CHAPTER XIU—Continued. Alan stood quite still, the tails of his greatcoat flapping behind him in the wind. “This is a pity,” he said at last. “There are things said that cannot be passed over.” “I never asked you to,” said I. “I am as ready as you are yourself.” "Ready?” said he. “Ready,” X repeated. “I ara nae blower and boaster like some that I could name. Come on!” And drawing my sword 1 fell on guard as Alan him self had taught me. “David!” he cried. “Are ye daft? I cannae draw upon ye, David. It's fair murder.” “That was your lookout when you in sulted me,” said I. “It’s the truth!” cried Alan, and he stood for a moment, wringing his mouth in his hand like a man in sore perplex ity. “It’s the bare truth,” he said and drew his sword. But before I could touch his blade with mine, he had thrown it from him and fallen to the ground. “Nae, nae," he kept saying, “nae, nae, I cannae. I cannae.” At this the last of my anger oozed all out of me, and I found myself only sick and sorry and blank and wondering at myself. I would have given the world to take back what I had said, but a word once spoken, who can recapture it? I thought I must have swooned where I stood. This it was that gave me a thought. No apology could blot out what. I had said. It was needless to think of one. None could cover the offense, but where an apology was vain a mere cry for help might bring Alan back to my side. I put my pride away from me. “Alan,” 1 said, "if you cannae helpme I must just die here.” . He started up sitting and looked at me. “It’s true,” said I. “I’m by with it. Oh, let me get into the bield of a house; I'll can die there easier.” I had no need to pretend. Whether I chose or not, J spoke in a weeping voice that would have melted a heart of stone. “Can ye walk?” asked Alan. “Nae,’’said I, “nut without help. This last hour my legs have been fainting under me. I’ve a stitch in my side like a redhot iron. I cannae breathe right. If - I die ye’ll can forgive me, Alan? In my heart I liked ye fine, even when I was the angriest.” “Wheesht, wheesht!” cried Alan. “Dinnae say that! David, man, ye ken”— He shut his mouth upon a sob. “Let me get my ann about ye,” he continued; “that’s the way! Now lean upon me hard. Gude kens where there's a house! We’re in Balwhidder too. There should be no want of houses, no, nor friends’ houses here. Do yon gang easier so, Davie?" “Aye,” said I, “I can be doing this way,” and 1 pressed his arm with my hand. Again he came near sobbing. “Da vie,” said he, “I’m no a right man at all. 1 have neither sense nor kindness. I couldnae remember ye were just a bairn. I couldnae see ye were dying on your feet. Davie, ye’ll have to try and forgive me.” “Oh, man, let’s say no more al<out it!" said I. “We're neither one of us to mend the other—that's the truth! We must just bear and forbear, man Alan! Oh, but my stitch is sore! Is there nae house?” “I'll find a house to ye, David,” he said stoutly. “We'll follow down the burn, where there's bound to be houses. My poor man, will ye nae be better on 'my back?” "Oh, Alan," says I, “and me a good twelve inches taller?” “Ye’re nae such a thing,” cried Alan with a start. “There may be a trifling matter of an inch or two; I'm nae saying I’m just exactly what ye would call a tall man whatever, and 1 dare say,” he added, his voice tailing off in a laugha ble manner, “now when 1 come to think of it, I dare say ye'll be just alx>ut right. Aye, it’ll be a foot or near hand, or may be even mair!” It was sweet and laughable to hear Alan eat his words up in the fear of some fresh quarrel. “Alan,” cried I, "what makes ye so good to me? What makes ye care for such a thankless fellow?” “ ’Deed and 1 don’t know,” said Alan. “For just precisely what 1 thought 1 liked about ye was that ye never quar.-eled—and now 1 like ye better!” CHAPTER XXIV. IN BALQUIPDF.R and across the forth. braes under a little wood; and at mgnt. when the coast was clear, would come into the house to visit me. 1 need not say if I was pleased to S“e him; Mrs. Maclaren, onr hostess, thought nothing good enough for such a guest; and as Duncan Dim (which was the name of cur host) had a pair of pii>es in his house and was much of a lover of music, the time of my recovery was quite a festival and we commonly turned night into day. The soldiers let us be, although once a party of two companies and some dra goons went by in the bottom of the val ley, where I could see them through the window as I lay in bed. What was much more astonishing, no magistrate came near me, and there was no ques tion put of whence I came or whither 1 was going; and in that time of excite ment 1 was as free of all inquiry as though I had lain in a desert. Yet my presence was known before I left to all the people of Balquidder and the ad jacent parts; many coming about the house on visits, and these (after the cus tom of the country) spreading the news among their neighbors. The bills, too, had now been printed. There was one pinned near the foot of my bed, where 1 could read my own not very flattering portrait, and in larger characters the amount of the blood money that had been set upon my life. Duncan Dhu and the rest that knew that I had come there in Alan's com pany could have entertained no doubt of who I was; and many others must have had their guess. For though I had changed my clothes, I could not change my age or person, and lowland boys of eighteen were not so rife in these parts of the world, and above all about that time, that they could fail to put one thing with another and connect me with the bill. So it was at least. Other folk keep a secret among two or three near friends, and somehow it leaks out, but among these clansmen it is told to a whole countryside, and they will keep it for a century. * The month, as I have said, was not yet out, but it was already far through August, and beautiful warm weather, with every sign of an early and great harvest, when I was pronounced able j for my journey. Our money was now ] run to so low an ebb that we must think first of all on speed, for if we came not soon to Mr. Rankeillor’s, or if when we came there he should fail to help me, we must surely starve. In Alan’s view ‘Tm not up to you In talking back, Alan.” 1 said; “but 1 can see we’re mak ing bad worse. If it’s hard to ]iass a river, it stands to reason it must be worse to pass a sea." “But there’s such a thing as a boat.” says Alan, “or I’m the more deceived.” “Aye, and such a thing as money,” says I. “But for us tliat lu’.ve neither one nor other, they might just as well not have been invented.” “Ye think so?’ said Alan. “I do that,” said 1. “David,” says he, “ye’re a man of small invention and less faith. But let me set my wits upon the hono, and if 1 cannae beg, borrow nor yet steal a boat I’ll make one!” [TO BE CONTINUED.! Bucklen s Arnica Salve.

At the door of the first house we came to Alan knocked, which was no very safe tnterprise in such a part of the high lands as the Braes of Balquidder. Chance served ns very well, for it was a household of Maclarens that wn found, where Alan was not only welcome for his name's sake, but known by reputa tion. Here, then, I was to go to bed withont delay, and a doctor fetched, who found me in a sorry plight. But whether because he was a very good doctor, or 1 a very young, strong man, I lay bedrid den for no more than a week, and before a month I was able to take the road again with a good heart. All this time Alan wonld not leave me, though I often pressed him, #nd in deed his foolhardiness in stayini was a common subject of ontcry with rhp two or three friends that were let iiJo the accrat.

But if stave on I drug Store. straight to the auld Brig’ of Sterling, j I’ll lay my sword they let us pass un challenged.” The first night accordingly we pushed to the honse of a Maclaren in Stratshire, a friend of Duncan’s, where we slept the twenty-first of the month, and whence we set forth again about the fall of night to make another easy stage. The twenty-second we lay in a heather bush on a hillside in Uain Var, within view of a herd of the deer, the happiest ten hours of sleep in a fine breathing sunshine and on bone dry ground that I have ever tasted. That night we struck Allan Water and followed it down, and coming to the edge of the hills saw the whole carseof Stirling un der foot, as flat as a pancake, with the town and castle on a hill in the midst of it, and the moon shining on the Links •>{ Forth. “Now,” said Alan, “I kennae if ye care, but ye’re in your own land again. We passed the hieland line in the first hour; and now if we conld bnt pass yon crooked water, we might cast our bon nets in the air.” As soon as the dusk began to fall we struck for the bridge of Stirling, keeping to the fields and under the field fences. The bridge is close under the castle hill, an old, high, narrow bridge with pinnacles along the parapet, and there seemed to be no guard upon the passage. I was for pushing straight across, but Alan was more wary. At last there came by an old, hobbling woman with a crutch stick, who first stopped a little, close to where we lay, and bemoaned herself and the long way she had traveled, and then set forth %gain up the steep spring of the bridge. The woman was so little that we soon lost sight of her, and only heard the sound of her steps and her stick drawn slowly farther away. She’s bound to be across now,” 1 whispered. Nae," said Alan; “her foot still sounds boss [hollow] upon the bridge.” And just then, “Who goes?” cried a voice, and we hear the butt of a ninskot rattle on the stones. “This’ll never do," said Alan. “This’ll never, never do for ns, David.” And withont another word he began to crawl away throngh the fields, and a little after, lieing well out of eyeshot, got to his feet again and struck along a road that led to the eastward. “Well?’ said 1. “Well,” said Alan, “what wonld yon have? They’re none such fools as 1 took them for. We have still the Forth to pass, Davie—weary fall the rains that fed and the hillsides that guided it!” “And why go east?” said I. “Oh, just upon the chance!” said he. “If we cannae pass the river we 11 have to see what we can do for the firth.” “There are fords upon the river and none upon the firth,” said I. “To be sure there are fords and a bridge forby,’ quoth Alan; “and of what service when they are watched?' “Well,” said I, “but a river can be swum." “By them that have the skill of it,” returned he; “bnt I have yet to hear that either you or me is much of a hand at that exercise; and for my part I swim like a stone." gans to perform their functions.
