for London. 1 had passed him on the
road. without knowing him. l re-
turned to London. Sir Peter had seen
several members OF the government,
meanwhile, and had been privately in
formed that the king was suffering
mentally; and although hopes were en-
tertained that the spell would pass
away, without the necessity of inform
ing the country or parliament, still,
access to him was refused to all by his
physicians. except the members of his
family and immediate household, and
they were charged not to mention busi-
ness to him; 1t would be impossible to
approach him.
When Sir Peter told me this, be-
came SO weak l was forced to sit down.
After few minutes of agony, a desper-
ate resolve came to me. l rose, and
said:
Il have a acknowledgements, but
not impossible. Go with me to the
prince of Wales. He is at Carlton
hou,je, but goes back and forth to
Windsor"
Sir Peter jumped at this poor chance,
and we agreed to go Immediately.
We had left York on a Friday, and
had reached London on the Monday.
Two days had abeen lost in the jour
ney to Kent; and it was now late in
the evening of Wednesday. We had,
luckily. brought our uniforms along;
and. dressing ourselves in them-Sir
Peter with all his orders sewn on his
coat-we called hackney coach and
drove to Carlton house.
When We got there it was about ten
o'clock in the evening. The windows
were brilliantly lighted up, and it was
about the hour that the prince of
Wales was known to be in his best
humor-but the hour when he most
hated to be disturbed.
We descended, and the sentries
passed us through on account Of our
uniforms and Sir Peters decorations
on his breast. We reached the door
and knocked. The porter opened the
door gingerly. when Sir Peter, giving
it kick. walked in, followed by me.
The man attempted to arrest our prog
ress, but Sir Peter said to him,
fiercely:
DO you think. you damned lackey
that you can be insolent to an admiral
in his majesty's service?" The man
apologized humbly and ushered US into
large reception room on the first
floor, saying he would call the gentle
man of the chambers.
We seated ourselves. Even in that
time OF agony. l noted the beauty OF
| the room-indeed, my senses seemed
preternaturally acute. and every In.
! cident Of that dreadful time is deeply
fixed in my mind. The ceiling was Of

Exhaustlno Natural Resources.

Washington.-A bulletin just issued
by the geological survey gives some
startling info Alation on the exhaustion
Of natural resources. The m~t serious
situation ID that with regard to petro-
leum.
Petroleum has been used for less
than fifty years, and 1t Is estimated
that the supply will last only about
twenty-five or thirty years longer. II
production is curtailed and waste
stopped, it may last till the end of the
century.
Animal and vegetable oils will not
begin to supply its place. One billion
cubic feet of natural gas are estimated
to be wasted into the air every twenty
four hours. The gas supply will last
about twenty-five years.
Coal has been extensively mined in
the United States for not much more
than half . century. but the consump-
ton is increasing SO enormously that
II this increase should continue all the
easily accessible coal would be ex.
hausted by the year 204O, and all coal
by the middle Of the twenty-first cen
tury.
Water power will undoubtedly large.
ly take its place. It Is estimated that
within thirty years the best iron ores
will have been exhausted, and that it
will be necessary to resort to ores that
cannot now be worked at profit
This, Of course, means higher prices
unless new and much cheaper pro-
cesses shall have been invented.
Gold, silver and zinc are all SO abun.
dant that the supply is likely to last
for centuries to come. Copper is also
abundant, but is largely in low grade
ores which cannot now be profitably
worked.

"How much did Heney receive dur

what services did he perform?"
He received S23.O00 and performed
no service for the government what
ever during that year." answered Mr..
Tavney.
subsequently. Mr.. Tawney said:
IA . matter Of fact, Mr.. Heney has
not performed any active service for
the last three years. He was ap-
pointed November Z. 1908. and his
active service continued for about
three years. and for which he received

with the 81 900 deficiency for the Do.

Asked BY Mr.. Coz Of Indiana II any
Of this deficiency was due to the en-

cute any trust. Mr.. Tawney. answer
ing in the affirmative, said that suit

Mr.. Bennett Of New York added that
the prosecution Of the turpentine trust
also was responsible for part of 1t.
Mr.. Clark Of Missouri denounced the
appointment Of Incompetent district

the employment Of special counsel.
The practice had grown into fad. he
said, and . very expensive tad. He
declared IL there had been . compe-

Fearful that Mr.. Henry would get .

Treasure tsoarded In india.

All the world knows that gold, silver
and gems are constantly disappearing
in India to swell the hidden store, Of
the people. What no one knows is the
accumulated amount. The late Dun
ming Macleod estimated that there
might be $500, ,000. 900 In hidden gold
alone. OF silver there may be even
more in proportion, rs the silver rupee
has long been the common money cur
rent in India. OF hidden gems no one
has ever been bold enough to estimate
the value.

We were not the only ones who paid
our respects Immediately to Giles

and shook his hand. while think Sir
Thomas did not receive a cordial greet.
ing from q single man or woman in the
hall. although he was known to every
one present.
We got hurried dinner at the tav.
ern, and returned at once to the hall.
1t was about half-past four in the win
ter afternoon. and the day being dark
and lowering. candles were required.
The lord Justices instructions to the
jury were then read. and my heart
sank. as in a dreadful monotone, he
expounded the law to them. Alas! As
long as the statute against the abduc-
tion Of an heiress remained, Giles Yer.
non was guilty Of a capital crime; and
not one word uttered by any one of us
who testified in his behalf did aught
but prove the more strongly that he
had carried Lady Arabella of against
her will.
The jury retired. and. the day having
been fatiguing, the lords justices de-
termined to wait in their retiring room
for an hour, where they could be
called. II the jury promptly reached
verdict This troubled me-this ex-
pectation Of quick decision.
The judges having retired and sus-
pended the sitting of the court. we at
once went over and sat with Giles,
who maintained perfectly his manly
composure. He laughed with Sir Peter
over some Of the events of the fight
between the Ajax and her two enc
mics. complimented Lady Hawkshaw
upon her triumph over the laws of the
land relating to evidence and said
many kind things to Daphne.
While We were in the midst of
cheerful conversation, and not observ-
ant OF what was going on in the other
part Of the hall, We suddenly heard
the crier proclaiming the entrance of
tkeir lordships, and at the same mo-
ment Sir Thomas Vernon entered by
another door. Hanging on his arm
was Lady Arabella Stormont And
then the jury filed in with solemn
faces, and what followed all seemed
to me like some horrid dream.
Although several persons were
moving about, there seemed to me a
dreadful silence; and although the
candles burned, and great hobgoblin
of moon peered in at the windows.
there seemed an awful darkness. And
after time, in which was oppressed
by this ghostly silence and darkness.
i saw the senior lord justice put on a
black cap and sentence Giles Vernon
to be hanged by the neck until he was
dead. that day fortnight
My eyes roved aimlessly around, and
fell at that moment on Lady Arabella
Stormont. A faint smile flickered on
her lovely mouth.
