tradition, does not go beyond the period
when Mr. Boss, the veteran i.liiin n.
guided ia councils. "Old Ross," as he
was affectionately called by his dsaaptes.
was a remarkable man in many ways.
Not only was he an admirable speaker,
but. as chairman, he possessed great tact
discernment and coolness, which were
sometiznes put to the severest teats, as I
shall presently show. He was a man of
profound and varied knowledge, one of
the best Greek scholars in the kingdom,
a strong and graceful writer, and a con
tributor to several of the leading' periodi
cals of London, including, I think. The
Times. With all these qualities he pos
sessed another that eminently fitted him
for his posfcr he knew how to combine
the easy going ways of the hofatnian
with the refinement of a gentleman, to
be genial and responsive yet digaiflVd
and firm, to the most motley assembly,
it seems to me, that was ever gathered
together in one room.
It was quite by accident that I discov
ered the place one evening many years
ago, when I dodged into an open door
way to escape a sudden shower. Down
a long passage was a leather padded
door with an oval glass window in it
marked "Discussion Forum." I shall
never forget my surprise and delight
when I found myself within, seated upon
a bHch of adsTynrrno hardness and
looked about on the quaint old room.
It was long and narrow and low between
decks like the cabin of a ship, and also,
like a ship, it had forms, orsettees, along
each wall behind a row of mahogany
tables, and above, near the ceiling, was
a row of square port holes for windows.
Two centuries of soot and tobacco
smoke had dyed the Soar, the walls and
ceiling, the wooden bottomed chain and
forms, to nearly the same color as the
rude old fireplace. At the top of the
room, on . great mahogany and horse
hair throne, sat the charman. Old Boss,
in his long gray beard Eke the figure of
Father Time, but with a glass of
ing toddy before him instead of the
ditionalhour glass, and a very large pipe
between his teeth. On the wall above
Old Ross hung a quaint old mirror,
flanked by a fine portrait of George
Washington on one side and on the
other by an elderly gentleman in the
fntstnma of 1830 and wearing various
jeweled orders and decorations. The
further decorations cf the wall were
limited to framed placards with various
tempting inscriptions.
Here ale and stoat were served in
huge pewter Tankards, spirits in glasses,
hot water in antique metal pots with
lids, replenished now and then from a
mm-ar;-n kettle on the hob. These deli
cacies were distributed by two perspir
ing waiters in draggled evening dress,
who new about balancing trays of
liim a and pewters in a wonderful
manner, and TnnmhliTi in undertones to
their customers.
Bat if the room was fascinating, what
shall I say of the.people who sat smok
ing at a score of tables, waiting for the
debate to begin? It was a company that
would have oWightpd Hogarth and
thrown Lavater into a frenzy. Such

"I am wedded to art." continued the
first speaker. "And I to literature,"
said the second. "And I to science,"
said the third. The combined ages of
these damsebi would have fallen several
years short of the aUocted three score and
frm, but if each speaker had seen seventy
summers she could not have spoken with
more decision
5Tiey were ail young, they were all
rich, they were all prettjv so that the
chances were against the above resolu
tion being fulfilled, even in this Nine
teenth century, when civilization has
run to seed and brides are scarcer than
they used to be, and the votaries of sci
ence and art and literature more numer
ous. Sophy and Grace were sisters, Enid
was their friend. Grace was the eldest,
Enid the youngest, of the three. The
sisters were both tall, fine girls, with
dark eyes and hair and thick, white
complexions, smooth and spotless a
marble. Grace was beautiful, Sophy
handsome; Grace was the paler, her
features more delicately cut, her eyes
softer. Sophy was the more vivacious,
her eyes brighter, her smile more ani
mated, her laugh merrier.
Enid was not the least like her friends;
she was small and very fair, with blue
eyes and a quantity of pale golden hair,
most of which was coiled into a crown
on the top of her head, and the re
mainder curled about her forehead. She
dressed in the aesthetic style, and was
one of the very few who can do so with
impunity
Max Leslie, brother to Sophy and
Grace, was hopelessly in love with her,
bur he was a lawyer, while Enid was the
bride of art, and what have law and art
m common with each other?
"Men are so prosaic," said Enid.
-And so stupid." said Sophy.
"And so wicked," said Grace.
"Well have none cf them." said the
trio.
"Girls, 1 have a plan, listen," said
Enid. "We three will go away to a
lonely iale I don't mean a desert island
but to AIderney,oroneof the Orkneys
or to the Lsle of Man"
"No, not to Man, we wiU have nothing
to do with Man; let us go to one of the
Cliannel isles, there are no men there, at
least, only a few officers about one to
twenty girls, interrupted Sophy.
"To the Channel isles be it then; we
wiU take a house for three months, and
we wfll make a solemn vow not a man
shall cross the threshold from the day
we enter till the day we leave," con
tinued ""
-Carried, mem, con.," cried the sis
ters, and a fortnight later saw them set
tled in a large house overlooking one of
the loveliest of the Jersey bays.
There had been obstacles to overcome
in the form of protesting fathers and
scandalized mothers, but the proposed
exclusion of the stranger sex pacified
the fathers, and the fact that Enid's old
nurse, a veritable dnenna, was to make
one of the party allayed att maternal
fears, and in the end the young people
got their own way, as young people
mostly do nowadays.
The first month passed away without
anything more eTriting than a thunder
storm occurring. The three aspirants to
celibacy led a very simple life. They
breakfasted at 9, dined at 1, had tea
when they felt inclined and supped at 8.
In the mornings the bride of art sketched
from nature or painted in her studio, the
bride of science shut herself up in the
library with a skeleton and studied medi
cine, while the bride of literature lay in
a hammock and evolved the plot of a
three volume novel which was to take
the world by storm.
On Sundays they drove into St. Ffelier
to church, where they attracted so much
attention that after the second Sunday
people began to caU upon them They
were prepared for this contingency, and
Bar!-1. Enid's nurse, met all visitors
with a very solemn face and the same
information, namely, "that the ladies
were at home, but they did not intend
to receive visitors during their stay in
the island-
This reply did its intended work; in a
little place like Jersey it soon reached
the ears of everybody who wan anybody,
and, as few- people cared to be snubbed
in tiiis style, the besiegers retired and
the besieged were left in peace.
No doubt they were delighted to have
gained this victory, though their
af triumph seemed to grow'
"We wont receive men, so we can't
receive women," was their first watch
word; at the aad of a fortnight this was
changed o:

"Let me see. dear, if you have. Enid
and I can put it in splints till we get

put some of her medical knowledge into
practice. The leg was examined, declared
broken and deftly set in temporary
punts, consisting of snraihailf b. while
fine cambric hindrsrchiefa were aeed
torajajjagas
Sophy then went back to the house to
i fetch servants and a sofa on which to
carry the sufferer home, and Enid re
mained to condole with. her.
"It ought to feel easier now it ia in
splints; does it, dear?" she inquired ten
derly. "No, it is very painful," said Grace,
with a little moan. "I hope you have
set it straight," she added.
"It isn't set: it is only in splints to
prevent a compound fracture; at present
Sophy says it is only a simple fracture;
but weshaU have to have a doctor, Grace.
Sophy isn't qualified yet, you know. 1
wonder if there is a lady doctor in the
island?" said Enid.
"If there is I won't have her; I am not
going to run the risk of being lame for
life: I don't believe in lady doctors." said
Grace decidedly.
"Nor do L dear; you are quite right,
and 1 only hope Sophy wfll agree with
you," said Enid.
At first Sophy was not at aU inclined
to do this. She suggested scouring the
island for a lady doctor, since a doctor
Grace would have: but her sister's pale
face and gentle moans soon decided her
to send far a certain Dr. May, to whom
they had an introduction in case of Al
ness. The letter of introduction was from
their brother, and if Sophy could have
read the contents it would certainly
never have reached its destination. As
it was sealed she could not do so, and it
had the effect of bringing Dr. May very
quickly to the patient.
"It is a simple fracture of the tibia,"
said Sophy, as she ushered Dr. May to
the patient's room.
If it was (and Dr. May did not contra
dict her diagnosis) his treatment was
peculiar. He first of all spent about
half an hour in bathing the swollen
white foot in cold water, then he band
aged it, then he ordered the bandages to
be changed whenever they got dry, and
then, promising to come the first thing
the next morning, he prepared to leave.
"Won't you set it today?" said Sophy.
"Ok dear, ho; itismach too swollen.
I shan't be able to set it for some days.
How long are you staying here?"
"Oh, we have another six weeks to
stay yet, saul aopny, despondently.
"WelLI wfll endeavor to cure your
sister by then; but I fear she won't be
able to walk for some weeks, though you
need not tell her so," said Dr. May.
No sooner was Dr. May gone than
Enid, who had not seen him, dashed into
Grace's room,, all curiosity.
"What is he like, girls?" she demanded
eagerly.
"He is young," said Sophy.
"That is bad," said Enid.
"And very handsome," said Grace.
"That is wane. I wonder if he is mar
ried?" said Enid.
"That can't matter to us." said Grace.
"Not in the very least," said Sophy.
"Of course not. dears; only I wonder
ed." said Enid.
Now it is a strange thing, but life be
came much more interesting to these
three young ladies after this accident;
and yet it ought to have cast a gloom
over them, for it must have been rather
a bad case, since Grace required Dr.
May's attendance twice a day for the
first week, and three times on the day be
set the tibia and put it into splints, Bat
before he did this he asked for a second
opinion. He was a physician the case
was surgical; he would not undertake
to set the broken bone unless a surgeon
were present. So a certain Mr. Ford, an
army surgeon, was called in, not with
out some scruples; but Dr. May repre
sented it was a necessity, and necessity
absolved them from keeping their vow.
"Men are a necessary evil," said Enid.
"They are certainly useful," said So
phy. "And undoubtedly nice," said Grace
but sotto voce. She dared not utter this
sentiment aloud
Mr. Ford was a little man, who looked
to be about 40; fair, and so full of fan
that he was a welcome addition to the
party. The first week he came twice;
after that, thnngh his visits were cer
tainly not of a professional nature, he
came every day, and, what was stran
ger, he sometimes forgot to' go to Grace's
room at all, though she was the ostensi
ble cause of his visits.
Grace bore her imprisonment with tine
patience of a aunt. True, her

a lovely view of the deep bine sea, won
the romantic little bay at the foot of the
heather clad slope on which the bouse

over here. to help me? Nasty.
things! And you are a stupid old thing,
IxadKl,nottohavethoBajchtof k; and I
hate yon, and I hate those girls, aad
horrid Dr. May, and nasty little Mr.
Ford. And oh, dear! what a dreadfuUy
bed temper I am in."
And here Enid threw herself on to
Rachel's lap aad sobbed bitterly.
But, though neaitanf. her red eyes
quite precsnied the idea of resuming her
uncongenial work; so in her absence Dr.
May and Mr. Ford carried Grace and
her sofa out on to the lawn, and there
the four spent their afternoon.
Enid did not join her frieade till the
gentlemen were gone.
"I am ao sorry you are not happy
here. Enid, darling," said Grace gently.
"I am quite happy," said Enid.
"I am afraid you are not wefl, dear
Enid, Would you like to speak to Mr.
May?" said Grace.
"Or to Mr. FordT said Sophy.
"Til never speak to either of them
again, if you don't mind. Sophy: I am
perfectly well"
"Oh!" said the sisters.
"I was only dreadfuUy cross, and now
I am dreadfuUy sorry, so please now
dont talk any more about it."
"We won't; we have something- to tell
you; have had a letter from Max, and
he wants to come over here for a few
days; he says he muss have our signa
tures to some documents, so we want to
know if you will consent to his coming;
it wfll be breaking- our rule that no man
is to cross the threshold, but, as be is
our brother, it won't matter to us."
"And, as a rule has been broken every
day for the last three weeks, it won't
matter to me," said Enid.
"So it has," said Grace; "I never
thought of that, burthen a physician is
a necessity."
"So is a surgeon." said Sophy.
"So is a lawyer sometiznes," said Enid.
And so the lawyer came and there was
no more temper.
The evening he arrived Dr. May and
Mr- Ford stayed to capper.
"May, how long do yon intend to keep
this game up?" said the lawyer as they
smoked a pipe after the girls were gone
to bed.
"What gameT asked Mr. Ford.
"The simple fracture of the tibia, I be
lieve it & called," said the lawyer, going
into peals of laughter, in which both his
companions joined.
"Poor old May, shell never forgive
you, my dear boy," said Mr- Ford, as
soon as he could speak.
"And Sophy wfll never forgive you.
Ford," said May.
The doctors looked verv cast down at
that
"Need they ever know the truth?"
asked Dr. May.
"Not unless you like to teU them; at
the same time, if you could manage to
take those splints off Grace's leg to
morrow, we might have aome pfrtjifH
while I am here; I can only stay a week.
If you two can undertake to manage
that 111 undertake not to reveal the
truth with regard to Grace's sprained
ankle I beg-Sophy's pardon fractured
tiba."
On this basis some excursions were in
augurated for the next few days, the
splints were removed, and the patient,
with Dr. May's assistance, managed to
get in and out of carriages, and wander
over sandy beaches and heather clad
cliffs with wonderful grace and ease.
The week made itself wixrgs. it flew
so quickly. But art was neglected, sci
ence snubbed and literature forgotten,
while the faith lew brides caugiit shrimps
and sand eels, scrambled over rocks and
frrw-'n! in caves, drove through shady
lanes and rested on moss clad cliffs, and
were as happy as mortals could be.
At last the day of reckoning came.
"Sophy," said Grace one night, "truth
is stranger than fiction."
"Yes, dear, I know that."
"So I have given up fiction, I mean
literature."
"They are notalways synonymous, but
have you really done so?"
"I have. and. what is more- fft

During the last years of Eater's life he was

Huener or Virgil, two authors for whom he

So-Walter Scott's attainments in that di

to read it over hinrlf, which he did slowly
and distinctly, after which he handed me the
ssaeaampt, saying. Take cars of your copy
right; I have your poem by heart. "
Thia waa certainly a. feat out of the ordin
