"There's sorrow on the wind, my grief, there's sorrow on the wind!" — Song. I give here, in narrative form, a story of two, one of whom I knew ; and some will know " Father Angus, " from whom also I heard it. Rury Macarthur died over a year ago, but not in his own place. He had gone away after Maev left, and settled behind the mainland coast, on an inland-lying farm where the cry of the seamew never came and where even from the last ridges of the upland the grey line of the sea never wavered on... the horizon. " It was the wet poor land and the loneliness out yonder that brought him here, " the neighbours said. But I, who knew him, think that there was in his mind another rea- son also. It is for that I credit the singular story of a herd-lad, who said his master could never abide the crying o' peewits, and that he 135 Sorrow on the IVind had time upon time seen him Hft an arm and shake it at the score or more wheehng lap- wings, saying at them swift, hoarse words in GaeHc ; but that once, when a single peewit kept drifting and wailing above him as he walked up Netherton Brae, the tears were coming out of his eyes and down his face, like an old woman crying silently in the gloaming.
