—The Sunday iftegaiisre.
The Last Elm of the-Avenue.
A. pitch-dark night, rain falling in
'torrents, wind blowing gustily from
every point of the compass at once.
Two or three oil lamps tlickerbd fee
ble in the gloom on a struggling
y 1,'79:'
crowd of damp passengers, .a chaotic
Mass of luggage; and—no porters.
Such were my earliest impressions
on being turned out of the London
dciwn train at Westwood, the station
for Cinqhaven, whither I and some
half dozen•other officers were bound /
to complete our education by a course
of musketry , instruction.
'Where's einqhaven ?' was my first
very natural inquiry. 'And how am
I to get there ?'
'Cinqhaven was 'across there,' a
civil official replied, pointing overran
expaiisc of ploughed field in the-di
rection of the South Pole. The one
omnibus had, it appeared, departed
with a small selection from the impa
tient crowd of belated travellers; but
would be back again directly.
cnovll-75
'How soon ?' lasked
4Well, in about an hour or so.'
I thanked him. committed my be
ongings to his care, and with a ben
diction on my luck and the colonel
who had sent me there, plunged into
the night.
Outside.the station I found an offi
cer with his party, a sergeant and
some privates, about to march to
Cirulhaven, and gladly joined them.
I ft l ook for granted someone knew
the way. I didn't. Such a 'night I
gain pelting us viciously, wind blow
ing our fragmentary attempts at con
versation away into space. Finally,
at a point where five roads met, and
L.ELssults
the wind and rain did their wicked
est, we halted. Fire and candle-light
streamed invitingly out of the un-
shuttered windoir of a low white
house; a sign creaked over our heads
in the darkness, and, after brief de-
bate, in we all turned to the coy
kitchen of the Green-Lion..
We were not unwilling to aecept
the landlady's assurances that the
storm would 'blow itself out' in half
an hour or less. - She invited us into
her own snug parlor, and here, for
the fi rst Lime, I got a good lo okat
my companion.
He was a tall, handsome fellow,
with dark complexion and curiously
light, eager eyes; by, name, 1 discov
ered, Captain Angus MacLeish, of
the 34th (Royal Cromarty) High
-Ipiders. (Here I may introduce my
self to my readers : Lieutenant Jones,
Royal North Wales Militia). Cap
tain MacLeish was rather stiff and
high and mighty at.first, I thought—
very much the Iliglland' chieftain.
'Caolehairn,' or some snch pretty
name, was, I found, his correct desig
natiOn. I Still, I let him see that I
considered a Jones of Prybwllych
the equal of any man in her Majes
ty's service,and we gradually warmed
into sociability over the landlady's
blazing fire, and such refreshment as
the Green Lion afforded.
The landlady's prediction was ver
ified in less than the tithe mentioned.
The . storm blew over, - the clouds
parted, and a clear white moon shone
out.
Half an hour's quick walking
brought us to the top of th e hill, un
der which lay the little town of Cinq
haven. Its red roofti looked pretty
)
!and picturesque in the moonlight be
yond, and to westward the sea and
the' marshes stretched away gray
and , '.raysterious ; below us a row of
lighted windows showed where the
barracks stood. -
'That's a welcome sight,' said
Mac-
Leish.._
,
'Were you ever here before P I
asked. 1 . .
'Never. I only heard of the place
last Week—ah l' he stopped short.
I _looked round in amazement:.- He
wasstanding upright and rigid, his
eyes fixed on some point in the road
before us, his forefinger extended.
'Why, what's the matter ?' I asked,
looking down the road—white and
lonely—and. seeing only a milestone
- standing out distinctly from the dark
hedge. -
' here I' His eyes dilated with a
fixe stare of horror, his breath came
shot and quick, and at last, with a
sharp .cry, he swayed forward and
fell insensible on the path. I thought
he tried to say something, but failed
to understand him. The soldiers had
halted, and two came rushing up vo
ciferating wildly in some unknown
tongue. They knelt beside him and
_raised him, all stark and -white, in
- the moonshine. I gave . a few direc
tions, to - which they vouchsafed not
the smallest attention ; but somehow
they contrived to support him be
-1 tween them, and we proceeded-to the
barracks ; no- great distance, fortu
nately.. •
I questioned the sergeant, who had
looked' on meanwhile with undis
turbed composure. He declined to
commit himself to , any opinion what
ever: The privates were 'Caolchai rn's'
own people, puir ignorant Hieland
bodies, who could hardly speak-En
glish. Could he understand Mac ?
Weel, a word, or maybe twa. What
had , Captain MacLeish said as he
fell.? It sounded like 'into my grave,'
but ho culdna be positee.ve. And here
Sergeant Tullock's comnivaleationa
came to an abrupt stop, and I , could
only extract, in addition, that the
Highlanders knew best what-WO

ly desperately shy—the result of
home-breeding. He gave me - a de•
scription of his Highland bomb one
day, with its mountain and moor,.
loch and forest, where the MseLeisha
lived in feudal state, naught apper.
taining to the true dignity of a real
Highland chiefiain being lacking,
from the pipers to the deadly feud.
The MacLeishs of Caolchairn,land
the MacLeishs of Tuchoran had
killed, ,burned, betrayed, massacred
and generally made themselves mu
tually unpleasant from time itnme-
morial. The two branches of this
family sprang from twin brothers,
and, according to tradition, were to
carry on the same bloodthirsty rela
tions till they became simultaneously
extinct.
'And may I ask how you - and the
reprei3entative of the other line con
duct•youtselves when -you happen to
*meek in society nowadays?' I inquir
ed. MacLeish laughed.
'Wit don't meet. Tueboraa was
sold •generations ago and the
Leish of that date died abroad. We
have often tried to trace out his de-
scendants, but with only partial suc 7
cess. Perhaps it's as well,' he con.
tinned with an embarrassed laugh,
'for they say that though we don't
slay and plunder nowadays, the—the
curse is on us ;set. When one of
each line shall meet, there follows
calamity:.
I looked as profoundly impressed
as he could desire.
'Ten years ago a clergyman in the
South--ohaplain to a hospital—wrote
to --my fitther to say his cousin, Fer
gus MacLeifih,, lay dying—mortally
wounded in soine discreditable brawl.
My fattier, good man, started at
once. He was in time to - see the
dying man and to promise to befriend
his only son—a boy of about four
teen.- Fergus MacLeish died with
his hand clabped in my father's. It
was their first and last meeting.'
'Well I No harm, came of it, I sup.
pose.'
My father never saw his home
again. He was killed in the great
railway accident on the Great North-
12219
'What became of the boy?' I asked
presently. -
'Young Fergus ? He was an utter
good-for-nothing. My mother gave
the - chaplain earieblanehe, and he did
hia utmost to reclaim him. It was
no. use.. He wasin and out of prison
half :a dozen times, and-at last we
shipped him off to the Colonies—but
I'm almost sure I met him last year
at, the Derby.'
•.
"Haw did you I.now him ?'
"By his likeness to myielf. It's
curiously , strong. Also by another
mark—a cut 'on one eyelid.'—that
gives bim-a most sinister look. The
chaplain mentioned it to me.' ,
Mid anything happen ?' I could
not resist asking. MaeLeish's face
grew dark.
'Don't ask me—enough to ruin my
life, and mak& it little worth having
from henceforward. Hullo 1 it's seven
o'clock. Do you dine at mess to
night ?' and he left me to dress.
Still I got no nearer to any expla
nation of the occurrence on the fret
night of one Meeting. He alirays
avoided the Westwood . . road, T not
ticed, audi another peculiar fact
which , struck 'me was . the way - in
which his servant Alistor—b is foster- ,
brother - he - told me—kept . us -con
stantly in sight. It was 88 if , he ex
pected tne to do his :mister a mis
chief. Wherever we , went' Alistor's
red head 'and'-fogy eyes appeared at
nnexpectett moments. One day Mae-
Lash came into "my'room in great
distress.. An accident had happened
in the town—a , scaffold had fallen,
and Alistor, who , was passing at the
moment, had been knocked down and
injnred-,sotlie ironwork struck
his head, and .it was feared had"de
stroyed the'sight one' eye. '• '
ti 'He must go up town as soon as ;
he can travel. Evejything that the
best man , there can do for him shall
be done. I'll trust him to no one
I here. My poor Alistorr
I was able to assist in - *flaking. ar
rangements for his stay in town, and
both master and man were inordi
nately grateful. ,
I went with MaeLeish to see him
off. at Westwood. - There hid. been!
an agonizing scene when he heard
that the oculist would require him
to be at least a month under treat
ment. He refused to. go—wept,.ex
postulated, implored MacLeish On
his knees not to, send , him away—at,
least, so I guessed, for the conversa- I
tion was carried on in Gaelic. Mae
, Leish proniised to go up and see
see him every week—argued, coaxed,
jested, nd at last ordered him stern
ly to be l'silent,i and obey, - and the
poor fellow submitted. Tears were
in his one visible eye when we said
good-by at the station,and he potqed
out what seemed to be a flood of Mt
passioned warning. MacLeish an
swered good-humoredly, saying in
English, 'You will find me safe
enough, you foolish fellow. Don't
you think Mr.,Jones here can-.-take
as good care of me as you?' Mister
turned suddenly upoit me, scanning
my face with his sharp eye.
'Are 'yen in. truth his faithful
friend?'
was too amazed kvreply.
'Let all 'wi; 'wish well to Cant
cbaim stand by bird now, for his
dark hour id at hand !' -
MacLeish hurried him into the
train, and I - Hair no more of him, - ,
We,' walked back together Amin
the memorable-Westwood road,
''Cau,',you guess what, be means? ,
asked-MaeLeishi after long
_silence:
'Tot in the lesit; l I replied.

Manifestations of Fear.
It is said that the Emperor Charl
es the Fifth, reading .an epatipb,
"Here lies one whb never knew fear,"
remarked "Then ho never,, singed : a
candle with his iln.,,fiers." It is cer
tainly a, somewhat absurd,.though - a
favorite claim 'lb:. a popular • hero,
that he never - .knew - • fear.. No
one possessing human nerves. and
brain could say this with truth,
That a brave man never yields to the
emotion may be true enough ; hut
that at no period of his life he ex
perienced fear is simply impossible.
As Lord Lytton expresses it.:
"It fibmnes man not to .fool. man's mortal fear
It shames man only If that fear subdue."
There is a story of a young recruit
in: the Thirty Years' Mar giving into
action for the first time in his.life: in
the highest spirits. "Look at Joh,
ann," remarked oneof his comrades,
as the troops were drawn up ready
to charge, "he is full of jokes; hew
brave heis."- "Not at all replied
the veteran addressed ; "he knows
nothing of what is coming. You
and I, old comrade are far braver ;
we sit still on our horses though we
are terribly afraid."'
Fear is certainly one of the most
ii rational of the passions.. It is not
always excited. by; the . presence of
danger. Men who can be
.. cool and
collected in cases of real '.peril, will
tremble at some fanciful alarm. — The
Duke of Schomberg could face an
enemy with ready courage, but fled
from a room if he saw a cat in it.
"A very brave French officer fainted
at the sight of a mouse. The anthor
of the "Turkish Spy" states that if
lie had a sword in his hand he would
rather encounter a lion in the desert
than be alone in a room with a spy-.
dcr. Many people have similar fan
ciful antipathies, which excite their
feays in a manner which real danger
would be powerless to do. ! Fear of
'infection is a fear that embitters the
lives of many sensible people. There
is a legend 'of an Eastern dervish,
who, knowing .that‘ the Plague was
about to visit a certain city, bar
gained that only a specified number
of victims should fall.- When twice
the number-perished, the Plague ex
plained its apparent breach of con
tract by asserting "Fear killed the
rest." In all
_.times :Of epidemics
doctors can tell similar tales. Dur-
ing the great Plague of 1665.6, an
unfortunate man died purely from
fright ; a practical joker who met
him in the street pretended to dis
cover the fatal "spots" upon him,
and the poor man man went home
and died, not of the disease, but of
sheer terror. A long obituary list
might be compiled of the victims of
fear; from the criminal in the Mid
dle Ages: who reprieved after he
had laid his head on the block, was
found to have died ere the as could
touch him ; down to the poor nun
mentioned by, Horace Walpole,
whose disreputable abbess litterally
"frightened her to death" by visiting
her at night an telling her that she
was dying.---London Daily News.
