Undoubtedly she was the devil.
Gavin leaped after her. but as she
saw him she beckoned mockingly. then
kissed her hand, and was gone.
A moment later came the sound of
a horn. The minister was on the
alert at once, and hurried to the
Square. That horn was a signal that
soldiers were marching on the village
folk to arrest some malefactors among
the weavers, who would resent 1t.
In the Square was an uproar. It
was the gypsy who had given the
warning. Gavin tried to persuade the
people to disperse to save bloodshed,
but the Egyptian cried:
"Do not heed this little mani Save
yourselves, and they obeyed her. The
soldiers came, but caught only a few,
the real culprits escaping. The
Egyptian was caught, but escaped the
officers first through clever ruse,
and again through impudently pre-
tending she was Gavin's wife!
He was furious. and yet he felt his
anger die as he looked at the beautI-
ful girl with the appealing eyes, and
coaxing laughing mouth. He even told
her to hide in the manse garden in

Gavin was in two minds after that,
angry at himeslf because of the Egyp-
tian, and yet he constantly thought OF
her. and wondered. He preached SER

ritching ways were the devil
One winter day the Egyptians timely
appearance saved old Nanny Webster
from the poorhouse. The gypsy i'm
pulsively offered five pounds to sup
port Nanny till her brother came back
from Jail. Then II was that Gavin
first believed in her. and said he'd
trust her word.
The happy Nanny persuaded the
minister to stay for tea. That tea
drinking bewitched the little minister,
for the fascinating BabbIe teased him
and he liked It.
Babbie brought him the money to
Caddam Woods next day, and gave
Gavin a holly spray that he secretly
treasured. Again and again he was
drawn to Nanny's cottage where Bah
bic frequently came. and he didn't un-
derstand at first that he was in love
with the mysterious girl with her
many caprices-all of which charmed
him. He little knew that Rob Dow

Rob's greatest fear was that the kirk
elders should learn OF the Egyptian
and the minister, and stone him out
of Thrums.
One night, Babbie flashed a lam
tern in at the manse window to
attract Gavin's attention. He wait
ed breathlessly till the manse was
quiet in slumber, then stole out to
meet Babbie at the summer seat
There in the darkness Gavin kissed
her, and Babbie realized for the
first time his love for her. She had
been playing with him. and felt
ashamed. She wanted to run away,
and she wanted to stay and have
him put his kiss into words. But
il was late. and it was that night

the little minister looked in vain
for her.
Then came the fourth of August,
the eve of Lord Rintoul's marriage,
an old earl staying at the Spittal,
whose bride was reported as young
and tonny.
But nearly all of Thrums were
concerned over the long drought
that had become calamity. and
that night there was to be "a spc-
cial prayer meeting for rain.
Then suddenly, Babbie came to
me in, the schoolhouse, saying that
Gavin bad been killed by a drunken
Highland piper. 1t was not true-a
rumor. but / found Gavin. and told
him where he would find Babbie,
though I felt ] was doing wrong.
Babbie told Gavin her story then
that she was to be Lord Rintours
bride on the morrow He had
found her when a mite, fallen from
a gypsy wagon. and for her beauty
had reared and educated her. Bah
bic and Gavin tried to give each

Rintours voice, and in terror clung
to Gavin, and the two ran off in
the darkness to the gypsy camp on
the hill to be married over the
tongs by the gypsy king.
That terrible night, with the
storm coming. the earl seeking his
lost bride. the dour elders relent-

Then came the flood. when the
heavens opened, and lochs seemed

fell into Rob's hands. but merciful-
ly escaped. and reached the manse.
Gavin wandered all night through
the storm after Babbie. and found
him exhausted near my house next
morning. He told me all that had
passed, and my anxiety for Mar
garet at the consequences of his
rash act led me to attempt to reach
Thrums. But before I left it was
necessary to tell Gavin my story.
that he was my son, and Margaret
was my wife. Margaret had mar
ried Adam Dishsrt first. and he had
gone to sea, and after two years all
thought him lost, and she married
me. Then when Gavin was three
years Old, Adam suddenly returned,
and l passed out of Margarets life
forever
Gavin sought to learn if Babbie
had been carried off Lord Rintoul,
and found the earl on an island in
the midst of floods Gavin jumped
to his aid. but nothing could be
done, and it was thought both must
perish. His congregation, gathered
by the preCipice. forgot they had
meant to expcl him. and listening
with dim eyes to his brave last
words knew only that they loved
him. Then Rob Dow threw his life

So Gavin and Babbie were mar

Yet sometimes at night. Babbie

the first time I ever saw Gavin and
the Egyptian together.
Gavin was brought up to be a min
ister from his earliest days, and took
to the idea enthusiastically. It had
been the dream of the two OF a manse,
of which Margaret was mistress, and
Gavin the minister. and now it was
fulhlcd.
Gavin became at once popular in
Thrums. and though short OF stature
he cast a great shadow. He converted
a drunkard. Rob Dow. who adored
him. and would do anything in the
world for him.
On the fatetul evening of October
Il, Gavin was returning from Rob
Dow's. and going home through Cad
dam Woods, when he heard singing.
The singer came dancing up Windy
ghoul. Only when she passed him did
Gavin see her as a gypsy elf, her bare
feet flashing beneath a short green
skirt. a twig of rowan berries in her
black hair. She was pale with an
angels loveliness. A diamond on her
finger shot thread of fire over a pool
as she danced by.
