London Glassworks Three Centuries Old,
Uses the Same Methods as Before Christ

front Of them fourishes fig tree
grown from a cutting taken from
outside the Tudor street building.
The finest English glass, which in
the Eighteenth century was the
envy Of all Europe, is flint glass.
The ingredients are sand, red lead,
potash and saltpeter, with smaller
quantities of borax and arsenic. For
hand-blown glass, only sand from
the forest Of Fontainbleau is used,
as it has been used for generations.
In the barn-like room where the
actual glass - blown, the men are
grouped around fires, and each CEN
ter is called a "chair," from the
chair in which the glassblower sits.
The chief blower is called the gaf-
fer, and he is helped by the servi-
tor and the boy.
Around the chairs" the blowers
60, to and from the blaze, holding
in their hands long tubes at the end
of which are ''blobs' Of molten
glass. The men twirl fine glasses
until they become perfect wine
glasses or jugs.
In another room cutting is done,
and in another is a museum of va
rious rare pieces made in those
works throughout the centuries.

Just outside London is a factory

London correspondent in the Bos-

They had been there since the year
after the Great fire of 1865.

on his birthday went to the duke Of

to the Glass house, and there
showed my cousins the making Of
glass and had several things made
with great content, and, among
others, had one or two singing
glasses made, which make an echo

saw; but so thin that the very
breath broke one or two of Them"

Lady Elizabeth Virgil, now twenty
four years old. The dreadful In
justice, therefore, was over and
done: II had In fact come to an
end with Gering's death: and though
the wicked fiourished, the good was
beyond his reach.
And then a strange thing hap

Summer was coming in, and /

of the day. entered my rooms in
the evening, to battle and change,
when saw upon my table an enve-
lope covering something, but not adj
dressed. Opening this, I found a
passport within-and knew at once
that some servant had made mis-
take. A guest had arrived from
abroad and the office had asked for
his passport, from which to fill up
the form which the police required.
And now II had been returned-to
me, instead Of to him.
The passport was that Of Percy
Gilbert Virgil, born in London in
1910, and domiciled at Brief. And

sent the passport back to the
office, lighted a cigarette and sat
down to think things out.
Unknown to Gering, before he had
been arrested, his brother had had
a son. That son was now twenty
six and dwelled in his fathers
house. And father and son were

no request: he had simply told me
his tale. But then he had not been

that, 1t was none Of my business.
put out my cigarette and began
to change.
Even if / made it my business,
what could ] do? It had never en-
tered my head to doubt the truth of
the. statement which Gering had
made. But how on earth could I
prove it? BY declaring the existence
Of some secret / did not know? BY
alleging the existence Of doorway
(which no one would ever find''?
The thing was absurd. I had no
proof. Gering himself had done
nothing, because he had known very
well that there was nothing to be
done. And yet -.

It must not be thought that had

him constantly, and more than once
I wondered if it was not for me to
take action upon the facts which I
knew. And then it always seemed
best to let sleeping dogs lie. I had
looked up the House Of Brief and
had found two things-first, that the
pseudo Count was still widower
