Narrative OF Singular Experience of

Lord and Lady Dunraven.
Apropos OF the report that the Bre-
WORT house was to be closed up there

known to tell about the famous old inn.

the facts i'm the tale simply for what
they were worth. IL was more than one
decade ago, years before the VallSyrie

was first interested i'm the mining
regions OF northern Michigan. lie and
Lady Dunraven were staying in New
York for a few days before starting
west and had taken rooms at the Bre-
Voort-pleasan' rooms-with view of
the avenue and nice glimpse of Wash
lngton square. The first night being
tired with their voyage, they went
early to bed, as II happened, not so
early to sleep Both the earl and
countess were blessed with hearty Eng
lish constitutions. They were not at
all accustomed to lying awake till the
small hours. They wondered what they
could have done, what they could have
eaten or drank to aflict them with
such gratuitous vigilance. Just at a
venture, finally. they bundled them
selves out into an adjoining parlor,
made themselves extempore couches
there, and slept soundly till morning.
Next night and the night after there
was the same wakefulness and ia the
end the same migration to the adjoin-
ing room for relief They began TO
