A CASE OF
DESTINY&
Bv ATHOL HOLLOWAY

A HEAVY shower of rain had left
u me stranded in the ancient and
sleepy city of Chichester. The country
roads, bad enough at the best of times,
were so sloppy as to put bicycling out
of the question. l knew nobody in
the town, and, as there is only one
place of interest-the cathedral
went there.
In doing this believed l was spend
ing an idle hour AS matter of fact,
l was unconsciously fulfilling the OBJ
ject for which l was probably brought
into the world.
The building appeared to be empty,
and l amused myself reading the
tablets that recorded the lives OF
worthy people who existed genera
tions ago. / found them interesting,
for my own name happens to be Clut-
ton, and, though have never troubled
myself about family trees" l knew
that we came from the west OF Eng
land. In other words, the knights and
danes who lay in Chichester cathedral
we're in all probability my ancestors.
l wish that they had had the foresight
to leave me some of their property.
Wandering through the cloisters, l
came across a living picture of much
greater interest and beauty than the
images of stone and iron lying around
me.
1t was a young lady, who was sketch
ing a corner of the building, and max
ing a frantic attempt to do justice to
the wonderful arches and quaint win
dows.
In order to get peep at her face,
made a pretense Of examining monu
ment close at hand. 1t was erected to
the memory of "Sir Francis Clutton,
115S-12O1." His legs were crossed at
the knees, which signifed he had
fought in three crusades; and had it
not been that some barbarous visitor
had broken off the gentleman's nose
he would have made most imposing
| figure.

moment by her side to see her work

Earliest Submarine Boat

One of the earliest suggestions Of the
submarine was that OF British snug
gler. Johnson, who invented boat that
was to travel under or above water
With this vessel he proposed to carry
Napoleon from st. Helena, but the en-
peror died while the boat was under con-
struction. The adherents Of the en-
peror promised Johnson 100000 on the
day the boat was ready to start and an
Immense sum If 1t proved successful.
Some years later Johnson built boat
with which he experimental in the
Thames for the British admiralty. In
this connection It may be mentioned
that one of Napoleon's marshals, Mas
sena, began life as a smuggler on large
scale and Commodore Thurot, of the
French navy Of that time, obtained HIS
knowledge of the British coasts while
in the employ Of smuggler.

Conspiracy FoileSI

Gen. Kuropatkin's hold over men IL
due to his reputation for absolute fear
lessness. Five years ago he received the
information that the great powder mag
azine at st. Petersburg and that at
Toulon (France) were to be blown up
within 2 hours. The guard was in bed
when he heard the news, but he at once
got up and started for st. Petersburg
without losing a moment. He sum-
soped all the staff Of the magazine and
went on round of inspection. He found
everything in order, and as proof OF
his satisfaction ordered every one in
the magazine to take three days holiday
and to leave at once. He then collected
a new garrison and new staff and set
q ring of sentries all round the maya
zine. The consequence was that nothing
happened to st. Petersburg magazine,
but that at Toulon was blown up the
next day.

and to take advantage OF 1t. Lore
Brampton tells a story of how he once
won a case on technical ground when
he had no defense He forced magis-
trate's clerk to be put into the witness
box by the prosecution to prove a pure

him there. he cross-examined him, and
made him practically admit that The led
his magistrates by the nose," to admit
also that they had refused bail by his
advice. and that Judge at chambers had
afterward granted it, although the wit
ness had come up all the way from Lon
don to oppose it. Then, asked the
cross-eXaminer:
"You were in the room, sir, and did
YOU not hear the learned judge say there
was not a rag of case against my I'M
happy client?"
The prosecuting counsel objected, and
1t was ruled out. But the jurors had
heard 1t, and had heard the answer
stopped The dissatisfaction thus ad-
duced in their minds made them acquit
the prisoner.
Leaving the court that day, the prison
er's counsel asked his opponent: "Why
did you object to that question:"
The latter Indignantly protested that
his adversary must have known that it
could not be put.
Eyes, did" was the answer; "but
knew you, too, and felt sure that you
would object at the right time. But you
should have waited for the answer, as
1t would have been No."

sence of the regular pastor, hastily
drawn to another part of the state by
the death of relative. Col. Holiday
opened the letter, and, reading its con-
tents, conceived the idea OF acting as
his roommate's sub. relates the Pitts
burg Dispatch.
So he donned one Of the suits OF his
friends. He was thin then and looked
much more ministerial than he does
now, and he made quite serene, SOL
emn and religious presentation. He
drove out to the church, was heartily
welcomed, and he delivered one OF the
strongest sermons that had been heard
in that section for many years. He
was eloquent and knew just enough
Of the Good Book to avoid pitfalls.
His congregation was tickled TO-
death and the colonel thought he
could escape with the "V' they passed
out to him, but they insisted that he
should go home with one Of the elders
for dinner. The colonel chafed at the
super-religious atmosphere he was
compelled to throw about him. There
were blessings and prayer meetings
galore, and as he remembers 1t, the
one light spot in the dark and gloomy
background of that distant past was
the great plate of apple pie in the CEN
ter OF every table he approached.
The colonel finally escaped back to
| nA%h n
the circumstances until one day tall,
brawny farmer, under the leadership
Of the college president, strobe into
the gymnasium where the pseudo
preacher was practicing. There was
blood in his eye and his fierce stride
forward was so menacing that the col
onel thought discretion the better part
of valor and he escaped through a
window.
1t appears that the congregation was
so delighted with the effort Of their
supply that they wanted him again,
and knowing only his name they had
encountered the real article In his
room. OF course, there were questions
asked and explanations which re-
vealed the trick Holiday had played.
Then the college president had been
sought and the farmer moved through
the student body to pick out and iden-
tify the culprit. 1t is needless to say
that Col. Holiday graduated with first
honors only after the most diligent
study after that That was why he
forsook all thought of "the cloth" and
took up railroading as a profession.

PEACOCK PLUMES POPULAR.
Once Thought to Be Unlucky, but
now Appear in Up-to-Date
Ornamentation.

For centuries many people have had
dread of peacock feathers, fearing that
the wearing of them would bring evil
fortune. The superstition has nothing
to warrant its existence save its age,
for there seems to be little foundation
in history for it. Recently the publish
ers of a well-known English magazine
we're forcibly reminded of this when
they issued their holiday number with
an elaborate peacock design on the
cover.
The magazine found no sale on the
news stands and the publishers were
actually obliged to recall the issue and
provide a new decoration.
Whether it would be possible to make
10 popular is hard to tell. Perhaps it
might be done if fashion should take
It in hand as she has the peacock feather
design. The colorings are rich and dark
toned and are used for hats, gowns and
ribbons in every variety of style.
Lady Curzon, vicereine of India, Is
surely not prejudiced against the pea
cock feather, for she has an entire gown
made of the applied peacock eyes. 1t is
like a magnifcently embroidered velvet
and marvellous in coloring.
Stunning buttons are seen made to imi-
tate the peacock eye. They seem to have
been designed purposely for the green
and blue changeable taffeta walking
suits.
The peacock design appears also In
belt buckles, hatpins, brooches and set
in long chains, with charm Of single
eye inclosed in glass, supposed to be as
lucky as the four-leaf clover. One
unique design seen at the opera was a
comb for the back hair Of French gray
silver. A peacock feather, exquisitely
carved, turned over the top, and the
"eye" was a combination Of oriental
stones in richest greens and blues.
A few unusual ornaments like this in
woman's jewel box add a charming
touch to the tiresome sameness Of fash
