DON. @aun, I could not resist the temptation fo spend an hour or two in Edin- thereh in the delectable diversion of making my old comraces envious. The ichievement was not difficuit. <A few e@ignificant hints, and the sight of my betters and drafts brought every man wof them as near to Lursting as the @reg in the fable.

Only one thing marred my enjoy- ment. I had it set in my mind to give Peter Clephane the soundest drubbing fe had ever had in his lite, but as he imappened to be absent in Dundee my wirtuous intent did not blossom into saciion. Arrived in London, my first business “Fas to find Caniain Rogers.

I wandered through the seeth- jig, roaring wilderness of the largest ‘ity of the werld eager to learn and a#eimire, yet feeling so utterly out of “ny element, so much confvunded by the din and smoke and rush, by the @umihliess self-assertiveness end indif- Yerence that seemed to characterize Men and things alike, by the ssualor and splendour so grotesquely @na@ tragically contrasted—in a rd, mo dazed by the distracting throb and famult of a nation’s mighty heart, that € was glad to get away. When che time came to sai!, the riv- ©r sides were thronged with people to witness the spectacle of our departure; for, that being just the beginning of the era of steam, it was thought a miraculous thing to see a stately three- @echker sailing off with never a stitch of canvas set nor any visible means sf wetting forward save by a wheel that frantically churned the water in- te foam; and if it was strange to the *geectators on shore to see a big ship seeing bravely on independently of “Wind and tide J must own it was rath- es Startling to one at least of those on foward to be caged up on the waters “ith a belching, pounding, wheezing, Sereeching fire demon that seemed to fe crying out in eternal agony and “izuggling with ali its frenziel might S@ burst its. bonds and wreak :lestruc- “ion on all about it. ften in the night have I lain listen- mg to it in its minigture pandemonium, mever silent, never slumbering, never for one brief moment at peace, but fercwer wrenching and writhing, for- sewer setting up the same inappeasable og of labouring pain and the same terrible threat of vengeance.

The sun was goirg dewn in a soft suffusion of colour as we entered the strait, casting a glamorous iridescent light on the receding land and the sails of the many stately ships that were bearing gallantly up and dcwn, some, like ourselves, out- ward bound, others, their wanderings for the present over, bound for the home we had left. I stood on the deck gazing backward till the land melted into darkness, then Captain Rogers quietly slipped his arm in mine, and we went below to supper. The Pearl of the Orient made a quick and prosperous passage, landing us in Bombay in a day less than the time reckoned for the voyage before starting. You mav be sure I did not allow Sir Thomas’ busiress to lag. Having preseated my letters of in- troduction, and undergone a brief but fiery course of hospitality, I set vigor- ously to the work before me, assisted by the numerous friends of my patron. I had no difficulty in discovering that Donald Gordon had been in Bombay some eighteen months before, and had suddenly disappeared. But whither he had gone, whether he had departed by land or by sea, or been despatched by the hand of the “assassin, no one had the least idea. There were of ecurse conjectures in plenty. He might be hunting tn Lhe jungle, or tak- furnished me with letters of introduc- tion to the best known and most influential men in Bombay, besides Writing many private and special let- ters in my behalf which I did not see. My career was to be a mercantile one —that, on mature consideration, being thought tc afford the easiest and Speediest way to affluence for one of my talents. “The richest uropeans in India are rerchants and bankers,’ said Sir Thomas, “and they are all, as the say- ing is, self-made men. The days of the East India Company are over. There are no fortunes being made in that service now, though,” in a signi- ficant voice, “it was not always so. But India is a wide field, and these letters, Mr. Andrew, will, I think, put you in a pesition to choose according to your tastes. I have no advice to offer except not to be in too much * haste to decide.’ For whet Sir Thomas had specially at heart all provision was made both in letters and in money. Of the iast there was to be alsolutely no stint. I Was to spend as much and as long as I should think proper, or in other werds as long as there should be the faintest hepe of tracking Donald. * My bankers shall have full instruc- tions in the matter,” said Sir Thomas, “and in the meantime we must not forget preliminary expenses.’’ Where- upon he insisted on my taking in ready mcney and bankers’ drafts a sum that seemed to me a fortune. Finally, as I was in great zlee with my prospects and protested against delay, it was arranged that in exactly three weeks irom the date of my heme-coming I was to sail from London in the steam- ship the Pearl, of the Orient, com- randed by Captain Rogers, who, be- ing a friend of Sir Thomas, was charg- ed to provide for my comfort on ship- beard. And made, so the ultimate decision was L I was to lift anchor and set Sail for the unknown, as so many did be ore and SO many will do after me. Tix w I fared there, how the reality be- li i all dreams and anticipations, how fate mocked at wisdom, made naught of forethought and a plaything of me it will be the business of succeeding pages to tell. Coming events cast no shadow before, and in the meantime I was eager and havoy. How the three weeks passed I can- not very well say. I was a frequent guest at The Elms and saw a good deal of Isabel, whose presence I learn- ed to bear without shrinking or shak- ing. She talked to me of her life in India, and also of her’ brother, for whom had the warmest affection and admiration. “They may tell you stories about Donald,” she once said. “They may Say he was a scamp, and all that, for it is easy talking. But dont believe them. He was high-spirited, that Was his fault, and my father crossed him. His worst sin was to become u soldier when his friends wanted him to be something else, and the records of the War Office show he was no cow- ard. He saved the British colours When the enemy broke a _ British Square, and he has done many a brave thing since It he had remained in the army, he’d have got got almost any rank, but he hadn’t peace to do that, and it’s since he left it we have lost trace of him.” i She never missed a chance of speak- ing about him. He seemed to fill her whole soul, to be her only thought, a circumstance that secretly piqued me not a little. “Oh,” she would often break out in the most irrelevant way, “ if you could only find my brother, if you could only find Donald, I should be so grateful to you. But indeed, indeed,” and here she she would look in my face till I thought I saw visions of heaven, “I will be just as grateful to you if you never find him.
