cavalry officer. the heir of another bar

from Warwickshire.
The incident, which tool place a

Having hired a piano-organ from
some travelling foreigners, the baronet
and his wife disguised themselves as
Italian musicians. The former wore
q SLOUGH hat and old clothes which had
done duty in amateur theatrical per
formances; the latter wore old gar
ments and bound her head with a col
ored silk handkerchief.
Accompanied by a kinsman OF the
baronet, they set out to the %neighbor-
ing mansion occupied by the son of a
arone well known In London.
No sooner had they begun to reel of
popular music hall airs than the gen
tleman appeared upon the scene and,
III a peremptory manner, ordered their
instant withdrawal under threat of
calling In the police.
When, after a time. they made
themselves known, he joined them in
a Reorganization of the village, and
eventually the "adventurers" reached
the seat OF a country magnate, a lead
