tradition in personality and the wom-
an who had been SO loved stood be-
fore her. Her eyes fell again upon
the man and the dream was broken.
She pieCed together now all that
she had of him, smiling as she did so
at the thought of certain strange stor-

velous deductive powers had brought
to solution problems which appeared
as impossible of detection as this pre-
sented to her.
John Revell Charnock, evidently the
married one NJ. P. T. on the 10th of
September, 1869. Perhaps within a
year afterward this John Revell Char
mock, assuming him, as was likely, to
have borne his fathers name, was
born. The best English stock in the
colony were Massachusetts and Vir-
ginia. The stern piece of the boat
borne the name of Virginia river and
of Virginia town. The man before

him 25 years old, in accordance with
her first guess. The father and
mother, possibly ruined by the results
of the civil war, had embarked on
some vessel to seek fortune in a new
land. Something had happened to
the ship and the woman, the little boy
and the dog had landed in some way
upon these shores alone after some
horrible voyage, perhaps like that she
had passed through. The boy must
have been five or six years old, else
he would have died being deserted.
The woman had indeed, died, and the
dog with her, and left the lad alone.
Alone he had been for score of
years on that island. What watchful
Providence? Stop! She be-
lieved in 20 Providence. What strange
mysterious fate kept him from the
fate of the other two, had preserved
him alone for her?
So she wove a history out of her
treasure trove for this man, history
which at least satisfied her and which
the more she reasoned about 1t and
the more she tested it, seemed abso-
lutely adequate and entirely correct.
Well, she had opportunity now and
she was glad. She faced the future
calmly, recognizing her chance and
her work and set about with syste'
matte method, order and persistence
to teach this man what it was to be a
human being, to give him, as rapidly
as she might communicate it and as
he might receive it, all the learning
she possessed, to compensate him with
no further delay for those 25 years of
silence.
Was it for this she had been trained
and educated at great cost Of time
and money and effort? That she being
a woman should give it all to this
one man without money and withoUt
price?

THE CURFEW AT CHERTSEY
Romantic Association of a Pretty Eng.
Iish Village with the Sun
down Bell.

At sundown the little Surrey village
of Chertsey will re-echo to the toll
ing of the curfew bell, which, in ac-
cordance with ancient custom, Is
sounded every evening from Septem-
ber 20 to March 25.
1t is appropriate that Chertsey
should thus maintain the custom, for
the village has interesting "curfew"
associations. The. curfew bell which
hung in Chertsey abbey tolled for the
funeral of Henry VI, murdered in the
Tower of London and hurried to
Chertsey to be buried without priest,
clerk, torch or taper, singing or say
ing"
The abbey was also the scene Of
the romantic legend which relates
how Blanche Heriot, to save her
lover Neville, nephew Of Warwick the
Kingmaker, condemned to die at sun
down, climbed the curfew tower and
held the clapper OF che great bell. The
story, always popular locally, attained
wide fame when Mr.. Clifford Harrison
embodied 1t in his poem "The Legend
Of Chertsey." Since then reciters' au.
diences have probably Lad their I'LL OF
it.-W0stminster Gazette.
