Harry Ortnerod, proscribed traitor to the British crown as a Stuart partisan, returning from without France to London friends or prospects and In danger of apprehension and execution as a traitor, rescues Aider-ma- n Robert Juggins from a band of assassins. Juggins proves to be the grandson of a former steward of Ormerod'a father, to whom Juggins feels himself indebted. Ormerod tells Juggins he has abandoned the Stuart cause, believing it to be unworthy and Its real aim the aggrandizement of France at tbe expense of England.

He smoked In silence for several aionients. , "I am resolved to take you fully Into my confidence, Master Harry, he began at last, and I should not do so If I doubted your discretion. He fell silent again. Did It not seem strange to you that such an assault as you saw last night should have been made upon an ordinary merchant?" he asked suddenly. I thought they meant robbery." Robbery? They never made a demand upon me. They meant murder. The truth Is, lad, I am at grips with a deadly enemy. Tis a curious story, concerned with , high politics, great spoils of trade, Intrigues of church and state mayhap, the future of a continent. And as It happens Robert the hub'of it. y "Do you think you would like to play a hand on Englands behalf and - to checkmate the very foreign Influences which sickened you of the- Jacobite cause? I need a strong- arm combined with an agile mind, a mind used to French ways and the French tongue. I would have answered, but he ' checked me. If you accept you muRt be prepared to tight your old.frieuds, for the enemy I have spoken of is Jacobite at : heart and works under cover for the return of. the Pretender through the weakening of England and the paramount Influence of France. Remember that before you commit-yoursel"Even as I told you last night. Master Juggins, I am for England now," 1 answered. "If such a plot hs you speak of Is under way, then surely tls for loyal Englishmen to thwart It. Count me with you, I pray. "I will, he said quietly. Now hark to these facts. At the Instance of myself and my associates in the Company of Merchant Traders to the Western Plantations, the provincial government of New York several years ago secured the royal assent to a law prohibiting the sale of Indian trading goods to the French In Canada. Our object was twofold. The best and cheapest trading goods are manufactured In England. If we can keep them to ourselves and compel the 'eiich to use more costly and less durable goods made on the Continent tv halJ be able to underbid them with fog-ree- bjr Brcntano'a.) WNU Szrviea the Indians. So the fur trade will come more and more into our hands. Juggins leaned forward and tapped the knee. "North America, he went on, Is the richest land In all the world how rich It Is or how vast no man knows. Twill require centuries to exploit It. Since first we colonized there we have contended with France, not only for further power, but for the actual right to breathe. Our two countries cannot agree to divide this domain, limitless though It be. Sooner or later one must oust tbe oilier. The fur trade Is the key to it ull. It Is so, because neither the French nor we are yet sufficiently powerful to Ignore the strength of the Indian tribes. The fur trade is the source of the savages for securing trade goods. They will be bound closest to tlia country. which gives them the best terms. If we can deprive the French of the me on , It?" thwarting "More so than ever. But I see not how I can he of service to you." If the lords of trade have received the orders I expect, then you can be of great service to me and to your country. Come, you shall have your first lesson. You may attend me to the hearing before the lords of trade. 1 wish you to observe what passes. at hearing, and to study Murray. For If he wins his stay, as 1 fear he will, then It Is my purpose to send you to New York for such evidence as will wreck his conspiracy. And I will go gladly," I said, a thrill of exultation In my heart at the bare thought of a mans part to play. He collected some documents and mops, placed them In a green string-baand gave It to me to carry. And remember," he cautioned me at the door, do you keep at least two paces behind me. Speak only when I speak to you and hold your head low and your shoulders stooped Slouch, If you can. If any address you look stupidly at them and mumble an answer. I will explain tliRt you are g A GREAT EVENTS GRAHAM BONNER .TWr'- VKIM IYVSMFM But none of the men who stopped Master Juggins during our walk deigned to notice the humble prentice lad who followed him. I avoided all scrutiny and reached Whitehall with considerable more than I had started with. The lords of trade sat in a lofty chamber of a dirty gray stone building over against the river. At one end was a dais with a long, closed-idesk across It. Behind this nodded tuy lords In periwigged majesty, five of them, two fat and pompous, one small and birdlike, one tall and cadaverous and one who looked like nothing at all. That Is Tom I'elham, whispered Master Juggins, pointing at the last as we took our seats. But I had already transferred my gaze to an extraordinary creature who stood by a window on the opposite side of the room. It was a black man, squat and enormously broad, whose long, powerful arms reached almost to the floor. As I watched him, fascinated, his eyes found my fact and he surveyed me, apparently without any human Interest whatsoever, but as a wild beast might consider a fat stag when too full to care about a kill. lie was dressed In a bright-relivery coat with gold lace, and the cocked hat which he held was covered with silver embroidery. I felt Juggins tugging at my arm. Do you see him?" he whispered. I never saw anything so hideous In my life," I answered. Jngglns laughed, as his eyes ' followed mine. No, I meant uot the uegro. Twas Murray I spoke of. He sits several seats farther on." I looked as directed and picked (Ail a man who lounged back comfortably in a chalrT talking with a group of merchants who seemed to bang on his words. He was elegantly clad, yet very quietly, rather in the fashion of n fine gentleman than a' rich trader. Though sitting, he showed himself to be a large man of massive frame. He wore an Immense periwig la the prevailing mode, and. there was about him an air of pride and Though he must have been middle-aged- , he carried himself like a young man or a soldier.

Douglas, when he K'urd about the trip the next morning, said he liked the water much belter than the land, but Dorothy was a little afraid that the bout might upset and she hadnt yet learned to swim more than blx strokes at a time.

Sanity and Insanity Matter of Emotions Where mental disorder becomes Insanity it Is difficult to say. Physicians today do not like to use the word Insanity, on account of the difficulty of defining It. Sanity Is a social concept A sane person Is willing to with other people In the affairs of life, and has confidence In others In varying degrees, as Ills Judgment guides him. He has a direction of movement and purpose which he is able to control. Insanity Is the reverse of this. Yet it Is easily seeD from this definition that a perfectly sane person can be violently Insane for u minute, five minutes, or half an hour. By the excess of his emotions he can be cut off for the lime being from rational judgment -- of anything or cooperation with anybody, and from any sense of ordered direction of his actions. But sooner or later his reason reasserts Itself, and in repeated circumstances of the same sort Is likely to be on Its guard. Insane people have periodic or psrma Bent Inability to overcome their emotions. Future Thrill Who will be the first to go under the North pole In a submarine?

H OWThetallredIs haired old woman who asked this question of the Scottish envoy was herself a queen one of the greatest In history. She was Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Mil of England. The sovereign about whom she was making inquiry was her kinswoman, the beautiful Mary Queen of Scots. The Scottish enoy answered cautiously : "She Is a little taller than your mnjosty." Thcn," declnred Elizabeth, "she Is a little too tall for perfect beauty." This anecdote Illustrates one of the countless phases of Elizabeth's amazing character. Vain of the beauty she did not possess, modest regarding the genius she did possess, unjust and capricious as a woman, just and wise as a queen, firm, yet often irresolute, strong yet sometimes pitiably weak, honest and open In policy, yet crafty and hypocritical In exceptional oases, a believer In the peoples rights, yet personally a cruel tyrant ; highly educated, yet with the shrewish vocabulary of a fishwotnan these are but a few of the countless Inconsistencies and paradoxes In this most remarkable of rulers.

She ruled forty-fiv- e years. Her first step was to rid the country of all Spanish Influence and to reform religious and governmental affairs. In the matter of religion she erred as cruelly on the side of Protestantism as had Mary and the Span lards In behalf of Catholicism. Elizabeth surrounded herself with the wisest ministers utid counselors, and was guided by them In all matters save one. Tbe one exception was the subject of marriage. A score of suitors, from Philip II to tbe son of Henry II of France, sought her hand.

"He hath connections with . the French, and, too, with the Jacobites; but they would be well covered, no doubt Murray owns the Provincial Fur company of New York, which Is the largest of all the trading agencies. He hath set himself deliberately to drive out of existence all the Independent traders and secure the entire tgade for himself. Tns trade with the French in Canada likewise Is in his hands. "Before the provincial government passed the prohibitive law of which 1 spoke, he carried on this trade openly, and the French traders, helped by a government subsidy, more often than not vnderbtd our traders using English goods, mind you, for the purpose. And then the French traders would sell their skins In the London market at a lower price than our own traders could afford to charge. "After the passage of the law, In spite of efforts to enforce It, Murray contrived to build up a clandestine means of shipping goods to Canada, and while the French are. more pressed for cheap trade goods than they were, nevertheless they are better off than they should be, and our traders are Now tbe time put at a' disadvantage. for which the law was passed la expired. and the provincial government hath enacted it again.
