in troubling himself so much about us
and our concerns"
Lady Howard spoke feelingly. No
body could have ever taken the reins
of government more unwillingly into
her own hands than her ladyship had
done upon the death of her husband
three years before, when she had been
left a rich but somewhat helpless
widow, with a large estate and three
growing children. In the years of her
married life everything had devolved
upon Sir Wilfred; and, though, as time
wore on, she became mo- accustomed
to her sense of perfect independence,
and had actually consented to an addi-
tional care in the shape of the guard
ianship of her niece, her brothers
child, she was still only too thankful
If any one would relieve her little Of
the weight of the responsibilities which
hung so heavily upon her shoulders.
Consequently Gilbert Falkland,
whom they had CHANGED to meet upon
the continent for the first time only
a month before, but who had intro
duced himself as one of the late Sir
Wilfred's oldest friends, had found his
attentions thoroughly acceptable to the
widow; and, as it happened that he
had been going by the same route as
Lady Howard and her niece, he had
constituted himself courier and guide,
and had taken upon his own shoulders
all the troubles and worries insepa-
rable from continental travelling.
At home in England once more, for
tune had thrown Mr.. Falkland across
their path again, and Lady Howard
was only too pleased If he would still
do anything for her, even IL 1t were
merely to arrange a drive or decide
which of the pieces at the theaters was
really worth seeing.
But Evelyn scarcely heard the sigh
of contentment which had followed
Mr.. Falkland's departure. Her thoughts
wero running N quite another direc-
ton; for, in spite of the nonchalance
with which she had laughed away Gill

his words had carried more weight
than he had had the satisfaction of
imagining.
At the time it had never struck her
as peculiar that a man who was an
absolute stranger to her should have
been able to single out from the num-
Der of letters one in particular for her,
thus showing that he knew her address
perfectly. 1t puzzled her though, con-
siderably now, especially as the idea
flashed through her mind, as it had
done before even as she stood in the
hall that that letter was not lying
among the others when she had first
looked over the table. 1t had seemed
a trifing matter at the time; she
would never have troubled to think
anything more about it il Mr.. Falkland
had not declared that this man must
have known something of her name
and had taken the earliest opportunity
Of trying to make her acquaintance.
But now, since he had told her what
really villainous characters were con-
stantly to be found at such quiet sea-
side hotels as the Royal George" she
began to realize that, II this Mr..
Brown were one of the number. he
would be capable of anything, and,
seeing her coming, had probably hid
den her letter in order to obtain the
necessary excuse for addressing her.
well, at any rate, he shall not
speak to me again" mentally resolved
Miss Luttrell as she stirred her coffee
and buttered a piece of toast. Mr.
Brown of London is mistaken If he
imagines that Aunt Lydia and I are
two helpless individuals whom he can
take in and impose upon as he likes.

why Purple became the Imperial Color

why Purple became the Imperial Color
Purple became the imperial color be-
cause of its enormous cost and rarity
The only purple known to the ancients
was the Tyrian purple, which was OBJ
tanned in minute quantities only from
a Mediterranean species Of shell fish,
called the murex. In the time OF Cice-
TO, wool, double dyed with this color,
was so excessively dear that a single
pound weight cost thousand denarii,
or about thirty-five pounds sterling. A
single murex only yielded little drop
of the secretion, consequently very
large numbers had to be taken in order
to obtain enough to dye even a very
small amount of wool. Amongst more
than one OF the nations OF antiquity it
was death for any person but the SOW
ereign or supreme judges to wear gar
ments dyed with Tyrian purple. Upon
the accession OF julius Caesar a law
was passed forbidding any private per-
son TO wear It.

that the case may be carried still
