scotland for september
All the ultra-smart Americans in Europe
will be in Scotland for September. This
is the great month there. Although in
consequence of the duchess of Roxburghe's
mourning, things will be comparatively
quiet at Floors castle. birds have to be
shot and 1t is compulsory for her grace to
receive her husbands friends. The shoot
ing at Floors is the finest in Scotland. not
excepting that of Balmoral. When birds
are scarce everywhere else they are to be
found on the moors owned by the duke
CT RoKburghe. Shortly after the advent Of
the duchess. numbers of extra gamekeepers
were added to the staff, with instructions
from her grace to leave nothing undone to
cultivate the game, her object being to
minister to the dukes pet weakness. his
gun. 1t is said that the duchess spends
between $4,000 and $4,000 a year on the
cultivation of the wild birds on her mag
nificent aviary and zoo at Floors.
Every male servant in the employ of the
duke and duchess wears the picturesque
tartan of the Innes kers in his kilt. and the
Scotch bonnet. The duchess has her own
piper, who was selected for the honor bv
the duke, He is a brawny Highlander of
six foot odd and is always in attendance
on the duchess when she is in the north.

CHAPTER XIX.

The little county seat awoke In the
morning to a strange sight. The
storm had not abated The wind was
stiil blowing at blizzard rate of the
northwest hills, and fine, icy snow was
swirling so thickly through the cold
air that vision was INSTRUCTED. Build
ing were distinguishable only as shad-
ows showing family through a heavy
white veil. The thermometer had gone
many degrees below the zero mark. II
was steadily growing colder. The old

break the record the coming night.
An immense fire had been built in
the sitting-room. Thither Mary and
Louise repaired Here they we're

You should be out at the ranch
looking after your poor cattle, Mr..
Langford," said Mary, smilingly. She
could be light-hearted now-since a lit
tie secret had been whispered to her
last night at a tea party where no
tea had been drunk. Langford had
gravitated toward her as naturally
as steel to magnet. He shrugged his
big shoulders and laughed a little.
THE Scribe will do everything that
can be done. Honest, now, did you
think this trial could be pulled OF
without me?"
But there can be no trial today :"
why not?"

that while it is true that he probably

that they could have been true in fact.

SeIf-Defense.

Charges @~ynade against Detective
James A. Halicki of the South Chicago
police station by Peter Gerlich, SS46
Escanaba avenue will be sent to the
office of Chief Shippy Gerlfch charges
that on July II the detective knocked
him down when he attempted to in
tercede for a friend whom Halicki had
arrested. Gerlich was arrested but his
case was dismissed after having been
continued four times, he asserts, be-
cause of the failure of the policeman
to appear.
Halicki according to Captain Halpin,
admits striking Gerlfch in self-defense
when the latter grasped him by the
neck.
Frank Gerlich, son of the complain
ant, declares that Halicki was partly
intoxicated, and arrested friend of
the elder Gerlich. who attempted to
intercede with the detective. The lat
ter struck Gerlich in the face twice and
knocked him to the ground, the son as

Captain Halpin declares the detective
was not intoxicated.

charges are absurd While I did strike
