DAUGHTER OF EXILE

By ALEXANDER CAMPBELL

Once or twice he stopped by the tide of a loch and stooped to slate his thirst before going on. He was quite alone, and in s itc of the warm sun he shiver . The moor was too open, to outterly silent, ior his taste. There was not even the noise of a bird to break the still- ness. No trees grew on the waste oi bsg and heather. It was like cross- ing ine iveird surface of a dead p anet.

At last he toiled up a steep bank and stood on a roadway. A- head of him the houses of the vil- lage of Neils slraggled out ianwlse alcng the co t. The main road on which he stood ran straight through tlic village to the Port of Ncss. Two side rcacls brniiched_off past two sides of n wide triangular common. riveting again zit the point of the triangle iuiri running as one road lo the lijgliilinirst‘ at the Butt.

The villng" was large. and looked pl‘0$])9l\')ll.\. Many of the houses were large and well built. in strik- ing c.tnt:a'~t l0 the small thatched rmtdgc whit-h lay in a row behind them. The cottages represented an ' qingc ill the village's de- veicpmt l. The fine stone houses hncl prcbaby been built when the Port ul‘ Ness liud been almost as busy as Stornoxvay. but creeping san had silted upthe line harbour. and the port. liad lost most of its value.

Halforcl walks-d on until he came to one of the roads which branch- t-d oif. He assed through a gate- way and fol owed one oi them.

A hum of activity rose from the fields. and he passed carts rumbling continually to and fro.

The old church lay off the road. in the middle of a field. It was a fine buildinc. and had been care- fully reoonstructed and taken care nf. Services were still occasionally held in it. but it was mainly of historical interest. and the local guide book drew the attention of touriis to it as something well worth seeing.

Halford approached e house by the road and knocked. He explain- ni that, he wanted to have a look i}: tin; o1‘? church; sung ‘understood. zat e eywae ep e-

Thelfflfi benee the black hat was small and delicately cbiscelled. The e es were grey and looked mel- anchc y. A small grey moustache rested on his upper lip. He looked like e ioiesslon 1 man who, out- side of his vocation. might be sup- posed to be something oi a dilet- tante in the arts. or might take an interest in old wine. "You have come, then," he said. His voice would have been pleasar if it had not been for its curio " ilat quality. It was drained of col-

The man raised a hand to brush his nmusa he. The hand was white and soft like a women's The flesh under the base of the thumb was puckered 1p and drawn to ether, he result of a carelessly per ormed operation. The man seemed to be acutely aware oi the blemish, for he kept the hand half closed.

He indicated a chair, and Hal- ford sat down. The man removed his hat, revealing thin, steel rey hair brushed smoothly back rom the temples, and sat down beside Hsffwrd,

“Well? he said with a pleasant smile. “what is your news?"

Halford said: “Did you ever hear of a maxi cnll-"d General Aim Carmichael Mitchell?" _

"It is posstbl." his companion re- plied coolly. “Wh do you ask?"

“It you did now him. you wouldn't be so damned off-hand about if!" Halford burst out. “He's on: of the biggest ts in the M.I.. and-he's here in ewis! I've seen himl"

Rows of wooden chairs had been placed facing the altar at. the other end of the church. VQYlOUB T9135 were grouped about the altar. An lncicnt Gaelic Bible lay open on l1 carved stand.
