The Narrative az y Singular Experiences 81
Lord aud Lady Dunraven.

Lord and Lady Dunraven-
Apropos Of a report that the Brevoort
House was tc be closed, which was de-
MED, however, there is a story that Lady
Dunraven has been known TO tell about
the famous old inn. The countess is de-
scribed by those who know her as wo-
man much more inclined 20 common
sense than 10 ghost haunted Cock lanes,
even with DIR. Johnson's authority. She
used to tell the facts in the tale simply
for what they were worth.
It was more than one decade ago,
years before the Valkyrie was thought
Of, when kord Dunrayen was first inter-
ested in the mining regions Of northern
Michigan. He and Lady Dnnraven were
staying in New York for few days be-
fore starting west and had taken rooms
at the Brevoort-pleasant rooms, with
a view of the avenue and a nice glimpse
of Washington square. The first night,
being tired with their voyage, they went
early to bed, but, as il happened, not SO
early to sleep. Both the earl and count
ess were blessed with hearty English
constitutions They were not at all ac-
customed to lying awake till the small
honors.
They wondered what they could hav
done, what they could have eaten or
drank to affiict them with such gratui-
tons vigilance. Just at venture finally
they bundled themselves ont into the
adjoining parlor, made themselves ex-
teInpore touches there and slept soundly
till morning. Next night and the night
after there was the same wa1efulness
and in the end the same migration to
the adjoining room for relief. They be-
gan to think they should have TO leave
town earlier than they had planned, foi
they would not for the world have made
any pretext TO shift chambers.
The explanation of the mystery, if it
was an explanation, came out by chance
They had a call before long from an old
time New Yorker whom they had met
in England, an authority on all matters
pertaining TO the towns minor history.
81 WONDER he remarked casually,
''that they should have given you these
rooms You know it was in that room
there, not so long ago, that a Mr.. x
hanged himself" 1t was in that room
that Lord and Lady Dunraven had tried
in vain to sleep, and they exchanged sig.
nifcant glances. OF course it was only
a coincidence, they said, but the next
day they took their departure for the
west. New York Tribune.

The Charactertsttc OF Savanfs Is Their IN

The best that we gain from the pur-
suit of research is, Professor G. S. Mi
not writes in The Popular Science
Monthly, our Characteristic optimism.
We are engaged in achieving results,
and results of the most permanent and
enduring quality. A business man may
achieve a fortune, but time will dissi-
pate it. A statesman may be the savior
of a nation, but how long do nations
live? Knowledge has no country, be.
longs to no class, but is the might OF
mankind, and it is mightier for what
each of. us has done. We have brought
onr stones, and they are built into the
edifice and into its grandeur. My stone
