"Tell him to go quickly," she said to Hamish, "for I must have something instead of luncheon if we have a minute at the station." And Miss White, as the cab rolled away, felt pleased with herself. It was a brave act. "It is the least I can do for the sake of my bonny Glenogie," she was saying to herself, quite cheerfully. "And if Mr. Lemuel were to hear of it?

She was thinking that she had never before seen Glenogie look so soldier-like and handsome. The few days of grace obtained by the accident that happened to Major Stuart fled too quickly away, and the time came for saying farewell. With a dismal apprehension Macleod looked forward to this moment.

she was humming thoughtlessly to herself as she stood with her hands uplifted to her head, revealing the beautiful lines of her figure, "But Bonnie Glenogie's the flower o' them a'; Wi' his milk-white steed and his coal-black e'e: Glenogie, dear mither, Glenogie for me!" At length she had finished, and was ready to proceed to her immediate work of overhauling domestic affairs.

"'Glenogie, dear mither, Glenogie for me. "Of course," she said, turning round to her father, and speaking in a business-like way, though there was a spice of proud mischief in her eyes, "There is a stumbling-block, or where would the story be! Glenogie is poor; the mother will not let her daughter have anything to do with him; the girl takes to her bed with the definite intention of dying."

There was a song singing through her head; and it was all about the brave Glenogie who rode up the king's ha'. But as she turned the corner of a street, her eye rested on a huge colored placard rested but for a moment, for she would not look on the great, gaudy thing.

There was a smile on her face perhaps of pleasure, perhaps of amusement at the simplicity of the lines. However, she turned aside, and got hold of a small writing-desk, which she placed on the table. "'Oh, here is, Glenogie, a letter for thee," she hummed to herself, with a rather proud look on her face, as she seated herself and opened the desk.

She turned to the piano again. "'There is, Glenogie, a letter for thee, Oh, there is, Glenogie, a letter for thee. The first line he looked at, a light laugh laughed he; But ere he read through it, tears blinded his e'e. "How do you like the air, papa?" Mr. White did not seem over well pleased.

Well, he must know that I mean to be mistress of my own conduct. And so the poor Glenogie is really ill. I can do no harm in parting good friends with him. Some men would have made a fuss." At the station they had ten minutes to wait; and Miss White was able to get the slight refreshment she desired.

If Glenogie had there and then challenged her, and said, "Come, then, sweetheart; will you fly with me? And the proud mother will meet you. And the gentle cousin will attend on you. And Castle Dare will welcome the young bride!" what would she have said? The moment was over.

"I hope my bonnie Glenogie is not so ill as that; for he always looked like a man. And it is so much better that we should part good friends." She turned to Hamish. "There is no one on the deck of the yacht, Hamish," said she. "No, mem," said he, "the men will be at the end of the pier, mem, in the boat, if you please, mem."
