CHAPTER TX.
The Third Earl of Melbourne.

There is hardly a pleasanter room In all
England than the old chamber of the tap
estries they used as a breakfast room at
Melbourne Hall. Situated in the west wing
of the great quadrangle. and giving off I'M
medately from the famous long gallery, it's
tiny lattlced easements permit a view
which reveals at once all the cultivated
beauty of the gardens and the wild wood
land scenery of the park beyond. In a vista
which never falls to win the admiration of
the stranger as 1t has won the love of
many generations who have inhabited that
historic mansion.
1t is not a large room, but It tells much
of the story of the house. its triumphs. IT'S
misfortunes and its giories. Here you have
the time-stained arms of John, the first
baron. whose cinquefoil azure upon a Grim
son banner had been carried high at Agin-
court; here were the crosslets ftchee OF the
house of Mar, whose feminine representa-
tive had come south to wed the third baron
in the days of good King Hal. Fair fingers
had worked these tapestries long ago, walt

lover whom the wars had claimed, or fight

their story of fidelity. 1t had been my

Sample of the First Night In San
Francisco's Unburned Part.

NJ. II. Morse, the San Francisco rep
reSentative of the American Trading
company, has written n letter to the
main office of the company. New York,
telling of the condition he found San
Francisco in when he arrived there the
day of the earthquake, says the New
York Sun. Mr.. Morse had passed the
night in Berkeley. He reached San
Francisco few hours after the shock
and went Immediately to the compa
ny'S offices, which were still standing,
but the building had settled SO that the
heavy Oregon pine doors could not be
forced open. After many attempts to
get into the Office and secure papers
that were in the safe, Mr.. Morse says
he was compelled to abandon this task
when the fire reached the building,
which 1T subsequently consumed.
Mr.. Morse's letter was written from
Berkeley the day following the earth
quake. In speaking of the condition
writes:
IF the fire extends to Twenty-third
street, our little house is likely to be
filed up. The invoice clerk in our of
fee resides on Bern Heights, and last
night his home OF four rooms was filed
with refugees. The floor of every room
was covered with sleeping women and
children, and he stood guard all night

meets the little debutante, and falls

with her repeatedly, and then asks Ii
