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.

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 in Clephane !” I repeated, for the iGea could scarcely force it- self into my brain. “Thomas Cle- phane!

When the time came, I slipped se- cretly out (having breathed no whis- per of what was in the wind) and made off to the trysting-place, wheré Donald was to have my weapon test- ed and ready, As I was hurrying along, thinking what would be the consequence if Peter or myself were killed, I was startled at hearing my name called from a thicket by the way- side.
