Keeper of Secrets of Kings:

Lord Knollys, who is retiring, after
having been private secretary to King
George and the late King Edward,
has received many tempting offers to
write his autobiography, but, needless
TO say, has steadfastly resisted them
all. An enterprising publisher, from
the United States, once ran him down
during his vacation, and placed a
blank check before him, inviting him
to fill it in for any sum he liked to
name in return for book of no fewer
than $4,000 words.
MY terms would be five million dol
lars" Lord Knollys remarked, quietly.
The publisher gasped. Good gra-
cious, sir, are you serious?" he asked.

then, with one of his merry wrinkles
of his eyes, he said:

more to you If l had to say frankly

The publisher realized the force OF
the argument, and was bound to ad-
NIT that IL would be a hopeless task
to induce an indiscretion on the part
