owner, MT. Anthony LocKwood, firrera years ago. Mrs. Jersey wished to set up boarding house, so Lord Derring- ton placed her in here. Every stick in the place belongs to him. Should Miss Watson leave, she goes with the jew els, the money in the green box and with her deceased aunt's clothes"
 "A very poor outfit to start life on at her age," said Miss Bull, rising in her prim manner. By the way, MT. James, what is the name Of the late MT. Lockwood's executor?''
 Roger Ireland" replied the lawyer, looking rather surprised. -Why do you ask Y'
 For my own satisfaction, Mr. James. If no one else will assist this poor girl I shall do so. Good day"
 So far as James was personally con cerned, he heard no more of the little woman. Miss Bull collected the board CTS in the drawing room after dinner and made a speech. She said that it was Margery Watson's intention to keep on the house and that the terms would be as before. If any chose to stop they would be welcome, but those who decided to go could have their bills made out at once. Having thus acted as the mouthpiece of Margery, Miss Bull took the girl away to the sitting room of the late Mrs. Jersey, the very one in which the tragedy had taken place.
 "Good child,'' said Miss Bull, s'Lord Darlington is the owner of this house, and he leased 1t to your aunt by the year-a very strange arrangement, for which there ought to be some explana- tion I am going to seek it from Lord Darlington. With regard to the an nuity''
 What annuity?'' sI forgot you don't know about that. We'll, there is no need that you should. But 1t seems that Lord Darlington al- lowed your late aunt an annuity of E5o0 year. I don't know the req son why he did so, and as such req son is not pertinent to matters in hand I do not wish to know, but the annuity must lapse. It is not likely that Lord Darlington will continue 1t to your She paused and looked at the girl. Your parents are dead, believe, Mar gery"
 'sYes, For many years I have been with my aunt. She was my only reia- tive, dear Miss Bull"
 "All the better. I don't want other people interfering said Miss Bull in her icy way. "Well, Margery, shall see if can get Lord Darlington to re- new the lease to you, and shall be your security. With the money in hand--I have counted 1t, and with that in the bank 1t amounts to f200-we can continue the boarding house. A few of the boarders will go, but many will remain, as they will not get any where so cheap place. You will be the nominal head of the house, but in reality shall manage. Do you agree2"
 "I am your slave" cried Margery, with melodramatic intensity.
 You are my friend" said Miss Bull, her thin lips relaxing. 1T am lonely woman, Margery, though still have surviving sister''-her lips frightened again as she said this and I love you, my dear, for your goodness. We'll, we shall keep on the boarding house." From that moment Miss Bull was in charge of the Amelia square estab- nshment. Whatever means ashe used. to Induce Lord Darlington to consent, she certainly managed to get the lease renewed in Margery's name. Some of the boarders went, but others came in their place.

PAINT AND CLAY CLUE.

The lecture to be delivered on Satur- day, the opening night of the Paint and Clay club exhibition. will be by Profes- sor Weir; subject, "A Day in Venice" This lecture is profusely illustrated. It gives not only an artists delightful inn pressions of this famous Italian city, but is also descriptive of the work of the Venetian painters. The committee of selection will meet on Monday after noon, April Il, and it would seem by the present aspect of things that they will have more pictures to pass judgment upon than ever before in the history of the club. William T. Fry, the clubs packer. has been at the gallery for two days receiving and repacking the many pictures which have come in. MT. Wal ter Griffin, of Hartford, the instructor in painting at the Hartford Art society, will be the nonresident member of the jury Mf. Griffin is both landscape and portrait painted and he will send to the exhibition one of his latest and best canvasses, which was recently on exhi- bition at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The social committee is arranging for a number of teas to be given during the course of the exhibi- tion. Thanks to the generous response from the recently elected associate members, the club is more prosperous than ever before and looks for most successful season.

BROWN UNIVERSITY NOTES.

During the spring vacation which ended last week, many Improvements of minor character were made about the campus. The finishing touches were given to the Bajnotti Memorial Clock Tower and the scaffolding removed. The ground around the base of the tow CT which was torn up during the build ing operations, is being leveled and sod ded, and work of a similar nature will soon be started around Rockefeller Hall. In fact the erection of seven new build ings has made necessary the laying out of new paths and grades on the middlt and rear campuses. The work is in the hands of a noted landscape gardener, and it is expected that the grounds will be in good condition by Commencement week. Most of the interior work of the John Carter Brown Library has been completed. The bookcases, which are of bronze with glass doors, have been in stalled. A large room in University Hall, formerly known as Sears Reading room, has been remodelled and will be used as seminary by the department of English literature. Shower baths have been placed in two of the older dormitories, Slater Hall and Hope col- lege.
 The three men chosen to preprsent Brown in the debate with Johns Hop- kins university on April 23d are: c. w. Woodin 'O5, of Blodgitt's Mills, N.
 Y, c. H. Kingman O5 of Jamestown, N.
 r., and G. G. Sher '06, of Worcester,
 Mass. The Hicks prize of forty dol lars, for the best showing in the whole series of trials, was awarded to MT.
 Woodin. The following have been se- lected as judges for the debate: S. E. Baldwin, justice of the supreme court of errors of Connecticut; c. A. DeCourcy, justice of the superior court of Massa- chusetts, and Professor G. w. Kirch-
 wey, dean of Columbia Law school. Professor Carl Barus has recently been elected a member of the American Philosophical society, and will contri- bute paper at the annual meeting of that society in Philadelphia on the sth of April.

"You cannot go anywhere in Paris
without meeting the secret police, al
though you would never recognize
them" observed Briton familiar with
The French capital, according to Cas-
ellis Journal.
"There are four divisions Of these un-
Uniformed crime detectors. The first
division is known as the Surety, the
BUSINESS of which Is to track down
Known criminals and capture them.
they are daring, willy and resourceful
fellows, and it Is q clever malefactor
indeed who can evade them.
another body of this plain clothes
police looks after the tenants Of lodg-
ing houses and hotels. They take note
81 all the arrivals and departures, and
gather statistics regarding the work
men in the actories, the sick in hos
pitals and private houses, and SO forth.
"a thaird division occupies itself with
political plotters, agitators and gam
oilers. At meetings of seditious char
acter they mingle with the crowd, and
Ito disarm suspicion) applaud as loud
Iy as anybody, and join in denunciation
OF the government. They appear in
gambling dens as gamblers themselves,
and they also keep quiet watch on the
regular police.
"The remaining division consists of
Elegantly dressed persons who watch
over the president, and also protect
him not only from assassins, but also
rom bores and cranks."
