LOCKARD General Manager of the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Limited. JUDGE FROWNS ON PASTOR. New Westminster, Dec. 16- Mr. Justice Morrison yesterday morning administered a rebuke to Rev. Dr. H. W. Fraser because the latter had commented in a sermon last evening on the riot cases now before the special assize, some disposed of and some not reached by the jury. His lordship's remarks came without previous notice when Mr. A. D. Taylor, counsel for the crown, made an application to have tho jury in the South Wellington cases, which were started this morning, kept in confinment during the course of the trial. Mr. Taylor said that there had been an attempt to tamper with the last jury. Mr. J. Edward Bird, council for the defence, in the course ol of a dignified reply, denied thai his clients had done anything ti* attempt to influence any juryman. He referred to a recent speech of Gosden in .the Horse Show Building in Vancouver, ii which warning was given ti cabinet ministers to be careful that poison was not administered to them. "All union men deplore the making of those statements, "said Mr. Bird emphatically. His lordship agreed to allow the jury to be kept in custodj and smilmgly assured the twelve men that the sheriff had promised to look after them in the verj best possible manner. The court however, declined to order intc custody the ten accused mil who are out on bail. Continuing, his lordship sairi that he regretted that ar Vancouver morning paper had published the report of a sensational sermon by Rev. Dr. Fraser. dealini with the strike, the riot, etc, The court disapproved of tht practise of trying cases by public discourse before they had beer heard by the courts. Several of the cases had not yet been before the judge and jury, and it was not only unfair to comment upon the matters involved, but it was destihctly against the law to dc so. It was unfortunate that the spokesman of a prominent churct had dealt with matters of the gravest importance in this way. J'Dr. Fraser happens to be a pastor in my own church," Justice Horrison continued. Before making such statements one should get the absolute truth of so grave a situation as that which exists in British Columbia. I cannot conceive of a more serious act than to start a campaign causing jurymen to neglect their sworn duty. If Dr. Fraser's statements are correct, then a very serious state of affairs exists here. CHALLANGE TO DR. FRASER. The Nanaimo Daily Herald, of which Mr. J.S.H. Matson of Victoria is the proprietor, has ient the following telegram tt The Province for publication: "The Daily Herald of Nanaimo ihallenges the Rev. Dr. Fraser if Vancouver to make good the several statements he is reported to have made in his sermon on Sunday evening, as reported' in he Vancouver Sun on Monday, Dec. 15, in reference to the strike if coal miners in Nanaimo and :he subsequent arrest of the nen charged with rioting, the same tn be debated in a leries of articles published in my daily newspaper of Van- •ouver that the Rev. Dr. Fraser nay select." Dr. Fraser has declined the nvitation saying he did not care to enter into any further discussion of the strike. He had taken the notorious Hedley pamphlet is the source of his information. LOCAL NEWS. D. A. Thomas arrived in this city on Thursday.

William Potter, the faithful and energetic janitor of the Cumberland Public Schools, on Friday the day Christmas vacation commenced, gave the pupils a surprise by presenting each room with boxes of oranges. The janitor solicited the oranges and the following merchants kindly donated towards making it a success: William Potter, A. H. Peacey. Alex McKinnon, George Tarbell, Simon Leiser and Co., T.Rickson, MacfarlaneBros.Ltd., John Morocchi, J. Bannerman, The Ideal Store, Comox Co-operative, and Thos, E. Bate. Some of the pupils wish the ISLANDER to thank Mr. Potter and the merchants for their kind donation. PIOUS ASSERTIONS. The Socialist Mayor of Cumberland is again in the field, asking for reelection. His election card makes very pretty reading but it fails to ring true. After throwing a few honeyed words to the wage-earners, very flattering to their vanity, the Mayor proceeds to state that "thestrict- est economy will 'continue' to have his closest attention." "Continue" is good. We suppose he means hy this that illegal taxes will "continue" to be exacted from the taxpayers, and that the city funds will "continue" to be disbursed among the lawyers in an endeavour to force payment of these illegal exactions. The next clause in Mayor Campbell's ticket is very good and indicates an unexpected degree of magnanimity. We are informed that local improvements of an expensive character will be proceeded with when the local property owners, to be benefited thereby, desire them and are at Lhe same time prepared to bear the cost," Now under these conditions we wonder how our enlightened Mayor is going to do other than proceed with them. Under the conditions named it would manifestly be his duty to proceetl with them, we fail to see why he should use this opportunity to pat himself on the back for doing what the majority of men would as a matter of course. I'he succeeding clause is an announcement that he will raise money for general improvements on the credit of the municipality. We admire the Mayor's sanguine temperament, but we cannot help feeling that he and his satellites have done their best during the past year to shatter what little credit the city ever possessed. Perhaps he is unaware of this, and yet it is very significent that Mayor Campbell is appealing to the electorate on almost every either ground except his past record. Surely his silence on this point is not accidental? Steve Miller was held up at the rear of the post office on Tuesday evening when two men relieved him of >35 in cash. THE ISLANDER, CUMBERLAND.

Ho tried to speak ensil." and naturally but his voice was steel-like and his features were set and rigid.

A stranger in a slrange world he had to play many parts and he had come t the conclusion that the most Important of all was llie part of spy. A private detective who shadow himself! And Hetherlngton the private detective asked Sir George lletherington the suspected persoi how long he had been running this London establishment, when and where he had met the present Lady Hetherlngton and how many mon Ins—or years—she had been Iris wife. Was he a father? Hal children been born to him? His heart thrilled at the idea, a warm glow pervaded his nho'.o body, but the next Instant he jrew coli* witb a shiver ot repulsion.

Tie heavy lidded eyes half closed; she inhaled deeply of the tobacco. 1 forgot you alway-r smoke il Virginian cigarettes. It's unfortunate we both hav i such bad memories, Isn't lt? He was fencing Cleverly, leading up to the crlcis which he know couldn't be avoided. Sooner or later he would have to tell her that his mind was a blank, that he bad no memory of tie past, no knowledge of her and—most bitter confession to make to a woman and a wife—no love for her. It would have been easier had she been more ordinary, had she been of geMle English birth. But beneath the grace and languor and soft femininity of this woman there lnrked the tigress. If she loved him, he kite Carmen would fight for his love tooth and nail, would fight for all tie rights law and lite and nature gave her, and if she knew sho had a rival in his heart— Hethcrington dared not pursin his train of thoughts. Peggy Mehon was lost to him! Lot the brief dream of happiness ln a new life, of a .ome among tie moorlands, of children who would beat his name and in the future perhaps bring lt fame and honor. He would see Peggy once again; right or wrong he would have to do that. And he would tell her tie whole truth; tho story ot his miserable home-coming trom the moment he had awakened to consciousness on tho moo. land road above Cranby Hall; tlie visit of the man Bister that same evening, the accusation of murder and his tacit acknowledgement of the crime by succumbing to blackmail. She might not believe that his conscience was clean of crime; he begat to despise himself for aavinE held his tongue and played tie jart of coward—even criminal. Well, Peggy should know and she—the woman he loved better than lite — Bhould Judge hiin, and if she •fhose to speak and he were tried and condemned for a crime of which he had no knowledge of committing, he would pay the penalty. He laughed at the thought. He would not much care now. Death would he easier than lift; it would need all his pluck to cll'ig to the ltttei and none at all to fling himself once again into tho unknown. Perhaps t'eath alone held tie key to the horrid mystery which surrounded him.' Death—and perhaps this woman his wife. She had curled herself .p on the chesterfield beside his chair—a mass ot purple cushions— disclosing and hiding her snakelike supple body. He became conscious rhat her eyes were fixed on him as though trying to read his thoughts; ho fancied he saw many emotions surging up from their dep' s and among them expectation and curiosity; on her scark lips a little smile of amused contempt. You are uot verj entertaining, ( orge. And you ure not very affectionate. We are not going to quarrel all over again, are wc? I thought, I hoped that all that sort uf thing was past and over now that Oscar Soral is out of the way. She had come to the point with startling suddenness. It seemed indeed as though Carmen had read his thoughts. lletheiinglon was unprepared; he had no reply ready. Who told you that Oscar Soral was out of the way? Carmen waited a moment before replying. She saw that Hetherlngton was embarrassed and she seemed to be enjoying lhe situation. He told nn so himself. Hetherlngton Jumped lo his feet, but with an effort recovered his composure quickly, Carmen was as Ignorant as lie as to what had transpired on the fritnl night of his return to Cranby Hi'iherinulpn's self confidence returned. She knew rvhat had happened before his journey to the moorlands; he knew what had happened after his his arrival there, lint neither ot them really knew what had passed between him and Oscar Soral during the short unknown space of time which linked the past and present together, lt Is probable that If Hetherlngton had been free and this woman had hern anything In tils world to hlra but his wife, he would have been unable to restrain his impatience, but flinging himself upon her mercy, would have I rusted her and told her then and there of the ghastly dilir.ima in which he found himself* He realized the bitter irony of the fact that Carmen was his wife and he could not trust her!

The twelve story building of tie Consolidated Gas Company now being erected at Fifteenth street and Irving place has six stories that are practically soaring In midair without foundation. The Engineering News explains the phenomenon as follows; As the old building ls not strong enough to bear this additional weight lt was decided to suspend six of the aeven additional stories from heavy girders, the girders tiemselves being supported on steel columns 250 feet high, reaching to tie ground, alongside the old building. Tic seventh additional story rests on tie girders. The largest girders are slxty-thre; feet long, eight fees, deep, and weigh forty tons each. They are nt an cle- vatioE of 250 feet above Fifteenth street. The eight girders, having a total weight of 300 tons were conveyed to the foot of East Fiftee.-.th street on one lighter. Th.*/ wero carried singly from tiere to tie job on trucks of special constructloi each drawn by tilrty-four horses. The truck wheels were of steel and had eighteen-inch treads. The girder were unloaded from tie trucks and placed upon the street by means of a large jteel stiff- leg derrick with a seventy-foot boom, Installed on '.he nlneteen'.'i floor of the new building. The girders were lifted one at a time, by this same derrick and placed in their -espective positions. The actual hoisting and placing of the girders required twelve Lours, distributed ever Aug. 1 to 3; the last girder, weighing forty tons, being lifted and placed in twelve minutes. The uplift at tie outer end*, of the derrick sills was taket by steel beams and ono and one-fourlh-incli Bteel cables, tie latter carried down five stories- and there attached to the columns at their intersection with tie floor girders. In addition, nine adjacent panels ot the building structure were diagonally braced ln both directions with steel cablet, to resist all tendency toward racking bhe building horizontally. No vibration was detected when tie girders were set in place. To Develop Zinc Mines After listening to statements hy members of tie Board of Trade and mining men of the district, in which the necessity for tie continuation by tho Dominior Goveriment ot experiments in tie treatment ot complex zinc ores and for the appointment of a royal commission to make a thorough investigation into tbe requirements of the mining Industry was urged, Hon. Louis Coderre, Secretary of State and Minister of Mines, has despatched Dr. Eugene Haanel, director of tie Federal Department of Mines, instructions to authorize E. Dldolph to proceed at once with tic work at the zinc plant in Falrvlew. Expenses of the work will be covered by .,30.000, which remains of the grant of $50,000 originally made for the purpose of experiments in methods of treating zinc ores.

COOKING A HEDGEHOG Bake It In Clay into a Solid Mass and Carve It With an Axe When a Maine Indian has the choice of a hedgehog, a s'/ur.k, a woodehrick and a muskrat for dinner he will se- lt-c: the first named Invariably and take the skunk as second choice, .eav- lng the woodc'nuek, whlc. is the only one of the lot a Maine white man will taste, to the last. Unlike the skunk and tht woodebuck, which are lean ■ t for a few months In the fall, or the muskrat, which Ib ne-er fa* and wh'' has a strong flavor in spite oi rarboiling, tie hedgehog Is alwayj ln edible condition and has meat that Is as tender and white as that of a Bpring chicken. The method cf cooking a hedgehog Is so simple that a novice can learn In one short lesson. When the cpici ls permitted to mak< a tmoice he should shun the large old males, which at times weigh thirty or forty po'inds. The preparation consists ln removing the ,'isceta, washing out the interior and filling tie cavity with slices of f* 1 pork, peeled raw potatoes, sprigs ot sptarmint and wild celery from tie rook. Then, without removing tha quills or skinning, the body ls plastered thickly with wet clay from the nearest bank. Tbt* muddy, bulky mass is thrust into live coals and covered witj blazing fagots to be roaster" for two hours. On removal from tie coals, the clay Is found to have been baked Into a hard solid mass, which must be broken open with an ax or a beavy stone, whereupon the skin and quills of the animal cling to the ..lay wrapping and fall away, leaviny the clean white meat ready to be eaten. A Statesman At a meeting of a woman suffrage organization in Kansas City. Kan., it was suggested that tbe members talk to their servants and other women workers with a viev to forming an estimate as to tie strength of suffrage sentiment ln that particular locality. One member, wbo bas employed the same washe-woman for the last six years, reported that she put the question to this worthy lady. Aro you ln favor of votej for women? the suffrage womat asked. I don't pay attention to politics, the washerwoman replied, I leave all that to my husband Well, bow does your husband stand on woman suffrage' He don't utand at all.

Oily Liniments Containing Harmful Acids and Amonla Many people have clung to the old- fashioned idea that a thick, greasy liniment is the best kind. DoctorB say not—and they know. Recently a number of theso white, oily liniments ero analyzed and they were found to contain an enormously high percentage of harmful acids, and such iriitat.uo chemicals as amonla, etc. For the moment they may cause a warm sensation when firs; applied, bnt their continued use never cures rheumatism, and only deteriorates the skin, sets up inflanv atlon, and causes endless trouble. When the doctor warns you to quit using a white, oily liniment—do so. He knows that a thick liniment can't penetrate, can't sink through the pores and reach the seat ot the pain. When asked his opinion a few days ago, an important physician stated that he considered a strong, penetrating pain-subduing liniment, such as "iVervillne," to be superior to any of the white ammor.Ii. liniment.. In his twenty-five years *-f practice he had witnessed cases of rheumatism, sciatica, and lumbago that simply would not respond to ordinary treatment— but Nerviline cured them. The Bame physician ulso spoke of tho great advantages of keeping a prep.- atlon like Nerviline in the house, because of cramps, diarrl.oea, stomach disorders, earache, toothache, headache, and such minor ailments. Nerviline Is a first-class euro. There is scarcely an ache or a pain, internal or external, that Nerviline won't cure. In thousands of homes no other paln-rc- Ileylng medicine is used. Fifty years' continued success nd the endorsement of the profession are proof thnt Nervilinr is tho liuimint for the home. A FAMOUS WOMAN DETECTIVE Mrs. Goodwin ef the New York Police a Real Sherlock Holme: In the Woman's Homo Companion appears the following account of Mrs. Isabella Goodwin, tbe famous detective ln New Tork city ln connection wltb the police department: Here ls a real Sb flock Holmes who has been instrumental In the capture of hundreds ot lawbreakers without smoking a single pipeful o. tobacco. She ia Mrs. Isabella Goodwin, police matron, recently promoted to detecUve of the first gradV on the New York city force wltb a salary of 12,250 a year ln recognition of her services ln procuring the capture ot tbe taxlcab bandits, whose reckless exploit! bad startled tbe city. Mrs. Godwin la a widow, forty-serin years old, tbe mother of three children, and her home life Is u peacefully busy as tbat ot any village housekeeper. Since tho death ot ber hushani, a roundsman on the police force, fifteen years ago, until ber recent .iromotion Mrs. Goodwin served as a police matron incidentally exercising her gifts aa a detective ln quietly gathering ovidennr against hundreds ot dangerous frauds and quacks. Her elder son Is a detective of tbe flrst grade, her sister is a department store detective, and her daughter also has already manifested ability ln detective work. When tbe taxlcab bandits after robbing .wo bank messengers of $25,000, had seemingly baffled the police Mrs. Goodwin w_s enlisted ln the caso. By impersonating the sister* oi the landlady ot a boarding houso frequented by friends ot the robbers she was enabled gradually to pick up information that was invaluable to the authorities in running down the criminals. It was this case that won her promotion and official standing as a detective, y through her fifteen years of service she had already done an enormor..., amount ot even more valuable though less sensational work in obtaining evidence against over 500 dang.rous swindlers —astrologers, palmists, fortune tellers and crystal gazers, psychics, trance mediums, Hindu magicians, quack doctors and surgeons and others that In the largo cities prey upon foolish people, almost unmolested because of the difficulty of proving that they actually violate the law.

John Flayter, grandfathe.- of John h. and Albert Flayter of North River dale, lived at tbe time of tbe American occupation ot York, on the east bank of the River Don. After the evacuation of Yjrk by tlie British troops thj American commander learned that John Flayter had the custody of some valuable documents and a largo quantity of silver money. Plrryter buied the treasure lett ln hiB charge. An officer and some rmen were detailed by the commuidor to go to the Flayter homo and take charge of these valuables. They found Mrs. Playter engaged in preparing the supper. The men demanded to know the hiding-place of the treasures. Mrs. Flayter remained client and persistently refused to divulge -Jie spot where they wero buried. In a moment of rage tLe officer whippet, out his sword and flourished it, knocking over a tea-pot. *> He left wh-'n ht saw that the woman was unmoved When a street was cut close to the ccttnge a couple of years ago the little iucklent of the tea-pot was remembered and the road was named Ellerbeck, after the maiden name of the woman whose firmness had defeated a detail ot soldiers one hundred years before.

T-HE names chosen at the meeting of the Cumberland City- Voters' League for nomination as mayor and aldermen, respectively, are a strong aggregation and should make a most useful and effective Council. With the exception of Mr. John Brown all the men selected have served in the Council Chamber in former years, two of them being ex-mayor. The affairs of our town-thanks to the present incompetent administration-are in sad shape and the need of experienced heads is painfully apparent. Messrs. Thos. E, Bate, D. R. McDonald, W. Wesley Willard, Thos. E. Banks, N. McFadyen, Charles J. Parnham and John Brown are to be commended for their public spirit and unselfishness in permitting themselves to be nominated, and we sincerely trust the electorate will realize the city's present need and confide its destinies to these tried men, whose names stand for all that is progressive and sound in its past history. FOR MAYOR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN :— I have the honor to present myself as a candidate for Mayor at the forthcoming election. For seven years I devoted my time and energy serving your interests as an Alderman, and assure you, that should I be your choice as Mayor, I will devote my time and energy in a conscientious manner for the advancement and welfare of the Municipality. Yours Sincerely, THOMAS E BATE -«■•♦- THE season of especial goodwill and fellowship towards our neighbours is close upon us, but it is not yet too late to ask for consideration towards tne long suffering shop assistant and the hardworking delivery man. Christmas shopping is an annual event looked forward to by most of us, but we are afraid that we have often been selfish in that we have thoughtlessly delayed making our purchases until Christmas Eve. In the cities a movement is always initiated to get {'..*_• public to do their shopping as early as possible, and the idea is both businesslike and humane. It works to the advantage both of the public and the shop assistant. It ensures greater attention to one's orders and a greater probability of being able to purchase what is desired, as supplies frequently become exhausted before the demand. And above all it gives the shop assistant a chance of enjoying his or her Christmas Day. Store hours are always prolonged during Christmas week and if the shop assistants are worked to death on Christmas Eve, the day of Peace and Goodwill towards Men is apt to be spent in recuperating exhausted energies rather than in the solid enjoyment, happiness and merry times we are wont to associate with Christmas Day. Let everyone in Cumberland do their shopping early and give the shop assistants a chance. They deserve it. THE Court of Revision has now held its sessions for revising the municipal voters' list and it will perhaps be concluded that the inclusion of of one's name in the revised list confers the right to vote. Ordinarily this might be so, although not necessiarily. In the present instant, however, we are far from satisfied with some of the decisions given by the Court of Revision, which in our opinion were often unjustifiable. We can see no ambiguity in the words " continuous residence " neither is it difficult to determine what constitutes " British Citizenship." We .are persuaded that many names are included on the list that have no legal right to be there, and it is our fixed intention lo challenge each and every party attempting to exercise the franchise, of whose right to vote we have our doubts. In such cases we shall ask for the oath to be administered and, if perjury is committed, we shall in the public interest invoke the ait! of the law to its utmost extent. This is plain talk but some of the transactions at the Court of Revision were so rank that silence ceases to be a | virtue. Macfarlane Bros.

Why the Burglar laughed One of the most interesting collections of burglars' tools is that possessed by Canon Horslcy, rector of St, Peter's, Walworth, England, who years ago was chaplain at Clerken- well and Pentonville. A short time ago he took to a bazaar a big assortment of skeleton keys, jemmies, crowbars, and a photograph of Charles Peace, once a member of his congregation. The canon is an authority on burglaries, and tells a good story of a brrrglar who uneu to carry pieces of doctored liver for silencing dogs. One night ho entered a house, saw a (log's staring eyes in tho hall, and at once produced tho liver. The animal did not move and on close inspection the burglar discovered lhat the dog was stuffed. Hero is a joke! he thought and laughod so uproariously tbat the members of tho household awoke and he was caught.

Education Education is ultimately tesled by its power to develop efficiency, knowledge, wisdom and enthusiasm. It is Important to distingulth between miscellaneous information and well organised knowledge. Not how much but what kind of knowledge does a man possess is the vital point. Facts and experience aro valu hie only when they aro properly related and raised into general principles. Education today must deal with actual life, must give the student insight into natin*'*, man and society. Studios must be kept In fruitful relation to the world of experience. Knowledge is not power until it Is put to solving problems. Solving these is tho true test of efflciency Waa Ordered by Hla Doctor, But Complete Cure Waa Effected by Dr, Chase's Kldney-Llver Pllla. Almost anyone who ban suffered from appendicitis will assure yon that this trouble developed only after months or years of derangementa of the liver and bowels. Appendicitis can almost Invariably be prevented, and very frequently cured, by tbe uso of Dr. Chase's Kldney-Llver Pills. In the case described ln this letter the doctors had or dered an operation, but a thorough cure was brought about by this great medicine. Mrs. J. A. Ballantynt. Sturgeon Falls, Ont, writes: "My husband was treated for appendicitis, and the doctors ordered an operation. But he would not consent to an operation and began tiro uso of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills.

When the circle was reformed we •aw two other lions tn It, but dared not lire lest we should aboot some ot the people. The beasts burst through the line, and as It was evident tbo men eould not face their foes we turned tack toward the village. i In going round the end of tbe hilt I saw n Hon sitting on a piece of rock, ■bout thirty yards off, wltb n little tnsb In front of him.

At that moment tbe bullets tbe beast tad received took effect, and he fell town dead. Tbe whole was tbe work •f a few moments and must bave teen his paroxysm of dying rage.

Palpltatlou ls rarely If ever due to any disease .or weakness of the heart. lt Is almost Invariably the result uf nervous or digestive trouble. The bent cf the heart arises within Itself. There are nerves In tbo muscles of the heart, and they regulate Its beating, although the speed or rate of tho boating Is not of their choosing. If tbey wore nut held ln cheek they would set a rate about double tbat which Is actually maintained. Tbe heart Is aupplled from the brain with two palra of regulating nerves. One pair, the cardlo motor nerves, net only to spur up the heart to quicker action. They nre usually Inactive, waiting tho occasion for applying tbo apur. Tbe other pair, the cnrdlo Inhibitory nerves, aro always In action. It bna been said that the heart runs In a pair of tightly held reins, und tho almllo la true, for these nerves check the speed. Fear, worry, disorder of the stomach or nervous system causes these canllo Inhibitory nerves to relax; then the *ie.irt begins to race. There Is nol It* Ing tbe matter with the heart itself, and no one need be alnrnrcrl about that organ Just because It bents too rapidly. Ita palpltatlou la due to a psychological or a physical cause, something that haa caused the relaxation of tho reins and allowed tbo cardlo motor nerves to apply the spur.—New York World.

Mrs. Campbell lias been in this country tor thirty-three years. She is a widow, who lias been blind for nearly ball a century. Witli increasing age slight deafness hns coma upon ber, but her mind is still clear as to the manner of man ber uncle was. "A tall man and strong." she said when questioned regarding him. "Last time I saw bim bis face waa clear and bright as a young man's should be. He fought the French for twenty-four years. Aye, twenty- four years," she mused. "Was 'pressed' when he was nineteen, taken prisoner at bis first tight, and hold in France for a year; but be made them pay for that—he made them pay for that. "A great and a brave man be was. Gentlemen came from all o'er tho country to speak tae him of Nelson an' the fights wi' the French." She was losing the preciscness of speech which marked tier first words. "I couldna tell ye all tbat was said fol f*4 mrs. job* cAiirsm, tome ot the men only spoke Englitn, an' t'was kin' o' hard on me thot* days, wts English, for I first learned the Gaelic—an' I haa it yet," ahs said proudly.

For so my L-.--.le told m« an' others beside. "Some brave thing my uncle 'lid about the tin i of the battle of Trafalgar—I diuna ken just what t'was now, for he was not the man to talk o'er much of what things he had done —led the captain of the chip to say, 'McMurcliy, yo can hae whatever yon like; name it, an' it will lie given tae ye,' " she smiled. "An* what do you suppose he asked for? Why. notlii'C more or less than tlrst half of hit pension should be paid to bis wife after his death.
