THE EXECUTION

The following story is vouched for by one o! our longevity can- didates who claims that his grand- father was among the party which witnessed the execution.

The yarn is herewith written for lhe entertainment of my readers.

Going back to the year 1771 and Ito the district of Malpeque. ive see o. group of people recently arrived from Cantyre. Argyllshirc. These early settlers are outnumbered about three to one by the Indians. ll Malpeque at that time was the chief Indian village on the Island.

Not far from the Indian camp we find sevcrnl white men sitting around a. small fire. warming their rioonday ruczil. Stacked neatly against the trunk of a giant tree are their muskets. axes and saws. \Vhen the party had finished their humble fare and liad drunk their coarse whey. they lighted up their I pipes and utigaged in light con- versation. Although it was late October the day was plcasantlyt, warm with a balmy wind whisper- | ing among the trees of the prlme- | {val forest. i

Suddenly tlie talk ceased when footsteps were heard treading on- dry twigs. A moment more and the: figure of s. huge savage came to view. The stranger advanced at s brisk pace. came to a halt iviien he'd reached the spot where the men sat smoking.

“Won't. ye sit doon and join us in a friendly chat?" spoke one of tiic group. '

The Indian grunted his approval and stretched himself full length on the ground. His English \'a.=t' bard fb follow. but lie appeared to understand _\vhat tlic palefares \\t‘i‘.' paying. ‘

For some minutes the talk went pn. The ltlicmacs of the distrlcti were n friendly lot and there was‘ nothing to fear from the new-comer. 5 ‘The fellow did not even carry lllsl bow and arrows. I-le appeared tn be quite at home with this party u! yvhiie men.

Finally somebody suggested a wrestling bout between the big ted "titan and Bully MacLeod, or "Roar- lug lilacLeori." as most of the llettlers called the giant Scotchniaii. fll-ie Indian atrccptet] the challenge .\"i!l1 .11 grunt. a sly smile spreading across his dark face.

sunset, coloring the rim of the world. The morning was one to beckon folks to the outdoors and there it was, neglecting lesser in- door cares, that we came happily with the small ones. Two new sleds appeared early and when presently we found a cleared place in the yard which offered good coasting, other interests quickly faded. There is no uncertain fascination in this sport. undimnied even for Jamie who must haul his sled to the start- ing point. Grand-daughter favored only because of her tender years rode both ways, and coasting alone. handled the occasion without. diffi- culty. There were no disturbing spills and often the laughs rang out merrily so that once James set down the pails he was carrying and remained briefly with us to join in the fun. - e - The entertainment might have continued over a longer period, if dinner time had not approached so suddenly. “If you had just renieni- bcred to boil it altogether today. we could have had more time to coast." Jamie commented, not with- out good reason. But grand-daugh- ter was allowed to dine with us and we had a merry meal. Fried spiced beet‘ was our main dish. though our company and James still suffering from a surfeit of Christmas fare. preferred crisped cod-fish with the baked and buttered potatoes we served. O I O

There were browned onion rings for those who faitcied them, but carrots for tliosc who liked a more colorful plute. For dessert. we ate bread and honey. a favored viand arid out; itvliicli alivays sets liie small ones to chuckling. "Buzz- 2-1- I'm a bee nowl" she will laugh

She must go home to licr napping after dinner and soon thcre is iliat hlcasant interval which brings us Jeanie to look o\'er the papers and comment on the news of the day. Sometimes Jeanie reads aloud choice bits, perhaps as today of a birth of common interest. “\Vell." James offered. "I knew the grand- mother, when she was a girh-and it's‘: pretty woman she was. l haven't seen her for years". “I guess," I observed, complacently, “she wouldn't be so pretty now. You often see pretty girls make homely old ladies and on the other hand commonplace features are en- hall“!!! by 88E!" And we chuckled, and were happy in the event to have bridged the years.

"Now what shall we do?" Jamie asked, when presently we were left alone. Jeanie gone to her cues and the farmers to their hauling from the other farm. “How about mak- ing doughnuts?" I suggested. this being something like a game, and indeed more entertaining than most. Plop! down goes an ordin- ary round of dough in the boiling fat and in an instant as though suddenly come alive it fights its way to the surface and takes on an individuality, that is at once inter- esting and amusing. Together as we fried the cake we learned of the inflamable nature of the liquid and Jamie allowed to drop some of the rounds into the depths o! it. did so with obvious respect.

We enjoyed our handiwork to- night. when Rob and Karolyn and their younger lad came to visit- in a sleigh, with bells a-jingle. By then, however, Jamie was in bed and asleep. But the rest ate dough- nuts and Christmas cake and cookies and drank tea out of .the new garlanded cups. Jeanie's gift to us, and cleaned up the last of the fudge that had been made for Christmas. James carried the young fellow to the house across the lane to lee the tree there and they must also go upstairs here to see Jamie snug beneath the covers, and in dresrnlsnd.

"It's l nice time of year, Ellen," James offers. putting away the lantern. which lit the visitors down the driveway, and then went with hirn s last round st the stables. Then sddl: "We're going to miss Jamie when he goes!" 0 O O

DEAR. MISS DIX: l have just completed a business course and l would appreciate very much ii’ you would tell me just what. an employer has s right to expect of s secretary.

I\IAR'l‘HA H.

ANSWER: Naturally, every employer has a right to expect effici- ency from his secretary and he generally gets it, or she gets another job. Once in a blue moon a girl makes good looks a substitute for good work. but it happens so rarely that it is not worth considering in thc technique of a private secretary.

Every employer has a right to expect his secretary to have good manners and that she will be pleasant and agreeable to deal with. He expects her to park her temperament at hoiiie and not bring it with her to work. A busy employer has no time to deal with an employee who has to be handled with gloves and around whose peculiarities he has to gumshoc.

Ari employer has the right to expect that his secretary shall be neat and clean and well-groomed. and especially that she shall smell of soau and ivater and nut cheap perfume. No man wants to spend his day look- ing at a girl who looks as if she should hc run through n washing machine. or in an office that reeks with scent like a drugstore. lVluny a girl loses l1(‘I‘ job because she doesn't shampoo lier liair often enough. or because she wears soiled clothes. or because she is a perfume addict.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am engaged to .1 boy who has a perfect complex about being henpccked; therefore. he feels that iie htis to assert himself at every iiirii and ignore my every wish in order lo slioiv flint he will not. be bosscd. I nm not of the dictatorial type and T certainly wouldn't ivzint a mouse for u husband; but, after all, I tiiink my ivislics should be considered sometimes. Don't you?

ENGAGED GIRL

ANSWER: l! you marry s man who has to be continually assert- ing his auihoriLv. you will gct a tyrant for n muster. It. is only weal." men and little men who are tifrald of being lienpccked. You never saw a big man who boasted about. being the Iiead of his house and who made his wife kowiow to him. A strong. self-reliant mun doesn't consider ii beneath his dignity to consult with his wife and take her advice, but u weakling always dispnragcs his wile.
