THE DOONES OF EXMOOR.
4 Note for Readers of Lorna Doone."

From The London Daily Telegraph
Who We're the "Doones of Badgworthy?" The
question would never have been asked but for
genius OF the late Mr.. II. d. Blackmore.
who did for EXmOor with Lorna DOone" what
scott old for the TrOssachs with Rob Roy"
We're there ever such beings, were they sim
ply d legendary family? In a very interesting
pamphlet. published by MessTs. Burleigh, Mr..
r. j. Rawle seeks to give a definite answer.
He shows that the first attempt to collect EX-
moor legends was made about the year 1881.
and they were mainly gathered from an old
woman named Ursula Johnson, a reputed witch.
There is no mention or the DoOneS until the
middle of last century, when the district was
opened up tourist resort. and the robber
legend was given in the guide books In 1897
there article in 'Fraser'S Magazine
quoting the legend Of the DOoneS Seizing an in
FAINT and eating it, and the story of Tom Fag-
gus and his strawberry horse About 1856
crude short tale appeared in THE Leisure Hour
called THE Doones of Exmoor," and Black
more acknowledged that it was through acct
dentally glancing at this that he obtained the
clew for the weaving of the romance which
caused him to study the details on the spot
Lorna DoOne'' itself was published in 1869
Since then endless efforts have been made to
find n real historical basis for the Doone legend
and to prove the existence of DOOnes in the Dare
and Badgworthy district in the seventeenth
century
Mr. RawIe has not much difficulty in dsposing
of these fanciful theories. The simple fact is
that nothing is known, though two years ago
a lady claimed that her great-great-great-
grandfather the of Charles DOOne, eld-
est son of Sir Ensor, and probably the original
traced the pedigree out with great circumstan-
tial detail. She maintained that the Doones
were Scotch, that they were eXiled from Scotland
in 1920. and settled in the Dare Valley. where
they were more or less hated and feared by the
countryside, until their return to Perthshire in
1859 But the whole story, as Mr.. Rawle shows.
seems to have been a most ingenious and elab-
crate hoax, including the old pair of bellows
and f1ntlock pistol, engraved on one side &C.
DoOne." and on the other "PorlOk." Mr.. Rawle's
own suggestion is that 'DoGne' is simply a cor
ruption of Dane" and he shows how even as
late the beginning of the eighteenth century
memories of the ancient desCents and raids of
the Danes the shores of the Severn Sea
very fresh in the minds of the inhabitants
of PorlOck. Such Deeds" he says -as are now
associated with the DoOnes of BadgwOrthy are
far more likely to have been done by the fierce
marauding Danes than by any band of common
wealth outlaws or family of exiled Scottish
nOblemen. -

THE FOUR FINDS.

By CHARLES IL LCDERS.
Wind of the North.
Wind of the NOTland SHOWS,
Wind of the winnOwed skies and sharp, clear
stars
Blow cold and clean across the naked hills,
And crisp the lowland pools with crystal films,
And blur the easement squares with gIitterins
ice,
But go not near my love.
Wind of the West
Wind of the few far clouds,
Wind of the gold and crimson sunset lands
Blow fresh and pure across the peaks and plains
And broaden the blue spaces of the heavens
And sway the grasses and the mountain pines
But let my dear one rest.
Wind Of the East
Wind of the sunrise seas
Wind of the clinging mistS and gray harsh
rains
Blow moist and chill across the wastes Of brine
And shut the sun out and the moon and stars
And lash the boUghs against the dripping caves,
Yet keep thou from my love.
But thou, sweet wind
Wind OF the fragrant South
Wind from the bowers of jasmine and OF rose
over magnolia glOOms and Iilied lakes
And Towering forests come with dewy wings
And stir the petals at her feet and kiss
Inc low mound where she lies.

quick witted and tactful; and at her very
lrt essay a susceptible and eligible hobbede-
hoy becomes the captive of her bow and spear
proving to the letter the truth of Thackerays
theory. This trial of her powers Clara makes
in d humorous and tentative vein-it is ex-
pertinent, and she is dismayed at its success.
She is even less satisfied with the widower who
presently yields himself up as an undesred vic
I'm. Her effort to help jealous wife shows
anew how mans Grant fancy may be fixed;
out the consequences again displease them
this case-generOus Clara. There comes a day
when all her theories, whether her own or
Ihackeray's, thrown to the winds What
happens then we leave the reader to discover;
2he climax is amusing it is true to life.
Eere as in other stories, Nine. de Longarde
shows herself to be a realist who does not dis
dain romance, and genuine sentiment lends
trace and a gentle humor to her novel.

SPURIOUS ART IN PARIS.
From The Pail Mall Gazette.

From The Fan Mall Gazette.
Collectors and especially foreign collectors
should be their guard against limitations of
objects of art and furniture of the eighteenth
century offered for sale in Paris. The vogue
which the art Of this period enjoys has
developed to the highest degree the ingenuity
Of the manufacturers of VieuX-neuf. Even the
famous Double collection had a few spots upon
its fair fame. Indeed, what collection has not?
Miniatures in particular, are manufactured to
perfection by half a dozen artists, whose SER
vices are monopoliZed by clever dealers. AS for
old and modern pictures, they are being forged
by the score One has a speciality of
Hobbema another of Diaz, another of Troyon
another Of COrOt
In the of the modern pictures an ex-
perienced person will readily detect impOSture
but in the case of old pictures the opinions
even Of experts, it has been proved, not worth
much. Men of equal experience often give con-
Trajectory verdicts. In spite of the force of fash
ion and the constantly increasing demand for
World, doubt whether the present high prices
of the art market hold out, and although
the press has lately taken the matter in hand
and exposed systematically and honestly the
frauds of the YieuX- neuf business, the forgeries
seem to be q%aite as numerous as ever The
other day, for instance, l saw worthy cabinet
maker at work on Renaissance bahut. He
had bored tiny holes at irregular intervals all
over the wood, and then with a small pair of
bellows he was blowing the dust of ages into
the WoTmhOles. The dust of ages in question
was simply "Insecticide Vicot," generally used
for the destruction of obnoxious insects but in
this case guaranteed to be authentic poussere
de IepOque.

SHADOWS.

BY SEBASTIAN EVANS.
Lonely DER the dying ember
L the past recall,
And remember in December
April buds and August skies
As the shadows fall and rise
AS the shadows rise and fall
Quicker now they fit and flicker
on the dreaTy wall
Aye and quicker still and thicker
Through the fitful fantasies.
As the shadows fall and rise,
As the shadows rise and fall.
DINNER now they shoot and simmer
On the dreary wall
DINNER, DINNER stil they glimmer
Till the light in darkness dies,
And the other shadows rise.
And the other shadows fan.

With sweet unmemOried scents

Trembling to welcome il.

Proclaim the spirits desire.

The Joplin Disgrace.

During the past week a tramp ne
gro killed a white officer in the
city of Joplin. In return a large
mob was organized and vengeance
was wrought or the colored popu-
lation of that city by the wholesale.
Negroes were driven from their
homes, their houses burned and
they were forced to leave the city
on short notice. The actions of
the mob were beyond the control
of the police force and a special set
of five hundred men had to be
sworn in to protect the blacks
from total humiliation. The raid
wound up by hanging the offend
ing negro to a tree. This last,
though horrible in itself, was the
least digraceful part of the whole
plot. The act of making all the
innocent colored people in the
town suffer for the deeds of ont
wandering, irresponsible wretch
sounds too unreasonable for belief
