CHAPTER XXII. CLUNY’S CAGE. ■MBH/ “Snenae malr, tnenac malr," said tluni/ We came at last to the foot of an ex ceeding steep wood, which scrambled r.p a craggy hillside and was crowned by a naked precipice. “It’s here,” said one of the guides, and we struck up hill. The trees clung upon the slope like sailors on the shrouds of a ship, and their trunks were like the rounds of a ladder, by which we mounted. Quite at the top, and just before the rocky face of the cliff sprung above the foliage, we found that strange house which was known in the country as “Cluny's Cage.” The trunks of several trees had been wattled across, the inter vals strengthened with stakes, and the ground behind this barricade leveled up with earth to make the floor A tree which grew out from she hillside was the living center beam of the roof. The walls were of wattle and covered with moss. The whole house had something of an egg shape, and it half hung, half stood in that steep hillside thicket, like a wasp's nest in a green hawthorn. Within it was large enough to shelter five or six persons with some comfort. A projection of the cliff had been cun ningly employed to be the fireplace, and the smoke rising against the face of the rock, and being not dissimilar in color, readily escaped notice from below. This was but one of Cluny's hiding places; he had caves besides under- I ground chambers in several parts of his | country; and following the reports of his scouts he moved from one to another as the soldiers drew near or moved away. By this manner of living, and thanks to the affection of his clan, he staid all this time in safety. When we came to the door he was seated by his rock chimney watching a gillie about some cookery. He was mighty plainly habited, with a knitted nightcap drawn over his ears, and smoked a foul cutty pipe. For all that he had the manners of a king, and it was quite a sight to see him rise out of his place to welcome us. "Well, Mr. Stewart, come awa’, sir!” said he, “and bring in your friend that as yet I dinnae ken the name of.” “And how is yourself, Cluny?” said Alan. “I hope ye do brawly, sir. And I am proud to see ye, and to present to ye my friend the Laird of Shaws, Mr. David Balfour.” Alan never referred to my estate with out a touch of a sneer w hen we were alone; but with strangers he rang the words out like a herald. “Step in by, the both of ye, gentle men,” says Cluny. “I make ye welcome to my house, which is a queer, rude place for certain, but one where I have entertained a royal personage, Mr. Stewart—ye doubtless ken the person age I have in my eye. Well take a dram for luck, and as soon as this hand less man of mine has the collops ready well dine and take a hand at the cartes, as gentlemen should. My life is a bit driegh,” says he, pouring out the brandy; “I see little company, and sit and twirl my thumbs and mind u]>on a great day that is gone by, and weary 'or another great day that we all hope will be upon the road. And so here’s a toast to ye—the restoration!” Thereupon we all touched glasses and drank, i am sure 1 wished no ill to King George, and if he had been there himself in proper person it’s like he would hi ve done as I did. No sooner had I taken out the dram than I felt hugely better, and could look on and listen, still a lit tle mistily perhaps, but no longer with the same groundless horror and distress of mind. It was certainly a strange place, and we had a strange host. Though he was thus sequestered, and like the other landed gentlemen of Scot land stripped by the late act of parlia ment of legal powers, he still exercised a patriarchal justice in his clan. Dis putes were brought to him in his hiding hole to be decided; and the men of his country, who would have snapped their fingers at the court of session, laid aside revenge and paid down money at the bare word of this forfeited and hunted outlaw. When he was angered, which was often enough, he gave his commands and breathed threats of punishment like any king; and his gillies trembled and crouched away from him like children before a hasty father. With each of them, as he entered, he ceremoniously shook hands, both parties touching their bonnets at the same time in a military manner. Altogether I had a fair chance to see some of the inner workings of a highland clan; and this with a pro scribed fugitive chief, his country con quered, the troops riding upon all sides In quest of him, -sometimes within a mile of where he lay, and when the least of the ragged fellows whom he rated and threatened could have made a for tune by betraying him. On that first day, as soon as the col lops were ready, Cluny gave them with his own hand a squeeze of a lemon vfor he was well supplied with luxuries) and bade us draw in to our meal. “They,” said he, meaning the collops, “are such as I gave his royal highness in this very house, bating the lemon juice, for at that lime we were glad to get the meat and never fashed for kitchen. In deed there were malr dragoons than lemons in my country in the year forty- nirr earn i. Cluny said ho would be very glad, 1 and followed me readily enough, but he looked flustered and put out. “And now, sir,” says I, “I must first acknowledge your generosity,” “Nonsensical nonsense!” cries Cluny. “Where’s the generosity? This is just a j most unfortunate affair; but what would | ye have me do—boxed up in this beeskep of a Cage of mine—bnt just set my friends to the cartes, when 1 can get 1 them? And if they lose, of course, it’s not to be supposed”— And here he came to a pause. “Yes,” said I, “if they lose, you give them back their money; and if they win, they carry away yours in their pouches! I have said before that I grant your generosity; but to me, sir, it’s a very painful thing to be placed in this position.” There was a little silence, in which Cluny seemed always as if he was about to speak, bnt said nothing. All the time, he grew redder and redder in the face. “I am a young man,” said I, “and I ask your advice. Advise nu as you would advise your son. My friend fair ly lost this money after having fairly gained a far greater sum of yours; can I accept it back again? Would that be the right part formetoplaj? What ever I do, you can see for yourself, it must be hard upon a man of any pride.’ “It’s rather hard on me, too, Mr. Bal four,” said Cluny, “and ye give me very much the look of a man that has en trapped poor people to their hurt. 1 wouldnae have my friends come to any house of mine to accept affron’s; no,” he cried, with a sudden heat of anger, “nor yet to give them!” “And so yon see, sir,” said I, “there is something to be said upon my side, and this gambling is a very poor employ for gentlefolks. But I am still wa ting your opinion.” I am sure if ever Cluny hated any man, it was David Balfour. He looked me all over with a warlike eye, and I saw the challenge at his lips. But either mj youth disarmed him, or perhaps his own sense of justice. Certainly it was » mortifying matter for all concerned, and not least for Cluny; the more credit that he took it as he did. “Mr. Balfour,” said he, “I think you Darlington Lodge No. 7, Xnights of Pythi as, meets on 1st and 3rd Tuksday Evenings in each month, at fa tie Hall, Florence street, opiKieite Broad. Visit ing brothers fraternally >y e were no sooner done eating rnan Cluny brought out an old, thumbed, greasy pack of cards, such as you may find in a mean inn, and his eyes bright ened in his face as he proposed that we should fall to playing. Now this was one of the things I had been brought up to eschew like disgrace. To be sure 1 might have pleaded my fatigue, which was excuse enough; but I thought it behooved that I should bear a testimony. I must have got very red in the face, bnt I spoke steadily, and told them I had nb call to be a judge of others, but for my own part it was a matter in which I had no clearness. Cluny stopped mingling the cards. “What in the deil's name is this?” says he. “What kind of Whiggish, canting talk is this, for the house of Cluny Mac- pherson?” “Sir,” said I, “I am very wearied, and what’s more, as you are a man that likely has sons of your own, I may tell you it was a promise to my father.” “Sae nae mair, sae nae mair,” said Cluny, and pointed me to a bed of heather in the corner of the cage. For all that | he was displeased enough, looked at me | askance and grumbled when he looked What with the brandy and the venison, a strange heaviness had come over me, I and I had scarce lain down upon the bed before I fell into a kind of trance in ' which I continued almost the whole I time of our stay in the Cage.

But Alan and Cluny were most of the time at the cards, and I am clear that Alan must have begun by winning, for I remember sitting up and seeing them hard at it, and a great glit tering pile of as much as sixty or a hundred guineas on the table. It looked strange enough to see all this wealth in a nest upon a cliff side, wattled about growing trees. And even then I thought it seemed deep water for Alan to be riding, who had no better battle horse than a green purse and a macterof five pounds. The luck it seems changed on the second day. About noon I was awakened as usual for dinner, and as usual re- “Does Minton expect to get anything when he marries Scadd’s daughter ?” “Yes, a breach of promis suit from another girl.”—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Cluny sat at the table, biting the pack of cards. Alan had stooped over the bed, and had his face close to my eyes, to which, troubled as they were with the fever, it seemed of the most shocking bigness. He asked me for a loan of my money. “What for?” said I. “Oh, just for a loan,” said he. “But why?” I repeated. “I don’t see.” “Hoot, David!” said Alan. “Ye would nae grudge me a loan?” I would, though, if I had had my senses! But all 1 thought of then was to get his face away, and I handed him my money. On the morning of the third day, when we had been forty-eight hours in the Cage, I awoke with a great relief of spirits, very weak and weary indeed, but seeing things of the right size and with their honest, everyday appearance. I had a mind to eat, moreover, rose from bed of my own movement, and as soon as we had breakfasted stepped to the entry of the Cage and sat down outside in the top of the wood. It was a gray day. with a cool, mild air, and 1 sat in a dream all morning, only disturbed by the passing by of Cluny's scouts and servants coming with provisions and re ports, for as the coast was at that time clear you might almost say he held court openly. When I returned he and Alan had laid the cards aside and were questioning a gillie, and the chief turned about and spoke to me in the Gaeli*’. “I have no Gaelic, sir,” said I. Now since the card question every thing I said or did had the power of an noying Cluny. "Your name has more sense than yourself then,” said he an grily, “for it's good Gaelic. But the point is this: My scout report* all clear in the south, and the question is, Have ye the strength to go?” I saw cards on the table, but no gold, only a heap of little written papers, and these all on Cluny’s side. Alan besides had an old look, like a man not very well content, and I began to have a strong misgiving. “I do not know if I am as well as I should be,” said I, looking at Alan, “but the little money we have has a long way to carry us.” Alan took his under lip into his mouth and looked upon the ground. “David,” says he at last, “I’ve lost it; there's the naked truth.” “My money, too?” aaid I. “Your money, too,” says Alan, with a groan. “Ye should nae have given it me. I’m daft when I get to the cartes.” “Hoot toot, hoot toot,” said Cluny. “It was all dafling; it’s all nonsense. Of course ye ll have your money back again, and the double of it, if ye 11 make so free with me. It would be a singular thing for me to keep it. It’s not to be suppose d that I would be any hinder- ance to gentlemen in your situation; that would be a singular thing!” cries ho, and began to pull gold out of his pocket, with a mighty red face. Alan said nothing, only looked on the ground. fWill jsu ht$p to the doqj with me, He—If you did not love me, why did you encourage me ? She—I ? Encourage you ?
