Of Turner.
They stopped in front Of "Childe

after examining the canvas closely,
made the startling assertion that the
vase to the right was not a part Of

Mr.. Warnham laughed the idea to
scorn and said 1t was absurd. Mr..
Moran persisted that he was right and
wagered a dinner and a bottle of wine
that he could prove It II he we're given

The wager was accepted. The pic

removed, and. to the establishment Of
the keeper, Mr.. Moran raised the edge
OF the paper, over which. surely
enough, the vase had been painted.

Tricks Of Autograph Hunters.

Some autograph hunters tricks are
revealed in the Connoisseur. George
Eliot was taken in by lady who en-.
listed her sympathy in fictitious social
work. Another wrote to Ruskin o
touching letter Of duplication which
ELECTED no reply. She wrote again In
a tone Of almost piteous entreaty,
but still silence. Then she adopted
another name and address, became
the bogus secretary Of an imaginary
art club for young students In prov.
incial town. and invited Mr.. Ruskin
to come down and deliver an address
The simple-m,nded author wrote back
a long, delightful letter, asking to be
excused from giving an address :, un
til the club had made some progress,
but imparting much admirable coun.
sci and useful rules of Guidance.

~ DICTATES OF CONSCIENCE
Gen. Gordon Went Unarned Through

Gordon to carry no weapon but cane
when leading the imperial troops dur
Ing the TAPPING struggle.
when acting in conjunction with
the Chinese general, San-ko.lins sin.
against either Nankin or Foochow.
Gordon received a message from the
rebel leaders offering submission II
their lives were guaranteed. Having
obtained the consent Of the Chinese
commander, he agreed. The town sur.
rendered. and the three rebel chiefs
appeared before San-ko.lin.sin. He,
seeing that they had not shaved their
heads In sign Of submission. had them
decapitated on the spot Whereupon,
exasperated beyond control by such
treachery, Gordon armed himself with
a revolver, and was Fastening to the
generals tent with the intention Of
chastising him in the most summary
manner for his breach Of faith. when
suddenly he paused, and coming. on
reflection, to the conclusion that his
contemplated act was simple murder,
he threw away his weapon and regis.
tered a vow that, so long as he re.
NAMED in China, he would never
again carry any weapon more formid-
able than a cane"
