Captain David ORilvy. the Laird OF
Linogii estate. was the descendant Of n
Tong line OF soldiers. with an oft recur-
ring fatality for dying In battle. When
not quartcrcd with his regiment he
spent hla time on his estate. looking
after the interests OF his tenantry.
dnshing and generous. ne was deserv-
edly popular with all.
To his humber tenantry he was par
ticuiarly agreeable. Poor old ElEpeth
had held her lowiy cot. rent. free. with
n pension thrown In. for four genera
tons OF Ogilvys. and was probably the
humblest OF all. She was. therefore.
the recipient OF the courtly i.aird's spe-
cinl attention. his kindly attitude
toward her being thGt OF one actually
honored by her tenancy.
No wonder then that the Witch o.
Linogir adored her Laird.
on this lovely morning things seemed
,air and full OF promise to the Laird OF
Linogii. His CHEEKY whistling broke In
upon the rushing OF the forest. stirring
the very birds to chorus his JOY. and
the quick time OF My Love Is But a
Iassie Yet" heralded his sprightly gait.
A raucous voice arrested his progress.
Turning he beheld old Eispeth beckon-
Ing him To approach.
Come here. ma Draw son." she was
repeating.
"oh. Is tina, you Elspie." said the
Laird genially.
Yea, Laird. It's me. I've come three
lang miles tae prevent ye In the day o.
your calamity"
Come now. Eispie." bantered the
Laird. "you mustn't talk TO me about
calamity today. You should prophecy
good about me and not evil. They tell
me you're a bit OF "a sorceress. 80 you
