announced - Lord Harrington the
duke Of Devonshire that is to be,
and the coming duke of Kent, also
left London. .
THE MARQUIS OF LoRNE
alone remained; and he was summon
ed to the royal presence. AS the
coming duke of Argyll, the highest
Scottish nobility, he was far better
for rank than any halfpenny prince
Of two-penny principality. Then
the marriage might be turned to &C.
count in cementing the loyalty Of the
Scotch to the fortunes of the crown.
So, as sequel, after a proper time,
the duke Of Argyll became royalty's
father-in.law. The princess was ar.
gued and pushed into consent not
being very enthusiastic: The an
nouncement was received in various
ways; by the people, with: aastohish-
ment,i by the Scotch with j joy, T. and by
the royal family with feelings and
expressions that we're anything but
cordial Approvement. The PHI hcess
Beatrice, who at once saw that she
was the future walking companion of
the queen, the lone woman Of the
family, was furious, remarking con-
temptuously, when she heard it, that
there was "no one left for her but
Fred Grant or a young man from
Lewis & AIlenby's," "a large London
dry goods store). But the matter
was settled, and the obstinate prin-
cess became the marchloness of Lorne
in due time. The tutor, now Canon
Duckworth, having acted in such a
straightforward, manly way. won,
naturally, no end Of royal favor.
While the love and position of the
princess might have saved h,m any
penalties for running away with
Louise-which L she was reported quite
eager to do-still his promotion in
stategoverned. church would have
been irretrievably checked, probably
tor life; and chances for happiness
in the face of royal displeasure are
terribly few in England. The canon
and no doubt future archbishop, did
just what was manly, Christian and
best. Various favors were shown
him at once, and, on the death of
Canon Kingsley, Westminister:ab abbey
twas given to Duckworth." His ap-
pointment. to the suite of the Prince
of Wales 'is the latest y exhibition Of
this favor in memory Of his action: ,
| LoRNE's LIFE SINCE HIS MARR1 1AaE
with royalty can hardly be said to
have been a happy one for him. It's
cause force might point the same
way for his " wife, although his
just-published book, which is illus
trated by his artist spouse, gives a
slight indication Of q harmony Of
situation. Yet, whenever he attends
court he enters the palace at the en-
trance reserved for noblemen. He
sits below the seat at the royal table ;
he is known only as the marquis of
Lorne, and it is to be presumed that
| the Princess Louise does not care, as
she has force of will sufficient to
! have him treated as the husband of
4 royal princess, or else 60 herself as
the marchioness of Lorne, the to-be
duchess Of Argyll. And perhaps
another straw t'at W '"'d point to
his marital life as one Of ruffled
fwretchedness is found that the past
to him is a thorn: Whenever he
