KINGS TEN SURGEONS
Peculiar Deed to Old English Es-
tate Gets American Into En-
barrassng Situation.
BY HAROLD CARTER.

f. Addington Blake whistled as nc
set down his lawyers letter Then he
looked out of the windows of the din
ing hall of Fyles Abbey into the heart
Of an English countryside in June
Suddenly he turned in answer to his
wife's inquiry
"Muriel, dear" he said, eff | hadn't
received this letter by this mornings

home for ever"
How, dear?' inquired his pretty
wife, startled.
This way: You know Lord Tyne
side, from whom we bought it, didn't
appreciate having to sell a property
which had been in his family for eight
hundred years to an American whose
father made his fortune packing pork
And you remember he was quite nasty
to us. Well, he omitted to point to a
very vital item in the title deed, which
Barrett & Co. have just discovered in
the nick of time. Fyles Abbey was
granted to the first Lord Tyneside by
Henry ", who, as you may remember,
died of overeating. And, while nomi-
nally gift, it was to be held like many
of these old castles, upon a curious
condition, and to revert to the crown
If ever this condition were not COM
piled with. In brief, the owner has
to present to his majesty every year,
on the anniversary of the gift, ten
surgeons. And the anniversary is next
Thursday. And the king is in Scot
land"
Present ten surgeonsw exclaimed
Muriel in amazement.

is almost undecipherable, but the law

complained the cashier of a small
city bank to the president IT'S a lot
of trouble, and yet it has to be
done"
The president had no suggestion to
offer, but the remark reached the
ears of young man transacting bust
ness at one of the wickets and set
him thinking
There must be good many other
business concerns that need just the
same information he argued with
himself. IF one were to get up a
subscription list Of them it might be
worth while to furnish daily reports
from the registry Office, reports that
could be got out in an hour or SO a
day."

cashier and explained his idea. Each

time it will save you
The cashier jumped at the offer and
within very short time the enter
prising young man had more than fifty
subscribers. The lists were compiled
by his sister, who spent an hour or
two day in the registry Office md
the returns made neat addition to
their joint income, for the young man
did not find it necessary to give up
his old position, which was an excel
lent one, to take up his new job.

The story which was current in
the early days of the Tonopah and
Goldfeld district was that Wingfield
In the pioneer period of the Tonopah
camp came out of gambling house
one evening and stood with de-
spondent look on his face, when the
late Senator Nixon came along. The
senator greeted George, as he was
popularity known, and asked how his
luck was. Wingheld replied that he
was broke Nixon handed him some
gold and said:
TRY again. George" and passed on.
That money turned the trend of
fortune and Wingfield broke the bank
and became owner of the gambling
house From that time on his sue
cess seemed to be assured He Sc
cured from the prospectors various
mining claims, including large inter-
ests in the leading mines In the Gold
field district, and as evidence of his
appreciation for the help of Nixon
he gave the late senator an interest

After the senator's death Wingfeld
was offered the Nevada senatorial
toga, but he refused it. 1t is stated.

a great lurid glow sprang up across
the eastern horizon.

started toward it. A terrific hubbut
increased as he advanced He had
progressed to where he could see the
flames through the trees, when com

rifled means, he made out pale-faced
wild eyed woman.
She clasped a little babe close to
her breast, and holding her by the
hand dragged little girl sobbing pitt

stepping directly in the path of the
flying fugitive, what is the trouble?"
She gave a Shrek at being so start

vaguely, and then a quick memory of
the desperate doings in these lonely
Carolina mountain Businesses came to
him, and he asked you mean

Just that" nodded the woman.

Barton got the three refugees into

rough men armed and carrying torch

more shots and shouts and new
lurid glare crossed the sky.
