"Now don‘t you boys go off to the police!" the old man called sharply, "You‘ll have you! watch back inside twentyâ€"four hours." ‘Then he added, "If you win this ‘ere constituency, we‘ll give you, as our new MP., a really fine gold watch!" > it?" he asked. Then he put his hand in his waustcoat pocket, meaning to check the . time, Since this was fifty years‘ago, end the street was in the theo notorious London quarter of Hoxton, the candidate, Dr. Christopher Addison, was pretty certain that his watch had ‘zot been lost, but stolen. He was startled to notice that an old man at a catsmeat stall, a yard or so away, was staring at him intently, The following day, the catsâ€" meat man, having made the round of the many thieves and pickpockets in the neighbourâ€" hood, returned with the stolen watch. He faithfully kept his other pledge. As the Liberals celebrated their capture of the seat, he presented Dr. Addison with a handsome gold watch. He entered politics after winâ€" ning distinction as professor of anatomy. The 1914â€"18 war brought, for the first time, an immense influx of women into the factories and many people expressed alarm at the â€"danger of allowing young the Liberal candidate, a short, slender fim in his late thirtics, with hair already greying, turnâ€"= ed to his agent. "My next meet= ing is rather early toâ€"night, isn‘t watch has gone!" Christopher _ Addison, _ who eventuallyâ€" joined the Labour Party, rose the hard way to the .eadership of the House of Lords.

Then, at last, one West Country factory was named as a particularly The Queen talke® freely about the King‘s operation, saying that the first anxious days were over, but she "touched wood" on the table when expressing her hope that progress would continue. Particular poignancy is given to this scene by the fact that neither the King nor Addisoh, also a sick man, had then very much longer to live. An urgent but tactful investiâ€" gation was made. It established that, of the large number of women employed there, a total 0f two were expectant mothers Both of them were married. As rightâ€"hand man and evenâ€" tual successor to Lloyd George, the Minister of Munitions, Addiâ€" son speeded the development of the tank. The author vividly reâ€" creates the atmfosphere of anxiâ€" ous secrecy . surrounding thu‘ formidable new weapon, from which so much was hoped. To allay suspicion, it was deliberâ€" ately made the subject of fun.‘ ‘The men responsible for it were openly laughed at as cranks. The actual tank trials, howâ€" ever were extremely hushâ€"hush. At Lincoln, where a prototype was produced, and at Hatfield, where the tank arrived by rail in the early hours of a winter morning, the roads adjoining the station . were closed. Occupants of houses on the route to the trial ground were warned to keep their blinds down and not to ask questions about odd noises they might hear in the bleak darkness outside. Addison could claim the uniâ€" que experience of ordering Winston Churchill out of \a room. The book affords some intiâ€" mate and moving glimpses of the Royal Family. When the late King George was ill, the Queen (now Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother) deputized for him at a mecting of the Privy Council, At Buckinghim Palace, Addison found a message asking nim to see Her Majesty for five minutes before the qccremony. Although she had already been well coached, the Queen â€" characteristically â€" was anxious to play her part perfectly. Addiâ€" son took her carefully over the procedure. Another Privy Council meetâ€" ing, for Royal Approval of the dissolution of Parliament, was taken by the King himself. The bed, on which he was propped up, was moved from his bedâ€" room to a doorway. The Council assembled at the foot of the bed. bpréead: Britain would soon have thousands of unmarried mothers to cope with! Once, visiting Lloyd George, be found him obviously unwell, but surrounded by masses of papers. Pacing up and down and talking urgently was Winston Churchill. As a qualified doctor, Addison decided that Churchii‘, with his brimming, â€" restless energy, was hardly a suitable inâ€" fluence on the patient, who was running a temperature. He therefore asked Churchill wheâ€" ther he regarded himself as a sedative. .‘Twinkling, Churchill answered that, on the whole, he was disâ€" posed to think not â€" and cheerâ€" fully agreed to go! A banker fell in love with an actress and decided to ask her to marry him. Before doing so, however, he employed a private detective to report upon her character and antecedents. Back came the report: "The only thing known against this woman‘ is that she has been seen too often in the company of a banker of doubtful reputation." 9. Infusé life 33. Triwh [F e o o‘clock one morning she was aroused by the sound of heavy hammering. This continued for & long time and was still going on when the woman finally dropped off to sleep. When she awoke some hours later the noise had stopped. Heavyâ€"eyed through lack of sleep, she went down to breakâ€" fast and mentioned the matter to her hosts. "Your Scottish earâ€" penters start work very | early," she complained. _ HMer remarks was received in ominous silence. The faces of her hosts turned deathly pale, Then one spoke. "There have been no carpenters in Glamis for many months past," she said agitatedâ€" ’ The face was still there â€" and he ‘saw now that it was too ethereal, too indefinite to be human. A cold shiver ran down his spine. For the first time in his life he firmly believed that he was seeing a ghost. It was a sad ghost, too. Its features were strained and its eyes seemed to stare imploringâ€" ly at the man. He half rose to his feet with the vague intenâ€" tion of doing something to help, But the opportunity never came. Suddenly the pleading, pathetic, face disappeared. The White Lady is one of many spectres reputed to haunt the grim castle with its sombre battlements© and mighty walls. Glamis, set in a Forfarshire forest and famed as the mcieet home of the Queen Mother‘s family, has a Grey Lady, tou. She has been seen‘ wandering through the grounds and roamâ€" Ing the corridors of the house. But she retains her secret, hisâ€" tory has nothing to say about ker. Another guest at Glamis had an experience almost as frightâ€" ening. It was a moonlight night and he was gazing out of the window. There was another winâ€" dow oppositegand framed in this he saw what appeared to be a human face. He was not alarmâ€" ed for there were many other guests staying at Glamis. He turned away, but after a minâ€" ute or two he felt constrained to look again. There is, however, no such possible explanation of another strange happening at Glamis, It Another unsolved mystery of Glamis is the identity of the tall figure wearing a coat of mail which has appeared from time to time. This spectre was seen on one occasion by a woâ€" man who ‘was spending a few days at Glamis Castle with her little girl. She was given a bedâ€" room and her child had the adâ€" joining dressingâ€"room, For some reason the mother was unable to ‘sleep on the first night and kept a candle burning by her bed. Frantically the frightened moâ€" ther sprang from her bed and rushed into the dressingâ€"room. There was no one there but the small girl. She was unharmed, but between her sobs she told of "a giant who came and leaned over my face." was experienced by a woman visitor, a wellâ€"known society figure at the time.

It was the dressâ€" ingâ€"room that the armoured figure was obviously seeking.

The guest continued to keep a watch on the window, feeling that the face might appear again. It did not. But not long afterwards he heard horrifying, bloodâ€"chilling _ screams.. They sounded like the cries of a man suffering violent torture. When these finally subsided the puzâ€" zled guest saw the dark, hudâ€" dled figure of a decrepit old woâ€" There are many other legends connected with this chamber. It is said, for instance, that a stoneâ€" mason working on the castle roof once saw inside the room. The horrors he witnessed made him taint with shock. What is he supposed . to have seen? It has never been disclosed, but it is said that the stonemason was given a handsome sum, to still his tongue, and was packed off abroad. Perhaps the best known mysâ€" tery of Glamis Castle is that of a secret chamber which is kept permanently locked. Rumour asserts that it contains the bones of clansmen who sought shelter from their enemies at Glamis. The lord of the time admitted them, hid them in the chamber and left them to starve to death, The most popular of the ules‘ of the‘ secret chamber concerns the man who, because of his reckless mode of living, was callâ€" ‘ed "The Wild Earl of Strathâ€" more."

Now Professor Hurzâ€" eler, curator of the Basle Natural History Museum, who has. exâ€" amined the skeleton sixty feet down with the aid of a miner‘s lamp, is emphatic: the skeleton has all the human characteristics. Only the head is missing. _ The body, about four and a half feet long, is lying in a sort of breastâ€"stroke position. The miners lost little time cutting a nearâ€"by‘ block of coal to see if they would find the head. In a few days the skeleton will be transferred to the Basle muâ€" seum and studied in minute deâ€" tail. According to the theory of Professor Hurzeler, beings simiâ€" lar to man and different from apes were living at least ten milâ€" lion years ago.

Foreâ€" most was its use as an insulator, piling up against the house and making the floors warm again The coldest weather was always between freezeâ€"up and snow, when the foundations were exâ€" posed. You could even put sawâ€" dust or boughs around, but the wind would work in. There was a change in the feel of the ground. The frozen doorâ€" yard was muffled, and your feet didn‘t clunk down so hard. This was much better. Then would come the first snow and the floors would be congenial, and Aunt Midge would say, "Good, my feet are warm again!" Pa or the hired man would circle the house, tossing loose snow against the building. It made all the difference. There came, with snow, a difâ€" ference in the feel of the outâ€" doors, too. The temperature could be the same one day as another. but with snow on the ground it felt warmer. There was a saying that snow would take the chill out of the air, and somehow it did change our perceptions of it. You. could pull on your longâ€" legged ones, and dig out the mitâ€" tens, and tie your hat on with a scarf, but there would be a deep chill until it snowed.

Howâ€" ever, there has developed & I guess the thing was that we didn‘t fight snow so much. We used to clean off the doorsteps and fix a place so the barn door would swing, and trip around the mailbox, but we didn‘t shovel paths so much. We were told the frost would work into the ground .if we cleaned the driveway, and frost all winter meant deep mud all spring. We hated mud more than snow. Understand me, I have no joyâ€" ous illusicns about sleighing. It was a cold, cruel means of locoâ€" motion, dreary and numbing. There is much to be said for the heated automobile, snow treads in place and a clear roadway. Of all the winter thrills that sentiâ€" mentalists extol, sleighing is the one I‘ll fight them about. ‘ There was one thing, however, that was worse. That was the last trip to town before snow, when the road was a welter of frozen logging ruts, and your buggy wheels bounced around on them until your teeth all came loose in your head and your ears flopped up and down. Part of the punishment came because the horse kept ranging around to find some place he could step withâ€" out jarring his shoulders loose, and he couldn‘t. I never liked sleighing except that the road was always smoothâ€" er. So we were glad to see the snow. After a trip like that, snow would fall and the ruts would all get filled in smooth,; and the runners would pack things down. You could glide all the way to town without a twitch.
