While Shakespeare no doubt
wrote the tragedy af Hamlet" as
it is found today, he borrowed many
of his data from an earlier writer,
Saxo Grammsticus, Danish his
torian who died about 1904, His
writings were in Latin, and III
Shakespeare's tune they had not
been translated into any modern
language, The story is to be found
in Beileforest's collection OF nov
els, begun in 1864, and an English
translation Of it was published en-
titled The Hystorie of Hamblet,
Prince of Denmarke." Horvendile

Fengon traitorously slays HoFven-

In the second chapter Hamlet coun-
terfeits the madman TO escape the
tyranny of his uncle. Through the
Vaccinations of his uncle he is
tempted by woman, the uncle
thinking thereby to undermine the
prince and find out whether his
madness is counterfeited or net,
In the third chapter Fengon, the
uncle, tries second time to en-
trap Hamlet in polite madness and
causes one Of his councillors to he
secretly hidden in the queens
chamber behind the curtains to
hear what speeches pass between
Hamlet and the queen. Hamlet
kills him and thus escapes danger.
In the fourth chapter Hamlet is
sent to England by Fengon, with
secret letters to have him put to
death. While his companions sleep

MNHE Van Houstons were an oris-

"NHE Van Houstons were an nris-
tocratic family--pcoplc of the
- world-and as happy as most
but for the fact that a family
skeleton lodged in their hearts III the
memory of an older brother - Peter
Van Houston-who had been expelled
from college and after running wild
for time had suddenly ended it all
by forging his fathers name TO Il
check for $4,000, collecting the money
and departing for the west.
At that time his father. Hubert Van
Houston, was one of the rich men of
Wall street. Years before he had
buried his first wife, who left him this
troublesome son, and had married
again, fashionable widow, who duly
presented him with daughter. This
lady comforted him when his boy wenr
away, cared for him through his last
Illness, wept gently when lie died and
after time settled down to enjoy the
money her husband had left exclusive
ly to her and their daughter Elizabeth.
Since then time had brought its GUS
tomary gifts-white hair to Mrs. Van
Houston and husband and children
to her daughter, now Mrs. Marmaduke
Odell
One afternoon at about this time
their legal adviser, Mr.. Clarendon, sat
In his Office at his desk when the door
opened to admit a man of about fifty
years of age, who said, Are you James
ClarendonT Yes, SIR" Legal ad-
wiser for Mrs. Van Houston?" II am,
sir. But what is your business with
me?' II should like to make my WILL"
the man replied. Its a long story,
Have you time to listen?" Go on"
The newcomer leaned forward. "Don't
you know me. Mr.. Clarendon" II do
not" He laughed low, bitter laugh
Forgotten by every one, 1 suppose
The ne'er-do-well, the black sheep"
Mr.. Clarendon looked at him lteenly
''You are not ~ am--Peter Van

The sick man smiled sarcastically.
'Well, 1 guess Pm done for" he
whispered. 1.-THE folks can take-a little
--comfort--now"
Clarendon took his hand. "My dear
friend" he said sadly. ANY parting
messages to your family?"

to catch the whispered words.

then ceased to breathe.
With something cold clutchIng at his

discovered some soiled collars, few
wornout neckties and new pair Of
shoes. In the small, bare room there
was nothing else that could hold or
conceal anything. The lawyer, stun
ned and daZed, walked down the stair
case and out of the house without Il
backward glance.
Outside the fall day had grown gray
er. The wind had risen, raw and
bleak. Mr. Clarendon felt cold and
proceeded on his way shiveringly.
The news of the death of Mr.. Van
Houston had preceded him, so later
when he presented himself at the resi-
dence of the deceased mans family he
found them all assembled in the draw
Ing room. Lurking under looks of de-
corous mournfulness, the lawyer could
detect expressions on their counte-
nances of relief and eXultant JOY. Mr..
Clarendon had put off the telling OF
these unpleasant tidings as long as he
could, and now that the disagreeable
duty was fully upon him he hardly
knew how to proceed.
II am the bearer Of very, very bad
news" he began solemnly.
Mr.. Odell approached him.
