all to meet on the third day at the lit

warned by the Lady Sybilla, already
had his idea, which from the very hor

to no one.
It CHANGED that as the youth rode

along some distance in front Of him.
By their long robes of decent brown
they seemed merchants on a journey,
portly of figure and consequential of
bearing.
As Sholto rapidly made up to them,
with his better horse and lighter
weight, he perceived that the travellers
were those two admirable and note
worthy magistrates of Dumfries, Rob-
ert Semple and his own uncle, Nlnlan
Halliburton of the Vennel.
Hearing the clatter of the jennet's
hoofs, they turned about suddenly with
mighty serious countenances. For in
such times when the Wayfarer heard
steps behind him, whether of man or
beast, it repaid him to give immediate
attention thereto.
So, at the sound of hoofs Ninian and
his friend set their hands to their
thighs and looked over their shoulders
more quickly than seemed possible to
men of their build.

SUNNY SIBERIAN LAND.

Thomas G. Allen. jr., has writtens an
article on "The Boys Of Siberia for the
December st. Nicholas. Mr.. Allen says.
AS dreary and cold as Siberia. is an
expression that has come to be almost
prOverb. The very name has always
eonjured up a scene of desOlatiOn and
perpetual winter, enlivened perhaps by
band of criminal exiles plodding

heard the clanking Of prison chains.
the moaning of suffering men, and the
sobs Of distressed women. And yet
however, displeasing the picture which
the name of Siberia never fails to con-
vey, it's very mysterious and melan-
chOly associations have ever exerted a.
strange fascination. I must confess
that 1 have been no exception to the
general rule. At a. very early age
developed the desire to visit this rnys-
ferrous country, and to discover for my
SELF if possible some of it's terrible
hidden secrets.

recent occasions to crafty this way

mot raising the question of the de-
plorable Siberian exile system, (
would impress upon the reader that
Siberia itself, in it's southern portion
at least, is a region where the vege-
tation is as varied and luXuriant,
where the birds MARBLE just as sweetly,
where the children play and the peo-
pie laugh and sing just as cheerfully,
as in our own country. In fact, that
portion of Siberia which is now reach

Nc MARKET FOR STOLEN HAIR
Dealers Views Of the Stories of Girls
Whose Braids Disappear.
New York Sun

CNew York SUM-
A reporter for the Sun asked a dealer
in human hair whether men in his line
bought the braids reported from time
to time to have been clipped from
young girls heads in the streets ana
elsewhere. He smiled and said:
Many people think so, but they are
mistaken. If we did purchase the hair,
we would not give 80 cents for the
prettiest braid. Some people labor un-a
der the impression that head Of beau
tifu tresses is worth $25 or $50 There
are in the large cities houses that buy
women's hair, but it is my opinion that
very little of the hair cut suddenly
from wOman's head finds its way to
them. The prices paid for such goods
are so small that it would not pay
person to rob women of their hair. L
have frequently been asked whether
tramps or other SuSpiciOus-lOOkng IN
dividualS offer US for sale hair that
might have been sIashed from
Woman's head. None has ever entered

but We cannot use it. No, human hair
dressers do not get their hair in this
way. Look at this hair. That is the
only form in which we buy 1t. Most OF
the hair used in this country comes
from France. There women cultivate
beautiful hair for the purpose OF selling
it. Agents go from house to house, pay
trivial sums for it, aud then skillfullyt
cut 1t Off. Then it is sent to factories, (
where it goes through various pro-
cesses before it is ready for the mar
ket. This hair have in my hand is alb
of the same length. The fine and
strong hair and the eOarser and nest
feeble and the long and short must be
separated. All must be uniform. Theses
are the reasons, then, why we coulds
not utilize hair just cut off"
do persons ever sell you dead peo%
pies hair?'
1--WE have had such callers. But as
such hair is weak and brittle it cannot
be used in our business"
How do you account for these hair
clipping stOries?"
I'VE have our own opinions. Some
times girls get tired of combing and
caring for their hair. Their parents do
not allow them to cut it off. The next.
thing they know, some villain has come
along and clipped it off, according to-
the girls story. She may have done the
clipping and hidden away the braid.i
Of course, there may be legftimatez
cases of braid stealing or clipping for.

professional hair-stealers, never. As Z

CHAPTER XII.
MISSION OF JAMES THE GROSS.

From all sides the Douglases were
marching upon Edinburgh After the
murder of the young lords the city
gates had been closed by order of the
chancellor. The castle was put into a
thorough state of defense. The camp
of the Avondale Douglases, William
and James, was already on the Boro-
muir, and the affrighted citizens looked
in terror upon the thickening banners
with the bloody heart upon them, and
upon the array of stalwart and deter
mined men of the south. Curses both
loud and deep were hurled from the
besiegers' lines at every head seen above
the walls, together with promises to
burn Edinburgh, castle and burgh alike,
and to slocken the ashes with the blood
of every living thing within, for the
cause of the black dinner and the bulls
head set before the brothers of Doug
