haired, and instinctively recognized
a brother Scot. Some whim impelled
me to speak to him. At first, am

many city sharks he had read Of, but
a few sentences put him at his ease.
He was difident at first, and it was
only after some coaxing that / extract
ed the simple story of his life before
and after he had come to America.
Ten years ago he had left his ma
tive village in Ayrshire to go to Can
ada, and he had prospered to such an
extent that he bethought himself Of
wife. His fancy turned to the old
country and he determined to ask a
girl to come out to the new land and
share his lonely farmhouse.
When he came, however, to making
his choice, he was in. a quandary. He
had left home shortly after his school
days, and the memory of his childish
playmates was somewhat faded and
dim. He could plainly see two girls;
one strong armed, red haired and
rosy checked, fit mate for a farmer;
the other slim, dark and showing
promise of early delicacy. One was
Mary Johnston, the other Christina
Davidson, but he was doubtful il his
mind as to which was which. At
school he had never called them by
any other name than their nicknames
of Roosty-pow and Toosey-heid, from
the red hair Of the one, and the tan
gled curls Of the other.
Finally he arrived at a conclusion
and wrote home to Mary Johnston of
fering her the shelter of his strong
arms and incIosing a substantial draft
for her expenses.
