Flossie smothered an exclama-

Angela, what do you mean?"
he said
And she answered him, very
slowly and deliberately.
He sat for some tine after she
had ceased, staring at her with a
kind of stupefaction on his face.

hand, took his.

A Marriage An the Highlands.

Angela was married under the
tree as she had wished to be mar
ried; and Flossie, standing a few
PAGES behind her, owned to him
self that nothing could have
been more beautiful than that
hillside ceremony.
Sheila watched from the shell
ter of her cottage door, with old
Donald in the background, hold
ing the rein of the hill-pony
which was to bear his chiefs
bride away on her homeward
journey.
When 1t was all over Jock led
Angela to the door of Sheila's
cottage.
Then the old minister, Nc.
Macpherson, came in, and Flossie.
But present Mr.. Macpherson,
and Sheila, and even Jock slipped
away and Angela found herself
alone with Flossie.
She put her hand into his, in
the way she had been used to do
when, as a child, she had come
to him with her joys and sorrows.

Word From the ScaPegoet.

And SO began for these two
their new life together.
They spent all their days out
of-doors, wandering where fancy
took them, FIossie's basket strap
ped to Flora's saddle or lying
under the seat of the boat, for
they were as often on the loeh as
on the moor.
On their return one evening
they found the post-bag waiting
for them; but as they were late.
they did not open 1t until after
dinner.
Nearly everything for you.'
said Jock, as he gave a fat bum
die of letters and enclosures into
Angelas hand.
For some time there was moth
ing heard but the rustling OF
notspaper and the Sitting open
of envelopes. Now and again
Angela laughed softly.
Jock was sitting by the open
window smoking. Suddenly two
arms were thrown round his neck.
Jock you are the dearest

His pipe was knocked out of
his mouth. but he did not mind.

said Jock slowly.
He took Alister's letter cut of

then handed it to her.

he wished her 60 do 50. Her in
ward comment was:

around. The cottage is to be

Then her guardian took both
her hands in his. God bless you,
deari" he said grsvely. You
have chosen your husband: be
faithful to him" Then he drop
ped her hands quickly, and moved
to the door. She heard him talk
ing outside. and he put his head
in again and called In q brisk,
authoritative voice: Madam;
Your palfrey, or whatever you call
this animal out here. Is saddied
and bridled-and provisIoned for

Angela came to the door.

basket come FROM" she said.

backed pony, was sure-footed as

But she might make a mis-

And so they climbed the hill
together-not too quickly, for
there was no need to hurry.
At last the summit was
reached.

claimed Angela. Il wish my

CHAPTER XII.
Exploring the New Home.

1t was when the sun had
begun to dip towards the hill
tops that they turned their faces
homewards.
1t was a typically lovely BIT OF
Highland loch-scenery which they
we're traversing. The road ran
close to the waters edge, and on
the right the ground rose in a
gentle slope. and was thfckly
wooded with a natural growth of
oak and birch. As the glen
widened. the hilItops came into
view above the fringe of green.
Turning the corner of a grassy
knoll, they came upon a eobble-
stoned fetty which ran out into
the water. Alongside of 1t was
q boathouse. brown and wealth
er-stafned. A few PAGES farther
on Flora stopped of her own ac.
cord before a white gate.
Welcome-to your home. .
Jock said. as he lifted Angela
from the saddle.
A man was standing by Flora s
head, holding his cap In his
hand.
Il must introduce you TO
Hamish," said Jock, and added
in an undertone, He's my
kind of add-man. He's come 70
take the pony. You won't under
stand his Gaelic welcome, but
Just shake hands with him and
he'll be so pleased.
Hamish spoke in Gaelic and
Angela spoke in English, but
they understood each other per-
fecty.
On the doorstep q surprise
greeted them. ShefIa stepped
out. and stretching mp her arms
to their highest. she broke a
large oatcake over Angela, and q
deluge of crumbs descended on
the brides head.

turning to address Sheila.
But Sheila had vanished as
mysteriously as she had appeared.
and Angela stepped across the
threshold of her new home.

the middle of a square hall. A
skin rug lay on the stone flags
in front of the old-fashioned fire.

In the middle of the hall a
round table was set, ready for
