De Lapp started, and stared again
at our neighbor. "Mon Dieu! what a

you very well indeed. Mr. Let me
have a whisper in your ear." He took
him aside, and talked very earnestiy
with him in French for a quarter of
an hour, gesticulating with his hand,
and explaining something, while the
major nodded his old grizzled head
from time to time. At last they
seemed to come to some agreement,
and I heard the major say "parole
d’honneur" several times, and after-
wards “fortune de la guerre.” But
after that I always noticed that the
major never used the same free fash-
ion of speech that we did toward our
lodger, but bowed when he addressed
him, and treated him with a wonder-
ful deal of respect.
Jim Horscroft was at home all that
summer, but late in the autumn he
went back to Edinburgh again for the
winter session, and as he intended to
work very hard, and get his degree
next spring if he could, he said that
he would bide up there for the Christ-
mas. So there was a great leave-tak-
ing between him and Cousin Edie, and
he was to put up his plate and to
marry her as soon as he had the right
to practice. I never knew a man love
a woman more fondly than he did her,
and sho liked him well enough in a
way, for indeed in the whole of Scot-
land she would not find a finer-looking
man; but when it came to marriage I
think she winced a little at the
thought that all her wonderful dreams
should end in nothing more than in
being the wife of a country surgeon.
I was never very sure at that time
whether Edie cared for De Lapp or
not. When Jim was at home they
took little notice of each other. Aft-
er he was gone they were thrown more
together, which was natural enough,
as he had taken up so much of her
time before.
Well, the summer and the autumn
and the best part of the winter passed
away, and we were still all very happy
together. We got well into the yen
1815, and the great emperor was still
eating his heart out at Elba, and all
the ambassadors were wrangling to-
gether at Vienna as to what they
should do with the lion’s skin, now
that they had so fairly hunted him
down. We never thought that what
all these high and mighty people were
doing could have any bearing upon us,
and as to war—why, everybody was

“Then I am the most old of the
three," said De Lapp.
We laughed at this. for by our
reckoning he might almost have been
our father.
"But not by so much,” said he, arch-
ing his brows. “I was nine-and-twen-
them three at a time, as if they were
little monkeys. It was a pity. Ah,
my friend, you will do me the honors

had come Into the kitchen. He had
not seen them the night before; but
now it was all I could do to keep my

But my mother shook her head when
hind these sand-hills, then back with
the launches for more, and a stream of
grape over their heads from the frig-
ate. It could be done! It could
be done!" His mustaches bristled out
more like a cat’s than ever, and I
could see by the flash of his eyes that
he was carried away by his dream.
"You forget that our soldiers would
be upon the beach," said I indignantly.
"Ta, ta, ta!" he cried. "Of course,
it takes two sides to make a battle.

how imbecile they would be. Not
they alone, I mean, but all young

young friend, just the same as the

"Pooh!" said I, not to be outcrowed
by a foreigner. “If we had thirty
thousand men on the line of the hill
yonder you would come to be very glad
that you had your boats behind you."
Sometimes, when he talked, I
thought he was joking, and at other
times it was not quite so easy to say.
I well remember one evening that
summer when he was sitting in the
kitchen with my father, Jim, and me.
after the women had gone to bed, he
began about Scotland and its relation
to England.
"You need to have your own king,
and your own laws made at Edin-
burgh," said he; "does it not fill you
with rage and despair when you think
that it all comes to you from London
now 7’
Jim took his pipe out of his mouth.
"It was we who put our king over
the English, so if there’s any rage
it should have been over yonder,"
Mid he.
This was clearly news to the
stranger, and it silenced him for the
moment
“Well, but your laws are made
down there, and surely that is not
good," he Mid at last
"No; it would be well to have a
parliament back in Edinburgh,” Mid
my father; "but I am kept so busy
with the sheep that I have little
enough time to think of such things."
"It is for fine young men like you
two to think of it," said De Lapp.
"When a country is injured it is to its
young men that it looks to avenge it”
"Aye, the English take too much
upon themselves sometimes,” Mid Jim.
"Well, if there are many of that
way of thinking about, why should
we not form them into battalions and
march them upon Londonr" cried De
Lapp.
"That would be a rare little picnic,"
Mid T, laughlug; "and who would
lead us?"
He hesitated for a moment ana
then he shook his head.
"I have soma letters," he Mid
