What Might Have Happened.

"Sir Harry Vane Sir Harry Vane!
The Lord deliver me from Sir Harry
yane !" said Cromwell as the soldiers
of Captain Pride turned out Parlia-
ment. Sir Harry was speaker then,
but be was governor of Maasachu-
setts before that, and in the old Bay
state his name is still remembered
and respected. Sir Harry's headless
ghost is said still to haunt the gardens
Of his Kentish home of Fairlawn. Lady
Vane, wife of Sir Harry's descendant,
believes that she has heard the foot
falls of the Massachusetts ex-governor
sounding atmidnight alongthe tagged
walk. Lady, Vaue the other day wrote
for an English periodical an article on
Sir Henry. Strange as it may appear,
the name of Sir Harry Eane had al
most been forgotten by Englishmen
until last summer, when the under
standing between Great Britain and
the United States revived his memory.
An editorial preface to Lady Vane's
article says:
"The year that has opened sees a
strenthening of the bonds between
this country and America. If Sir Henry
.yane had not been recalled. from the
goyernorship of Massachusetts, Amer
lea might still have been ours; but
that was not to be, aud London turned
out to see him beheaded June IL, 1852
on Tower Hill, as many gallant gen.
tleman had been before him. New

Musk Oxen irOuebcc.

The reported discovery of musk on
ell in the province of Quebec has Gre
ated much interest among sportsmen.
The discovery has been brought te
the notice of the provincial govern.
ment by its chief explorer and natural
ist, Count Henri de Puyjalon, who is
officially attached to the fish and game
department of the province. The habi-
tat of this magnificent American game
was popularity supposed to be limited
to the great northwest and northeast
territories of the Dominion of Cauada,
and to be far removed from the limits
of the province of Quebec. The north
ern boundary of the province has re-
Gently been extended to the East Maine
river, so that the province now in
cludes not only the whole OF the great
Lake Mistassini country, but also a
good part of the southeasterly coast
line of James bay. 1t is within the
limits of this new territory that the
count, who is q noted hunter and ex-
plorer, reports the occasional exist
ence of the musk OK.
The Quebec specimens of this large
game are not the finest of their species
so far as their skins are concerned,
but possess splendid heads and horns.

-.a.p:,uy extern. Tnlrty-tive brigands
were killed last year in fights with
the police aud troops and 1874 brigands
were captured. Prince Galitzin sent
last year to the districts where these
outlaws are most numerous the picked
marksmen organized in every regi-
ment for shooting practice in hunt
ing big game. He has banished to
the internal parts of the empire hum
dreds of the accomplices of the bri-
gands who tried to protect the out
laws. The Russian peasants have
been authorized to buy riffs with
which to defend themselves, and when
caught the outlaws are dealt with in
the most summary manner by mill
tary law.
The governor eneral gives very
bad character to the rural police who,
he says, are incompetent and corrupt,
and frequently participate i'll the pro-
lection and crimes of the brigands. In
one district, he says, the police agreed
not to modest the brigands within cer-
tain limits, the latter promisinsethat
the would not rob the mails or trav-
cling officials, but would be satisfi ed
with stealing cattle. At present the
authorities are making things rather
warm for the outlaws, who, however,
are by no means yet subdued.

Oh, of course, they were husband
and wife.
But this was Lydia's original way
of bringing them together. She wrote
Mason q note something like the fol-
lowing:
''Dear Mr.. Mason, be so kind as to
spare one hour from your real estate
transactions tomorrow and lunch
with me. It will be three-cornered
parity Ny other guest is friend of
mine who Is dying to see you, and L
insist upon your coming, even if you
have to break another engagement. F"
She took good care that Mason
should not get her note until the
morning of the day she wanted him.
Nevertheless, I believe he suspected
the truth and was terribly frightened.
But he came, and at the close of the
lunch there was little scene-a most
interesting one. Bobby, who was not
afraid to help himself freely, now, was
the only spectator.
"And were they divorced?" I asked
Lydia, when she consented to tell mo
more of the story.
''No," she said. "But they quar-
relied over some rubbish. He used to
practise as n physician, but when they
separated by mutual consent three
years ago it made talk in the town
where they lived. So he moved away
and took to real estate. Then she
saw the foolishness of It all and tried
TO make it up, and he was misled by
lies. that some divorce shark had told
him. His chief aim in life for more
than year had been to escape from
his own lawful wife and at the same
time escape divorce trial. Mason IS
one of those fool men who will go ten
miles out of the way to avoida scene,
as they call it. I had to bring him up
to time sharp"
"And did the Fehmgericht investi-
gate and dispose of all those-lies?" 1
asked in awe.
Lydia only smiled and said: "H'm. :"
