In England to-day is Guy Fawkes’ Day, the anniversary of the deliverance of the nation on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 1605, from one of the most appalling political plots ever conceived. ., The famous Gunpowder Plot grew out of the extreme and un- looked-for severity of James I. toward his Catholic subjects, who had every reason to expect from him better treatment. ‘T'he originator and prime mover of the scheme was not Guy Fawkes, but Robert Catesby, a man of ancient family and of almost fanatic zeal. Mis project was to wipe out the whole Government, King, Lords and ‘ ins hel salle wat dal “oe TERNAL love" in most cases appears to be merely the interval be tween the firet kiss and the frat millinery dT), The cleverest woman te not the one who manages to marry a man whom she admires but the one who can manage to go right on admiring the man ehe has married, — To a man love ts merely a necessary adjunct to women; to @ worn, man te merely a necessary adjunct to love, A woman is like a beautiful painting, Her lover te an amateur, who S068 only hor beauty; her friend 4s a connoisseur, who sees doth her foulte and her fine points; her husband is an analyst, who gete too close and com centrates on her flaws.

Strictest oaths of secrecy were sworn. One of the band, Thomas Percy, who had influence at Court, hired a house adjoining the Houses of Parliament. With infinite precautions a few of the con- spirators stocked this dwelling with provisions and moved in. No one was ever seen to go in or out. For months they toiled at their tre- mendous task of piercing the enormously thick foundation walls of the House of Commons. One night, as they worked in stealihy silence, they heard or fancied they heard the tolling of a bell deep in the earth under their feet. Terror overcame them until holy water sprinkled’on the spot seemed to silence the sound. Then came a rumbling directly over their heads. All made ready to fly. Fawkes, however, cautiously investigated and found that the noise came from a cellar directly underneath the House of Lords occupied by a dealer in coal who was removing his stock. With carefully disguised eagerness the conspirators made hasto to hire the cellar from the coal dealer and abandoned the mine. One by one thirty-six barrels of gunpowder, about a ton and twelve hundredweight, were secretly stowed away in the vault. Stones and heavy pieces of iron were scattered about to make the explosion more destructive and the whole piled high with innocent looking firewood and faggots. ; All this was slowly and painfully accomplished during the early months of the year 1605, The time for the great event was finally i set for Nov. 5, when the King was to open Parliament in full atate ; and all the highest diagnitaries of the realm would be gathered within the walls of the doomed building. Meanwhile one of the chief conspirators had arranged to invite | i a company of influential people to assemble at his house in Warwick- | 4 shire on Nov. 5, as if for a hunting party.
