He was, as his mother sall, very ““touchy’ about Sophy, belug quite aware that the women of Pittencraigie did not approve the change in her. “And =0 many things happen as the clock goes round,” she thought “Braelands may put himself out o' favor, or he may take himself off to far awa' country, or ‘them behind’ may sort what 1 canna man- age; sae I'll just keep a shut mouth anent the matter; one may think what one daurna ny Bac some out wi' a sponge. Christina had also reached a crisis in her own life. The feeling between Jamie Lauder and herself was that eager love which begins with love, and a week after Sophy's visit Jamie had found his opportunity to teach Christina the secret of her own heart, Sit- ting on the lonely rocks, with the moonlit sea at their feet, they had told each other how sweet it was t> love and the plans growing out of this confession, though humble enough, were full of strange hope and happy dream- ing to Christina. When Jamie got his berth in the great Scotch line she was to become his wite. Then she would have to make her home in Glasgow, and these two facts were stupendous ones to the simple fisher girl and scarcely less so to her mother, who was both pleased and fearful in the prospect “It’s a grand thing for Christina,” she said to her crony, Marget Roy, “and the lad Is a respectable lad, handsome and weel spoken o' and I'm thinking the line has got a bar- gain in him, and is proud o' it; still I'm feared for my bairn in such a wicked-like place as Glasgo'. But she'll hae a floor o' her ain, and a’ things convenient, and that's some safety and comfort. She's my one lassle, and I'm sair to lose her, but we canna stop the clock, and ye ken, Marget, that marriage is like death—:t is what we must a' come to." “‘Weel, Janet, your Christina has been lang spared from it."” ‘Christina has had her offers, but what will you? We must wait for the right man or 80 to the de'll wi' the wrang one.” “You'll be lanely enouw’ wanting her, for I'm hearing Andrew Binnle isna to be kept single much langer, and:Sophy Tralll canna fill Christina’s shoes.” 4 “Sophy's weel and it is Andrew enou’, She suits Andrew. hasitoclive wi' her. nd you, t0o, mistress.” ot L. Andrew is €o huild his ain bigging I hae the life o' mine. “But I'll be a deal in Glasgo'. ~Jamie has his heart fairly set on that.” She made this stafement with an air of prideful satisfaction, #nd Mistress Roy was not inclined to let her ®nter anew into all the fine sights she was to see, the grand guns of preachers she was fo lear, and the trips to Greenock and Rothesay, ‘which, Jamie said, “would just fall naturafly In the way o thelr ordinary life. L “I'll be going," sall Marget, abruptly. “I hae the kitkyard to ‘pass and between the day and the dark .iUs a mournfu’ epot.” “It is,” answered Mistress Binoie. “Folks shouldna be on the road,when the bodiless gang aboot; they are like (o be in the way o' them, and might get ill to themsel's. And here comes Jamie and. Christina, and nae doubt they'll be wanting a mouthfu’, for loye is cold porridge, But Jamie was off to the boats in a hurry, and Christina was not hungry; she sat down with her mother to talk over again what they had discussed a hundred times before—the wedding dress and the weiding feast, and the napery and plenishing she was to have for her own home, and somehow as they talked thus confidentially Christina told her mother what Sophy had said about Archie Braelands. For a moment Janet Binnie was glad; then she lifted the poker and struck a block of coal into a score of pleces, and with the blow scattered the unkindly, selfish thoughts which had invaded her heart. “It is what I expected,” she answered gloomily, “‘but say naething to Andrew. He is wise enou’ to tak’ his ain way, though God knows nane can play the fool like a wise man! But what then? Is there anything to gain by word or warning? Naething. And if Andrew Is to hae the fling and the buffet, he will tak’ it better from Sophy than from any ither body. Let be Christina.” “Folks will talk anon.” “They are talking already. Do you think [ didna hear this clash before? Lucky Sims d Marget Roy, and every fleh wife In Pittencraigle ken the beginning and the end o it. They hae seen this, and they hae heard that, and_they think the very worst that can be. The first calamity is to be born a woman, and it sets the door open for every other sorrow, the mair so if the lass Is bonnie id alane in the werld, For myzel' I'm thinking nae wrong o' Scphy, its Andrew that is in fault.

I hae told him, and better told him, to bring Sophy | here, but naething but having her a' to him- sel' will he hear tell o’. It's pure wicked selfishness in the lad! He canna thole her giving look or word that isna for him, and him his lane. Parfect scand'lous selfishness!” “Whist, mother! I'm thinking he's most at the door step. That's his foot, or I'm much mista’en. “Then I'm awa' to ‘Lizzie Robertson's. My heart is knocking at my lips, and I'll be saying what I'll want to unsay. Keep a calm sough, Christina. Let Andrew do the talk ing, and you'll be a’ right.” Andrew entered with that air of strength and capability o dear to the women of a household. He had on his kirk suit, and Christina thought as he sat down by the open window how much handsomer he looked in his blue Guernsey and fishing cip. “‘You'll be needing a mouthfu’, Andrew?" she asked but Andrew shook hix head, and answered “I had my tea wi' Sophy. Where Is mother?" She's awa' to Lizzie Robertson's. The bairn is still sick, and mother will stay by it till the night turns.” “And Jamie?" “He sald he was going to the fishing. He'll hae caught the boat, or ho would hae been back here again.” “Then we're our lane, anl I've been seek- ing this hour. I hae things to tell you, Christina, that must go no further—not even to mother—unless the time comes. I'll not ask you to give me your word. You're Christina Binnie, and that is enough.” “That is enough, Andrew. You and and God our witness.” *‘Christina, I hae been this day to Edin- burgh. I hae £600 in my pocket, besides the me, “Then TNl be Captain Binnie, of the siller ben the house. I hae sold three shares in the ‘Sure-Giver' and as you ken, I've been saving siller ever since I first put on my sea boots.” ‘I hae thought fault, Andrew.” “I ken fine that it is my besetting sin. Many's the time I hae forced mysel’ to give a white shilling instead o' a penny b't at the Kirk door, just that I might get the better o' the dell. But 1 hae been saving for a pur- pose, and now I'm most ready to tak’ my desire. What think you? I am goiug to put my siller in a carrying steamer, ane o' the Red-White fleet, and I'm going to be Ler skipper, and sail her from the North Sea to London. She'll hold 3,000 ‘trunks’ of fish in her ice chan.bers, and with good weather I'll make London in forty hours at the outside, Then I'll be Captain Binnie o’ the North Sea fleet, and Sophy will hae reascn enough for her muslins and ribbons, and trinkums- trankums. God bless her!” “I'm proud to hear tell o' it, Andrew. It you hae the siller, and the skill, why shouldn't you lift yoursel' a bit? Sophy willna shame any place you put her in—and you may own a fishing fleet yoursel’ some day." “I'm thinking o' it," he answered, with the air of a man who feels himself master of his destiny. “‘Come wi' me, Christina.” He led her Into the inner room, moved aside a heavy chest of drawers, and lifted a short plank beneath them. Then putting his arm far under the flooring, he pulled forth a locked tin box, and opening it, dis- played to Christina a hoard of soverelgns and Bank of England bills. The money in his pocket was added to this treasured store; the flooring and drawers replaced and then with- out a word brother ard sister left the room together. There was « look of exultation on Christina’s face, as Andrew asked: “You un- saving slller was your one she answered, “and I ken weel, that Andrew Binnie isna moving with- out knowledge.” “I'm not moving at all for three months or longer. The ship I want is in dry dock until winter, and its the siller I'm anxious about. If I should go (o the fishing some night and never come back, it would be the same as if it went down with me—not a soul but mysel' knowing it was there. But L'l be happier now, for if that thing happens, you must take the money out o' hiding and give Sophy Traill one-half o end the | other half'is for mother and yourself. And, above a' things, I charge you never to name to mortal creiture the whereabouts o' the hiding." “Your worls are in my heart, Andrew, and | they'll never pass my lips." That's enough o' the siller then, 1 had a happy day, Christina. Sophy was wi' me to Edinburgh, and the beauty o' her! And the sweet innocence and lovesomeness o' her ways! 1 bought her a ring wi’ a shining stone in it, and a gold brooeh, and a bonnie plece o' white muslin, with the lace for the trimming o' it, and the joy of the lassie set me laughing wi' delight! I wouldna call the queen my cousin this night," ““Sophy cught to love you wi' all her heart, Andrew."” “‘She has arled her heart and her hand to I thank the Best for this great merey!" nd you can trust her without a doubt, Andrew?" “I have as much falth in Sophy as I have my bible ‘That's the way to trust. It's the way 1 trust Jamie, though bad hearts and i1l tongues are aye ready to gle one a sense o' sus- picion They canna gle me a moment's trouble. Kirsty Johnson called after me this morning ~‘tak’ tent to yoursel', Andrew Binnie; a beauty is hard to catch and waur to keep" and I didna answer her by word or lock 1 ken weel woman's tongues canna be s not even by the fourth commandment.” Never had Christina felt ppy as on this night. Jamle had been so tender, so tull of anticipation, so proud of his love and his future, and Andrew had chosen ber for his confidant. But some divine necessity of lite ever joins joy and sorrow together, and while her heart was bounding with gladness she heard footsteps that gave it a shock. They were Jamie's footsteps, and even while An- drew was speaking, he enterad the cottage. | Andrew looked at him with a quick piclon, and sald, deurly: “You said you would tak’ my place. I see you canna be trusted.’ “I have earned a reproof, Andrew, but I'l | no lle about the matter I met a friend, and | be was poor and thirsty, end 1 took to the tavern and gave him a e and a sup. | Then the whisky set us talking, and I forgot the fishing, and the boats went awa' without m have in en sus A nice 1ad you'll be to trust in a big ship ' men and women.

But she triendly as she wished. It was love out of time. and place and season. She would rather be had been with the boats and her mind also was full of Androw's revelation; she wantel to bo alone to realize all that it meant the Interview was cold and constrained Jamie was offended, and finally went quite out of temper. He kicked the in the path out of his way, muttering “I'm no caring! I'm no caring! The moral pride o' thae Binnies is ridic'lusl. One would require to be a vera saint to come within sight o' them," This cloud was, however, but a passing one, and the mext few weeks went by, as time does go, when love and hope brighten every hour. The fishing season was un- usually good, the men were making money, and the women had Christina’s marriage, and marriage presents to talk about Every now and then some relative sent her a plece of home-spun_linen and each article examined and discussed by all the wives and maids in Pittencraigle. Christina and her mother had no objections to this kind of popularity, nor was Jamie averse to the good natured freedom Andrew's love affairs were not as promis- ing. Sophy came less and less to the village, she sald “her aunt had gone to Perth, for a bit of a holiday, and the shop couldna be left to tak' care o' itself,” and the excuse seemed to be a good one. At any rate it satisfied Andrew. He made a deal of money during the fishing season, and was evidently, to Christina, preparing for some great change. He went frequently to Edinburgh, and on his return always gave her a glance full of the assurance of success. And for some weeks he appeared to be very happy with Sophy; then thero was a sudden change, and Christina noticed that he often came back from Largo with a heavy step and a grave face. Occasionally he admitted he had been “sairly disappo'nted”’—Sophy had gone away for a week's rest, or she had a headache and coudna see him; or there was a bride’s dress making, and she couldna spare a moment the excuses were numerous and varied, and finally they began to cause a sad and fearing wonder even in Andrew’s trusting heart, One morning in early October Jamie got his long looked for appointment, and he ran bastily up to the Binnie cottage to tell Chris- tna and bid her “gool-by.” And his oy was 0 great as he kissed her tears away, and he spoke 8o kindly to Mistress Binnie and so bravely to Andrew that it was impossible to feel anything but a glad excitement in his departure. After he was fairly out of sight Andrew called Christina to the top of the cluff, and they sat down together. It was an exquisite morn'ng, full of the salt and sparkle, the motion and burst of the sea, and they sat silent awhile, looking down on the cottages, the creels, and the grown nets, the picturesque figures in sea-boots, and striped hanging caps, and the no less picturesque companion figures in striped petticoats. Some of the latter were old women, and wore high-crowned unbordered caps; others were young ones, with no covering on their exuberant hair, but with long rings in their ears ,and bright scarlet kerchiefs on their necks. Andrew glanced from these things to his sister, and touching her striped petticoat, said: “Yowll be changing that soon for what they ca’ a gown. I am going to buy you a silk gown for your wedding, Christina.” You'll set me up beyond everything, if do, Andrew. I'll never forget such a conld not be as o and away angrily you tavor. e “Christina, I'm no' very happy mysel'. Then he told her plainly how difficult he found it to get sight or speech with Sophy, and how low-spirited she was with him. “I'm feared she's ill” he said, drearily. “You ken her mother died o' a consumption when she was but a young thing.” “‘Andrew, hae you told Sophy what your plans are? Hae you told her she may be lady and live in London some o' these days? Hae you told her you'll be Captain Binnie o' the North Sea fleet?" “Nae, nae! What would # bribe the las- for?

He would likely have his tea with Sophy and walk back afterward. But in mid- afternoon she heard his step and she put down the iron with & sudden faint feeling and turned her face to the door. Andrew entered the cottage, looked at her d~'5|lu.|r< ingly and, sinking into his chair, covered his wretched face with his hands. It was not the same man who had left her a few hours before. A change like that which a hot iron would make upon a fresh leaf had been made in her handsome, happy, hopeful brother. She could not avoid an exclamation that was a cry of terror, and she went to im and kissed him and murmured, she “Ay, T see the mark o and of love. shake and knew not what, words of pity He began to weep, to sob, to tremble like a reed in a tempest, She closed the door and slipped the bolt In and cam. back to his side. ‘“Andrew, my brother An- drew,” she said, softly, “what sorrow has come to you?

Five minutes afterward she stepped softly to his side. He was sunk In deep sleep, fathoms below the tide of sorrow, whose waves and billows had gone over him. anks be to the Moreltul!” she whispered. “When the sorrow is too great, then He giveth His beloved, sleep.” (To be continued Tuesday.) to Heaven Pretty Hot. Will there be another sea of Sodom? Lieutenant Lynch of (he United States Navy, says the Philadelphia Press, has established the fact, previously not known with consum- mate accuracy, that the depression of the Dead sea (also known as the Sea of Lot, and in the scriptures as the Salt sea), is over 1,300 feet below the level of the Mediterra nean, while that of Lake Genesarel Is 800 foet lower than the ocean. The measurements were made twenty years ago, a long perlod In a semi-volcanic region. Lake Genesaret I& connected with the Dead sea by the Jor- don flowing through it from north to south, and engineers and scientists are satisfled that the bed of the Jordon is gradually sink- ng. Observations of the shores of Lake Genesaret, and those of the inhabitants of the nelghboring towns and villages, indicate that the lake is continually falling toward the bottom, while the water is becoming denser from year to year. The salt strata in its neighborhood are growing constantly, it seems, and sulphur springs are becoming fre- quent on the plains surrounding it. 1In the north and east of the lake the palm trees some of them allve, more of them dead an barren, rise above the water at a distance of from twenty to forty feet from the shore. That they should have taken' root in the water is impossible, and the supposition is that originally they stood on little islands that were submerged with the sinking of the lako's bottom. The catastrophe which resulted in the de- struction of the cities of Sodom and Go- morrah and in the formation of the Dead sea is computed to have oceurred about 1,900 years before Christ. The Dead sea has puz- zled scientists ever since, and many of its remarkable features have now been ex- plained. Its depression below the level of the Mediterranean is the deepest known on earth. The bottom of Lake Genesaret is on a much higher level at present, but it it continues to sink as it has done in the last twenty years, a repetition of the events of 4,000 years ago is not improbable. As the world has not been treated to a spectacle of terrestrial evolutions on a grand scale within hundreds of years, the creation of the second Dead sea ‘within the compass of ordinary travel would surely attract the at- tention of all clvilized nations, and at the same time help to solve many problems of a scientific nature, Josephus, who was born in 37 B. C., re- ports that the water of Genesaret was ‘‘clear as crystal, sweet and wholesome.” 1 tried to drink it, but found it putrid and nauseating. It left a salty taste In the mouth. T asked the fishermen plying their trade on the lake as in bibical days whether the water was al- ways unfit for drinking purposes, and re- ceived answer that it grew more aud more foul every year. This scems to indicate that the surmises as to the change of conditions in the lake are correct. The water of the Dead Sea, as is well known, is entirely unfit for use by man. The stench arising from it creates & pestilential atmosphere for many mliles around. I have never been able to approach the lake in summer, but the natives have in- formed me that about this time of year the water, even a foot below the surface, a quires a temperature of 90 degrees. It has been observed that past midnight the tem perature of the water on the surface mea ures in the nelghborhood of 100 degrees. There Is, however, one false impression in the public mind to be corrected. The Dead Sea is not dead as to animal life, Hawks, partridges, frogs and pigeons are numerous uponits shores, and all sorts of crawling in- sects abound there; the sluggish waters, too, are covered with ducks—in fact, the fauna i8 the same as that inhabiting the shores of Lake Genesaret, with this difference, how- ever: All specimens of the animal world about the Dead Sea are slate colored, while those enlivening the shores of Lake Genes- aret wear their ordinary plumage and scaly dress respectively. Tho Lake Genesaret, also called the Sea of Tiberias, or Galilee, is situated 65 miles north of the Dead Sea. Its extreme length is 15 miles, its greatest width 6% miles. The water is very deep, even at the shores. In some spots the depth measures 160 feot, In others 750 and more. In the northeast and northwest the shores are flat and swampy; the mountains of Safed approach the lake on the north; in the west we have the hills of El-Hanima and Hattin, The voleanic plateau of Jordan begins in the east; it s distin- guished for many dead craters; its greatest helght is called” Hermon, and it wears an eternal snow-cap. Palms that bring forth no fruit, papyrus plants and oleander flourish in the neighborhood of the shores. The stones at the edge of the water are literally coy- 1 with turtles, some of which grow over a foot and a half long.
