Floors castle, home of the Duke of
Roxburghe, was the scene of a curious
psychical mystery over a century ago.
Sir Walter Scott relates the incident.
John, third Duke of Roxburghe, who
died in 1804, the celebrated book col
lector. when arranging his library em
ployed neither a secret '. i-y nor a libra
rian, but a footman called Archie, who
knew every book as a shepherd does
each sheep of his flock. There was- a
bell hung in the duke's room at Floors
which was used on no occasion except
to call Archie to his study. The duke
died in St. James' square at a time
when Archie was himself sinking un
der a mortal compiuint. On the day
of the funeral the library bell sudden
ly rang violently. The dying Archie
sat up in bed and faltered, "Yes, my
lord duke, yes, I will wait on your
grace instantly." And with these
words on bis lips he fell back in bed
and died.—St James' Gazette.

Inscrutable!
Face
How He Made His Dream
Come True
By CLARISSA MACKIE
Dale Malcolm, spinning down the
Boston post road in his little runabout,
saw the gayly painted wagons of the
gypsy camp and slowed to a stand
still.
Immediately a horde of ragged chil
dren surrounded the car and begged
with whining insistency.
Malcolm tossod a handful of coppers
into the road, and while the children
scrambled for them he started the car.
He halted the car again and bought
a bracelet juugilug with silver coins
from a frowsy woman. It set him
dreaming wistfully of the far countries
from which this woman's ancestors
had come.
He awoke from his day dream sud
denly. A brown, wrinkled hand was
thrust under his nose, and an aged
crone whined to tell his fortune.
Laughingly he crossed her palm with
a silver half dollar. "1 expect a good
fortune for that." he said.
The crone nodded.
"What is seat you will get." she
cackled—"no more, no less."
She grasped Malcolm's left hand and
studied the lines closely.
"A life pent up in the towns." she
muttered—"money, money, money get
ting while the world calls! Fool! Gray
towers where devils run to and fro
and the roar of sound is like the roar
of the ocean, while the green world
calls!"
Malcolm smiled as he recognized a
quite accurate description ol' the great
skyscraper where he worked every day.
Suddenly her voice changed to one
of eagerness.
"All. the handsome gentleman will
love! I see the moonlight falling on

sir!'' She steppe* back as Malcolm
skirted the car. and in a moment the
fump and its pictui'csque followers bad
vanished.
Dale Malcolm smiled to himself as
he remembered the gypsy's prophecy
concerning the mysterious face in
whose shadow he was to meet his
love.
"No chance of meeting my fate this
year," sighed Malcalin as he ate his
solitary dinner at the club where he
made his home. "It's stay in little
New York oue more year. Dale, my
lad, and then, when the Trainor deal
is successfully concluded and the Bin
ner estate is settled. I'll sell out my
share to Wakely and set out on my
travels. Meantime the moon will wax
and wane on the inscrutable lace of
the silent one many times before 1 ar
rive."
So spoke Dale Malcolm, but the
fates had willed it otherwise. lie had
yet to learn that the daughter of the
Egyptians bad mystic knowledge of
events to come.
A week later he pulled down the top
of his desk and went to the street,
where his little car waited at the curb
stone. He had promised himself a
run into the country, but when he
came to Central park he recollected
that there was a new picture in the
gallery of the Metropolitan museum
that he desired to see. and so present
ly be found himself standing before
the priceless picture which bad been
lent by a millionaire. From one
painting to another Malcolm wander
ed. and from the picture gallery he
went from one collection to another
until he reached the Egyptian room.
It. was growing late and near closing
time when Dale Malcolm suddenly dis
covered that he was standing before a
framed photograph of the sphinx,

chnckled to himself just as he

Dale turned hastily to find almost
nt his feet a girl who had slipped on
the polished floor. When he bent to
assist lier to rise he noted that in spite
of hor pallor she was very lovely aid
that the color of Iter black lashed eyes
just matched the brown velvet of "her
costume.
"I an afraid 1 cannot stand," she
faltered. leaning agaiust him. "I be
lieve I've sprained my ankle. If you
will assist me to a seat"—
Dale almost carried his lovely bur4cu
to one of the settees.
She leaned her head against the back
of the seat. and. taking a small gold
vinaigrette from her baud bag. she
held it to her dainty nose. When her
hand languidly dropped Dale quietly
took the golden toy from her hand and
applied it.
Presently she opened her eyes and
smiled deprecatingly at him.
"Thank you very much." she said.
"If you will summon a taxicab and
assist lue to the entrance I shall be
very grateful. 1 am sorry to trouble
you. but"—
"My own car is at the door," sug
gested Malcolm. "If you will let me
drive you home it will save delay."
"Thank you. You are very kind. I
live just around the corner in Kighty
fourth street. Ah!" She winced with
pain as she endeavored to walk.
After that she took Malcolm's prof
fered arm, and just as they turned
away the young man looked backward.
Through the window he saw the new
moon, and his glance also took in the
picture of the sphinx and the girl be
side him.
His heart leaped suddenly so that he
started violently.
"What has happened?" asked the
girl quickly.
"Nothing that matters now," he said
as ho assisted her in her slow progress
through the roomrf.
In spite of his calm demeanor Dale
Malcolm's everyday self assurance
was staggered by the recollection of
the gypsy's prophecy and the coinci
dence of meeting this beautiful stran
ger actually in the shadow of the pic
tured face of the silent oue, the sphinx.
In ten minutes Dale was assisting
Vera Lane up the front steps of the
handsome bouse where she lived and
giving ber into the care of a very so
licitous butler.
After that things fell very flat for
Dale. He dined at his club after a
run out to the gypsy camp, only to find
that it had vanished from the grove
of chestnut trees. He went to a thea
ter in the eveniug, but the play had no
meaning for him. Always he saw the
lovely face of Vera Lane, and con
stantly he beard the prophetic voice of
the gypsy fortune teller:
"1 see tbe moonlight falling on the
wise countenance of the silent one.
In the shadow of the mysterious face
she will come, i'ou will go to strange
lands together and be happy. Remem
ber the mysterious face."
Over and over again the words sang
themselves through his brain until
when he went to bed he fell asleep to
dream of standing in the shadow of
the sphinx on the Gizeh plain and be
side him was Vera Lane. Now she
was his bride, and they were on their
li"ueymoon. visiting strange lands
even as the g.vps.v had foretold.
Dale awoke suddenly and sat up in
bed.
"I'll make that dream come true!" he
said grimly, and so. turning over, he
sank into a dreamless sleep.
The next (lay he called 10 inquire
concerning Miss Lane's injury, and.
receiving word that she was much bet
ter. he was obliged to content himself
with that. There was nothing more
he could do now save to find some mu
tual acquaintance who would effect
the- introduction that would, he now
believed, open the gates of paradise to
liiiu.
lie dreamed of Vesra Lane by day
and night, and his business friends
clapped-him on the shoulder and told
liini to take a rest. He certainly need
ed it. Well, if he wouldu't take sound
advice it meant a sanitarium and the
rest cure lor him!
To all of which Dale listened re
spectfully and then went on dream
ing.
His women friends confessed them
selves bored to extinction when Dale
made what he considered cleverly non
committal inquiries concerning Vera
I.ane. At last he dropped in at a tea,
for which functions he had a deadly
hatred, and the first person lie saw
was Vera Lane talking to her hostess.
Tiie girl moved away as he approached.
.Mrs. Fletcher smiled wickedly at
him.
"I simply asked you so that you
could meet Miss Lane," she whispered.
"I've heard all about it from Agatha.
She says you've bothered her to death
for an introduction to a girl she hard
ly knows. But now. young man, 1
hope you're satisfied."
"Because of your goodness I'll tell
you the reason why." said Dale grate
fully. and he related his incident with
the gypsy fortune teller.
Mrs. Fletcher was delighted with the
tinge of romance in Dale's story, so
presently she led him to tbe corner
where Vera Lane was drinking tea and
chatting with a group of women, and
a tittle later Dale was listening to her
sweet voice as she thanked him for
his assistance on that October evening
when she had sprained her ankle.
It is a fact that when spring came
Dale Malcolm turned over the execu
tive department of the business to hts
partner and set forth on a journey
around the world. He did not go
alone. He had made his dream come
true, and finally be stood on the
of Gizeh. looking up at the silent
and beside him was his bride. Vera,
whom he had met in the shadow of
ble face, even as the gypsy
