The nameless dog that caused a his name is forgotten and even it it were known probably i could not spell it to ear nothing of pronouncing it. For lie gaelic and the ancient gaelic names of Ani Mals and of human.1 alike Are hard to turn in to modern English. Such As he though he started a War and he did much to change the trend of scottish history. He is known Only As favorite hound of King a scottish Monarch who reigned some time in the eighth Cen Tury. The plots and the scots could not live together in Scotland or anywhere else. Soon or late one of the two uncongenial races must be driven from the Laud. Scots represented the modern and progressive element and the pics still Clung to their ancient barbarian customs. For example the pics Are said to have tattooed their bodies by Way of ornament and to have worn few clothes above these Tattoo designs. Wherefore their enemies after kill Iii some richly tattooed plot in Bat the would skin the victim and have his brightly coloured hide made into a garment. Says the old Saga a painted coat King Vortigern had on which from a naked pict Bis grands re you Gnu understand that Semi like the pics had few mod Ern ideas As to honesty or indeed about anything which goes toward National Honor or development. They took what they could win by Force or what they Rould steal. A great Deer Hunt was planned by King crash lint and w As attended by hundreds of pics As Well As by the scottish followers of the King. It was a Hunt i which the prowess of the by Albert Payson Terhune f j2l there a Gre it Deer Hunt. Pict dog was to be matched against the pics begged their scottish hosts that of the scottish Breeds. To give them some of these magnify the scottish hounds proved them cent dogs in order that they might selves so much better in scent Power cultivate that Breed in future and in coursing and in courage thut courteously King cent hint consented and he ordered his master of the Leash chief Huntsman to give the guests a dozen or More of the Best dogs in his pack. The Palcu were not Content. The favorite hound of King crate lint was so much better in every Way than was any other dog they had Ever seen or heard of that they asked the King to include this canine chum of his in the Gilt. Crash lint refused. Lie loved the great dog and he would not part with him. So the pict started Back borne with such dogs As the King had consented to let then have from his Royal puck. When they had left the court it was discovered that they had also by oleic the Monarch s hound. Word of the loss was carried far and near. If the Hunt had been Good will Ges Ture to bring the two races closer to Gether this theft instantly undid any such effect. The scots were furious at the Dis Graceful behaviour of their recent guests and at their Sovereign s loss of his loved hound. I am going to copy verbatim from Holm shed s history of written to 1586. To describe the a Loup that followed the master o the Leash being in formed thereof pursued after them that had stolen ratin thinking in deed to take him from them but these pics were not willing to part with him. Pell an altercation. At the end of it they chanced to strike the master of the Leash through with their horse Spears so that he died presently. Whereupon noise and cry being raised by the servants divers of the scots As they were returning time from the Hunting came Back. Falling upon the plots to revenge the death of their score gentlemen be Sloet. Of the commons not understanding until what the matter Mew the plots there Hundred slain.

Be prepared for Dusty work. Hurrying out to the elevator. Of to the tenth floor. Thrilled anticipation. Going through old the lure of the unknown. The maid ushered her into the room. Mrs. Reed kneeling before an open trunk. Two others still bound with rope. The air heavy with camphor and the must less of things Long packed away.

Tis Good to walk a country Lane with one Good Friend along and git you Down where or you will to hear a wild Bird s song and name the Trees which shelter you if you should choose to sit and watch the White Drifting by and dream a Little bit. The dust along a country Lane is Good to kick about. There is no tide of traffic there hut Only gardeners out and Only patient Farmers wives All Busy with their Chorea who no doubt wonder As you pass what brings Yon by their doors. Sometimes the children look at you in such a curious Way they sue you staring at a tree they live with every Day. And no doubt wonder what you find so wonderful to they d rather look at build Ings tall than any Maple tree. How True it is that those who dwell along the country Lane think buildings tall Are wonderful and Trees severely Plain and City men who Long for Hills and streams Ami open space will glorify the country Lane which seems so common place.
