But he was the brother of Christobel and, that transfigured him ia Alick t'arquhar's eyes and veiled his grosser qualities. One day, as Bob was on his way home from school, Aliok hailed him. Bob looked round warily, and went on his way. The day before he had caught a glimpse of Alick through a window, trying on his new uniform, and had saluted the martial apparition with a yell of derision. Aliek's sword got between his legs in an attempt to pursue his insultor, and Bob now thought prudence was the bettor part of valour.

In this happy frame of mind he went down to "Come back, you silly little fool!" sheated the pond to fish for tadpoles. On what trivial Alick. I'm not going to toneh you. Come aosidents hang the destinies of lovers! It hap-

His eyes dwelt lovingly on the towers of the Gotlie minster, and the vane on the schoolhouse close beside it, on the apex patch of green marking the playing fields, and the solid dark brick Georgian masters' houses, with pleasant gardens stretch- ing behind the embraced by the straggling streets of the quiet town. Bappy memories. such as English boys carry away of their schooldays, thranged Alick's mind as he looked. Laurels won at cricket and football, prizes at sports, and long rambles ou half-holidays, when every copse and stream in the country side was explored. And, intermixed with the joy of the triumphs and the fan, the gh face of Chris Melbury ever shone out. Bob's elder brothers, now out in the world, had been Alick's school clums, and out of school he had spent half his time at the Melburys' honse.

She was never one of your stuck up girls," he mused. She'd rather go out with us boys fishing or butterfly catching, or oven bird neet- ing and rabbiting, than play any silly girls games. And she know all about the things fellows are for: cricket and football news, and rans of the bounds, and now though she's grown up she's just the same, never wanting to dress up and go to swell parties or anything like that. I'm sure she loves me, if only they'd let her, she never changes akout, she's as staunch as-as the Minster there.

"It was awful rough of her pater to make me promise I wouldn't try to meet her. I couldn't help it, as he said as he'd send her away if I didn't, but he never said anything about writing. I s'pose he looks at all her letters. Well, I haven't asked her to sas me, I've only asked her to send me just a few words to carry with me here."

And Alick slapped his broad chest.

"I asked her to put it in the hollow tree where we used to keep bait and things: that will be safer than trusting that little beast Bob
