It had been papered over and

London Oheonick.
The door sprang open and show-

a 'What ever are these'?" she ask-
ed. as she lifted up a string.
• "Look at the box," I suggested,
and she read out the word pomand-
ers. We were no wiser, but on re-
ferring to a dictionary we found
that pomanders were perfumed
belle formerly carried in the
pocket, or else worn around the
neck, or suspended frem the girdle.
A faint old-world perfume stall
scented them, in fact, the whole
cupboard was still full of eague
street scents as of half forgotten
memories. Somehow the presen0e

and the heavy perfame rose, like in-

chitties. We lifted up the, first. It
was a petticoat heavy with jeweled
einbroidery. Among geregeoee silk-
en flowers quaint peacocks and
pheasants strutted. It must, have
taken years to work, and the thick
white nein: was stiff witir the em-
broidery, while the weave, a the
whole was endrmous. We laid it
tenderly awaytas we picked, up the
next garment. It wae a Matt",
cloak. A deep wine viler outside;
eiraple and plain. But the lining
was literally a piece of golden
cloth. The flowers of the, precious
metal covered nearly the whole of
the white eilk on which they, were
either woven or worked. Perhaps
it was such a coat Raleigh had laid
under the feet of his queen.
Hester, my cousin, shook out tho
heavy folds and made as if to
throw the cloak over her shoulders.
As she did so a gash in the lining
showed up grimly. The dark
stains around the edge showed that
the wearer had been etabbed in the
back, With a. erhadder we hastily
folded up the cloak a,nel laid it
aside, wondering what tragedy had
left its marks on that fear cloth of
gold lining.
We took .out the treasured gar-
ments that formed the store in the
hox. Evidently they had illustret-
ed some life story, for Among the

were dainty half -worn shoes, and
