CHAPTER L.

According to those who have thought the thing over, it would defy the face of clay to set*forth this prodigious affair of Tillyloss, the upshot of which was that Tammas Haggart became a humorist. It happened so far back as the Long Year, called by reason of disease in the potato crop; and doubtless the house, which still stands, derides romance to those who cavil at an outside stair. Fur- thermore, the many who only knew Hag- gart in his later years, whether personal- ly or through written matter or from Thrums folk who have traveled, will not readily admit that he may once have been an every-day man. ‘There is also

ainst me the vexing practice of the farmer of Lookaboutyou, who never passes Tillyloss, if there is a friend of mine within earshot, without saying:—

‘*Gravestane or no gravestane, Tammas Haggart would have been a humorist.”

Lookaboutyou thus implies that he’ knew Haggart for a man of parts when the rest of us were blind, and itis tantal- izing beyond ordinary to see his word accepted in this matter by people who would not pay him for a drill of potatoes without first stepping it to make sure of the length.

I have it from Tammas Haggart that until the extraordinary incident occurred which 1 propose telling as he dropped it into my mouth, he myself. True, he was occasionally per- suaded by persons of Lookaboutyou’s stainp to gloss over this admission, as incredible on the face of it, but that was in his last years, when he had become something of a show, and was ina puzzle about himself. Of the several reasons he gave me in proof of a non-humorous period in his life the following seem worthy of especial attention :—

First, that for some years after his marriage he had never thought of himself as more nicely put together than other men. He could not say for certain whether he had ever thought of himself at all, his loom taking up so much of his time.

Second, that Christy was able to aggra- vate him by saying that if which was which she would have married James Pitbladdo.

Third, that he was held of little ac- count by the neighbors, who spoke of his living ‘‘above Lunan’s’ shoppy,’’ but never Iccalized the shop as ‘‘below Hag- gart’s house.’’

Fourth, that while on his wanderings he experienced certain novel and singu- lar sensations in his inside, which were probably his humor trying to force a pas- sage.

Fifth, that in the great scene which ended his wanderings, his humer burst its banks like a dam, and had flowed in burns ever since.

During nearly forty years we contrived now and again to harness ‘lammas to his story, but often he would stop at the difticulty of realizing the man he must have been in his pre-humorous days, und remark, in his sarcastic way, that the one Haggart could not fathom the other. ended in silence, when we all trouble at the fire and then went home. As for starting him on the story when he was not in the vein, like the bree against a high wind.

When the events happened I was only alad. I cannot send my mind back to the time when I could pass Haggart without the side-glance nearly _ all Thrums offered to his reputation, and he is best pictured hunkering at Tillyloss, one of a row of his admirera. After eight o’clock it was thy pleasant custom of the weavers to sit in the open against a house or dyke, their knees near their chins and their ears ready for Haggart. Then his fuce would be contracted in pain as some strange idea bothered him and he searched

so

for its humorous aspect. Perhaps ten minutes afterwards his face would ex- pand, he would slap his knees, and we

knew that the struggle was over. It was one of his ways, disliked at the time, yet admired on reflection, not to take us into the secret of his laughter; but he usn- ally ended by locking whimsically in the direction of the burying-ground, when we were perfectly aware of the source of the joke, and those of us nudged each other who were not scared. Until the spell was broken we might sit thus for the ‘space of a quarter of an hour, none speaking, yet in the completest sympathy,

because we were all thinking of the same thing, and that a gravestone.

‘Tillyloss is three broken rows of houses in the east end of Thrums, with gardens between them, nearly every one of which used to contain a pig-sty. There are other ways of getting into the gardens than by windows, for those who are sharp at knowing a gate when it looks like some- thing e Ilse. Three or four other houses stand in odd corners, blocking the narrow road, which dodges through Tillyloss like a hunted animal. Starting from the west end of the suburb, as Tillyloss will be cailed as soon as we can say the word without smirking, the rcad climbs straight from the highway to the upper- where it runs against a two-

most row

story house. Here we leave it, as many a curious str aaee has done, to get out cof billy] ‘best way it can, for that

is an extraordinary tribute to his mem- ory that the road rim the pump to his old residence in ‘ilyloss is still called Haggart’s Roady. Many persons have in- habited his room since he left it, but though the younger ones hold out for an individuality of their own, the gray- beards still allow that it is Haggart’s house, To this day ‘Tillyloss residents asked for a Jandmark to their dwellings nay reodly,

I’m sax heuses frae Haggart’s,’’ or

“Onybody can point out Brisiee stair to you. Ay, weel, gang to that, and then come back thiee doors.’’

The entrance to Lunan’s shop was heneath Haggart’s stair, which provided a handy retiring place in wet weather. Lunan’s personality had the enormous advantage ef a start of Tammas’s, as bas veen sin, yet Hagyart has practicaily swallowed Lunan, who in his more crab- bed age scowled at the sight-seers that came to look at the second story of the house and ignored the shop. As boys we envied, more than learning, the com- panion whose father kept a shop, and I remember Lunan’s son going with his fist for the bankers son who—though he never really believed it—said that his father could have a shop if he liked, Yes the grand romance of Haggart choked the fame of Lunan even with the lads who played dump at Tillyloss, and the shop came to be localized as ‘‘beneath Haggarts stair.”” Even Lunan’s §stout- ness, which was a landinark in itself, could not save him. The passage between his counter and the wall was so narrow and the rest of his shop so full of goods that before customers could enter Lunan had to come out, but in this quandary his dignity never left him. He always declined to join the company who might be listening on the stair to Tammas’s adventures, but some say he was not above hearkening through a hole in one of the steps.

‘vhe exact date of Haggart’s departure cannot be determined, though it was certainly in the back end of the year 1884. He had then been married to Christy a little short of three years. His age would be something beyond thirty, but he never knew his birthday, and I have heard him say that one of the few things he could not understand was how

the relatives of a person deceased could know the precise age to send to the hewspapers.

What is, however, known for certain is that Tamimas’s adventures began with- in a week of the burial of old Mr. Yuill, the parish minister. ‘there had been a to-do about who should preach the fun- eral sermon, two ministers haying words over it, and all Thrums knowing that Mr. Yuill had left seven pounds to the preacher. At this time Haggart did not kelong to the Auld Lichts, nor was he even regular in his attendance at the parish church, but the dispute about the funeral sermon interested him great- ly, and when he heard that the session Was meeting to decide the affair, he agreed with Chirsty that he might do worse than hang around the door on the chance of getting early information. There au small crowd at the door on the same errand, all of whom noticed, though they little thought it would give them a tonie to their dying day, that Haggart had on his topcoat. It had been an old one of Mr. Yuill’s,. presented to Tammas, who could not fill it, but re- fused to have it altered, out of respect to the minister’s memory. It has also been fondly recalled of Tammas that he was only shaven on the one side, as if Chirsty head sent him to the meeting in a hurry, and that he had not the look of a man who was that very right to enter upon experiences which would confound the world.

“Tt was an Snecky Hobart Tammas discussing the mon, just as keen as me and T and then to think that within four hours the very ministers the: would be discussing him.”’

‘*‘He said to me it had been a dovwie day,’’ T’nowhead always remembered.

‘*tie shoved me when he was crushing in nearer the door,’’ was Hender Rob- bie’s boast.

“But he

took a snuff out of my mull.’

‘*Maybe he did, but I was the last he spoke to. He said, ‘Weel, Dan’l, I’ be stepping back to Tilly.’

‘“*Ay, but I pass “| him at the Tene- ments, and he says, ‘Davit,’ he says, and I says, ‘Tamamias,’ ”’

‘*Very like; but I was carrying a ging of water frae Susie Linn’s pump, and Tamimas said would I give him a drink, the which I did.”’

‘*Lads, I'm no sure but what I noticed a far-away look in Tammas’s face, as if there was something on his mind.’’

‘If ye did, Jeames, ye kept it to your- sel’,

‘Ay, but I meant I got hame.”’

‘‘How did ye no, then?”’ “How does a body no thing? I dinna say 1 noticed but just that I’m no sure

noticed it ’’

So we all did our gart’s last words and looks on that amazing evening, even the Auld Licht minister, who cared little for popularity, claiming as a noticeable thing to have walked behind Tammas and observed thet his handkerchief was hanging out of his north pocket. But though all these

best to recall Hag-

memories have their value as relics, we have Tamimasis own word for it that from the time he reached the session

house until his return to Tillyloss he felt much as usual.

‘*Ay,’’ he would say in his impressive

way, ““naby & tihng meay nappcn pe-
