C., he lay, and Fletcher with a smoking pistol in his hand. After that all _was _confusion. Fletcher was seized by those who had witnessed the deed; there was none thought it an accident; indeed, they were all ready enough to say that Fletcher had recelved excessive provocation. He was haled to the presence of the duke 3ith whom were Grey and Wilding at the time: and old "Dare's son—an ensign in Goodenough's company—came clam- oring for vengeance backed by such goodly numbers that the distraught duke was forced to show at least the outward seeming of it. Wilding, who knew the value of this Scottish soldier of fortune who had seen so much seryice, strenuous- Iy urged his enlargement.’ It was not a time to let the fortunes of a cause suffer through such an act as this, depiorable though it might be. The evidence showed that Fletcher had been provoked; he had been struck, a thing that might well justify the r in the heat of which he had this thing. Grey was stolid and | sitent, saying nothing efther for or against the man who had divided with him under the duke the honors of the supreme command. M white and horror- sat and listened first to Wilding, then to Dare, and lastly to Fletcher himself. But it was young Dare—Dare _and his followers, who prevailed. They were too numerous and turbulent, and they must at all ilated, or there was no t extremes they might sha f Andrew Fletcher of Sultoun in this undertaking—the end he sent word accordingly to the Scot. Even in_ this there were manifesta- tions of antagonism between Mr. Wilding and Lord Grey, and it almost seemed enough that Wilding should suggest a course for Lord Grey in- stantly to oppose it The effects of Fletcher's removal were not long in following. On the morrow came the Birdport affair, and Grey's shameful conduct when, had he “stood his ground, victory must have been assured the duke's farces instead of just that honorable re- treat by which Col. Wade so_gal- lantly saved the situation. Mr. Wild- ing did not mince his words in put- ting it that Grey had run away. In his room at the George Inn, Monmouth, deeply distressed, asked Wilding and Col. Matthews what ac- tion he should take in the matter— how deal with Grey “There is no other ger rope would ask avely, and M Wilding added without an’ insta hesitation that his grace’ plain. “It would be an unwise thing to expose the troops to the chance of more such happenings.” Monmouth dismi them and sent for Grey, and he s By deal with him as he an hour later, n Wilding, Mat- thews, Wade, and the others w. dered to attend the duke in_counc there was his lordship seemingly as gaod terms as ever with his grace. They were assembled to discuss the next step which it might be ad- visable to take, for the militia was closing in around them, and to re- main longer in Lyme would be to be caught thero as in.a trap. It was Grey who advanced the first sugges- tion, his assurance no wit abated by the shameful thing that had befallen by the cowardice which he had be- trayed. “That we must quit Lyme we are all agreed,” said he. “I would propose that your grace march north to Clou- cester, where our Cheshire friends semble to meet us.

The United States Supreme Court yesterday decided against the Knights of Pythiae in a suit brought to test the right of the order to increase life insurance premiums in Nebraska. The court confirmed - a Nebraska court decision in the case of George ©O. Meyer and Lena Eiser. The final tribunal refused to go behind the findings of the courts in Nebraska in interpreting the laws of that state, and held that the decision of those courts setting aside the premium in- creases must be final as to the effect given Nebraska statutes.
