Selected Story. &

Won ‘the Laird’s Daughter,

BA DANIEL GORRIE.

How I

Cnaprer Il.

“Weel, doctor, is it a’ richt wi’ the Laird ?” inquired Mr. Barlas when I returned to the Cross-Keys.

“Yes,” I rejoined, “it’s all right. Laird Ramsay is now my warmest and staunchest supporter, and a most com- panionable gentleman he is.”

“T never heard the like o’ that,” said the landlord, lifting up his eyebrows in astonishment. “Od docter, ye're jist like the auld Roman reiver, Cesar, wha gaed about seein’ an’ conquerin’. Ye hae a clear coast roo, when ye hae gotten the gudewill o’ the Laird and minister. An’ what think ye o’ the dochter? Isna she a comely lass, Miss Ramsay ?”

“She is, indeed, Mr. Barlas,’ I re- plied. “The young lady seems to do her best to make her father feel happy and comfortable, and I have no doubt that many ‘braw woers’ will frequently find their way to the Haugh.”

‘Na, doctor, Na. As I tell’t yeafore the Laird is unco fond o’ Miss Jessie, an’ I dinna think he would part wi’ her to the best man i’ the kintra-side. But ye hae sic an uncommon power 0’ comin’ roond folk that lwadna wonner to see ye tryin’t yersel.”

“Stranger things have happened, Mr. Barlas,” I rejoined. “Meantime, my mind is made up to settle down in St. Dunstan. I like the place and the peo- ple, the Eildon Hills, the Tweed, and Laird Ramsay.

“No to speak o’ his dochter,” inter- jected mine host with a knowing look.

“But where,” I contiuned, “am I to take up my quarters?”

“Ye needna put yersel in a peck o’ troubles aboot that, doctor. There's Dr. Sommerville’s cottage just waitin’ for ye alang the road a bit. It’s a commodious hoose wi’ trees roond it an’ a bonny garden at the back slopin’ to the south. Dr. Sommerville was fond o’ flowers, an’ I never saw a pleasanter place than it was in simmer. But the fac’ is, ye’ll hae to tak it, doctor, because there’s no anither hoose to let in the hale toun.”

“Such being the case, Mr. Barlas, tbere is no choice, and the matter is settled.”

“Just that—J ust that,” responded the landlord, and then added, with an eye to business, ‘Ye can mak the Cross-Keys yer hame till ye get the cottage a’ painted an’ furnished to your mind.”

‘* So be it, Mr. Barlas; and now that the house is seettled, what about a house- keeper? Was Dr. Sommerville mar- ried ?

‘* Married ? of course, he was married, an’ had lots o weans to the bargain. But just try yer hand wi’ Miss Ramsay. I would like grand to sce ye at that game | docter.”’

‘«‘ Nonsense,’”’ I rejoined. “I do not want to steal the Laird’s ewe-lamb, and break with him at the very commence- ment of my course. Is there no quiet, decent, honest body about St Dunstan who would make a good and active house- keeper ?”

“They're a’ honest an’ decent the- gither, except it be twa or three 0, the canglin, mugger folk wha mend auld pans and break ane anither’s heads. Let me see —stop a wee—ou, ay —lI have ye noo, doctor ; there’s Mrs. Johnston— a clean, thrifty, tidy woman o’ forty or thereabonts; she'll fit ye toa T. an’ keep . yer hoose like new leek. Her gudeman was an elder; but he took an inward trouble aboot a years syne, an’ a’ the skill o’ Doctor Sommerville couldna keep his life in when his time was come, I’ll speak to Mrs. Johnston the morn, so ye can keep yer mind easy about a house- keeper.”’ ,

‘* We're getting on famously, Mr. Barlas. The house and housekeeper are both disposed of. What next?

‘What next,doctor? The next thing, I’m thinkia’ ‘ill be a horse. Folk. will be sendin’ for ye post-haste to gapg sax or seven miles awa, an’ ye canna get on without a beast. Are ye onything skeely

“No,” I replied, “ not particularly.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Eyrz:.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many diiferent discases has doen caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s Capsicum Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an cutward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- oe in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dk. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribs them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and

ou want acertain cure, ask your druggist for yR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. lthough powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVrn’s Carst- CUM POROUS PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
