Rather n Delicate Subject.

Plagiarism is rather a delicate sub
iect, and the general public has V
settled il quite satisfactorily. 1t Is
true. on the one hand. hat several
great artists, Shakespeare among them,
have deliberately taken plots and ideas
from older writer's, and 1t must be ad-
mitted, on the other hand, hat some
mediocre persons seek to win fame by
the doubtful means Of repeating other
peoples's sayings as their own. Gen.
orally speaking, If a nan a take an
idea which has already been used and
do a great deal more with 1t than the
former owner did, the public will be
satisfied.
1t is manifestly impossible for any
writer to be absolutely original. HUI
man nature itself Is not. 1t has been
repeating itself since there was a hui
man being or earth. The same old dra-
matte situations present themselves
now as were common in the days Of
Noah. A writer may appear to plagi-
arize when he has merely hit, uncon-
~sciously, on a situation used by some
body else.
The cry Of plagiarism is, generally
speaking, the fayorite creation Of
cheap minds-of people who are xix
ious to display their knowledge Of lit
erature by ~parading some passage in
h classics as the original Of one in a
later publication.-Chicago Journal.

1t has been fairly well proved that
the Roman London lies buried about
eighteen feet below the level of Cheap

led the earlier London OF the Britons.
In nearly all parts OF the city there
have been discovered tesselated pave
ments, Roman tombs, lamps, vases,
sandals, keys, ornaments, weapons,
coins and statues. When deep cuts
were made for the sewers in Lombard
street the lowest stratum was found to
consist OF pavements, and m~any-colored
dice were lying scattered about. Above
that was a thick layer Of wood ashes
and the debris of wooden buildings. In
building the exchange the workmen
came upon a gravel pit full of oyster
shells, cattle, bones, old sandals and
shattered pottery. Two pavement

He called himself my uncle, but he has

and 1t is to his early training that l

IT know nothing whatever of his mo-
tives or fears, and I have V ever
limited at them: but that he is under

out with 1t so suddenly I was taken
aback, for / thought that If o knew
who I was, you might know Mr.. a
ers' secret; in short. h a you might be
connected in some way with the very
enemies of whom he has, at times,
spoken vaguely to me. You are too
young to have been an active enemy OF
his when he was so nearly killed. Give
me your word of honor that you know
no one who would hur a hair OF his
head, and I will believe you"
"As true as Heavens above" I said.
II know nothing whatever of any man
who could possibly be an enemy to Mr..
Travers."
eff you are lying to me, God forgive
YOU, I sha'n't!" he broke out, In spite or
his assurance; and then, suddenly
changing his tone, he went on: But,
there, l a trust you. You haven't
the face or the OF a liar, n
you've had your troubles. I've watched
you, Tremayne, more closely than you
imagine, and you wouldn't have got
such a sober look and been so thought
full at your age unless you a had
some bitter experiences; and IL ever
want advice, go to Mr.. Travers and ask
him to help you"
His tone was so sympathetic and
friendly tina I had to put the utmost
restraint upon myself, and to think OF
my fathers " ords, to prevent mt from
disclosing the course Of events that had
eliminated in my coming I o Kendall;
but I got the better of the inclination,
and merely said:
Yes. you are right: I have had my
share of trouble, and If l want help I
shall certainly go to Mr.. Travers:' and
then, having solemnly agreed hat no
further reference should be made TO the
grave subject we had been discussing,
we set our faces homeward, and
reached Kendall late at night.

CHAPTER II.
Startling Discoveries.

In due course I reached Kendall and
Mr.. Travers' house. and I found hat

bed room, with a natty dressing room

drawers (who had just come in) and
three pupils, as / supposed them to be
i-young fellows of about my own age.
The master Of the house was of me-
,fdium height, and had a handsome face,
tAlbeit "sicklied DER with the pale cast
of thought" and in his eyes, which
lwere large and lustrous when he was
animated, there was in repose that

CHAPTER L. CContInued.)


There was NO doubt in my mind that
the outrage at Oldburg was connected
in some way or other with the tragedy
that had occurred in our house, Ii
was evident, from the fact of his hav-
ing preserved the newspa per accounts.
that my father could throw some light
on the seaside affair. Could he be the
man who had been wounded? Posi-
bly,, since he was OF medium height,
had lark hair and spoke somewhat
slowly; and IL the date of the ex-
tracts from the papers were some-
where near thai of his taking me
away. the probability would be In
creased. and / determined that my
first step should be to discover, IL pos
sible, from what newspapers the
pieces were cut. and the date of the is
sue of the copy.
But even IL I identified my father as
this man, would my position be any
better? And, as the idea OF identified
tion passed through my mind, / saw at
once an easy way to find out when the
papers were printed. I could go to
Oldburgh and make the inquiries on
the spot. II Mr.. Byrne were alive and
still at the same farm. the matter
could be cleared up in a twinkling; and
IL he were dead. or II he had left the
n~eighborhood, there must stin be many
people in such a small place who would
remember so startling an event.
TIC be sure, my father had laid strict
injunctions upon me that / was not to
try to find him, but he had said moth
ing about my looking for his enemy;
and though my chances were slender,
indeed, that I. unaided. should ever get
TO the bottom of the matter, / felt that
I should have some definite starting
point when I had made my investiga-
lions at Oldburgh. And had not my
orders TO make no delay in getting TO
Kendall been so distinct. I should have
left the train at the next station n
made my way across the country to
the little seaside town.
Judging to the allusion in the letter
TO my being prepared for the Universe
ty by Mr.. Travers, / was OF opinion
that he was a tutor; and II so, there
would be vacations at various times,
and / could spend a holiday at the
east coast, and no one would be the
wiser as to my motives for so doing.
Through all my musings and makings
of plans IL never for one moment oc-
Cured to me that my father had done
anything unbecoming a gentleman. l
had lived with him in the closest inti-
macy; / had seen him associated with
all sorts and conditions Of men; but,
let his companions be who they might,
high or low, rich or poor. there was
never a man of them but what treateo
him with the greatest respect.
He was brave, ~chivalrous and gener-
II and yet, mystery Of mysteries, l
had seen him shaken with terror, n

knew he loved. tast when most need

enough then to discriminate between
the fear that will not allow a man TO
face his foe in the open or to attempt
some hazardous feat, and the terror
! that is inspired by a danger ever
threatening, and which may strike AT
its victim in some unexpected mo-
ment, like a bolt from the blue.
