A DIG AT THE SCOTS
Considering that Scotland provides the firm of John Bull and Co. with "most, of their Prime Ministers, practically all their- archbishops, and the best of their jokes,"-as Mr. Garvie, a character in "Scotland Expects" (J. Storer -Clouston's latest mirth-pro-voker, published by Herbert Jenkins) puts it,- she does-expect a fair share of the profits. When Mr. Garvie and the other Wotherspoon heirs saw the Wotherspoon fortune ,in danger of going across the Border, their • first thoughts were naturally of the injustice to their native land. Hard-earned Scots money being spent in England! They were sorry that there should be any suspicion of benefiting their own pockets, but they had to do-their duty, so county and town, church and farmer, led by the peerage, combined to combat the outrage. Meanwhile, all through the comedy of their intrigues runs a darker story; of the sister who had disgraced the family, the man who, strangely enough, blackmailed not her but another, and the'doctor who alone knew the truth.
