SAVED BY QUICK WIT.
The Escape of Sir Archibald Douglas
at Poitiers.


In the battle Of Poitiers (1356) num-
Der of Scottish soldiers fought on the
side of the French, and several of
them were taken prisoners by the Eng
lish. Among them was Sir Archibald
Douglas, half brother Of Lord Will
liam Douglas Being dressed in suit
Of splendid armor, the victors thought
they had captured AS indeed they
had-some great nobleman. Several
of the English were about to strip on
his armor when Sir William Ramsay
of Colluthie, who was also prisoner,
happening to catch Sir Archibald's eye,
gave him meaning look. Pretending
to be very angry, he cried out: sYou
rascal, how is it that you are wearing
your masters armoY? Come here and
pull off my bootsw Douglas, seeming
" thoroughly cowed, went humbly for
ward and drew off boot, with which
Sir William began to beat him. The
English onlookers at once interfered
on Douglas behalf, saying that he was
a person of great rank and lord.
"What!' shouted Ramsay, shaking
with laughter. "He a lord? Why, he
is base knave and, l suppose, has
slain his master. Go, you villain, and
search the field for the body of my
cousin, your master, and when you
have found it let me know, that may
give 1t decent burial" All this was
acted SO naturally that the English
allowed Ramsay to ransom the pre-
tended manservant for 40 shillings.
The money having been paid, Sir Will
liam gave Douglas another thrashing
and then babe him begone. Sir Archi-
bald lost no time in effecting his es-
cape, which he owed solely to the In
genuity of his friend.

Professor Skeat on the Proper Pronun-

Instead Of trusting to casual obsery-

ogy" / give some simple rules of ac-
eentuation. Rule ] is as follows:
when the length of word is aug
mented an original long vowel Is apt
to be shortened by the accentual stress
falling upon it." Such augmentation
Is due to the formation of deriyative.
An easy example is seen in the case
OF cone, pronounced with a long TO-
for If we form a derivative by adding
the suffix "ic" the result is comic, with
a short 80
There is general principle that at
fects the whole language and sets up
standard habit. BY way of illustra-
ton, compare bile with bilious, crime
with criminal, brake and bracken, dine
and dinner, mine and mineral, coal and
collier and perhaps at least seventy
more. "A remarkable instance is seen
in collie, which is merely new pro-
nunciation of cealy. Certain dogs
were once called coaly dogs because
of their coal black markings. An ex-

When once such principle has be.

the diminutive Of page, in which the

The pronunciation Of primer has Of

who think that they clinch the matter
by saying that the 'ti'' in the Latin

therefore spell it with double "m," be-
cause that is not our system. We write
tonic and comic and mimic in order to
show their connection with tone and
