the Bonaparte family who had b. ill

France gained Hitchcock an intz ialia-
tion to the court circle.
One evening during a ball at the
Tuileries the American was sauntering
through the apartmente, crowded with
the new aristocracy ot France. A
Milne, an elderly ton, highly dec-
orated, and a young girl, approached
hint.
Tbe man was eearse loolcing; the
girl was comely and refined. Tliey

The doctor drew his interence, which
was by no means doubtful, The older
man had come between the young
lovers.
This was the theme of the story; the'
story itself was not manifest.

Duke de ----, a Bonaparte title. The
emperor had arranged a marriage be-

having been of great use to him in exe-

seized lite crown. Napoleon was not
averse to marriages between tile mem-

heart on Louise and would not be eain-

naturally become antagonistic, and the
antagonism had ended in the dusi.
Both principals feared the emperor's
resentment that would result if he
should hear of the eneounter, and ar•

Of Mies Langton's attitude she was
to learn more very quickie, for Sir
John Weston called to eee her, He
was more than kind, but lie urgently
begged her to give the informatiou
which ail could see she was withholds
„ig, and to belp the police to discover

"1 ani $0 sorry, but I cannot do it,"
. he *said, "I tell you taala that 1
believe nothing I know has the most
remote connection with the actual
tragedy."
"My dear alio Daintree, yen will be
compelled to speak sooner or later.
Certaioly I feel -we all feel -that, you
are generously shielaiug some one
else. But there to a limit to that.
You must let eis know all you know,
or you will be left to bear the brunt
yourself."
"I know that," she said.
"No woman's strength could pos-
eibly be equal to that task," be said.
"Is a Won= not bound by the laws
ef honor as mucli as a man."
Sir John had never thought of it in
that ligat He began to wonder
whether a "strong-minded woman"
and "a. Women of honor" were inter-
changeable terms.
As he left he drew it letter from hie
pocket, .
"My cousin, Miss Langton, coked
me to give you this; she Bald she
must send you it line ot symPathie."
Beryl Teed it atter he had. goae. It
ran:
"How can I thank you? You are
the noblest woman on ett.rth! You
will never give mei up, I know. Even
if you did, It would not bring the
murderer to lint. And you pro-
mised!" ,
- "Yes," thought Beryl, "I promised,"
On his way home Sir John met the
rector, tvho said:
"You have seen her?"
"Yes. She will not speak."
"But she will have to!"
"I know," said Sir John, "Wit the
police have applied tor a warrant and
it has been grauted. The magistrates
will alt the day after to -morrow."
"Do they seriously suspect her?"
asked the rector.
"Not of the actual crime, I believe;
but they believe they will get a.t the
mystery if they put her on trial. That
detective man, Groves, has insisted on
It. I am told that he is perfectle con-
vinced, of her innocence, all the same.
Could you not speak to her?"
Mr, Vernon looks very serious.
"I will try," he said.
. He called on 'Beryl as she sat trying
to face the situation intensified by
the tone of Dora's note.
"You know why I have come?" he
eaid,
al fear it is te ask me to do some-
thing which I cannot do."
"Yes; I am as sure as I am alive
that you have no guilty knowledge,
but you must not hinder the course of
justice."
"It is unwomanly, is it not?" said
Beryl, with a little smile.
"It is at least highly inconvenient
for you," he said.
"1 know that; but, Mr. Vernon, it
may sometimes be necessary to do
things that are inconvenient. In this
case there are two 'rights' warring
against each other. •How ant I to
decide between them? If I throw in
my lot with the stronger side I shall
be Bayed all inconvenience; it I try
to help the weaker side 1 shall suffer.
Which would you do?"
"It is mistaken chivalry," he said,
"Was not all chivalry more or less
a mistake? Don Quixote suffered be-
cause he did not realize that fact. Yet
you Would revive the age ot chivalry
if you could!". .
The rector did not argue this ques-
tion.
"Do you know that a. warrant has
been issued against you?"
"I thought it not unlikely."
, "And yet you will not speak?"
; "And yet I will' not speak," e
do not know if it Will interest

ale that not rather a serieus defi-
ance of the laws of the land?" asked
Beryl, with something like a smile.
"But it was very good of you to come
. to tell me that."
1 "I carne to tell you rather more
than that," said the rector. "I came
as the man who loves you."
' "You toll me this at such a time?"
"I theittglit it rather it good time,"
said the rector. "It occurred to me
that you might be baterested in kuow-
ing it. Naturally you may feel a
little surprised. I was a little sur-
prised myself when I discovered It. I
had thought myself incapable of any-
thing of the sort, but 1 was able to
realize the feat • when it preeented
itself before me."
"Yet you do not even approve of
me!" said Beryl, struggling between
laughter and something not unlike
tears.
; 'That is perhaps true. But since /
approve of co ninny people whom I do
not love in the least, there seems a
certain justice in loving one of whein
I do net Approve."
"You had better forget it" said
Beryl, gravely, "In a day or two you
May find that my name is associated
in all men's minds with the ;lemma -
ting of a terrible 'eritne, You would
searcely eontinue to care for ;no lit
those cfreutristances."
"That is a touch of arrogance 00
your part," he said. "Why do you
aseunie that you have all tho virtue
and leave noae for us? I should
merely wait until you were free, And
Meant myself at the pakten gates
with a marriage license in my hands."
"Without going through the formal-
ity of finding out whether I had the
least liking for you or not?" asked
Beryl,
"If you bad net had some liking for
me you would have told 010 Fts) in an
utenietakable nay the moment I began
to speak on Ilia frebject. I am not
:going to ask you to say anytithet more
now; but remember I shalt expect you
to do the beet you ecu, eoneieterstly
with honor, to elear the name of my
future wife."
He went away, leaving Beryl With a
cenfused eenge et having lost her alert-
tity, or at least her•poesisition of her-
self.

of the sort rewarded him; the room,
wart whitewashed Avails, contained no ,
secret Pauel that he could discover,
uor did the plain, old-fashioned fur-
niture contain any secret drawers.
"I shall be giving the room a god

With this promise he had to be cons
tent and to leave the place. no wiser
than when he cense.
Beryl duly appeared in answer to
the warrant, and was accommodated
with a chair whilst the evidence was
heard.
The first part of the proceedings
was merely a repetition of what had
taken place at the inquest. Sir John
Weston was present, but declined to
take his place on the bench. 13eryi

eeated only what she had already
said, and declined to give any reply
to the questions she had refused be-
fore to answer.
ahe had at Sir John's earnest re-
quest consented to employ a solicitor,
who now sat beside her; but the
solicitor was almost in despair over
the obstinacy of his client, although
Ile etill loyally fought for her in-
terests.
The great. point at which all the
inquiries were aimed was the.identitY
of the mysterious woman who had
been seen meeting the man, and to
find out if she were or were not the
almost equally mysterious wife.
The court adjourned for a ethort
time for luncheon, and Beryl was left
with her solicitor, although she was
under a certain amount ot observation
from the pollee. The solictior made
ene more effort to bring her to
reason.
"Miss Daintree, the case is going
agaihst you."
"I know it is."
"For all our bakes, speak out! You
know who this mysterious woman is."

"It is too annoying!" said Mr.
Carter to his confidential. clerk. "That
woman is innocent -I'll stake my pro-
fessional reputation on that; but she
will ruin herself by her own obstin-
eot. Where is that fellow Groves?
He is as 'Convinced as I am that she
is innocent."
Mr. Groves, sore indeed with a 'sense
of failure, had beet sitting in court
listening to the evidence. just before
the adjournment he received a mes-
sage that Mrs. Riggs wanted to speak
to him. He hastened out, and, seeing
by her face that she had something
Important to reveal; he took her to a

"What is it?" he asked when they
were alone,
"Well, sir, I was turning out the
Mona as I said I should, and I came
to the tallboy's chest of drawers"
"But we searched that."
"Yes, sir; but you forgot that we
always put a nice piece of white paper

they were empty, but. you never
thought of looking under the paper.
I did when 1 was,. cleaning out, and
there under the lining of the top
drawer was a printed form, I took
it out, and then 1 found it was some-
thing yoU ought to see."
Groves clutched the paperile re-
cognized the form at a glance -it was
a certificate of marriage before a
registrar.
With unbounded amazement he
read it.. It was dated in the
October of Um previous year, and
set forth the fact that in the
parish of St. Pancras, London, James
Richardson and Dorn Langton had
been married. The names of the wit-
nsses were there, and Nit. Groves had
not the Mot doubt that it was a gen-
uine document.
"Dhl you show this to anyone?" he
asked.

said Carter. "The lady Must ap-
veer."

ANTIQUES
The eighteenth century seems to
have been it remarkable Period for
the bringiug together of craftsmen in
various industries working In har-
mony in their claferent spheres to
evolve from antigee motives (ho cre-
ations destined to revoluttonize then
existing artistic handicraft,
Two of Britain's most useful and
ever necessary commercial enterprises,
pottery -making and furniture -making,
arose like the. phoenix from the ashes
of .antiquity at this period, and, cham-

master craftsmen, josiab. Wedgwood
end Thomas Chippendale ,established
the union of interests which will
carry the joint industries hand, in
band through all time.
The twenty-two century old Port-
land, or Barberina vase, made • of
glees, universally regarded as the
finest antique stillpreserved to us,
gave joaiali Wedgwood the inepira-
tion which led to the cast range of
, ornamental forms in pottery, •which
• not only secured for his country the
worlds trade in the classes of shape
and. material invented by him, which
marked an epocli in the history of
ceramics, but also provided a reason
for the Chippendale, HepPelwhite,
Sheraton and Adams influence, which
determined the styles of the cabinets
in and upon which these ornaments'
were to be displayed, protected and
preserved.
a These cabinet creations in their
turn had developed from the antiques
of Egypt, Greece, Italy aild th.e Orient,
and'it is quite easy to trace in them
the oharecteristica of the five orders
of ancient architecture, the Tuscan,
the Doric, the Tonle, the Roman and
the Corinthian, as also the Oriental
fretwork „motifs which figuratively
and actually threw light upon the ob-
jects of art the cabinets contsined.
As the secrets of the sepulchre sur-
rounded the first periods of vase pro-
duction, the "Barberinl" was a mortu-
ary ern-so'the association of pottery
and furniture, re combined decorative
.features, raised the veil of the tomb's
d•arknessand diffused light upon the
work of the artificer in both indus-
tries.

Japan's Sacred Places.
Japan abounds with sacred places -
Shintoist and Buddhist -formerly re-
puted for the appearances of the eo-
called "Dragon's Lamp." This.. is a
mysterious light that comes out of it
pond, lake or sea and alights on a
certain tree, mostly on a certain night.
It was held that the light was dedi-
cated by a dragon, dwelling in the
water to a god whose shrine stood
near the trees. For example, the
famous Ryuto of the temple of Avalo-
kitesvara on Naguert Hill, Province of
Kii, made its annual aseent from the
seat to a pine tree in the preeincti
every ninth night of "the seventh
moon,. At the, midnight of the six-
teenth of every math, a Ryuto came
from the northeast offing to the so-
called "Dragon's Lamp Pine," near the
shrine of Itiandjusri at Kiredo, Pro-
vince of Tango; whereas on the same
ancther light, named "Celestial
Lamp," made its descent front the
heavens every sixteenth night of the
first, fifth and ninth months.

The hother is on fire. Hamilton is

with the 91st • of the old land, the
Argyll and Sutherland Ilighlandere,

the name Bruce. awakes many unmet
ries! We 'remember Bannocithern,
and ail the fighting of 'Wallace and
Bruce which led up to that great
Victory for freedom. "Scots who lute
wh Wallace bled" must rally to the
call of a Bruce. If aermany wins,
freedom dies, and every man cif Sot-
tish blood must now Hee and keep the
heritage with the great men et old
se, valiantly fought for,
'rho 173ad ,Canadian Highlanders
stould appeal to all Men whose ances-
try goes back to Glasgow, to Stirling,
to the west of Scotland and to Suther-
landshire, Here is a regiment for
every man, who is it Campbell. The
Pipe -march of the regiment is The
Campbells are Coming,"
'The pipe band is in able hands to
keep up the glorious tradition of the
PiPea A Highlaud piper plays in the
thick of the fighting, appealing to the
men through the tunes familiar from
childhood -tunes to make the blood
quicken in their veins. The other day
we read of Piper Laidlaw, of the
King's Own Scottish Borderers, who
revived the exhausted spirits of the
Borderers at the baffle of Loos by
jumping on the, parapet, and coolly
struting up and down, he played the
tune of "'March,. March, Ettrick and
Teviotdale." His example and the
auld Scotch air brought them to their
feet, and, led by a young Scotch -Cana-
dian, they jumped the parapet and
charged the enemy's position. Laid-
law was wounded; continued platen,
and is now a V. C. for his gallant be-
haviour.'
Another glorious tradition which is
to be maintained in the 173rd Canad-
ian Highlanders, and which la foster -
ea in every Highland regiment, is the
fine feeling existing between ofticera
and mon. Thie relationship dates
back to the.days of the old clans,
when the clansmen followed tae chief
and the chief yecognized kinship with
every member of the elan. A High- •
land regiment is proverbincian-
nish but teb.at a splendidequalitv that
Is! The regiment is erre big family,
every one sticks together to keep tha
good name of the regiment to the fore
-the regiment comes first every time.
No wonder the Highland regimeut;
get splendid result. On one occasion
General Wolfe, whose own bealth was
wretclied ,was giving an aide-de-camp
an order calling for the execution of
dangerous piece of work to be taken
to an officer who was in hospital.
The aide reminded the general that
the officer was ill. Wolfe replied:
"I dont care how ill be is. I want
to know how much spirit he has got."
A Highland regiment cultivates, fos-
ters, strengthens the spirit of e0Mr,
radeship which holds like a elmin in
the day of stress and inspires the
regiment to stand firm in the da a of
trialli:
Te 173rd Canadian Highlanders
will also have a splendid brass band.
Hamilton has been famous for the
13th and 91.st Braes Bands, and every
effort will be made to have a 'good
band.
The second in command will be
Major Frank Morison, D. S. 0„ who
got his decoration when with tae 16,11.
Canadian Scottish at Pestubert. The
refl.:intent will be wen officered. The
173rd has all the makings of a, great
regiment. Its appeal is to men of
Scottish Wood and descent. What an
opportunity for young men to join Re
ranks? Recruits are fast earning in,
not only front Hamilton, but frem
many districts in Ontario. Keen your
eye on the 173rd Canadian Highland-
ers -Canada's youngest Highland regi-
ment.
