The police, however, do not feel Ger

Apart from the utter obscurity sur
rounding the disappearance of the
wealthy and talented woman who is
the central figure of the sc-called
"Moated Grange Mystery" which is
now occupying the attention of the
public in England, by far the most
striking thing about the affair is the
grim appropriateness of it's >scene. The
ancient, forbidding manor house, sur
rounded by it's canal of dull water,
standing in the midst Of property
neglected for years, buried in DESC
late country district, miles away from
the nearest village, was the place of
all places that a Wilkie Collins or d
Gaboriau would have selected as the
scene Of such tragedy as it is now
believed took place there.
To the Moated Grange, which stands
in Essex, several miles from the
sleepy little town of Claver1ng, came
with the man whom she believed to be
her husband Camille Holland, an elder
ly woman of wealth and rare gifts
an authoress, musician and painter
and from the Grange, after living
there for barely three weeks, she dis
appeared as utterly as if she suddenly

had returned to the original dist.
Of this, however, the outside world
knew nothing. The man at the Grange
went on living there. He took in the
letters that came for the vanished
woman. It was nearly four years ago
that Miss Holland disappeared from
the Grange, but ever since that time
the man, Samuel Dougal, has present
ed regularly at her bank checks sup
posedly drawn and signed by the miss
ing woman.
It is now believed that Dougal
forged these checks. Recently the
bank officials became suspicious at
never seeing or hearing directly from
the woman upon whose large account
her supposed husband was continually
drawing. The inquiries they set on
foot revealed that MRS. Dougal," or
Miss Holland, had disappeared long
before, and Dougal was arrested just
as he was attempting to leave the
country. He now is charged with
forgery and held on suspicion of a
graver crime.

Oh, what has become Of the br:ndle stee,
Who lazily lolled in the lot?
And the yoke he wore, with its wooden
pins
Are these, and the wagon forgot?
Are all the old things of the other time
Engulfed in the shams Of to-day?
Has the wind also, in it's shifting course,
Blown these old idols away?
Oh, what has become of the brindle steer
Who toiled away in the bog?
Whose muscles were taut, and swollen

The weight of the cart and the log?
But he chewed his cud, nor grumbled,
Nor faltered once in the day
Alas for the wind, in its shifting course
Has it blown all these away?
Oh, what has become of the brindle steer,
And the big, tall man with the whip?
Snapped, alas! for puff of steam,

Occasional Visitors.

A gentleman having an estate in the
Highlands, as he was going abroad for
some time, advertised the shooting to

who was to show the ground, to give it
a good character to anyone who called
to see it.
An Englishman came down, and in.
curing of Donald as to how it was
stocked with game, first asked if it
had any deer. Donald's reply was:
thousands Of them
ANY grouse?"
"Thoosands of them, too"
ANY partridges?"
"Thoosands of them, too."
ANY woodcock?"
"Thoosands of them, too."
The Englishman, thinking Donald
was drawing the long bow, asked If
there were any gorillas. Donald drew
himself up.

European Monarchss Have Different

Although the late queen Of the Brit.

imperial title in signing public docu-
ments-"Victoria r. I."-her son and
successor prefers the =. more simple
Edward R." This preference was
especially noticeable in his coronation
messages to his subjects last year. To
the people of the United Kingdom he
signed himself Edward r." but it
was Edward R. l." to the people of
India and the colonies. Constitution
ally this was strictly correct, for the
titles act of 1876 stipulates that the
imperial dignity shall not be used in
Britain, but only in India. 1t is no.
table and characteristic that the Ger
man emperor, who is emperor only by
reason of his position as king OF
Prussia, puts his imperial rank first
and signs civilian I. R." Sovereigns
always sign at the top of the paper;
hence the phrase, "Given under our
hand and SEAL"
The reason is that no name may ap-
pear above the royal one. When Louis
Philippe visited Queen Victoria at
Windsor they went over Eton.' Before
leaving their signatures in the visit
ors' book were requested. The bour-
geois king wrote his name first. Eth
quette forbade her majesty to sign
her name below his, and, with the
readiest tact, she turned over leaf to
write "Victoria R." at the top of the
paper. But the haughtiest signature
is that of the king of Spain, who dis
dams names, and signs himself "Yo
