More than once has riu» question n«

A letter ha* come to h::id that w::s I

were of Laurie Ilk. as Scotch folk say.
and they had pone t» some consider
able pains to K> t the story the song
straight, as there had been consider- j
able contention about it. Here it is:
"Jean Riddel! (the nameluter spelled ,
Riddle) was married to Sir Robert
Laurie, the first baronet of Muxwelton. 1
One of their daughters was Annie Lau* j
rle. celebrated in Scotch son;,'.
"Annie Laurlf was famed for her i
beauty and dev.: ness. uud was a social
favorite In all the country round about,
so It was not at all surprising tliut she
captivated a Mr. Pouglas of England,
a man of culture and of letters, whj ,
composed the song bearing her name. J
"But seeing that the course of true '
love does not run smoothly, she mar-1

(Copyrlshc)
THE TYRANNY OF TOO TIGHT A
REIGN.
Tyranny in a nation can transform
the freest people that ever breathed
Into hopele.-s slave*. numbly submis
sive and spiritless. i.r scheming rebels
with a smile on thA" lips but bate in
their hearts as they dream their gold
en dreams of secret revolt and a bold
break for liber y.»There Is u brand of
bossism in married life, of petty ty
ranny In the hnjiie that duplicates in
miniature this i!iie:.ntm of results. It
saps the ambit u. courage and vitality
of husbands and « '• ■<. and transforms
theta into dull, crushed, colorless be
incs, or If they <!o not submit thus
meekly it train* them persistently fa
smiling hvproerisy. trickery, deceit. ly
ing and plotting to clieat the tyranny
they do not dare openly to resent.
Have you ever t >« r the husband, of
the timid, suppressed type, who al
ways answer- his wife's .••all with "yes,
my dear." "no, my dear.* or "Just In a
moment, my dear." It is never the
sweet "dear" that drops gently Into a
sentence like a caress. His "my dear"
with Its monotonous iteration of a
phonograph record seems a continuous
phrase of placating. It is not affec
tion. it Is just fe-ir: it seems a pleading
deprecatory gesture of the voice as if
trying to dodge n rebuke or a lecture
as one Involuntarily wards off an at
tack with the upraised arm. T"U i
somehow f.-el that you should take him
Into a cozy corner and soothe him,
and tell him w>t to be afraid, that you
will protect him.
nen you are aione wliii nun uc
may talk easily, cleverly and well: the
stream of his conversation runs
smooth and free like a mountain brook
but It suddenly trickles into Irrelevant
commonplaces when his wife enters
the room, the whole atmosphere seems
changed, ar.d you vaguely wonder who
shut off the water supply. You do not
like the surreptitious way he covers his
lighted cigar with his hat: it seems too
much like a child caught with its hand
in the sugar howl. Hp can never tell
you definitely whether he can go out
tomorrow night: he will let you know
later and you feel that he has already
begun to plan how he can secure his
wife's countersign to his pass. Even
when he is doing what is absolutely
right and harmless he becomes wonder
ously fertile in lying excuses, those
conversational capsules to sweeten the
breath of su<pici«n. His ill-concealed
joy when his wife has to go out of
town for a day or two is not a mere
confession; it is a condensed biog
raphy.
Sometimes it is the husband. In
domineering assertion of authority,
who plays the poor, petty role of do
mestic tyrant. He dictates, he de
mands, he threatens, he forbids, he is
sues his orders as ultimatums in a
manner that would be unwarranted
even were he a pirate captain haran
guing his crew. He forgets that mar
rSi'ie means r.irtn^lr.^. not proprie^
torship. freedom of botil iti the T".est
i interests of both, not slavery of either.
His assaults on her rights when he
crosses the dead line of intolerance
ttud despotically demands obedience
may not be received as submissively,
as uncomplainingly and as Anally, as
he in his blind conceit believes.
He may secure an outward sem
blance of submission but actually con
temptuous rebellion. Brought to bay,
her bitter protest of opposition may
make her dangerously ingenious In out
• witting him. When In a moment of
; pique at some act of her family he
i dares to order her never to see them
or write them or hear from them, she
feels the cruel Injustice of this cuttinn
of the ties of love and tenderness she
may resort to subterfuge. Intrigue,
evuslon and systematic deception and
defy hitn behind his back while she
seems sweetly and serenely reslgued In
his presence. She may drift unknow
ingly into a course of action normally
repucnant as she surrenders to a tide
of conditions of constant despoiic in
justice. Tyranny needs a hundred
watch dogs—trustful love, none.
| When she finds a quarantine or
dered against some of her dearest and
best friends coining to the house, her
self-respect blushes at the plausible
lies she writes or speaks to prevent
their knowing the real reason. When
she fears to teJJ him of some misdeed
of one of the children because of the j
cruel punishment his anger may pre- •
scribe, he is slamming the door on her .
confidence and giving a,bonus of new
license to the little rebel in the nur- I
scry. When she gives false statistics ;
as to the price of some simple article j
she has bought. Just to avoid a "scene,"
he Is giving her unwise post-graduate :
courses in duplicity which may later j
prove costly. He is worse than wrong
—he Is foolish.
lie is paying a big price for his
tyranny when the song dies away on '
her lips as she hears his key click In j
the lock in the evening and she draws j
a long breath of relief when he leaves j
home in the morning. Then she may i
remember with a sigh and a little dim
ming of the eyes the sweet early days
of their married life when, not satisfied '
with the mere good morning kiss she |
used to stand on the porch and follow
him with her eyes and semaphore lovo
with her fluttering little wisp of a j
handkerchief as he looked back in the |
sunshine at the bend of the road that
soon shut him from her sight. And
she had struggled so long and faith
fully to hold back the ebbing tide of
her love fur him and love had gone and j
carried respect with It, and she, grown I
Dard. n.nd Mtter nd rebellious, had I
tost the best of life and so 'iad he. !
Sometimes a wife may unwisely seek j
to keep the love, loyalty and coustanc.v !
of her nusband oy holding him with a |
Xght rein, by restrictions and limlta- |
rlons that fretted and chafed, by petty
exactions and tyrannies to keep hiui
close by her side. Have you ever held
a butterfly In the prison of your palm,
with Jhe slightly-parted, arched fingers j
as bars, and, fearing it might escape,
press Inadvertently c little too tightly
and then be suddenly conscious that |
the fluttering whirr had ceased j
and, opening the bars and peering In,
find that the beautiful wings were
stilled forever and that the butterfly j
was dead?
