VIII Weather the Storm,

In his communication on King
Whiskey' of recent date Captain
h. w. Marston observes; Il hope the
Caucasian will weather the coming
storm" Unless swept from the face
of The earth the Caucasian will
weather the coming storm, which
is not specified. The Caucasian
weathered the Louisiana Lottery
storm, when every lottery man with
drew his ad from the Caucasian.
Net only did the Caucasian wealth
er the lottery storm but it was the
only opponent Of the lottery in
Shreveport and Caddo Parish. 1t
helped to beat the lottery into a
frazyle. 4.-.
Since then the Caucasian has
weathered several storms.
In The prohibition cyclone of a
few years ago, the Caucasian lost all
the ads of the whiskeyites. II had
the patronage for commercial and
other printing of Is per cent Of the
French people, which has been re-
duced to about one per cent.
I And we still live.
When ii comes to what is styled
boycott we have realized the fullest
share of this means Of retaliation.
II was ON Friday that the Caucas-
ian was advised by mail: "You will
please discontinue our adj
This "you will please" is traceable

But we will continue to live If not

close to the tail of the animal.
The Caucasian would say that it
has never been muzzled and should
ii ever be compelled TO be silent
when 1t should speak boldly for the
good and the rights of all The peo-
pie, its plant will be dumped into
the river and its editor will leave
town.
The Caucasian's friend. Captain
Marston. need not worry about the
Caucasian weathering the coming
storm whatever II may be. II is thor
pughly familiar with lightning and
thunder has been in a tornado and
has been in close proximity to ey-
clones.

The Champion Discovered

Suddenly there was a cry of surprise through the crowd. A wild-eyed, half naked man came running through the throng. Haggard, he looked around as 1t dizzy and in pain.
 All knew him at once; 1t was Sir Will liam of Delorainel There was in an in- stant great confusion and excitement
 ''Then who are your" said the marshals of the lists to the victorious champion.
 Swiftly his helmet was undone and when he doffed 1t he answered "Crans- toun of Tivot-side." He stepped to where the heir of Buc- cleuch was standing holding the hand Of one of the English lords and said; T have fought for this prize-and won. He took the boy by the hand and led him to his mother.
 She took the boy In her arms, but did not deign to speak 10 Baron Henry though he kneeled at her feet.
 The story of the love Of Henry and Margaret had been bruited about the com pany, and now Douglas. Home, Howard and all the great lords there assembled begged Lady Bucceuch to forget the an cient feud and consent to the union of Lord Cranstoun and the "Flower of Te- viot"
 They argued 1t as the train swept back to the castle and at length Lady Buc- cleuch gave her consent saying, Fate has vanquished me"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-07-21
Leaders Fall Out

Lord Dacres, with his usual impetuos- ity, advised that the castle be assaulted and taken before the Scottish army could arrive.
 But Howard, soberer and sounder of judgment, called such proposition mad ness, and commanded that the terms of the Lady of Buccleuch be accepted-Mus- grave would meet William of Deloraine In single combat.
 Sullenly Dacres acquiesced. But those two chiefs were never friends from that day.
 The English herald now came out again before the castle wall and said that his masters had commanded him to say that they accepted the terms of the Lady of Buccleuch.
 He sounded fanfare upon his trum- pet. and throwing down gauntlet. de- fled, in behalf of Musgrave, Sir William of Deloraine to single combat.
 If Deloralne vanquished Musgrave the heir of Buccleuch would be delivered up and the English army retire fin peace to Cumberland If Musgrave was the ylc- tor then the young Buccleuch should remain hostage for his clan in the hands of the English.
