i
rivu letters among the heap waiting
on my table In London made my heart
beat quick, but with how different feel
ings, one from Graeme telling me that
Craig had been very , ill and that he
was to take him home as soon as he
dould be moved. Mrs. Mavor’s letter
told me of the death of the old lady,
who had been her care for the past
two years, and of her intention to
spend some months in her old home In
Edinburgh, and this letter it is that ac
counts for my presence Jn a miserable,
dingy, dirty little hall running off a
close in the historic Cowgate, redolent
of the glories of the splendid past and
of the various odors of the evil smell
ing present. I was there to hear Mrs.
Mavor sing to the crowd of gamins
that thronged the closes in the neigh
borhood and that had been gathered
Into a- club by “a fine leddle frae the
west end” for the love of Christ and
his lost. ^Ihis was an "at home” night,
and the mothers and fathers, sisters
and brothers, of all ages and sizes,
were present. Of all the sad faces I
had ever seen those mothers carried
the saddest and .most woe stricken.
"Heaven pity us!” J found myself r' y-
irig. "Is this the beautiful, the cul
tured, the heaven exalted city of Edin
burgh? Will it not for this be cast
down into hell some day if it repent
not of its closes and their dens of de
filement? Oh, the utter weariness,'the
dazed hopelessness, of the ghastly
faces! Do not the kindly, gentle
churchgoing folk of the crescents and
the gardens see them in their dreams,
or are their dreams too heavenly for
these ghostly faces to appear?
I cannot recall the programme of the
evening, but in my memory gallery Is
a vivid picture of that face, sweet,
sad, beautiful, alight with the deep
glow of her eyes, as she stood and sang
to that dingy crowd. As I silt upoti the
window ledge listening to the voice
with its flowing song my thoughts were
far away, and I was looking down
onqe more upon the eager, coal grimed
faces in the rude little church in Black
Rock. I was brought back to find my
self swallowing hard by an audible
whisper from a wee lassie to her moth
er:
Wither! See till yon man. He’s
greetin’.”
When I came to myself, she was
singing "The Land o’ the Leal,” the
Scotch "Jerusalem, the Golden,” im
mortal, perfect; It needed experience
of the hunger haunted Cowgate closes,
chill wftli the black inist of an eastern
haar, to fee! the full bliss of the vision
of the words:
"There’s nae sorrow tjiere, Jean;
■ There’s neither cauld nor care, Jean;
The flay is aye fair in
The Land o’ the Leal.’’
A land of fair, warm days, untouched
by sorrow and care, would be heaven
indeed to the dwellers of the Cowgate.
The rest of that evening is hazy
enough to mo now till I find myself
opposite Mrs. Mavor nt her fire, read
ing Graeme’s letter. Then all is vivid
again.
I could not keep the truth from her.
I knew it would be folly to try. So I
read straight on till I came to the
Words: "He has had mountain fever,
whatever that may be, and-lie will not
pull up again. If I can, I shall take
him home to my mother,” when she
suddenly stretched out her hand, say
ing, "Oh, let me read!” and I gave her
the letter. In a minute she had read
it and began almost breathlessly:
"Listen. My life is much changed.
My mother-in-law is gone. She needs
me no longer. My solicitor tells me,
too, that, owing to unfortunate invest
ments, there is need of money, so
groat need that it is possibj^ that ei
ther the estates or the works must go.
My cousin' has his all in the works-
iron works, you know. It would be
wrong to have him suffer. I shall
give up the estates. That is best.’J’
She paused.
d come with me!” I cried,
en do you pail?”
“Next week,” I answered eagerly.
She looked at me a few moments,
and into her eyes there came a light
soft and tender as she said:
“I shall go with you.”
’And so she did, and no old Roman in
all the glory of a triumph carried a
prouder heart than I as I bore her and
her little one from the train to
Graeme’s carriage, crying:
"I’ve got herl”
But his was the better sense, for he
stood waving his hat and shouting,
"Hc'h mm right!” at which Mrs. Mavor
grew ike. but when she shook hands

ver try a cablegramr v ’
And th'e red grew deeper in the beau
tiful face beside ub.
Never did the cotmtry look so love
ly. The woods were in their gayest
autumn dress; the brown fields were
bathed in a purple haze; the air was
sweet and fresh with a suspicion of
the coming frosts of winter. But in
spite of all the road seemed long, and
it was ns if hours had gone before our
eyes fell upon the white manse stand
ing among the golden leaves.
"Let them go!” I cried, as Graeme
paused to take in the view, and down
the sloping dusty road we flew on the
dead run..
"Reminds one a little of Abe’s
curves,” said Graeme ns we drew up
at the gate, but I answered him not,
for I was introducing to each other
the best two women in the world. As
I was about to rush into the house
Graeme seized me by the collar, say
ing:
"Hold on, Connor! You forget your
place. You're next.” .
"Why, certainly!” i cried, thankfully
enough. "What an ass I am!”
“Quite true,” said Graeme solemnly.
“Where is he?” I asked.
"At this present moment?” he asked
in a shocked voice. “Why, Connor, you
surprise me!”
"Oh, I see!”
“Yes,” lie^went on gravely; "you may
trust my mother to be discreetly at
tending to her domestic duties. She is
a great woman, my mother.”
I had no doubt of it, for at that mo
ment she came out to us with little
Marjorie in her arms.
"You have shown Mrs. Mavor to her
room, mother, I hope,” said Graeme,
but she only smiled and said:
“Run away with your horses, you sil
ly boy!” at which he solemnly shook
his head. "Ah, mother, you are deep.
Who would have ^bought it of you?"
That evening the manse overflowed
with joy, and the days that followed
were like dreams set to sweet music.
But for sheer wild delight nothing in
my memory can quite come up to the
demonstration organized by Graeme,
with assistance from Nixon, Shaw,
Sandy, Abe, Geordie and Baptiste, in
honor of the arrival in camp of Mr. and
Mrs. Craig, and in my opinion it added
something to the occasion that after all
the cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Craig had
died away and after all the hats had
come down Baptiste, who had never
taken his eyes from that radiant face,
should suddenly have swept the crowd
into n perfect storm of cheers by ex
citedly seizing his toque and qalling out
iu his shrill voice:
"By gar! Tree cheer for Mrs. Mavor!”
AiVcl for many a day the men of Black
Rock would ensily fall into the old and
well loved name, but up and down the
line of construction, in all the camps
beyond the Great Divide, the new
name became as dear as the old had
ever been in Black Rock.
Those/ old wild days are long since
gone into the dim distance of the past.
They will not come again, for we have
fallen into quiet tinges. But often in
my quietest hours I felt my heart
pnuse in its beat to hear again that
strong, clear voice, like the sound of a
trumpet, bidding us to be men, nnd'l
think of them all—Graeme, their chief;
Sandy, Baptiste, Geordie, Abe, the
Campbells, Nixon, Shaw, all stronger,
better, for tlieir knowing of him, and
then I think of Billy asleep under the
pines and of old man Nelson'Svith the
long grass wuving over him in the
quiet churchyard, and all my nonsense
leaves me, and I bless the Lord for all
his benefits, but chiefly for the day 1
met the missionary of Black Rock in
the lumber camp among the Selkirks.
THE END.
Ghosts would frighten many peo
ple who are not afriad of germs. Yet
the germ is a real danger. If this
microscopic animalism could be mag
nified to a size in proportion to its
dffadliness it would show like a gi
ant python, or fire-breathing drag
on. n.’he one fact to remem/ber is
that the germ is powerless to' harm
the body when the blood is pure. It
is far easier to keep the germ out
than to drive it out after jit obtains
a hold in the system. Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery is the
most powerful and perfect of blood-
purifying medicines. .It increases
the quantity as well as the quality
of the blood, and enables the body
toiresibt disease, or to throw it oft' if
disease has obtained a footing in
some weak organ. Wherever the di
gestion is impaired, the nutrition of
the body is diminished, for the
blood is made from the food which
is eaten, and half digested food can
not supply the body with blood in
quantity and quality adequate to its
needs. For this condition there is
no remedy equal to “Golden Medi
cal Discovery.” It cures 98 out of
every 100 persons who give it a fair
trial. Where there is constipation
Dr. ’i Pleasant Pellets w'll
promptly relieve and permanently
cure.
