CHAPTER II. THE MAX ON THE
MUIR.
Indeed, It Is no rhame to a man to
have fear In his nature. It Is. I well
believe, born In a man's blood; and he
hath no more to do with It than with
who was his father. Yet mark the
frreat erylnp; that there has been In nil
aires about brave men and valiant nu n,
and men that have never known fear.
Yet whit credit Is there In such like?
They cannot help It more than I can
help havlnfr an eye that had a cast In It
(If such like I had), or red hair, or nosi
turned up at the end like that of a wild
Eirlonach. Yet auch men come to
honor, and their wins Inherit it. For I
this also is the folly of the times.
We rode out of Edinburgh, passinK
the Kates without question, for Sir
James was a man In pood odor with the
government. We had a bitter winter's
day for our Journeying, and we had
trouble ennURh to keep warm; yet
with wrappings of forelsn fur and a
flask of French brandy we managed to
ghut out the cold. Also our hearts
were somewhat cheered and our con
Terse crew more heartsome.
Thus making merry, to the extent
even of singing a catch or two which
Sir James had learned In the old wars,
and which I heard for the first time,
though not wholly with approval, yet
with tolerance, we came to a place
'called Cockmulr, a wild and solitary
place, shut In between hills that have
no living thins upon them. No heart
Some reek of habited house was to be
Been. The place was in the midst of
a great wilderness, and It needed the
crowing of the black cock and the
jilcher of the grouse' to make the silence
endurable. But even these were want
ing that fcltter day of gray skies and
gripping frost.
Just as we had gotten fairly to the
midst of the moor there rose up before
tis a man, or, rather, ns K might be,
we came suddenly upon him. He, was
standing stock still, as If he had been
meditating, looking away toward the
hills of Lamiriermuir.' . Hut at the first
sound of our horses' feet overtopping
the brae, he turned and showed u.i the
pallid countenance of a young lad, lilt
ten blue with the winter winds, and with
his black clothes hanging about him as
though Ills limbs had been bo many
barren tree-branohes. I knew him at a
first glnnce. It was James Renwlck,
of Mlnnyhive, whose mother was some
kin to mine, being also on the estate of
Drumlanrig, where the Douglass Is the
father of us all. .
It so happened, by mischance, that Sir
James was putting back his flask of
strong watere Into the breast of his coat
at the moment, when Mr. Renwlck
Iturned him about. I wished that It had
ur hpen nn hut. nverthMeHfl. I eava
h!in greeting, for he ha.1 been a child
when I was a youn? lad, and our folk
wore, as I hava said, some manner of
kin.
Then T ankfd him how he did and
that In 3 plessant way. Hut he stood
lowcrins Pt me with ryes m sunken and
such a lr.st countenance that I wished
we Mil rnme some other way.
"F ar not, James," I Mid, "for this Is
Sir Jam's Siandsdcld, of New Milns, a
good man; and one that, though a
nintilstiate, Is no Ill-wlFther to the folk
of the hill "
"Ah, John Bell," raid young Ren
wlck, at larC. hooding my kindly speech
no ninre thin the tune of a bird whls
tllnp, "!;; th-t Indeed you? Your friends
for whim you Irft us have clad and
comforted you well! There are no fine
forelsn er.ats nn the mulrs, and the
hag3 (Until not the brew of French
brandy, noubtloss ye have made a fine
oxrhanjre. and the wide throat that
to',k the Tefi at a gulp will Boon swal
low a fat benefice. Rut there are other
spirits abroad that jbu will yet hav
to reokon with."
' .lames. " I tiald, peaceably, "not thus
was your father wont to speak of me,
when I tlrave home the kye In the even'
from the braes at the town-end of Mln
nyhive." "No," said he, "that may be; but
since then the kye have been In many
a man's corn beside my father's, honest
mrtn!"
And I knew that he meant to cast up
to me that I had Joined the persecuting
pi-rty. For the ordinary cry among the
hlllfolk, by which they passed on the
word of warning' the one to the other

Matthews Bros., Scranton,

"The kye's In the corn!"
"Ye prate of honest men," said Sir
James, speaking to Mr. Renwlck for
the first time; "but take notice that
there are other honest men In the realm
that are no .rebels, but bide quietly at
home, wishing 111 to none, and who
grudge, forbye, an orra sheep no more
to a hill body than a can of ale to a red
soldier."
James Renwlck bent his eyes on Sir
James, .and for a moment looked
through him.
"Pulr man," he said, gently, "poor
man! I rede ye turn about your brldle
reln and ride back the way ye came, or
the bed that ye. shall He on shall be
darker than the mirk of the night that
comes fast upon us, and colder than the
linen shet that Janet Johnson has
spread for ye at the Wauk-Miln."
"Man!" cried Sir James, fiercely,
shaking his brldle-relns at the field
preacher, "what ken ye of Janet John
stone? And why speak ye the name of
my ?on's concubine, that Is to me as
the name of the enemy of mankind!
That evil woman has not crossed the
step of imy door for years na, nor shall
na while I live!"
So cried Sir James at his voice's
pitch.
' James Renwlck shook his head
wearily.
"The message Is not of me nor from
me," he said. "I speak as I am bidden.
Your llght-o'-loves I reck nought of.
But I wish you well; and I warn you
from riding further, for the powers of
darkness are abroad this night and It
Is their hour. Turn your horses about,
and never draw rein till ye are safe
wlthls the walls of Edinburgh."
"Ye speak as a foolish person," said
Sir James, severely; "this night I bide
In mine own house and sleep In mine
own chamber, with this honest man and
law-abiding minister of the gospel to
keep me company."
And with that he rode off and I rode
aft him. Yet often and after I looked
back, and (here In the fading light of
that bleaky and jinklndly afternoon, I
saw the fanatic preacher stand as wo
had left him, gazing loneiomely up at
the hills as though he looked and saw a
vision upon them.
Sir Jame Standsfleld rode bravely
away, as set on his own intent as a man
that has taken the bit of his fate be
tween his teeth and rides whither he
will, against his better knowledge.
"The ranting and fanatical knave,"
he said, over his shoulder, "to speak to
me of warnings and concubines. I will
e'en apprehend him and have him sent
to the scaffold."
Of which I knewwell he had no small
est Intention.
But as we nearer home and the night
settled about us, methought that Sir
James Standsfleld rode not so hastily
nor looked so eagerly for the lights of
his house.
Ever he found some' new excuse to
loiter, and showed me his own various
Improvements,'. together with the weav
ing mill and the wauk mill, which he
said had been Set up by one Spurway,
a good enough man from Yorkshire,
but very new-fangled and concelty in
his own opinions. "
Then we came to a little thatch house
that had a lamp shining In the window.
"Ah," said Sir James, "let us light off
here and have a draught for our even
ing ordinary. This Is James Marr's, a
very decent man and keeps good ale."
Yet I wondered that he should ' go
buying of ae, well nigh within call of
hU nwtt great and well-furnished house.
But I could see that the man was ill at
ease and like one that strives to put off
an evil day.
Nevertheless we lighted down at the
change-house and tied our horses to the
ring of the door post. When we had
seated ourselves, Sir James called for
ale, and was exceedingly merry, but
alW
"Ha, I'mphray Spiirwny."
not (as I though) In the wisest way, tap
ing that he was so close to his own door,
and his wife certain to hear of it on the
morning.
Then he cried for the elder mnld of
the two that were James Marr's daugh
ters, and declared that he would find a
match for her, swearing that she was
too well-looking to be golnf about
breeding quarrels and making Ill-blood
amwiK the lJads.
Whereupon came In a great red
bearded man, full of pomp and Im
portance, with as much shortness of
breath as port of presence.
"Ha, Umphray Spurway," cried Sir
James, as soon as he saw him, "here Is
matter for thee. What tntsns It that
this bonny lass, Elpple Mnrr, goes about
at the door unwed, and ' thou, great
English lout,' have neither wife to keep
thee warm o' nights, nor wean to hnlr
thy goods and go clad In cloth of thy
weaving. Go to, man. Bee to It." ,
The great red Englishman laughed
and sat down well content, as all men
do when they are Jested upon "concern
ing women,
"Ah, Sir Jame," he replied, "hnd I
an estate of farms and mills I had not
so Jon have eaton the bread of an
other's bilking. Elsplo Is a bonny lnsi,
and on honest, but would never
hnve aught to eay to an ancient gray
board of an Englishman."
"Never yet did I got the chnnco to
say yea or nny, Umphray Spurwny.
Hut ' 'tis better late than never,' "
said tho lass Elsple, speaking from the
doorway where Hlr James hnd stayed
her. She was a brisk lass, with no 111
In her that ever I saw.
"Well, llrten here, Elsple," cried the'
Englishman, dafllng with her, "tell us
all whether you will have me, or my
man Henry Bowman thnt Is a limber
lad and likely of his face?"
"For a married man or for a lad to
court7" asked the lass, looking from
one to the other.
"For a married man, of course," said
Blr James, before the Englishman had
time to spook.
"Then I choose Umphray Spurway,
the Englishman," -said she. "Bonny
faces make bare downslttlngs." .
"A wise lass," said Hlr James; "ye
could na do better, Umphray."
Hut even on 'he spoke I aw hfs Jaw
drop and he stured at the door at which
appewred the face of the young man
who had pursued -us the day on tho
mtiir of Ivowther. Sir James rose to his
feet and sett his hnnd to his sword.
The fare of the young man was flushed
with wralih or wine.' I know not which
"Come In hither. Janet," he cried to
some one without; "her b a gallant
company at the drink. Ye will nee the
whole pack together' thait have dis
inherited me 'the canting priest, the
lying Englisher, and the old hound him
self. The devil rrve them all May
their cups choke them!"
And with these wicked words rhlllp
Ptan;illL'Id strode upon the stone pave
ment of the Inn. He was a tall young
man, but with a face surfeited with
passion and blotched with evil living.
Behind him, with a fleering laugh, there
entered a young slantern of a woman,
buxom of feature Indeed, but with no
good ur housewifely look In her eyes.
"Koe, there they stand, Janet," cried
ho, "and for a groat I would send them
nil to hell, and swing for them In the
Grass Mercat."
"Philip," said Sir James, gripping
the table to steady himself, for all his
mirth had gone from him and left him
gray to the Hps, "Philip, my lad, I
have come to forgive you, and to see
gin ye will lead a new life. Pinna
dlnnu begin by breaking my heart.
Rond away that woman, thnt has made
ye live like a boast. Think on your
wife that greets for you by her lone "
What more he would have said I
know not, but the woman broke out
furiously upon him, asking who he was
that he should take her good name,
saying that she was an honest man's
wife and much else.
"Said ye 'an honest man's honest
wife?' " said Sir James: And he looked
very direct at her as he spoke.
The woman turned away as If she
could not bear the question and the
pyes of all that wore In the house. She
made as though she would go to the
fireside by which sat James Marrs'
wife with her daughter Elsple standing
beside her. Hut they gathered the
skirts of tholr klntles about them nnd
swept off Into nn Inner room. So the
woman fains back shame-fucedly to
the i1de of her paramour, who stood
browbeating ns nil, save the English
man, who f Ippod contentedly at his ale
and smiling In a way that was a vast
admiration to me to behold.
It was not, perhaps, the wisest time
to give a man advice, but nevertheless,
because I knew not whether Indeed I
should see him ugain, I rose from my
"The Devil Tnko Him and You Doth!"
place and exhorted him to reipont and
put away his sin; for that his father
was ready to forgive him and receive
him again, as In the days before his
first going from home.
"Out upon you, canting hound!" he
orled, breaking In on me; "I tell you
plainly, gin I had as muckle as sixpence
In the day, I would never trouble my
father more."
"Come to dinner and worship tonight,
and we shall see If we cannot make a
new thing of It, your father and you
and I. We have come from Edinburgh
for that purpose."'
But the more mention that was made
of his father's kindliness, tho fiercer
was the eon against him, which mado
his sin like the sin against the Holy
Ghost, as I have so often expounded.
"The devil take him and you both,"
ho cried. "Thlnke ye I would go to his
table to have him grin at me like a
sheep's head In a tongs. Ye dog with
band-strings, what are ye concerned In
the matter? Do yn understand to
whom ye speak?"
Then Umphray Spurway whipped a
pair of pistols out of his pocket, and
laid them bended on the table.
"There has been enough and to spare
of 111 talk," he said; "get out of this
house without another uncivil word,
Philip Standsflokl, or I will make a hole
la you, you debauched man and blas
phemer of your father. And you, Janet
Johnston, shall be whipped at the cart
tail from here to Morham aye, If I
have to lay on the lashes myself!"
So, snarling and counter-snarling,
with changed countenances, more like
Pilose of boast than, human kind, Philip
Standsfleld and the wench went out
.vowing vengeance upon us all. Then
there comes Into my tale that night of
great fear, which grips me yet in the
telling of it. It was a bitter night of
frost at the changing of tho moon. A
horror of great darkness fell upon the
earth. Yet there was also, what Is not
so common on a night of cold, a sough
ing and wandering wind that whispered
by whiles, going nnd coming uncertain
ly among the stopped gables of the
house of Now Milns.
