Slavery fingered IN the Scottish

"The Good Old Times" draws a pic
ture of the Scottish miners unhappy
lot In the past: From about the year
l445 until l7T5 the miners of Scotland
were bought and sold with the soil
It Is stated IN old chronicles that
bIoodhounds were kept to-trace them
If they left their employment and to
aid in bringing them back. BY statute
law miners were bound to work all
days In the year except PaschaI and
Yule. and if they did not work they
were to be whipped in the bodies for
the glory of God and for the good OF
their masters, Not until 177j was the
first law passed in an attempt to better
this state of things, but it was 1899 ere
the law gave the working miner OF
Scotland his complete freedom" =

The rest of the evening was given

The next fortnight was one of pro-

An Ambition
RenOunCed
A Springtime Story Of Art
and Love.
BY EMMA ARCHER OSBORNE.
BY EMMA ARCHER OSBORNE.

II was spring In Madison square.
Leaves on the trees and shrubbery
were growing larger and greener ev-
cry day. The young grass and the
gay young crocuses were vying each
with the other for height and brillian-
cy. Patches Of hyacinths cast their
fragrance upon the air, and the gey-
ser fountain now and then playfully
flung a'splash OF spray over on TO the
big beds of tulips that were doing their
share TO make the old park glorious.
The rows OF benches that lined the
winding walks were again occupied.
mostly by battered specimens of hu-
manity who had taken up their sta
lions for the season TO dream their
worthless lives away under the phan-
tom shadows of the trees.
She had come to the park at first
only occasionally when a springlike
break interviewed in the lingering win
try weather. She entered from the
Broadway side and walked in the d.
rection of Madison avenue, and ii was
noticed that as soon as she stepped
from the street she seemed to feel the
contact Of nature, for she breathed
freer. walked lighter and carried her
little head higher.
Recently she had come every day
when II was fine.
About the same time-the noon hour
he entered the park from the oppo-
site direction. Their meeting was sim
pie and unaffected, with the hoboes.
the cops, the chattering birds and the
busy public to witness II any were
curious enough TO pause and look on.
Usually they strolled in the square
or the neighborhood, chatting and idly
watching the never ceasing and fasci-
mating panorama Of the adjacent busy
streets. Sometimes they interested
themselves in the pack habitues.
She was sort Of frail and reminded
one of the sparrows-a stray sparrow
perhaps because she frequently wore
gray dress, foppy gray hat, long
gray coat and something gray around
her shoulders. Her hair wasn't gray,
for she was young. 1t was-well. ii
reminded one Of fax with lots of gold
Ike glints running through ii. and 1t
was fluffy and crinkled prettily around
her face.
Eyes? Oh. no-they were not gray
either: his were. Hers were blue and
soft and dreamy looking. with long
dark lashes that had a way Of droop-
ing and made one forever want to say
and do things TO compel them upward.
They were not at all the sort Of eyes
for a woman who has any ambitions
toward combating with the stressful
ways Of the world
He? Well. he was just big. sturdy
chap, not overhandsome and but
cheaply clad. Yet the manliness that
beamed from every ineament, the re-
assuring ring in his deep, clear voice,
his frank smile and easy swinging
tread. made him seem comfortingly
dependable.
How are you today, PollyT' was

In tender Difference this time he
voiced his query. Inwardly be declar-
ed she should accompany him whether
or no.
"Oh, Steve" she pouted. uncon-
sciously digging her little hand fur
ther into his big f1st-"Steve, you know
how ambitious l am to become great

She was seized with violent fit OF
coughing which left her weak. and she
waited to recover her voice.
"Boshp was Steve's mental COM
ment to the words prompted by the
fire of genius. Her cough. however,
racked his very heart. He continued
the argument

you. dear girl. and there wouldn't be
anything more glorious or splendid
| than to see you like yourself again,

Then he leaned toward her as If in

voice was so low that the bench loung-

her and waited for her reply.

She saw only theatrical Broadway. a

her.
Again she glanced out on to the busy
lane, signing deeply as she turned
from It
And Steve's heart bounded with re,

the sigh of Remuneration.
She smiled up at him, and he detect

she answered happily, with flicker OF

Maintenance OF Roads.

The maintenance Of the road is as
essential to good farm as the mainten.
ance of the fences ON the place. says
Road and Farm. The road drag is the
best implement known ,oday for earth
road maintenance. If we will ever gel
our earth roads well graded and put
under maintenance with the drag we will
have good, practical country roads at q
minimum cost.
To make an earth road and then not
touch it for year is not maintaining,
but re building If the same amount OF
cost and energy required to annually re-
build many of our roads was distributed
throughout the whole year in proper
dragging. the same roads, would be
better all the time.
IF continuous system Of maintenance
was adopted it would result in better
condition of the roads and frequently
prevent the entire undoing of work al.
ready done.
Traffic and the elements are continually
tearing the roads down. We must be
continually building them up. Eternal
vigilance is the price ofgood earth roads.
