THE LOST SPOONS. The parish of Bathgate, in Linlithgowshire, ought to be reckoned among the classic spots of Scotland, inasmuch as it formed part of the dowry which Robert the Bruce bestowed on his eldest daughter, Margery, when she married Walter, the high steward of Scotland, and thus became the progenitrix of the royal and unlucky house of Stuart. Lying midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow, those rival queens of the east and west, but out of the common track of traffic and travel, it has been for ages a pastoral parish of small and rather backward farms. Of late years coal has been found there, and steam and trade, which bid fair to leave the world no rustic corner, are rapidly turning it into a mining district, which nobody thought of about the time of the general peace, when Bathgate lived on its own oats and barley, wore its own hodden gray and had but two subjects of interest—the corn market and the kirk session. Among its peaceable and industrious population there was one dame who, though neither the wealthiest nor the best born, stood in her own esteem above all but the lairl and the minister, and her style and title was Widow Simpson. This lady valued herself, not on the farm left her by the good man who had departed this life some seven years before the commencement of our story, for its acres were few and they consisted of half reclaimed moorland; not on her grown up son Robin, though he was counted a likely and sensible lad; not on her own thrifty housekeeping, though it was known to be on the "tight screw" principle; but on the possession of a dozen silver teaspoons. Her account of them was that they had belonged to the young chevalier, and had been bestowed upon her grandfather in return for entertaining that claimant to the British crown on his march from Culloden—in proof of which she was accustomed to point out a half obliterated crest and the initials C. S., with which they were marked. The widow's neighbors, however, had a different tale regarding their coming into the family. It was to the effect that her grandfather, who kept a small inn somewhere in Fife, had bought them from an old miller for three gallons of Highland oil. looked into for the missing silver and active boys were bribed to turn out magpies' nests. Wells and barns in the neighborhood were explored. The criers of the three nearest parishes were employed to proclaim the loss; it was regularly advertised at kirkgate and market place, and Mrs. Simpson began to talk of getting a search warrant for the begar's meal pouch. Bathgate was alarmed through all its borders concerning the spoons; but when almost a month had worn away and nothing could be heard of them, the widow's suspicions turned from beggars, barns and magpies to light on poor Nancy. She had been scouring the spoons, and had left the house last; silver could not leave the table without hands. It was true that Nancy had always borne an unquestioned character, but such spoons were not to be met with every day, and Mrs. Simpson was determined to have them back in her stocking. After sundry hints of increasing breadth to Robin, who could not help thinking his mother was losing her judgment, she one day plumped the charge, to the utter astonishment and dismay of the poor girl, whose anxiety in the search had been inferior only to her own. Though poor and an orphan, Nancy had some honest pride; she immediately turned out the whole contents of her kist (box), unstrung her pocket in Mrs. Simpson's presence and ran with tears in her eyes to tell the minister. As was then common in the country parishes of Scotland, difficulties and disputes which might have employed the writers and puzzled the magistrates were referred to his arbitration, and thus lawsuits or scandal prevented. The minister had heard—as who in Bathgate had not—of Mrs. Simpson's loss. Like the rest of the parish, he thought it rattle strange; but Nancy Campbell was one of the most serious and exemplary girls in his congregation, and he could not believe that the charge preferred against her was true. Yet the peculiarities of the case demanded investigation. With some difficulty the minister persuaded Nancy to return to her mistress, bearing a message to the effect that he and two of his elders who happened to reside in the neighborhood would come over the following evening, hear what could be said on both sides, and if possible clear up the mystery. The widow was well pleased to have the minister... Her account of them was that they had belonged to the young chevalier, and had been bestowed upon her grandfather in return for entertaining that claimant to the British crown on his march from Culloden—in proof of which she was accustomed to point out a half obliterated crest and the initials C. S., with which they were marked. The widow's neighbors, however, had a different tale regarding their coming into the family. It was to the effect that her grandfather, who kept a small inn somewhere in Fife, had bought them from an ill doing laird for three gallons of Highland whiskey, and bestowed them on his grandaughter as the one of his family most likely to hold fast to such an important acquisition. In the family resided in the capacity of "help" one Nancy Campbell, a girl about nineteen, who was suspected of having taken a fancy to Robin, who reciprocated the sentiment. Nothing, however, would soften the heart of the widow as regards a match, until at last the following event occurred and caused her to give way: About the haymaking time a distant and comparatively rich relation was expected to call and take tea one evening on his way from Linlithgow. It was not often that this superior relative honored her house with a visit, and Mrs. Simpson, determined that nothing should be wanting to his entertainment, brought out the treasured spoons early, in the forenoon, with many injunctions to Nancy touching the care she should take in brightening them up. While this operation was being conducted in the kitchen, in the midst of one of those uncertain days which vary the northern June, a sudden darkening of the sky announced the approach of heavy rain. The hay was dry and ready for housing. Robin and two farm men were busy gathering it in; but the great drops began to fall while a considerable portion yet remained in the field, and, with the instinct of crop preservation, forth rushed the widow, followed by Nancy, leaving the spoons half scoured on the kitchen table. In her rapid exit the girl had forgotten to latch the door. The weasel and the kite were the only depredators known about the moorland farm; but while they were all occupied in the hay field, who should come that way but Geordy Wilson. Well, the kitchech door was open, and Geordy stepped in. He banged the settle with his staff, he coughed, he hemmed, he saluted the cat, which sat purring on the window seat, and at length discovered there was nobody within. Neither meal nor penny was to be expected that day; the rain was growing heavier, some of the hay must be wet, and Mrs. Simpson would return in bad humor. But two objects powerfully arrested Geordy's attention; one was the broth pot boiling on the fire and the other the silver spoons scattered on the table. Bending over the former Geordy took a considerable sniff, gave the ingredients a stir with the pot stick, and muttered "Very thin." His prostrate must strange; but Nancy Campbell was one of the most serious and exemplary girls in his congregation, and he could not believe that the charge preferred against her was true. Yet the peculiarities of the case demanded investigation. With some difficulty the minister persuaded Nancy to return to her mistress, bearing a message to the effect that he and two of his elders who happened to reside in the neighborhood would come over the following evening, hear what could be said on both sides, and if possible clear up the mystery. The widow was well pleased to have the minister and his elders come to inquire after her spoons. She put on her best mutch—that is to say, cap—prepared her best speeches and enlisted some of the most serious and reliable of her neighbors to assist in the investigation. Early in the evening of the following day—when the summer sun was wearing low and the field work was over—they were all assembled in the clean scoured kitchen, the ministers, elders and neighbors, soberly listening to Mrs. Simpson's testimony touching her lost silver, Nancy, Robin and the farm men sitting by until their turn came; when the door, which had been left half open to admit the breeze—for the evening was sultry—was quietly pushed aside, and in slid Geordy Wilson, with his usual accompaniments of staff and wallet. “There's nae room for ye here, Geordy,” said the widow; “we're on weighty business.” "Weel, mem," said Geordy, turning to depart, "it's of nae consequence. I only came to speak about your spoons." "Hae ye heard o' them?" cried Mrs. Simpson, bouncing from her seat. "I couldna miss beein blessed wi' the precious gift of hearing, and what's better, I saw them," said Geordy. "Saw them, Geordy? Whar are they? and here's a whole shillin for ye," and Mrs. Simpson's purse, or rather an old glove used for that purpose, was instantly produced. "Weel," said Geordy, "I slipped in ao day, and seen the siller unguarded I thought some ill guided body might covet it, and jist laid it by, I may say, amang the leaves o' that Bible, thinkin you would be sure to see the spoons when you went to read." Before Geordy had finished his revelation Nancy Campbell had brought down the proudly displayed but never opened Bible, and interspersed between its leaves lay the dozen of long sought spoons. The minister of Bathgate could scarcely command his gravity while admonishing Geordy on the trouble and vexation his trick had caused. The assembled neighbors laughed outright when the daft man, pocketing the widow's shilling, which he had clutched in the early part of his discourse, assured them all that he kenned Mrs. Simpson read her Bible so often the spoons would be certain to turn up. Geordy got many a basin of broth and many a luncheon of bread and cheese on account of that transaction, with which he saluted the cat, which sat purring on the window seat, and at length discovered there was nobody within. Neither meal nor penny was to be expected that day; the rain was growing heavier, some of the hay must be wet, and Mrs. Simpson would return in bad humor. But two objects powerfully arrested Geordy's attention; one was the broth pot boiling on the fire and the other the silver spoons scattered on the table. Bending over the former Geordy took a considerable sniff, gave the ingredients a stir with the pot stick, and muttered "Very thin." His proceeding with regard to the latter must remain unmentioned; but half an hour after, when he was safely ensconced in a farmhouse a smile off and the family had been driven within doors by the increasing storm, they found everything as it had been left—the broth on the fire, the cat on the window seat, the whiting and flannel on the table; but not a spoon was there. "What's the spoons?" cried Mrs. Simpson to the entire family, who stood by the fire drying their wet garments. Nobody could tell. Nancy had left them on the table when she ran to the hay. No one had been in the house, they were certain, for nothing was disturbed. The drawer was pulled out, and the empty stocking exhibited. Every shelf, every corner, was searched, but to no purpose; the spoons had disappeared and the state of the farmhouse may be imagined. The widow ran through it like one distracted, questioning, scolding and searching. Robin, Nancy and the farm men were dispatched in different directions, as soon as the rain abated, to inform the neighbors, under the supposition that some strolling beggar or gypsy might have carried off the treasure, and would attempt to dispose of it in the parish. Nobody thought of Geordy Wilson. He had not been spied from the hay field; his circuits were wide; his visits to any house were not frequent; and if he avoided Widow Simpson's from the day of her loss, it was believed Geordy knew that neither her temper nor her liberality would be improved by that circumstance. Lost the spoons were beyond a doubt, and the widow bade fair to lose her senses. The rich relation came at his appointed time, and had such a tea that he vowed never again to trust himself in the house of his entertainer. But the search went on; rabbits' holes were spoons. The minister of Bathgate could scarcely command his gravity while admonishing Geordy on the trouble and vexation his trick had caused. The assembled neighbors laughed outright when the daft man, pocketing the widow's shilling, which he had clutched in the early part of his discourse, assured them all that he kenned Mrs. Simpson read her Bible so often the spoons would be certain to turn up. Geordy got many a basin of broth and many a luncheon of bread and cheese on account of that transaction, with which he amused all the firesides of the parish. Mrs. Simpson was struck dumb even from scolding. The discovery put an end to her ostentatious professions, and it may be hoped, turned her attention more to practice. By way of making amends for her unjust imputations on Nancy Campbell, she consented to receive her as a daughter-in-law within the same year, and it is said there was peace ever after in the farmhouse; but the good people of Bathgate, when discussing a character of more frecuse than performance, still refer to Widow Simpson's spoons.
