Masking the Gun*.
Against air craft observation one of
the first precautions taken is to splash
suns, limbers and ammunition wagons
with different neutral tints so that they
will blend with the ground about
them. Any earthworks, pits, etc., that
are erected or dug are strewn with
leaves and branches and the earth dis
turbed generally, so that from above
nothing unusual shall be spotted by
keen eyed air men.
A battery of guns Is seldom placed
along the sky line, for there it Is an
easy mark. Generally the guns are
concealed some distance down the In
cline In front of the sky line, unless
the guns are how!tiers, in which cue
they can be best served from behind
the ridge. The idea of placing the
guns In front of the ridge is that the
rising gronnd behind them serves as
an effectual screen, as the guns them
selves are painted to represent earth
and foliage.—London Standard.

A ROMANCE OF
THE OLDEN TIME
Strange Adventures of a
Knight of the Road.
My boy, I have sent for you to make
a very Important announcement. Since
the Karl of Bnllincorne Is dead, child
less, you are the rightful heir to that
earldom. No, don't smile incredulous
ly, thinking your old grandmother to
be wandering or in her second child
hood, but UsteD to what I am about to
tell you.
I wish I could make you understand
the difference in this early part of the
nineteenth century, when Mr. Stephen
son ha9 succeeded In drawing coaches
by steam, and the middle of the eight
eenth, when coaching was in Its prime
and we who rode had the excitement
of an occasional robbery. The high
wayman was not the brute who now
murders first and robs afterward, but
was often chivalrous, especially to wo
men. When I was a girl of twenty 1
traveled from London to York with my
father, and on the road we met one of
those gentlemen. We were pnsslng a
lonely part of the road in the dusk of
the evening when we heard an order tc
the coachman to stop. A masked man
rode up to the coach window, holding a
pistol In our faces and demanding our
valuables. His voice was soft and mu
sical. his hand was white and shapely,
and I noticed the lace that fell over It
was of the finest texture.
My father had but little money with
him, but did have a valuable snuffbox
that bad been presented him by the
king himself. lie told the highwayman
that If he would send it to our house In
Yoru his messenger should receive five
times its value and no questions asked
The robber scarcely seemed to hear
him, so iutent was be upon me.
"Good sir," said the robber, "I would
not take your snuffbox but for the
opportunity It gives iue to take It to
your house myse'f. and If I decline the
price you put upon it please set tnt>
fact down to the Influence of the
young lady beside you. wnose beauty
ind Innocence prevent my retaining
any article of yours. I have the hon
jr, sir, to bid you good evening."
Raising his hut with all the grace of
a courtier be turned away, directing
the coachman to drive on.
That winter was a gay one In our
set in town, and'after attending nu
merous entertainments at the homes
of our frieii '.s we concluded to return
the civilities by giving a masked ball.
Our house was lighted with a thou
sand candles, and the costumes of the
guests were of the richest and wildest
rariety. One of the gentlemen person
itcd a highwayman, wearing a brace
of pistols In his belt, with an ugly
looking knife to match. lie came up
to me and asked me to dunce. The
moment he spoke I recognized the man
who had robbed us on the road from
London.
I permitted him to lead me in the
minuet. He danced so gracefully, his
figure was so symmetrical, be was bo
courtly In his manner that every one
noticed him. When the dance was
finished he le:l me iiway to a window
where we stood partly screened be
hind the curtulns. Then he handed me
my father's snuffbox.
"How did you dare come here?" I
asked.
"I would have dared anything to see
you again." be replied.
"Qo at once." I said. "You will be
caught. Every one has noticed you."
"I would willingly hang for the
pleasure I have gained In one dunce
with you."
Despite the dancer he ran we talked
together bo continuously that we be
gan to excite attention. A strange
happiness thrllleil me. This fascinat
ing highwayman had caught the fancy
of a young girl naturally full of ro
mance and to know that In- was risk
ing his life to be with nie was su
premely delightful. I feared for him.
but could not bear to let him go. Final
ly I saw my father coming toward us
with flashing eyes. I knew by the
way he looked at my companion that
he had got some clew to his identity
V,'e vanished In the crowd, slipped
through a door Into the garden, and
my highwayman passed off the place
in safety.
Later, when my father found me, I
gave him the sntifTbox. He sent out to
notify the police that the highwayman
was In town, but he v. as never caught
One spring morning I wns sitting In
the garden In the rear of the house
when above the wall I saw the head of
a man I was about to scream when he
spoke. I recognized the voice of my
highwayman lover. He persuaded me
.'o make an appointment with him In a
wood near the city, and there we met
on several occasion*. He confessed
that he was the second son of a noble
man who hitd taken t<. the road from a
true love of adventure. lie finally per
suaded me at one of our meetings to go
with him to u magistrate and be mar
ried. I never returned to mv home, but
sailed to France with your grandfather
Don't start, don't bend your head for
shame, at learning that you have de
scended from—1 will not say a high
wayman—a nobleuian whose love for
adventure blighted his life and made
him an exile. M.v husband was beloved
by all who kne-v hiai and worshiped by
his wife :»nd chlldien. Even In those
youthful escapades lie never benefited
by a shilling dishonestly, and many a
person u liom he stop[>ed on the high
way and found In need he helped.
The Earl of Balllncome, his brother,
dying, the title and estates descended
to his eldest son, who died childless
yesterday. His death leaves you the
next In line. Here are the papers con
firming you In } o:ir claim.
