a dilapidated furnace of the kind
that was used for the crude assays
of century back, a smelling pot.
For what?", Adam asked himself,
and the only answer was-for gold!
Adam delved farther. In the
land at that time, as there is at
this time, and perhaps will be a''
ways, was an ancient who follow
ed the trade OF chronicler for his
people. They don't call him bard,
troubadour, minstrel, or any OF
those names connected with stories
of people in the primitive stage.
And perhaps he doesn't sing, or
plav a farp, or sIirl a bagp. pc.
But his job is the same. He Is the
chronicler Of his people. In a
monotone he tells OF their past,
praises tho deeds-of their brave
men even as the troubadour sung
of the con .rr sts of Couer de nIon
or the lard OF the war proweas Of
o Ma"DoTGa1.
And the bard of his highland
was true to his name, true to his
descent from the hard Of the He
land in the far.off Scotland Of
far-off day. Adam wanted a tale
of gold. and the ancient gave him
one-no, many.

he wrapped a romance Of a time

The hospital facilities are Inn

the inmates are suffering from
chronic ailments peculiar to old

they have their hands full at all
