O OlOUR jLj Last Name IS IT BASSETT? TN ENGLAND the P.ussetts are a well known Cornish family; that Is to say they have been from time out of mind associated with affairs In Corn wall and have Intermarried for cen turies with families of that county until one could hardly imagine Corn wall without the Bassetts. But we must look beyond Cornwall to find the origin of the Bassetts. In fact they came from Normandy, as can be well enough proved by the fact that the name of Thurston Basset, a companion of William the Conqueror, Is found on the roll of Battle Abbey. Since the days of the Plantagenets the Bassetts have been seated at Tehidy, the seat of the present repre sentative of the family in England. In a list of the prominent Cornish fam ilies with whom tlie Bassetts have in termarried you find such names as Trenouth, Trengove, Trelawny, Marrys, Enys, Carveth, GcMolphln, Prideaux, Grenville and Rashlelgh. Some of these once prominent families have since become extinct, hut their blood runs In the veins of the Bassetts. The two most distinguished mem bers of the family In England are said to be Sir Francis Bassett, vice admiral and sheriff of Cornwall In the time of Charles 1 ; and another Sir Francis Bassett, first baron of Dunstanvllle In the time of King George HI, noted chiefly for his opposition to the Ameri can colonists Just before the breaking out of our Revolution. He held out persistently against peace with the American colonies. The first of the iwnie In this country was William Bassett, who galled from England on the "Fortune" In MB, Hi? lived first at Duxbury, but settled eventually at Bridgewater. He was associated with the chief dignitaries of the colony. His son William Bas elt, second, was a close friend of Gov ernors Wlnslow and Hinckley and ap pointed them Joint guardians of his children Just before his early death. A prominent member of the Bassett family here was Ric hard Basaett. gov ernor of Delaware, about the time of the Revolution. ( by McCIr Newepaper 3 nJlcata.) The. Tower Mystery (i"TF ONE spot more than any other should be haunted, that place is assuredly the Tower of London," says Charles Q. Harper in his new book, "Haunted Houses." published this spring by J. B. Lippinentt company. "The very remarkable story told In J SCO by Edward Lonthal Swifte, some time keeper of the crown jewels, has elements of the fantastic and the hor rible which leave the ordinary ghost story far behind. " 'I have often purposed,' he says, 'to leave behind me a faithful record of all I personally know of this strange story. " 'One Saturday night In October, 1817, about "the witching hour," I wus at supper with my wife, her sister, and our little boy In the sitting room In the Jewel house. The doors were all closed, heavy and dark cloth cur tains were let down over the win dows, and the only light In the room was that of two candles on tho table. I sat at the foot of the table, my son on my right hand, his mother fronting the ehlmneyplece, and her sister on the opposite side. I had offered a glass of wine and water to my wife, when, on putting It to her Hps, she paused, and exclaimed, "Good G d ! what is that?" I looked up and saw a cylindrical figure, like a plnss tube, seemingly about the thickness of my arm, nnd hovering between the celling nnd the table; Its contents ap peared to be a dense fluid, white and pale azure, like the gathering of a summer cloud, and Incessantly min gling within the cylinder. This lasted about two minutes, when It began slowly to move before my slster-In-law; then, following the oblong shape of the table, before my son and my self; passing behind my wife, It paused for a moment over her right shoulder (observe, there was no mir ror opposite to her in which she could there behold It). Instantly she crouched down, nnd with both hands covering her shoulder, she shrieked out, "O Christ! It hus seized me!" Even now, while writing, I feel the fresh horror of that moment. I caught up my chair, struck at the wainscot behind her, rushed upstairs to the children's room, and told the terrified nurse what I had seen'. Mean while, the other domestics hnd hur ried into the parlor, where their mis tress recounted to them the scene, even us I was detailing It above stairs.'"
