land. Miss Van Tromp's cousin, Miss
Adele Sherman, was with her.
One morning the two tourists took a
train at a London railway station, in
tending to visit Halloween castle. the
residence of the Duke of Elliston. On
the journey they chatted about the
castle they were going to see, refer
ring occasionally to their guidebook.
A gentleman in the same compartment
sitting opposite them. who had been
buried in his paper, spoke up:
eli you ladies are going to visit Hal
lowen castle 1 fear you will be dis
appointed. 1t will not be open today
to VISITORS"
The girls looked much crestfallen.
The gentleman continued:
"The castle is only shown during the
dukes absence. He returns today"
Miss Sherman. who usually acted as
spokesman. thanked the gentleman fol
his information and asked if there was

any one in service at the castle who
for a handsome tip would make an
exception in their case. To this he
replied:
81 am going to the castle myself and
shall see the duke. l think it probable
that I can secure his permission to
show you through his ancestral abode.
If you will be there'-he took out his
watch-''at, say, 2 o'clock l will let you
know what I can do for you. Ask for
Mr.. Comyns."
The ladies thanked the man for his
courtesy and when the train reached
the station went to an inn. where they
partook of u luncheon, then strolled
up to the castle. They were stopped
at the postern by a lackey, but on
mentioning the name of Comyns they
were conducted to a reception room in
the living apartments of the castle.
After a wait Of ten minutes Mr.. Co.
myns entered and said that he had OBJ
tanned the necessary permission.
Mr.. Comyns was between thirty and
thirty-fve years old. 1t was seldom
that he smiled, but when he did his
face changed from the serious to the
genial. He was apparently a gentle
man. but there are many grades Of
gentlemen in England, and the girls
could not make out to which grade he
belonged. They fancied that he might
attend to some business for the duke
OF was his solicitor or vas there to
sell him something. One point trou-
bled them from the ~frst-they feared
he might not be so respectable,
| though he had avoided the subject of
tips. as to decline a crown or two if
offered to him. They had often re-
ceived favors or what they supposed
were favors from men just as genteel
looking whose palm they had crossed.
Miss Van Tromp determined to watch
his English. If he were not a gentle
man he would surely make a blunder,
perhaps in an unguarded moment drop
an "h."
All this they talked and thought owe

Surprised at this, Miss Van Tromp
asked:

leaving them at Gurdon, which was
the furthest point south. 1t had been
known to go previously.
For the last four or five weeks this
pigeon has been flying along with
the Iron Mountain trains. Some of
the trainmen are said to regard OF as
a hoodoo and fear that its presence
portends some disaster to them, but
az yet no accident has happened to
