acquainted him with the success of my
German miners in extracting gold
from Leadhills in the Clydesdale, and |
showed him my newly coined pieces
He was so condescendingly pleased
and interested that he begged the priv
ilege of having his own bars of metal
coined in my mint, in order TO dls-
burse his expenses in the coin of the
realm. and also to send some of our
bonnet pieces as specimens to France

asked it; secondly, / was glad to have
some account of his expenditure.

these coins closely, and you imagined
thatgI was suspicious of the purity of
the metal. This was not so. told
my mint master to coin all the bars
the ambassador gave him, to keep a
strict account of the issue, and to mark
each piece with the letter F. on the
margin. find three of the coins
which we received tonight bearing
this private mark; therefore, they
have passed through the hands Of the
French ambassador to the alchemist. :
Sir David gave forth an explanation
of surprise. He left his seat, took the
bonnet pieces from his pocket and
placed them under the lamp.
Now said the King, you need
sharp eyes to detect this mark, but
there it is. and there, and there. Let
us look a little closer into the object
of France. The English King is my
uncle, and France fears that will
keep the peace with my neighbor; so.

.tion?"
THAT is quite true, your Majesty;
but / suppose the line must be drawn
somewhere, and l imagine he purposes
to enrich only those of the highest
rank as being more p werful than the
yeomen."
Then we come back Davie, to what
/ said before; why exclude the King,
who is of higher rank than any no
BILE %
II have already confessed. your Ma
jesty, that l cannot fathom his mo-
tives.''
We'll, you see at what we have ar
rived. This foreigner wishes to influ-
ence those who can influence the
King. He wishes to have among his
audience none but those belonging to
the court. He has some project that
he dare not place before the King. We
will now return to the consideration of
that project. In the first place, the
man is not an Italian. Did a scholar
like you, Davie, fail to notice that
when he was in want of a word, it
was French word he used? He is,
therefore, no Italian, but a Frenchman
masquerading as an Italian. There
fore, the project, whatever it is, per-
tains to France, and it is his desire
that this shall not be known. Now
what does France most desire Scot
land to do at this moment"
"It thinks we should avenge FIod-
den; and many belonging to the court
are in agreement with France on this
point
Has your necromancer ever men
toned Flodden?"
Once or twice he spoke Of it with
regret
Il thought So" continued the King;
land now hope you are beginning to
see his design"
What your Majesty says is very in
genious; but If l may be permitted to
raise an objection to the theory, I
would ask your Majesty why this was
not done through the French Embas-
sador. French gold has been used be-
fore now in the Scottish court; and it
seems to me that great nation like
France would not stoop to enlist the
devices of charlatan, If this man be a
charlatan."
"Ah, now we enter. the domain of
State secrets, Davie, and there is
where a King has an advantage over
the commoner. Some while ago the
French ambassador offered me a sub
sidy. Now I am not SO avaricious as

me and learns that such, indeed, IS
my intention. France resolves to leave

by corrupting with gold coined in my

Italians head comes off, and thus in
some small measure will l avenge
Flodden."
Sir David LINDSAY sat meditatively
silent for some moments while the
King in angry impatience strode up
and down the small limits of the room.
When the heat of his Majesty's tenn
per had partially cooled. Sir David
spoke with something Of diplomatic
shrewdness.
IT never before realized the depth
and penetration of your Majesty s

come Of recent correspondence between Sec
retary Wilson and Mr. Hubbard, in which the
latter called on the secretary to make him
public apology because he had some years ago
called the secretarys attention to alleged leaks
and no notice had been taken of the suggestion
The secretary wrote a tart reply. in which he in
formed Mr Hubbard that he owed no one an
apology, as he had done his duty to the best of
his ability. and when he got anything that
looked like facts he promptly sent 1t to the
Secret Service officers to hunt down.
The case to which Mr.. Hubbard referred in
his recent letter to the Secretary occurred in
1900 On December 20 Of that year Mr Hub
bard sent the Secretary certain papers. showing
that a Mr.. Steinberge- wanted to sell inforrna-
tion TO a New-York cotton brokerage firm, al
leging that he could get it in advance from the
Department Secretary Wilson Immediately
turned the matter over to the Secret Service Of
hcers but in about a week Chief Wilkie re-
ported that 1T looks Ike an attempt of Stein
berger TO bUnco the New-York firm" After al
lowing TWO months to elapse and not hearing
anything further, the Secretary on March %
1901. called on the Secret Service for informa-
ton as TO whether they had made any dis
coveries. On the following day Mr.. Gage. the
Secretary Of the Treasury. replied follows:
The action Of this man who wanted 10 sell in
formation was done with the hope of being able
TO sell information, but as d matter of fact his
efforts TO obtain the advance information failed
as ne received no assistance from the person in
Washington on whom he depended for informa-
ton.
This report Of Mr.. Gage was transmitted TO
Mr.. Hubbard by Secretary Wilson the next day
and the matter allowed TO drop. But In
January. 1902, Mr.. Hubbard complained of hav-
ing been advised that Southern ginners were
sending 10 the Department returns Of their op-
erations bearing date of December 22 or %
and" said Mr.. Hubbard. I am unable TO un-
derstand why additional returns from ginners
should be obtained, since the result is TO be pub
hshed' 1t seems, however that the Depart
ment Of Agriculture had not called for any gin
ners' statistics at that time, but the circulars
had been issued from the census bureau.
In the same month Mr.. Hubbard wrote to the
Department Of Agriculture asking for certain in
formation on cotton, but the Secretary, in the
course Of q sharp letter denying the request,
written under date Of January IL 1902 said:
We take the ground here that nothing goes
out unless II goes TO the whole people. We have
faVOrites'
secretary Wilson to-day permitted the examt-
nation Of the correspondence in order TO show
that as far back as five years ago he had taken
prompt action to discover any leaks in his office.

STREETC4RS POPULAR.
In Spite of Sub7cay and Il" Sur-
face Road Receipts Increase.

Despite the competition from the subway, as
well as the elevated roads, the gross earnings
last month Of the Metropolitan Street Railway
system, embracing all the lines Of the New-York
City Railway Company, were the largest for any
June in its history, aggregating S1.S87, S34. The
earnings for June. 1904, were 81, sos O65 or
about $1,000 less than last months; for June
1903, Sl,764,I9S. The figures for last month
thus represent an increase Of about S123, 900
over the corresponding month two years ago.
The record month OF the Metropolitan system
was May, 1903, when the gross earnings were
S1,94S 79J If June were not q short month and
the average daily receipts had been maintained
for the additional day. the record made in May,
1903, would have been surpassed last month.
In the months Immediately following the open
ing Of the subway. late last October. the Metro
politan's earnings fell of sharply. The Metro
ploitan's statement for the three months ended
March 81, which was the first covering a full
quarters operation OF the system in competition
with both the subway and elevated lines of the
InterborOugh system, showed gross earnings of
only So 639, ,46S, representing considerable fall
ing off in receipts, which was due 10 two
roads to the underground lines and exceptionally
severe weather in the winter months covered by
the statement The record showing for June
also is doubtless due TO two causes. the normal
growth Of traffic and the abandonment OF the
subway by many thousands Of persons unable to
endure the heat and the atmosphere Of the
underground lines.
