An EucIish Tradition.

On his way from Clifton Down to
Avonmouth the prince of Wales
passed in the avon gorge a curious
structure, to which singular tradi-
ton is attached. The story is that
a person named Cook about CEN
fury ago was told by gypsy in the
Leigh woods that his only son would
be killed by a serpent before he
reached the age of 21. To avert this,
he built a high tower, and shut his
son in the topmost room, with the
intention of secluding him there un-
til the fatal age was past. How
ever, by accident, a viper was taken
up in a faggot and bit the boy SO
that he died. Therefore, the tower
was called Cooks Folly, and that is
its name to this day, whatever is the
true explaDation.-Londo Tatier.

Tragic History of a Cfrc1et That Was
Treasured Among the Royal
Jewels of Scotland.

The traditional history of the
Scotch regalia ring is of the most
tragic, not to say melancholy, char
acter. 1t is believed that it was the
favorite ring of Mary Stuart, and
that, after her judicial murder in
Fotheringay Castle, it was transmit
ted to her son, says Good Words.
From James it descended to Charles
l., at whose coronation at Scone in
1853 it played a distinct part. Once
more did this ill-fated ring figure at
an untimely and ill-merited death;
for, with almost his last breath upon
the scaffold at Whitehall, Charles be-
queathed it to Bishop Juxon in trust
for his son. In due course of time
the ring came into the possession of
James H., and was carried away with
him on his fight to the continent.
When, however, he was detained by
the fishermen at Sheerness, the ring,
which had been secreted in the
kings underclothing, only escaped
robbery by the luckiest of mistakes
on the part of the sailor who
searched him. Thus the ring was
passed on uninjured to James de-
scendants, till, by the bequest of
Cardinal York, it became the prop
erty of the reigning dynasty once
more, and was by them replaced
among the royal jewels of Scotland.
from which it had been separated for
many long year.

| in the act when a carriage drove
rapidly down to the stage and two
| tardy passengers hurried aboard.
The mate bawled from his station
on the hurricane deck:
"Now, then! Take turn on that
spring line out there and get them
| trunks aboard! Lively."
The larger of the two trunks fell
to the late recruit; and when he had
set it down at the door of the desig-
mated stateroom he so far forgot
himself as to read the card tackled
upon it: Charlotte Farnham, Wa
haska. Minnesota"
THANK you,' said musical voice

put it inside?"
GriswOld turned as one smitten.
and was not without embarrassment
at having been caught reading the
tag. But when he saw the owner of
the voice, CONSERVATION slew shame,
and he was prompted to make wild
dash for liberty. For Miss Farnham

he met her gaze fairly and became
sane again when he made sure that
she did not recognize him-became
sane, and snatched off his cap and
dragged the trunk into the state
! room; after which he went to his
place with great thankfulness
throbbing in his heart and an in
choate resolve shaping itself in his
brain.
Late that night, when the Belle
Julie was well on her way to the
northward, he flung himself down
upon the freight on the engine-room
guard to snatch a little rest between
landings, and the resolve became
sufficiently cosmic to formulate itself
in words.

I have never heard of Wahaska."
Now Griswold the proletary was,
before all things else, Griswold the
imaginative craftsman; and no soon
was the question of his destina-
ton settled than he began to pre-
figure the place and its probable
lacks and havings. This process
brought him by easy gradat1ons to
pleasant idealizings of Miss Farm
ham, who was, thus far. the only
thing tangible connected with the
destination dream. Whereupon her
personality laid hold upon him and
the idealizings became purely lit
erary.

CHAPTER v.

For an hour after his ventursome
return to the bank Griswold tramped
up and down the 1evee, and the end
of it found him still undecided as
to the manner and direction of his
flight.
The hour had not been altogether
triumphant. The partition which is
the dividing line between a life of
semi-va grancy and life of crime is
tenuous enough; and any hot-heart-
ed one may break through it at will.
But to be vagrant indeed, one must
first be vagrant at heart; and Girls
void was far enough from this, now
or at any time; SO far from it tina t
the cl; ms of Lis transformed identi-
ty were already beginning to gall
him. 1t was to little purpose that
he girded at his compunctions, tell
ing himself that one needs must
when the devil drives. Custom,
habit, or whatsoever it may be which
distinguishes the law-abiding from
the lawless, would have it's say; and
from railing bitterly at the social
conditions which made his act at
once necessity and crime, he
came presently to loathing the sub
terfuges to which the crime had
driven him.
Moreover, mingled with the loath-
ing was growing fear that he
might not always be able to play
consistently the double role whose
lines were already becoming intri-
cate and confusing. To be true to
his mission. he must continue to be.
in utter Sinceritv GriSwOld the
brother-loving. To escape the con-
sequences of his act, he must hold
himself in instant readiness to be in
ruthless earnest what common
thief would be in similar straits

meanings, alert at any moment to

turn and Stay in the battle of self
prescription.
He had thought that the crisis was
past when he had pawned the last
of his keepsakes earlier in the day
for the money to buy the revolver.
But he had yet to learn that there
is no crisis in the human span save
that which ends it; and all the in
termediate duels with fate are mere
sub-climaXes once they have been
fought-conficts critical enough at
the moment, but likely to be re-
newed indefinitely if one lives be-
yond them. And it was another of
those sub-climaXes that came in the
hour of aimless wandering on the
levee. More than once he was tempt
ed to buy back his lost identity at
any price; at every price. if need be.
Not in any other moment of a we'll
filed life had he been made to re-
alize what a precious possession is
the fearleSsneSs of innocency;
weighed against it, the thick packet
of bank notes in the red bandanna,
and all that it might stand for. was
as air-blown bubbles to gold. And
not go back, since to restore the
money would be more than a cOnfes-
sion of guilt; it would be an abject
recantation, fat denial Of every
article of his social creed. and re-
turn to primordial chaos in the mat
ter of theories out of which he could
emerge only as criminal in fact
When the differentiation became
blankly insupportable, he put it
aside with the RESOLUTION which was
the strong thread in the loose
twisted warp of his character. and
addressed himself afresh to the I'm.

session of the red bandanna and its
holdings made all things possible-in
any field save the theoretical-and
the choice of dwelling. or hiding
places, seemed infinite. His first

REASON AND THE LAW.

Ey Perkins was cranky man. Joe Bunker

And Cyrus chose that road to town, despite
all Joe could say.
Though Bunker daily stormed and raved
no good Christian should.
Yet Perkins calmly held his way through
that convenient wood.
'tYour wood" he cried derisive1y; there's
nothing here to show
That all men with impunity may not thus

And serve notice on you now that will

strange in many ways,
Ard I will heed all barriers that 1t may
fairly raise.
Your sign. no doubt, is excellent, and II
only knew
Just what it says I'm satisfied I'd bow to
it and you"
Turn back!' cried Bunker, angrily. "for
