"Hoot, mon, it's a grand bund!** said the Scot proudly, as he showed his American visitor the glories of thfl Highlands. "And we've an echo here that cannot be beaten." Suiting the action to the word, he relied his war cry, and exactly foufrj ninutes later the echo returned && clear as a bell. J
"That certainly is some ech* i," igreed the Yank, smiling a trifle suf .erdliously. "What for do ye smite?" inqt ired] the Scot, all the pride of posscf ;sionj quickly aroused. j "Wal." drawled his companion, "I, wish you wer» comin' back o\» er the; 'pond' with me. In my home' in the Rockies I could show you son* e more echo. When Igo to bed at / night I just lean of the bed shout, Time to get up ! Come on !' tf nd, sure just eight houis later that eel )0 comes back and wakes me up!"
