The coutortions of Hanna in the

itself down to the proposition that
there are no trusts. because the Sher-

prevent the existence of illegal trusts.
In other words, there are no trusts, be-

The priest in whose parish Inishkea
lay either had not known of this sur

one else knew of it, but when the
thing was made public he decided to
act. So he visited the island, took the
Ne-ogue and broke it up into tiny frag-
ments and scattered them to the four
winds. The priest was sacrosanct, but
the islanders vowed vengeance and an
unfortunate man of science who had
lived some time among them was
pitched upon as certainly the person
who had made the story public. This
man after some time returned to COM

HoNoRING HER SON.
The Mother of Robert Louis Steven
son at n Memorial Meeting in
Edinburgh.

Perhaps the first person to believe
in the genius of Robert Louis Stevenson
was his mother. She was devotedly at
tached to him throughout his life and
realized his value to the world long
before the world gave him hearing.
1t was her lot to live to mourn his
death, but she was comforted in her
trouble by the sympathy of two ma
tiOns.
Some time after his death a great
memorial meeting was held in Edin-
burgh. For his mother, says the author
of ''Stevenson's Edinburgh Days" it
was gala day. She started for Music
hall not too early, feeling sure of a
seat with a reserved ticket in her
hand. She had declined to sit on the
platform and preferred to be q simple
unit in the audiences.
The crowd was beyond expectations
Mrs. Stevenson arrived to find every
passage blocked and a surging mass az
the main entrance clamoring for ad
mittance.
She feared that she, with them,
would be turned away; but as a forlorp
hope she appealed to policeman.
Its nae use, it's fu'," he said; ''re
serve seats were ta'en an hour ago BY
folks that had nae tickets, and they
would ma gang out"
Il must get in" cried Mrs Steven
son, reused out Of her usual calm. Eve

liceman replied, and turning to tire
crowd he cried:
MAX way, there. She maun get in
She's Roabert Louis mither."
People who had thought themselves
packed too tightly to move, somehow
packed closer and let Mrs. Stevenson
squeeze past.
Breathless, hustled, and for once
with her mantle and bonnet little
awry, much against her will the crowd
pushed her to the platform. There
she FASTENED to take a back seat. and n
few minutes later she heard the orator
OF the day, Lord Rosebery. say with an
emphasis which the audience under
stood well: His mother is here. -

CALAMITY alongside, and just where Mr..
Prime could not but see and admire,
since Col. Armstrong would not look
at all. He had entered into an eXplana-
ton of the ceremony by that time well
under way, and Miss Lawrence's great
soft brown eyes were fixed upon him
attentively when, perhaps, she should
have been gazing at the maneuvers.
Like those latter, possibly, her thoughts
were changing direction.
Not ten minutes later occurred the
collision between the hack and the
heels that resulted in the demolition of
one and decentralization" of the rider
of the victor. While the latter was led
away by the Obedient Mr.. Ellis lest the
sight of him should bring on another
nervous attack, Mrs. Garrison was suf-
fering herself to be comforted. Her
nerves were gone, but she had not lost
her head. Lots of Preside danes and
damsels were up on the heights that
day in such vehicles as the post afford
ed. None appeared in anything so
stylish and elegant as the carriage of
the Prime party. She was new and
comparative stranger there. and it
would vastly enhance her social
prestige, she argued, to be seen in such
swell surroundings. With n little
tact and management she might even
arrange matters so that, willy nilly. her
friends would drive her thither instead
of taking Col. Armstrong back to
camp. That would be a stroke worth
playing, She owed Stanley Armstrong
bitter grudge. and had nursed it long.
She had known him ten years and hated
him nine of them. Where they met and

looked aged and carewoIn and

youthful bloom and vivacity.
And now, as she reclined as though
still too weak and shaken to leaye the

wits were planning the scheme that

No one who really analysed Mrs.
Frank Garrison's features could say
that she was a pretty woman. No one
who looked merely at the general effect
when she was out for conquest could
deny it. Col. Armstrong, placidly OBJ
servant as usual, was quick to note the
glances that shot between the cousins
on the rear seat as the little lady came
