The duke shrugged his shoulders

Sir Basil did not know; he was
asking for information. Some ono
had told hire that a political writer
lived at Southwood.

"1 have been so lone; away from

"My dear Sir Besil, you have no
reason whatever to regret your ig-
norance with regard to stay. Ho
was one of those who lived on the
people and misled them—incited thein
to riot and rebellion. Ito never did
them tiny good; and if my memory
serves ire rightly, he was once im-
prisoned for treason."
"Rather a stormy career," said
Sir Ilasil.
"He wroto one or two good things
in their way," said the duke, "but
based on a wrong principle. The best
rpamphlet was called 'An Appeal to
he I'eople, by Otto who Serves
'Them.' It nmado some little sensa-
tion at the time. As you seem in-
tertstecl, I will make (come inquiries
and tell you the result."
Sir Vasil dreamed of Ilettie all
that night—a fact which he explained
to himself by saying that he thought
a good deal about her singing. When
he woke free: his sleep, ho was mur-
muring to hhnseit the+ name of
"Ilet tie Bay." 'there was a strange
charm in it for him. Ile liked to

few days later. "I Cad that he is

"I expected so," returned Sir
Basil.
"Ile is a dangerous dog with hie

"Why," asked Sir Basil, muro sud-
denly then politely.
Ilut the duke did not. seem at all

What if ho should ace tho beautiful
singer, or if, froth one of those flow-

her voice?
After walking so far his courage
}uta failed hire; ho passed through
the lane, and did not even look at
the cottage he had come to see.
Ile felt ashamed of himself, and
went back again—the lane was a long
one. %%hen he returned ho found
that an elderly man was standing
watching the passago of a ship at
sea. The scene was so beautiful that
he was charmed with it—the blue
waters, tho white -sailed ship, the
grassy hill, the peaceful green lane,
the picturesque, (lower -hidden cot-
tage. The man stood looking over
a low ivy -hidden wall. Sonro in-
stinct. told hien that this was Mar-
tin Ray.
"Phis is n lovely scene, sir," Sir
Basil remarked, as ho paused in
front of the old man.
"It is well enough." ho Paid.
And then Sir Basil was slightly
disconcerted. Ho hardly knew what
next to say. Ho stood and looked
first at the blue rippling waters, and
then at the stern, worn. haggard
man. It was better perhaps to be
frank.
"I am looking," ho said quietly,
"for the house of Martin stay. Can
you tell me if this bo it?"
"I ant Martin Hay," answered the
other, briefly.
And again Sir Basil was nonlluss-
ed.
The man raised himself frotn his
leaning attitude, and looked at the
han(fsonme, dark face before him.
"Von wonted to see my house and
mei---why?" he asked.
And then Sir 13asil'9 sen:o of good
breeding came to his aid.
"My treason is very simple," re-
plied Sir Basil, raising his fiat. "I

I wished to see ono who rightly or

"Are you of my way of thinking?"

among the roistering crowds at St.
James's Fair. "I went but once to
the fair," wrote Lady Cavendish.
"Sir James gallant•d us thither, and
in so gcneepus a humor that he pre-
sented us all with fairings; the
Queen's fairing almost cost }rim
twenty guineas."
When Christina, ex -Queen of Swe-
den.
w�
den. was once staying at an int, tho
Queen of Denmark disguised herself
as a servant, and in this character
so ingratiated herself with Christina
that 8110 chatted unreservedly with
her and, incidentally, said some un-
palatable things about the Danish
King, the pseudo -waitress's husband.
When, not long after, she learnt that
she had been unhosoming herself to
Iler Majesty of Denmark. Christina
was highly amused. "What!" she
exclaimed, "that servant -girl who
was standing there all dinner -time
was the Queen of Denmark! Well,
there has happened to her what often
happens to curious people --they
make discovery of muro things than
oro agreeable to them. It is her own
fault, for, as I have not the gift of
divination, I did not. look for her
under such a dress as that."
At the time of this adventure at
the Inn Christina herself was travell-
ing in masculine attire as the "son
of the Count. of Dohnn," ono of
countless disguises she assumed in
HER LOVE OF ADVENTURE.
It was front a very different motive,
however, that Anne of Warwick, af-

found an effectual concealment as
scullery -maid in a paean house in
London.
Peter the (trent of Russia was of
a frolicsome turn, and had many re-
markable experiences in various dis-
guises. When he was in London he
actually attended a masked ball at
the Temple in the dress of a butcher;
and on another occasion ho drove
his slodgo through 5t. Petersburg,
singing carols and thankfully penk-
eting the coins thrown to hien 1,yllis
ignorant sutjects.
Charles VI. of France once had a
novel experience Asa spectator of a
State procession in his own capital,
for we learn that "ho himself went
to tee the procession in disguise,
mounted behind one of his servitors,
his eagerness to enjoy his own spec-

way for the pageant. The �i(ing

blows as a good joke."

How Cowhides and Sheepskins Are
Manipulated.
Leather is becoming more and
moro of a puzzle to retailers. Sub-
stitution of leather:; is now fro deftly
practised that undoubtedly many n
buyer is completely fooled. ;the tricks
of the tanners aro innumerable, and
as these arc masked behind the prac-
tises of the shoo manufacturer, the
shoe retailer has a tough proposition
to nsct.tein whether or not he is
getting real or imitation goods.
Cowhides and skenpskins are among
the cheapest of hides and skins in
the market, but by a few clever ma-
nipulations tanners make theist valu-
able. A cowhide is tanned. Then
it is put through the spatting ma-
