The Ghost That Lanced at Jeddart. fe 203% HERE were gay and fes- tive doings in abbey- © crowned Jedburgh one fine day in the year of grace OY 1285—doings the like of which the old-world village had never seen before, nor equalled since. All was stir and bustle, the clachan was full of: men-at-arms and vassals, followers of the great and powerful barons who, in their turn followed their liege lord the King; and he for some days before- hand had taken up his quarters with- in the precincts of the stately abbey. Hither for days beforehand, too, had been flocking all the vagrants, as w ell, S014 as the nobles of the land. Pipers, fiddlers, glee - maidens and harpers jostled, elbow with elbow, haughty knights, portly monks and high-born' dames—each and all eager to take their places in the pageant, or share the spectacle arising out of good King ‘Alexander's wedding. Itor therein lay the reason of all the bustle and un- usual display in this old Border cla- chan—XKing Alexander was that day espousing the Lady Ioleat de Coney, daughter of the noble Count of Dreux, and all were eager to witness the cere- mony, if not to share in the banquet to be held that night in honor of the occasion, This Alexander was he who had been surnamed “Tamer of the Ravens,” and was at that time a man in the prime of life—a man wise in the judg- ment hall, fierce on the battlefield, gentle in lady’s bower, and enthroned in the hearts of his people—take him, all in all, a king the like of whom Scotland was destined to see but once again. So, it was no wonder the peo- ple crowded to share in the mirth and jollity of the occasion, to wish him long life, and hope the gentle queen on his arm wonld long be enthron d in his heart and theirs. Meanwhile, the monks of the abbey grumbled loud and long because the king had bidden the villagers to at- tend the banquet that night and help on the dance. The lord abbot had sent to countermand the order, bidding the rustics, under pain of the displeasure of Holy Church, to bide in their own homes and refrain from indulging in the sinful pleasure of dancing. But this did not go down well with the burghers, and Will, the Cauldron Clouter, bold 2:3 a lion, walked into {he king’s presence, where courtiers bowed | at his knee and gentie ladies hung about, to complain of the abbot’s in- terference with their pleasure. “By ma sang!” cried the good king rising from his throne in displeasure, ~-+ and striding through the abbey hall with the Stride of a warrior on the battlefield, “this mauna be. Every one has my leave to enjoy humsel, Tor no’ every day a ki 3 ‘tak’ your pleasure w guid 1 a s 0 sayin’. | almost fo in dancing and ye did wrong to Sp say me in this. Hearken now,” he continued, “to what I here ordain. Lei all the waukers, and wabsters and sou. tars, and merchants, and millers and cedgers frae the kintra round that are so minded set to at oice and dance a recl te celebrate our waddin’. And every landward lassie that so likes can come the nicht—the bonnie lassie fresh frae pu’in’ lint ‘ll be as well received by us as ony haughty baron’s dochtar. And tak’- tent that nae monk inter- feres.” J “Naught good can come of displeas: ing Holy Church,” said the abbot, turning away with a long lip; and the courtiers were reminded of his words later on that night. So the town-crier proclamation through the the whole of the populace, from the town-foot to the abbey, were soon gone dancing mad—all dancing to the well- being of the king. The scene at the marriage feast that night was something the burghers did belied the king's town, and not forget in a hurry. The tables stretched from one end of the hall straight out into the caller air, and zroaned beneath the generous fare pro- vided from the private stores of loya burgesses—bannocks and cheese, hag gis and tripe, apples and pears, fish and flesh, and every other dainty usu- ally provided for a royal marriage, with drink to match. Then When they they had feasted to their heart's con- tent, like a hailstorm through i) for- est, the dance began; and lords and ladies, with laughing eyes vowed, tired or not, to keep it going till morning. The fiddles went, and harpers played, while guitars twanged accompaniment to song from throats of bonnie lassies. All took part in the entertainment, and even bow-legged Tam the Tin- man, who could neither dance nor play nor sing, contributed to the din, if not the music, by shouting at the pitch of his leathern lungs, “Ilo Jed- dart’s here!” the burg rallying cry. When, lo! a change came oer the scene, and. dancers broke off, awe- stricken, musicians ceased their play- ing, and singing girls became dumb. A spell hung o'er them all, but still the patter of a pair of brogues could De heard carrying on the Dbroken-off dance, though no one could be seen, while the wail of an invisible bagpipe playing the accompaniment was plain. ly audible. The lad with the lang bas- soon fainted, the kettle-drummers and fifers followed suit, while the harpers glowered auaking with terror through the strings of their silent instruments, and shut their eyes—on such a sight that now appeared. It was no human being, yet there it was, dancing through the hall, eutting such capers and performing such an- ties that it nearly tumbled over the Provost, worthy man, who stood in its way. Then it jinked in the king's di rection, and even jostled him with its elbow s, to the no small dismay of the of both sexes,. who fled sereaming to the other end of the hall. It had a plume of feathers on its head, as if it had been a varon, while its attenuated form was attired in a kilt all embroidered. with goid bro- cade, with a dainty doubjet adorned with silver lacing to match. 3ut yet, as I have said; it was:only a thing of bones—an atomy, a skeleton, a sight alike grotesque and Iudicrous—a ghost in kilts! It lightly irad an niry minuet, cracking its fies! and pre- tending to link with unseen partners Aown. fhe floor. It danced that night as surely never before had country dance been danced, grinning and beav- ing at the same time to the Queen and her ladies on the dais, who were speechless with terror; and then, si- lent as it had come, it flitted from the palace, and the spell was broken. Then by degrees came courage back to -the t hearts of those assembled there. Such is the legend of the ghost that danced at- Jeddart, ‘a legend that is historically true.—Glasgow . Herald, Affinity of Meteori A total of 634 meteorites was known up to 1993, of which there were 182 irons and only seventy-feur stones in the Western hemisphere, and: 299 stones and only seventy-nine irons in the Eastern hemisphere. The records show only the fall of 350 of these me- teorites, dating back to the fifteenth century. Professer Berwerth, of Vi- enna, despite this small number of known specimens, calculates that 990 meteorites must fall to the earth ech -ear, not counting shooting stars that disappear in the atmosphere, and that fifty-five of these at least should come under observation. Professor DBer- werth finds that meteorites have been chiefly recorded in civiiized countries, but that in Any "instances they are mere numercus in thinly settled dis- and that they have an especial for mountainous areas.—Phila- Record. tes For Mountains.

It is all as plain as a b ¢ when once you get your bearings. The streets all run east and west or north and south, with rarely a confusing diagonal. All trains into St. Louis arrive at Union Station, one of the finest rail road terminals in the world.

The. hotels have greatly multiplied in number and thousands of private homes are open for the accommoda- tion of guests. The rates at the hotels are generally on the European plan as it will be more convenient for guests to get (heir meals wherever meal-time may find them. Prices for rooms in private houses range from 50 cents to $2.50 per day per person. The prevailing rate is $1.00 per person and in nearly every case good acconi- modations with all conveniences and in good localities may be had for this price. The higher rate presupposes larger rooms and more luxurious quar- ters. But no one need pay more than £1 00. The hotel prices have a wide range, Competition will be brisk.

Fathers Devilla, of Walston, and Win- ker, of Brookville, were with the con- demned man until a late hour the night before, and again in the morn- ing, the former accompanying him to the scaffold. Aiello was convicted of the killing of Frank Carfo at Punxsu- tawney last summer. He was to have been executed on January 23, but se= cured two respites, and a strong effort was made to save his life. Godfrey C.

All the Greenville druggists, except C. D. Alendorfer were accused be- fore the Grand Jury with selling liquor unlawfully.

The club house of the William Penn club was also broken into, but no articles were taken. Samuel Brany, an employe of the Bessemer coke works at Masontown, died from burns in the hospital at Uniontown.
