think that Hay would let a Baxter go
for all the kinks that ever were built?
You supposed that wanted you to play

Jean: it's too bad OF you. Burnbrae.
ma Lord. aye ken"
IT'S all right, and I'm only Joking;
and the play was carried on a bit too
long for both of US, but I wanted to
hear your own mind upon this matter;
and Kilspindie called for the factor.
'Is the Burnbrae lease drawn up?'
ut is. at an advance OF eco. and I've
got a man who will sign II, and says he
will give no trouble about kinks; in fact,
he'll just do-ah-welI, whatever We tell
him."
"Qulte so; most satisfactory sort Of
man. Then you'll reduce the rent TO
the old figure, and put in the name OF
John Baxter. and let IL be for the long
est period We ever give on the estate"
But. Lord Kilspindie-I-did you
know
do as I command you. without an
other word" and his Lordship was fear
full to behold. Bring the lease here in
ten minutes. and place IL in Mr.. Bakers
hands. What I've got to say to you Will
keep TIL afterwards.
"Sit down, old friend. sit down: Il was
my blame-I ought to be horse whipped.
Drink a little water You're better now
I'll go and see that fellow has no tricks
in the conditions" But he heard Burnbrae
say one word 10 himself, and It was,
"Jean."
In all the other characters individualism
Is as clearly brought out as in the case
OF Baxter.

He has thus been an inspiration toward
that which he justly claims I'm hi,

men The cultivation OF family history
IS one OF the essentials 10 the well

and prosperity OF every nation depends
on the love Of country and pride Of race

Like the poet, the genealogist is born,

pains Of labor.
