.The Seven Whist,ers =

One evening few years ago, when crossing
one oil our Lancashire noOrs in company with
an intelligent old man, we were suddenly
startled by the wbistling overhead OF a copy OF
plovers. My companion remaTke that when
10Y the old people considered such a cTcum-
stasce had omen, " as the person who heard
