SCOTLAND'S PALLADIUM

IN the most honorable location in the Ar
l gyll battery of Edinburgh Castle is
huge piece of ancient artillery which is
known as Mons Meg This old-fashioned
piece of ordnance is held in the highest es-
TEEN by the Scottish people; in fact, it holds
a position in their hearts similar to our feel
ings toward our own Liberty Bell.
Mons Meg was made at Mons, Belgium,
about the year 1903, by order of James w,
and was named Meg in honor of his wife,
Margaret Tudor, the daughter of Henry
VII. Its great bulk and weight rendered it
almost worthless in those days of hand-to-
hand conflicts However, it was used on
special occasions to help celebrate national
events. In the reports of the financial tran
sactions of the times may be found charges
for grease for Meg's mouth" this was used
to increase the loudness of the report), rib
bons to deck her carriage, and pipes to be
played before her when accompanying the
Scottish army on an expedition. After the
union in 1907 the people feared that the
"odious surrender of national independence
would be consummated by the removal of
Mons Meg to England. In 1857 the piece was
removed to Woolwich; but it was restored
to Scotland in 1928, @to quiet the people
Although only mere mass of rusty iron,
it is revered by the people today, and is al
ways decorated with thistle and other flow
ers on anniversary days. In professions it
has always had the place of honor; but re-
Gently it was decided that it was dangerous
to submit it to the shock of carriage and now
it looks down from its resting place over the
great Scot city.

tie slower, the air OF the place gloomier, her
little fiat more unoccupied and ernptier. She
took off her hat and jacket and looked at
herself in the glass. Yes, there were wrin-
kles under her eyes, blue vein was already
beginning to show at her temple. She began
to question herself almost passionately. Was
she really wise in letting life slip by her, in
nursing her hopeless love forever? And then
she smiled little sadly at the sheer inutility
of the question. In her heart she knew that
as long as she lived there could be no man
in her life save one.
GERALD went joyously round to his club,
and almost the first person he saw was
Jermyn. "Hullo. Sir" he exclaimed cheer
fully. DO you know whom I've taken for
a drive in my new car this morning.
I'm quite sure Jernyn replied, that
the circle Of your acquaintance is far too
wide for me to make any reasonable guess.
Unless, he added, his tone growing a trife
colder, you have been round to see Lucile?"
Gerald shook his head. Il was driving in
the park, trying my new car, he explained,
"and saw Miss Cluley standing on the pave
ment. 1t was just an impulse, but it seemed
to me that she looked little lonely. Istopped
and asked her to come for ride, and she said
yes at once. We went right down into the
country for two hours, and I've just given
her some lunch at the Carlton grillroom.'
Jermyn was silent for a moment. Always
rather keen and conscientious analyst of
any unusual emotion, he was absolutely TN
able to account for the curious depression
that suddenly crept in upon him. 1t was
natural incident, absolutely natural. In his
heart he knew that he ought to be glad that
Sybil had had pleasant morning, and yet
he hated it. The boy was nearly of her own
age, a part of the life that she should be
leading. He realized too the utter absurdity
of it, and yet the thought that she had been
seen driving with Gerald alone, had lunched
with him alone, irritated him unreasonably.
He had expected too much of her. Was this
the beginning of the end?
Il am sure Miss Cluley appreciated it,"
he said quietly. "She loves the country"
Isn't she ripper??' Gerald exclaimed en-
Enthusiastically. Il never met anyone so
charming and so easy to talk to. l don't
wonder at your liking to write plays for her,
Sir, he went on. Il only jolly well wish
could. Hullo, Sammy
Gerald passed on to join one of his boon
companions. Jerrnyn went out into the
streets, very quiet and little thoughtful.
He suddenly felt older, a generation re-
moved Perhaps, even, the respectful "Sir'
with which the boy had addressed hi1n-the
hallmark OF his seniority-irritated. He
had left the club meaning to go round and
see Sybil Even after he had called taxi
cab, however, he hesitated. Something told
him that it was better for him to keep away.
"Where to, Sir?' the man asked.
Berkeley Square, Jermyn replied.
They started off and turned into ST.
James, street. Jermyn put his head out of
the window.

If You could see the
Germs inYourThroat

If you might look,
with microscopic vision,
into the hidden chambers
of the throat and see the
malignant germ-life teem-
ing there-as we see it, by
proxy, in Profess
Piorowski's experiments
the sight would more than
convince you of the vital ne
cessity of throat protection.
The throat is the germs
easiest route into the sys-
TEN. Germ destruction,
therefore, becomes a duty
of the first importance. And
FORMAMINT, as Profes-
sor Piorowski has shown,
is the most trustworthy
means of achieving this
throat Cleanliness
Little tablets, handy, pleas
ing in taste--they free in the
saliva a most effective germ
icide that disinteets the most
secluded corners of the throat.
And taken occasionally. they
not only soothe away irritation
but forestaH more serious all
ments. Endorsed by over
10000 physicians-at all drug
gists.

Of curving lanes, lanes whose hedges were
wreathed with dog roses and honeysuckle,
lanes that divided meadows in which larks
were singing, meadows starred with yellow

ALASKA MINER DOES BATTLE
 WITH SAN FRANCISCO POLICE

SAN FRANCISCO.-Albert MOr- ris, an Alaska miner, who gave Chief of Police White, Traffic Officer E. R. Jones and Police Chauffeur James Nealy battle last Monday when an effort was made to arrest him for cruelty to his Eskimo dog, ran wild in Spider" Kelly's Mason street cafe last night, amusing himself by hurl- ing beer glasses through a mirror
 Policemen Nash and Brady were called, but Morris was just as full of fight as when he tackled Chief White. It took a stiff battle on the part of the two policemen before the husky miner was subdued and taken to the city prison.

FORMER ALASKAN MAKES
 GOOD FOR MEXICAN CHIEF

FAIRBANKS.-Although little more perilous at the present time to be a Mexican soldier, it is more lucra- tive, according to Master Signal Electrician Robert Loghry, who is now in charge of the telegraph sta ton here. This fact was demOnstrat- ed by Samuel T. Fiske, a former mas ter signal electrician in the signal corps, who is now a colonel in Villas army.
 According to Sergeant LOghry Fiske was down on the border with the American troops, and was draw ing down about $95 per month, to- gether with his quarters, clothes and food. While that was not so bad in that country, he became dissatisfied and, seeing a chance for adventure, decided to go over to the Mexican side. Upon being discharged from the army he met Villa and made a bar gain with him for his services. He entered the service as lieutenant, but soon went up the line of promotion until he became colonel and chief sig nal officer.
