Each one could see, through the intervening growth, the watch-towers of the ranch; but Friday, from his post in the tree to the "east," could see the area best, and it was Friday to whom Carse's next words were addressed. "Eclipse?" his terse voice asked. "Do the guards in the towers seem to notice anything?" The big Negro strained cautiously for a better view. "No, suh, Cap'n Carse.
A chair was entering, on each side of which walked a footman, whose livery Lady Carse well knew. Her handsome face, red before, was now more flushed. She put her mouth close to the window, and said, "If it had been anybody but Lovat you would not have been rid of me this evening. I would have stood among the chairmen till midnight for the chance of getting in.
His tone was excited and his manner distraught. "Yes?" the Hawk muttered thickly. "What is it?" "It's the asteroid, sir! I was instructed to watch it at intervals, but I I guess I fell asleep, and just now " Carse sat up. "Yes? What?" " when I looked, through the glasses it was gone!" "Gone? You're sure? Let me see."
Having chosen a hundred of his most active and experienced men Archie set out for the north. Crossing the Forth above Stirling, he marched through Perth and across the Carse of Gowrie through Forfar on to Montrose. Here he left his band, and taking with him only William Orr, both being attired in peasants' dress, followed the coast till he reached Dunottar.
Adam had cried yesterday about the widow going away; but he had been forbidden to cry about what would make Lady Carse so much happier; and when Kate had whispered to him that Lady Carse would no longer live in their house, Adam had presently dried his tears, and began to plan how he would meet the widow sometimes on the western sands, to pick up the fine shells she had told him of.

Gracefully, he drew close. Carse missed not a move. He watched the Eurasian draw, from one of the long sleeves of his blouse, a square of lustrous black silk. "This bears my personal insignia, you see," he murmured. "You will remember it." And he languidly waved it just under their eyes. Friday stared at it; Carse too, wonderingly.
"If not, you must go for it, and never again touch it without my leave." "I took it," said Lady Carse; "and I cannot spare it." "It cannot be spared from this room, my lady. It never left this room before but by my order, and it never must again." "It shall never leave the place where it now is," declared Lady Carse, reddening.
It was next believed that a commission of enquiry would be soon sent to this and other islands: but this could not take place until the public tranquillity should be in some degree restored. "Before that, I shall be dead," sighed Lady Carse, impatiently. "There is no need now to wait for the commission," said the President. "Where I am, all violations of the law must cease.
Lady Carse found it vexatious that darkness was coming on. She had a purpose; but the sun did not set the later, nor promise to rise the earlier, on that account. When the widow set before her some oaten bread and dried fish, she ate, without perceiving that none was left for her hostess.
