In the upper part of his house was a large room in which were stored many and varied curios. There were relics of war, pottery that had been dug 'up by archaeologists after having been buried some 2,000 or 3,000 years. There were Egyptian or- naments and one mummy. Jewels that, had decorated the person of some an- cient princess were in cases, and even those intrinsically valuable were ex. posed to the clutches of any one who might take a fancy to them. On this particular morning when Mr, Willlam Donnay sat reading in his study there was a knock at the door and his valet, Simpson, entered. Mr. Donnay looked up inquiringly. "There's been" more stealing, Mr. Donnay," said Simpson. "The amber necklace has been taken from its case in the museum." Mr. Donnay's brow darkened. "And the diamond pendant has gone with it." but when he did he said: "Well, Simp- son, I presume I must investigate these thefts, I'll see my lawyers and learn what can be done." Gerald Donnay had seen the valet enter his grandfather's study and fol- lowed him, stopping near enough to the door, that Lad been left partly open, to hear what was sald.

BOY LIEUTENANT, "Our Spirits Endure," He Wrote-- | Letter Was Enclosed in the Will of the Dead Young Hero, » The following remarkably touching letter from 2nd Lieut. E. L. Town- send, London Regiment, who was killed in France, appears in the Lon- don Daily Mail. It was sent to his father, W. L. Townsend, 2-4, New Basinghall street, E.C., enclosed in the gallant boy's will, to be opened only in the event of his death: -- September, 8, 1916. | Dearest Mother and Father, i You are reading this letter because I have gone under. ' Of course I know you will be terri- bly cut up, and that it will be a long time before you get over it, but get over it you must. You must be im- bued with the spirit of the Navy and Army to "carry on." You will still have little Donald, who is safe at any rate for some while. If he should ever have to go on active service I somehow feel that his invariable 800d luck will bring him through. You must console yoursel with the thought that I am happy, whereas if 1 had lived--who knows? Remember the saying attributed to Solon, "Call no man happy till he is dead." Thanks to your self-saeri- icing love and devotion I have haa a happy time all my life. Death will have delivered me from experiencing unhappiness, It has always seemed to me a very door during another servant's absence," |pititul thing what little difference the guessed Harley, and he was right, disappearance of a man makes to any institution, even though he may have played a very important role. A mo- ment's regret, a moment's pause for re-adjustment, and another man steps forward to carry on, and the machine clanks onward with scarce a check, The death of a leader of the na- tion is less even than a seven days' wonder, To a very small number it is given to live In history; their num- ber is scarcely one in ten millions. To the rest it is only granted to live in their united achievements.~ But for this war 1 and all the others would have passed into oblivion like the countless myriads before us, We should have gone about our trifling business, eating, drinking, sleeping, hoping, marrying, giving in marriage, and finally dying with no more achieved than when we were born, with the world no different for our lives. Even the cattle in the field fare no worse than this. They, too, eat, drink, sleep, bring forth young, and die leaving the world no different from what they found it. But we shall live for ever in the results of our efforts, We shall live as those who by stell--were I have done so now. One sometimes hears people say, when a young man is killed, "Poor fellow, cut off so early, without ever having had a chance of knowing and enjoying life." But for myself, thanks to all that both of you have done, I have crowded into twenty years enough pleasures, sensations, and experiences for an ordinary life- | time, Never brilliant; sometimes almost | a failure in anything I undertook; my sympathies and my interests somehow or other--why, I cannot so wide that there was scarcely an amusement, an occupa- tion, a feeling which I could not ap- preciate. And as I have said, of most of these I had tasted. 1 don't suppose I ever met any- | body who as not my superior in| knowledge or achievement in one particular subject; but there his knowledge and his interest ended, whereas my interests comprised near- ly the whole field of human affairs and activities, And that is why it is no hardship for me to leave the world so young. Well, I have talked a lot of rot (hich must have given 'you great Pain to read and which will not bring you much comfort. I had intended to try and say words of comfort, but | that scarcely being possible, it has drifted into a sort of confession of faith. To me has been given the dasier task; to you is given the more dici- cult--that. of living in sorrow. Be of good courage that at the end you may give a good ount, Kiss Donald for me. Adieu, best of ' parents.--Your loving son, ERIC. -- ' "Out here we all thought him one of the keenest and most capable offi- cers we possessed, and I can assure you he was thoroughly popular with his men. : "That he was absolutely fearless I know from my own experience in at- tack with 'him. Just before he led us over the par- apet he impressed upon us that there was to be no turning back whatever the position. *He did all that an officer could do by personal example to instil a measure of confidence in us all." . Such is a soldier's tribute to this gallant young officer, a youth of twenty, killed when leading an at- tack on a position on the Somme. This letter is, in its way, a glorious war shrine. Reading it now or in time of stress that may be before us, every patriot will be stirred by this hero's words to fresh and high en- deavor." | SO SHY. | Also Demure as to Coloring Is This Late Style Turban.
