life, borrowing money, drinking and
gambling, and getting into debt deep
er every day. One day he was pro-
ceeding along the street, with a bad
taste In his mouth, wondering where
he might raise the price. H turned
to his servant. who was following him,
and naming a number Of former
friends, instructed him to call upon
them and borrow money.
"It's no use," said the servant, who
had been sent upon many similar err
rands, only to be kicked out; nobody
will lend you any money"
Such an affrOnt from a servant was
more than the blue blood Of the mar
quis could endure. 1t boiled In his
veins. Drawing his sword, he slew
the unfortunate servitor in his tracks,
and then went his way, meditating
upon the insoience of the lower
classes. His surprise was great when
he was arrested and taken to Jail.
Things were indeed come to pretty
pass if'a man of his lineage could be
incarcerated for such q trifling mat
ter as stabbing a servant.
At first he refused to believe that
he was in a serious predicament.
When the courts understood the facts
Of the case, and realized that he was
the chief representative of the great
house Of PaleOtti, he would be dis
missed with apologies. But when he
came to trial the judges didn't seem
in any way impressed by his exalted
station, and they seemed to hold the
ridiculous theory >that servants were
entitled to the protection Of the law
as much as other people.
The evidence against him was con-
elusive. and he didn't deny any Of it,
and the jury had the execrable taste
to find him guilty, and he was SEN
fenced to death. The marquis simply
couldn't believe 1t. Such a miscar-
riage Of justice in a civilized country
was an impOssibility. The matter
must be brought to the attention of
the king, who wouldn't stand for such
an outrage. It was taken to the king,
and there was nothing doing. Even
his sister could help him no more.
Her influence was exerted In vain.
On the morning of March II. 1716
the marquis was instructed to pre-
pare for the melancholy journey to
Tyburn. The plain people had been
assembled there since daybreak to see
him suffer, and 1t wouldn't do to keep
them waiting much longer. The con-
demned man paid no attention to the
appeals of the ordinary (chaplain) but
spent his time denOuncing country
which would put a nobleman to death
for the killing Of a servant. He
pointed out that such things were con-
Quoted much better in Italy, where
there always was sanctuary for dis
tinguished man who didn't wish to
be arrested. He predicted the decline
and fall of q government. which In
dorsed such a proceeding as his exc
cution.
Arrived at the gallows. his indigna.
ton was doubled when he found that
he was to hang with a plebeian muir
derer. He protested so bitterly that
the executioner granted his request to
be turned of first, and he had the
melancholy satisfaction Of dying alone.
The marquis was a handsome and
talented man, of courtly manners. but
so devoured by pride, and so lacking
in honesty, that his unfortunate sis
ter was the only true mourner when
his improbable career came to q close.

THE MISTAKE OF THE MARQUIS.

IIAD Lord Ferrars, who was hanged

led the criminal history Of his coun-
try. he might have thought twice be-
fore shooting his servant, which prank
brought him to the gallows. Long be-
fore his punishment the British courts
had decreed that the shooting of serv-
ants by noblemen was q capital Of
fense. rather than a misdemeanOr.
Fernando, Marquis de Paleotti, was
the head Of noble Italian house, and,
during the reign of Queen Anne he
distinguished himself for ability and
valor as a colonel In the imperial army.
The duke Of Shrewsbury, an exalted
Britisher, visited Rome and fell in
love with sister Of the marquis. In
due season they were married, and
went to England, and settled down to
live happy ever after In the dukes an
cestral hall. The marquis followed
them. The marquis had expensive
tastes, and his private treasury repre-
senting an aching void, he rightly fig
ured that his sister would be great
convenience, as the duke had all kinds
Of plain and fancy money.
This was 200 years ago and London
was well supplied with native bloods,
who gave daily demonstrations in ex-
travagance. 1t was a time when it
was considered fashionable to throw
ones patrimony at the birds. Gentle
men made a practice Of retiring with
their boots on, and gambling was the
life work Of many aristocrats. Rely
ing upon his sister to attend to small
details like paying his debts, the mar
quis started in to show the London

the danger of the hydro-aeroplane,
among them a launch hired by News
representative When they reached
the stranded machine, she lay well out
of water exposed to the full force of
the gale. The party attempted to car
ry out an anchor but succeeded only
after a half-hour fight with the waves.
Some time later, when the men had
recovered sufficiently and the wind
slackened. the flying boat was sue
cessfully pulled from the reef.
After tuning up the motor and max
ing the necessary repairs, her crew
brought her back to the station on

of several miles, twisting and turn
ing gracefully. Then they headed due
south along the deep-water channel.
As they reached a point directly op-
posite the ship yard the first puff of
the coming norther struck their ma
chine. Nelson, the pilot, understood
the danger and attempted to swing his
rudder over and put his unsteady
craft about. But the wind caught her
wings and sent her scuttling off at
an alarming pace
For more than three miles. the hy-
dro-aeroplane flew along the surface
of the rising seas with the gale mo-
mentarily growing in force. Mean
while her crew had donned their life
belts. With less skilled hands than
Nelson's at the wheel, the choppy
waves would have quickly filled and
sunk her.
When it became apparent that the
wind had no intention of lulling even
for moment, the aviator determined
upon adopting the only course open to
him. He left his steering apparatus
in charge of Cohen and at the immi
nent risk of his life, crawIed out on
the right wing of the boat. For an
instant he hung suspended on the
slender canvas and wire Then his
weight gradually dragged down the
superstructure until the balancing
tank beneath became submerged. AL
most at once the machine slid about
and headed up into the wind.
As she stuck her nose through the
combers, the spray flew fully over
her, falling in a shower on the smok
ing engine. For a mile or so the
motor kept firing on all eight cylin
ders until particularly heavy sea
reached the magnetic.
Suddenly it seemed as if the en-
CINE had stopped altogether, but witt
couple Of coughs four of the cylin
ders returned TO their work. At IL: 81
the hydro-aeroplane reached the chan
mel into McDonald's ship yard. The
two men in her were all but exhaust

motor could never drive them as fal
as City island, so they swung her nos,
