times the case. As company they had
brought their only son and heir, a. lad
of sixteen, whose doubtful health had
made IL seem necessary. Already was
this lad so much improved that he

should be realized. The chance came
none to soon to satisfy the lad whose
forefathers and fore mothers handed
down to him the blood that tells.

regular man being indisposed. To
make a short string Of n long yarn.
they met with mishap. a more than
usually playful calf rooted the boat
over and spilled the crew.
When 10 was safely perched upon
the overturned craft the first thing
that attracted his attention was the
captain y Son. WHO was nlakinE ITaU-

on came JOS slop-chcst outfit and
he was overheard ana supporting the
drowning lad before any OF the 9TH

1t was some little time before help
arrived and when it did both boys were
about exhausted. more especially 10,
from keeping the captains son in con-

might be expected later.

The Bone. of the conoueror.


A splendid monument brilliant with
gems and gold was erected by William
Rufus over the ashes Of his father. but
in the HuguenOt wars of the sixteenth
century the Abbey of St. Stephen was
plundered and partly destroyed. the
shrine was wrecked, and the bones Of the
Conqueror were scattered about the
church. A thigh bone of such size as to
indicate man of great stature was saw
ed and placed in a new tomb when the
church was restored in 1912. About n
century later this second tomb was re
moved to another part of the choir. and
in 1893, during the ruthless days Of the
terror, it, too, was rif1ed, and the last
relic of 1.-THE famous baron" disappeared

How She DOdged q Visitor and Got
Her Sister Into Trouble.
1t is manifestly impossible for girl to
be dressed to receive company every
minute of the "a hours. That was
Beatrice's only excuse when it was all
over. She sat on the big couch, which is
the joy of the living room. busily sewing
covers on to sofa cushions. Her attire
was a kimono dressing jacket and a mus
lin petticoat. and her hair was held up
in a precarious state by one pin. She
was hurrying to get through and dress
before callers came. 1t was under these
circumstances that she heard the new and
stupid maid usher into the hallway Of
the fat John Robertson Bellamy, who 10
all that his name implies. If given her
choice between instant death or meet
ing Mr.. Bellamy as she then appeared.
Beatrice would have gone to the stake
cheerfully. There was not the ghost
of chance to escape. In another In
slant Mr.. Bellamy would set foot in the
living room, for fats are small. With
beseeching glance at Geraldine. who was
sitting in an armchair paralyzed at the
situation. Beatrice swooped aside the
cushions and-the big couch with no
back being providentially set across an
angle of the room-tumbled down back Of
1t in a tumultuous heap.
Mr.. Bellamy was somewhat alarmed at
the agitated welcome he received from
Geraldine. Never had he suspected her
of being anything but eminently calm
and sensible.
mo, Beatrice is not in, l am sorry to
say" tibbed Beatrice's hysterical sister
tremendously. "She was SO sorry to
break her engagement with you. but cir.
cumstances made it necessary for her
er-to"- Just here Geraldine's invcn
ton gave out wildly, and she sat staring
at John Robertson Bellamy. who stared
back in polite but ruf1ed attention.
And then Beatrice sneezed. Any one
who has ever had the good fortune to
hear her hearty, whole souled, resound
ing sneeze under ordinary circumstances
can realize what 1t was like, intensified
by the hollow behind the couch. Tn.
dust on the floor had brought about the
catastrophe. 1t sounded like an anna.
teur dynamite explosion.
1t remained for Geraldine to put the
finishing touch. "Ha, ha!' she laughed
fercely. "Ha. ha! My new pet YORKSHIRE
has such a funny sneeze. hasn't he?" Ant
she glared fercely at poor Mr.. BellamJ
as though defying him to deny the para
dox of laying that huge and startling
noise at the door of small and shiverint
toy dog.
Mr.. Bellamy was on his feet, and h,
looked worried. "Oh, certainly-yes-
don't mention it" he said incoherently
and then he left. He is remarking to PEG
pie of late that 1t is the oldest thing tina.
he was kept in ignorance SO long of Mis-
~ 4
When he remembers that curious sneez'
behind the couch, he adds that there ii
certainly something creepy and abnorma
about the whole household.
And whenever Beatrice wishes to brini
Geraldine to time since the happening al
she has to do is to bark once.-New Iorl
