Lord Derby he was raised to the peer age as Lord St. Leonards
 It goes without saying that there were not lacking envious persons to twit him with his former occupation, and this story is told: Once when ad- dressing a crowd in the interest of his own candidacy to Parliament man called out to know what soap was worth and how father was made.
 T am particularly obliged to that gentleman for reminding me of my or igin," said Sir Edward. Tt is true that I am barber's son and was once myself a barber. If the gentleman who so politely reminded me of these facts had been a barber he shows here that he would have remained one to the end of his life"
 Then there was Charles Abbott. n barber's son, Ia scrubby little lad who used to walt on his father with razors and pewter bowl" Abbott was also made a peer of England.

 English literature has been masa richer by at least three barbers
 Jeremy Taylor was brought up in his fathers shop at Cambridge, England He is perhaps the most famous Inf all the barbers, his books remaining nonu- lar after two hundred and fifty vaars A critic says truthfully that his work is especially literary. Weiehtv will argument, his sermons and books of devotion are still read among us for their sweet and deep devotion and their rapidly flowing and poetic elo- quence.

 The greatest English naval poet was Charles Dibdin and taking rank as soc- ond was Vim. Falcomer He was barber in Edinburgh until his poen, "The shipwreck" not only made hin, famous but won him a career in tba royal navy, This poem, by the wav was based on his own experience When yet young he had a chance to take a voyage on an English vesseI bound for Venice.

voyage and Its disastrous termination formed the subject of his poem. Strangely enough the terrors of the sea which he so eloquently describes did not deter him from following it, and he was lost in the wreck of anoth- CT ship a few years later.
 Allan Ramsay, the Scottish poet who died the year before the birth of Burns is justly celebrated in theliterA ature of England. "The Gentle sbep- herd" is especially worthy of remem- brance, being pure, tender and gen. uine picture of Scottish life and love among the poor in the country. He carried on the song of rural life and love and humor which Burns perfect ed. Allan Ramsay was at one time a prosperous wig maker.
 Benjamin Franklin made more than national reputation With his Poor Richards Almanac" No doubt Frank lin got the name for his almanac from William Winstanley, the barber who issued the Poor Robin" almanacs 1882 onward. It was this same barber who set the example of publishing the almanac joke"
 Charles Day, who made a fortune in blacking, was a barber before he in- vented his famous shoe polish. Craggs. who was secretary of the South Sea. bubble, was barber turned promoter. At one time he was enormously wealthy. Being a fearless plunger he went as far as the most daring in his speculations and when the crash came his fortune went with it and he com committed suicide.
 1 Giovanni Belzoni, who learned the i barberls trade in Padua, had varied career, ending in his enrichment. He ' removed to Rome when young man. but went to England in 1903, Nine years later he began travelling, in time be- coming one of the most gifted Egyp- tian explorers. He removed young Memnon" from Thebes to England, was the first to penetrate into the sec- ond great pyramid of Ghizeh and opened up several splendid tombs.
 Few barbers, however, have been as successful as the penurious and miser- ly speculator of London, John Courtois. He did not hesitate to pocket stray penny when in his best circumstances. It is related that Lord Gage, at meeting of the East Indian company, once found Courtois present.
 "Ah, Courtois, what are you doing here?" he asked.
 T am here to vote, my lord" was the answes.
 T am a proprietor and have four votes" said the ex-barber.
 "'Ah, indeed! Well, before we go to vote suppose you fix my curls a bit, Courtois"
 And the wealthy proprietor arranged the curls deftly, pocketng the fee gladly. although at his death short while afterward he left a fortune of million dollars.-Memphis Commercial Appeal.

IAN ARMY INCIDENT IN RUSSIA


 Twenty men of the Modlinski Infant ry regiment at odessa were arrested on suspicion of having posted on the in- ner side of the barrack gate red bor- dered placard bearing the legend: I've. the rank and file of the Mod llnski Rifles, unanimously vote that every man of the Czars only remain ing loyal regiment, the semenovski Lifeguards be raised to the rank of full general preparatary to the open ing of the next Japanese war, which will be fought, on Russia's side, ex- clusively by commissioned officers and Cossacks, the rank and file of the army of the line having decided to de- l cline all further service in the Far East"
 This refers to the Czars adulatory address a few days ago, to the sene- novski regiment at Peterhof. Eight months ago the same regiment was called to Tsarkoe-Selo to receive the personal thanks of the monarch for the butchery of some six hundred citizens of Moscow.-From the Pail Mall Ga- l zette.

Never in the history of the jewelry trade has the fall season opened so auspiciously as has the present one. It is such times as these, when money is plentiful, that most people think of buying jewelry, precious stones watch es, silverware and similar articles, and the bulk of sales in this trade this year wil crleate a new record. Learning from experience of the past, manufac- turers are now working to their fullest capacity, and the retail jewellers are buying earlier than ever before The fall season has already been most act i've, and from now to the holidays there is every reason to believe that the de- niand for wares fin the jewelry and kindred trades will far exceed the sup ply.-From the Jewellers Circular Weekly.

wit and ridicule were Lincoln weap-
ons of ofrense and defense, and he
probably laughed more jury cases out
OF court than any other man who ever
practiced at the bar.
II once heard Mr.. Lincoln defend
man in Bloomington against a charge
of passing counterfeit money" Vice
President Stevenson told the writer.
"There was a pretty clear case against
the accused, but when the chief witness
for the people took the stand he stated
that his name was J. Parker Green,
and Lincoln reverted to this. the mo-
ment he rose to croSs-eXamine. why
J. Parker Greene? What did that j.
stand for? John? Well, why didn't
the witness call himself John p. Green!
That was his name, wasn't It? Well.
what was the reason he didn't wish to
be known by his right name? Did j.
Parker Green have anything to conceal,
and If not, why did ]. Parker Green
part his name in that way? And so
OH. OF course, the whole examination
was farcical," Mr.. Stevenson continued,
"but there was something irresistibly
funny in the varying tones and indec-
tlons Of Mr. Lincoln's voice as he rang
the changes upon the mans name; and
at the recess the very boys in the street
took up the slogan and shouted j. Par
ker Green" all over the town. More
over, there was something in Lincolns
way of intoning his questions which
made me suspicious Of the witness, and
to this day have never been able to
rid my mind Of the absurd impression
that there was something not quite
right about ]. Parker Green. It was
all nonsense, Of course, but the jury
must have been affected as I was, for
Green was discredited and the defend
ant went free"

CHAPTER XXI.

When Antonia heard that Lady Betty
had been a second time to the house she
smiled. 1t was not until the following
morning that she knew of her uncle's
illness.
The news was given to her in a letter
from Lady Betty, a cleverly worded epis-
tie, suggestive of sadness and anxiety
Antonia went at once to the Marchmonts
house. Lady Betty led the way up TO the
.;ck rocr with q great parade of care.
You will promise me not to tax too
much, won't you, Antonia?" she said.
"Dr. Anderson has given strict orders
that he must be kept very, very quiet"
When she stood by her uncle's bedside
and looked at him, Antonia had a great
shock.
II am going to leave Antonia with You,
Edward, hut you must promise me not to
talk"
The instant she had closed the door and
had seen that Antonia was safe for some
hours, she went to her own room and
walked to and fro restlessly, asking her
self what would be the best means to get
at Gerald.
She had certain monkey-like touches
of cleverness. Had she been in differ
ent sphere OF life, possibly her imitation
of other peoples handwriting might have
led to disastrous results. As it was, it
never seemed to enter her mind that she
was doing dishonest thing when she
took up her pen and carefully setting
letter of Antonia's in front of her, began
to scribble few hurried words in pencil.
Dear Sir Gerald" she wrote, 81 want
to see you very much. Could you possi-
bly, come and meet me in the park in
about an hours time? My uncle Is very
i'll, and / am with him at this vcry mo-

but il You will stand with me and help

pockets and eyed Ben. He was very much
inclined to be suspicious. The very sim
plicity and bluntness of this man who
spoke to him armed instead of disarmed
him.
Il am listening" he said. go on;
say out what you've got to say"
Just now" said Ben, ~ heard you
speak of young man who lately called
and demanded to see Sir Gerald Tenby.
Maybe l am wrong to imagine that this
young man has anything to do with the
one / am looking for; still, when ones
heart is full of doubt and trouble, one
seizes on the smallest thing that looks like
hope. / am looking for one of the best
lads that was ever born into the world;
for a young man who has been shame
fully wronged, and who suffered in pa
tience till others older than he, and per-
haps wiser, urged him to fight to get back
his own, to denounce his enemies. I am
looking for the man in whose shoes Sir
Gerald Tenby is now Standing
Il don't understand you," said Ste
phens; but it was evident that he was
impressed. ''Sir Gerald succeeded to old
Sir Maurice Tenby, and he is dead sure
enough"
"Ay, right enough, forgot" said Ben,
sadly, you don't belong to the old part,
and to most folk my lad has passed as
dead but he is not dead. And he is the
man l am looking for-son of old Sir
Maurice Tenby and rightful owner of the
title and the money"
A whistle escaped from Stephens lips.
He reached out his hand and gripped Ben
by the wrist.
Twill you swear thatT" he said, eager
ly. You have given me the very clew
wanted. If you listened to what passed
between us tonight, ycYdnust have heard
me speak out pretty pi6fn. tell you, /
had my doubt the very moment l saw Sir
Gerald's face when that young man went
into the ROOM"
Describe him to me, man ~ said Ben,
eagerly; and Stephens did so.
That's my lad" said Ben, sadly. "He
left me that morning to go out and start
on the work he had set himself. From
that morning to this night not a sign of
him has been given to me. What have
they done with him? Where is he?'
'If the man you are looking for ia
Hubert Tenby," said Stephens, ''how is
it ne has never come forward before"
Its a long story" said Ben, quietly.
IF we are working together, you have
a right to know it. Come back with me
to my hotel. IT is late, but I fancy
they will let you come in, especially if
tell them you are going to help me-"
Stephens followed Ben into cab and
sat beside him in silence.
