\ Great Screamer.

More than 30 years ago Lachlan Nc

Scotland. and went to the shores Of
Lake Winnipeg. He did not neglect to
carry with him his beloved bagpipe,
and many an evening il spoke to him
of the old home beyond the seas. Even
in the daytime. when he was busy in the
woods telling trees, he would have it
by his side. and on one occasion he had
reason to be glad that it was so near.
He was merrily swinging his AK, when
he was suddenly surrounded by party
of Indians who looked very formid
able as they drew nearer, gesticulat-
ing in a particularly threatening man.

when happy thought came to the
Scotchman Selling his bagpipc, he
blew a blast 50 loud and long and shrill
that the startled red men looked upon
him for moment in CONSERVATION, and
then took to their heels, never stopping
till the thick shadows Of the forest hid
them from the man who could give
vent To such an unearthly scream.
They did not forget that prolonged cry;
from that time the Scotchman was
known among them as the great
