By ourselves. and this was the story
told 20 me:
In the early days OF George III. the
lord OF the manor of Lington was one
Stephen Glave-a studious man and
confirmed bachelor until, during a
visit to London, when he was in his
fiftieth year, he was fascinated by
beautiful italian dancer and mar
rled her. Their after life was one
bitter wrangle-he clinglng TO his
old quiet habits, she insisting upon
excitement and pleasure What else
had she married him for? Against his
body servant, John Minden, she con-
ceiyed violent hatred, suspecting
him, and not without cause, OF keep
ing his master Informed about cer-
tain things which, from her point Of
view, should have been left unmen
toned. By no threats could she pre-
vent John Mlnden from standing up
| for his master, and by no cajOleries
| could she induce his master to part
| with him. O
The position was thus: So far as
they could ascertain Stephen Glave
had not revoked the will which he
had made In his wife's favor at their
marriage; still, he might do so any
| day. He was rich, but, having some
knowledge of what was going on, he
| sternly refused to increase her in
come. She would be better off as a
widow with only her dover than as
now. Stephen Glave was clearly in
| the way. John Minden was backing

to say to his master in an angry
tone, "I wish that one of us were
