OF GOLD.
1t 10 Proof Against Action Of comnno,
Acids.

Pure gold is unaffected by the atmos-
phere either at ordinary temperatures
or when the metal is heated. 1t is al
so proof against the action Of com
mon acids when used singly.
Moreover, it confers it's properties
or less upon copper and silver
when these metals are alleged with
it. Thus, for example, twelve karat
gold will withstand the action of nj.
trio acid and the atmosphere at or.
binary temperature, but some of the
copper will be oxidized during an
healing. Nine parts of gold may be
alleged with ten parts Of platinum in
an ordinary crucIble and fire, but such
ali alloy will not be uniform; q larger
proportion Of platinum will FREQ itself
from the gold on solidifcatiou and a
homogeneous alloy of the two metals
cannot be obtained.

Wouldn't Be Repres.ed.

A youn %gadvocate was engaged in his
first case. He had evidently conned
his argument till he knew it by heart.
Before he had proceeded ten minutes
with his oratorical effort the Judge de-
cided the case in his favor and had
told him SO. Despite this the young
lawyer would not cease. 1t seemed
that he had attained such a momentum
that he could not stop. Finally the
judge leaned forward, and in the po-
litest of tones said: Mr.. Blank, not
outstanding your a.Iuments. the
court has concluded to decide this
case in yow favor"

CHAPTER II.
At Draycott Hall.

The ancient home of the Bretting.
hams is one of the fairest that lie
among the Kentish hills. 1t is a local
tradition that there had been a Bret.
tingham at Draycott Hall since the
Crusades, and that 1T came into the
family when Sir Piers Brettingha1n, a
gallant soldier, returned from the
Holy Wa and brought the news of
her fathers death in Palestine to Mar
jorie Draycott. He told her the sad
news so gently and with so much sym.
pathy that he won the lady's heart and
all the broad acres that went with her
hand.
The chronicles preserved by the
family did not go back so far as the
Crusades. A fire, the unceremonious
treatment of the family treasures by
q party Of Cromwellian soldiers in
search of a royalist fugitive, and vari-
Gus other causes had been at work
during the centuries to leave gaps in
the record of the ancient house. But
the monuments in the old village
church which record the deaths of fair
danes and gallant knights who pore
the name of Buckingham date back
to Tudor days.
1t was only natural in these circum-
stances that the Buckingham for the
time being lord Of Drycott Hall should
be a person of considerable interest
to the good folks of the countryside.
There was more than even the usual
interest aroused when the local Cos
sips met and discussed the latest news
Of Sir Mark Buckingham, the then
representative of the ancient race.
For it was known that that baronet
was past his sixtieth year and had for
some time been ailing. and that a
famous physician had been summoned
from London to consult with the local
doctor as to what certain alarming
symptoms which Sir Mark had lately
developed might mean.
For six-and-twenty years Mark Bret
tingham had borne the title and lived
at the Hall as its master. He was in
India with his regiment when the
death of his uncle, a bachelor, brought
him to his inheritance. He had not
in his youth been particularly friendly
with his uncle, and so his future ten
ants had seer very little of him. But
he soon made himself beloved, and
when, after he had been at Draycott
Hall for a couple Of years, he brought
a young wife homo there was great re-
joicing.
That Mark B~rettingham had preyi-
ously married in India a young Eng.
lishwoman who had gone out as gov.
erness with an English family, few
people on the estate, IL any were
aware.
The marriage was not a happy one
Mrs. Buckingham was undoubtedly 4
young woman of great physical charm,
u very early in her married life she
fell out Of the good graces Of the ladies
who constituted the female society"
OF the up-country station at which the
regiment was CHARTERED. Eighteen
months after the marriage Brethnx.
ham announced that his wife had. gone
to England and taken the baby. a lit
tie boy, with her. Her health had been
failing, he said, and It was thought
we'll that she should not remain in
India.
