Where Mark Twain Had Gone.

When Mark Twain was working
hard on one of his earlier books that
brought him fame he sailed for Eu-
rope with his family. He kept up his
writing on shipboard. leaving 1t only
for brief recreations. One day an ap-
preaching storm drove him to the
cabin. and as he retired to work he
left word with his daughter, then a
very little girl. to explain his absence.
IF they ask for me-" he said to her.
SAY that won't be long; have only
gone to write an anecdote" A little
later passenger accosted the child:
Where has your father gomez" He
won't be gone long" lisped the child;
"he'th only going to ride a nanny.

This makes him hurry all the more,
and his horse is quite exhausted when
he descends the hill past the convent
and pauses at the little inn near the
famous water Of Orezza.
The American has heard of their
curious powers. and asks for some, as
he gazes languidly on the communal
of the little village. around which the
men are still clustering.
The heat has been tremendous; his
speed has been quite great; the hills

"Tomasso," exclaims Edwin, add
ing: In Gods name, where Is my
wife?"
"Diavolo. of course, you have come
here to find her. At the fork OF the
Bastia road, l thought the Lucchese
captured my mistress and myself and
forced US to drive toward the east.
Coming over the mountains, their Ian

told Marina, but when l got out to
water the horses at the little fountain
up near Pietra, two of them struck me
insensible and l awoke and found my
self here. But. Signore, l beg you to
note one thing. Your true wife and
my honored mistress believes she was
rescued from the Lucchese' by Cipri-
ano Danella. and she is grateful to
him. Get me to the light that l may
aid you" The old Corsican has faint
ly staggered up; a moment later he is
pulled from the vault by the strong
hands of Anstruther and the detective.
This is old Tomasso Monaldi." says
Edwin shortly, who was supposed to
be killed"

John Morley was born at Blackburn,
England, December "a. 1888. He was
graduated from Chettenham and Lin
coin college. Oxford, and began life
as a barrister In 1867, however, he
was called to the editorship of the
Fortnightly Review. a post which he
held until 1882. From 1880 until 1888
he was likewise editor of the famous
Pail Mall Gazette, leaving his desk
there to go to parliament as the repre-
sentative of Newcastle. He was Irish
secretary in 1856 and again from 1892
to 1895. In 1896 he was returned to
parliament and since gradually
achieved for himself a reputation in
politics, letters and philosophical
thought.
Morley was Gladstone's favorite lieu
tenant when the Grand Old Man
died. He was one of the axious per
sonal friends who watched over the
great premier in his last illness, and
his Life of Gladstone" Is one of his
most notable literary labors
Hall Caine and Andrew Carnegie are
among the close friends of the liberal.
The laird of Skibo is accounted one of
the particular intimates OF Morley, in
a personal way, in the tendency of
their thoughts and aims and otherwise.
Recently Carnegie, well knowing his
friends studious inclination. presented
him with library of 10000 volumes.
one of the finest collections of books
in existence In 1904 Carnegie also
influenced the noted Englishman to
come to America. In Pittsburg Morley
was the guest OF Carnegie and there
delivered his only American lecture.
In an interview in America Morley
said that he, as an English liberal. was
always intensely interested In Amer
as a whole was fascinated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
More than once it has been said that
II John Morley had a vice he might be
premier. As 1t is Morley is too full of
unrelenting rectitude, too barren of ap,
parent passion, to be an English popu-
lar hero. For all that he is man OF
emotions and feeling, but, above them
all, one OF restraint. One never knows
Morley the man, but one can never es-
cape Morley. the exterior, distant. re-
served and unbending.
In politics Morley Is a liberal in
every sense, but he holds the same
reserve Of caution on his theories as
on his public behavior. In religion he
is an agnostic, but not one of the as
sertive kind. He has quick.
keen and delightful sense of hunor, is
one of the most charming OF
companions and is great ia
vorite among women. He is by ma
ture nervous, is quick in temper and
rather impatient. He has no amuse.
ments other than walking. and Is fond
OF music and books. His father wished
to make him a minister OF the gospel
but he fell under the teachings OF John
Stuart Mill. the philosopher. and
thereafter the church was impossible
