waves. The strong barrier OF noun
tains that fringe the eastern side OF
the island of Westeray descend on
the west to a fat bog protected from
the fierce Atlantic waves by low
fringe of sandhills.
1t was over this bog land, with Its
loosely huddled hamlets OF rough
stone dwellings, and its poor attempts
at sparse cultivation, that woman
was looking one summer evening
many years ago. The mournful
dreariness of the treeless, barren land
scape, with its bare ribs OF rock STICK
ing through the shallow, peaty soil,
and its miserable dwellings, that
would be deemed scarce fit for Eng
lish cattle, had quite the reverse OF
a depressing effect upon Nor Mac
Donald.
This was her home; she had never
been beyond the island, nor desired
to go. All the fairness of Gods earth
was contained for her in the wild,
bare mountains, the stone-rlbbed
fields that were too poor even to grow
oats, and the white water-Ely-covered
blue lochs that joined their breasts
in winter over the intervening boys
that on this summer night were FAINT
ly green with tender shoots OF thin,
black barley, and the more somber
green of laboriously banked up pota-
to ridges.
To live in that rough stone hut,
half stable, half living room, chimney
less, almost windowless, with floor OF
shelving bare rock, and furniture OF
boulder stones, an old box, and a ket-
tie, comprised Mor's dearest ambl-
ton. To this end her father had
lived, and toiled, and died, and left
no better heritage to his daughter.
She had buried him out in the lonely
sandhills on the mound raised by the
long. ago dead over the bones of the
one man who loved these poor folks
enough three hundred years ago, to
serve them, going in fear Of his life
for simply ministering to their spirit
tual wants. Her mother lay there
too, and surdry small sisters and
brothers who had failed in the strug-
gle of life earlier than their parents;
and now Nor alone was left
She had done better since her
fathers death than before, though
filial piety had prevented the thought
from ever crossing her mind; but even
the bit of bread and the few potatoes
the father ate made considerable
difference to the finances of this hum
BILE crofter household. Nor rose
early and toiled late, built up with
careful spade work the black, thin
bog into ridges for the potatoes,
sowed the barley, and carefully har-
vested every ear. In the long days
of summer she herded her one valu-
able possession, the all precious COW,
knitting or pulling the wool from her
two half wild sheep the while.
1t is not often that Nor sat in her
doorway and looked at the landscape;
she saw enough of that while herding
in all weathers on the crofts, but to-
night she gazed upon the bleak, wild

remembered by readers Of Tho Chronicle

so much because OF his free trade

The City Election.

The Democratic organ yesterday gave
further evidence Of its uneasines, re.
garding the outcome Of the city cleo
ton. In its desperation 1t published a
lengthy article, alleging that Republi.
can managers are making rockies,
promises OF places to Democrats to Sc
cure their aid in the election, and that
the promises far outnumber the posi-.
tons that will be available in the event
OF Republican success.
The absurdity OF this story is only
equalled by the ridiculous attitude in
which the Register places itself BY the
publication. The Register began. the
campaign by urging non.partisan
policy; nowit seeks to stir ~ party feel.
ing and whip independent Democrats
back into the ranks by alleging that
they are being victimized by the Re-
publicans. Can 1t be that the Register
has discovered that its hypocritical
course in advising the elimination OF
party lines has had an effect contrary
to that which it expected? Perhaps
the Register has begun to realize tina,
many Democrats who sincerely believed
that change in tho administration i.
desirable, took it at its word and &C.
copied in good faith its advice, and feel
free to vote for the change without losing
their party integrity.
Nobody believes that the Register
does not want the straight Democratic
ticket elected. II it did not, it would
doubtless be willing to specify the par
,icular men on the ticket who should
be defeated. Ii it cannot do this i,
must stand guilty Of having advised the
public to exercise liberalisy which i,
is not willing to practice itself.
In the meantime, the people OF this
community are doing some thinking on
their own account. Democrats as we'll
as Republicans feel that the Democratic
ring at the city hall has been in control
quite long enough for the good OF the
city. There are Democtasic taxi payer,
for instance, who feel that change
might prove OF some benefit in the way
OF bringing about more economical
administration OF city adRirs. and q
