She told her that the fashion was for

GREAT ESTATES BROKEN UP
AMons 5r;tiah Lands Recently Placed
Y On tho Market Are Those Of the
cs,ncrons.

II one IL not too deeply stepped in
ro,aance lie may fail to feel remorse
ut the sale Of many Of the large Eng
llsh estates, for the greater part of
their broad lands are. of agricultural
value. With Scotland it is rather diff
ferent, for there is much that Is no
more than heath and rock, where
there is no more than beauty and sen
timent and romance, and that in every
stone and srrig.
The real Highlander feels sad when
he reads thai the wide Cameron es-
tates Of 117.0O0 acres, including the do.
mains Of historic Lochaber and
Lochiel, are In the market. They in
clude big sheep range and some
valuable timber, but that is about all
commercially. for deer. black-game
and wild duck are not articles Of
trade.
In the old days the great lairds
maintained these Wild lands and their
wild retainers out Of their own pock-
els; now they cannot afford 1t and
lands and retalners have to SO. In all
the Highlands, probably there is no
clan better known by name and story
to the world than the mighty Gamer
ons. The Cameron Highlanders, "The
March of the CAmeron Men, Lochiel's
slogan and the Lochaber Ak, are
spoken of everywhere.
There was not II Cameron among
the "Seven Men Of Glenmoriston"
(who were Grants, MacDonells. Mac
gregors and Chlsholms). but they were
connected with almost every other
episode of the gallant young Prince
Charles sad and brief career. The
beautiful estates now in the market
were forfeited on that account. to be
restored half century later. this be-
ing the only break In the Cameron
