were sent out, and in a few minutes q
file of soldiers marched in the house.
All this commotion was caused by the
discovery OF a few words written with
a diamond upon pane of glass in one
of the parlor windows. There were
only two or three sentences, but they
were terribly reasonable. The first of
them was God save the king" a SEN
tence that we can hardly imagine ever
to have been thought reasonable in
England. But at that time the king,
Charles l., had incurred the enmity of
a large body of his subjects, and the
country was ruled by parliament and
the army; so in some places it was as
dangerous to express loyalty to the
king as in others it was unsafe to wish
well to Cromwell and his army.
1t would have been dangerous to let
those reasonable words rem ain on the
parlor window, and very likely the
landlord did not think of cheap and
safe way of getting rid of them by
simply breaking the glass At any rate,
he sent word to the authorities, and an
investigation was begun.
The inn people were all strictly loyal
to the Cromwell government, and as
there were only three guests in the
house, one of them must have been the
guilty person. Two of the guests were
a beautiful boy and still more beau
tiful girl-brother and sister. Hand
somely and extensively dressed, with
rings on their fingers and gold chains
about their necks, they were travelling
from London to the island of Guernsey.
The other guest was very young gen.
tleman who had just taken his degree
at Cam bridge, and was on his way to
France to begin tour Of the continent.
He too, was well-bred and handsomely
dressed, and, like the others, he was
too proud to exhibit any alarm-if, in
deed, he felt any-when the soldiers
arrested him with the other two to
answer to the capital oh arge of treason.
All three of the young people were
loyal to their king, and they all knew
that the handsome boy who travelled
with his sister was the one who had
written the words upon the glass. But
their knowing it and the authorities
being able to prove 1t were very dlHer-
ent matters. Between files of soldiers
they were all marched 10 the castle
and arraigned before the governor.
The governor of the island was an old
gentleman, but mot too old to notice
the beautiful face and modest but dig
nified bearing of the young lady pris-
oner.
The young gentleman who was trav-
cling alone was first questioned, and
described himself as William Temple,
eldest son of Sir John Temple. He was
n student, he said, and was about to
leave the country on continental tour.
About the writing on the glass he de-

are English boys, and that you could
do no less than stand the maiden in her
peril"
The governor was as good as his
word and kept them all in his castle
not as prisoners, but as guests-untll
their ship came and carried them safe
ly away.
Of course there can be only one
sequel to such scene, either in fact or
fiction. William Temple must fall des-
perately in love with Dorothy Osborne
for her beauty and her bravery. That
was precisely what happened, and
Dorothy returned his love. But Doro-
thy Osborne was too beautiful and &C
complished girl not to have many
other admirers. In short time Oliver
Cromwell became the chief magistrate
of England, and his son, Henry Crom-
well, also fell in love with Dorothy.
Nothing was too much trouble. for
Henry Cromwell to do for Dorothy Os-
borne. She was fond of large dogs, as
some pretty girls of our own time are,
and young Cromwell had orders sent
to his fathers officers in Ireland to pro-
cure for her the finest greyhound to be
found in that kingdom.
Temple was an unknown young
man, and Cromwell was the son of the
lord protector, and Dorothy's family
frowned upon Temple, and gave every
encouragement to Cromwell. But
Dorothy was true to her love. One of
her brothers Get us be sure it was not
brother George) demonstrated with
her, and she wrote to Temple: eve
talked ourselves weary; he renowned
me, and .defied him" After an III
terval of two centuries and a half
every American boy and girl will say
that Dorothy Osborne was full of pure
grit.
Both were very young, and the
courtship lasted for seven years before
they were married. Twenty years
later young Cromwell was forgotten,
and Sir William Temple was one of the
greatest men and Lady Dorothy
Temple one of the greatest ladies in
England. He held SO many important
public office. that mere list of them is
too long to print. Twice he refused to
be made secretary of state. He and
Dorothy lived happily together for
many years, and at length they were
laid side by side in Westminster
Abbey, where they still lie. Dorothy
died in 1904, and Sir William Temple
in 1899. Perhaps we should call her
Lady Temple, but who can think
of her standing before the parlimen-
tary governor. shouting: God save the
l1ingl" and call her anything but
Dorothy?
The basis Of this true story may be
found in Lord Macaulay's essay on

FATALIsM IN RUSSIA.
Perhaps 1t Is No Wonder That Peasants
Suffer from Famine and Plague.

ferhaps 1t Is No Wonder That Peasants
Suffer from Famine and Plague.
The Russian peasant is like child,
ignorant of the practical bearings of
events, and utterly unable to cope with
them. Yet he never loses his faith in
God During the famine, when the
peasantry were living, or rather dying,
on bread made of pigweed, chaff and
other equally nutritious and more moi
some articles, they endured in subnis-
sion. Goods viii is at the bottom of it, !"
said they. "He gave and He takes away"
A writer in Temple Bar gives the fol-
lowing illustration of their fatalism,
and the excuses they invariably find for
inaction:
One day, Russian village official
was riding with me in search of some
strayed horses. The black soil was like
dust, and he sighed heavily as his mare
sank in the light stuff.
"Ah," he said, what land is this? It
is like woman broken with sorrow.
How can she find food for her child?''
HAS it been so all summer" asked.
''Not SO, indeed. There was frost in
the spring, and men said frost and fair
weather But then came the dryness,
and though mass was said in the fields,
it went to nothing. And then we dug
up the drunkards-"
THE what?''
''The drunkards, your honor. Often
1t is that when the drunkards are
pulled out of their graves, and flung
into pools of water, that rain will come;
we know not why. But not only rain
came, but hail and fierce storms and
fire, and withered the little that was
grown. Then after that, dryness again,
and now" he shrugged his shoulders,
1.-The famine"
Must there be famine?" I asked.
Surely" he said, with smile, ''the
grain we have is soon eaten, and then
what?"
"Will no provision be made for the
future?"
''Who should make provision? Now
we can buy much and eat much; after
wards, well, the little father will not
see us die!''
So depending on the car and public
charity, they rest content in making no
provision for the future.
