she, Mrs. Whitfield and Mrs.
Whitfield's son William walked
out one Sunday evening in June.
Before entering Hyde Park
let us saunter along Park Lane.
1t is gay with fashionably dress
ed people. AS we approach the
upper end we remember that
this was formerly Tyburn Lane,
and there at the northern end
was the "Tyburn Tree" around
which are clustered so many
sad memories, where men, good,
bad and Indifferent, were hus-
tied out of this life to the inter-
est of a cruel, jostling, vulgar
crowd. We should like to rest
in Hyde Park and enjoy a little
gayety with the occupants,
perhaps pass beyond into the
quiet of Kensington Gardens.
But we may stay for only one
canter over Rotten Row, and
must go at once to Buckingham
Palace.
There is said to be but one
palace uglier in the world, and
that is st. James. Here James
I. enjoyed his Mulberry Garden,
and, later, Dryden ate Mulber-
ry tarts. The palace has chang
ed its name several times-each
time for the better. We find
DR., Johnson frequenting it for
the sake of the valuable books
in the library. 1t is said King
George III. gave commands that
he should be informed when
Johnson visited the palace, as
he wished to surprise him. The
commands were obeyed, and one
day as Johnson sat reading
some one announced 1.-THE King
is present" DR.. johnson was
not at all embarrassed, and con.
descended to recommend the
Kings pleasant manner when
he left.
Leaving the palace, a street
bordered with a long row of
elms looks cool and inviting;
we enter without hesitation;
tits Bird Cage Walk, and takes
us to st. James Park. 1t is high
noon; the palace can be seen
through the grand old trees;
we are within a short distance
of our starting place, and you
may find your way home alone.

A Ramble In The Past.

London is crowded with his
tory. | have taken a small bit
of territory and dipped lightly
into it's past, just to show how
interest gathers at every turn.
We will start from Whitehall,
as it is near Westminster, and
we shall feel at home.
Going back to the days when
Cardinal Wolsey was enjoying
pomp and pride, we may array
ourselves in purple and fine lin
en- and join the gay life at
Whitehall, then called York
Palace. Later, with the Tudors,
let US attend banquet and ball.
Never was one place the scene
of greater festivity for a long
period.
The scene shifts, and we see
an anxious, excited throng
awaiting the execution of Char.
les l. There in front Of the
banqueting house is the We. y
spot where the scaffold stood.
Then followed days of sombre
quietness in the palace with the
Cromwell's, only to have fes-
tivities doubly reNewed with
the restoration.
Many were the plans for re.
building Whitehall, but none
were completed except the plan
for the baqueting house. This
building is the link between
past aud present. Since the
time of George l. it has been
used as a chapel and there di-
vine service is held every Sun
day.
Passing along the historic
street of Whitehall, where we
now find the Horse Guards,
government offices and other
important buildings, we reach
Chariug Gross, and memory
takes a backward look. Ed
ward l. is erecting crosses to
the memory Of Queen Eleanor,
Here stands one, and from it
the place derives it's name.
During the Reformation the
cross was destroyed and stat
ne of Charles l. took it's place
Before Tyburn became popular
as place of execution, Char
ing Cross was the scene of such
horrors.
About Charing Gross are many
small streets of Interest-Harts.
horn Lane, where Ben Jonson
passed the first few years of his
life, and st. Martins Court,
where he was sent to school,

time of Henry VII the castles

vi. ruled the number of man.
sions had Increased on the south
side. while a row of houses made
great pretensions on the north,
a few years later the Strand
becomes Il fashionable street
where the ladies drive.
AS we saunter along the
street to-day, northumberland
avenue attracts our attention,
and we recall the old palace
which stood here more than two
hundred and fifty years.
Continuing eastward, we pass
Somerset House, and think OF
the original palace, where lived
in turn the wives of James l.,
Charles l. and Charles ii. 1t
we enter the present building,
which is used for government
purposes, we may find on file in
the wills and probate office the
wills of Shakespeare. Newton
and DR.. Samuel Johnson.
A little farther down the
street-in imagination-we
dance around the May.pole,
perhaps in the company which
Samuel Pepys saw when on his
way to Westminster May l,
1861. Remember? He says, Il
met many milk maids with their
garlands on their pals dancing
with a fiddler before them, and
pretty Nellie Gwynne was
standing at her lodging door in
Drury Court in her smock
sleeves and bodice looking at
me-" He thought her mighty
pretty creature"
While at Drury Lane, let us
remember its past. 1t takes it's
name from the family of Dru-
ries, and is described by Pope
as a place of residence for
poor authors" AS for Drury
Lane theater we prefer it in
Shakespeare's day. Think of
it, with such names as Shakes
peare, Ben Jonson, Dryden and
Garrick making its past famous.
Returning to the Strand, we
hurry by the Royal Courts of
Justice as altogether too mod
ern for our purposes, merely re-
calling Butchers Row, which
was destroyed to give room for
them-Butchers' Row, which
suggests Kit Kat Club; and
where, in 1905, might have been
seen the conspirators of the
Gunpowder Plot. with heads
close together and fingers on
lips.
At Fleet street we speak of
Isaac Walton's near home, and
Mrs. Salmon's wonderful wax
work exhibition in 1895 at II
Fleet street-''it was a most
convenient place for the coach
es of quality to stand unmolest-
ed"
Passing the end of Chancery
Lane-a street devoted to law
yers, law and lawful things
we are at st. Dunstans-in-rhe-
West. AS we look at it we re-
member the old church which |
stood in the same place, had
the same name and possessed a
great fascination in the two
life sized figures of savages that |

and the third step was the block
or stake.
Fleet street is an especially
enlivening memory to us, as DR.
Samuel johnson lived in and
loved it. The most beautiful
park about London could not
equal it in his estimation; he
knew every building the entire
length of it-particularly the
taverns and coffee houses.
Along Ludsate Hill, a short
distance, is Old Bailey, through
which we will wander. We see
the black Newgate prison-the
scene of untold Indebtedness
for so many years Coming out
at Newgate we are near what
was Snow Hill. On the hill,
you emember, was the coach
house where Squeers took up
his abode when arranging for
new pupils. Not far from here,
past Holborn Circus. were Field
Lane and Saffron Hill, where
Bog told us to look for the pick
pockets.
Hasten our steps along Hol-
born. A little to the north is
Grays Inn. Here in the time of
Edw ard w. young gentlemen
were taught all the learning re
quired at court-including sing.
ing, dancing and music. Later
it b ad clustered about it much
of legal interest, and many H.
lus trious men have been it's
mem bers. Shakespeare's Com
edy of Errors" was performed
in the hall. and here Raleigh
came frequently to enjoy friend
ly converse with Bacon.
Let us'hurry through the once
fashionable quarters of Great
Gu cen street and Long Acre.
You see a few good old man
sions still. but must not stop
you are on your way to Coven-
try. Leigh Hunt tells US that
in his day Coventry did not
bear a good name--savoring too
much of the gaming.table.
Here we are in Haymarket.

brick and mortar caught sight
of the place. 1t was then

with trees on both. sides. Now
it bristles with clubs.
Many long years ago, when
fashion rejoiced in a huge ruff
at the neck, there lived near
here a man who catered to fash
ion by keeping for sale these
ruffs which were called pecka-
dis, or peccadillas. Articles
of such Importance were much
talked about, and in due time
the street was noted as the
place to obtain them-hence
the name Piccadilly.
Today the shops are enticing,
but the street has also an his.

I took issue with them and aired the
theories I had advanced to Mr.. Welter-
werter. showed them the writing on
the music sheet and ground out the tune
for them and wound up with suggesting
that this man, avowing himself to be the
one who had taken the valuables, pos
sessed accomplishments not usually the
requirements of the professional burglar.
These astute men resented my notions
treated them with infinite scorn, even
intimated that 1 had written the words
on the sheet to bolster up my position
and said that they were quite certain that

that the monograph record had been
made in her presence by q friendly critic
perhaps her instructor WeltweTte1
seemed to wabble to their side, perhaps
because the idea Of an educated musician

which I was treated made detective OF

Young Henry Hveeyr, Heir Wealth Engaged
Beautiful Young Society Belle He Out of School

OF all the young men at Yale who are
up to their eyes in work, none is looking
forward to the graduation exercises next
month with greater eagerness than
Henry o. Havemeyer Jr., one OF the
wealthiest of them all
Many eyes will follow him, and the
other members of the senior class as they
step forward to receive their diplomas;
but the secret of the stalwart young
Havemeyer's agitation Is that one pair
of those eyes will belong to Miss Char
lotte Whiting, Of Newport, who will be-
come his bride before next winter.
Fashionable society has long been
aware thai these fortunate young people
loved each other, and is waiting to ex-
tend It's congratulations when the for
NAL announcement of their engagement
is made after Mr.. Havemeyer is gradu-
ated from his university.
Rich as he Island he inherits a goodly
share Of the millions his family has
made out Of sugar-he Is not denied the
satisfaction of being loved for himself.
Miss Whiting has a fortune of her own
large enough TO enable her to marry
penniless man and still enjoy all the
luXuries to which she has been accus-
toned. Her income IS $4,000 year.
That IT is love match on both sides
and that Mr.. Havemeyer and Miss Whit
ing are at the dawning Of the romantic
age-these considerations are a stimulus
to the feelings of interest with which So
ciety would under any circumstances
look forward to such an important we'd
ding.
In view of this event, which will take
place in the fall, Mrs. Theodore Have
meyer, the prospective bridegroom 5
mother, has abandoned her intention OF
going to Europe for long visit and will

ters will be her guests for the season

watched her narrowly. Almost immedi-
ately dull, red flush crept over her
face, but whether 1t was due to a recog-
hltlon OF the voice or to a. conviction that
she had been detected in error I could
not determine, but when the sudden
change to the spoken words took place a
sort of startled light sprang into her
eyes. She hesltated in reply to my CUES
ton If she recognized the voice, finally
saying that she did not; that at first it
seemed familiar, but the impression faded
as she listened. I was not satisfied It
seemed to me as though the young wona-
an could have said more If she were in
cllned-that she had something Of sus-
plcion. l pressed this view upon her
but she escaped conclusions by asserting
that a tone or two Of the recorded voice
had suggested a person, but only a tone
or two, that 1t was simply absurd to as
sociate the person with the deed of bur
glary.
