FORGOT HER MAIDEN NAME.

A Curious Exhibition Of Absent Minded
ness Shown in tho Surrogate's Onlce.
Inability to remember names is
failing common to a great many people
There are varying degrees of the mala-
dy, of course, but nearly every one has
had the experience OF going to call
upon one of his most intimate friends,
and suddenly, as he ascended the steps
and was about to ring the bell, finding
himself utterly unable to recall the
name OF the person he was to ask for
This performance, however, has been
completely distanced by the feat of Mrs
s., who lives uptown and now holds
the palsn among her acquaintanccs for
this sort of Observation-Disclosures.
On the occasion of the death of a dis
tant relative recently, she was obliged
to go down to the surrogatc's court to
attend to some business regarding the
will. In the course of the proceedings
it became necessary for her to sign her
maiden name to the document in ques-
tion. The clerk handed her the pen,
told her where the signature was to he
affixed, and stood waiting for to com
ply But Mrs S. seemed stunned
at the request. She stared blanLly at
the young man before her, and then at
the paper, but made no motion toward
writing, and said net word.
Just sign your maiden name, you
know" repeated the clerk, thinking
she had in some way misunderstood.
Mrs. s. knew only too well what
he had said, but was no more able to
execute the task than the young man
himself would have been. She has
been married twice, and 1t is long
time since she has had occasion to use
the name to which she was born.
"I-I-really don't remember it," she
gasped In an agony of embarrassment
to the astonished clerk; II shall have
to go home and find out" and she dis
appeared through the door with all the
haste at her command.
In telling the story aftcrward she
said she paced up and down the street
in front of that Office for at least ten
minutes, cudgeling her brain in vain
effort to recall the lost name, and was
finally obliged to go home, as she had
proposed, and look it up in an old book
which had belonged to her when girl.

CHAPTER VIIL-CoNTINUED
'How can we save ourselves by
crouching here like rats in wall?" I
asked of Molas. Doubtless the secret
of the hiding place is known to those
who live in the house, and they will
drag us out and butcher u.s."
"The woman Luisa says that it is
known to none except herself, lord, for
she declares that not two months ago she
discovered it for the first time by the
accident OF the broom with which she
was sweeping the floor striking against
the springs OF the panel. And now let
us come out for while, for it is not yet
eleven o'clock, and she says that there
: will be no danger till after midnight" >"
Has she any plan for our escape?' 1
asked.
"She has q plan, though she is doubt
full of it's success. When the murderers
have been and found us gone they will
think either that we are wizards or
that we have made our way out Of the
house, and will search no more till
dawn. Meanwhile, if she can, Luisa
will return and, entering the chamber
by the secret entrance, will lead us to
the chapel, whence she thinks that we
may fly to the forest"
Where is this secret entrance,
Molas?"
II do not know, lord; she had no time
to tell me, but the murdcrers will come
by it. She did tell me, however, that
she believes that man and woman
are imprisoned near the chapel, though
she knows nothing of them and never
visits the place, because the Indians be-
lieve it to be haunted. Doubtless these
two are Zibalbay and his daughter, so
that II you live to come so far you may
find them there and speak with them"
Some minutes before midnight we
extinguished the light, and, creeping
one by one through the hole In the pan
cling, closed 1t behind us and took our
stand in the little dungeon. Here the
darkness was awful, aud as the warmth
OF the wine we had Trunk passed from
our veins our fears gathered thick upon
us and oppressed our souls.
Finally the senior touched me.
"Hark!" he whispered into my car, II

CHAPTER TX.
THE DUEL.

Now we placed our ears against the
panelling and listened First we heard
creaks that were loud I'M the stiffness,
then soft heavy noises such as are made
by a cat when it jumps from u height to
the ground, and gentle rubbing as of
stocl,inged feet upon the floor. After
this for some seconds there was silence
that presently was broken by the click
OF steel and the sound of heavy blows
delivered upon some soft substance
with swords and knives. The murderers
were driving their weapons through
the bedclothes, thinking that we slept
beneath them. Next came whiSoerings
and muttered oaths, then voice, Don
.JoSes, said:
Be careful, the beds are empty"
Another instant candles were lit, for
their light reached us through small
peepholes in the panel, and by putting
our eyes to these we could see all that
passed in the room. There before us
was Don Jose, Don Smith, and four of
their companions, all armed with knives
or machetes, while framed, as it were
in the wall, in the place that had been
occupied by the picture of the abbot,
stood our host, Don Pedro, holding a
candle above his head, and glaring with
his fish-like eyes into every corner of
the room.
"Where are theyp" he said. ''Where
are the wizards? Find them quick and
kill them"
Now the men ran to and fro about the
room, dragging aside the bedsand star
ing at the pictures on the walls as
though they expected to see us there.
They are gone" said Jose at length.
"That Indian, Ignatio, has conjured
them away. He is demonio and not q
man. thought 1t from the first
impossible" cried Dom Pedro, who
was white with rage and fear "The
door has been watched ever since they
entered it, and no living thing could
force those bars Search, search; they
must be hidden"
SEARCH yourself" answered Don
Smith sullenly, they're not here. Per
haps they discovered the trick Of the
picture and escaped down the passage
to the chapel"

"A1Id Robin Gray"

Lady Anne Barnard wrote "Auld
Robin Gray when she was 81. 1t was
published anonymously in 1916. and
various persons claimed the authorship.
Lady Anne did not acknowledge it was
her own until two years before her death.
when she wrote to Sir Walter Scott and
oonfided the history of tho ballad to
him. 1t appears that the gifted lady was
induced to write the song by q desire to
see an old Scottish air, 1.-THE Bridegroom
Graf When the Sun Gaed DOOM" fitted
aldry which, for want Of better, had
been sung to it. The name Of ''Auld
Robin Gray" was taken from an ancient
herd Of Balcarres. Lady Anne was q
daughter Of James Lindsay, fifth earl
Of Balcarres. She married Andrew Bar
nard, son Of Thomas, bishop Of LINER
lex, and they went out to the Cape,
where he died in 1907. Lady Anne re-
turned to London and lived with her Sis
ter in Berkeley square until 1912. The
sisters house was a literary center and
was frequented by Burke, Sheridan,
Windham, Douglas and the Prince Of
Wales, who were all habitual visitors.
Lady Anne won the lifelong attach
ment Of the prince regent. She died in
1895, in her seventy-fourth year. No
q has ever questioned Lady Anne
Barnard's claim to the authorship Of
the words Of "Auld Robin Gray" and.
though I am not going to cast doubt
upon the word Of the writer at this late
day, 1t 10 necessary to mention that
