@AVIN DISHART was barely
 " twenty-one when he and his
 mother came to Thrums. All Thrums was out in its wyndes and closes--a few of the weavers still in knee. brooches, to look at the new Auld Licht minister. was there, the dominic of Glen Quharity, four miles from Thrums, and heavy was my heart as I stood afar of so that Gavtn's mother might not have the pain of seeing me. I alone of the crowd looked more at her than at her son.
 g, Eighteen years had passed since we parted, and already her hair had lost its brightness, and Margaret was an old woman at forty-three, and I, who had loved her since I was a hobblede- hoy and shall till die, am the man who made her old.
 Many scenes in the little minister's life come back to me. The first time ever thought of writing his love story m old mans gift-to little maid since grown tall, was one night in the old schoolhouse, when my gate creaked the first time ever saw Gavin and the Egyptian together.
 Gavin was brought up to be a min- lster from his earliest days, and took to the idea enthusiastically. It had been the dream of the two of a manse, of which Margaret was mistress, and Gavin the minister, and now 1t was fulfilled.
 Gavin at once became popular in Thrums, and though short of stature he cast a great shadow. He convert ed a drunkard. Rob Dow, who adored him, and would do anything in the world for him.
 On the fateful evening of October r, Gavin was returning from Rob Dow's and going home through Caddam woods, when he heard singing.
 The singer came dancing up Windy ghoul. Only when she passed him did Gavin see her as a gypsy elf, bare feet flashing beneath a short green skirt, twig of rowan berries in her black hair. She was pale with an angel loveliness. A diamond on her finger shot thread of fire over a pool as she danced by.
 Undoubtedly she was the devil. Gavin leaped after her, but as she saw him she beckoned mockingly, then kissed her hand, and was gone.
 A moment later came the sound of a horn. The minister was on the alert at once, and hurried to the Square. That horn was a signal that soldiers were marching on the village folk to arrest some malefactors among the weavers, who would re- sent it.
 In the Square was an uproar. It was the gypsy who had given the warn- ing. Gavin tried to persuade the peo- pie to disperse to save bloodshed. but the Egyptian cried:
 Do not heed this little man. Save yourselves" and they obeyed her. The soldiers came, but caught only few, the real culprits escaping. The Egyp- tian was caught, but escaped the officers, first through a clever ruse, and again through impudently pretending she was Gavin's wifel
 He was furious, and yet felt his an- ger die as heslooked at the beautiful girl the appealing eyes, and coax ing, laughing mouth. He even told her to hide in, the manse garden in the summer seat, till the soldiers had gone.

basis OF practically continuous

relate to trainmen and enginemen

railroads have actually had only
two or three hours work a day bu,

day. 1t is said that there are many
instances of station agents who
open suburban stations for an hour
in the morning and again at night
handling only two trains a day. In
the interim they have established
themselves in private business
drawing pay from the roads for
an eight-hour day as well as from
their own business pursuits.
