ton. Meantime, please do not be
surprised that I now sign myself.
Very gratefully.
IAN McGREGOR,
king of the Cragsmen.
DR.. Hoyt was accustomed to receive
appealing letters from his patients,
but this one was, he thought. decid-
edly out of the ordinary. So that
evening. according to the mans re-
quest, he called upon McGregor at
the Power House, and together they
repaired to the old shed.
The doctor was prepared by the
letter for some kind of a surprise,
but when once inside the building
his establishment knew no bounds.
But before he had time to express
himself in words, McGregor fastened
to remark:
DR.. Hoyt, this visit is evidence of
great kindness and interest on your
part. Kindly seat yourself OF this
little platform while with this pointer
in my hand at once proceed with my
story:
THE scene before you represents
a piece of the coast line in the north
east of Scotland. At our feet is
Chanonry Point, with its famous
lighthouse. You notice it is built of
little blocks of granite, and the re-
volving light in the tower is in good
working order. The water in the
Moray Firth and in the Channel be-
fore us comes from yonder faucet and
flows out again through that narrow
defile into the Caledonian Canal at
the other end Of the shed. On the
other side of the Channel before us is
Fort George. You can see the dimin-
utive sentries in their boxes. and a
company of Highlanders on the
parade ground, and that cluster of
little white tents on the hillside is a
field hospital. Turning now to the
right, we have Culloden Moor, where
the battle was fought in AS, and be-
yond 1t, at the head of the Firth of
Inverness. is representation of the
beautiful capital of the Highlands
with its romantic castle, where, if you
remember, Macbeth entertained the
generous Duncan in grewsome fash
ion. That picturesque lodge back on
the hills yonder is the seat of the
Master of Lovat, whose ancestor was
out with Prince Charlie.
Now. coming back to the left
hand, the scene is OF a different ma

will retain the juices formed while
cooking, and truly delicious morsel
will be the result.

Made LAFAYETTE Kiss Her.

Mrs. Caroline Campbell Kellogg.
ninety-three years old, died at Pitts
field, Mass. When General Lafayette
visited Pittsfield in 1926 Mrs. Kel-
logg, then ten years old, ran down
the aisle of the church where recep-
lion to him was in progress and pulled
his coattails until he kissed her.
Later she became a close friend of
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes, and they
correspondent frequently. DIR. Holmes,
Henry Ward Beecher and Sir Edward
Thornton, Minister from England,
were frequent guests at Mrs. KEEL
logg's home, fine old colonial
house just west of the Henry w.
Longfellow house on East street.

ture. Here we have a rugged, rock
bound coast, a land of crags and
cliffs, stretching away to Cromarty
Point on the horizon. The only relief
to this rugged outline is this short
stretch of sandy beach curving inward
from the lighthouse to the village of
Rosemarkie. On the margin of this

their little fishing boats, or cobles,

inches from the shore.
In this little cottage, which l now
touch with my pointer, l was born.
AT the back of the village. and run
ming up along the coast, you see a
long succession of crags and preci-
pices. For generations these crags
have been the playground of the
Highland lads from the surrounding
villages. Once in five years they
hold festival of Highland games in
this vicinity, sometimes in one vii
lage, sometimes in another. They call
it a Crag Carnival, the principal event
being a crag-climbing contest, the
prize for which is valuable climbers
outfit and the coveted title, King of
the Cragsmen.'
When nineteen years of age won
this trophy. Now, close to my birth
place here, is the seat of Robert Sal
toun, the Master of Ethie. At the
time l speak of he had one son, a
handsome, adventurous little fellow,
some ten or twelve years old, and a
daughter, Maggie, who was two years
my junior. Maggie and l were class
mates in the Academy of a neighbor-
ing town, and really cannot remem-
Der the time when We were not closest
friends and lovers. The Laird and his
| family used every means in their
power to put stop to this youthful
and romantic attachment, but their
efforts were altogether in vain. AS
for the Laird, he was a good deal of
tyrant and very little love was lost
between him and the villagers. He
was a man Of ungovernable temper,
and any opposition to his will was
to him simply incomprehensible
When he found out that he could
neither brighten me nor put stop to
our secret correspondence, his anger
was indescribable, and more than
once he threatened me with bodily
injury. Finally, he used his power as
the landlord of my widowed mother
to Danish me from the village. l had
shown considerable talent in model
ling and carving in clay and other ma
terials, so the Laird put me in the
way of obtaining a scholarship at a
School of Design in Edinburgh. For
my mothers sake / studied hard and
took high honors at this school, and
before long began to make name
for myself among artists and others
who were glad to patronize student
of unusual talent
Now, DR.. Hoyt, you perceive how
cleverly those crags and ravines have
been carved out of the bank Of clay
which was thrown up against the
south wall of the shed. The little
ferns, the low bushes, the lodges

Stuffed Onions Are delicious.

Onions are chiefly employed as
1avoring. Take two large onions and
remove the outside skin carefully and
neatly: cut the root and the stalk
end even. Take all the centre out of
the onions except three or four of the
outer coats, taking care not to make
hole at the bottom; II hole is ac-
cidentally made. it must be filled up
with the bit that came out Put four
tablespoonfuls of chopped cooked
meat into bowl, and half a cupful
of grated bread. one teaspoonful OF
flour, two tablespoonfuls of milk, salt
and pepper to taste. Fill the onions
with this stuffing and put on the lids.
Place them in small saucepan, pour
in a cupful of stock or water, and
stew the onions gently for one hour.
Serve on hot dish, with the gravy
poured round them.-The Delineator.

scrambling upward with the JOY in
my heart that only a cragsman can
understand. In this way, after thirty
minutes perilous climbing, reached
the crest of the ridge, which, as you
see, strikes up into the air like fin
from fish's back. On its razor-like
edge | sat astride for a minute or two

twenty feet away ON the other side
of the gorge. He was evidently ex-

plies to my shouts of encouragement.
was then at least three hundred feet
above the base of the cliff. Time was
pressing. so l Immediately signalled
to the cheering people below that
was going to jump the gorge. 1t was
already late in the evening, another
storm was brewing, and | knew that,
in all probability, the ledge and the
overhanging crag would slide down
during the night. The sea-birds, dis
turbed from their accustomed haunts,
were clamoring noisily around me,
and far away on the reefs fog bell
was pealing its dismal monotone.
Above me, or the overhanging
crag, the Laird and some of mis- men
had crawled out and were anxiously
watching my movements, while be-
low at the base of the mountain l
could just distinguish Maggie and a
number of her girl companions, all
gazing upward with Misunderstanding
eagerness and suspense.
This glimpse of Maggie watching
my efforts renewed my courage and
strength, and I went to work with re-
doubled energy leveling off the razor
like edge on which had been seated.
In this wa. soon made a tolerably
nat and secure run of about thirty
feet. And. DR.. Hoyt, while l was
digging away with my dirk, can tell
you my mind was busy. said to my
self: This jump means death. Well,
what to me Is life without Maggie?
If | fail and fall she will not be
ashamed OF me, she will know that
l would have rescued the boy If l
could, and that do this to consecrate
my undying affection. AS for her
father, the Laird, with all his money
and his acres, he is nothing but a
heartless tyrant, and so, live or die,
it will be something to lay him and
his proud family under tribute in this
way to the son of fisherman.
so, bracing my energies with these
thoughts, raced to the edge of the
narrow spur and sprang straight out
for the ledge. i fell short, but only
a few inches, and my dirk, which
had held ready for the purpose, was
buried up to the hilt in the bank. It
held fast, and in this way l stuck to
the face of the crag like fly on a
pane of glass. Then, with supreme
effort, | swung myself up on to the
ledge, and a second later / had the
boy in my arms.
What followed is quickly ex-
planned. BY means of ropes they
lowered o man from the top of the
crag. OF course, he couldn't swing
in under the ledge, but he caught my

Mrs. Grants Work For Tots.

While many other army women

Mrs. Frederick Dent Grant was devot-

Robert M. La Toilette, of Wisconsin;
Miss Helen Varick Boswell, of New
