The Black Douglas

II is never well to be too sure, you know.
Douglas had caused his picked men to APP
proach the castle by walking on their hands
and knees, with long black cloaks thrown
over their bodies, and their ladders and
weapons concealed under their cloaks. The
men thus presented very nearly the appear.

aud completely deceived the sentinel who
was probably thinking more of the music and
dancing below than of the watchful enemy
who had been haunting the gloomy woods
of Jedburgh.
The Black Douglas, or GOOD James.
Lord Douglas, as he was called by the
Scots, fought, as have already said, with
King Robert Bruce, at Bannock burn. One
lovely June day, in the far gone year of 1929,
King Robert lay dying. lie called Douglas
TO his bedside, and told him that it had been
one of the dearest wishes of his heart to go
to the Holy Land aud recover Jerusalem
from the lnfdels but since he could not go,
he wished him 10 embalm his heart after his
death, and carry it 10 the Holy City and de
posit it in the Holy Sepulchre,
Douglas had the heart of Bruce embalmed
and nclosed in silver case, and wore it on
a silver chain about his neck. lie set out
for Jerusalem, but resolved first TO visit
Spain and engage in the war waged against
the Moorish King of Grenada. lie fell in
Andalusia, in battle just before his death,
he threw the silver oasket into the thickest
of the fight exclaiming Heart Of Bruce,
follow thee or die 20
His dead body was found beside the cas-
ket, and the heart of Bruce was brought
back to Scotland and deposited in the ivy
clad Abbey of Melrose.
Douglas was a real hero, and few things
more engaging than his exploits were ever
told under the holly and mistetoe, or in the
warm Christmas light of the old Scottish
Yule-logs. NichoIds.

What is a National Rife Team .

1t would have been very embarrassing
for our Irrational " team to have been
beaten by one Of the four provincial teams
which Great Britain sent over. Now that
we are 50 fortunately out of the, muddle,
which resulted from the ,dullness of the
managers of the National Rifle Association
is not knowing what constituted ssNa-
tlonal " team, we may expect that SINH
lar blunder will not be repeated in the ft,-
ture. If the United States is limited to
one team to represent it as nation, then
the same rule should apply to every other
nation taking part in the contest. IfGreat
Britain is to be privileged to enter as many
teams as she has provinces, then the Uni
TED States should haye the privilege Of en-
tering as many teams as we have States.
Perhaps we ought not to grumble at the
stupidity which results in leaving us the
winners, for it is evident thata national
British team, composed of the best shots
of the four principal teams, would have
been easy victors. But if we are to have
international contests, they should be SO in
something more than the name, and this
one certainly was not. At the same time,
in order to give the various subordinate
teams chance, the regular international
match should be followed BY an g all. cons
ers'' team contest. Hartford (Con.) Coaus--. Cas-
