There was a silence, during which Fenella turned back in spirit to the luxuriously furnished room, the daint- ly set-out tea-table, lately left, andi hovered delightedly round the fascin-| ating vision. "Where did you get that cap, Fen- ella?" Fenella, awaking from her vision, became aware of her brother's eyes fixed upon her with a radiantly ap- proving, gaze. - "This cap? From Oban." "It suits you splendidly: down to the ground. But dén't you think it's time for a new frock?" "Julia told me she can't afford one / ust . "She'll afford one fast enough when J ve--given her my views.

And a moment later he added, in a half soliloquy: "How pleased poor mother would be!" * * * * * * That evening, the dinner-gong at Balladrochit was once more preceded by a short conversation between the cousins. J "What do inquired Mabel, with' one foot on the fender, and an openwork silk stocking freely displayed. "I think 'they've rather a success.

Yes; they're quite amusing, and the gir] is quite pretty." "Pretty 7" repeated Ronald, tearing open his eyes in' a manner .that was positively disconcerting, "Surely she's ~-she's--" he Stopped short under his cousin's surprised gaze rather red in the face. es "I see," Mabel was saying in the /mild accents of genuine amusement; "J suppose it's here that the adjective 'adorable' would have better come in. Cheer up, Ronnie," and she lightly touched his sleeve with her fan; "you'll' have your opportunities, since 1 mean to cultivate the aborigines. I'm not narrow in my views, you know; only mind you don't turn the native head too completely!" Whereupon the confidences were cut short in precisely the same fashion as those of yesterday. A CHAPTER VII The loch-end had this much resem- blance to the world's end that it seem- ed difficult to "met beyond it. The steeply rising hill, up to whose rocky feet the water crept, stood here-like a rampart, ite forbidding solitude broken, until a few months back, by nothing but the gulls, or the 'big grey | herons, flapping lazily between the oak-trees which, from the borders of; precipices, bent as though to catch! | borer and hammer. Poe think of the natives?" upon him the burden of the situation The Glasgow University which; to the father, had beén a prison-house, was to the son a palace of delights-- but of purely intellectual delights, since he was far too prudent, as well as far too determined, to wabte pre- cious hours-upon the orthodox follies. Time enough for that later on--when he had "arrived." There he had] drunk with rapture the creeds of thé age, Which threw open the world to energy and intellect, and put up bar: tiers only to the stupid and lazy. From thence he emerged a socialist in theory, contemptuously intolerant of the tyranny of class distinctions, and yet calmly prepared in practice to profit by them, should they happen to serve his purpose. They were ridiculous, of course} "but so were many things in the world. It was his Highland "canniness" which told him that the time for kicking them Re C over was not yet come.

On themselves it depended to which of the two the would finally belong. That the "rise" achieved by John M'Donnell should rove permanent _in its effects had ong been resolved by Albert, since fell. Not that in his heart, and even while as a matter of policy, keeping his humble relatives at a distance, he 'at all despised his own origin--he was too intellectually democratic for that --but because 'the prizes he coveted belonged to the higher social level. Free though he was of his mother's snobbishness he could not always avoid the adoption of snobbish. methods. So far, worldliness had not killed family affection. = Of his younger sis. tery in particular, he was proud with a true brotherly pride, and the assiduity with which he watched over her was not entirely spent on the trump-card in the game of life. Even for his father he was not devoid of a sort of tolerant tenderness. The idea of con- verting the dreamer to more reason able views of life had long since been dropped as unfeasible.
