On investigating, they found a Pair of large buck deer, fighting in a cle?aeleg. The deer •repeatedly launehed them- selves at each other, and their horna clacked with terrific force. Atter an unusually severe impact, the watelhers gasped with aatonisanent to see that the horns had locked,, The bucks tug- ged and tore; they whirled in innumer- able circles; they struck at each other with their front hoots; but they were powerless to free themselves. The men moved into the °leering. and walked to within a few yarde of the combatants, but the bueltts paid no heed to them and continued their struggles. For a few momenta they, would rest, panting heavily; then they would renew the fight. .After several. hours the two great animals lay down exhausted. Both were bleeding from terrible carts, that flying hoofs' had In- flicted. Unable to separate the ani- mals, bate hunters • mercifully ended the struggle, which neither deer could have survived.

Usually she rose, • lighted her room, dressed herself ` and sat down • in a chair, whose legs were set in glass tumblers. • Instead of being gratefttl that she had not been aware of the storm, the did lady was filled with wrath when she heard of it the next morning.

Like other Welsh namte,e, it is only in the last few hundred years that it hasp become hereditary, for while the Welsh from the earliest period used •the descriptive or occupational sur- name, and also the surname indicating parentage„ It was really only under English influence that any of these surnames outlived the individuals bearing, them, to be assumed by their children and grandchildren: In this the Welsh differed from the other re- presentativesof the Celtic raoe, the ;Scots and the Irish, who developed real family names from clan names. It is more than likely that the family name of ' Seddon developed in one or mote Welsh families which had been founded • by Welshmen emigrating to GAFFNEY.
