CHAPTER XIX.
The Search.

All through that summer day the
search went on. 1t seemed utterly i'm
possible that Sybil could have been car
ried off without leaving some clue that
might lead to her discovery; yet such
was the case.
The thickly-wooded acres that sur
rounded Give Towers, though cleared
and cultivated artistically in the imme-
diate vicinity Of the house, had been
left. in the more distant portions Of the
estate. covered with primeval forest.
Many had wondered at the lack of
interest Robert Give had shown Of
late in improving his noble Inheritance.
Spectators had offered him tempting
prices for the ground, that was now
only a beautiful wild wood, yet he re-
fused them all. giving no other reason
than his preference to retain his un-
cle's estate intact. For old Basil Give
had seemed possessed of mania for
land holding, and during his life had
grasped at every acre in his vicinity,
whether worthless or valuable.
Hence it was that such wild spots as
the Haunted Hollow" and the witch
es' Cave" had come into Robert Gives
possession. One might roam for days
through the great stretch of forest that
formed the northern portion of Give
land. The woodman's AK rarely eci
oed in these sylvan solitudes; the grand
old oaks raised their stately heads into
the winter SHOWS and summer sun
shine as royalty as If the destroying
hand of man had no power over their
domain. and the huge grape vines that
twined like giant serpents among their
branches. lifted their tempting clus.
ters far beyond the most adventurous
reach.
No road traversed this shadowy Wild
erness: it w6s only threaded by little
footpaths that led, beneath sweeping
boughs and interlacing limbs, to the
river.
Even Dr. Bond. with the memories cf
bygone hunts still fresh in his mind,
when he had secured Give Forest for
days together in search of game. was
forced to confess that five-and-twenty
wears make great changes, even in the
unspoiled face of nature.
He turned and returned: went for
ward. as lie thought, for hundreds of
wards, only to find that the labyrinth
inc paths had led him back to the spot
whence he had started.
The landmarks of old were gone; the
SCARED oak had fallen: the Beacon
Rock was overgrowL by vines: the
beaten path that had once served as a
sort of highway through which the
weekly coach made its numbering prog
ress. was choked by young planta-
ton Of oaks. !

A little boys heroism was tested, not

of a contemporary relates that a gentle
man in New England town proposed
to drive with his wife to the beautiful
cemetery beside the river, beyond the
town. Calling to his son, bright little
boy some four years old, he told him to
get ready to accompany them. The
child's countenance fell, and the father
said, "Don't you want o go, Willie"
The little lip quivered, but the child an

during the drive, and when the carriage
drove under the wide archwav he chung
to his mothers side and looked up in her
face with pathetic usefulness. The
party alighted and walked among the
graves and along the tree-shadowed
avenues, looking at the inscriptions on
the last resting place of the jewellers in
the beautiful city of the dead. After an
hour so spent, they returned the carriage,
and the father lifted his little son to his

Derivation of the Word Boer.

1t is curious to mote, in connection with
the natural designation of our present
foes in South Africa, the survivance in
Scottish legal and agricultural parlance
of the closely allied term Bower" (pro-
nounced Booer) The expressions prop
erly applied to person who hires, from
the proprietor or principal tenant of a
farm, stock of cows along with the
right of grazing them on certain fields.
The Bower makesin return money pay
ment of so much per cow, and trusts to
making his profit out of the sale of the
dairy produce. The precise legal posi-
ton of a party who has Blowing"
lease is somewhat indeterminate, beng
midway between that of mere mana.
ger and that of a sub-tenant. Instances
of this mixed contract of lease of land
and hiring of labor are now rare, but it
is still to be foundin agricultural districts.
An instance of it in Arran was the sub
ject of judicial consideration in 1894
The word "bower" is allied to the Gaelic
"bo," cow, and among its numerous
cognates in the Aryan languages is in
cluded the Dutch term "Boer."- London
