Pike himself had queer twist OF

pervaded the very atmosphere about
him. and the smile with which he re.
garded the letter he held had q world
Of Renaissance and sadness IN 1t.
AS, he gazed at it the letter seemed
to fade into nothingness, and In its
place there rose the picture OF day
years before, a day that caused the
dingy wallis Of the Office to become,
tenuous and gauzy. and through the
gauze he seemed to see another Office
q ramshackle sort Of place, with tin
sign showing through the window
which informed the passerby that real
estate was the commodity dispensed
within. To Pike the picture grew yet
more distinct. and In the broken bot
tom cane chair he saw the figure OF
heavy faced man In his shirt sleeves
engaged in smoking corncob pipe.
In another corner OF the room he
could see red headed boy porting over
a pine table. laboriously copying in
round hand some title deeds. Then,
through the reaches Of the past, he
seemed to hear the heavy faced man
remove the pipe from his mouth and
heard him speak.

Scotland and Horse Racing.

Scotland has been famous for its horses from the most ancient days When Agricola defeated the Caledo- nians at the battle of the Grampians, A. D. s4. the Celtic enemy, as Tacitus relates, were exceptionally strong in cavalry and charioteers. Successive kings of Scotland did much to improve it's native breed of horses, and In this connection it Is not to be forgotten that the first Scottish king of Eng land. James l.. did more to improve the race horses in our island than WAS ever done before him or has ever been done by any individual since. James I. was the real author of horse racing as It has since been known in England.
