absent from the place between 5 and 6
O'Clock the thief effected an entrance
by smashing a glass panel in a side

on the bureaus he opened. The thief
discovered nothing that struck his
fancy and departed.

on Folk Music of Scotland" said it
was on record that in the twelfth cen

Tor their delight the harp. the tabor
and the chOrO. There was some differ
ence of opinion regarding the identity
or the chOrO. Some thought il was the
bagpipe, while others argued that il
could not be. for they maintained that
this instrument was not imported fr0n
England until at least a century after
this date. Judging by appearance. he
was disposed to think that the chOrO
was the bagpipe, for it would have been
a sorry sight for a historian to witness
a Highlander wandering in his native
straths and glens with a harp in his
hand. Even although IL was conceded
that the English introduced the bag
pipes to these isles, il must be admitted
that whenever the Highlanders gained
the acquaintance Of the Instrument
they made the most Of it, Dealing with
the question why Scotland had not
taken her place among the musical ma
uOns of the world, a recent writer had
given it as his opinion that the bagpipe
was the cause of her undoing, but il
was more probable that the cause Law
