THE SCOTCH PIPES,

Morning upon morning for weeks, the very earliest sound upon the veldt was the opening groan ofa pagpipe beginning, the reveille of one of the!

Do you know that first note of the pipe when the is beginning to rush out of the bag and through the ‘chanter’ even before the bag is filled, and when the piper is adjusting the bag to his body and and his fingers to the stops?

It isa weird, long-drawn, shapeless note, a nasal groan, a chord of agony wrung from the nose of barbaric har- mony. It always preceeds a tune as the piper tries himself and his instru- ment before launching into his flight of melody. Every morning it was that protesting note of the pipes next door which roused the Wessex Fusiliers and me. It was likethe snoring of the Scotch elder during church service, of which the whole congregation com plained because ‘it wakened us all.’ And yet it was different, for, once the pipes began, they never had a rest the live-long day and part of the night. As far into the night as nine o’clock and later, long after we ofthe Fusiliers were put to bed by General Orders, the pipes still wheezed and groaned, or—as a Scotchman would say— frolicked with or wept out their gay or their plaintive airs,

The pipes put me through several moods and changes of mind in those long weeks of waiting.

At first, the abundance of their queer music—of which © had but little up till then—came asanovelty. Next, they roused my curiosity as to how a piper could have either the will or the Strength to play for sixteen hours on end without a longer pause than the minute it required to change from one tune to another. And, next, the un- ceasing noise annoyed until it madden- ed me, and I cursed the pipes as an in- strument of torture. ‘The piper walk- ed to and fro, the length of the regi- | ment’s lines, and ata distance the air was full of a ‘zizz-ziaz-zizz, like the note of a demon bee, while the nearer it came the more its nasal chords mas- tered the neighborhood and quivered in my very bones.

At the last (I cannet tell why or how | itcame about) I grew to like the sound. and to miss the melody when) the piper was afar and only the} buzzing came to my-ears. When he. was near he played upon my body and my senses. My pen raced with the| purple music of the reels, | my blood warmed under the defiant, challenging, scarlet chords of the battle songs; a pleasant sadness possessed me when the tunes were plaintive and grey.

Without a drop of Scotch blood in me, I yet began to lowe the Scotch, and to take interest in all that I could see and learn of them. With nothing to connect me with their land—except that my father attended a course of medical lectures in Edinburgh—I yet could feel the pipes move me and my heart go out toward their players-

In time I used to leave my camp and cross the narrow lane to the can- vas village of the Flighlanders in order to watch a piper ut his work.

And lo! I discovered that instead of one man being tlk sole piper’ a score of men shared his work. These stood ig line silently listening and watching as the musician of the mo- ment strode jauntily up and down, giving tohis hips that swaggering, boastful, swaying movement which your true master of the bag aud reeds never fails to practice. They looked at him for hours, now hungrily, now cloatingly, as he stepped to and fro, just touching his toes to the veldt like a man practicing to walk on eggs— like one whose body is lifted like his soul by the music he creates. For hours, I say, but in every hour at least two different men were the play- ers. Those who watched were wait- ing their turns, and ever and anon the moment halted, the flying ribbons fell behind the ‘drones,’ and the pipe was passed to one of the men in the patient line.

Then off strode the fresh player with the streamers floating from his»pipes, with his hips swaying, his head held high, and his toes but touching the

me the pipes, Sandy;1 can teil ye what naebody has said’—at least, those were the strange words I thought that I distinguished.

What I was certain of was that I had discovered why i! seemed that the regimental piper played steadily for six- teen hours a day.

I learned that there are other things about the Scotch which mark them apart from the English. For instance, their regimental discipline has not yet transformed the Scotch *T. Atkins’ to an automaton. He thinks undisciplin- ed thoughts and then speaks them aloud, for one thing. Strong traces of a feudal relationship between the offi-

cersand men lead then to speak to each other with some freedom—and even to converse, And onSt. An-

drew’s Day, I am told, the men go the round of their officers’ tents, visiting, to remind them of the hallowed day, and to be asked to drink in honor of it.

I even heard of the men of one Highland regiment calling vpun an officer whom they detested, rather than mar the custom or lose a drink. ‘Good evening to you, Captain MacTavish,’ said the spokesman of one convivial band; ‘we maun tell ye that none o’ us like ye—in fact, ye’re detested by near- ly every one, fer ye’re unco’ hard—and ye’re a dour man—but we'll take a wee bit drmk wi? you—on account o’ the day.’

But all this is digression. dealing with the pipes.

I fell to studying the Scotsmen and their music after a battle in which the Highianders had met with a great cal- amity. For weeks they were low-spirit- ec and unsocial, even with one an- other. Such is their temperament—a brave and gay one, but with a_ sub- stratum of melancholy which will, at times, come uppermost.

‘J should not like te crack a joke at our mess,’ said to me at this time an officer of theirs who was not wholly Scotch. ‘It would sound profane, and my fellow-officers would surely think me mad or idiotic. I suggested cham- pagne the other night at dinner, and I'll not de that again until we get back our spirits. The men are in the same mood as the officers. It is the pipes that make themso. The pipes are keeping them a great deal resentful, and still more melancholy.’

‘The pipes?’ I echoed, enquiringly. “What nave the pipes to do with their feelings ?’

WHAT THE PIPES ARE SAYING,

‘Eh, man? Don’t you know that the pipes can talk as good Scotchas any man who hears them ? Surely ‘tis so— and ’tis what the pipes are saying, first in one player's hands and then in another’s, that keeps the men from, forgetting their part in the last battle.

Once. as. the days passed, when I saw this officer again at leisure, I wert to him for an explanation of his surprising disclosure. [had been try- ing to learn the language of the pipes in the meantime, but I acquired no more understanding thana dog has of English when he distinguishes between a_ kindly human tone and a cross one. I could tell when a tune

mournful. When a gay one rang out— if any had—I would not have mistaken it for a dirge, To some this may seem a very little learning, but [ had begun by thinking all the tunes alike. ‘Yesterday,’ said my friend the of. ficer, ‘we'd a little match between men who had some skill at embroidering

those, but I called my _ soldier- servant up and asked him what was ' being played. “Well, sir,” said he,

of those grace-notes that they call “warblers,” but this ccntest was broken up by a rugged son of the

hills who, after asking for the pipes, flung frem them a few strong, clear notes which gained the attention ofall who are born to a knowledge of the music that speaks. I am not one of

“that’s McCallun—a greac museecian heis. And hark, sir; he has the right of it and boldly he is telling every one his thoughts. He says that every man kens that the yon’ general who’s dead was as cunning and skilfw, in war as ony man above him, and ‘tis late in the day—now that he’s laid away and dumb—to put blame on him as if he were an ignoramus and a butcher, like some others. And now, Oh! brawly ye’re tellin’ it, MacCallum —he says there may be scheming and plotting in high places, but no skulldruggery o’ any sort, however it is gilded, will ever deceive ane single true chiel o’ the Highlands.” ’

‘And then,’ said my gossip, ‘the pipes passed to the hand of another man, and my servant—seeing me about to move away—touched my arm and

ed that Hector Macdonald is coming to betheir new brigadier, and the pipes are assuring them that every Highland- er may be himself again, certain of victory and new glory under a leader second only to the one they have lost.’ I still believe my conjecture was right.

And I know from living next door, as it were, that the cloud of gloom that had hung over the brigade was dispelled almost with the suddenness of its horrible ap pearance.

After that ‘the kilties’ began to make in this war a continuation of their glorious record in so many lesser Wars in the ti.ae that was.

Stewart. He’s saying, sir, thai the reason none will heed those who blame our grand leader that’s gone is that there’s men of rank among us— and of proud blood--that’!l stand up to any man at home and swear that when our fallen chief came back ‘with his orders for the battle he complained of them sorely, but he said, “No better could he get,’ and when he lay down in his blanket his head _ was full of trouble that was coming on him -—he not being able to learn what he needed to know against the morrow.”’

There was more of this recital of what the pipes had spoken to the regiment, but it would only be irritat- img asore to repeat it. The pipes spoke even more plainly as the beld out-pourings ef one incited bolder from another. At last there were sug- gestions, by pipes grown mutinous, of sentiments which, happily, have seldom been spread within the British army. But what I have told suffices tto il- lustrate my sole point, which is that the gift of eloquent speech in chords and trills. is born with the master-

pipers. THE NEW CHIEF'S WELCOME.

I never saw my officer-friend again for more than a nod or a word in pass- ing. But on one day the pipes next door rang jubilantly, and man after man applied himself to them with gin- ger in his touch. Each blew triumphant thrilling, heart-stirring chords, and every piper swaggered at his work with such a will as to send his aproned, kiltto and tro with what seemed a -double swing to each beat of the
