CHAPTER XIV.
THE TALE HAD TO BE TOLD.

'1 III
n whilst the morning papers were
unfolded by millions of English men
and women, and the detailes OF the
mysterious crime discussed over eggs
and bacon and buttered toast, Philip de
Mountford, the newly found heir pre-
sulnptive to the earldom of Radycliffe,
was lying in the gloomy mortuary
chamber of a London police court,
whittier he had been conveyed in the
same cab whose four narrow walls
jealousy guarded the secret Of the
tragedy which nae been enacted within
their precincts.
Lord Radycliffe had peer aroused at
10 o'clock the previous night by repre-
sentatives of the police, who came to
break the news to him. 1t was not
late, and the old man was not yet in
bed. He had opened the front door of
his house himself, his servants-he ex-
planned curtly-were spending their
evening more agreeably elsewhere.
The house-even to the police Off
cers-appeared lonely n gloomy in
the extreme, n the figure of the old
man, who should IA v been surround
ed by every luxury that rank and
wealth can give, looked singularIy pa
evidently unprotected and uncared for
and s~uspiciously demanding what his
late visitors business might be.
Very reluctantly on hearing the lat
ter'S status he consented to admit
them. He did not at first appear to
suspect that anything wrong might
have happened, or that anything unto
ward could occasion this nocturnal Wis
it; in fact, he seemed unconscious of
the ateness of the hour.
He walked straight into the library,
where he had obviously been sitting.
for an armchair was drawn to the fire.
a reading lamp was lighted on the table
and papers and magazines lay scat
tered about.

The Puritans destroyed many collec-
lions of books in the monasteries and
even Cromwell burned the Oxford Ii
brary, then one of the finest in Europe.
Extremists in revolution, as in religion,
have been equally destructive as re-
CARDS books. The Spanish inquisition
and the French revolution were as one
in this respect. The crusaders were de-
stroyers of what they regarded as her
etical books and in Russia today the
war of orthodoxy on sectarian dissent
still manifests itself, among other
things, in the ruthless destruction OF
the books Of the non-conformists.

Why, off the coast of Newfoundland the
fog was sometimes so thick that we
used to sit on the deck rail and lean

Speech Filled With
Bitter Denunciation
of Roosevelt.
WILSON IGNORED
Great Commoner Hardly
Mentioned Name of Fav-
orite Candidate,

Mr.. Bryan speech in this city yes
terday afternoon, was somewhat of
an enigma. He talked for over an
hour and devoted the most OF that
time to a severe Remuneration of
Roosevelt and the Weaknesses of MIR.
Taft. He hardly mentioned the name
OF the erstWhile governor of New
Jersey and only in his few closing
sentences did he refer to him in any
thing like a complimentary nature
and strive TO show what sort of a
man he was. To the casual onlooker
1T would appear from Mr.. Bryan's
speech that he is o trying to- help
elect Wilson, but is devoting nearly
all his energies to the defeat of Mr..
Roosevelt.
Likewise, Mr.. Bryan must have
been somewhat puzzled over his audi
ence. 1t cheered with great gusto
when he first appeared, as any Am
erican audience anywhere will cheer
Mr.. Bryan, but the name of Mr.. La
Toilette was cheered considerably
more than the of Mr.. Wilson. the
few times it was mentioned. Those

represented.
