The other was & gorgeously dressed nobleman, known from one end of Europe to t | other as the “infamous” Duke of Buckingham, wickedest and most brill fant man of his day. The “boy” who held the Duke's horse was no bey at all, but the notorious Countess of Shrewsbury. She had eloped with fe Buckingham, disguising herself as a page. f Her husband had pursued the fleeing couple and had caught up with them. He and the Duke had dismounted from their horses and had drawn | their swords to adjust the quarrel after the stern custom of their times. | The Countess showed no fear at prospect of a fatal outcome to the \@bt. She hated her husband and she knew Buckingham’s skill at fenc- jing. So, holding the Duke's horse, she awaited the result of the duel with keen enjoyment. t the Post-Office at New York 4 Pitered Pubecription Rates to The Eveningp ror & fq World for the United states Alle and Canada. 98.80] One Year 99.78 | 01 One Morth. 85 VOLUME sz.

These great, mysterious cords that ran over unseen mountains end valleys thousands of fathoms under the sea, binding nation to mation, are tittle thought of until something happens to them. Yet few things in modern life would be more missed were they all to fail at once. There are estimated to be at present over 250,000 miles of them, representing a cost of more than &300,000,000, A mile of cable such as is used in the Atlantic costs $1,500 and weighs about Nor had ehe been mistaken in forecasting that result.
