Fnr up la the wIM nnd lonely hill
lint form the backbone of eaatcrn Inver-neaa-shlre.
and the divert null t mica draw
their water from the thousand mystic
named or nameless rills, Manila the lodge
of Alll-nam-ba. The plain little double-
Kabled building occupies a promontory
formed hy the continence of two brawl
ing stream, ami face a long, wide,
beautiful ralley, which terminate In the
winding waters of a loch. It la the only
sign of habitation In the strangely silent
district; anil It la the last. The rough
hill mail leading to It termlnatea there
At the door of thl solitary little lodge,
on a morning tow aril the em! of July, Yo
Umle Wlntertamrn wa Mainline engag
ed In buttoning on her driving glove,
but occaalnnally glancing out at the be
wildering, changeful, tlahlttg ami gleam
ing day around her. For, Indeed, alnce
she had come to live at Allt-nam-ba, ahe
liad acquired the conviction that the
place aeemed very cloae up to the sky;
and that thl broad valley, walled In by
thoac great and silent hllla, formed a
sort of caldron. In which the element
were In the habit of mixing up weather
for transference to the whie world be
yond. At thi very moment a continual
phantasmagoria of cloud effeeta waa pass
ing before her eye. Far mountain to
grew blacker and blacker In shadow;
then the gray mint of the rain atole alow
ly acres and hid them from view; then
they reappeared again, and n atidden
aim ft of aiinllEht wouM atrlkc on the
yellow-green slope, ami on the boulder
of wet and glittering granite.
However, ahe waa not much dismayed.
When the dog cart waa brought round,
ahe stepped Into It lightly, took the relua
aa If to the manner born, though ahe
had never handled a whip until Mr.
Graham had put her In training at In
veratroy. Then there waa a atrlct charge
to Jane to ace that brlik Area were kept
burning In all the room. And then the
youthful and falrhalred Sandy having
got up behind ahe relraaed the brake;
and presently they were making their
way, slowly and cautloualy down tho
atony path, and over the loud-sounding
wooden bridge that here ipana the roar
ing red-brown water of the Allt-cam
ban.
nut when once they were over the
bridge and Into the road they quickly
mended their pace. There waa an un
uiual eagerness and brlghtnc In her
look. Sandy the groom knew that the
atout and serviceable cob In the ahafta
waa a aure-footed beaat; but the road
waa of the rough rut; and he could not
understand how the young Rngllah lady,
who waa generally very cautious, should
drive so fast. Waa It to get away from
the black thunder masses of cloud that
lay over the mountains behind them?
Here, at least, there seemed no danger
of any storm. The sunlight waa brilliant
on the wide, green pasture and on the
flashing water of the stream. Yolande'e
face soon showed the Influence of the
warm sunlight and of the fresh, keen air;
and her eyes were glad, though they
aeemed busy with other things.
When they reached the end of the val
ley and got on to the road that wound
long the wooded shores of the loch,
there waa much easier going. It was a
pretty loch, this stretch of wtnd-stlrred
blue water, for the hills surrounding
It were somewhat les sterile than thoe
of Allt-nanvba; here ami there the lianka
were fringed with hairl. ami at the tower
end of It were the dark-green plantation
surrounding Lynn- Tower. They bad
driven for about a mile and a half or
ao by the shore of the lake, when Yo
Undo fancied she heard some clanking
noise proceeding from the other side; and
thereupon she Instantly asked Sandy
what that could lie. The young High
land lad "trained his eye In the direction
of the distant hillside; and at last he
aald:
"Oh, yes. I ee them now. They will
be the men taking up more fencing to the
foreat. Duncan wa speaking about that,
madam. If Miss Wlnterbourne would be
looking about half way up the hill
they are by the able ef the gray eorrle
new. I am thinking' that will be the
Master at the top."
"Do you mean the Master of Lynn V
ahe said, quickly. "Well, your eyes are
aharcr than mine, Sandy. I can see
that black speck en the skyline; but that
1 all"
"He I waving a handkerchief now,"
aid Sandy, with nitwit euelno.
"Oh, that la lmplble. How could
lie make us out at this distance"
"The master will know there is no
other carriage thau this use coming
from Allt-nam-ba."
"Very well, lb)." said she. taking nut
her handkerchief ami giving it a little
hake or two In the sunlight. "I will
take the chance; but you know, Sandy.
It U more likely to be one of the keeper
waving hi hand to yon."
When they had crossed the wooden
bridge over the river ami attended a bit
of the hill, they found themselves oppo
alto Lynn Tower a large, modem build
ing, which, with Its numerous conserva
tories, stood on a level ploee of ground
on tho other side of the ravine. As they
drove on and down Into that smiling ami
ahlulng country, tho day grew more ami
more brilliant. Wild tlowera grew more
luxuriantly. Here and there a farm
house appeared with fields of grain en
croaching on the moorland. And at last,
utter sumo miles of this gradual descent.
Yolande arrived at a little sprinkling
of house autllclent In number, though
much scattered among the fields to be
culled n village; and drew up at the small
wooden gate of a modest little mansion,
very prettily situated lu the midst of a
garden of rose.
No sooner had tho carriage stopped
than Instantly tho door was opened by
n smiling and comely dame, with silver
gray hair, and pleasant, shrewd gray
eyes, who came dowu the garden path.
Hho waa neatly and plainly dressed, In
housekeeper-looking kind of costume; but
her face was refined and Intelligent and
tbr waa a ort of motberlln la the
'-
look with which she regarded the young
Hngllsh lady.
"Do you know that 1 meant to scold
you, Mr. Hell, for robbing your garden
agalnr aald Yolande. "lint thl time
n I am not going to scold you; 1 can
only thank jou; for my pupa I coming
to-day. I am going now to meet him nt
the steamer.
"Well, now." aald Mr. Hell, "that I
Juat a ntot extraordinary piece of good
luck; for I happen to have a pair of the
very fineat and plumpest young duck
ling that ever I set eye on"
"No, no; no!" Yolande cried, laugh
ing; "I cannot have any more ecuae
for theae kludncssc and kindnesses, Kv
ery day since I come here every day a
freh excuse nnd always tho boy coming
with Mr. Hell' compliment. Wouldn't
It l simpler for yon to give me the
garden and the houe and everything all
at once? aald inlnndc. "Well, now,
I wlh to see Mr. Melville."
"Ho 1 at hi work." aald the elderly
dame, glancing at a amall building that
Mood at right angle with the houe.
"Do ye think I would disturb him when
he la at hi work? Do you think 1 want
him to send me almoin my biHneT
"There I a tyrant!" exclaimed Yo
lande. "Never mind, then; I wanted to
thank hint for aendlng me the tront. Now
I will not. Well, good-by. Mr. Hell: I
will tako the vegetable, and be very
grateful to you; but not the duckling"
"Ye'll Just take the duckling, a I
ay. like a enlhle young leddy." aald
Mr. Hell, with empha!; "and there la
not to bo another word about It."
So on alio drove again, on thla bright
and beautiful July day, through a pic
turesque and rooky and rugged country,
until In time she reached the end of her
Journey the charming little hotel that
I perched high amid tho wood over
looking Ioch Ne. within sound of the
thundering. Foyer Water. And then, at
last, ahe heard the throbbing of paddle
wheel In the Intense silence; and made
her way down through the bracken and
the bushes, and went right out to the end
of the little pier.
She made him out at once, even at that
distance; for though he wa not a tall
man, his sharp-featured, sun-reddened
face and silver-white hair made him eas
ily recognisable. And of course she was
greatly delighted when he came ashore,
and excited, too; and she herself would
have carried gun case, fishing baskets,
and what not, to the dog cart, had not
the hoot from the hotel Interfered. And
ahe had a hundred eager queatlona and
aaurancea, but would pay no heed to ht
remonstrance about the risk of her driv
ing. "Why, papa, 1 drove every day at In
verstroy!" she exclaimed, as they briskly
set out for Allt-nam-ba.
"I suppose the Grahams were very
kind to your' he said. "And tho Mas
ter, how Is he?"
"Oh, very well, I believe. Of course
I have not seen him since Mrs. Graham
left. Hut he has made all the arrange
ment for yon ponle, panniers, every
thing: and there Is no want of provis
ion, for Mr. Melville sends me plenty of
trout, and Duncan goes up the hilt now
and again for a hare."
"Oh. that will be all right." said he.
good-humoredly. "I want to hear about
yourself, Yolnmle. What do yon think of
Lord Lynn ami his slater, now that you
have aeen something more of them?"
This question cheeked her volubility,
and for second a very odd expression
came over her face.
"They are very serkws people, papa,"
said she, with some caution. "And and
very irfoua, I think."
"And thoc other people the M wom
an who pretends to be a housekeeper
and I a sort of Good Fairy In dlsgulso
and the penniless young laird, who ha
no land "
Instantly her face brightened up.
"Oh, he Is the mot extraordinary per
son, papa a magician! I cannot de-scrlht-
It; you must see for yourself; but
really it l wonderful. He has a stream
to work for him ye fur Mr. Graham
ami I went ami vMted It climbing away
up the bills and there waa the water
wheel at work In the water, ami a hut
close by, ami then were copper wire to
take the electricity away down to the
boose, where he has a store of It. It Is
a genie for him; he make It light the
lamps for him; it works a lathe for turn
ing wood oh, I can't tell you all about
It. And he has been so kind to tne; but
mostly in secret, so that I could not
entrk him to thank him. How could I
know? I eotnptalH to Mr. Hell that It
l a trouble to send to Inverness for
some one to set the clock going; the next
morning It Is all right! It goo; noth
ing wrong at all! Then the broken win
dow In the drawing room: Mr. Graham
ami I drive away to Fort Augustus;
when I come back in the evening there hi
a new pane (Hit In."
"Hut what on earth Is this wonderful
Jaek-of-all-trade doing here? Why, you
yourself wrote to me. Yolande, that he
had taken the Snell Kxblwition ami the
Ferguson Scholarship, am! Idased like a
comet through lUlllol: ami now I Hud
him tinkering at window pane "
"I think he works very hard: he says
he I very laxy. He I very fond of Ash
ing; he Is not well off; nml here he Is
permitted to Ash in the lake far away
among the hill that few people will take
the trouble to go to. Then naturally
he ha much Interest In thla neighbor
hood, where once his people were the
groat family: ami those living there have
great respect for him; and he lias built
a school, ami teaches In It It Is n free
school, no charge at nil." Yolande add
ed, hastily. "That Is Mr. Hell's kind
ness, tho building of the school. Then
lie made experiments and discoveries; is
It not enough of an occupation when
every one Is talking about tho electric
light? Also ha Is a great botanist; and
wheu It Is not school time, ha la away
up In th hills, after rare plants, or to
full. Oh, It Is terrible the lonelloesi of
tha small Ukss In ths hills. Mr. Lull
ha told mo; no road, no track, no life
nuy where. And the lung hour of climb
ing; oh, I mil ante I have been sorry
sometimes many time when day nf
ter day I receive a present of trout and
n meaaage, to think of the lung climbing
iiinl tho labor"
"Hut why doesn't he fish lit the loch
at Allt-nnm-ba?" her father exclaimed,
"Tlmt can't bo an dllllciilt to get at."
"He thought It would be more correct
to wait for j on to give permlaalon."
"Waiting fur peruilaalott to Halt lu n
loch like thatr her father said, more
good-naturedly. "Leslie, told me the loch
would be lullnltely Improved If five
sixth of tho Hah were netted out of It;
the trout would run to n better alio.
However, Mia Yolande, since you've
treated him badly, you must mnko
amend. You mtiat ask him to dinner "
"Oh, yea, pupa; 1 shall be ghtd to do
that," she snld, blithely.
rilAlTKH VIII.
Mr. Wlnterbourne, Yolande and tho
Master were standing outside tho lodge,
looking down the wide glen, which wa
Hooded with sunset light. ) Young Le
lie' eyea were the eye of a deer-stalk-er;
the allghteat uioreiuiMtt anywhere In
stantly attracted them; nnd when two
sheep little dot they were, nt the far
edge of the hill Just above tho lodge
suddenly ceased grailng and lifted
their head, he knew there must be aomo
one there. The next moment a tlgure
appeared on the sky Hue.
"1 suppose that I Jack Melville." lie
said, peevishly. "I wish, he wouldn't
come across the forest when he Is up
at electric boxes."
"Hut doe he do harm?" aald Yolande.
"He cannot shoot deer with copper
wire."
"Oh, he's all over the place." aald the
Maater of I.J-HU. "And there lan't n
keeper or a watcher who will remon
strate with him; ami of course 1 can't,
lle'a always after hi botany, or hH
fishing, or something. The best thing
about It I that he I a capital hand to
have with you If there are aHy atray
deer nbout, and you want to have n shot
without disturbing the herd. He know
their way most wonderfully, and can
tell you the track they are certain to
take."
Meanwhile the object of these remark
was coming down the hillside at a swing
ing pace; and very soon he had crossed
the little bridge, and was coming up the
path heralding hi arrival with a frank
and careless greeting to his friends. He
was a rather tall, lean, large-honed and
powerful looking man of about elght-and-twenty;
somewhat palo In face, seeing
that he lived ao much out of door: hi
hair a raven black, hi eye gray, pene
trating and steadfast; his mouth tlrut,
and yet mobile and expressive at time;
his forehead square rather than lofty;
voice, a chest voice, was heard la pleas
ant and well-modulated Kngllsh.
"Here, Ml Wlnterbourne," said he,
"Is the little vasculum I spoke to you
about; It has seen some service, but It
may do well enough. And here la Hrnt
ley's Manual, and a Flora. The Flora
Is an old one; I brought an old one pur
posely, for at the beginning there U a
synopsis of the Llnnaean system of class
ification, and you will find that the easi
est way of making out the name of a
new plant. Of course," he added, "I
have told Mrs. Hell you are to have ac
cess to my herbarium, whether I am
there or not "
"Oh. yes, that Is so probable!" said
she. "Mrs. Hell allowing me to go into
your study!"
"Mrs. Hell and I understand each other
very well, I assure you." he said, grave
ly. "We are only two augurs, who wink
at each other; or rather we shut our eye
to each other's humbug"
"Why, Jack, she means to buy back
Mongslen for you!" the Msstrr of Lynn
exclaimed.
"I know she ha some romantic scheme
ef that sort In her head," he said, frank
ly. "It is quite absurd. What should
I do with Monaglen? However, In the
meantime, I have made pretty free use of
the old lady's money at Gress, and she I
highly pleased, for she was fond ef ray
father's family, ami she likes to hear me
spoken well of, and you ran easily pur
chase gratitude especially with some
body else's money. You see It work
well all round. Mr. Hell, who Is an
honest, shrewd, good, kindly woman, sees
that her charity Is administered with
some care; the people a round hut espe
cially the children are benefited; I have
leisure for any little experiment and
ray Idle rambles; ami if Mr. Hell and
I hoodwink each other, It I done very
openly, and there I no great harm."
