Mr. Hines says that many of the boxes

which characterize the work of this popu-

The hero passes through many phases Of
adventure. ranging from his experience
in the Fleet. where he was imprisoned for
debt. to the interior of Hindoost2n, where
he did wonderful deeds of valor, was the
associate of princes and rajahs and made

tells in his characteristic style of the dis
appearance and temperance of an Eng
lishman of wealth and position who
abandons by intent his wife and estates,
but all unwittingly the heritage of flesh
and blood he finally claims. The story is
chiefly laid in England, but makes eXcur-
sions into Spain and to Hamburg, and
the latter place is~the scene of q duel
which Mr. Castle describes in the most
approved fashion. 1t is a good plot, al
though at times it seems a little over
drawn. For instance. it hardly stands to
reason that an independent young fellow
would allow chance acquaintance to in

hitherto antagonistic abandon the fight and
give him clear field.
Never has the rule-or-ruin policy been
carried TO greater extremes by an individ-
ual. Other aspirants to office have been
content with waging war against indiviS-
Gals and political factions or parties. They
have endeavored to win the appreciation
and gratitude of their fellow-citizens by
meritorious service and by displays of pub
lie spirit. IL remained for Mr.. Addicks TO
a hostage and to threaten its ruin unless
his demands were complied with.
AddickS'S Stand-and-deliyer methods will
not surprise any one who knows him. Any
other course would appear incompatible
with his sense of delicacy and patriotic in
stincts. II remains to be seen how the
people or Delaware and their representa-
t1ves in the Legislature will take this
threat. The only answer that can be made
with honor and credit to the State is the
signal and emphatic defeat of the audacious
political freebooter who aimed SO foul a
blow.
The encouragement received by Addicks
at the Philadelphia convention cannot be
regarded as otherwise than unfortunate

BANNOCKBURN RELICS.
A Scottish Plowmnn Unearths Two
Thousand silver Pennies.

lOnuOu
Samuel McMichan, plowman of Close
burn. Dumfriesshire, has just brought TO
light a potful of silver pennies that We're
hurled probably $50 years ago, or there
abouts. Samuel McMichan. being plow-
man who takes a pride in his furrow,
rested his horses at the end OF the neld
he was working a few days ago. and cast
his eyes back along the line he had FOL
lowed to see that it was straight
IL was not. His critical eye noticed an
unevenness In the ground, and Samuel Nc
Michan stepped back over the clods of
that high-lying field to ascertain the cause.
He found that his pillow had broken open
an earthenware pot, and before him lay
scattered hundreds Of pieces of what, in his
homely. lowland way, ne called tin"
off and consulted the farmer, and most
of the "tin" turned out to be silver pen
niles of the reign of Edward L, who annexed
Scotland, and Edward III, who lost IT,.
There were over 1000 of them, all In good
preservation, each measuring three-quar-
tiers of an inch across. They weighed nve
pounds in bulk.
The oldest OF the coins are those of
King Alexander OF Scotland, who ruled
from 1249 to 1885, There are also a few
bearing the mint mark OF Waterford, in
Ireland. The latest are those of Edward
III, whom the Scots cheerfully thrashed at
BannocEburn in 1914. In 1913 Edward Bruce
drove the English oppressor out of Niths-
dale, and II Is suggested that some Eng
lishman, being in a hurry to reach the
border, put his 1000 silver pennies in a
potsherd and hid it in the ground.
II would be interesting TO know the name
of the man who thus lost what Samuel
McMichan, 500 years later, found. Perhaps
an antiquary will tell US. But, at any rate,
the crown is claiming the pennies as
treasure-trove, so they will probably find
their way into Scottish museum for Eng
lish visitors to look at.
