Refreshments were served during the
evening, and in handing cup of coffee
to one of the guests Il deaf mute gentle

his wifo's skirt. Tho wife is also deaf
mute, and it was evident that she took
tho mishap in a rather irritable way.
Sho wriulilcd up her forehead and at
once made series nf remarkably swift

The husband, looking exceedingly apol.

Ono Of tho guests who had noticed
this little byplay slyly slipped out o
bit Of paper and pcnciling something on

This is what tho latter read:
"No matter how badly afflicted, wo-

1t was Sir Walter Scott's dearest
wish to found house which should
carry on the traditions Of his great an
cestors, who wero cadets Of tho SCOTS
OF Harden, now represented by Baron
Polwarth. Scott reared Abbotsford at
enormous cost. but there his work be-
gan and ended. His eldest son, who sue
ceeded to tho baronotcy, survived him
only 10 years uiid died i'll 1S47, un-
married, ut the Cape, and SO tho bar
onotoy became extinct. His second son
died at farotf Teheran, also unmarried.
So tho name Of Scott was left to his
daughter Charlotte, who married Lock-
hart, the biographor Of Sir Walter. Her
son, Walter Scott Lookhart, adopted the
name of Scott, but, with all tho oxtraor-
dlnary fatality that had overcome his
uncles, he, too, died unmarried at the
ago Of 2G, and SO tho estate passed to
his sister Charlotte, who married j. r.
Hope, g. G., Il member Of tho Hopetoun
family, and hc, of course, adopted the
name Scott. They had thrco children,
but their only son died in childhood,
and once again woman camo to rule
This was Mary Monica.

Constable Maxwell, third son of Lord

adopted tho Ut 10 Scott. They have had
six children, tho eldest of whom, Wal

is in tho army. Ho has two brothers
and two sisters living. Mary Josephine,
who is married, was born in 1876. Thus
it will be seen that the present genera
