Cynthia herself had written the ad- drees in the hotel register„ addiug a request that letters, if any, were to be forwarded 'to Windermere. By ::chance,: the smiling la$d1aAY curiosity as to "Fitzroy" raised ,a new 8y LDu1s Trracy IOopyriglilt by McLeo d &' Allen,' '1ogodt'o, ",Me must 'ibe a gentleman;:' she ,said, "because he "belongs to' the Thames Rowing Club;' he also' spoke and; acted like one. Why did he em- pley an assistant chauffeur?' ,That is most Unusual!' Vanrenen., could only explain that- arrangements hat arrangements for the tour were made during hie absence in France, so he was not fully. posted as to details. "Oki, they did not intend to remain here on Saturday, but Miss Vanrenen, likeplace,n s medto be d the'and eq rather taken. with the hotel—" whereat the millionaire nodded his complete agreement -"so Mr. Fitzroy telegraphed for a man named Dale to come to Hereford. There "was some misunderstanding, however, and Dale only arrived yesterday in the car. He left by an early train this morn- ing, after doing the garage work." Simmonds, candor: itself about Me denhani,'had said no word of the Earl Of Fairbolm.e or Dale. Mar•igny, et Coarse, was silent as to the 8JarI, eine it inight have ruined his' last 'faint hope of success had the two per- plexed fathers met; Simmonds's re- cent outburst opposed an effectual bar to farther questioning; so Van- renen was free to deduce all sorts of possibilities from the existence of yet another, villainous chauffeur. Unhappily, he availed himself of the opportunity to the full. The fair countryside and the good food of the March counties made little or no ap- peal to him' thenceforth. He pined to be in Chester, yet 'restrained the impulse that urged a frenzied scurry to the Banks of the Dee, for he was adamant in his resolve to hate joined her 'as the outcome of a mere whim after she lead met Mrs. Leland. The Mercury arrived at Ludlow long before Vanrenen crossed the Wye Bridge at Hereford. Meclenham stop- ped the car at "The Feathers," that famous magpie among British Inns, where Cynthia admired and photo- graphed Borne excellent woodcarving, and saw an iron -studded front door which has shut out revellers and the night on each alternate round of the clock since 1609, if not longer. If they hurried over luncheon they, were content to dawdle in the pic- turesque streets, and Cynthia was re- luctant to ;leave the fine old castle, in which Milton's "Masque of Comus" was first played on Michaelmas night of 1034. At first, she yielded only to the flood of memories pent in every American brain when the citizen of the New World stands in one of these treasrire-hou(;es of history and feels the pasing of its dine pageants; when they stood together in the ruined ban- queting hall, Meclenham gave play to his imagination, and strove to recon- struct a scene once spread before the ,bright eyes of a maiden long since dead. "Your will please regard yourself," he said, "as the Lady Alice Egerton, daughter of the Earl of Bridgewater, Lord: President of the Marches of Wales, who, with her two brothers, was benighted in the Forest of Hee- wood riding to Ludlow to witness her father's installation in his high office. Milton was told of her adventures by Henry Lawes, the musician, and' he wrote the 'Masque of Comus' to de- light her and her friends, Have you read 'Comus'?" "No," said Cynthia, almost timidly, for she was beginning to fear this masterful man whose enthusiasm caught her to his very soul at such moments. "Ah, but' you shall.

"But—you take my breath away; bane you, then, delved so deep 1n the' mine of English history that you can people 'most every ruined pile in Britain with the men and women of tbe dead years?" He laughed, and colored a little, with true British confusion at having been caught in anextravagant n mood. "There you lay bare the mummer," he ,said. "What clever fellows actors would be if they' grasped the under- lying realities of all the fine words they 0100111) No; I quote 'Cornus' only because on one half-forgotten oc- casion I played in it." "Where?" The prompt question took him un- aware. "At Fairholnre." he said, "Is that another castle?" "No—merely a Georgian residence." "I seem to have beard of it--some- where—1 can't remember." He remembered quite well—was not Mrs. Dever, student of Burke, sit- ting in the ear at the castle gate'? Obeeve must hurry," he saki shame- facedly. "I` have kept you here too long, for we have yet to Trace huge forests and unhar bour'd heaths, Infamous Trills and sandy perilous wilds, - before we see Chester—and Mrs, Le- land." Witb that the bubble was pricked, and staid Ludlow became a busy mar- ket -town again, its streets blocked by the barrows of hucksters and far niers' carts, its converging roads thronged with cattle. At Shrewsbury Medenham was vouchsafed a gleam of frosty humor by Mrs. Devar's anxiety lest her son might have obeyed her earlier injunctions, and kept tryst at "The Raven" after a11. That trivial diversion soon passed. He hoped that Cynthia would share the front seat with him in the final run to Chester; but she remained tucked up in the' tonneau, and 'the dread that kept her: there was bitter-sweet to him since it betrayed her increasing lack of con- fidence in herself. The rendezvous was at the Gros venor Hotel, and Meclenham bad made up his minnd how to act long before the red towers of Chester Cathedral, glowed above the city's haze in the fire of a magnificent sunset. Dale was waiting on the pavement when the 'Mercury drew up at the galleried en- trance to the hotel. Medenham leaped down. "Good -by, Miss Vanrenen," he said, holding out his hand, "1 can catch an early train to town by hurrying away at once. This is Dale, who will take my place. He is thoroughly re- liable, and an even more careful dri-, ver ban I am:' "Are you really going—like that?". And now you, the heroine of the nae- quo, must try to imagine that you are lost in a wild woad represented by a carpet spread here, in the center of the hall. .

Near you' are your brothers, Lord Bracltl'ey and Thomas Egerton, so blinded by sprites, that they cannot see you, though ween enough to note the bright eyes and flushed cheeks of other ladies of high degree 'bidden to Ludlow from neighboring shires for the merry- making. And mark you, this is no rude gathering of unlettered squires, and rough -men-at-arms. How is its possible that all uncultured throng should listen rapturously to the no-; blest performance of the kind` that, exists in any :language, wherein each• speech is a majestic soliloquy, elo- quent, sublime, with an uncloying Word -music acclaimed by three cen- turies?" The sheer wonder in Cynthia's face warned him that this brief excursion into the Pages of Macaulay had better cease, so he focussed his thoughts on the actual, representation .of,the mas- que in which he had taken part ten years ago- at Fairholme, "I moat ask you to 'concede that the lords and ladies, the civic digni- taries and their wives , for " Whose amusement' Milton spread the pinions of his genius, were -far better equipped to understand his lyric fights than any similar assemblage that ,could be. collected haphazard in some modern castle.

Text of the Lesson, Mark ix, 1-13, Memory Verses, 9, 10—Golden' Text, Luke ix, 35 (R. V.)—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This lesson, like the last, is recorded by Matthew and Luke as well as by Mark. It was the one occasion on which the glory which was always in Him was allowed to shine through in this, particular way. In the tabernacle God and in the temple the gfor o was f always in the holy of holies above the mercy seat, between the cherubim, but the veil concealed it—the veil which was rent in twain from the top to the bottom in the midst when He died and, which, we are told in Heb. x, 20, retire sented His flesh or body. ' John says that "the word was made flesh and tabernacled among us, and we beheld His glory." As he makes no record of the trans- figuration, possibly he refers to it iu this saying, as well as to His whole life on earth. Peter undoubtedly refers to the transflguration wnen he says, "We made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and were eyewitnesses of His majes- ty," for he mentions the holy mount and the words from the Father (John 1, 14; II Pet. 1, 10.18), In connection with the cotning of Christ In glory which He mentioned in last week's lesson Ete said that some of those who stood there would not taste of death till they had seen the kingdom of God come with power or the Son of Man coming In His king- dom. Then after six intervening days, or, as Luke says, about eight days, He took Peter and James and John into a high mountain, apart by them- selves, and as He prayed He was trims - figured before them. It seems to me that the wonder was not that the glory now shone through the 'veil of His flesh, but that it was always there, yet concealed., But it was, as to His whole life, the time of His appearing as one to us, sin excepted (Heb, 11, 14). His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white and glistening, shining, white as the light, white as snow: When Moses came down from the mount the shin of his face shone so that be had to wear a veil white he talked with the people (Ex. xxxiv, 20- 35). That must have been reflected tight. He did not wear the veil when he -went in to talk with the Lord and Possibly only after be had done talking with the people. Stephen's face seems to base reflected something of the same light (Acts vi, 15). How wonderful the statements. concerning us in Matt. xiii, 43; I John HI, 2, Consider for a little these two men from heaven who are talking with :Testis and whom the three favored disciples saw and . seemed to know, for Peter mentions them by name. It was over 1,400 years since Moses died and was burled. on Mount Nebo (Deist. xxxiv) and perhaps 900 ,years since.

How often we talk as foolishly as Peter, who suggested the, three tabernacles, not knowing lwhat to say. That is a good word for us "Awake thou that steepest. and arise from the; dead. and Christ shall give thee light" (Eph. ti, 14).

(Claimant to Throne of Brazil Fought With Burglar Who Stole Priceless Treasures Prince Louis of Orleans and Bra - "gauze., Comte d'Eu, the claimant of e throne of Brazil, ,distinguished himself by grappling with a burglar `at the Chateau d'Eu, near Dieppe, and ecovering the Imperial Crown of raziil, with which the thief was mak- ung off. This crown, which is re- ig iously preserved' 'at the old castle, s that of the former Emperors of :Brazil, who belonged to one 'branch lof the Portuguese ;,Royal Familye The, Mast Emperor, Dom Pedro, after a long and prosperous reign,, was dethroned 1859, when a Republic was estab ;fished, and spent his declining years in Paris. His daughter Isabelle mar- irled the Comte d''BIu, whose son is the present pretender. Some months ago three jewelled eters 'of the crone and some valuable firings vanished, appropriated by an un ltnown hand. A diligent search gave no clue, and the Cointe`reconciled him, self to the loss. Now, through` his adventure with the burglar, he again ,bas possession of tie jewels. Prince Louis discovered a raan whom he recognized as Louis Nieutin, who had formerly been eniployed Qs 'a footman,, crouching on a staircase of the castle' behind a door. Nieutin,: a uscular young, <fellow, of twenty- hree, nadir a rush at the Prince, but the latter's athletic training 'enabled nim to overcome the intruder quick y. When searched, Nieutin's overcoat was found to contain the imperial crown of Brazil, which he bad bent and twisted so as to he able to con- ceal it in the lining of his ample coat, In the same garment was, another smaller crown which had belonged to Dom Pedro, and the ,star and on the burglar's lett hand were three of the late Emperor's priceless rings. Ap- parently, he bad stolen them and hid- den them in the castle with the in- tention of returning leer them when the search had been abandoned. In addition to Itis booty, Nieutin carried a loaded revolver and .a huge dagger. It is said that after being discharged from the Castle Nieutin bad enlisted in an artillery regiment in Corsica. For some reason that is not clear Nieutin had been discharged from hie regiment at the end of six months. He arrived in Paris with a well filled trunk and took a room in an hotel in the Montmartre district. He paid his bills regularly and spent money liberally. He disappeared oc- casionally for a day or two, and, on returning, explained that he had been on a trip to the seaside.

NEW' "IIRIGIfiL[ AIRSHIIPS Novel Ideas ;Embodied in Invention of Birininpham Man An interesting novel farm of dirig' ibie airship liar lately been submitted to the 'British Government by ;Mr. W. Henry Bailey of Birmingham, formerly Civil • of elle Sbllth African Civ Scivic.e which departs in many ways from all existing r&Ypes of collapsible and non - collapsible airships. The Briti.sb Gov- ernment overnment is at present engaged in trials of other farms of airships, and are at present not proceeding'further with Mr. Bailey's patent,but the 3 s French Government 15 in, communl- Cation with Mr. Bailey on the subject of his invention. The nventor claims for his new dirigible airship hat it is suitable for transc o can naval, or mili- tary purpose$. The principal features: of this invention are a% follows:—The gas envelope constructed constructed of fire proof materials, and is arranged as a large spiral tube 'to allow of expan- sion and contraction, and to minimise risk of explosion. This spiral wind: round about an open cylinder o'e alu- minium alloy, or other ''light'm ate rial . The object of the cylinder is to r crease mobility,•arid to allow of t ave!I ing against the wind when necessary, which the present balloons in use will not always do. This cylinder is provided with e cut -wind metal sheath, to wbich the gas envelope, elevators, and bracings are attached, and may allow of a Gnome epgine and aviator to be fixed and seated within. The current of ail passing .through the cylinder also acts upon a large tail aeroplane, combined also with Continuous end sectional aeroplanes on either side to steady the balloon. Communication, within the cylinder and tbe boat -cars, which are detach- able and waterproof, is maintained by' flexible tubes and ladders. The boat - cars are provided with small water propellers, in case of accidents when over the ocean. The additional objects aimed at to increase the speed and mobility are to combine the advantages of a "lighter -than -air ship” with a "heavier- :tban-air" one, to prevent sudden ascension, etc., also to regulate and steer by means of flexibility if de sired. Continuous steel or other meta' chains . link up the external bracings 1 which support the aeroplanes, net tinge, etc., from end to end of the balloon, which has been designed to provide against almost any eontin gency. The envelope or gas -bag is construe ted of asbesticiced and 'trbberised silk, the former ae a guard against inflam- mability, and the latter egtinst leaks through porosity. There would be a crew cf about four men tri each of the small beat -cars under the balloon, and these boate are easily detachable and quite navigable in the event of a de- scent info the sea. The propellers are situates] on each srd•, with an op- tional additional pmi,el.ar, as stated, in the bow 01 the balloon, where the auxiliary Gnome engine would be placed. The shape of the gas envelope and the balloon generally, and the open pentral cylinder, it is claimed, not only give far less air pressure, thus enab- ling the airship to travel against the 'Wind, but also gives much greater Strength and safety.
