THE OLDEST DOLL IN AMERICA.

Good ship Canterbury.
CTo BE Continued

when VILLA NIB Came over I'm the
Good Ship Canterbury.
In 1899, when William Penn sailed
from England in the good ship Canter-
bury for his second visit to the Ameri-
can colony, of which, so far. scant no
tice has been taken. he brought with
him an English doll, believed to be to-
day the sole surviving representative OF
that voyage a1ross the Atlantic. This
doll, selected by William Penn's daugh-
ter. Lelitia, was sent by her To a little
Miss Rankin of Philadelphia, and, after
200 eventful years, it still retains, in a
marked degree, much of the brightness
and beauty OF those early days, when
she was the pet of one little Quakerass
after another. Her dress, not being
changed with the changing fashions, Is
the court dress of that period, and is OF
striped and delicately-tinted brocade
and velvet; the skirt is very full, II
is distended over an enormous hoop.
She is twenty inches in height, and her
figure is long-waisted and slender, as
are the pictures or court beauties in
those days. The full basque spreading
out from the belt over the skirt, en-
hances the slender effect. The hair is
rolled away from the face, much In the
fashion of to-day. She now lives in
Montgomery county, Maryland, in the
retirement her great age demands, only
being removed from her careful wrap
pings when strangers. whom her quiet
fame has reached. come to make close
acquaintance with this, the oldest doll
in America.-Ladies' Home Journal.

CHAPTER XVIII.


Leathwood was torn by a hundred
doubts and fears and terrorc; he saw in
every circumstance something to be
afraid of-some other strand of that net
which ne knew was closing about him.
1t was evident that the girl. Olive. was
hedged about and protected liz a way he
had never Imagined; it was more evil
dent still tina his secret regarding the
murdered man was no longer safe. AL
ready Anthony Taggett-whether by
accident or design-had blundered upon
the story: and now this mysterious
stranger had urged him to return to
Rickerby's Folly because OF something
he had hidden there. The wretched
man was torn in two directions; fear
urged him to put as great a distance as
possible between the dark house in st.
Johns Wood and himself; fear, too,
urged him back to it. to v his deed,
IL that were possible-or. at all events,
20 assure himself that his secret was
still safe.
So he ~blundered along in the growing
dawn, dragging Cornelius with him, and
cursing the old mans slow steps. Com
ing at last to the station, he came upon
struggling workingmen, making their
way to 1t in time for the early trains to
London; fell in with them and took a
couple OF tickets. He arrived at Kings
Cross. with Cornelius, who was still half
asleep and i'm a mood to grumble at ev-
erything, just as London was waking up
and beginning a new day. But here a
new e assailed him-the fear that
Rickerby's Folly might be watched
II won't go there yet" he announced
TO Cornelius. Its quite possible that
they may be looking for me: IL so, I'll
disaproint them. You can go at once
TO the house; set to work, cautiously, to
find out from your wife If anyone has
been there. or II n inquiries have been
made. I'll be there tonight after dark.
Find out particularly whether that fell

anything else out of him without much
trouble. Now, TO-; expect me about
nightfall.''
Cornelius Viewers. grumbling still, set
Oft for Rickerby's Folly, leaving his
master to get rid of the day the best he
could. Truth to tell, Nugent found the
time hang heavily on his hands; saw In
every face that glanced into his In the
streets or In restaurants where he took
his meals. suspicion and d~istrust; feared

that vour pursuit OF this girl is useless,
and that she knows her former lover 10

Nugent Leathwood paced the room
for a moment or two in silence any
broke out at last into muttered WORDS.
"Giltert Rick nrby not ~dead--yet III

There came another knock at tne
door. and Jemima entered. Apparently
seeing nothing as usual, she said. In the
calmest fashion: !.
There's a party here of the name OF
Reeks as wants to see you, Mr.. i,eath-
wood"
"Au right, I'll see him in a moment.
By the way, Jemima"-he turned quick
ly to her as she was going out or the
rccm. there was a new thought In his
mind--"this dead Gilbert R~ickerby-you
remember him as a boy?'
"If I don't rem amber my boy, / Z don't

man with a smile.

he laughed and nodded reassuringly TO
her-'I wonder If your memory IS
good?''.

woman, with her eyes raised upwards.
"a tall, fair lad, with the 'andsomest'
brightest face in the world. 1t wasnt
even spoilt-not in my eyes-by that cut

Nugent Leathwood sank into a chair
and gazed bIankly around the room: he
seemed unconscious of the fact that he
was not alone.
Good h~eavens!" he whispered; what
man'have I killed."
