. roar =i usual + Glamis as it stands is a thing of joy to the untutored eyes of the casual visitor no less than it is to the spec- tacled optics of the archaeologist. Both are confronted--the first prob- ably with rather more distinctness than thé second--with a massive, tow- "ering Keep, bristling with odd little pepper-box- excrescences, dotted about here and there, without any attempt at regularity; two flanking wings, one of which 'wanders away into a long stretch of offices and outbuildings; the whole of pink stone, pitted and bleach- ed with the wind and weather of many centuries, Such is Glamis Castle, the oldest, the most picturesque and the most discussed private residence in the United Kingdom. The antiquity of the central part is immense--so great in fact that it stretches back beyond all records and loses itself in a haze of mystery and legend. Whether Mac- beth ever pillowed his royal head there... . does not matter much. The evidence of the Castle's stupendous age lies chiefly in itself--in its forma- tion, in the stones of which it is built and in the premediaeval thickness of its walls. It is these walle which have kept the old pile standing through all the rolling centuries and it is these walls which are responsible, in the main, for all ithe legends and "tales of mystery that surround the Castle; for in their thickness there is room for a conceal- ed house .of cubic dimensions not greatly inferior to those which the Keep now exposes to the eye. - Some of these comcealed stairways and by- ways are still accessible. What thrills of tremulous joy were mine when, as a boy, I lowered myself through a trap- door in the floor of the Blue Room dressing-room_and--candle in hand-- wound my excited 'way down a little corkscrew stone stairway which event- ually ended in nothing--I believe in the thickness of the drawing-room wall, The old twelve-foot walls are full of such little stairways and passages-- many of them known to the present generation; many others, no doubt, un- known. People used to talk much of a supposed secrét room at Glamis, 'Why, there are probably a score of secret rooms or more, blocked up per- haps centuries ago and hidden away for ever (until the Castle crumbles to ruins) in those vast mysterious walls, It would be odd indeed if eerie tales did not circle tumultuously round such a house.~Lord Ernest Hamilton, in "Qld Days and New." .

Following this conversation Sam made bold to present Alice with gifts somewhat more substantial than theretofore, Today he had: sent her a dress, and in view of her ardent gratitude he took occasion, latef in the evening, to broach another matter to which he had given much' thought. He began cautiously by telling Alice something about his father. He had never said much about Lee Ying but tonight he informed her that the im- porter was a man' of wide but unob- trusive charities. Lee Ying did much to help those deserving of assistance, regardless of race: he was deaf to no appeal. It was his money, for in- stance, which the speaker lent so lib- erally to the boys who honored him with their friendship and his father approved of the loans. The old man was forever urging his son to do more for those less happily situated than he, arguing that help at this time might be of inestimable value to them in later life. Sam wondered if Alice would take it amiss if he offered her the same sort of assistance he render- ed fellows like Gorham and Wade. "You mea:) --money?"' "Exactly. Understand, it's not mine, 'it's my father':, He considers it a privilege to aid any one engaged in the pursuit of a higher science." "I'couldn't do that," Alice exclaim- ed hurriedly. "I feel wretched enough at letting you do as much as you've done. I---think I'd die if anybody found out. Please don't tell him any- thing about me: I don't want him, or anybody, to know." "Have you told your people about me?" ! "Good lord, no! They're only look- ing for an excuse to send for me." After a moment Sam announced gravely: "Under the circumstances, I'm afraid we'll have to give up these rides. I'd never forgive myself if I were to cause trouble between your family and you." "Oh, Sam!" Alice laid a hand upon his arm and looked ap into his face. "Don't you want to gee me any more?" He assured her SHE ty that he did want to see her, that he wani- ed to see as much of her as possible. He could not tell her how much her friendship had meant to him. "I'm the loneliest, hungriest fellow in. the college, and I find nothing incongru- ous or improper n our friendship. But I'm not blind. I understand why you meet me in the darkest spot on your street: why you refuse to go out in public with me. It's a hard thing to swallow." For a while they rode in silence, then Alice inquired: "Is it my fault any more than yours?" "No. It's the fault of a senseless, formless prejudice which I hate be- cause 1 can't understand it. For that matter, I hate clandestine things, too. We can't go on like *his." "Why not?" 8 "For one thing I have a pretty stiff Chinese pride and for another I've been taught filial obedience, You owe it to your people to observe their pro- hibitions." "Indeed! . .. You remember the girl in the Chinese story? Chin Ting, wasn't that her name? Well, her peo- ple forbade her to go to the Feast of the Lanterns but the boy contrived her escape. . Clandestinely, I guess people are pretty much alike, the world over, Chinese or American. It's rather exciting to be clandestine. There's a kick in. it." 'Alice laughed in her intimate "cozy" tone and lean- ed closer to her companion. His heart pounded at her touch. "Don't let's get prudish in our old age, Sam. I'm not going to give you up. Not for some silly principle--some foolish prejudice. I'm too selfish." A trifle thickly he told her, "I must either see more of you or--very much less. 7 "Very well, but with things as they are we can't go out in. public--Oh, gulp down that Chinese. pride of yours!

Sam's quarters were filled with objects of Oriental] art; anything she admired he gave to her. That was his Eastern way, and | k a very 'pretty practice she considered it. He was ever obliging: when she wished to talk he talked, when she was blue he made her laugh with an- tics and absurdities. He could do many mystifying tricks. of legerde- main and she called him a wicked magician; she wag surprised to learn also that he was a musician of sorts and could play a number of instru- ments passably well. He could even improvise words, like a medieval min- strel, and sometimes he put on nis Chinese robes and sang Chinese songs, some -of his own making, to the ac- companiment of a long-necked Chi nese banjo. / That which delighted her above all however, was to have him perform on a slim little silver pipe, or flagelot, which gave forth thin, flutelike tones. As the spring semester drew to a close Alice confessed that her plans for the future were uncertain and as a consequence she was in a painful quandary. Her parents expected her to return home, but she knew very well what that would mean--the end of her career. On the other hand, she, could not remain in the East unless' she found employment for the sum- mer and positions were rare, was greatly depressed. Sam spoke again of a login but she would not listen to his suggestion. It was unthinkable: some self-respect. After all, what would another year in the art school profit her without a finishing course abroad? The worst of it was she and Sam would never gee each other again. No more rides, no more chats, no. more cozy evenings like this. . . It was all very well to talk about sacrifice, the stony road to success, but what more could she sacrifice? .

"Chung", I sald when leaying, "What shall we call that island of ours?" : .
