me. And yet. while making living,
he might have written for me to come
to him.
But this man for whom / waited did
not return, and In time learned that
he inhabited a trapper's cabin near a
town to the northward called Science
tady, where skins were brought fin by
the Indians. This town was not far
distant, and l went over there with
the next party that 1Ourneyed thfther.
AS soon as l arrived 1 made inquiries
and learned that trapper named Mer-
ivale had built him cabin on the
bank across the Mohawk river, near
the council grounds Of the Indians.
By this time 1 had learned much
self reliance and, securing the loan Of
a boat, I rowed myself across the
river and directed my steps toward the
cabin which had been pointed out to
me from the opposite shore. AS l left
the boat man came out Of the cabin
and stood looking down at me. He
did not have the appearance of my.
husband, but as he advanced toward
me there was something in his walk
that set my heart wildly beating. AS
he came nearer l looked upon his fea-
lures with a view to noting If l had
seen him before. but they were COW
cred with a thick beard and | could
not be certain. When we came close
together both stopped and peered into
each others faces. l was about to
fall backward in a swOOn when he
sprang forward and caught me In his
arms.
He was my jamie.
Then and there he told somewhat or
those things that had happened to him
since we had parted.

to America and bury himself where he

he might make a more honorable l1V-
ing than on the road. From New York

a point nearer the grounds where furs
were to be obtained.
I had set out from England to seek
my husband and had found a lover
whom l had discarded for that hus-
band. And now l must return without
either the husband or the lover. But
jamie knew what did not know. He
had received information which con.

been sent to America, but had been
made away with. Since Jamie was
thus made the legal heir to the title
and estates, which were entailed, Car
bondale had hunted for him with a
view to turning him over to the law to
be dealt with as a highwayman. If
he could secure his execution none
would be left to dispute Carbondale's
right to the property. But of all this

HER
JAMIE
A Historical Story of Eng
land and America.
By F. A. mitchell

1t was q sorry day for me when my
father came to me and told me that
must give up all thought of my Jamie
and marry Sir Ernest Merivale. The
one loved, but l knew that he was
unsteady; the other l respected and
was sure that he would make me a
good husband. There were whisper
ings concerning Jamie that | did NOT
like. 1t was said that after the defeat
OF the cavaliers by the rOundheads
he had followed in the footsteps of
so many of the kings adherentS and
taken to the ross2 TO make a living
AS for SIR ernest. he was as steady as
a rock and as true as steel. But Jamie
had won me by that sweet smile of
his, and | did not love Sir Ernest.
The Merivales had lived near us for
many years. Ernest and Jamie were
cousins, though Ernest was a good ten
years older than Jamie. Ernest was
an only son, and when he came into
the title and estates by the death of
his father his mother urged him to
marry that he might have an heir.
was then a little girl. and he said he
would wait till | had grown. and he
would marry none but me. But of
this l knew nothing at that time,
though | noticed he seemed fond of
me and gave me many a trinket.
Sir Ernest did not approve of many
OF the kings acts and sympathized
with the parliament. Though he did
not take up arms against the king,
the rOyalists were bitter against him
and vowed that when they had over
come their enemies they would punish
him for not defending his sovereign.
When father tod me that | must
give up jamie and marry Sir Ernest
! shut myself up in my room and
wept bitter tears. But after awhile
grew calm and began to think. not
like a foolish girl caught by a bauble,
but as one called upon TO decide be-
tween that bauble and the promise of
a life of comfort And yet the former
was unattainable. for Jamie had no
fortune, and knew that the report
concerning him was true. He had
made himself an, outlaw.
There was nothing left me but %
marry Sir Ernest, and that / did. He
was very loving and tender with Il

him sent out OF the country or that he
had been given the choice between
death and betaking himself to a re-
mote locality. where he could make no
effort to regain his estate, which had
passed into the possession Of Lord
Carbonate for services to the kings
father during the parliamentary war.
Possibly he might have fed thither, as
certain regicides had done.
/ saw no hope Of learning the truth
as to whether this Merivale mentioned
as being in New York was my hus-
band without going there to see for
myself. So l took ship for that coun-
try, though my friends endeavored to
dissuade me. / was sick at heart at
seeing those with whom l would have
to voyage for so many weeks, for they
were a motley crew. Some were Grim
inals. who had been given their lives
and liberty provided they would go to
the new continent. Some were broken
down spendthrifts, and there were
among these sprinkling of the young
er sons of gentlemen.
York saw that the country YEAS beau
tiful. But the people proved uncouth-
that is, they were living in conditions
far different from what pertained to
England. AS soon as l had found an
abiding place began a search for the
man l believed to be my husband; but,
although there were few people in the
town, did not find him.
But one day met person who told
me that he had knowledge of one Mer-
ivale, who had set out northward to
engage in the trade Of skins of wild
animals. 1 was discouraged at this
and began to think that l had been
unwise in coming on so long a jour-
ney to find a husband who did not
think it worth his while to inform me
Of his whereabouts. Moreover, my in
formant could not tell me what man
ner of man this person was, and he
might not be my husband after ALL
However, having come so far. l re
solved to go further. / took passage
In a sloop bound for trading post on
the west bank at the headwaters of
Hudson's river, and reached it after a
few days travel At this trading port.
which is now called Albany, l made
inquiries for the Merivale l had fol
lowed so far, only to learn that he
was out trapping wild animals for
their skins.
So l must needs wait for him to
come in. While 1 waited I received
a letter that had been brought by one
who had come in ship soon after
had left England and sent on to me
at Albany, which informed me that it
was believed my husband had been
put on a ship by his enemies and sent
to America, but the writer did not
know for what port the vessel had
sailed.
was now encouraged to believe that
the man I was looking for was my
husband, though. / could not under
stand how he could have .contented
himself to engage in an occupation In

treating me as a bit of china that he
feared to break When he said to me
Joanna, / would not have you do vic
lenee to your heart. and 1 conjure you
not to marry me without your love-"
was ashamed that | was about to dc
that very thing. But l resolved that
would put jamie out OF my mind and
live only for my husband.
When King Charles ii. was restored
to the throne those who had sworn
vengeance upon Sir Ernest trumped
up charges against him. Knowing that
he was in great danger and wishing to
keep it a secret from me or perhaps
fearing that his enemies would tnf1ict
some direct punishment on me. he sent
me to an aunt I'm Scotland to abide till
the storm should have blown over and
he might again feel measure of
safety.
While was In Scotland my husband
sent me letters by the post, but there
came a long interval between his writ
ings. and wondered. When a month
had passed and no word had come
from him l told my aunt that | would
go back to England. Then she told
me that Sir Ernest had been arrested
for high treason against the king, that
his estates had been SeQuestered and
that. having no home. l should remain
with her in Scotland.
Despite her pleadings l left her and
made the journey TO London. for my
husband had been sent to the tower.
and expected to find him there. More
over, intended to go to the king and
plead for him. But when | reached
the capital l found that the king was
so engrossed with milady Castlemaine
that could not get hearing. | went
to the tower and asked to see my huS-
band, but was told by the lieutenant
that he was not there. He had been
received there as a prisoner, but after
time had been delivered to Lord Car
bondale by order Of the king.
Now. | knew that Lord Carbonate
was the bitterest of all Sir Ernest'S
enemies. and it was he who had made
the threats to be revenged for my hus-
bands support of the parliament,
though this was not the true cause of
his lordships enmity. The two had
been fellow students at Oxford. and
Ernest had accused Carbondale OF
cheating at cards. l feared that this
enemy. with the kings permission, had
taken my husbands life or had kept
him a secret prisoner. spent months
trying to find a trace of him. but no
trace could find.
One day there came news from
America that the English had taken
from the Dutch the town of New AM
sterdam and renamed it for the kings
brother, the Duke Of York. In the ac-
count of these proceedings mention
was made of one Merivale. Could this
be my husband? If so, what did it
mean that he had gone to this new
country. leaving me. his wife. in Eng
land ignorant of his going? believed
that his enemies had contrived to have

BATTLE IN THE SKY
TO BE seen AT STATE FAIR
Two Daring Aviators Will Fight 1000 Feet Above
the Excited Crowds to Show How Bird Men Duel
to Death in Great European War. ~

as they guide their machines in thrill
ing maneuvers.
While the fighting is going on
1000 feet above the crowds, soldiers
and artillery on the ground will con-
tinue to try to disable the attacking
aviator.
Suddenly the thousands looking on
will be shocked as they see the mill
tary observer in the attacking biplane
tumble from his seat and hurI to
earth. Soon after the attacking avi-
ator will be compelled to escape with
his disabled biplane, and the battle
will be at an end.
While tbs battle in the sky is in
progress, motor will hurl bombs
toward the attacking machine. These
bombs will rise 500 feet before they
explode with terrific force From
these bombs will unfold flags of all
nations.
While the battle is on bands will
play patriotic airs. At noon each day
the two aviators also will present
thrilling patriotic programs, and on
Monday one of them will race two
miles against motorcycle. The avn
ator will keep within twenty feet OF
the flying motorist.
The battle in the air is the great
est aviation act out this year, and 1t
was signed by Secretary Oliver e.
Remey for this years State Fair at
Fenton, Michigan, on June 4th. Since
that date many other state fairs and
other big gatherings have arranged
for this stellar attraction.
This one act alone is worth the
price of admission to the State Fair.
