Market Terribly Grammar School
boosted of a trench professor-one
John Henry, English by eompulsion,
French by birth and training. Every
body could see that by his manner,
his dress, his tall, furry French hat,
his silver buckled French shoes. lie
was Il diminutive, courtier-like gen.
tleman, rather shabby on his pittanee
Of a hundred pounds n year, but none
the less proud of his ancestry. We
believed him TO be of royal blood.
Yet we did not show respect, even for
his attainments. Indeed, with his in
significant stature and his absent
mindedness, he was something of a
butt for raw jokes. l remember so
well the winter Qor it led Inc to her

life) when he straved thoughtlessly
into the midst of a SNOWFALL fight be-
tween classes ON the school green.

the old professor was well-nigh I'M

him in a hanson, and took him to
his home.
A tiny cottage, OF n corner near the
outskirts of town, where the river
drive swept into our little park-how
often | remembered it in after days.
There adelaide and her father spent
their quiet, happy life. The professor
was absorbed in his books: the
daughter moved quietly around tie
house. or attended her flowers. So
it was when l called a few nights
later to inquire as to Mr.. HeAry's
condition. The Christmas holidays
were ON. l had ample leisure. And
what a team love and leisure make.
For two years more old Market
Ferriby was heaven. | think 1

others that he would not find it nee

hours studying a pair of eyes and a
pretty face and the kind Of voice

next dooryard, and gave their tribute
to another. The vines had come up
and run to seed twice since she
picked their blossoms. Neighbors
said the professor and his daughter
left suddenly. Some one heard him
exclaim to some one else-'I 60 back
TO my kingly rights. l am Il mon
arch.' That was all. Something
clutched at my throat. l was hardly

l went to Paris and studied the
great newspapers for months past.
One morning | found in a year old
American New York Herald, refer
ence to the little kingdom of Barrat-
aria, an island in the northern seas.
The writer told of great fetes In the
little town of a thousand souls over
the return of its king, driven out dur
ing a revolution some years before.
Then my heart went sick, for there
was a picture of little Adelaide, as
the kings daughter, wearing a quaint
lace headdress with gold ornaments
around the ears. The old love re-
kindled. l packed my grip and de-
parted for Barrataria on the night
train.
Barrataria consisted of a city of
some four thousand souls, on a two
h~undred-acre island, reached by long,
heavy bridges from the mainland. II
was an elevated plain, built up solid
with residences and warehouses. It's
people were well-to-do. Many of
them dried shiploads of herring and
sole, storing their packages of fra
grant fish under open sheds, or in
loosely built frame barns. Others
operated big steamship lines, spend
ing their days at business and their
resting hours in B~arrataria. Others
were gentlemen of leisure and gam
blers. They anne from several near
by provinces. And presently they
we're intermarrying and rearing sons
with more money than brains. 1t is
no wonder that the yoters-the native
born were turbulent. When | ar
rived a new party had been organ
lied; some kind of an anti, or may be
a liberal. Anyhow the little town was
broken up into cliques. and they were

City Hall, Government troops sat on

r ARTHUR PAGET.

Homes and Family Legends" "Sud-
denly" so the story runs, "a cold blast
stole into the lady's room, eXtinguish-
ing the light by her bedside. She saw
a tall, mailed figure pass into the
| dfessing-room. Immediately there.
| after there was q shrek from her child
in an adjoining room. Her maternal
instinct was aroused. She rushed into
the dressing-room and found the
child in an agony of fear. 1t described
what 1t had seen as IA giant who
| came and leaned over its face"
The operation Mrs Arthur Paget I'M
derwent recently at the hands of Sir
Alfred Fripp was a very delicate and
wonderful one, though thoroughly sue
| cessful. More than a year ago Mrs,
Paget fell down an elevator shaft and
fractured her thigh. The bone failed
to mend and in spite of an operation
and a special course of treatment I'M
der Prof. Haffa, the great Berlin spe-
ist, Sir Alfred Fripp took a photograph
Of the injured bones by mean of the
Roentgen rays, which showed that the
fracture was as bad as ever. 1t was
necessary to make an incision SO that
the fractured bones could be reached.
These were screwed together with
ivory, and it is confidently believed
that in q few months time they will
knit and become strong enough to bear
the weight of the body. In spite of
the agony extending yer thirteen
months which Mrs. Paget has endured,
she is able to drive out every day in an
open carriage. Mrs. Paget recently
visited the new ward at Clearinghouse
Hospital, built from the proceeds of a
great charity bazaar she organized,
and rallied the Minnie Paget ward. 1t
contained many fracture cases and
Mrs. Paget cheered the sufferers great
lv by her hopeful conversation, which
was appreciated even more than the
gifts of fruit and flowers she bore
to each patient.
OF Abdul Hamid's two predecessors.
the one was assassinated, the other
went mad and was deposed. These
two tragieal events have made the
Sultan immensely suspicious. Always
keeping watch against conspirators, he
regards as his most faithful and useful
servitors the men who spend their
time in discovering his enemies, in
finding out their plans, and in prevent
ing the execution of these plans. The
best rewarded will be he who has
given his Majesty the most exhaustive
information.
As everybody wants to obtain such
reward, all keep busy collecting
information. Constantinople is a
perfect paradise for the secret police.
In all classes of Ottoman society you
encounter the secret agent: and the

COURT NOTES.
The Strange Mystery of the Haunt
ed Room" Revealed to Lord CLAIMS.

ca Noom Revealed to Lord CLAIMS.
Lord CLAIMS, son of the Earl and
Countess of ~Strathmore, came of age
September -, and the secret of the
Haunted Room was communicated
to him by his father. This has been
an inYariable practice on such occa-
sions from time immemorial. What
secret the Haunted Room contains is
supposed to be passed on to every
heir as lie attains his majority. Thus
its precise nature Is in the possession
of never more than two persons at the
same time. Conjecture and traditions
say, however, that in the long ago,
when the Lindsays and Ogilvies were
at feud a number of the latter elan
were imprisoned and died in that par
ticular chamber. That the room has
some uncanny peculiarities appears TO
be beyond a doubt, for the late Lord
Strathmore had it walled up after WIS.,
iting the apartment one night TO de-
termine the origin of certain weird
noises which, it is said, had for a long
time disturbed and puzzled him. The
Earl opened the door with n key"
wrote a correspondent to a DR.. Lee,
"and dropped back in a dead swoon
into the arms of his companions: nor
could he ever be induced to open his
lips on the subject afterward." The
experiences of a lady visitor at the cas-
tie are quoted in the book, Haunted
