When the mass of clothing was smoul

supply of coal on top of it. The less ot

one of the stine shape and color.
He was quietly smoking a cigar nnd
practicing Philip's voce between puffs,
when Mason returned with the valet.
The scene, carefully rehearsud by
Grenler in till' its' dethllsV passed oft with
gratifying success. Purring with satis
faction, the chief scoundrel of .he pair
left In the Grange House by th aston
ished servant, "began to overhaul the
contents of Philip's bag.

Mason coarsely cursed both the homo

pleasantly-
"The very thing." ' he cried. "Iy-ok

They went down the hilt and entered
th rough county road that wound up
frem ficarsdale to the cliff. Through the
fajnt light of a summer's nlKht they
saw a man approaching
It was a pbllce'jjiah.
"Abslt omen," said Orenler, softly.
"Whafa that?"
"'Latjn for a cop. Tou complained of
my want of nerve. Watch me now."
He halted tjie policeman and questioned
him about th locality, the direction ot
tin roads, the .villages on the coast. He
explained pleasantly that ho waa a Lon
doner and an utter stranger In these
parts.
'You are. stayln at the Grange House,
sir?" said the man? in his turn.
"Yes. pome here today, in fact."
"I paw yw, slr.t Is the gentleman who
drove Vovl from Bcarsdalo staying there,
tco? I met ydii on -the road, and lie
seemed to know me.''
Grenler silently anathematized his care
lessness. 'Policemen in rural Yorkshire
were not as common as policemen In Ox
ford street. It was the same man whom
he had encountered hours ago.
"Oh. he la a doctor. .Yes, he resiles in
the Grange House."
"You won't find much room for a
party there, sir," persisted the constable.
"I don't remember the gentleman at all.
What is his name?"
"Dr Williams. He Is a genial sort of

Sorry I can't ask you to go up and have

The policeman passed on.

gloomy outlines of the farm. "How many

The First Gun For Greek Freedom
si
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.
Ninety-three years ago, March 6, 1K1,
Prlnco Alexander, with a mere handful
of devoted followers, crossed the Pruth
and the battle for Greek freedom had
begun. Only a little
while before, Lord
Byron had sung the
melancholy refrain,
" 'Tls Greek, but llv
Ing O r e o c e now
more"; but now tho
descendants of tho
creators of civiliza
tion wern alive again
and were struggling
to ffee themselves
from the rule Ot tho
"Unspeakable Turk."
It Is not pleasant
to remember the re-
rponse that the Greek revolution evoked
from the governments of .Europe. It was
little less than a growl At best It af
forded the patriotic Greeks no comfort,
"Were not the Gresk revolutionists the
precursors of democracy, and could the
champions of monarchical rule afford to
encourage them In their upsetting re
volt?" Thus felt the governments. But
let It be Joyfully remembered that In
free England the patriots found much
enrquragement, and that In our own
country many of our greatest men spoke
out clearly and bravely for Greek In
dependence. In fact, nil over the world there went
up a atrong shout for the Greeks, and
this powerful sentiment sufficed, at least,
to keep the governments In a position of
neutrality, so far as armed intervention
was concerned. In the meantime the en
thusiasm (trouted by Lord Byron and oth
ers brought the revolutionists volunteers
from England, Germany, France and the
Vnlted States, and tha good fight went
on, Th odds against the Greeks wer
fearful, but, they fought on with splendid
courage and unfailing hope.
In June, 1S2T, the Turks took Athens,
and tha cause of freedom seemed to be
doomed; but at that Juncture an accident
put an entirely now face upon the situa
tion. The fleets of England, France and
Russia, cruising about the coast ot Pell
nonnmns to orevent th Turkish vil
' from ravaging the islands, put Into the
Bay of Navarlno, where the Turkish
fleet lay. Regarding the. approach ot the
allied fleet aa prompted by hostile feel
ing1, the Turks commenced firing on them.
A general engagement followed, la which
tho Turkish fleet was annihilated.
The result of tne destruction of tha
Turkish navy was the independence of
Grecce-though It wan but a partial in
dependence. From IKS to 1833 ihe re was
to be alt sorts of trouble, but In the lat
ter pear Greece was to become a free
and Independent nation. Very recent
events show that Greece is thoroughly
alive, and delightful tp gods and men la
the prospoct of the fine future which
awaits It.
