The CLAIMS MYsTERY.-Un-
pleasant is the tradition attaching
to the Glam mis- estates. They FIRST
came into the hands OF the Lyon
family in 1873, and from the mo-
ment that they brought thither
their lion cup, misfortune and
tragedy pursued them. In the
seventeenth century, the earldom,
first Of kingh orne, afterwards OF
Strathmore also, was conferred on
the ruler OF Glamis. There is a
secret room at the castle, the en-
trance to which is closed by ma
sonrY, and opened by stone
mason only when the heir IS ofage,
On attaining his majority, the
eldest son, Lord Glamis, is con-
Quoted by his lather, Lord Strath.
more, to this chamber, where some
secret IS revealed to him, known
only to these two and to the stew
ard, which be in turn guards invi-
olate, until his heir comes Of age
in his turn There are many ori.
gins attrib uted to this secret, one
OF which is that a certain wild Earl
played cards on a Sabbath day in
this room with a stranger for his
soul, and lost 1t, paying his debt
five years afterwards. There is a
belief also that a certain Lady
a supposed witch, lives to
this day IN the embodied form OF a
iend who was her familiar, and is
in this hidden roOr. It's also said
that from time, to time, owing to a
curse, the heir to Glamis is born in
the shape Of a vampire or some
dread monster, and that, being un-
able to destroy 10, the family are
obliged to keep it hidden until its
term Of life has run. The fact re.
mains that though many OF the
heirs have laughed the idea OF this
mystery TO s-orn beforehand, and
have made promises Of revelation,
they have all refused 20 carry them
out after the iatelul day, and have
simply stated the fulflment OF |
heir promise was absolutely i'm. |
possible. - County GcHkLgWaN.

A TURTLE AS A WATCH. DOG
Stray turtles measuring four or
FIVE feet in length do not often
wander uumolested through the
streets Of a thickly populated city
But not loog ago a well known
family in Honolulu, Hawaiian Isl
ands, received a visitor OF this
kind. Nobody knows where the
great beast came from; he simply
appeared one day at the garde n
gate, and, lorcing an entrance,
proceeded TO make himself at
home on the premises. He was
promptly expelled by the aston
ished family, to wander once more
on the city s.reets-ior they did
not know what else to Go with him.
The turtle had different ideas, how
ever. He had found a comfortable
home and meant to stay in it; he
had very likely led a life of hard
ship, and intended to emo his days
IN peace and security, so ne re-
turned, but was again turned out
upon the cruel world. The turtle
had a Wrll Of his own and was de-
termined to live in that particular
spot, o he craWled in again the
next time the door was open. The
family gave up in despair and al
lowed the uninVited guest to re-
main a few days before they turned
him out again. But he returned
once more. This performance was
repeated a number Of times; If
they sh lt the gate on him he would
rear up on his hind legs and put
his fore feet on The top like a great
dog. 1t was necessary to accept
the inevitable. The people to
whom he wished TO attach himself
BEGAN 60 feel a certain superstition,
ami allowed him to take possession
of the garden which he had so
long coveted as his abode. There
he crawls about IN the daytime
and sleeps at night, and IS given
his three good meals day OF bran
and water and scraps from the
table, He is a perfectly harmless
old fellow, and the children have
great sport with him, two or three
at a time riding on bis back. It
is only dangerous to place a hand
on the side OF his neck, for as he
contracts his neck quickly within
his shell it is likely to be drawn in
and injured. But his funniest
characteristic developed alter he
had been fairly accepted into the
family circle: in return for the
kindness lavished upon him he
took upon himself the functions OF
a watchdog, The poor beast is
not able to bark, but when a
stranger enters the gate he gives
forth such loud and formidable
Kisses as to irighten the most cour-
age ous until they discover that his
hiss is worse than his bite, 1t is
estimated that this great turtle is
very old. While not Of a rare
species, he has grown to an unu-
sual size. His neck is beginning
to shrivel and take upon itself the
drawn look OF extreme age. 1t is |
thought by some that he is the |
famous turtle that belonged to /
kamehameha l, He was the |
greatest conqueror and King OF |
the Hawaiian Island, and lived |
over a hundred years ago, The |
animal remained for generations |
in the custody Of the royal family, |
and last belonged to the Queen !
DOwager, kapiolani, who died on |
June "A. Some time before the
Queens death, the turtle dlsap
peared, But whether this queer
old beast, with its almost human
intelligence, has such a romantic
or not, it is today one OF
the most interesting sights OF
Honolulu, though few visitors
know Of its existence.
