Ada Gorman Writes Interest ingly of Journey to Scott's Home Near Glasgow. In a letter to The Times-Tribnne, Mrs. Ada Rogers Godtnan of this city, who toured Great Britain with Mr. Blanks and -his party, writes of the trip as follows : When we left the boat the train was at the wharf and after we passed the customs we were soon on board the traia xeeing rural England. As far as the eye could follow Iky green fields of rye, oats, hay or vegetables divided by trimmed hedges or rock walls and trees whose boughs had nev er been trimmed. Such a wonderful green country meets the delighted and 1 surprised tourist. Our guide is an Englishman, n Mr. Bird. He is tall and thin with the stride of Jack the Giant Killer. When the train stopped at York, the time to visit the minister wqs 30 minutes. The tower of this great cathedral looks a stone's throw away. The Concord crowd running to keep up with party—the entire party running to keep in sight of Mr. Bird lest he turn a corner and we lose the direc tion to the cathedral—was a picture I shall never forget. The slogan of the guide is “Hurry! Hurry ! Hurry !” —a knock on our door nt 6 :30. Breakfast 7:15. Bus wait ing to go to the station. Train leav ing at 8. Some days an all day ride. Another day we visit several extra towns en route. Three days in Glasgow gave us Sunday only n drive over in the a£- terenoon. A day in the' Thosache ; the hills or bonnie braes of Scotland; the trip by train ride. The hills are cov ered with ferns or brachen and trees. A long black line from cottage to top of hill is a rock will and within its boundaries sheep browse. Ellen's Isle is in Lock Katrine a small island covered with trees whose rock base points many a place where Ellen could have hidden w ; hen she heard the hunter's born. The home of the McGregor Clan is named Glen gyle on Lock Katrine. Anyone of the clan surviee. Nine of the clan were killed in the war. Ellen Mc- Gregor's home on the opposite side of the lake is nestled in the hills a rqoflesx weather worn cabin. The caves where she lived with Rob Roy are covered with bracken. The cathedral of St. Andrews in Glasgow was built in the tenth cen-„ tury. A tower that stands nearby tolls four hours every day—toll was paid at the gates of this town to en ter the city. This town is mentioned in Rob Roy. The Glasgow Green is the place id the olden days where pris oners were hanged. We visited Abbottsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott. In this place ev ery room is so filled with the person ality of the writer that his intimate life is laid bare. Portraits of his fath er, mother, his son and two daughters, his friends, his two servants, his dog, all tell with whom he lived. Twenty thousand books in his library are just as he left them. In his study the walls are lined with books. The desk in the center of the room holds thou sands of papers of manuscript. The guide gave us the story of Scott's ancestors. They were border raiders and when the larder .was empty it was made known by spurs placed in the covered dish on the din ing table, so that spurs would be put on at once and a raid made on the border. If caught in the act the pen alty was hanging. It so happened that the one who was one of Scott's ancestors was brought before the court. The sentence was hanging. The mother appealed for him. The magistrate Slid: “Hang him or mar ry my-daughter.” When he saw the daughter he said: “I prefer banging.” Later on, he learned to love her and married her. She became the grand mother of Sir Walter Scott. In the window of his library that overlooks the river Tweed, Scott loved to stand and look at the beautiful country. Near this window is a ta ble cabinet. In it is the day book of Napoleoen, the miniature of his sis ter and mother. The cross is made of mother of pearls and ivory that Mary Queen of Scots carried to her execution. The sword of Robert Bruce, called the Claymore, hangs on the wall of this room. It was used by him him and his soldiers at Bannockburn. Rob Roy’s sword, and a poefcetbook hnng there. In the study is the bust of Scott which everyone is familiar with, made of him when he was fifty. In the tower room leading from the study lies the death mask of the novelist on a table. In a glass case in front of a window in that room is- the last suit Sir Wal ter Scott wore. The vest is white and black striped, trousers white and black plaid, his shoes and white beaver. The guide said: “Here they be, what he wore, dead 92 years ago.” The great grandson of Sir Walter Scott married Lady Maxwell. She has been dead five years. This lovely place with the intimate collections of a life time, where the heart and soul of a man lay bare, Is in the possession of his grandson. , • Abbotsford the pride of Scotland— one of the shrines of tlje world. DAN WIDENHOUSE DENIES TRUTH OF DYNAMITE STORY Declares That No Attempt Was Made On His Life by Placing Explosive In Automobile. Prohibition Agent Dan Widenhouse declares that the story which has gone the ronnds of the county is undecided ly untrue. No attempt has been made on his life that he konws of and, if any dyuimite has been placed in his automobile, it is stil lthere because he hasn’t moved it, he adds. The scene of the plot on Mtv Wideuhouse’s life is variously placed. One favorite spot for the attempted dastardly deed is Stanfield although a half <to»en other places in- this and surrounding counties are pressing Stanfield for the honors. The story is as follows: While Mr. Widenhouse wad visiting at one of the numerous places mentioned, he had occasion to leave his car for a considerable length of time. When he returned to the automobile he not ed, with his customary quick eye,' THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE that all was not as he had left it. On investigation, the story goes, he discovered two sticks of dynamite placed ingeniously so that when he started the car, there would be an explosion and he would' be blown to atoms. One of tbe sticks was under the seat and the other was under the footboard. ■Persons telling the story usually (T) 3 NSU Tift] Vjs- Come oßetteriiiaSi Ever j!
