American publishers, Jos. w. Stern &

country, through the usual channels Of
bands and orchestras, but somehow
the public did not seem to appreciate
the merit of the piece. The publish
ers had about given up hopes of put
ting 1t over as they say in stage YER
nacular, when news came from Lon
don that King George v, in company
with Emperor William, had sent a
request from the royal box at the
{Drury Lane Theatre, to the leader Of
the orchestra, who, by the way, is the
con poser of In the Shadows to play
his composition, This seemingly trlv-
ial incident turned THE tide, for i'm

heard Of it's and the success Of the
piece was assured e! Il l
Mr.. Lew Fields, the well-known com.

Fate and justice worked some pecu-
liar pranks in the olden days. Sir Wal
ter Raleigh, with the death sentence
hanging over him for eighteen years,
failing in his final voyage Of discovery.
returned to England and went cheer
fully to the block. He left the Tower
without the royal pardon in 1915. The
adventurous but still condemned man
had received permission to make an
other voyage to South America If he
should be successful In the outcome of
his venture Raleigh knew the kings
mercy would be granted him. But this
last expedition, undertaken with such
a vital interest at stake for Raleigh,
was unfortunate in all its respects.
At San Tomas, on the Cayenne river in
Guiana, his men made hostile attack
upon a Spanish settlement. As Eng.
land was then at peace with Spain,
this act Of war against the people Of a
friendly nation was a most grievous
offense against the king. On Oct 90.
