N Sir Humphrey u persistent if notTucky. He' made three trips to North America and obtained several land grants. But these did him little good when he and all hie men were lost off the coast of Newfoundland in the new prosperity : and an unknown- lib erty amidst " the Indians, the mo squitoes and. the scouragee of a dis tant and lonely coast. The story of those early settlements, is the true eory of our; country. The United States, like tnost great nations, Just "happened.' ' No one ever set out to found an American Republic, . The good burgh-" era oI the "seventeenth century who made the perilous voyage never dreamed of a day when their great grandchildren were to be recognised as : the equals of the favored sons of the mother country. TheJise of the Amer ican republic was not only a story of pluck but also of sheer luck. "If" only Lord North had not been so terribly addicted to sleep and "if only pCing George III had not insisted upon re taining a minister who belonged! in a dormitory and not in a cabinet room, a great many other things would never have happened. But historical "ifs" are dangerous things. Almost as dan gerous as the "Ifs" of a gold-mining-prospectus. - And as an honest chron icler of past events, we must content ourselves with a short description of those things which actually happened. Among -the early adventurers who wished to establish a settlement upon the coast of North America there was n certain Sir Humphrey Gilbert. ' He -was a half brother of that famous Kir year 154. Land grants, like valuable patents or trunk full of Liberty bonds, are rarely doomed to lie around in forgotten attics for very long.? In variably a kind person cornea Alone and takes pity upon them. f The Raleigh stock of royal favor was a fluctuating one. It -was never easy to predict more than a few days In advance whether the noble knig$ going; to be given a high order Or would be on his way to jail. Eventu ally, as is well known, he was deeapr itated by order of his gracious sov ereign. But this sentence of death was pronounced by James Stuart, who was the son, of Maay Stuart and who therefore had a certain home-made familiarity with scaffolds. And his predecessor, the great Queen Elizabeth, was possessed of too much common sense to interfere with this energetic, if somewhat erratic servant. She giadly gave . Raleigh the desired permission to establish a colony on the "plentiful, sweet and fruitful coast" Of Northern America. In the year 156 Sir Walter loaded seven ships with men, women and supplies and sent them across the ocean to found the first colony of Englishmen, to a part of the world which the Spaniards since more than a hundred years had re garded as their own private preserves.

She. had no twinges jfor any undermin ings of her "most intimate frlend"--tn fact, she felt that her work on a new portrait of Mildred for Mr. Russell had been honest and accurate But why had it been her instinct to show him an Alice Adams who didn't exist? Almost everything she had said to him was upon spontaneous impulse, springing to her lips on the instant ; yet it all seemed to have been founded upon a careful design, as Is some hid den self kept such, designs in stock and handed them up ta her, ready-made, to be used for its own purpose.

And Uien she thought, "But, which one la, myself?" , Her eS'es dwelt on the solemn eyes in the mirror : and her lips, disquieted by & deepening wonder, parted to whisper : ,- "Who in the world are you?" The apparition before her had obeyed her like an alert slave- but now, as she subsided to a complete stillness, that aspect changed to tne old niockery ' with which mirrors avenge their wrongs. The nucleus of some oueer thing seemed to gather and shape itself behind the nothingness of the reflected eyes until it became almost an actual strange presence. It it could be identified, perhaps the pres ence was that of the hidden designer who handed up the false, ready-made pictures. , and, for unknown purposes. made Alice exhibit, them but what ever It waa, she , suddenly found it monkey-like and terrifying. In a flut ter she Jumped up and went to an other part of the room. . A moment or two later she was whistling softly as she hung her light coat over a wooden triangle in her closet, and her musing now was quainter than the experience that led to it; for what she thought was this, 'I certainly am a -queer girl!" She took a little pride In, so much orig inality, believing herself probably the only person in the world to have, such thoughts as had been hers since she entered the room, and the first: to be disturbed by a strange presence in the mirror. In fac, the effect of the tiny episode became apparent in that look of preoccupied- complacency to be seen for a time upon any girl 'who has found reason to suspect that she is a being without Counterpart. The slight glow, still faintly radiant, was observed across the dinner table by Walter, but he misinterpreted it.
