With a sharp Oath. he struck his horse smartly over the vars with his ridingâ€"whip and forced it to spring forward. nearâ€" ly uvcrturning the mendicant in its career; then. at a hand gallop. he passed rapidly up the street and out of sight. William Macgillvray. better knoWn as Willie the Prophet, was one of those extraordinary characters only to be found in the kingdom 0! Scot- land. and rapidly dying out. even there. Mean and rugged as was his appearance. he Was, nevertheless. a gentleman by birth, and in his early life had taken orders as a. minister of the Scottish Church. If the truth must be told, drink had been at the bottom of his eccmtricitics. Those who knew, said that Willie was by no means so hair-braincd - as he pretended to be; and, for some reason or other, he had friends far and Mdc. An hour or so alter the sconv, or scenes. described in the preceding chapter, Willie was wandering alone along the sea-shore beyond the tOWII. trailing his banner along the ground like lhe tail of a dog in disgrace, and oscillating wildly in his gait. He walked on unsteadily. muttering to himself. till he had left the toWn far hvhind: then. pausing. and lean- ing on his stick, he looked back- ward with lack-lustre eyes. Between the promontory and thu path he had followed, stretched many miles of rocky sands and reefs of crimson weed left, bare by the tide, which was at its lowest ebb. He Walked on for some minutes, then, pausing again, threw his banner down. and cast himself full length on the shingle, closed his eyes. and wound to go to sleep. Presently, however, he sat upright, and, after pas~zing his hum! weal-Hy across his brow, gazed at the sunaet, with a look so long. su wistful, so dummy and absent-minded, that it was some time before he perceived that he Was not alone. “Not. for worlds, laird! Lord forâ€" bid I should rob creation of :1 Shin- ing light. and an example! And you a lonely man, without an h'eir! Who would inherit. the flesh-pots and the red winns 0' Castle Hunger. if the laird o' Linno died without issue and broke his braw neck on the causeyâ€" stamps?" Just. above him. on the rough and scanty grass which fringed the shinglc's rdgc, stood a tiny figure, looking down upon him, as silent and mow-loss as himself: a Mile boy of smell or eight. years Old, whose dross consistod of a, single garment like a. girl's frockâ€"which indeed it might uncc have boonâ€"«vino wore neiâ€" ‘hex- shoes nor flog-kings, and whose long golden hair had no covering of any kind. “Gently, laird, gently!" cried Wil- Iio. purring the blow with his stick and seizing the horse's reins. “What ails you this bonnie morning?" Thou, drawing back, and bowing 10“! with mock reverence, he added, "Room for the laird o' Casuo Hunger! Room there, you imps and icons, for the great man with his pouches {11' o' sillcr to gic tn the poor!" “Out of the way, you drunken moi!" said the horseman, with a secwl, while his horse planted its fare-logs firmly, and stood panting before the Waving banner. "Do you wish me to troak my neck?" a slow trot. The horse paused sud- denly and swerved aside, nearly throwing; the riderâ€"a thin, cleanâ€" shnvcn. km-mcycd man of between forty and fiftyâ€"who uttered an angry exclamation. and aimed a, blow witfl his riding-whip at the mendicant's bare head.
