suppose it was somewhat presumptuous
for an unknown bachelor and recluse like
myself to think of giving a dance at THE
Hermitage" but Barbara lsrayne's sugges-
ton to that effect was the first thing l
thought of after 1 left the court room, and
/ stopped al Pollicet on my way from Mel
toa the next morning and reminded her of
her promise to act as the committee of ar
engagements. Her enthusiastic response set
tied the matter, and before the day was
over l was actively engaged In fulfilling her
preliminary orders. In fact for the next
few weeks l thought of little else, and the
hours l passed in the company of my com
mittee working up the details of the affair
were the happiest I had ever known At
first had doubted the wisdom of the ven
ture and was prepared to abandon it on
very little pTovOcation, but all my misgiv
lngs vanished under her inspiration and be-

Explanatory Notes
On "Sm Nigel

Herewith we give some explanatory notes
of words and expressions used in this weeks
installment of ''Sir Nigel" Sir Arthur CO.
nan Doyle's great historical romance, which
is appearing serially In the Sunday magazine
section.
Deodand is from the Latin deodandum, O.
thing given to God. In English law from
the earliest times any article or chattel
which had been the immediate cause of the
death of a rational creature was for that
reason given to God-that Is, forfeited TO
the king to be applied to pious uses and
distributed in aims. If a cart ran over
man and killed him the cart was deodand
But the plous object of the forfeiture was
soon lost sight of. and the king might and
often did, cede this right within certain
limits as a private perquisite.
Heriots under old English law were feudaI
services. tributes or fines. such as the best
beast or chattel. payable to the lord of the
fee on the death of the owner, landholder
or vassal.
1nfang and outfang We're generally used
in combination with the word thief 1t
was the feudal right of the lord of a manor
to try and to punish thieves taken within
the manor, and thus In a way came to mean
the profit on felons goods. Outfangthef
was liberty whereby the lord of the manor
was eittDlSu TO call any man dwelling in his
fee and taken for felony In another place
out of his fee to Judgment in his own
court
Escuage-Shield service. The fine or COM
mutation paid by feudal tenants in place
of military service. 1t thus became spe-
Giles of tax.
Tallage-When a scutage or esouage was
paid by military tenants the king tallaged
his town and rural non-niltary tenants to
| raise funds for his expeditions.
| Gabardine-A long. loose coat or cloak
serving the purpose of an overcoat.
(. Shended-Harned. spoiled, runined or de-
| stroyed. The word has the same origin
as shame as to put to shame, disgrace,
etc.
Secundum Notwithstanding to the law.
Intra vires--Within the legal or eonstitu-
| tional power of person, court or corpora

said to be ultra vires-that Is, beyond its
scope or legal powers-and this Is more
commonly used than It's opposite, intra
wires.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
Some Facts Concerning II That Are
Not Generally Known.


Not Generally Known.
Though every schoolboy presumably
knows to a nicely where the Cape OF
Good Hope is situated. there does un-
doubtedly prevail In less enlightened
circles some vagueness Of conception
as to the exact locality Of that cele-
brated headland. Even the gentle
reader Is family conscious Of uncer-
tainty and answers with a briskness
not born Of conviction: 1.-The Cape Of
Good Hope? Why. of course know
where 1t Is. Down at the end Of South
Africa" Gentle reader you are not
very far out. fifty or a hundred miles
perhaps. And, as you say. 1t Is not
of the slightest consequence in prac-
tical point of view.
The Cape Of Good Hope lies at a
considerable distance from the end and
Is, In fact, the middle Of the three
pomontories. severally inconspicuous,
which jointly terminate a peninsula,
some twenty miles in length, forming
the barrier between False bay and the
Atlantic ocean on the west. These three
headlands, lying near together and
commonly undivided on map Of mod
crate scale, are locally designated
