He entered the cabhv or round- house, looking cool .as you please, and called tor something to eat 'and the dritik to wash It down. He was a well- set, rather small man with a dark face and dnpeing bright eyes. Under his' great coat were two silver-mount- ed pistols,, a dirk and a great-sword. He made his name known; \Alan Stew- art Breek, ahiwlthput fear announced himself as'on a mission for Prince Charlie; Prom a money-belt about him he offered the Captain sixty guineas to be set ashore' on Limine Loch. The Captain shook bands on the. bargain;, but ot once went on deck to plot with his first officer as. to how best to come at the money belt. I had no love for the Captain, and also It was scurvy hospitality to a man we had all but drowned; so ^warned the stranger of the plot. SurpHsed he was bat not put out, asking- me would I stand with him. Jacobite though he'was, I said I would. Two doors and a skylight furnisher] entrance, to She round-house. AlanT placed me. with loaded pistols where I COllld SP<? tri Bhnnr' rhr^^lrf-^wfrn-- SEES NEED OF FEDERAL AID ever might come at one closed door Or through the glass skylight. The other door he left open,, standing before It with dirk and sword,' They came with a rush of feet and many loud cries toward Alan. I heard a shout from him and cry as of someone hurt Then came five men with a spare yard for a battering ram to drive my door '•& For the first time in my life I fired a pistol; and hit one of them, which drove them back. By then, Alan's sword was running blood; .and the first' mate, he who had murdered the. cabin boy, lay dying on the floor. An- other lay beside him. They came next to my side, some to the barred door and one dropping thrpugn the skylight to \the floor, where* after first closing my eyes, I shot him;* He dropped with a horrible groan. Another one's legs- dangled through the skylight, and Win I shot j too, he dropping dead atop of his com- panion. Alan was then dirking one wh6, clung to his legs, and putting the. cutlass to another who was coming head on at. him. A third held a cut- lnss over him and yet more were crowding at-him through the door. He seemed lost; but he broke:dear_an&- taklng his distance, clove one, cUjve another, and then, his sword flashing like quicksilver, drove' the others like sheep along the deck, We were masters of the brig, Alan embraced and' kissed me, saying: 'DavijLi.jovft yon like a brother; But ~0 man, am I no the [bonny fighter!\ and setting down by the table, sword in hand, he burst into a Gaelic song. The very next night weNstruck on a reef.. I -was thrown into the sea, thinking I would drown, but found a spar and with It kicked myself along till my feet found quiet water and dry land. Of -theship or her company I could see nothing. Later I learned that all but the wounded were. safe. The ship herself was a total loss to Captain Jluseason, which I did not grieve to hear. After, days of wandering and secret inquiry, for he was one with a price on hla-head, I fojind Alan. It was in the same hour that I witnessed the kill- ing of Campbell »f Glenure, the man who had been-doing the King's will against the Jacobites. The shot came in such fashion that I seemed to be an accomplice. I had to flee -or J>e hanged. It was Alan who secured my Immediate escape. For two months thereafter, with red-coats guarding .ev- ery road and glen^ I followed Alan tablet^- )ed by\ lillions.\ Metis of iadache, imbago. •. kagaa, *-, llrrllraela—^^1 \T was dawn; the. blackbirds were whistling in the* lilacs, the mists of the valley arising and! melting,: B-hen I set out for the house of \Shaw bn the forenoon of the second, day,,, turning to the top of a hflir-I'sriw the' llty of Edinburgh smoking like a kiln j>riow me. There was a flag upon the Instle and ships anchored to the blue Boor of the Firth, a sight -which thrilled me. I-walked on toward, Cramond, mak-, Jng inquiries as I went of my uncle, Ivho seemed to be in no favor thete- libont;. some giving me a half-civil lyord, some a' scowl or a curse for an •nsner. It was night, and his house larred and dark when I came to It; Ind it was a long while before my lliouts and knocks brought him to the b'indow from where, with a bliinder- luss by way,of Welcome, he screamed |b inquire my business. It was a mean, stooping; ctay-faced Irentnre; and a big muckle house and: kn ill-kept'one I saw when at last he let me in, with dirt, mice and spiders linving their play of It. Here I stayed pme days, the while he sparingly fed ae with porridge and a rare half-cup : ale. One night he gave me 40 pounds,\ it was a debt he owed my. lathpr, and with it gave me also a lusty key to the high stair -tower^teU* Ins me to bring him down the chest Jit the top of it. I went, poor fool, Into the dark to bring It; and only a f'.tak of summer lightning saved me from stepping into space and being fished sheer down from the top of the' lower. Of thp^state that he had defrauded father TnTlfe I had then 'no lus- fclclim; but that happening of the tow- |r gave me a glimpse of his villany. In thcmorrilng my body would be dis- covered at the foot of the tower, his 10 pounds in my pockets, as one try- Ins to escape after robbing his host.- iiat a tale he would make of it! Neit day my uncle spoke of a. friend, Captain Elias Hoseason ef the pig Covenant, then lying off Queens- ferry on the Firth, proposing that I go |o call there with him. I agreed, be- ing eager to get away from that evil Touse; also I had knowledge that re I'ding in Queensferry was Mr. Bahkiel- l°r. the counsellor and agent, a friend- ly person and one who knew more than lay ether of my father's business In |rfe. We arrived at Queensferry, but I : pa not see^Mr^Kankiellor, -foreb'y I- Jrst allowed myself to be led Into look- ing over the brig with Captain Hosea- ^E-ffllLtoy_ttneler-rtt\ was so thaTl f me to be knockerKon the head and pwnaped to ssA- on\the agreement: \\een my uncle and Captain Hosea- -on that I was to be sold into Slavery |n the Carolines.

During this time F bad weather the cabin boy was. filled h y th» first officer in a drunken f«s^nn, hi* body cast overboard and I -i-eswrrinto his berth.

Posted bills promised great re- wards for our capture- 1 -! saw them everywhere^-aiid many there were who Jknewjisjtorjwljai.we were; but never, one, poor and miserable though they might be,' to speak the word of be- trayal. \Such cried- Alan proudly, ''is the loyaity of the Hlelander!\ We came safe at last to Queensferry and the home of Mr. Rankiellor, who proved a shrewd kindly friend and who at once set about retrieving my rights '.In the Shaw estate. \Tour father,\ he explained, \was a good man but weak. He IriVed your mother. To win your' mothe? he let your uncle steal the estates. But we will have them back soon.\ Alan aided us greatly in our plans. Half by quick wit and, half by sheer' boldness, he had my uncle admit his plan to have ^ne kidnaped and sold Into slavery in the Carolines, Mr. Hffnktellor and his clerk all the while listening in the shadows. And so I came- into my-owh. -• And Alan,, who made a man of me? All he asked, was to be nut on'the road of his mission, . As to that, let me say If I say no more, that he went safe orHhfc way and all went well with him thereafter. Copyright, 1919, by the Post Publishing Co: (The Boston Post).

Spanish Industries Hurt.

In standing by the creation of a federal road commission, the officials of the body expressed their belief in the feeling, now generally prevalent throughout the United States among road men, that the time has come when transportation on the highway! Is deserving of more substantial recog- nition than that- accorded it as a bureau, which, while it has been as efficient as the limitations of the law has permitted; would he dignified if elevated to the rank of a commission, and would make possible representa- tion of five different districts of the United Stales with tiieir dlxeraejneeds.
