"Tell me, Jack," said Harry, "what was taking you to our cottage to-day?" "I wanted to see you, man," replied Jack, "and ask you to come to the Irvine games. You know I am the piper of the place. There will be dancing and singing." "Thank you, Jack, but it's impossible." "Impossible?" "Yes; Mr. Starr's visit will last some time, and I must take him back to Callander." "Well, Harry, it won't be for a week yet. By that time Mr. Starr's visit will be over, I should think, and there will be nothing to keep you at the cottage." "Indeed, Harry," said James Starr, "you must profit by your friend Jack's invitation." "Well, I accept it, Jack," said Harry. "In a week we will meet at Irvine." "In a week, that's settled," returned Ryan. "Good-by, Harry! Your servant, Mr. Starr. I am very glad to have seen you again! I can give news of you to all my friends. No one has forgotten you, sir." |
