Lady Constance de Grey

Good heaven, Master Osborne Mau- rice%'' she cried. T thought you in Flanders. When did''-but she had no time to finsh her inquiry, for the old priest threw himself upon the young warrior and cried out: When? where7 But I am an old TOOL How you have grown to look like your lady motherP'
 And we have heard of you and your exploits" broke in the lady.
 LAndy Constance de Grey was and. as children, she and Osborne had been lovers what time he had lived for a spell in her fathers house after the msfortunes of his own father.
 The three-the old priest, Lady Con- Stance and Osborne-heId long talk to- gether apart.
 Lady Constance's father was dead and she was on her way with Dr. Wilbra- ham, her chaplain. to the home of Sir Payan Wileton, who was her guardian that same Sir Payan who had by con- trivance got possession of the estates of the Lord Fitzbernard.

Warned Against London

He's mad.' thought the young soldier. But. dismounting. the strange individual said calmly: Well met. Sir Osborne Maurice" while the good wife cried out: Now all is well; Sir Caesar is here."
 The new conner was, indeed. that man, who, having been known under many names, was now known as Sir Caesar one of the most celebrated astrologers in Europe
 Sir Osborne recognized the name and was not little awed that his own name should not have been known to the necromancer
 The interview between the two was short Sir Caesar warned the young man not to go toward London or evil might befall him Sir Osborne retorted that he would go.
 'Only three people in England" said the soldier, should know of my arrival here How you came to know I can guess But to London go"

The English Weather Office

Recent summers appear to have be sl, so cool and recent winters 90 mild that thA opinion has arisen that the climate of thA British Isles may be changing, says thu London Chronicle. John A. Curtis, who has just retired from the meteorlosical office after 45 years service, stated. how ever. that there was no reliable .scientifio evidence to support the view
 Tho result of the most careful in ] vestigation is that the climate Is subj stantially the same.' he declared '"Th)e climate is the same as when I first ein tered the office, and as 1t had been fdp, 100 or 200 years previously"
 MT Curtis mentioned a curious instanNs, Of the practical manner in which the work of the meteorological office is applied to the service of the community. In this particular instance it helps to assure the safety of passengers on a West of Ireland railway.
 The line is exposed to very heavy winds" he said land once a train was blown over. We were consulted, and an instrument was devised to give warming on the strength of the gale. As soon as the wind reaches a certain heighth . bell is automatically rung, and at a great CT heighth a second bell Is sounded.
 Now when the first bell sounds tho authorities know that the signals are to be put at extreme caution. and when tho second bell rings that traffic is tosbe sus. pended altogether"
 As a further nuisance of the usefui- ness of the meteorological office to the public, MT, Curtiss said that 1t was not generally known that for the cost of a few pence a special weather forecast could be obtained. Think how useful that would be to those organizing picnics or boating parties he said. "All that is required Is for a telegram to be dis patched to Weather, London the reply and six pence extra to be paid for the forecast of the weather calculated to pre- vail over the district from which the tele- gram is sent"

Lord Darnley

It would be idle to keep from the reader any longer the real name and title of the wandering knight who that evening sought shelter at the country inn. He was, indeed, Lord Darnley, son of the Lord Fftzbernard and who bore as his Christian name the name of his fathers old friend, Osborne Maurice.
 Under that name had he achieved the distinction in the Continental wars and was now on his way back to the court of Henry to seek the favor of the mon arch and, if possible. restitution of the lands and titles which had been his fathers.
 Tell me one thing" said Osborne-or Darnley-to Dr. Wilbranham. Do you know a strange man called Sir Caesar he has a wide reputation-but is he to be trusted? I met with him today and he much astonished me-
 Trust him with the life in your hands, replied the priest. ''He is your father oldest and best friend. God forgive him for those dark practice of necromancy into which he has entered"

Sir Payan's Prisoners

With the early morning light Sir Os- borne took his way toward London and Lady Constance took hers to the manor house of Sir Payan Wileton.
 Jenkin Groby was ahorse by the time the knight was and said: By your favor I will ride with you to London, for my bags are we'll lined and company's a blessing-if it Is of the right sort.
 The seafaring desperado had disap- peared Sir Osborne thought of him not.
 But as, in the full. fresh, fragrant morning he took his way toward Lon- don, accompanied by the tailor and mus ing upon the charms of Lady Constance, he was suddenIy made to realize that the pirate was-at 1t would be said in modern slang-"on his job"
 For Darnley was set upon and seized both he and the tailor-and taken pris- oner to the manor house of Sir Payan Wileton. The "Portugalls" had recog- nized him, had, in fact, been spy of Sir Payans to follow him.

The Uncanny Stranger

While good wife Hartley was still volub- ly expressing her thanks to the young warrior for his interference cante-ing into the garden upon a milk-white palfrey came a little old man dressed in singular but elegant nabiiments
 He wore no arms except a small dag
 ger, and guided his horse by neither 4 rein nor spur. but by a peeled willow wand with which, every now and then, he touched the ears of the animal.
 He was exceedingly diminutive in sta ture but his body was well-sha pen. He was swarthy to excess and had long black hair mingled with gray. But his most remarkable feature was his eyes, keen, vivacious, full of sparkle and fire and quickness-eles sunk deep in his head These eyes roamed keenly from one ob- ject to another and when they rested upon person they seeemd to pierce into his soul. Uncanny eyes they were, but commanding.

Rochester rioters-how 1t was that Sir Osborne was allowed to pass.
 She told him all she knew and took the opportunity to say, also, that she was going to marry Lord Derby in spite of King or cardinal.
 "Hoity, toityl my yady,' laughed the King you arc imperious; whoever gets you will have a masterhand over him.
 Then he sent for Sir Osborne. The knigt told him that he had never been in Cornwall, and related what Sir Caesar had said to him. As 70 how his name came to be mentioned in the stolen let ters. he could not imagine. The King unused.
 Sir Caesars advice Is good" said he at length; there is mystery here. But fly. But fly. I will give you time before my lord cardinal puts the screws on. Be off tonight. You have been dubbed knight by the Emperor on stricken field. Go again to the continent

Lord Derby. The Cardinal is trying to marry hi into the Lady Constance de Grey-and to marry me to Sir Payan Willeton. As I have large property Sir Payan does not object to the arrange ment I thing all the other parties do.
 Now take this letter to Sir Lord Derby -and-and-come tomorrow morning and take me to the court at Greenwich
 The duke of Buckingham had said to Sir Osborne that he would place at his disposal his house of "the roses' in St. Lawrence Pultney-and Osborne had ac- cepted of 1t.
 As the knight rose up to the Rose Manor he saw man just dismounting who. by the silver swan he wore upon his right arm he guessed a courier of the dukes.
 My lord" said the courier, q was sent with letters and dispatches by his grace. But I have been robbed on the way and my mail bags taken from me. It only remained for me to give my verbal orders for your iordship's accom- modation."
 Those stolen letters made trouble aft erward.

i, \ CL SSIC IN A P A c E
fight. 1914. by Irving King


 George Payne Rainsfurd James was a most prolific writer. More than 100 nov els are accredited to him. And then there were his historical works. His first novel was Richelieu. published in 1925, and the list of his best known novels begins With Darnley. published in 1929.
 Sir Walter Scott encouraged James to write, and delighted in the wealth of his torical information of the lesser sort which James possessed-those little slde studies in history which expended a page in a description of the peculiar sort or boots worn in certain year of cer- tain reign.
 James is diffuse, garrulous and often tedious in the beginning of his storles' and seems 10 have copied from Sir Wal ter that aggravatins nesitancy about getting into action which he begins to tell his tale
 He stands. however, as one of the great historical novelists of the English language-has even had the honor of be- ing caricatured by Thackeray, who de- tested his affections.
 He was a man of wealth and pleasure British consul to Boston and then to Norfolk. Later he was transferred to Venice, where he died.

Osborne sought an interview with Con- stance and told of all that had happened.
 Fly" she said; "T will follow you. I have great estates in France which I hold from Francis. Tkere we may meet. will follow you. In one of my castles we may live happily and forget these rude times"
 Kissing the tips or her fingers as he knelt Sir Osborne Maurice fled that night from England
 The lord cardinal sought out Lady Constance de Grey ana said: You are my ward in chancery. I will send let ter for you to bring you to York House tomorrow. See that yoa are ready"
 Shortly after the departure of the car dinal there came Lady Constance page, who delivered note saying: Wait not for my lord cardinals ietter-fly boat is waiting for you at the riverside"
 Hastily summoning her tire woman, Constance went down to the riverside and there found the boat ready and manned. The lord cardinals barge was just pulling up the stream.

Royal Elegance

The lattice easement, with it's diamond shaped panes of colored glass. was half open and the early morning light and the sfeet breath of the summer dawn came through in a flood upon the richly em- broidered hangings of the bed and the arras which covered the old stone walls; upon the pitchers and bowls of silver and gold which were for the Kings morn- ing ablutions; upon arms and armof richly chased and inlaid with gold; upon jeweled collars and chains; orders and decorations which were scattered about.
 The red robes of the cardinal shone like cloth of rubies in the light, and the gorgeous costumes of Henry and Francis-tissue of silver and tissue of gold, many rare products of eastern looms, rich furs and fanciful and costly products of the leather workers of Cor dova-
 The spacious chamber had old carvings of black oak; high arched roof and pointed windows. And there sat the two young and adventurous monarchs and the great cardinal, all three in the first flush of their youth and power.
 Guards in waiting assembled and armed men brought in the prisoner. Sir Payan Wileton. who knelt before his King and then stood erect.
