somewhat wild. Is compelled by his love
for a Covenanter lass, Isobel Wclr, who
acorns his roistering ways, to announce
his desire to become a preacher. His
father grows sarcastic at the idea, and,
to add to Patrick's anger, his mother
brines in Robert as a candidate, whom

and announces his intention to become one

PART III.
And with that I waved my hand to
Isobel Welr. the lass I would have loved
better than any other man, if so be she
would have let me. For I saw that
Fhe would not even shake me by the
hand for old skae's sake. And I de
sired to save her the pain of refusing
Now let all men Jud,te If my heart
whs not full to the brim of dule and
waefulness that day as I went down
the bonny knowes of the Cluden side.
For, saving the brothers whom I had
left behind. I had not a friend In the
world. And when the heart Is sore for
a lass and her fickleness, it is not the
love of brothers that brings much solid
comfort. I thought chlelly Indeed that
another Would kiss the lovely mouth
I had Ion red to kiss, and I felt for my
knife to kill him for it.
Uy the Red Yetts I heard a pitter
patter on the Brass, and there, running
behind me, was my dojr Royal, racing
from side to side of the way and smell
ing at rabbit holes as If I had been go
ing a little dauner to see the lasses In
the gloaming. I bade him go home, but
lie did nothing but sit and look at me,
considering, as It were, with his wise
head to the side. Nor would be budge
an inch when I spoke angrily, but only
lay and cowered his head between his
paws so meekly that I could not beat
him for very pity.
So, though I feared that they would
not abide him at the quarters of the
dragoons In JJunfrlcs, I had perforce to
let him follow on. And Indeed he abode
with me ever after, and is even now
with the regiment.
When I came to Claverhouse's lodg
ing I went boldly up to the sentinel
and demanded of him to see Col. Gra
ham. "Ho, Bluebonnet," cried he, "It Is not
often that a Whig comes specrlng for
that. name. What might you want of
him, my brave Whlggie?"
"An' you hud not that long piece In
your hand with th.? pudding pricker ut
tile end, I would e'er, show you to
wnom you speak," said I, shutting my
fists; "but an' you want to know, I
come to enlist In his Majesty's drag
oons." When the soldier heard that his mood
changed, and, very good-naturedly, h
' told ma where I should llnd Cornet
Graham, who had charge of the re
cruiting. To him I went, and we agreed
so well thaw In an hour I was being
measured for my accoutrement by the
regimental tailor.
Then, when for the first time Troop
er Patrick Vernor, eldest son to John
Vernor,- of Irongray, rode out, judge
ye what a cry there was In all the
country side. Some there were who
said that I did buy play the old game
of "Heads, I win; tails, my father
does." For (said they) If the king
keeps his own, Irongray is safe In the
hands of that good soldier of his maj
esty and of Claverhouse's, Private Pat
rick Vernor; but If the wild Whigs
triumph In their Whlggery why, here
is the patriot and sufferer, John Ver
: nor, restored to full possession, and, in
addition, all his fines and king's dues
are remitted.
Hut among the fnl. of the hillside
and the field meeting I was outcast
and thrice accursed. For soon after
my enlisting there ensued the wildest
times that we had ever had In Gallo
waysudden marches during the night,
moorland houses searched, half a doz
en poor, Ignorant praying lads turned
out. some to get their quietus at the
dyke-back with a charge of powder
and a musket bullet, the rest to go
stringing away to Edinburgh, on the
backs of sorry nags, their feet tied
under the bellies of their horses. It
was weary work; and in my own coun
try side I liked it 111 enough. Hut I
was nut the man to go back; and, in
deed, . what, when all was said and
done, had I to go back to?
Then in awhile there came better of
it. For the folk of the Covenant be
gan to gather into disciplined com
panies and make a stand. And then,
what riding and chasing there was
between garrison and garrison Col
onel Douglas at Morton borrowing
trooners from Captain Bruce, of Earl-
shall, at Crichton Peel, and both be
ing drawn upon by John Graham, of
Claverhouse, who kept at Dumfries
the head bees' byke, from which we
nwarmed out In all directions to win
honey from the Whlggish pastures of
Galloway.
So we went on, riding and killing till
It happened that we lay, one day, a
hot Sabbath, by a hill side, and we

HIS KNIFE DROP.
had marched all night to take the Con
venticiers In the midst of their preach
ing. It was about the noontide, and
we were lying idly in the covert, with
our horses cropping the coarse, lush
grasses of the little forest glades. We
.couia easily near the sound of the
preacher's voice from where we lay,
and by crawling to the edge of the cop-
' pice we could see hlm-a tall, thin lad,
with a fresh and beautiful counten
ance. "I declare," said Sergt. Drlscoll, below
his breath, "If I had not seen Psalm
Singing Pat there lying on his belly and
sucking of a straw, I had thought that
he had given us the slip and gone back
FIT! O i
t
to his old business. That preacher loon
is the very moral of him."
Hut It was too hot there In the wood
to bandy words with a cross eyed thief
of the King's pet Irishy. So I let Dris
coll talk on. I heeded not at all what
he said concerning the preacher. I had
seen too many of the breed, and, bear-
ring Ritchie Cameron, who had tho
heart of half a dozen brave men all In
side of his one body, I had small enough
liking for tlK'tn, or Indeed they for me.
truth to tell, they had sptr sawed tne
over surely with their catec .ilsr.is un I
testimonies when I was young. And
since Isobel Welr had given me the go
by, I had looked (God forgive me) at
more than ohe along the shining barrel
of a King's musket For winch, as I
say, may the Lord pardon me. For I
but carried out the orlers of my com
mander, and, like a soldier: took no
account of the rights or wrongs of the
matter.
So presently It was time for us lo
drive among them. The men awakened
and stretched themselves. Then they
leaped up from their beds of hothtr,
looked to their equipment, and secured
each his own charger. The colonel di
vided us into two parties, and we rjde
out of the wood at opposite ends, to
take the Conventiclcrs in Hank and
rear.
Here and there we could see a sen
tinel standing leaning on his gun or
moodily pacing to and fro. But, onu
and all, they were paying more atten-
SHE KEPT ONE ARM ABOUT MY
BROTHER'S NECK.
tlun to the preacher than to walklr.g
about Zlon and telling thu enemies
thereof. At ail events, we were well
out of the wood before any alarm wus
given. But when they saw us come,
then indeed there was a buzs and u
stir among them like bees swarming.
Certain of the stronger and more de
termined men drew themselves to
gether Into some sort of disciplined
order about the preacher. But the mo.u
part of them ran every way, making
especially for a large wild moss with
many quaggs and green slimy mor
asses, over which they supposed our
heavy horses could not go.
It so chanced that my own squadron,
with Col. Douglas at its head, was the
first to reach the little band of the fa
naticals that stood at bay at about the
preached. As we came, a tall, gray
headed man among them whom for
the press I could not see clearly gave
the word of command, and they fired Ir
regularly when we were about thirty
yards from them. I saw the smoke
spring white as it had been under the
very nose of my horse. At my elbow
Jock Cannon, for ordinary my rear
rank man, grunted, fell forward on his
horse's neck, and his sword dropped
from his hand. Looking about me, I
could see several saddles wounded or
that killed, I knew not. So there ran
the word along the line of our charge
that no prisoners were to be taken, ex
cept the preacher, on whose head there
was a price. And in a moment we were
among them, and I was striking down
the sword blade of the man who op
posed me a stout country man who
had a cloak wrapped about his left arm
for a guard. But there was no seeing
much, for the place where we fought
was in a hollow, and what with the
lack of wind and the much firing, all
was turmoil and a confused smother of
the blue reek of powder.
Now, mine enemy was a stout lad
enough, but with his heavy blade and
small experience, he could not hope to
keep it up with an exercised soldier of
His Majesty. So I had presently his
sword out of his hand, and was just
about to cleave him to the brisket, when
my gentlman, instead of crying: "Quar
ter!" as many of them did, leaped at
me with a broad-bladed dagger knife
before 1 had time to shorten grips on my
swqrd.
And then, when his face was near
enough mine to see clearly through the
smoke, and his knife within six Inches
of my buff coat. I saw who he was
mine own brother Duncan. And at the
same moment he knew me.
"Patrick!" he cried, and let his knife
drop.
"Lord love you Duncan," I said,
stopping my horse. "Get out of this as
fast as you may. Are there any more
of the Irongray folk among them?"
"We are all here together," he said,
"all except Martin."
The tide 'of battle had somewhat
passed us, sweeping on over the mulr.
so I hade him slip away as quietly as he
might; for by this time the line had
broken, as was usual. Into a great num
ber of separate combats. So it was with
little difllculty that I let Duncan es
cape through my fingers, pretending a
misunderstanding with my horse, and
pursuing after him vainly with a loud
outcry.
When I returned, I found that the
skirmish was over, and all the fanatl
cals either dead or captured.
I looked carefully at the former, one
after another. There were none of them
that I knew, till I turned a tall man
lying face down In the moss, who had
been slain at the first fire. It was the
dead body of my father, John Vernor,
of Irongray.
Then t was that the enormity of
taking part agalnBt my name and folk
was first fully brought home to me.
For mostly I had loved the horseman
ship part of this soldiering business
the clattering gayety of the march, the
mustering in baste, the cool night rides?;
the constant change of quarters, the
thrilling trump of battle, and the com
panionship of just such brisk, heedless
lads as myself. But when I saw my
father's deatj body lying there, with the
moss-water running down his heard
and mixing itself with the blood from
his deadly wound, the black side of my
trade came over me. I felt like the mur
derer of my father and the traitor they
called me at their society meetings.
And of that T was very soon to be re
membered. For we had taken the
preacher lad.
"Sure, 'tis Pat Vernor's self we have
caught at the convent Icllng." cried
Drlscoll, the Irishman; "we will even
make him deliver himself to Satan for
persecuting the saints, and then shoot
himself for fleld-preachlng."
And with that I went forward, and
there, "h his bands tied behind his
back, stood the conventicle preacher,
with a lass clasping him about the neck
and the soldiers standing a little way
off, waiting for the coming of the
colonel.
Now, though a man Is not a good
judge of his own likeness, I. could not
but see that this man was the very
moral of me hair, eves, and features
aye, even the very way he had of
standing with his head thrown back
looking over the lass' shoulder with a
kind of defiance.
Presently the maid raised her eyes,
as it hnd been in a prayer to Heaven.
For she knew well that it was little
use making an appeal to the king's
troopers on behalf of a Held Conven
ticler. Then I saw who they ver,e that stooS
before me. The Treacher was my both
er, Robert Vernor, home from Hol
land, a full-Hedged mln! iter, and the
maid whose arm was about his neck
was Isobel Weir.
Presently my brother's eyes fell on
me, ami ne started like one who sets
his foot on a thorn.
"So Judas," he cried, "you have slala
your father and killed your brother.
Clod shall judge thee, thou wicked men
thou bloody son. Sorrow shall thou
sup for all the evil thou has wrought.
1 'at rick Vernor, I deliver thee to tha
Judgment of Almighty God for this
your deed."
And as he spoke Isobel Welr turned
nor about and looked at nio. mk ono
woulJ ct a very demon of eru-.:!:y, so
that my heart quailed and turned sick
within me at a glance. And even 'tun
she kept one arm about my brother's
neck, and .so tor a moment rhe stood
gazing at me.
.Traitur!" she- said, at last, with a
certain slow, quiet bitterness, exceed
ing hard to bear; " a slayer of your
father and heart-breaker of your
mother do not stay your hand until
you have taken my blood and that of
this poor lad. He is your youngest
brother, and little more than a balm.
Hut that will make it the sweeter t3
you, and after that we ore all under
clod then you may rest happy at last
and receive the reward of your brave
soldier deeds In the slyalng of women
and children."
To this I answered no word, but with
my heart cankered and drowned in the
very gall of bitterness I stood and
looked at the two.
TO BE CONTIUED.
A REMARKABLE CAT.
Thp vast majority of men who go hunt
ing have trained dogs to accompany them
to point wherever the game lies, and when
the bird Is shot lo retrieve. There Is one
hunter In the world, however, says the
Mexican Herald, who has no use for a
clog of this kind, because he is the proud
possessor of a cat that does the work quit.)
as satisfactorily as any dog could do it.
Unlike most cats, which prefer to do
their hunting indoors, to prey upon rats
ami mice, and an occasional canary bird
when the cage has been left carelessly
open, this tabby Is a thorough lover of
outdoor sport. .She accompanies her mas.
tr whenever he (toes abroad with is Kill),
and is said to show in all cases the most
remarkable Intelligence, She Is fat ami
sleek as a butler-fed baby, providing most
of her meals by "setting and "point
ing" sparrows when she Is not engaged
In her duty as a sportsman's nssltant,
although her master is so fond mid proud
of her that he sees to it that. In the ab
sence of a meal of sparrows, she has all
that the most luxurious eat could want
for her daily meals. Nothing disturbs the
cat when once she has ferreted out the
whereabouts of a bird. Noises of all sorts
fall to attract her attention at such a
moment. Rigid and crouching, she awaits
the crack of the gun before pouncing upon
her prey, and but for a slight nervous
twitching of her tall, no one would gu.ss
that she was r living animal. The singu
lar part of it a'i Is that she has never been
trninei, for this occupation. It seems' to
have In en born ill her. just as poetry Is
born in poets. She can tell in an Instant
whether or not her master's shot has lieu
true, und has never been known to chase
after n bird that was not wounded and
brought to theground.

HAPPINESS DEPENDENT UPON
There Is a great deal being said and written In this brilliant last decade of the
nineteenth century about women's proper Held In the world, few In lleviiig that it is
other than In the home attending; to her doniextic duties, and they are rightthere is
nothing hisrer or hitter to properly look after the physical, mental and moral wel
fare of her children in her home, and there Is no home in the full sense of the word
where there are no children. It requires more intrllixi nce to bo a tsood mother than
It does to make a stumy speech or to write a novel. When we realt the as
tonishing fact a fact that is borne out by statistics that one-fourth of all the chil
dren die before they reach the end of their first year, we can see the urgent need
of wise and iiitelllxent mothers. When mothers realize that In their hands is the
destiny of all future generations, they will realize that in their hands is the care
in the development of their physical condition. They would realize that to brinK
forfh a healthy and robust progeny, they must themselves be physically perfect. A
child's physical condition depends more upon the health of its mother than it does
upon tho health of Its father.
A WOMAN'S DUTY.
A woman's jrreat mission Is the part she plays in the perpetuation of the race.
The artlllcial touch of society has brought about a sad state of affairs, bearing
upon the responsibility of woman in this particular. Childbirth should be to every
mother a pleasure, not a pain, and if the organs are in the condition nature in
tended they should be, the anticipating mother would look forward to the event
without fear or apprehension.
N'lnety per cent, of the divorces are brounht about by the constant and Rratlmr
complaints of the Ills and pains that actually exist, caus.d by a deranged condition
of the functional organs (distinctly feminine). et rid of these complaints'by erad
icating the cause, bHcome absolutely healthy, happy and vivacious, as you were wneti
a school Rirl. Xux-l'hospho is the only preparation in the world that carries with
It the Indorsement of the Hritish Medical Journal.
Henry C. Smith, Es,., of Kaptd City, South Dakota, says that the attorneys
of his state who are makinir a specialty of divorce proceeding will have to seek
other clientage. Nl'X-PHoSl'HO is bringing peace and contentment to thousands
of partially demoralized homes, changing the nervous and IrUahie woman Into a
strong and vivacious helpmate. Nl'X-l'HOSI'HO will cure absolutely nil disorder
or the feminine organism, completely eradicating rains, soothes Initammatioii, pro
motes regularity and stops all debilitating dralm of the system. No woman need
submit to the theorellcal and abhorent ex 1 mlnalioi'S and local treatment Insisted
upon by the general practitioner. NUX-l'IloSI'Ho will cure you absolutely.
NUX-PH03PH0 PiLLS FOR MEN.
CAUSE OP LOSS OF BEAUTV AMD ITS CURE.
Uy their sympathetic connections the uterus and ovaries Influence all the other
functions of teh body; they mould a woman's character, beautify and perfect her
form; when, therefore, this organism so wondrously endowed, so delicately con
structed, is attacked by disease, it Impairs her whole system. She loses the roses from
her cheek, the brightness from her eye. even a short walk tires. Her appetite Is
impaired, and her periods which are irregular, becomp painful.
TIIK CAl'SK of woman's disease can often be attributed to the present high slate
of civilization; tight lacing, unnatural hours for sleep, but more lurgely to the con
dition of her blood and derangement of the functions of the body. Headache, back
ache, legache. distressing pains In the sides and groin. Increased by standing or
walking; loss of flesh, energy and strength, sinking sensation, nervousness and
retlessncrs, shortness of breath, sallow complexion unnatural discharges, fainting
spells, or slight spasms of dizziness, sleeplessness, dark circles underneath the eyes,
heat flushes, hearing-down sensation, frequent urination with scalding, red or white
brick dust In urine, great nervousness, depression, fickle appetite, neuralgia and Ir
ritable, peevish disposition, palpitation, etc.
TRRATMKNT: Thousands of women all over the world have used NCX-PHOS-PHO.
and have been restored to perfect health, and a revival of that VIM. VKlolt
and VITALITY which they possessed when school girls, after all other remedies and
wise physicians have fai'ed.
For a deranged funcV.nal organism N rX-PII08PHO Is the greatest discovery
of the nineteenth century. M Is indorsed by all up-to-date physicians, and If the wo
men who are ailing will tafce It according to directions, it will remove all the preva
lent causes of divorce. CI7RK9 YOl" ABSOI.ITTICLY.

" Three months ago, I wrote you a
letter describing my troubles, which
were inflammation of the womb and
bladder. I had not seen a well day

years ago. I had spent hundreds of
dollars for doctors and medicines.
" Such pains as I endured. My back
ached, my feet and limbs were swollen,
and it wus almost impossible for me to
