Of courea this is a joke, but there is as much evidence to support it • as•there is to support Donnelly'S theory. . • In Shakespeare's name lies the key to •'this wonderful cryptogram.' As Mr. Don- nelly' says, the spelling "Shakespeare" was the • poet's nom de plume, while "Shakespere" was his pame, an evident change from "Shakespear." In each of the two spellings last given are ten let- ters -four vowels and six consonants. • Combine these two figures, and we have the number 46, the key to the mystery. • Turning to the forty-sixth psalm in the revised version, Itis fotind that the psalm • Is divided into three portions, each one ending with "selah.',Remember the • number -46. • Counting 46 words from the beginning of the psalm, one reads the word "shake" In the first portion, and counting 46 words from the end of the psalm one reaches the word "spear."

Tom Higgins used to hey° tt place up at the head of Lisbon street where the . tiger ,lashed his tail. The .sounds there- in were the Maar rustle of the cards, the „voice of the dealer _saying. „"How latifir wilt yen have, gentlemen?" and the forcible ejaculations of the party who failed to "fill." One night all the tables were occupied. • There was a rap on the door. Higgins, with his quiet indifference to things that did not interest him, paid no attention to the rapping. But the man outside was impatient. He kept knocking. At last Higgins went to the door, and, without unlocking it, he cried: "Who are you and what do you want?" "I am So-and-so, and I want to get in and play." • The man was a notorious loser. Tom looked aroutid at the group in the room. Then he turned to the door and said to the man outside: "Shove your money under the door and go away. That will save you 'Imo and us trouble." loin Brown and the Judge.. • At one time during the -border war, enye., In her "Reminis- • cences," John Brown had -taken several • prisoners, among them a certain judge.

In about half an hour he stopped at the bar of the Bella Union and, hear- ing a familiar voice in the direction of -, the gambling room,. 'walked itt. just in .
