went to Stephen and told him that if he would make the offer of marriage there was good hope that Mary would accept and the old folks be willing, even to the extent of giving with the daughter Q dover of $50 on the day of marriage This was quite agreeable to Stephen So he and the members of the family had several conferences doubtless with pleasing anticpations on all hands, con- corning the marriage.

 Here Shakespeare's part in the affair should properly have ended. But events so shaped themselves by unfortunate con- ditions that seven and half years later he was required by peremptory summons to come into court and tell his share in the marriage and in fixing the dover. Hearing of the cause was set for Easter term, 1912. May 7th the court issued "A compulsory to William Shake speare gent and others ad testifcandum inter Stephanum Belott querentem ct Christoferum Mountjoy delft and labelled it returnable immediately. Four days later Shakespeare and two other wit nesses were examined in court in behalf of Bellott'

| for the world, and wished to travel into Spain. He needed additional funds, and Mountjoy was good enough to provide him with six pounds for the journey which. however, Stephen later declares urgently he did not do.
 Near the close of 1904 Stephen, after short time in Spain, returned to the house and shop that had been home to him for six years. It was a question what the young man should do. now that he was his own master Stephen seems not to have seen the way with perfect clearness, or did not have the courage to put his vision into words But Mary's mother understood. If her wisdom did not embrace the race ot man, 1t did at least comprehend the case before her. Her philosophy was very simple and very practical Shakes peare was then living in the Mountjoy home, and went among them from day to day. His nature and capabilities ap- pealed to her, and she yentured to ask him to act as intermediary in a matter where native modesty and delicacy on the one hand and awesome faint-heartedness common to man on the other forbade speech.
 "One day Madame Mountjoy laid the case before Shakespeare. and asked his good offices in making two hearts happy. It was also a matter of good practical business These two young people were skilled in the same trade. and if all should go well they might prosper to- gether. Madame Mountjoy told Shakes peare that if he could bring the young man to- make a proposal of marriage. a dover fitting to their station would be settled upon them at marriage. This was the fair sum of fifty pounds in money of that time, or approximately e400 (near- Iy S20G0) in money of today.
 "shakespeare's traditional reputation for gentleness of spirit and good will and winning disposition is here exemplified in the first actual instance that had reached us.

AN EARLY LOVE STORY OF
 SHAKESPEARE IS UNEARTHED

Tn Harper's for March Prof Charles William Wallace, presents the first ac- count of his discovery of new documents which constitute the most important ad- dition to our knowledge of Shakespeare S life that has been made in the past one hundred and fifty years. The story of Shakespeare life in London is revealed, and his part in curious love story is told in his own deposition. The story In brief is this:
 Shakespeare lived in the family of a man named Mountjoy-a wigmaker. In 1912 Mountjoy's son-in-law, young man named Stephen Bellott brought him into court as defendant, and Shakespeare was called as a witness. In the hearing of the case against Mountjoy the history of the preceding ten or twelve years is recounted.
 Tt appears that in 1898 Mountjoy was persuaded to take Stephen Bellott as an apprentice. Bellotts parents were to pro- vide the boy with his clothing, and Mountjoy was to provide his linen and keep House and shop were in one build ing, and Stephen lived with the family The young man proved an apt pupil and did his work with such skill and good will that he won first the appreciation, then the affection of his master. Apparently the master forgot about the promise of friends to find the boy clothes for he not only did it himself but was well content with hls apprentice and liked him much, gaining. it seems, greatly increased profits in his business through the young mans skill and diligence
 Young Stephen loved his work. But there was also an added inspiration that gave skill to the hand and zest to labor. Side by side with him labored also an- oti:er, Mary, the modest maiden of the household only child of the master. The two grew in skill; and when at the end of the sixth year stephen had finished his apprenticeship and done his finishing piece or master-work that proved him worthy of graduation to self-rnastership, the daughter too had been made perfect in the same trade. The father declared he had made her perfect in that art. But VIC, watching Stephen and Mary from day to day at their work for six years, see and understand better than he.
 And Mary liked Stephen well. yet held her secret guarded save rom her mother and father only. But Stephen now haying nnished his apprenticeship Nonsed

Brussels, February 26.-(Special.)-It has now been arranged that the Interna- tional and Universal Exhibition of Brus- April 2s The King and Queen will be present and the ceremony, being the first taking place since King Alberts ac- cession, will be one of great magnifi- cence.
 The exhibition of 1910 has a special sig nificance in the minds of its organizers and in that of the Belgians generally. It will not only show how Belgium has developed in 80 years, but how it has thrlven under the reign of-fts first two kings.
 Belgium has lived now 80 years as an independent, neutral state. Since its early years it has developed and expanded wonderfully. Its trade ranks in inn portance among that of the great powers of the world, despite it's small area. and under the guidance of Leopold II. 1t has annexed the territories of the Congo. The exhibition of 1910 has been planned for the last eight years. From the start the late King. the sovernment and it's officials and responsible organizers de- sired to make it very large and very inn portant. Leopold H. readily gave his patronage to the scheme. and the govern ment granted full protection to the en- terprise. board was then appointed and grounds were selected.
 The commission decided on the Sol bosch quarter as the site. for the exhibi- ton. It is beautifully located near the Bois de la Cambre.
 Extensive Improvements were neces- sary before the site was ready to receive buildings. An entire system of drainase had to be established and finally the grounds had to be connected directly with the lines of neighboring railway station, for the transportation of mate rials These difficulties were only over come at great expense, and the new 'ssolbosch'a has been in three years changed from desert into an animated and modern quarter
 The exhibition grounds cover an area of 223 acres. This area is divided into two sections by the Avenue du Solbosch, ," which takes the visitor from and to Brussels. Thesa two portions Of the ex-
