 That was not till the 12th day of June, and as luck would have 1t drover went past that morning taking some cattle to MofEat He was a man named Hislop, a friend of Turnbun's, and he came into his breakfast with US and offered to take me with him.
 I made Turnbull accept 95 for my lodging, and a hard job I had of it. There never was more independent being. He grew positively rude when pressed him and shy and red and took the money at last without thank you.
 When [ told him how much I owed him he grunted something about "ane guid turn deservin' anither.' You would have thought from our leave taking that we had parted in disgust. Hislop was cheery soul, who chat tered all the way over the pass and down the sunny vale of Annan. I talked of Galloway markets and sheep prices, and he made up his mind was a spack shepherd from those parts, whatever that may be. My plaid and my old hat, as have said, gave me a fine theatrical Scots look.
 But driving cattle is mortally slow Sob. and we took the better part of the day to cover dozen miles If I had not had such an anxious heart would have enjoyed that time. It was shin ing, blue weather; with a constantly changing prospect of brown hills and far, green meadows and a continual sound of larks and curlews and falling streams
 But I had no mind for the summer and little for Hislop's conversation, for as the fateful 18th Sof June grew near I was overweighted with the hopeless difhcu1tfes of my enterprise.

 :. I was decanted at Crewe in the small hours and had to wait till to get train for Birmingham.
 In the afternoon got to Reading and changed into a local train which journeyed into the gdeeps of Berkshire. Presently was in d land of lush wa ter meadows and slow. reedy streams. About o'clock in the evening a weary and travel stained being-a cross be tween farm laborer and vet-with a checked black and white plaid over his arm (for did not dare to wear it south of the border), descended at the little station of Artinswell

 ~NHE road led through a wood
 of great beeches and then into
 a shallow valley, with the
 green backs of downs peep ing over the distant trees. After Scot land, the air smel1ed heavy and flat, but infinitely sweet, for the Times and chestnuts and lilac bushes were domes of blossom.
 Presently came to bridge, below which clear, slow stream flowed be- tween snowy beds of water butter cups.
 A little above it was mi11 and the lasher made a pleasant, cool sound in the scented dusk. Somehow the place soothed me and put me at my ease I fell to whistling as looked into the green depths, and the tune which came to my lips was Annie Laurie.''
 A fisherman came up from the wa fersidey and as he neared be- too, be- gan to whistle. The tune was infec- tious, for he followed my suit. He was huge man in untidy old fannels anG a wide brimmed hat, with a can vas bag <slung on his Shoulder
 He nodded to me, and I thought I had never seen a shrewder or better tempered face. He leaned his delicate ten foot split cane rod against the bridge and looked with me at the water.
