THE MEDIATOR
By Clinton Danferfield
Copyright, by j. B. Lippincott Co..

William Wallace was worthy of his
name. Worthy too of the astoundingly
hard skull granted by Fate, which en-
abled him to wipe up the ground with
every other goat he met. He spent
his time wandering around the u
locomotive plant, in which his owner
was a superintendent.
Aside from his master, William WAL
lace liked Finnegan and McDougal
best. 1t was a grief to him that his
two friends hated each other. Nc
Dougal was a direct importation from
the Scottish Highlands, and, far from
possessing the ~cautiousness attributed
to the canny Scot. he was belligerent
as any Irishman, though he concealed
this under a brow of contemptuous
scorn.
Finnegan had a red head and plenty
Of ready wit, which last he exercised
so freely on McDougal that it was a
matter of conjecture among the men
as to how long it would be before the
two came to blows.
%Finnegan's last gibe was the pro-
verbal straw, for when asked by an
injudicious youth as to why he had
not "%pounded' the scornful Scot, Fin
negan, remarking McDougal within
%ear-shot, observed pityingly:
Sure, an it's not meself would be
fghtin' wild a poor crathure, jist a
wake or so out of petticuts!"
McDougal approached.

said, significantly, that the Highland

was half over, the men struggling

interest, but this anxiety did not trou-

A WeUl.BujIt Instrument.

When the concert was over, and the

the Burnham inn, where he was to
spend the night, he ventured to ask
his host of the evening if he had en-

He knew she was a light sleeper.
Frequently she had awakened after
having slept only three weeks merely
at the sound of the icebergs crushing

none too steady footballs crunched
through the snow. She heard him as
he was trying to get in through the

stuck her head out of the upper win.
