Baby's kimonos are made I'm many

drawn IN the same way at tie back

LOUISA MORLAND.
The curt ineiyility of the note
brought an angry flush to the boys
face. Who was Sir Philip NIorland
that he should dare 10 offer this insult
TO a lady? Evidently a relative, and n
near one, for Morland was his moth
er's name, and his own Christian name
suggested a family connection. Yet she
had never spoken of any such person
Three other letters of preceding dates
showed that Louisa Morland" kept ac-
curate reckoning. There were half
dozen more, from a firm of solicitors.
Some of these were merely formal ac-
acknowledgements of letters received and
forwarded, but one stated that they
''were instructed by Lady Morland to
inform Mrs. Arson that Sir Philip Nor

That was all. Philip sprang up with
face aflame. He was alone in the
house now, alone with his dead mother
He went upstairs, with the letters

~ Friday evening, March 10,
thunderstorm Of unusual VIC
~ was notably peculiar in GER
tain Of its aspects. The weather was
cold and sho*ery, a typical day of the
March equinox. Under such conditions
barometric pressure remains fixed rath-
er than variable, yet many whose bust
ness or hobby it Is to record such facts
observed a rapid shrinkage Of the mer-
curry column between the hours of 6
and 7. A deluge Of rain fell for many
minutes and was followed about 7:30
D. N. by mad turmoil of thunder and
an astounding electrical display not
often witnessed beyond the confines Of
the giant mountain ranges of the world.
So violent and unnerving was the
Outburst that the social life of Lon
don was paralyzed for the hour. The
alter parties. diners in the fashionable
restaurants, the greater millions anx-
iOus to get away from Offices and shops,
those eager alike to enter and leave
the charmed circle of the four mile ra-
dius, were ruthlessly hidden to wait
while the awesome forces of nature
made mad racket in the streets. All
horsefesh was afraid. The drivers of
cabs and omnibuses were unable to
make progress. They had sufficient
ado to restrain their maddened ami
mails from adding the havoc Of blind
charges through the streets TO the gen.
eral confusion caused by the warning
elements. Telegraph and telephone
wires became not only useless, but
dangerous. and the suburban train
service was consequently plunged into
a tangle from which it was not extri-
Gated until midnight
So general was the confusion, so
widespread the public alarm, that the
sudden cessation of the uproar at
s O'Clock caused more prayers of thank
fulness to be uttered in the metropolis
