cially do I dwell upon this because
no other land among those so accessi-
Bile and little travelled offers so much
of interest to our people, and some,
no doubt. have hesitated to make the
journey since the late war.
The question is often asked, "Why
do people travel abroad who have not
seen all of their own country?" One
might as well inquire, why do peo-
pie go to a concert or an opera who
have parlor organ at homer"
A new country like America cannot
have as many places of interest as old
ones like those of Europe or Asia.
Within the distance between Boston
and Chicago the European traveller
can compass the won lers of ten ma
tions, each with its own Language,
customs, architecture, historical mon
uments and natural scenery.
In a dozen Spanish towns of the
fifth rang there are medieval
churches of surprising beauty. Among
the pleasant hills are picturesque pal
aces and monasteries, across the val
leys run aqueducts that seem built by
race of Titans. while rivers are
crossed by bridges on which St. Paul
may have set his feet. And Spain
does not exceed in interest, does not
even equal several other lands that
may be traversed in the time it takes
to go from New York to Galveston.

Some Noble Madmen
Especial Letter.

The late Laurence Oliphant told
some boys once-it is one of them
who writes this-that he was staying
at Glamis castle, one of large shoot
ing party. One day, while the men
were away, the ladies. to pass the
time. decided to learn which was the
haunted room.
To effect their purpose, they de-
cided to go from room to room and
hang a towel from each window
When they had done this they were
to inspect the house from the outside
and any window without its towel
would, of course, open into the haunt
ed room.

in the elaborate fountains. Alphonso

the residents of the village are suit

king or queen has been among them

of the Scots Earl of Strathmore and
Kinghorne. Which room it was no
one knew except the living Earl. his
factor or agent, and the Earls eldest
son, who learned the secret on his
twenty-frst birthday.
According tc The story published in
Blackwood's about the year 1S77-the
present heir to the title became of
age in 1S76-the house was filled with
guests to celebrate the coming of age
of Lord Glamis. On his birthday he
was taken aside by his father and
the factor, was absent some time, and
returned pale and evidently much agi-
tated; he had seen the Glamis ghost.

to attend the "Salve" at one of the
smaller churches on the afternoon of
my arrival, and made haste to reach
the place.
The sight inside the edifice was most
interesting. Lighted candles so numer-
GUS as to give the effect OF great
blaze covered the high altar. Music
by orchestral instruments was ac-
companied by only one fine tenor
voice. the strain seeming at times
lively enough for a dance. Gorgeously
clad priests of various grades, at
tended by boys in red. repeated the
service. Below a large image of the
Holy Virgin was a most enchanting
little figure of Christ, at tAe apparent
age of three years, with tightly curled
blonde hair and gold-braided gar

her marriage to Carl Bingham, Hins-

works remained shut down for weeks
and until three days before the date

gave the strikers the nine hour day

of Arundel and Surrey, only
son of the Duke of Norfolk,
te4@aS5 senior Duke of England, may
perhaps be relief to the
hard and fast upholders of the divine
right of primogeniture: for the unfor-
tunate Earl had been an idiot from
his birth, and since an attack of scar
let fever, when a child, had been blind
also.
Recent laws would have prevented
his sitting in parliament to help make
Jaws for the British nation, but in the
old days only his own inclination
could have kept him out of the house
of lords, and his vote as peer would
have been as valuable as that of any
peer possessed of all his faculties.
Peerage history is very tender to
titled persons. "Burkes Peerage"-
the Briton's Bible, some persons have
been known to call it-in its accounts
of the ancestors of the present Mar
quis of Queensberry. says that the
second Duke of Queensberrry. "dy-
ing in I'LL, was s. by his eldest sur
viving son, Charles, Sd Duke" but
says nothing of the elder son, whose
death made way for him.
This elder son was James, Earl of
Drumlanrig, an idiot from his birth;
but unlike the poor Earl of Arundel
and Surrey, an idiot who retained all
his bodily powers, He was born
about 1886 and for years was kept in
retired part of Queensberry house,
Edinburgh, behind barred windows
and bolted doors.
He grew to be nearly seven feet in
height. and sustained tremendous
strength; he possessed an enormous
| appetite, and had to be fed continu-
ally. Meat was his main food and
the smell of cooking would throw him
into paroxysms of rage which could
be stilled only by prompt supplies of
| food.
On May l, 1907, the union of Scot
land and England took place, and on
that day all Edinburgh was excited.
Everybody was in the streets when
the union was celebrated. The Duke
of Queensberry, popularly detested
for his share in what the Scots con
sidered a shameful bargain. had a
prominent place in the ceremonies OF
the day, and almost every dweller in
Queensberry house was outside of
its walls, taking an active or specta
tors part in the days proceedings
That day the Earl of Drumlanrie
broke out of his apartments. He
found a door or a window fastened
less securely than usual and did no
have to exert all his strength to breal
the bars that restrained him.
He wandered through the deserted
house, demolishing furniture and pic
lures from time to time. until finally
he smelled meat cooking. In a par
oxysm of fury he found his way tt
the kitchen, where a cook and a little
boy were at work, the only persons
in the house. apparently.
The cook fed. The Earl fell OF
the boy before he could escape anG
killed him with the spit he held
Then he began to cook himl He wa!

Thereafter the Earl passed out o

quite exhausted, but with the claret
and the key of the locked door fast

At last the story of the haunted
room came out; that is, it is said to
have come out. To tell it requires a
short history of the family, which
now bears one of Macbeth's titles.
Thomas Bowes-Lyon. born in 1913.
became the eleventh Earl of Strath-

children, but he had had a son.
George by name, known generally as
Lord Glamis. This Lord Glamis, ae.
cording to the peerage, was born in
1901, and died in 1884, leaving two
sons, both of whom have been Earls

ages said nothing of such a person.
George Lord Glamis. father of the
present Earl and of his elder brother,
was the only Lord Glamis who could
have been more than 80; and he had
died in 1884 when not quite 33 years
old. Who then was Thomas Lord
Glamis," who died aged "a?
According to the story he was the
elder twin brother of George Lord
Gamis, an idiot from his birth. who
was set aside and maintained pri.
vately in Glamis castle The haunted
chamber was a room through which
entrance was had to the part of the
house reserved for him; the secret
confided to eacA heir on his coming
of age was the fact that there was
such person-uncle or great-uncle-
who legally was Earl of Strathmore
and Kinghorne.
The reason why the Earl would not
let the butler go for the claret was
that the maniac Lord Glamis had es-
capped from his keeper and was
known to be in hiding in the cellar;
and the Earl's condition when he
brought the claret to his guests was
due to the fact that he had barely
escaped from his crazy relative, who
was possessed of enormous strength
and obeyed only his keeper or at
tendant.
The son of the present Lord Glamis.

Strathmore. is Is years old now, so
the great subject cannot be told to
him for three years yet. If the story
told above and the death notice are
correct, there will be no secret to i'm
