the family before venturing on any remarkr
1 have seen such sight on more than one
occasion. Doctors have told US over and
over again of the beneficial results arising
from a meal eaten with a contented frame
of mind and with cheerful SURROUNDINGS
but, sad to say, there are many households
where each meal is a constant scene Of
pickering, nagging and faultfinding
This is not only the case where there ara
occasionally for carelessness, but I am
speaking of those homes where the girls
and boys are we'll into their teens Sad H.
that house and wrong Is that parent, either
father or mother, who chooses the hour
when all are assembled round the table
to mention some half-forgotten grievance
or to find some fault.
If any trivial thing has been done wrong

CHAPTER XIV.
ACCOMPLISHMENT

AS evening drew on the old warder of
Traquair Castle beheld sight that caused
him to rub his eyes in the fear that they
were misleading him. A horseman, bearing
the guise of Roundhead trooper his steel
cap glittering, approached the ancient
stronghold. That such a man dared set
foot on Scottish soil and ride thus boldly
to the home of the most noted royalist on
the border seemed incredible but the
warder was not to be caught mapping, and
he gave orders that the gates be closed and
guarded, for the Border was ever q land of
surprises and one must take all precaution.
Doubtless this lone trooper had company
concealed somewhere, and was advancing
to parley, although he carried no flag of
truce He came on with fine air Of indif-
ference and stopped when he found his way
barred, sitting carelessly on his horse with
an amused smile on his lips.
Whats yer wull. surr?' demanded the
warder from the wall.
That's it." replied the horseman.
'Whut's 1t? I dinna unnerstaun ye."
"Wulrs ma name" said the rider with an
accent as broad as that of his questioner.
"Wuz that no whut We were spierin? Dinna
