extraordinary mares nest which
the mind of man could possibly
conceive. Do you mean to tell me,
Mr.. Ducaine, that Col. Ray went
SO far as to charge Blenayon to
his face with being in league with
this person."
"He certainly did, sir"
"And Blenavon? Oh, Ray is mad,
stark ,mad!"
Your son denied, it sir" I an

Denied i'll! OF course he did.
What followed?'
Col. Ray was very forcible and
very imperative, sir" / answered.
HE insted upon Lord Blenavon
leaving England at once"
"Well?"
Lord Blenavon consented to
do so, sir" said quietly.
I saw the veins in the dukes
forehead stand out like whipcords.
He began a sentence and left it un-
finished He was in that condi-
ton when words are impotent. :.
Can you tell me, Mr.. Ducaine,'

Col. Ray could have made use of
to induce my son to consent to this
extraordinary proceeding?"

intimacy with Mrs. Smith-Lessing

"Pshaw!" the duke interrupted.
"Blenavon's intrigues are foolish
enough, but they are beside the
mark. l want to know what further
argument or inducement Col. Ray
used. l understand neither why
Ray desired to get rid of my son,
nor why my son obeyed his ridicu-

Col. Ray will doubtless have

KING EDWARD
CALLEDIDEAL !.
WEEK-ENDER
English Monarch Democrat
ically Received as Pri-
vate Person.
ROYAL GUEST FOND OF
HUNTING AND BRIDGE

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-King Ed
ward after his "cupss at Marien-
bad, paid q visit to Lord and Lady
Savns at Ruqord Abbey for the
Doncaster races, after which he
went to stag with. ofr Archibald
Ednundstone, Whose wife is sis
ter of the Hon. Mrg George KEEP
pei, at his plass - Scotland. This
was a great homer ter ~, M1Dund-
stone family, which alsAe19h of
ancient lineage, docs not stand 80
high in the social scale that it can
number many royal visits In it's
annals. Queen Victoria would new
er visit anyone below the rank Of
an earl, but King Edward is not
such a stickler for form and has
not infrequently been the guest of
'commoners."
One of his subjects who has en-
tertained the king has described
him as 1.-The ideal guest" His
majesty, according to this author
ity, is considerable to degree and
never allows his kingly rank to be
unduly emphasized when paying a
visit, while 1t seems to be his one
tim to set his host and hostess at
their ease and to relieve them of
any undue anxiety or worry upon
his own behalf
When, for instance. he had his
unfortunate accident at the house
OF the late Baron Ferdinand Roths-
child few years ago, by which he
displaced cartiglage of one of
his knees, his first remark to those
of his household who were about
him was:
This is really too bad--to come
to mans house and cause him all
this fuss and annoyance"
Guest Lists Submitted.
There are certain well-defined
laws of etiquette that have to be
observed when the king honors
any of his subjects with a visit.
In the first place, a list of those
whom it is proposed to invite to
meet him must be submitted to
him throuh his private secretary
for his approval. The king scru-
tinizes the list carefully, and often
draws his pen through names of
people whom he has for one reason
or another no desire to meet.
1t is so tacitly understood that
these visits of the king are quite
private and that for a few days he
desires to lay aside his robes as
monarch and to be treated merely
as distinguished guest. No par
ticular ceremony Is therefore OBJ
served. His host, of course, meets
IShim at the railway station, should
he be arriving by train, or at the
entrance to his house should-as
is usually the case at the present
time-the king travel by motor
car. The hostess. of course, re-
ceives the king In her drawing
room in the ordinary course. The
same procedure Is observed when
he departs.
Only One Attendant.
To give his host and hostess as
little trouble as possible, the king
makes it rule never to be accom-
panied by more than one equerry
upon these private visits, and the
queen similarly limits herself with
regard to her ladies' In waiting, the
Hon. Miss Charlotte Knollys being
as a general rule her sole COM
panion.

1T Is unnecessary for you to ash
me that, SIR" I answered quietly
Col. Ray will doubtless have some
explanation. He is a man of vigor-
GUS temper, and I fancy that Lord
Blenavon was not quite himself
The duke rose.
IF you are ready, Angela" he
said, 1--WE will not detain Mr.. Du
caine further"
You will allow me to walk with
you to the house, sir" / begged.
He shook his head.

you," he said. my daughter will
give me her arm"

the lamp over my head to light
them on their way. With slow
uncertain steps, and leaning heav

blackness of the plantation.

CHAPTER xxx.
The Link in the Chain

ne LINK IN the Cndin
Practically for three days and
three nights the council sat contin-
ually. There was no pretense now
at recreation, no other guests. We
worked, all of us, from the duke
downwards, unflaggingly and with
very little respite. When at last
the end came, my padlocked note

of hieroglyphics, held the principal
material for three schemes Of coast
defense, each one considered sepa-
rately and supported by mass of
detail as to transport, commissariat
and many minor points.

council departed by special train

called a search warrant, Il believe.

vice by Way Of Newfoundland.

St. Johns, N. F., Sept. 15.-The Di-
rect United States Gable Company has
informed the Newfoundland govern
ment that hereafter it wills operate it's
transatlantic cable service by way of
Newfoundland. The company has
agreed to pay the landing tax required
by the colonial statute. The premier
of Newfoundland. Sir Edward Morris,
declares that this latest development
in the cable situation shows that he
had ample warrant for his recent re-
fusal to permit the Commercial Cable
Company to establish a cable station
here. The ministry of Sir Rober.
Bond, which Immediately preceded
that of Sir Edward. entered into a
contract with the Commercial Cable
Company permitting that company to
connect its lines with this colony, but
shortly afterwards Sir Edward became
premier and declined to ratify this
contract, on the ground that it gave
the company undue privileges.
