A bright flame leaped up in the fire and showed all three faces to one another Mary's face, with its quietly absorbed expression of attentive interest Reay's strongly moulded features, just now somewhat sternly shadowed by bitter memories and Helmsley's thin, worn, delicately intellectual countenance, which in the brilliant rosy light flung upon it by the fire-glow, was like a fine waxen mask, impenetrable in its unmoved austerity and calm.

Many other parties of Scotch were brought over by gentlemen of rank. Four chosen Scottish regiments, Hepburn's regiment, Lord Reay's regiment, Sir James Lumsden's musketeers, and Stargate's corps, were formed into one brigade under the command of Hepburn. It was called the Green Brigade, and the doublets, scarfs, feathers, and standards were of that colour.

One looks down into the water and sees a world of waving light, and then, looking up to the sky, there is a heaven of stars! and all the weary ways of life are forgotten! The angels seem so near!" A silent agreement with this latter statement shone in Reay's eyes as he looked at her. "It's good sometimes to find a woman who still believes in angels," he said. "Don't you believe in them?"

"Many a better woman than you have described her to be, has had to come to that." There was a silence. Presently Helmsley spoke again in a quiet voice "I think, Mr. Reay, you should tell all your mind to Miss Mary." Angus started nervously. "Do you, David? Why?" "Why? well because " Here Helmsley spoke very gently "because I believe she loves you!" The colour kindled in Reay's face.

Let her speak hear what she says and then and then tell me!" "Then tell you yes yes, I see!" And Helmsley nodded again in a fashion that was somewhat trying to Reay's patience. "But, suppose she finds fault with you, and says you are not at all the style of man she likes what then?" "Then," said Reay, gloomily "my book will never be finished!" "Dear, dear!"

By little men who cannot understand greatness," he answered "It gives a kind of 'scholarly importance' to the little men, but it leaves the great one unscathed." This talk led to many others of a similar nature between them, and Reay's visits to Mary's cottage became more and more frequent.

At any rate, Wallenstein's army was disbanded, and he retired to one of his castles. You may be sure we shall hear of him again. Tilly, you know, is the Bavarian commander, and we shall probably encounter him before long." New Brandenburg and several other towns were captured and strongly garrisoned, 600 of Reay's regiment under Lieutenant Colonel Lindsay being left in New Brandenburg.

And Reay's mellow laughter was so loud and long that Mary was quite infected by it, and laughed with him "But you see millionaires are all marked men. Everybody knows them. Their portraits are in all the newspapers horrid-looking rascals most of them! Nature doesn't seem to endow them with handsome features anyway.

He paused and pressed Reay's hand again then glanced up at the quaint sheep-faced clock that ticked monotonously against the kitchen wall. "She will be coming back from church directly," he continued "Won't you go and meet her?" "Shall I?" And Reay's face brightened. "Do!" Another moment, and Helmsley was alone save for the silent company of the little dog stretched out upon the hearth.

And she did sing that night as she had never sung to them before, with a fuller voice and more passion than she had hitherto shown, one little wild ballad in particular taking Reay's fancy so much that he asked her to sing it more than once. The song contained just three six-line stanzas, having little merit save in their suggestiveness. Oh love, my love!
