THE SCOTCH
LASSIE
By ELIZABETH CHARNLEY
Copyright by American Press Asso­
ciation. 1911.
My brother is a youug widower with
several little children, and 1. Ids sister
am his housekeeper. I advertised for
a governess for the children and se­
cured the services of a young girt
who had recently arrived from Scot­
land. She had lived Iu nfllueuce in her
native land, but shortly before her
coming to America a large bnnk failed
of which her father was a director.
The law in Scotland Is very hard on
men who directly or indirectly lose
money for others, and in tills ease all
the directors of the bank, though they
were entirely innocent, having left ev­
erything pertaining to the bank to the
president, were all convicted of fraud
and sent to prison. Our governess’ fa­
ther was among the number. She beg­
ged to be allowed to go to prison in his
place, but of course i<us not permit­
ted. He died long before the end of
his term, arid bis daughter Was left an
orphan.
In time my brother began to ap­
pear conscious of Grace MacAllster's
presence in the household. If lie came
home and found that b U c had goue out
on any errand for herself or the chil­
dren 1 could easily detect a look of dis­
appointment in his face. Hut after Ids
wife's death be wns very dependent in
finding every one of us nt home when
he returned from business, and it was
Impossible for us to get away for nny
length of time. Then, too, in the even­
ing he would rely on us to play cards
with him, usually calling In a neighbor
to make a fourth baud. And so a year
went by and all wns going well when
something happened.
A young man about Grace's age,
with a trifle of the Scotch dialect
about him, came to the house and
called for her.
That evening Ed­
gar was In a very bad humor. He
was obliged to give up bls game of
cards. Grace remained in the draw­
ing room with the strnnger till late,
while I wns trying to amuse Edgar in
the library. At 10 Edgar wont out
to bls club—something he had not
done before since Miss MacAllster bad
become one of us—nnd at 11 returned
In. If possible, a worse humor than
when he departed.
1 supposed Grace would say some­
thing nbout the visitor—the only caller
she had had since she came to us—but
she did not, nnd it would have been
impertinent for me to question her
about him. Edgar fenced a good deal
with me to find out who the man was
without appearing anxious to know,
and when I told him that Miss Mac-
A lister had not said anything about
him to me my brother seemed to be
very ill at ease.
For a few weeks tho strnnger called
to see Grace frequently, When with
him she usually closed tho door of
the room they were In, nnd, in any
event, when conversing w ith him it was
in such low tones that not a word
they said was even overheard. Dur­
ing this period Edgar wns positively
unbearable.
He fretted because he
must forego his cards and at one
time went so far as to nsk me to sug­
gest to the governess that the stran­
ger's absorption of her time nnd at­
tention was Interfering with her care
of the children. I know that lie wns
suffering from jealousy and that if I
did what be proposed he would never
forgive me.
One evening when the young Scotch­
man did not cnll Miss MacAllster came
to mo and said:
"The gentleman who has been to see
me frequently of Into is a suitor of
mine from the time I was a wee thing.
When my father was in trouble tuy
iover kept away from us. Now he
comes courting me, but I dlnna love
him, and. If I did, that he ouce blamed
my father would be a barrier between
us. I sent him harne yesterday, and
he's now on the ocean on his way to
bonny Scotland. I’ve known that his
presence here might excite curiosity,
but 1 didna like to tell ye who he
was and what was hla errand till he
bad gone,”
I lost no time in Imparting the confi­
dence to Edgar, telling him for the first
time who was Miss MacAllster's visitor
and the reason of his presence In Amer­
ica. I ahall never forget the sigh of
relief he drew or the expression on bis
face while I gave the girl's history.
"Tou see, my dear," I added. "Miss I
MacAllster is sensitive on the point of
her father’s misfortune or failure to
watch those luteresta he was expected
to watch."
1 said this because 1 had feared, as I
have already mentioned, thnt Edgar's
feelings or treatment of the girl would
Change if he knew the facts or that his
sturdy honesty nnd discrimination be­
tween right and wrong might lead him
to nay so met hi ng that would turn
Grace against him. He made uo com-
went whatever on what I had told
him, but tlie next day informed ma
that he had proposed to Miss Mac­
Allster and been accepted.
And then I learned for the first time
that an affair bad been In progress be­
tween them ever since Grace bad been
a member of our family, though only
In feeling, for not a word of love had
been spoken between them. Iler mis­
fortune, which lie got for the first time
from me. only served to draw him the
nearer to her.
