drenching a few Of them.
It is greatly to the credit of Mary
that in the midst Of all this adulation
and worship, she remained the modest,
simple girl she had been when OBJ
scure. At the age of twenty-three she
was unspoiled, although the most eel
ebrated beauty in the kingdom. 1t was
then that a gorgeous and glittering in
dividual arrived at Keswick. He was
of middle age, of fine presence and
handsome person, and his manners
were overpowering, in their old-school
majesty. He gave out that he was
Alexander Augustus Hope, brother to
the earl Of Hopetoun, and now a mem
ber of parliament from Linlithgow-
shire.
Now, in order to do justice to this
story, it would be necessary to write
a book of normal size; and it would
make such an interesting book that
somebody ought to write it. In such
a brief sketch as this. it is only pos
sible to hit the high spots, as it were,
and so the narrative loses those ele.
ments Of romance which have made ii
an immortal folk tale in England.
The glittering stranger was accept
ed at his own valuation by the people
of the lake country, with few excep
tions. Among the exceptions were
Coleridge and Wordsworth, who sized
him up as a faker and shook their
wise old heads gloomily whenever he
was mentioned. Hope explained that
he was taking q little vacation, and
travelling without servants because he
wanted to lead the simple life a while
He made friends everywhere. Two OF
those friends were Mr.. Crump and a
Colonel Moore. The latter was guar
dian to an Irish heiress, and was
greatly pleased when he observed that
the distinguished Hope was falling In
love with her. Such q match was tc

couraged both the suitor and maid


After a while the stately Mr. Hope
heard that there was good fishing over
at Buttermere, so he went there from
Keswick, and put up at the little inn.
And there he fell in love with Mary;
and there Mary, who had rejected
many suitors, fell in love with him.
Some of the printed stories say that
Mary did not love him, and became
his bride through the insistence of her.
parents, but this is not true. She was
fascinated by the handsome and dis
tinguished stranger, and was more
than willing to be his wife, So their
love affair progressed quietly at the
inn, and every now and then Hope
went ever to Keswick and professed
overwhelming affection for the Irish
heiress, so that Colonel Moore was
much encouraged.
One day Moore received a letter
from Hope, inclosing a draft for $3.50.
drawn on Mr.. Crump of Liverpool.
which he asked him to cash. Hope
was called to Scotland on business,
and found himself short Of cash.
Moore was pleased to receive such
letter, as it showed that Hope looked
upon him as something closer than a
FRIEND so he sent Hope the money,
and added $50, so he'd be sure to have
plenty of change. Colonel Moore was
serene and contented all that day; the
next day he was stamping around and
frothing at the mouth, vowing all
kinds of foreign and domestic ven-
geance. For the most astonishing
tidings had come to Keswick. Hope
had married Mary of Buttermerei 1t
is easy to understand the colonel's
| wrath. The suitor Of his ward had
borrowed money from him to marry
another girl!
Colonel Moore disguised himself as
Nemesis. and set forth to do what he
should have done in the beginning
to investigate the bridegroom's ante
| cedents. He soon had reason to sus-
pect that Hope was not a brother to
an earl, not a member of parliament
not even entitled to the name of Hope.
Such questions could be settled in a
few hours now, but in those days there
were no telegraphs, and investigation
was slow work. However, Moore made
such progress that he felt justified in
denouncing Hope as an impostor.
Hope was away on his honeymoon,
when he heard that he was being ira
duced in this way, and, filed with vir-
tuous indignation, he returned to Kes-
wick to face his accusers. The first
man he was requested to face was a
jurist who knew the Hope family well,
and this jurist, upon seeing the bride
groom, said: Il never saw this man
before"
Hope was given into the custody of
a constable. pending further investi-
cations. He and the constable went
down to the shore of lake, and Hope
got into boat and rowed away, the
constable looking on. Hope kept on
rowing, and was seen at Keswick no
more. He still had the sympathy and
confidence of the entire community
including his beautiful bride, until she
