BOOK II.
CHAPTER I.
A Coyenantine House.

The glory Of Paisley Castle has long de-
parted, but it was brave and well-furnish-
ed house in the late spring of 1854. to which
this story now moves. The primroses were
blooming in sheltered hooks, where the
keen east wind-the curse and the strength
of Scotland-could not blight them, and
the sun had them for his wooing; there
were signs of foliage on the trees as the
buds began to burgeon, and send a simmer
of green along the branches: the grass re-
viving after winter was showing It's first
freshness, and the bare earth took a softer
color In the caressing sunlight. The birds
had taken heart again and were seeking
for their mates, some were already build
Ing their summer homes. Life Is one
throughout the world. and the stirring Of
spring in the roots of the grass and in the
trunks Of the trees touches also human
hearts and wakes them from their winter.
The season of hope, which was softening
the clods of the field. and gentiing the
rough massive walls Of the castle. were

not fit for promotion 1 did you injustice.
for, though there be some heat in you,
there is far more capacity. and 1 take it you

last few words were spoken with a slight
effort. and Graham. when in his better
mood the most magnanimous of men, was
suddenly touched by the remembrance of
the princes station and ability, his cour-
age and severity and his grace in making
this amende to one who had spoken rudely
to him. Claverhouse would have responded
but was again silent in obedience to a
sign from the prince.
Let me say plainly, Mr.. Graham, that
you are a soldier whom any commander
will be glad to enroll for life service in his
army. but"-and here his highness looked
searchingly at Graham as he had once done
before-'I doubt whether your calling be
in the Dutch army or in any army that is
of mind or is likely to fight for our
cause.

politics of the Duke of York when he be-
came king and those of William, and even
then there must have been some who saw
afar off the conflict which ended In Will
liam and Mary succeeding James upon the
throne of England. There were many en-
vieu Claverhouse when it came out that
he was to be a member of the princes
suite, and be associated with the princes
most distinguished courtiers. But he car
RED himself, upon the whole, with such
graciousness and gallantry that his brother
officers congratulated him on every hand
and feasted him SO lavishly before he left
that certain Of his own comrades of the
princes guard were laid aside from duty
for several days. 1t to the credit of
both men that on the morning of his de-
parture one of his last visitors was Col
MacKay, who wished him success and
prophesied that they would hear great
things of him in days TO come. since 1t
was understood that Claverhouse would
not return to the Dutch service.
For some time after the arrival of the
prince and his staff in London. William
gave no sign of the good he was going to
do Claverhouse. Indeed, he was busy with
the work of his wooing and the arrange
ments for hts marriage. Claverhouse by
this time had learned, however, that Will

pensation Of John Baptist is done with in
my humble judgment, and 1 count the re-
and soul-destroying snare of the Papists
Ye are a good man, Mr.. Henry, and
faithful minister of the Word but We would
be a better, with fewer dreams and more
sense for daily duty, besides being more
comfortable. If you had a wife. Doubtless
the days are evil and there be those who
would say that this is not time to marry
but if you had the right wife 1t is no I'M
likely we might be safer than We are today
For there would be a big house to hide you,
and, at the worst, you and she could make
your ways to Holland. and get shelter from

My fear" continued her ladyship, is
not that we will do wrong in marrying, but
that We may fail to win the wife We told me
yesterday was your desire. No, Mr. Henry,
1t is not that am not with you, for am a
favorer of your suit. In those days when
the call is for every one to say whether he
be for God or Baal, would rather see my
daughter married to faithful minister of
the kirk, than to the proudest noble in
Scotland who was a prosecutor Of the
Lords people. As regards blood, mind me

Game and Disease,

FROM the London News.
We remember the saying attributed to
Huxley that the single ladies of Old Eng
land are to be thanked for tie superioritv
oil our beef, because they keep cats to de-
stroy the mice thai would otherwise exter-
inmate the humbla-bees that fertiIize the
red clover on which our cattle feed. Now
some one is writing TO the Spectator to
propose the slaug htering of game in tho
Zambesi valley IL order to prevent tho
spread of sleeping sickness. The proposal
hinges on what we consider to be the mis-
taken statement by Mr.. Austen of the Brit
lsh Museum, thai the tsetse fly cannot
exist long without mammalian blood. The
other step in the argument is no more sure
namely, that the tsetse fly is indispensa-
BILE to the spread Of sleeping sickness.
The evidence is not sufficient to con-
denim the game of even a portion of the
Zambesi valley. The animal that demands
mammalian blood is, We fancy, far greater
than the tsetse fly. and the fact that, un-
like the deer, he Is capable of writing TO
the papers must not be allowed to pre-
vail.

upon the walls and the stands Of arms, he
seemed to be rather the messenger and
forerunner of the world which is to come.
AS he looks out upon the fair spring view

his lonely vigils, with no company but the
curlew and the sheep, he has fallen upon

liam forgot nothing and never failed to
carry out his plans, and his pulse beat
quicker when the prince requested him to
be in attendance one afternoon, and to
accompany him alone to Whitehall, where
the Duke OF York was in residence. There
was certain superficial likeness in char
acter between the prince and his father
in-law. for both appeared unfeeling and
unSympathetic men, but what in James
was obstinacy, In William was power, and
what in James was supersttious, in Will
liam was religion and what in James
pride, in William was dignity. His friends
could trust William. but no one could trust
James; while William could make immense
sacrifices for his cause. James could wreck
his cause by an amazing blindness and a
foolish grasping at the shadow of power
If any one desired a master under whom
he would be led to victory. and by whom
he would never be put to shame, master
who might not praise him effusively but
would never betray him then let him. as
he valued his life and his career, refuse
James and cleaVe to William. But 1t is
not given to man to choose his creed. far
less his destiny, and Claverhouse was never
to have fortune on his side. 1t was to be
his lot rather to he hndered at every turn
where he should have been helped, and to
run his race alone with many weights and
over the toughest ground.

Claverhouse, overcome by the remem-
brapce Of the past is stirred to the heart,
and can hardly make his reverence for
emotion. AS he kisses James hand he reg
listers a vow which he was to keep with his
life. And when he has left the presence of
the duke the Prince of Orange said to
Claverhouse's new master: You have. sir,

The conditions for the requirement. Of

in Alaska. In Canada 1t is possible for Il
man and three sons. the youngest of whom
is seventeen years of age, each to take W

a house for all on one quarter section, DO
the required six months improvement work
on each for three years and at the END OF
that time obtain crown grants for ali four
quarter sections. In Alaska, while condi-
lions are very liberal, a man taking up
homestead of 800 acres must do improve
meni work for five years before obtaining
title, though he is privileged at the end
of the first year to have 100 acres surveyed
at his own expense, and by paying Sl2o an
acre obtain full right to 1t.
