The Star Chamber.

The old tribunal which figures so ex.
tensively in the history of Charles 1.
as the star chamber" is said to have
received the name from the fact that
the roof of the apartment in which
the tribunal sat was decorated with
gilt stars. Another explanation is that
it took its name from the "starres," or
Jewish bonds, which at one time had
been kept in it.

The party had arranged to go down the
bay in the launch to gun. The launch had
just been occupied and was being al

was a sudden flash and report. Mrs,
Norman was hurriedly placed in a gum
ming skiff alongside and one Of the party
returned to investigate the trouble. It took
only few minutes for flames to envelope
the craft and the launch was hurriedly
abandoned. The gasoline fed the fire and
frequent explosions showed that the shells
which had been loaded on for the pro-
posed cunning trip had been attacked. The
explosion of the hundreds of shells sound
like extended musketry fire and were
heard for a distance.
With a last look at their launch the
