"It's nothing but Bogbonny's bull, Ranald!" he cried. Kelpies were unknown creatures to Turkey, but a bull was no more than a dog or a sheep, or any other domestic animal. I, however, did not share his equanimity, and never slackened my pace till I got up with him. "But he's rather ill-natured," he went on, the instant I joined him, "and we had better make for the hill."
Murray urged Ranald to join this class, for, even though he had no intention of becoming a minister, still the study would be good for him, and would help him in his after career. She remembered how Ranald had told her that he had no intention of being a farmer or lumberman.
Come along!" "It is quite impossible, Harry," said Ranald, "and I want you to take this note to Maimie. The note will explain to her." "But, Ranald, this is " "And, Harry, I want to tell you that this is my last day here." Harry gazed at him speechless. "Mr. St. Clair and I have had a difference that can never be made right, and to-night I leave the office for good." "Leave the office for good?
"You must keep a sharp look-out though, Ranald," he said; "for they'll be mad enough, and you must keep them off with your cap." He took off his own, and gave it to Elsie, saying: "Here, Elsie: you must look out, and keep off the bees. I can tell you a sting is no joke. I've had three myself." "But what are you to do, Turkey?" asked Elsie, with an anxious face.
I will just be horrid to both of them, and they'll go away! But, oh, dear, things are all wrong! Poor Ranald," she said to herself, "I wonder if he will come to the picnic on Saturday?" Kate looked at her friend a moment and wiped away her tears. "Indeed I hope he will not," she said, indignantly, "for I know you mean to just lead him on. I have a mind to tell him."
He's pay de cash money and he's mak eet de good posish for him, an' set him up the champagne, too, by gar!" "Huh," grunted Ranald. "Run that crib around the boom there LeNoir; break it up and keep your gang moving to-day!" "Bon!" said LeNoir, with alacrity. "I give 'em de big move, me!"
"Indeed, it is the slouch I am," said Ranald, and he hurried off to the stable, returning in a very short time with the pony saddled. "You would not care to go with your uncle, Maimie?" said Mrs. Murray, as Lambert drove up Black in the buggy. "No, auntie, I think not," said Maimie. "I will take care of Hughie and the baby." "Good by, then, my dear," said Mrs. Murray, kissing her.
"She apparently thinks something of you." "I am proud to think so," replied Ranald, his face lighting up as he spoke; "but every one loves her. She is a wonderful woman, and good." "Yes," said Mr. St. Clair, "that's it; wonderful and good." Then Maimie drew nearer. "How is auntie?" she said. "What a shame not to have asked before!"
"Harry is a very decent fellow," said Ranald, rising up from his unpacking; "I say, this boat's close. Let us go up on deck." "Wait," said the colonel, "I want to talk over our plans, and we can talk better here." "No," said Ranald; "I want some fresh air. Let us go up." And without further words, he hurried up the gangway.
At this juncture Kate, who had been maintaining a powerful silence, smiled upon Little Merrill, who being distinctly inflammable, and for some mysterious reason devoted to Ranald, and for an even more mysterious reason devoted to Kate, swore he'd follow if some one would lead. What could I do?
