uncongenial south.
lie was entirely unattended, ns it was
his pleasure to bp In a mood such as
lie jj-iih In at the time. When the train
reached the liallater terminal he sprang
riut upon the platform with his bag in
his hand and his rug on his arm; and
refusing nil offers of assistance and
snapping out that he had no 'luggage."
he strode through the little station and
iilong the road towards Crulgcndar
rnch. the "hill of the oaks." which
dominates the highland village.
Leaving the hill on his right, a want
of about a mile along a gradually as
cending wood, brought Kir Alexander
to the foot of a hill which he proceed
ed to Hlinli. About half way up on a
small rugged plateau covere.i with
heather and short, rough grass, he
came to a rmle dwelling which had evi
dently licen a couple of laborers's cot
tages, but which nad been transformed
by liliii Into a useful shelter or halting
place, for the journeys of himself and
his household to and from Kechleen
lodge, which was seven miles from a
railway station and conseiiuently "off
the map.''
The cottage was kept In order by an
old servant of the family, who had been
known so long as "Jock" that he had
almost forgotten any other name. He
had been head gamekeeper In his time,
and a General nuisance by reason of
the liberties he took. So that when fail
ing eyesight compelled him to give up
"Sir Alexander frowned.
i
his post, and hp and his old wife set
tled, by their own choice, In a hut ad
joining the cottage among the hills, no
body regretted him but Sir Alexander,
who found something piquant in the
utterances of the old tongue that dared
to contradict him.
And he often snent an hour with the
crabbed old fellow, going out of ..is
way, when shooting on the moors, to
rest with his gun on a wooden chair
beside the sni'dedriug, tragraut jieet
fire.
It was months since he had Peen
there Inst, and when Sir Alexander, wet
through to the skin with the Scotch
ndst which was enshrouding all the
hills, from I,och-na-gar on the one
Hide to Culbleen on the other, knocked
sharply at the loc ked door ot tne hut,
It was opened by Jock with an air or
tUgnitied astonishment.
"I dldna think to see ye hereabouts
for some time, sir," said he, morosely,
as he took hjs master's bag and rug
und made way for him to enter.
Sir Alexander frowned as he pulled
off his gloves, and nodding to Mrs.
'Jock," who was deaf, and who curt
reyed and said nothing after her wont,
took his accustomed seat by the peet
.lire which hardly threw out enough
light or warmth to raise a man's spirits
tin this cheerless evening.
"Ye're on your way to the hoose.
ylr?" inquired Jock, after a minute's
silence, during which' he eyed Sir Al
exander with cold dignity.
"Yes. but I Ihlnk 1 shall stay nt the
cottage tonight. I'm not In the mood

"Oh, aye, as near ready as -may be,"
replied Joc-k, discontentedly. "Auid
Fan or myself will ha' to go down to
the village to get something to eat"
"No, no; I'll lake my share of what
you've got for yourselves. I'm not In
the mood for eating," Interrupted his
master.
Jock looked at him narrowly, with a
suspicious eye, and Sir Alexander
glanc ed up.
"I'm In the blues, Jock."
"o I see, sir."
"Confound it, man, don't treat nie
lllce that, as If your eyes would drop
out of your head:" cried his master,
noting suddenly the fixity of the' gaze
which the old keeper had fastened upon
him. "It's not a matter of life or death.
Hut but I've lost the first prize nt
the cattle show for my short horns
had it carried off under my very nose
by n miserable Southern who Ah,
well, If it had been a fair reward I
shouldn't have minded. I '.ut mine were
the best. Kvoryliody cm the ground
who knew n cow from n custard cup
said so. It was unfair, absolutely un
fair." And Sir Alexander, whose short
horns were to him as the lircath of his
nostrils, and who prided himself on
being the most successful breeder In
the kingdom, got up from his chnlr
and began to pace up und down the
stone-tlaggeil floor.
"Short-horns!" ejaculated Jock, with
an odd In licet Ion: ami then after a
pause he said again, In a ruminating
lone: "Slioit-horns! 'oh aye!"
' "What's tin- matter w ith you?" asked
Sir Alexander, irritably, noticing a pe
culiarity In the old man's tone.
"Xuething, imethlng, sir." nnswered
the old fellow, dryly. "I was thinking
yer trouble wus maybe about a differ
ent sort o' cattle, that's a', sir."
And before his master ronlcl ask him
another question Jock had disappeared
through the back door of the hut on
his way to the cottage.
Sir Alexander was half inclined to go
after him and Insist upon an explana
tion of Ids mysterious words and man
ner. Jiut. rellccting that It was only
some whim of Jock's, lie c hanged his
mind und gave himself up again to the
wrathful meditations which had occu
pied him ever since the Judges' decision
at the show.
He had been wounded in the most
perhaps the only vulnprabl1 part.
Kor his short-horns he neglected so
ciety, his duties as a landlord, his
duties as a husband. Throe years be
fore he had married a young beauty,
temporarily fascinated by a freshness
and charm which did not, in the mug
run, outweigh the solid attractions of
his prize cattle.
Sir Alexander now left Lady Aueh
lean chlelly to her own devices, and
never doubted that, ill providing her
with a house In Jioverstrec-t and a man
sion in the highlands, ns well as a hand
some allowance of pocket money, ne
had done as much for her as a woman
had a right to exnect.
And It was safe to say tlint no one In
the whole world was further from his
thoughts than Ills wife was when lock
came to tell him that tne cottage was
rcudy, and the baronet, beginning to
feed rather tired and stiff after the
journey and the excitement of the day,
entered the long, narrow room which
had been made by throwing the living
rooms of the two cottages into one,
and threw himself on the chintz-covered
couch in a little way from the lire.
You came straight into this room from
the open air, without any sort of pas
sage or anteroom; so a screen had been
placed around the door to keep the
draft out. The sofa on which Sir Alex
ander lay was between this screen and
the tire, right under the latticed win
dow, the curtains of which were not
drawn.
"Don't light up yet, my eyes ache,"
cried he, as Jock was preparing to light
a couple of candles.
"Vara weel, sir."
Jock was less cantankerous, but
more taciturn than usual that evening,
his master thought, as he watched htm
out and then overcome by the drowsi
ness induced by fatigue and comfort
and warmth, ho closed his eyes and fell
Into a sort of doze.
He was presently aroused by the
sharp click of the latch ns It was hur
riedly raised, and, opening his eyes
with a start, he Jumped up just as u
woman's voice whispered ut the other
side of the wreen, this one word:
"Harry!"
Anil he recognized the voice as that
of his wife.
Startling, absolutely unexpected as
this incident Was. Sir Alexander real
ized In n hioment what it meant, and
even knew who the person was she be
lieved she was addressing.
A certain handsome, but impecunious
younfc' soldier, Captain Teriterden, to
whom sh had scarcely been allowed
to Fpeak in her maiden days, had be
come since her mairluire. the tame cat
of the household, despised by the hus
band as a mere trltler. and ntmarently
looked upon by the wife only ns a run
ner of errands, and liller-up of gaps at
the dinner-table.
In an Instant the truth Hashed upon
Sir Alexander, and at the same mo
ment, or only a little latij;. the signi
ficance of Jock's enigmatic looks and
words burst upon hlni.
t!apt. Tenterden was his wife's lover,
this was the guilty meeting-place.
Kven in the first moment of the un
sptakable horror, perhaps petrified by
the awful discovery, the baronet had
the presence of mind to remain quite
still., quite HllenJ. Then, as Lady
Auchlean pushed forward one leaf of
the screen, and came slowly, timidly
forward In the darkness, lie stepped
round the head of the couch, and
slipped behind the screen at one end,
as she came round It at the other.
And as she had left the floor open,
he was able to get out without noise
Into the open air.
Dusk was come, and the mist was
tHlcker than ever. Sir Alexander shiv
ered, and staggered against the cottage
wall.
Why should he slunk out? 'Why had
he not confronted her'.' Accused, con
founded her? He did not himself
know, he did not understand why he
shrank from coming face to face with
this woman, his wife, whom he had
yes, trusted, and who had dls
d him In secret, In spite of his
He only knew that an insur
able repugnance to meeting her,
r
1
to looking tinon her face in the new,
Prili'" cireurr.itarice, had gripped
him and held him like a vise.
.-ul lie struggled with himself, pulled
himself together, and rushed At the
door of the hut, which he pushed quick
ly open. Jock seemed to have been
waiting for him. He stared at his mau
ler. Hy a great effort Sir Alexander,
while he could not dissemble Che pal
lor of his face, managed to tontrol his
voice.
"Lady Auchlean has come Is Inside
the cottage," he said In a perfectly dry,
calm manner. "Tell her I am here,
und will see her as soon as I have made
myself presentable."
"Yes, sir," said Jock: and he disap
peared like a mechanical doll, leaving
his master in dnabt whether he ought
not to have down at the man's throat.
For he knew something must know
something hud connived, perhaps
Sir Alexander, as the thought seized
and goaded him. dashed out of the hut
and presented himself inside of the cot
tage so quickly that Jock had only just
time to give his message, and Lady
Auchlean was still suffering from the
paroxysy of terror Into which It had
thrown her.
Her husband, appearing suddenly be
fore her. was struck by her appearance,
by her startlinir beauty, as If she had
been a rtranger. She had lit the- can
dles, two on the I able and two on the
high, narrow shelf over the fireplace,
and In the flickering light the dia
monds in her ears sparkled, and her
blue eyes shone; and her fair hair, dis-
illi
Her husband wa-s struck by her 'i
ohpe'rtwce . j
to ask Mrs. Jock to make me a cup of
tea. Hut I don't think I'll wait for that
now, It's grown so durk." she added,
putting on her hat quickly and then
coming rapidly round to the door.
"Aren't you coming with me?" and she
looked at him with a smile which at any
other time he would have thought win
ning. "It Isn't very often, you know,
that I get my husband for an escort."
Sir Alexander was taken aback. Did
she mean to reproach him? or was this
merely Impudence, tho effrontery of a
brazen woman?
He stammered as he tried to answer.
He was bewildered, did not know what
to say. But he stood between her and
the door, and did not move for her to
pass out. The thought which was In
his mind, struggling with certain new
impressions of his wife, which, in these
strange circumstances he was receiv
ing, was that he must keep her here un
til her lover came.
So he shook his head, and directed her
with a decisive gesture, to bit down.
"We will carry out your first plan,"
said he, shortly. "You shall havetea
here with me."
(To be concluded.)
INDUSTRIAL.
ordered by the wind, made a sort of
hazy cloud about her head anil face.
She had taken off her hat, which she
held In her hands, and had loosened the
tweed jacket she was wearing.
And Sir Alexander, looking ut ids
wife with new und startled eyes, re
alized for the first time that, though
there Is ninny a wife In the world who
may he neglected, his wife was not the
sort of woman to be neglected long.
The question was. how fur had she
gone?
Not jealous of his wife's love, but
of his own honor, he trembled for the
answer to this question. How many
meetings had there been In this lonely
cottage among the hills? One or two,
perhaps perhaps a dozen. He must
control himself, and presently he would
know all. The lover would come, and
then the truth would be out, and the
guilty pair would be at his mercy.
And then for the divorce court, Auch
lean vs. Auchlean. Sir Alexander, In
a sort of walking nightmare, saw It
all before him scandal, worry, dis- I
grace.
Meanwhile, the hesitating manner in
which he stood, his silence, his inquir
ing face, put ideas Into her subtle
feminine brain.
"Why. Alexander, surely It Isn't you?
Really you? I feel as If it must be
your ghost! I thought you were in
Buckinghamshire?"
She laughed, perhaps rather hysteri
cally, and came round the table, close
to him. He did not offer to touch her.
though she smiled Invitingly up in his
face. Jock, with his eyes In front ot
him, had taken himself off dumbly.
"I was In Buckinghamshire this
morning." answered Sir Alexander,
stltlly. "Hut I've come back, as you
see. And what what are you doing
here?"
He tried to speak unsuspiciously, not
wishing to spoil his later effect. She
turned to a Turkish mirror which hung
on the wall opposite to the window,
und began to button up her coat.
"I came over for a walk; and I want
Philadelphia Inquirer: The estab
lishment of peace in the anthracite
trade would undoubtedly be followed by
efforts to secure better results In the
soft coal business. The demoralization
In the tidewater bituminous coal trade
exceeus anything ever seen before. One
company, the Norfolk and Western, Is
already In receivers' hands; another,
the Baltimore und Ohio, has had to be
assisted; the Chesapeake and Ohio and
all the rest are doing badly. The Penn
splvauia alone Is doing well, and that
Is only because It Is lined with manu
factories, which furnisli an immense
amount of finished products. The situ
ation has become so bad that there Is
no money In the business for either tne
miner or the carrier. Tentative prop
ositions have already been made look
ing to the better regulation of the
trade this year, and as all the soft coal
roads are members of the Trunk Line
association there Is no doubt as to
th"'r unanimous desire to secure better
rates. The movement to udvunce rates
for railroad service seems universal.
With through business regulated by the
Trunk Line association, coal prices ad
vanced and bituminous rates restored,
the whole railroad situation In this
section of the country would be radi
cally changed. The effect of these
changes upon the values of railroad se
curities would he so Important that any
estimate of their lntluence nt this time
would be Inadequate, If not Impossible.
Much Interest Is manifested in tht
call for a meeting of the anthracite
coal carriers Thursday. The feeling of
Wall street Is that the matter Is now In
strong hands and little difllculty will
be found in putting the trade on a suo
stautlal and permanent basis. The rea
son for the belief lies In the fact' that the
interests which have hitherto prevent
ed an agreement are now In the hands
of people who have Interests in other
coal roads as well as In the one which
prevented a settlement lust spring. The
Heading's claim to L'l per cent, of tne
output Is, by some operutors, regarded
ns excessive; they think 20 per cent. Is
the utmost the road is entitled to. It
Is generally believed that the ques
tion of shares In the output will ne
settled by the large Interests, and that
the fact that the situation Is perma
nently uljusted will atone for any small
Injustice In the division.
Pltston Gazette: The durability of
Iron as rootling is surprising, a few
weeks ago the large Delaware and Hud
son coal pockets at Carbondale were de
stroyed by fire. The building was
roofed with Iron from the Plttston Iron
Itoofllng company's works, and after
the tire the rootling, warped all out of
shape, was thrown upon the refuse
heup. A representative of the rootling
company visited the scene, and told the
railroad company's officials that the
rootling could be fixed up. It was
shipped here and run through the ma
chines at the rootling works and now
covers the new pockets nt Carbondale,
as good as ever. A year or so ago the
Iron rootling on a burned breaker near
Mill Creek was similarly dealt with.
