LAKELAND, FLA. Lgef 32! Rexall Goods | 1T WAS REAL ll]VE By MVRTLE BAIRD WEDITER. Peter Lowden was a disappointed man He had been six months in the United States and half that time in Chicago, and it seemed as though that period had been set aside by some cruel destiny as a special purgatorial test for his stanch spirit. “I'm wearin’ awa for a sight of auld Scotia’s heather bloom,” he sighed as from a deep dark pit of penury nnd discouragement. Jessie!—' That was where honest loyal Peter's heart pinched hardest. He could philosophize calmly over high hopes quickly biasted as to sudden wealth and position in “the new far countrie.” He was content with a dish of weak brose and an occasional finnan haddie—but Jessie, light of his heart! How he had hoped to wed his pretty modest flancee and “busk her fine {' silken gown and siller ha’ to spare,” and now “the braw moon” glistened o’er a weary city street, | Peter penniless and hopeless, and } Jessie—lost! It had come about strangely. She, an orphan, had left the little town where both had been born a few months in advance of Peter. She had written him as agreed only once, to furnish him with the penciled ad- dress of the home in Chicago where she had found employment as a lady's maid. Armed with this, Peter started to try his own fortunes in America and to be near his future bride. For three months in New York Peter wore out shoes and patience looking for work. Finally he saved “What Else Are Ye But a Fine Whistler?” ap enough to pay his fare to Chicago. He was crossing the ferry to take the train at Jersey City, when an unfor- tunate outcast, a woman passenger, jumped overboard in a desperate at- ! tempt at suicide. Peter bravely leaped after and rescued her. He was damp and uncomfortable the first stage of his train journey. Then came the appalling discovery that his soaking in the river had blurred out the pre- clous penciled address that was his oniy clue to Jessie. Then came 2 month in Chicago | where the inexperienced lad patrolled the city streets, seeking the lady of his love, to meet with bitter, utter disappointment. He spent his last dollar advertising for her without re- sult. He finally gave up the disheart- ening quest. Peter shuddered when he recalled the wretched woman on the ferry boat Then again, Jessie might be dead, or—wedded to anoth- er! All Peter could do now was to try and keep body and soul together \through odd jobs. At home he had imastered the baker's trade, but his :npecinlty lay in Scotch edibles oniy, ‘and nobody seemed to want such fare 1at American resturants. Now, this especial bleak evening Peter was at the last extremity. He was cold, sleepy, hungry. As he was passing a large dark building, how- ever, his eye brightened. It had two bulietin boards at its front. Each of these held a placard of some kind, in the center of which, plainly visible even at a distance, was the counter- feit presentment of a huge Scotch thistle. “Certes, the sight warms the sockles o' my heart!” breathed Peter raptly, and as he came nearer he dis- covered that the placards announced a Robert Burns birthday concert the following evening. “It's like a whiff o' hame," contin- aed Peter “Braw Bobby! I'm oot o' sich festivities at the present time, but ‘a man’s a man for a' that,’an’ I'll iake heart o' cheer,” and seating him- 3elf on the cold stone steps Peter be- zan to warble out cheerily, “Ye Banks and Braes o’ Bonny Doon.” “Hech, mon! but ye're frae Dum- Sarton, I ken?” Peter jumped up to observe a (rowsy ancient head stuck out past a aalf-open door. “Ye hae the burr o cried Peter. “Coom in,” invited the other, with a commiserating glance over Peter, and ne admitted him, closed sand locked the door after him and led him into the basement of the hall which seemed given over to Kitchen uses. the same!™ . It contained great ranges, pots, paus, crockery, barrels of flour, bags of sugar, in fact a culinary outfit that astonished the inexperienced Peter. i Then, as he was regarding the layout open-mouthed, his host shot the ! shrewd inquiry at him: “What else are ye but a fine whistler?” “A fine baker!"™ proclaimed Peter with proud confidence—“but Scotch, mind ye. The trade's no good in this country.” + It took David McPherson, club m “And | “7)| | and_tearful. ?dbvwrryfim "@mside out,” as hie reu.d it. what for all this prodigious food"’ qnutluned Peter. “The banquet, mon,” cert and the speechifying—the enjaymant, with mounuin dew adden- | dum,” and the old fellow went on to tell how, as the chef de cuisine in all | the functions of St. Andrews’ society ' | he held a lucrative and busy place. “I can use ye, lad, maybe permas- | nently, if ye fill the bill,” he said, and | he shared 'his supper and his bed with ' Peter, to wake up at sunrise to find his guest stauding patiently beside him in a manifest state of suppressed excitement. “I've an idea,” spoke Peter. “It enthusiastic vim he developed a wondrous scheme that had come into his mind. Scotsmen all, those at the banquet might hail the novelty of real Scotch cooking with ardor. “Ther’s mutton pies, ye mind,” ex- plained Peter. “Their mouths will water for the real home-made cook- ery. And brose—no great quantity, but a suggestion of the heathesy { moor and the childhood cot. And | scones, and oat cakes, and short | bread, and whole wheat Farrels, and Melton Mowbray pork pies!” | Peter had set the imagination of old David on fire. He was heart and soul in harmony with the plan of surprising the banqueters with Scotch fare purely. And so it came about. It was a marvelous success. Upon the eventful night men who saw be- fore them the unadulterated products of their home soil, grew tender and loyal, and the hall rang with unre- strained enthusiasm that marked the occasion as glowing and grand. Now at the banquet was one Peter Wilbur. And it so happened that at the home of this stalwart son of Scotia, mow a prosperous business man, Jessie had secured employment. Peter had taken home ome of the mutton pies to remind his wife of old times, as he had been reminded, and Mrs. Wilbur had given it to Jessie. “I've noticed yo're longing all the time,” she sald to her favorite maid. | Here’s a touch of | it, lassie, that may solace your poor| “Maybe for home. homesick heart.” partake of it with eyes retrospective A taste made her sob. “There was one, and one only in old Scotia who made the like,” she wailed—"“my best laddie, and—oh!” She burst into a scream, staring at a criss-cross mark upon the top layer of crust. “Onyx’" Look for the Trade Mark!
