Stlli 1t was day on which every Douglas
vassal must ride in mail, with all his spears

consequences.
All the night from distant parishes and
outlying valleys men-at-arms had been
riding. clothed in complete panopIy of mail.
These were the knights barons. freehold
ers owning allegiance and duty to the
mouse OF Douglas. Each lord was followed
by appointed tail of esquires and men at
arms; behind these dense clusters of heav-
ny armed spearmen marched steadily along
the easier paths by the waterside and over
the lower hill passes. Light running foot
men siung their swords over their backs

there were from the border toward the

nativity.

hall"
William Douglas went up into a large
oak-ceiled chamber, wide and high, run
ming right across the castle from side to
side. and with windows looking every way
over the broad and fertile strath of Dee.
Presently, with trampling of mailed
feet and the double rattle which denoted
the grounding Of a pair of steel-hilted par
tisans, Malise wis brought to the door by
two men ofsstheo earrs outer guard.
The huge bulk tof Brawny Kim filled UP
the doorway almost completely, and ne
stood watching the Douglas with an un-
moved gravity which in the dry wrinkles
about his eyes almost amounted to humor.
Yet it was Malise who spoke first. For at
his appearing, the earl had turned his back
upon his retainer and now stood at the win
dow which looks toward the north. from
which he could almost see, over the broad
and placid stretches of the river, the men
putting up the pavilions and striking spears
into the ground to mark the space reserved
for the tourney of the next day.
"A fair good morrow to you, my lord,
said the smith. "Grievous as my sin has
been and just as Is your resentment. give
nee leave to say that 1 have suffered more
than my deserts from the ill-made chains
and uncouth manacles wherewith they
confined me in the black dungeon down
there. l trOw, they must have been the
workmanship of Ninian Lamont, the high
landman, who dares to call himself house
smith of Thrieve. I am ready to die, if II
be your will, my lord, but if you are we'll

midst with a crash-in which collision Cie
superior weight of the younger had very
naturally the better of the encounter.
Sholto dropped instantly back to the
ground. He was somewhat stunned by the
blow but the sight of his brother triumph
antly splashing through the shadows arous-
ed him. He arose, and, seizing the first
stone that cana to hand, hurled it after
him, swearing fraternaly that he would
soon as he caught him for that bastard
blow The first stone flew wide, though the
splash caused the mule to shy into deeper
water to the damping of his riders legs
But the second, being better aimed. took
the animal fairly on the rump and bring
ing up on a fy-galled spot, sent it with
flying bags and loud squeals into the woods
of Glen Lochar, which come down close to
the fords on every side, where presently
caught in the branches of beech and left
hanging between heaven and earth.
A rider in complete plate of black
caught him down still holding on to his
bow and, placing him across the saddle,
brought down the fat of his mailed hand
upon a spot of his person which, being un-
covered by mail responded with a resound-
ing smack. Then, amid the bosterous
laughter of the men at arms, he let Lau-
renee slip to the ground.

EXPLANATION

Tn arrow files with the wind. The top ng- ures al station indicate minimum temperature for the days; those underneath it, if any, the amount of rainfall or of melted snow in inches and hundredths during the last twelve hours. Isobars, or solid lines, connect points of equal air pressure; isotherms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The word high high barometric pressure and is usually accompanied by fair weather; low refers to low pres sure and is usually preceded and accompa nied by cloudy weather and rains. Lows" usually first appear on the Washington coast. When the pressure is high in the interior and low along the coast, and the isobars extend north and south along the coast, rain is proba ble but when the low is incosed with isobars of marked curvature rain south of Oregon is i'm probable. With high" in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure falling to the Cali fornia coast, warmer weather mey be expected in summer and colder weather in winter The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result.
