Lord Rossmore. who has Just died

not only Of the hunting field. but Of
life in many other places. One Of
these concerned his friend, Bay Mid
dleton, whom he describes as one Of
the best riders to hounds that ever
lived. and runs as follows:
"Bay once bet lady that he could
hide 30 efrectually In her bedroom
that she could never discover him.
She hunted high and how. but never
n trace Of the hidden one could she
see.
1.-THE lady was completely at her
