"A-weel, ehoort a wef drnnpU-." Faltl
the other. "The only thiiiR I've found

"Then don't spoil It by trying to talk
feotehy."
Then ptond nlpht. and the doctor's
friend mill companion threw a plaid
over his shoulders and passed out into
the rain and darkness, to seek his bed
at a rmmh cottarce a hundred yards
away, there hr-linr no accommodation
for him for sleeping, thiiuslilie came
there for lilit meals.
"1 whh ho wouldn't talk like that."
muttered the doctor. "It's only the
weather. Come a fine day.and the place
will look kIoiIous. Loch, sea, moun

trout, hair and prouse. Why, there's
everythintta weary man could w ish for.
As for the rents of the miserable boili
les, let them go. I didn't buy the place
for that."
He yawned, snuffed the tallow can
dle, looked at his clean, rough bed at
one side of the low-ceiled room, walked
to 'the door, opened it and listened,
and dosed It uiraiu.
"All aslee:," he muttered, and h?
now crossed to the lattice window,
opened It, and looked out there, Mul
tiline; to the splashing of tin; lain
which came down heavily, stn aniln;;
off the mossy, roush slabs of the roof

"Is it going to rain for forty davs
and nishts?" he mumbled. "Who's to
shoot or fish? Never mind; one has an
ark of refuse, and there are wor.ie

and trout."
Five minutes later he was in bod.
listenliiK to the lallinu; rain, which sud

doctor, the. new owner of (.lli-lu'l "lie,
was fast asleep.
"Kh? Yes? What's (he matter?"
He had started up in bed, wiiklmr up
on the Instant, medic al fashion, a hab
it that becomes second nature to men
vho e to rest expecliny; to be culled
up.
All was still but the streamim; and
Biirplinir of the water from (lie caves.
"Fancy," he muttered, and he wis
about to lie dow n iistuln, hop there
was an unmistakable i-ipplni; at the
w'ndow panes.
".Must be Tom." he muttered, as he
sprang out of bed and lh lew open the

window, to dimly make out a figure
close to him, his chamber being on the
ground floor for the simple teason that
there were no upjier rooms.
"That you. Tom?"
"Whisht! She'll chust eoem," paid the
visitor.
"Come? Come where?" .
"To Clenspate."
"Kh! Tonight? What for?"
"Ta wumman's dewing."
"What woman?"
"At ta bothle by ta wee bit bnrnie."
"What's the matter with h.r?"
"She's deeing. Ou. ay, she's cUeing."
"Hut what Is !? Some fever?"
"Nay. There was a bit. barn four
days agant?, ami she's chust deeiig. '
"Watt." said the doctor, closing the
window, and beginning to dress hur
riedly. "One of my tenants. I suppose.
On a nitiht like this! Women are
so unreasonable, 'Well, I suppose I
must go."
John Iilndon literally snatched him
self into his rough tweeds, laeecl up
his heavy shooting boots, and then
slipping on a mackintosh reopened the
wndow.
He hesltatd for a moment as tn de
parting by the window, but. not wish
ing to disturb his landlord, he st-p-ped
out, closed the lattice as well a. he
could, and then followed the man. who
started off at once through the stead
ily falling rain, depending unon htm
entirely for puidnnce, the darkness
seeming to have Increased.
Hut the messenger never showed the i
least uncertainty, but went brushing
through the saturated heath and
heather. In and out among stones, and
over and over again thieiigh roaring
burns, kbee deep, but pausing here- to
offer his companion a hand.
Eight long inilcai. that seemed in the
darkness to be twelve hefcre. low down
In the narrow glen a faint light was
vslhle, just as Llndon was growing ut
terly exhausted, and he uttered a sigh
of thankfulness.
That the place?" eh said.
"Ou, ny,"
These were almost the only wnr-s
drawn from the man. who hd preserved
a sulky silence all the way; and upon
the strength of this ooening of a con
versation the doctor continued:
"Is the woman a relative of yours?"
"Chust my wumman," was the re
ply That accounted for a deal, and the
doctor said, gravely:
"Poor thing! Well, I hope she ta
betwr now."
"fsiie's Just deeing!" Bald the man,
angrily.
There was a low whistle at this mo
ment, the dull light was suddenly In
creas?d, for the door of the cottage
was opened and the glow of a fire
shone out, displaying a group of men
standing in the doorway, ready to draw
back and allow the doctor to enter
with his suiile when lice door a.i
at onc e clo:;ecl.
"What a night!" he said, as he looked
round ut the laces lit up, all being
familiar a:i those of men living at th.;
rough biilhir In I lie glen he had pur
chased some month.: be fore. The f.ic s
were trim, weather-beaten and scowl
ing, uc it seemed to him, and no e-ii:
i'.poke as he si!';ied off his dripping
mackintosh: but, attributing it to anx
iety about th" woman he asked of the
nearest man how the sick woman was.
Chust deeing," lie said, sourlv.
'Where is she? Through thai door?"
The messenger tossed down his sat
urated iiluld aid nodded.
"Well, jvu had better send there
people mvay," raid the doctor, and
lie stepped to the door, raised the wood
en latc h, and then drew back, for the
place was in darkness.
As he tinned nnd saw the group of
men standinc watching him in sil 'P.ee.

he had been in the middle of the night,
without a soul being aware of his cool
ing. I hit the next moment he had cu.-d
out the thought as unworthy of him,
and picking out the scowling hus
band "There is no light," he said, in a de
c isive manner.
The mini glanced around at his fol
lows, and slowly took a rough cumlle
st' I; from the shelf, lit It with .some
dTiiciilty and a great deal of Haling
v a.-te, and then handed It to the doc
tor. "I'ut are there no women here?" he
said, sharply.
The man shook his head, and, struc k
by the strani-eness of his dumb an
nouncement, the thought of being
trapped onee more entered the doctor's
mind, but, ashamed to show what was
nt best only a suspicion, he turned
rlmrply back. pu: hed open the door.aiol
entered a small, stone-paved room,
holding the smoky caudle above Ills
head.
"What nonsense!" he thought the
nest moment, for there upon a narrow
box-bed of the roughest type lav a
wcnnan.wliose eyes gleamed as the light
pbiyed upon them; and in the one
quick glance he gave John Lindon
knew that there wa.t no trick here.
The mother before him was lying with
"life at the lees," unci the first moment
he felt that she wan beyond his power
to save. Kxhaustion had made her an
easy prey to fever, and as their eyes
nu t lie could read In the mute appeal
that, feverstricken as she was, there
was still a gleam of consciousness left;
nnd as he went down on one knee by
the bedside, the lips parted in a luint
w hispor:
"Am 1 gaeln' to dee?"
"Not If 1 can help It," he said, softly,
and proceeded with Ills ministrations.
Half an hour Inter the door was
softly opined, and the messenger's
bead appeared, the mnn glancing
Fharply at the bed, and then stealing
back nnd closing the door.
John Lhidoii crossed to the door In
time to hear the words "Not ibid" In
n low tone, followed by a murmur as
of several voices speaking together half
niigrily.
He felt puzzled, for the tone of the
men's voices suggested disappoint
ment. Hut a low sigh from the bed
drew him back, and for the next two
hours his whole energy wns taken up
by his intense struggle with tin- grim
spectre which seemed to be battling
with him for the one poor life.
Meanwhile ngaln and again a head
was thrust In the room, und every
time different to tile last, as if the
waiting men were anxious to verify
the report made by the last comer that
the patient was not "deid" ye t.
The voices in tile outer room grew so
loud at last in dispute that, feeling how
necessary cpiii t was for his patient,
Lindon crossed the room to go and
speak lo the men. and then order the
husband to send them away nnd fetch
some woman neighbor to the house;
but an he reached the door, which the
last visitor had not completely closed,
he stood fast, startled by the menacing
nspect of the men, seen as they were
by the light of a hog pine knot which
suddenly blazed up. They were talk
ing volubly In (ladle, one mnn in par
ticular, a wild-looking, rough, heavy
f diow gesilc ulatirg threnten'ngly whl
several of the others appeared to be
in agreement with him as he spoke In
fierce denunciation to the husband of
tho.wotnan, and pointed to the Inner
room.
Then, nil at onee, five men made
for the door, but the husband sprang
before them, and shouted fiercely In tne
wild tongue. th words being Incompre
hensible to Linden's ear. but readily
grasped all the same, for the gesture
was sufficient Interpretation, without
his muttering afterwards in his brok
en Knglish:
"Not till she's deid not till she's
d.'id."

to their hand, so they had snatched at
the fact of one of their women tielng
nick to bring him into their midst, in
the mad belief that by getting lid of
their new landlord they would own thu
land on which they and their fathers
hud lived.
It was all plain enough, and, chilled
with horror, the doc-tor stood by the
narrow crack of the door, so close to
the man who defended it that he could
have touc hed his shoulder, but literal
ly paralyzed for Hie time being.
It was almost cataleptic, that seizor',
for u few inonit nt. but it passed away
as sudd-ill;' us it had tome. and.
nerved by der.pnb-, he looked uround
for a weapon, but looked in vuiu. His
next thought waa Might, but besides
the door ir.e only mean.-, of exit was
by the window cl-.se to tile rough ceil
iiii,', and that was in one little pane,
the opening being too .Mnull to udtuit
01 the pasfarre ol a man.
The only chance seemed to be to
wail till the men had settled down, and
then to walk quietly Inlo their niicist
as if to ask for something, seize his
opportunity, dash tlirougu the door
und run tor his lite.
"To be hunted down and murdered!"
lit said to himself, a.4 he thought of
the little chance he would have in a
place strange, comparatively, to him,
and of which every Inch was known
to the men who would pursue unci
overtake him before he had gone a hun
dred yards,
Kjr a moment or two he naked him
self whether he was not raising a bogey
with his over-excited Imagination,
hut, with sinking heart, he felt that
it was all quite true': and uny doubts
were set aside by the action of the
savafie-looki.ig cicw. who were drink
ing heavily of potent 'spirit, probably
of their own making.
"To keep up their courage," he
th iugh;, ar he looked round onee again
in his despair, cursing the hour in
which lie had e ver dreamed of coming
to so savage a place, though knowing
Hint he would have been ready to laugh
to scorn anyone who had told hint
such an event was possible.
He was nt the men's merry; no one
could give any clue to his disappear

for they would Had It easy to dispose
ef his body probably pitch him oft

where he would be carried out to sea.
He set hhi teeth, his hands Involun
tarily clenched, and a grim look cf de
termination came into. hid face, which
boded ill for Eonie one of the wretched
crew when the strugfje b gan.
Then, like a lluuh, he saw the weapon
which might save his life there, by the
light of the smoky candle, which was
burning low nnd gave movement ns it
Hlckcrcd to the stony features of hid
patient.
"Not till she's dead." he muttered,
n peatlr.g the husband's words.
What clid that mean? Had they some
superstitious finding against killing
him while the breath still lingered In
the womans breast? Perhaps so. At
any rate, his life uremed to hang on
hers, and he usked himself what more
he could do to prolong It, Know ing full
well, in a dull, apathetic way. that he
had done everything that medical und
surgical skill could devise.
lie drew a stool to the bedside nnd
seated himself, holding his patient's
wrist to fi el the faint tlutterlugs of the
pulse; and he was seated thins, feeling
that tin? life was departing nj the can

flickering up once, the wick fell over
side wise, to he smothered in the melt
eel fat, leaving him In darkness.
only for a moment, though, for the
door was thrown open, and the ruddy
glow from the outer room Hooded the
bed with light.
"Wass the dead?" said the husband.
"No. I'.ring anoth light." said the
doctor sternly; and the man stepped
back to where his companions sat mut

pressing after him to Ktnnd gazing In.
"She wass ch id!" growled the hus
band, holding up the light; and a low
growl arose from the men behind him.
The speake r's face was so near that
his, hot, w hisky-lntlanird breath puffed
Into the doc tor's face; but he sut firm,
as he said sternly:
"Co hack; she la not dead. Why do
you not bring some women some
neighbor here?"
The man cave vent to a fierce laugh,
and held the candle over the woman's
face.
"Ta wumman's c'eld," he sp.iel hoarse
ly, nnd his o mpanh ns pressed forward,
but stopped as if moved by one impulse
as a low, piteous, weary sigh escaped
from the Hick woman's lips.
"You hear?" said the doctor firmly,
"she is not dead, for 1 have saved he r
life. Now. go back, sir. and send away
those drunken scoiinilri!B. Do you want
to murder the poor woman whom I am
trying to save?"
The man started, stared at the doc

ami ihcn down over thnt of his wife,

ed huskily. "i-:'ne sal not dee?"
"I t?;l you no," replied the doctor,
rternly. '"1 s-hu'l save her life."
"Heh!" ejaculated the man, and Fet

heel and ki -'sed the Inanimate face,
before rising up aculn and turning to
the .!oetcr.
"Slip was n cuid wumman." he whis

returned directly with a bottle and a
cup. into which he poured some of the
potent spirit.
"She'll trlnk." he whi.-iered. and af

raised the cup t Ids lipj and took u
good burning mouthful.
"Hutch courage, perhaps," he said
the next day to his fiiend. "but that
