about with his chin in the air. Earls
can always be recognized by the alti-

printed labels on their backs. telling
who they were. so that a stranger
would not be compelled to follow the
example Of Theodore Hook, who, meet
ing a Observation-Disclosures man on the
Strand. went up TO him and inquired
if he was anybody in particular. The
American plaintively said. when I re-
marked that the nobility might object
to being labeled, that il would merely
be Teverting to an old custom. which
had been allowed to fall into disuse.
In ancient times the swells carried
their labels on their shields, drawing
pictures thereon, because, as general
rule. they were not able TO write. Then,

the length and regularity of the line while

destroyed by vandalS and carried away.

miles in length. and was run between the
years 1852 and 1858 by the two English
engineers. Mason and Dixon. When the
line was originally laid stone monuments
were paced at intervals of FIVE miles as
far a. the Blue Ridge mountains. Beyond
this the line was marked simply by heaps

The services at the tabernacle yes

by President Angus NJ. Cannon. The
first speaker was Professor }. Il. Paul,
who pointed out by a lengthy discourse
how the doctrine of revelation believed
in BY the Latter-day Saints IS the Sc

Professor Paul was followed by Pres

further thoughts in line with those eN-
pressed by the one who preceded him.
President Cannon said the principle Of
revelation was truly the key note 20
the religion OF the Latter-day saints

things" President Cannon continued
"and they have wondered how 1t IS
that the people of the church are so
united in all things, but the Latter
dav Saints are an obeying people, and
while some of their acts may nave

the word conveyed to them from the

This brings me TO the conclusion Of the
episode / set out to relate, and all that
now remains for me to do IS TO marry of
every one of my characters after the
manner of accomplished story tellers, thus
avoiding the example set me by the
mOney-making registrar. The particulars
Of the GWendOlen saddle were printed in
most of the leading English newspapers
as reading matter but paid for as an
advertisement by the talented GillOOley.
and swallowed as real news by a gullible
public. who subscribed the capital of the
new company five times over. The in
formation was cabled to America, and in
the New York papers Lord de Benture
BarTybuSh read that Lady GwendOlen,
only daughter of the Earl Of StObcrOss,
had become possessed of $25OO,000 As his
lOrdShIp was at that moment IN negOtIa-
ton with a stock broker, VINO would only
give Sl,OC0.0O0 with his girl, and that
largely conditional on the success of the
wheat corner. Lord de Benture immedi-
ately sailed for home, and told GWeudolon
that he had been in America merely 10
learn the best route to KiOndike, which
was quite true. He found what he
sought by marrying GWendOlen at the
parish church John \. Biggs ultimately
welded the grOcer'S daughter, Hannah
SprOwle. after the great saddle company
had gone into liquidation. The stubborn
old Earl of StObcrOsS, who had been
widoweT for twenty years. refuses to
allow me to unite him 10 any one and
says he doesn't care a hang whether my
story Is unpopular or not on that account
Old Peter was married already. as he
found out to his cost after the episode I
have related when his irate wife nearly
broke his head for being such fool as to
interfere in business that did not concern
him, and thus offend Lady Gwendolen
and lose all chance Of getting a share Of
her money.
