There was the sound of another voice at the door, one anxious and a little gueryiuas, The Lecturer was listén- ing with straying attention, and did not hear Mr. at cart's last words. Presently his wife came to the door of the little parlor. "Daniel, you are wanted' she said. The Infidel Lecturer went out and almost immediately returned. "Mother," he said, quietly, "do not wait up for me. I am needed over in| the Grassmarket, I may not be home - "weil, Daniel," said his wife, evidently accustomed to such an event. "Will you walk a little way with me, Mr. Kennedy?" said Mr. Bisset, "going to the cornér to take a great oaken staff in his hand; "we will talk as we go. I am sorry to bid Jos good- night so soon, Mr, Catheart, but a sick man wishes to see me. Such things happen even to a pastor without a church, an apostle. without a creed!" He smiled slightly and held out his 'hand. The schoolmaster took it with an alacrity which was not lost upon | Kit.- He on-his. part could -do-nothin but prepare to obey.

When Kit thought, she had gone in he stole one swift glance back, and lo! there she was still, her arms on the rail, looking down on him. Her face lit up quickly as if: shegwere saying, "Tell him!" She waved her hand gracefully and kindly towards him, and somehow Kit went out into the whirling snowstorm 'strangely com- forted. Though he had left the school master in the little lampelit parlof alone with his sweetheart, Kit some- how felt that he had taken the soul of Mary Bisset out with him into the storms, The Infidel (as Mrs. Christieson most unjustly called him) was Co d in a huge Inverness cloak of rieze, with a collar which stco iT about: his ears. - Kit, who had never possessed a great coat in his life, sim- ply buttoned his stout tweed jacket A to the neck and strode on beside his: friend.

And Kit told all he knew. - He spoke of his grandfather, the ruling Elder in the Kirk-on-the-Hill. He told of his mother's marriage, and of all the unhappiness which came after, off the loss of the Dornal, and fhe stone- breaking by the roadside. én, soft- ening the details as much as possible} he told of his first sight of the "Orral Man," of their compaet, and how it was carried out. He related the story of the long nights of three winters in the Black Sheds, of the early summer mornings that broke ere they had fin- ished their work, and of all the grow- ing knowledge which had ended in the winning of the First Galloway Bur- sary. And: as he talked the hand;of the Infidel Lecturer fell upon his shou' der and remained there. © Daniel Bisset heard Kit to the end and then he spoke. "We'll make a man of you yet," he said; "but first we must make a man of your father!" hey were crossing the wide space at the higher corner of Candlemaker Row, now tortured and tumuituous with whirling snow. Greyfriars' Bob- bie, coated white as he must often have been during his lonely vigils on his master's grave, looked 'down upon them as: they turned down into the dark trench of houses. "1 will think over this and find your father," said Mr. Bisset; "no one can i long be hid in this little city, thowgh there are some queer places in' it, too. i But T can go where: the-poiice daremot It is my one privilege. Now, do you {turn back!" "Let me come all the way with you," said Kit, impulsively. The Lecturer seemed to hesitate a moment. 4 "Well," he said, "you 'may see some strange things and observe what you call religion from a new angle. Still, if you wish it you may come.

He strode 'straight along a narrow passage, his great shoulders brushing either wall equally, and Kit followed at his heel. before the Firet Bursar of the United Galloway Societies. His guide entered a:small kitchen room, clean and carefully tidied up. The tiles of tHe fireplace had been re- Y| cently whitened, and the ribsiof the grate were blacked and polished. A kettle sang thinly on thé hob. There were two closed and curtained beds along ong wall, and upon them small heaped mounds told of!the sleep of childhood. As Kit stooped oneiof the heaps moved a little, and he caught the glint of a black eye and: a tossed elf lock that fell over @ thin inquir- ing face. On the other side was a larger bed; also let into the wall and curtained with faded chintz. The latter had been so often washed that the color and pattern were almost indistinguish- able. Nevertheless everything was clean as country linen. A man, smal-featured, haggard,' hollow of "eye and theek; lay sunkenly on the bed. His. thin hand drooped over the coverlet.
