But those sparklings of humor, too, were
not wanting, without which no man ought
to be minister. A sweet gravity. tender
and pensive, was the note of John Glendon-
wyn's early ministry in Cover and the
days when he exercised it are still unfor-
gotten upon Solway side
NO, an easy man in turn said one of
his heritors.
Il wud like to see him mair blythesome,"
said an elder; ito my mind he is over sober
for so young a man"
But when these praiseful commentings
came to his ears the young minister was
abased and ashamed, knowing that his
gravity was but the burden of care which
he carried since the disappearance of Kate
and Fairlie Glendinning, together with the
knowledge that his brother was in some
way privy to the matter.
John went little to Castle Cover but his
father came over often and sat in the
single armchair. staring in the long gaps
of silence at the carpetless floor of the
study. He did not. however, again re-
peat his offer of furnishing the manse. nor
had he paid any of the interest due to John
on his mothers properly.
CThe narrative as given by the first mar
rator. which the editor has hitherto founl
ed upon, now approaches an event 50
strange in itself and so far-reachng in it's
consequences. that he has evidently taken
more than ordinary pains to obtain facts
correctly and in an exact form. More than
one original narrative is appended to the
history connected with the events of this
period, and In particular John Glendonwyn
himself has been induced to tell the story
of the night Of the 18th November, 1872 IN
his own words)

When Doctors May Talk.

From the Kansas City Stas
An important ruling made by the court
today was that when a person who is su-
ing for damages testif1es in court that a
doctor examined him and found him in
jured. the doctor is a competent witness
in the case, and must tell about his treat
ment of the case and what he found.
This ruling was made in the case of w.
r. Highfall against the Missouri Pacific
Railway company. HighfAll was a passen-
ger on train, and claimed to have had his
hip diSlocated by blow of swinging car
door His case was tried in the circuit
court of the county, and a jury gave him
$500 damages. This verdict the court of
appeals reversed today. and remanded the
case for a new trial because when DIR.
Wood was put on the stand in the trial of
the case, and was asked what he found to
be the matter with Mr.. Highfall, the law
yers for the latter objected to the question,
and the court sustained the objection hold
ing that physician cannot be forced to
reveal the secrets of the sick room But
the court of appeals holds that when a
witness seeks to fortify his case by testi-
flying that a doctor found him injured, he
valves the secrecy imposed by the statute.
and the doctor may be put upon the stand
to testify.
