Most varieties of peaches, as

is to perpetuate it's kind. To
this end, left to itself, it devel-

of seeds, with each seed pos

CHAPTER xvI-continued.


Quite a contrast to Wilson was an
other character in our brigade named
Scott; we called him "Old ScOtty" on
account of his age. He was fifty-seven,
although looking forty. "Old Scotty"
had been born in the Northwest and
had served in the Northwest Mounted
police. He was typical cowpuncher
and Indian fighter and was dead shot
with the rifle, and took no pains to
disguise this fact from US. He used to
take care Of his rifle as if it were
baby. In his spare moments you could
always see him cleaning it or polish
ing the stock. Woe betide the man
who by mistake happened to get hold
of this rifle; he soon found out his
error. Scott was as deaf as a mule,
and it was amusing at parade to watch
him in the manual Of arms, slyly
glancing out of the corner Of his eye
at the man next to him to see what
the order was. How he passed the
doctor was. mystery to us; he must
have bluffed his way through, because
he certainly was Independent. Beside
him the Fourth of July looked like
Good Friday. He wore at the time a
large sombrero, had Mexican stock
saddle over his shoulder. lariat on
his arm, and q "forty-five" hanging
from his hip. Dumping this parapher-
MALTA on the floor he went up to the
recruiting officer and shouted: I'm
from America, west Of the Rockies,
and want to join your ID army.
I've got no use for German and can
shoot some. At Scotland Yard they
turned me down; said was deaf and
SO am. / don't banker to ship in with
id underwriting outfit. but the
eavalry's full, so I guess this regi-
Ment's better than none, so trot out
your papers and I'll sign 'em." He told
them he was forty and slipped by. l
was on recruiting service at the time
he applied for enlistment.
II was Old Scotty's great ambition
to be sniper or "body snatcher," as
Mr.. Atkins calls it. The day that he
was detailed as brigade sniper he cele-
brated his appointment by blowing the
whole platoon to flags.
Being a Yank, Old Scotty took Xix
ing to me and used to spin some great
yarns about the plains, and the whole
platoon would drink these in and ask
for more. Ananias was rookie COM
pared with him.
The ex-plainsman and discipline
could not agree, but the officers all
liked him, even if he was hard to man.
age. so when he was detailed as a
sniper a sigh of relief went up from
the officers mess.
Old Scotty had the freedom of the
brigade. He used to draw two or
three days rations and disappear with
his glass, range finder and rifle, and we
would see or hear no more of him
until suddenly he would reappear
with a couple of notches added to
those already on the butt of his rifle.
Every time he got German it meant
another notch. He was proud of these
notches.
But after few months Father
Rheumatism got him and he was sent
to Blighty; the air in the wake of his
stretcher was blue with curses. Old
Scotty surely could swear; some of his
outbursts actually burned you.
No doubt, at this writing, he is
somewhere in Blighty" pussy footing
1t on a bridge or along the wall OF
some munition plant with the &c. r. u
or Home Defense corps.

TQWnleY at Milaca.

Mr.. Townley, president of the Non
partisan league, addressed a large
meeting at the Casino in Milaca yes
terday afternoon. A prominent Milo
farmer informed the writer that Mr..
Townley told some funny stories but
that there was nothing new or part1cu-
larly interesting in what he said.
The burden of his song was
that the farmers were Disseminated
against and that the Nonpartisan
league alone could remedy their griev-
ances.
