CHAPTER XlV—Continued "I know.” admitted Aggy a little brokenly. "God forgive me. Pm not meaning anything heartless. But, oh. Kob. he doesn't know this country well. And he's been through such a’ lot. I'm Just beside myself for fear something has happened to the laddie!” “We would soon have heard of It. That's why I'm not worrying about Roberta yet.*’ said Rob sternly. "You're too much of a clucking hen. Aggy. He's a grown man and you can’t keep him tied to you.” “I'm not wanting that.** asserted Aggy stoutly. “1 want him to gatig his own gait, but to let me know where he's bound.” Despite his anxiety. Robert MaeBeth could not heip laughing. "That ail you want. Aggy?” "It's not much, but I do want It.” "He'll have a wife one of these days.” said Rob" warnlngly. “Then where will you be?" “Well, your girl will have a husband one of these days." retorted Aggy defiantly, “Then where will . .you be?" ■ I.

She helped him to a chair on the terrace, and as he sank, in It. twisted her hands helplessly as she stood looking at him. “You should not stand, not even for a moment! You should be in bed. -Oh. what an obstinate man I If Aunt Aggy were to see you now.” f “Aggy will have to keep tier hands off." saM Aggy's ungrateful stepson. “Roberta, divorce is easy In; this country and I'll never hold you—if you want to go." The girl gave him a swift. flashing look. "Why did you marry me?" He looked at her In the soft light, for the storm was long since f over and the late moon was rising. He laughed. “For Just the one reason. I'm mud about every hair In your Marling red head. I could spend the rest of my life kissing the dimple in your qbeek." “I want the truth." “You've had It,” said and kissed the dimple and her mouth. Presently ilolterta drew her bead back and whis|>ered: "1 think 111 stay married to you.” He laughed softly. “You’re ensllv satisfied. I'm still a poor Scot with barren acres and a cold, old { stone house." r j “And I'm still a red-haired, hatefultempered— ’’ "Darling." said Sir George. “Ito you think you can help me to the door and face the music?’ . “Oh. here you are at Inst I” Lady Sandison came out on the terrace. “I thought I heard a car.

Aggy" ' “Was 1 not." she came nearer and perceived that Roberta's arm was about Sir <»eorge and that his face was white In the moonlight and his head bandaged as well as Ms foot. She ran to him. “Roberta Macßeth. you heartless girl, what have you been doing to my laddie?" "Marrying me, Aggy.” safd her stepson smiling. “What !" Robert Macßeth had heard their voices and such was his anxiety had risen from his wheelchair and was slowly hobbling toward them. Roberta, now that Aggy was there to support Sir George, ran to him and put her arms "about him. She led him to where, I July Sandison knelt, her arms about her boy. Rut Sir George put Aggy aside and held out his hand to Roberta. She left Robert Macßeth and wetrt to him. __ “I—we—we re married, sir. Sorry I can’t stand up.” Sir George added, sinking back into bis chair. “it was a little sudden, but I trust you won't object very strenuously.” “I do." said Robert Macßeth angrily. clutching at a chair to help him stand erect "1 do most strenuously. "Father!" cried Roberta. "Walt until you hear why he did It He wasn't In the least to blame, He did It to save me from a terrible mistake." “Nothing of the kind.” declared Sir George Indignantly. ”1 did it because • I’ve been mad about you ever since I first set eyes on you.” ? “That's the plain truth," declared Lady Sandison. “And It’s me that knows IL Let the laddie sit down on this chair, and do you Mt down yourself.

No, Rob, it was a sensible thing they did and you'll come around to their way of thinking before this night's very old. You should be In bed. Sir Geordie. I'll call August.” “You'll do nothing of the kind. I won't be managed. Aggy.” ‘ her. stepson said doggedly, though he knew he protested in vain, and to the day of her death Aggy would be openly or through Roberta trying to the Sandison family. ‘'l'm a mipr-red man. Roberta, take her away while 1 talk to your father.” f “You're in noj’tate —“ Aggy began. “Aggy." Sir George said warnlngly. “one word more from you and I’ll put my bud foot on the ground, and stamp on it.” “Mlchty me ! Behave yourself, laddie. Roberta, my iamb, these men are Jist nothing to bother about.. The "Why Didi You Marry Me?” poor lame crocks! I wonder we're so concerned with them. Leave them to their talk. Have you had anything to eat?" “George wouldn't eat. and oh. Aunt Aggy. he was so brave.” “1 believe you. my lass. Cotne, Inmbie. and tell me all about it while we gather together something to eat.” She put her arm about her niece and they wenl off together, withoutsa backward look at the two men. Sir George faced Macßeth. MacBeth looked at him a moment and then pushed his chair nearer and held out bis hand. “You look done.” he said, “we'll hobble in together and you tell me about it” “I'm the happiest man alive.” declared Sir George, holding his father-in-law's shoulder and hobbling along, “but 1 certainly feel seedy or rocky, whichever they say over here. Wbat put you on your feet, sir?” “Your marriage,’ said Macßeth grimly. "Lie down and give me the Whole tale. It looks to me Like a good one." ••Well; you see.” he sank down on the* wide davenport, "ft's a wild tale.’ Roberta, sparkling-eyed and red cheeked, lovely despite her damaged dress and burnt fingers, came to the doorway. “On the whole, sir. 1 think my wife could tell It belter than I cun. It’s a quaint tale. Isn’t it. Bobbie." “It's the most thrilling thing you’ve ever heard." said Roberta. Uidy Sandison. “but well have to wait for the Dowager Lady Sandison to come in.

All Accorded Honour in Scottish War Memorial

No one seems to be forgotten tn Scotland's wonderful war memorial which la built on the rock of Edinburgh. There it stands glowing with the carved and colored badges of every Scottish regiment that served In the World war. while In bronze friezes or stalned-glaus windows, sailors, artillerymen. airmen, chaplains, nurses and other workers are depleted. E'en birds and l>easts have their memorials. Carved on the walls are the words “Remember also the humble beasts that served and died." Then come medallions framing the beads of a horse, a mule, a camel. a message dog. and other animals.* with a cage of carrier pigeons and a group of canaries and mice inscribed. “The tunnelers' friends.” because these little creatures are used underground. where their swift collapse when the air becomes poisonous is a warning to men. In the shrine is a block of marble set ou the rock which rises through the floor, and on this block is a casket given by the king and queen incioaiug books containing the name of every V. . ’ How Ho Benefited Blinkers looked at bls. doctor.

waved aside all assistance and put it on the table near Sir George, and began to arrange it for him. “I bad this ready against your coming,” she said withz-a satisfied air. "You’re a pair of poor looking lads.” she added surveying/the men. “for all that Roberta and I vthink so much of you.” She began th- pour out the coffee. ’This'll put heart tn you, my lad. Tell the tale. Lady Sandison." Roberta, from the arm of her husband's chair, looked at them wideeyed. “It’s the most thrilling thing that ever happened." “Hear! Hear!" said Sir George, "Romeo and Juliet’s little story scarcely compares with it. Put some cream in my coffee like a dutiful wife and then talk while I eat. Roberta. After a little careful training you'll be fit for Snndisbrae and bonnle Scotland.” "I doubt it.” said the Dowager Lady Sandison. beaming at them. “She’ll never be meek enough to suit. It’s grand that she caught you this side of the water. Glad as I am that it happened. 1 am fair astonished that it ever came off. As late as this afternoon b would have sworn that Sir George would as soon see you drowned as marry you." “So would I.” declared Robert MacBeth. “and what's more. I would have sworn that Roberta would have drowned you If you’d asked her." “How perfectly said Roberta. “Absolutely I” agreed her husband. Aggy looked at her brother, with a queer little smile and then turned to Sir George and his tally. “1 suppose.” she sighed, “there'll be no holding you on this island now.” “Oh. why not? Jolly Interesting place, this island.” said Sir George. "At least, it's lust as Roberta says." “Perfectly al) right place for George to rest up in." Roberta agreed. “Don’t see n thing.wrong with it." “I could stay here forever—with you." he told her. between bites of the cake with which she was feeding him. Robert Macßeth. thoiij h he found locomotion tiresome and painful, rose up heavily and muttering some excuse about fresh air. which was quite unnecessary as neither Roberta nor Sir Georg® seemed to notice his withdrawal. went out on the terrace. Aggy followed him and gave him her arm to a chair. "It's grand." she sighed. "I’m thinking that with the Sandison weediness toned down a bit by the Macßeth stockiness your grandchildren should be a finerlooking lot " Her brother gave a smothered roar. “You talk as though you’d planned it;” "Weil.” began Aggy modestly, but Robert Macßeth refused to listen. “As yet we're in the dark as to how it happened.” Aggy laughed. "And likely to be for a while.” she said cheerfully. “It’s my opinion they're no very clear about it themselves.” But Rob was not to be so easily soothed. “‘Did you hear what they said? What’s the matter with them? Are they crazy?” Lady Sandison laughed. "It's love,” she said philosophically. “We'll jist have to stand It for awhile. You can do nothing with them at this stage.” “They'll condescend to stay on my Island, now.” Rob said it bitterly. “A while ago they were both sick of it.” “What can you expect?” asked his sister. She looked at him sympathetically. "Don't he a Jealous fool. Rub. You’re getting what you wanted: though not in Just the way you wanted it, and so are they.” "1 thought." Macßeth growled, a little ashamed of himself, though it’s hard to see one's only daughter completely engrossed, In another and younger man. "I thought they were after thrills?” “Well, and have they not found them?” “What, here on this island!" “No, stupid man, in eaeh other." [THE END.]

Scotsman who fell in tbe war. It I* a place of pilgrimage to Scotsmen all over the world, this holy place where the noblest heroes and the humblest creatures are all remembered together. . “Man on Horseback" The phrase “Man on Horseback" was first applied to. Gen. George Ernest Boulanger, of Fiance (18S71891), a politician who sought popularity in the most prononreed fashion, one of his methods being to appear In public, on his black?horse. It is commonly applied to any mPitary dictator or a person who curbs the violence of mob-rule to re-establMb law and order. The same exftressi«n or a similar one, “Robespierrd on Horseback.” Is said to have been pretioutly used by Barras in speaking st Napoleon Bonaparte; In this sense it was used to denote any ruthless tender that would willingly trample tint people under foot. If such proceedini kould further his own selfish ends. Midshipmen \ The name 'midshipman* originated in the British navy mere than 2Ut) years ago from the facA that the young men who were tmieing to become officers were assigxttd quarters amidships on the lower .feet Thus “midshipmen” came to be applied to cadets or line and execuive officers of the lowest grade.

lows: Melt a cupful of granulated sugar slowly in a smooth omelet pan and cook until it becomes a rich brown, being careful to avoid scorching. Pour in a cupful of boiling water and stir until a thick sirup Is formed. The caramel may be kept indefinitely if kept covered or bottled. Ink stains on the fingers can be removed by rubbing with a cloth moistened with household ammonia. Rinse the haads in clear «water afterwards. Lemon Juice and sunshine is an excellent remover of rust spots bn linen or white fabrics. When it is necessary to use boiled water fpr drinking it will taste better if it is poured back and forth from two pitchers, giving it more air. Use a lump or two of sugar instead of starch when washing fine laces. An easily prepared mushroom sauce which adds tremendously to the attractiveness of a broiled steak is prepared thus: Mix in a frying pan one tablespoonful each of butter and flour, stir in gradually one cupful of brown stock; when boiling point is reached add one cupful of mushrooms, salt and pepper to taste, a tablespoonful of mushroom catsup, with a teaspoonful of caramel. When white stains on polished wood surfaces cannot be removed by a cloth dampened in ajcohol, use pondered pumice mixed with linseed oil to make a thin paste. Rub over the spots until they disappear. Wipe off carefully with a soft cloth dampened with furniture polish. A quick relish may be made for an occasion by chopping cooked beets with celery and cabbage and a tablespoonful or two of freshly grated horseradish root, sugar, salt and a little vinegar or lemon juice to taste. Reasons for Scarcity of Batak Literature Marco Polo and the emperor of China landed on the Batak coast/ to avoid a storm in the Thirteenth century, and had to erect block houses to avoid being eaten by the natives. For the Bataks were and are cannibals, eating renowned individuals, not for dietetic reasons, but that his strength and wisdom may be incorporated in the banqueters. The choice cuts are the fingers, toes and the palms of the hands; and —according to a cannibal chief who confined in an explorer—the popular term among cannibals for human flesh is “long pig," as the general taste is like that of the pig. V This tendency on the “part of the Bataks is probably tbe reason why libraries are not usually furnished with Batak literature, because very few agents could be induced to look for rare works within reach of people with such ideas. Indeed, the Cleveland public library is probably the only library in the world to possess t pustaka.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Inn*® Many Famous Guests The Lion inn at Shrewsbury, England, still popular with tourists, has entertained famous persons for more than a century. There George IV danced before the battle of Trafalgar and there Paganini once played. De Quincey spent a night at the Lion and Disraeli was there in his early days. In 1838 Charles Dickens, accompanied by “Phiz," was accommodated at the inn and wrote to his daughter of “the strangest little rooms” and “how the windows bulged out over ths street as if they were the stern windows of a ship." The ballroom, designed and decorated by the Adam brothers, is still used for dancing. Back to the Library A young patron at the West Indianapolis public library was explaining why he had not been, taking out books for some time. “Well, you see.” “my brother used to buy lots of magazines and I’d read them. But he went ‘goofy’ and got married and don’t buy ’em any more.” Traveler’s Notes Circular notes are notes or letters of credit furnished by bankers to travelers.

Kilmainham Jail Now Merely Historic Relic The Kilmainham jail. Ireland, which has played a prominent part in Irish history, has been abandoned finally as a place of detention and handed over to the Dublin county council for other disposition. The graves of two men executed there after the Phoenix murders in 1882 are indicated by stone slabs now overgrown with weeds, and marks on the wall testify to the spot on which the leaders of the Easter 1916 uprising met their death. Frank Teeling, while awaiting execution there after the killing of fourteen British officers in November, 1920, was rescued from the jnil under dramatic circumstances. Charles Stewart Parnell’s room is still pointed out, and a white stone set in the wall shows where the scaffold was erected for vthe Execution of Gen. Thomas E. ficer, who came over to take charge of the Fenian forces in Tipperary more than six.y years ago. Onsthe prison walls are the names of John Dillon, Thomas Seaton. William O'Brien and William Redmond, father of the present Irish M. P.. who fell fighting in Flanders in 1917. Helping Out on the Farm!
