Willie Law, a half-witted man, was the descendant of an ancient family, nearly related to the famous John Law, of Lauriston, the celebrated financier of France. Willie on that account was often spoken to and taken notice of by gentlemen of distinction. Posting one day through Kirkaldy, with more than ordinary speed, he was met by Mr.
But here, in his mountain retreat, sole master, his slaves in attendance on him, he was once more an Englishman, in externals, as he always was at heart, and Richie Cloche, from the Lang Toon of Kirkaldy, shone forth in all his glory as the kind hearted landlord.
I did fairly well in this, the first open competition for which I entered, being bracketed with poor Hugh Kirkaldy for third place. But I failed in the Championship competition, as, of course, I fully expected to do. That was Willie Auchterlonie's year, and I was some way down the list.
The material produced in this manner is said to have the strength and durability of the best leather belts. Attempts have recently been made to obtain a glue suitable for joining the ends of driving belts, without the use of metal fastenings or sewing, and Messrs. David Kirkaldy & Son have reported favorably on such a belt glue, which is being introduced by Mr.
When it was rumoured that the Misses Harding, Ross, and Lawrence the three acknowledged beauties of the club were his sponsors the interest was vastly increased. Wallace appeared half an hour ahead of the appointed time, and I introduced him to Kirkaldy. The latter studied him intently as they chatted, but asked no questions concerning his identity with their native Scotland.

'I don't think you met him here, said Lady Kirkaldy to Mrs. Egremont; 'but he heard the name and was struck by it. 'Dear Mark! was the response. 'He was so kind. 'He is a dear good boy, chimed in my lady. 'Yes, said her lord, 'an excellent good fellow with plenty of brains. 'As he well knows, said Mr. Egremont. 'Oh yes; I quite agree with all you say of him!
'I think your niece had no nearer relation than yourself, said Lady Kirkaldy, anxious to set her off and at ease. 'Oh no, or she never would have been so treated. She was an orphan. My poor brother was a curate. He married as young men will on insufficient means, his strength gave way, and he died of diphtheria when this poor child was only two years old.
The earl of Athole himself, a known Catholic, was the first author of this confederacy, the earls of Argyle, Morton, Marre, Glencairne, the lords Boyd, Lindesey, Hume, Semple, Kirkaldy of Grange, Tulibardine, and Secretary Lidington, entered zealously into it.
Wallace looked over an array of clubs, selected some which suited him, but retained my cleek and mashie. It was agreed I should act as caddy for Wallace, Chilvers for Kirkaldy, and that Carter should referee. LaHume declined to act in any capacity. All games were postponed to watch this strange contest, and the "gallery" clustered at the first tee numbered fully one hundred.
