Capt. Gridley's Monument.

The memory of Capt. Charles E. Grid
ley, Who died shortly after the battle
of Manila, in which he commanded the
Olympia, will be fittingly preserved by
the city of Erie, Pa, i'll which his ashes
lie. On an eminence along the shore of
Lake Eric, where it can be seen for
miles by land and water, a beautiful
monument is to be erected and sur
rounded by drives. The design for the
monument has been approved by the
Gridley family, and the committee in
charge of the work The design shows
n shaft which will rise seventy feet from
the ground. 1t will be constructed of
granite and is TO be finished with a ped
estal Of handsome proportions. On the
front will appear the arms of the United
States surmounted by a sheaf of board
ing pixies, flages and sabcrs, all domi-
mated by an eagle in bronze. Directly
below will he a bronze medallion of Capt.
Gridley with a sword on either side. On
the opposite side of the base from the
coat of arms 1t is proposed to place
representation of the Olympia. On an
other side will be presented the scene
of the battle of Manila bay, while ar
other suitable design will be on the
fourth side. The famous words of Adj

have passed into motto, You may fire

FACT AND FICTION.
Groundwork for Novels by Walter
sCott aud Charles RcaHe

Groundwork for Novels by Walter
.cott and Charles Reade.
In the southern end of Columbia near
the river, is Il rolling-mill office, which
to those who know it recalls a romantic
story closely identified with the writ
ings of several English novelists. That
office was once the home of Robert Bar
Der, high sheriff of Lancaster County,
about 114O, and in n log jail which Rob
ert built near his house was confined
for time James Annesley, subsequent
ly prominent character III England
as claimant of the earldom of Angle
sey.
The story of James Annesleys adven-
lures and prosecutions forms the
groundwork of Charles Reade's we'll
known novel, The Wandering Heir"
and is also incorporated into portions
of SCOTS Guy Mannering," Smollett's
"Peregrine Pickle and a once popular
novel, Florence Mccarthy"
Annesley was a son of Lord Altman
grandson of the first Earl of Angle
sey. After his fathers death in 1927,
his fathers brother kidnapped the
nephew and had him sold as an inden-
tured servant in Philadelphia, through
which action the uncle afterward was
enabled to become the Earl of Angle
Sey. The lads service was bought by
Lancaster County farmer, whose
daughter fell in love with the servant,
as did also young Indian girl. These
embarraSSments caused Annesley to
run away, but he was caught and kept
in Jail at Columbia until returned to
his master.
He was recognized as the heir to the
Anglesey title by two IriShmen, who
happened to visit his masters farm
and they became so much interested in
his story that they offered to 90 back
with him to help prove his rghtful in
heritance There was n big sensation
in London on his return. His uncle
contested the charges against him by
assertions that Annesley was not really
the son of his brother, bat Annesleys
cause was justified by the courts.
though he never had money enough to
prosecute it TO the end and gain the
title and estates. His uncle remained
in possession. and there We're several
bloody quarrels between them and
their followers.-RaltimOre Sun.

CHAPTER III,-(Continued.)

There was dead silence in the room.
Martin Ray grew pale. The girls looked
startled and surprised. The silence was
painful.

He turned his head away, too proud at
that moment to let the expression of his
face be seen.
and l." said Gen. Hatton, looking at
each of his nieces, leave it to you also.
Ny dead sisters children, do as you will;
but do not forget your mothers words.
With q cry the girls clasped their arms
around each other. In that moment they
felt quite alone in the world. How We're
they to make such a choice? To LEANS
mind required the memory of her fervent
prayers for some one who would deliver
her from her furnace of FIRE" She look
ed into the blue eyes Of her sister.
1T is what / prayed for she whis-
pered.
Then slowly, as the waters of a great
sea divide, the two girls separated, sadly,
mournfully, looking back with lingering
regret, yet never faltering; and Leah, the
child whom Martin Ray had loved, of
whom he had been so unutterably proud,
successor, beautiful, dark-eyed Leah,
went to her uncle and laid her hand upon
his.
Il prayed to heaven for deliverance,"
she said, land you have brought it. l ac-
cept your Offer
With a bitter cry Martin Ray turned
TO her. There was dignity in the sorrow
of his voice and face.
Loving arms were placed around his
neck; a loving, beautiful face was laid
against his.
Il will never leave you, father" said
Hettie. Il will give my life to you"
SO for some minutes they stood-thc
general with his arm thrown round Leah,
as though from that moment he would
shield her from all harm and from every
one; Hettie clasping her fathers neck,
her face wet with tears.
Il accept your offer, uncle" said Leah,
in a calm, clear voice; land | shall al
ways believe that heaven sent you to
me-"
Il will never leave you, father.' cried
Hettie. My love shall make up to you
for the loss of Leah's.'

PEARLS BECOMING PRICELESS.
As They Increase in Popularity Their
Value Grows in Proportion.

Let every woman who possesses pearls,
large or small, prize them more than all
her treasures, for they are increasing III
value at an extraordinary rate. Every
day they are more sought after and be
come more fashionable, SC that III conSe-
quence they are becoming scarcer: Very
long chains composed entirely OF pearls
are most beautiful, but, of course, the
price is prohibitive to most people; they
should never be made CT imitation pearls,
as the effect is apt to be meretrlcious ana
vulgar.
Those who believe in the superstition
that pearls are significant of tears may,
perchance. have their fears corroborated
from the fact that the lovely but unfo|
tunate Empress Eugene twho, by the
way, put no faith then in the supersti-
tom wore superb necklace of pearls on
her wedding day. The satin of her gown
was made to exactly match the tone of
the necklace When the war of 1870 |
was over this necklace was sold with
many other of the crown jewels. The
pearls were scattered, for no bidder
would offer the 100000, the price of the
eight rows, so that the four necklaces of
two rows each were eventually disposed

that Sir Arthur had made this purchase

The dukes health having been quite
restored, the duchess had arranged that
the travelling party should return to Lon
don at once. 1t was then the very end
of April and the season had begun. A
drawing room had been held, at which
some fair young faces had been seen;
but she knew that none could have equal

The duke had grand old mansion
named Park View. The duke and Ouch

The next drawing room was held the
following Tuesday.
When, after 4 few days of anxious
preparation, Leah stood before Sir Ar
thur, dressed for the presentation, he
owned himself perfectly well pleased. The
duchess, whose taste was irreproachable,
had chosen her court dress; and the gen
eral had presented her with a suite of
diamonds-stones that shone and scintil-
