Hidden Room of a Castle.

In the purse of some repairs at
Longleat, Willis, a room with a fireplace
was discovered Of which nobody had
the slightest knowledge. 1t had ap-
parently been walled up for years, and
neither Lord Bath nor anybody at
Longleat had any suspicion of the ex.
istence of such an apartment
Longleat, which is said to be the
first we'll built house in the kingdom,
was erected by Sir John Thyme, and
it's construction occupied ~ years,
from January, 1867. until 1879. The
first royal visitor to Sir Johns noble
mansion was Queen Elizabeth, and the
story runs that the owner was not
very anxious for his sovereign to see
his home, as she might ask him where
he obtained the money to build so
stately a house. Sir John Thyme,
who was knighted after the battle OF
Pinkie, was the factotum of the Pro
tector Somerset, and it is said that he
built Longleat from designs prepared
by his fallen master for a house of his
own.-Court Journal.

1.-THE Straight Death"
Hands were fumbling with the chain
at the dungeon door.
It opened and Jeekum's ashen face
shonei in the candle-light. For a moment
his frightened eyes rested on the two
men still standing in their last en-
brace of friendship. A word of be-
trayal from them and he knew that
his own doom was sealed.
He came in, followed by -four men.
One of them was MacDougall, the
kings whipper. In the corridor were
other faces, like ghostly shadows in
the darkness. Only MacDougalfs face
was uncovered. The others were hid
den behind white masks. The men
uttered no sound, but ranged them
selves like specters in front of the
door, their cooked rifles swung into
the crooks of their arms. There was
a triumphant leer on MacDougalrs
lips as he and the jailer approached.
AS the whipper bound Neirs hands
behind his back he Kissed in his ear:
This will be a better job than the
whipping, damn you'll"
Neil laughed.
Hear that, Nat?" he asked, loud
enough for all in the cell to hear.

Job than the whipping. He remem'

defiant. And Nathaniel, looking upon
the courage of this man, from under
whose feet had been swept all hope of
life, felt a twinge of shame at his
own nervousness. MacDougall grew
black with passion at the haunting re-
hinder of his humiliation and tight
ened the thongs about Neils wrists
until they cut into the flesh.
That's enough, you coward" *
claimed Nathaniel, as he saw the
blood start. "Here-take this!"
Like lightning he struck out and his
fist fell with crushing force against
the side of the mans head. Mac
Dougall toppled back with a hollow
and nose. Nathaniel turned coolly to
the four rifles leveled at his breast.
"a pretty puppet to do the kings
| commands" he cried. IF there's a
man among you let him finish tho
work."
Jeekum had fallen Upon his knees
beside the whipper.
Great God!" he shrieked. You've
killed him! You've stove in the side
of his head!"
There was a sudden commotion in
the corridor. A terrible voice doomed
forth in a o a
Let me in"
Strang stood in the door. He gave
a single glance at the man gasping
and bleeding in the mud. Then he
looked at Nathaniel. The eyes of the
two men met unflinching. There was
no hatred now in the prophets face.
Captain Plum, I would give a tenth
of my kingdom for a brother like
you!" he said calmly. "Here-I will
finish the work" He went boldly to
the task, and as he tied Nathaniel's
arms behind him he added THE vicis,

A few minutes later, gagged and

of the armed guards and at a com

and as his glance passed beyond him
he was amazed at the change that had
come over Neil. The young mans
head was bowed heavily upon his
breast, his shoulders were hunched
forward, and he walked with a list
less, Uneven step. Was it possible
that his magnificent courage had at
last given way?

him sharply with his knee. His COM

no sign. gave no last flashing COM
radeship with his eyes, but climbed
ito the bow Of the boat and sat down
with his chin still on his chest, like a
mar lost in stupor.
Nathaniel followed him, scarcely be-
lieving his eyes, and sat himself in
the stern, leaning comfortably against
the knees Of the man who took the
tiller. He felt a curious thrill pass
through him when he discovered a mo-
ment later that this man was Jeekum.
Two men seized the oars amidships.
A fourth, with his rifle across his
knees. sat facing Neil.
For the first time Nathaniel found
himself wondering what this voyage
meant. Were they to be rowed fa1
down the shore to some secret fast
ness where no other ears would hear
where, a few inches under the forest
mold, their bodies would never be dis
covered? Each stroke of the oars
added to the remoteness Of this pos
sibility. The boat was heading
straight out to sea. Perhaps they were
to meet a less terrible death by drown

unpleasant, held something comforting

Donald was left to himself He looked
about him with a satisfied grin. On
the table lay five pounds of butter,
two dozen eggs, a fowl, pound of
cheese. half a pound of tea, 12 ounces
OF twist tobacco, a wooden pipe, not
quite new, a pair of socks, and two
bottles of Talisker; on the floor rested
a sack of potatoes and another Of neat
ly chopped firewood.
1T win do" he muttered, as he lit
his lamp.
He opened one of the bottles, cut
himself some bread and cheese, drew
the table near the fire, and seated him
self by the hearth. He stirred the
fire, flung on a couple of peats, got
rid of his sea-boots, and stretched
his feet to the blaze Presently he
took from his pocket the now thumbed
and frayed envelope. He regarded it
almost affectionately.
81 wonder how they knew my
name?" he said to himself 1T is
very strange that they should have
known my name in London. But l
have heard that the people who send
such letters as this one" he tapped
the envelope-"are very clever Per
haps they just guessed that there was

in Port Sunart. Now l remember
there was a Sir Donald had the shoot

them, whatever. Now l am finished
with It,"
He emptied the envelope and threw
IL on the fire. 1t was followed by
few closely printed leaflets. Finally
the flames received neat and bright
w colored booklet. AS the cover of the
booklet caught fire, little Donald read
the title and repeated it.
What Is Indigestion?" He smiled.
Il thank the good God do not know"
he murmured, and turned to his sup

spected by the Port Sunart folk.

After much talk the suggestion was
accepted. The old merchant cut out
five small pieces Of paper, marked a
cross on one, folded them up and
