The general opinion was that they had all come as part of my retinue, and everyone suddenly re- membered how he or she had predicted epeedy wealth for me,

“I kenned ye would soon be back wi’ a fortune and wheen black men, sir,” the people would say, when congratu- lating me on my happy return. “I aye said so,"

Good cause I had to with that the fawning supposition was true. Me first gladness of my home-coming was scarcely over and the tale of my ad- ventures told when I began to suspect that things were as bad with us as when I left—that indeed they were a

great deal worse. My father, being a taciturn man, said little to indicate pressing trouble, but my dear mother, who used to be the light of the place, now went about with a white, drawn face and eyes that were hardly ever dry.

At last her distress became so plain and painful to me that third or fourth after my arrival—when we were alone together, | She was so troubled, and if there was anything I could do for her. throwing her arms about my neck, she laid her head on my breast and sob- bed so sorely that I could not help cry- ing for company.

“ My darling mother,” I said, “ what does all this mean ? Tell me what is the matter.”

She did not speak, but stood weep- ing and stroking my hair as she used to do in the long past.

“Tell me, mother, what is wrong ?” I said again. ‘Tell me—I cannot en- dure this.”

“Oh, Andrew, it breaks my heart,” she answered, through her crying, ‘to think that after all you have done and

Suffered you come back to a ruined home. Nothing but a miracle will Save us from being turned out like

beggars on the heath.” The world suddenly swam before my eyes. “And who is doing this 7” I asked, a quick gasp. “The man who professed so much friendship for us—your father’s cousin, Thomas Clephane, the lawyer, of Dun- dee.”’ “ Thomas

for the iGea could scarcely force it- self into my brain. “Thomas Cle- phane! And how may he have the

power to do it ?’

“He has the power which an over- due mortgage on the whole place gives him.”

‘* Mother,” I cried, fiercely, “ be shall not take Kilgour! I wfll kill him firet.”°

ing closer to me. “ You will not com- mit murder. IT must not lose my boy as well as mw home. No, no, I must not lose vou.’ “Stay, mother. more. Has his son—has near the rilace at all ”’’ “Yes; he has been both here and at The Elms. 1 think he is friendly with

Yet, there is a way of resisting it ; of drawing its poisoned fangs, and making it as harmless as a summer breeze. That great medicine, Dodd’s Kidney Pills, has cured thousands of the worst cases. It never fails to cure, hopeless as the case may seem.
