lar coincidence that, like ''Dixio, it was
written and llrst produced on the stage

both of its spirit and swinging movement:
We are band Of brothers and native to the

Fighting for our liberty with treasure, blood
and toll,
And when our rights were threatened the cry

Raiders and "The Stickit Minister"
He is a Scotchman. and his stories
are mainly sketches of Scottish life
drawn from characters familiar to
the author. His father died when the
novelist was but a child. and he was
brought up by his grandparents, the
strictest of CamerOnians, who con-
sidered the works of Shakespeare and
Scott very wicked. He did not agree
with them, however, and e their
wicked books on the sly. They
were poor and his education was Sc
cured only by his w efforts. BY
teaching and writing he worked his
way through college, graduating from
Edinburgh university and oxford, and
taking degrees at Heidelberg and
Neufachtel. For some time he was a
clergyman, preaching at Penicuik.
His first book was II of poems. The
demand for his work increased sc
rapidly that he ceased his ministerial
work and devotes himself entirely to
literature.
