LIEUTENANT Colonel Henry Vardo
Buller, I>. 8. O.. wlio has Just
been appointed British military
attache at Washington, la the
fourth son of the llrst Baron Churston,
and an uncle, therefore, of the present
(third; Baron Churston. The new at?
tache was born on November -,
186'.'. and married In 1302. Adelaide,
daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel Meek
in*, of Klebings Park, Colnbrook, In
the county of Buckingham.
lie has ."-^c-n a good deal of service
In the Soudan and In South Africa;
and in addition to his Distinguished
Service Order, ho la a member of the
Victorian Order, Commander of tho
Dsnneburg Order, Commandor of the
Order of ?t. Olaf, etc., these foreign
Orders being conferred upon him In
connection with his service a:i military
attache nt the various European
courts. His nephew, Lord Churston, Is
at th? head of the lino old Devonshire
family of Bullor, the llrst peer of tho
lino having been Sir Henry's father,
who was described by Lord Itracons
Held as "Sir Uobert Peel's choice und
pattern country gentleman."
I/ord Churston owns nbout IL',000
?eres of land in Devonshire and Corn?
wall. The first Haron Churston had a
brother, of the nama of Walter Yarde
Buller, who married in 188? E-diah.
dausliter of General R. W. Ktrkham,
j of California, and widow of l>. u. Blair,
of San Francisco. Mrs. Walter Yurde
Ituller some years :iko began suits of
tho most sensational character against
I her husband in tho English courts,
her charges being denounced by him
as the phantasies of a lunatic. These
assertions received a certain amount
of confirmation by the fact that when
she ratumed to the United States, at?
tempts were made by her relatives In
California to place her under restraint.
: Culling herself "Lady" Yarde-Buller, a
title to which, of courts, she had no
right. she furnished an Immense
amount of material for stories of a
more or less dramatic character.
I notice by the standard ."peerages"
that her death Is stated to have taken
place in 1901. How rar this statement
Of h'-r demise has been verified Is r.ot
generally known. For some years
thera was considerable uncertainty as
to her whereabouts.
When Colonel Henry Yarde-Buller
reaches Washington, those who have
occasion to meet hlin should bear In
mind that i.e had nothing what -vor
to do with the marital troubles of Mis.
Walter Varde-Buller, or with those In?
to which the name of the famous Mr.-.
Atherton was brought. The fact of his
retaining his commission In the army,
and of his being appointed t > ,v dip?
lomatic post, especially such an Im?
portant one as that at Washington, Is
proof enough that his record is entirely
free from any affair of tho kind, and
from any reproach whatever.

?iigland; much older. Indeed, than Its
baronetcy. A Sir Anthony Cope was
Vice-Chancellor to Queen Cathorlno
Parr, the sixth (and surviving him)
consort of llvmry VIII., tho Bluebeard
monarch.
Brnmshlll. the country scat of the
family. Ik one of tho llucst places In
the south of England, and among other
Interesting relics shown to visitors Is
the old oak chest In which, uccordlng
to tho legend, th.i "Mlstletoo Dough"
bride concealed herself when playing
hide-and-seek on the evening of her
wedding.
In a ssp'.rlt of fun, and to tease tho
bridegroom, she ran through the great
mansion to find a good place to hide.
In u, seldom visited lumber room she
spied the oak chest and chose It us
an excellent means of temporary
concealment. Full of this Idea, she
stepped Into It, and lowered the ltd,
which, by means of a secret and power?
ful spring. In the words of Byron,
"fastened her down forever." Her dis?
appearance long remained a mystery.
Tho bridegroom, after hunting for lv.>r
everywhere that lie could think of.
gave up tho search In despa'r. and
"threw away his life In foreign wars."
- He-cades afterwards, however, a Bkel
el m woa discovered In the chest,
draped In bridal satins and lace, which
served as the means for her absolute
Identification. For the "oldest Inhabi?
tant" of the neighboring village came
lorward and related the story of tie
mysterious spiriting away of the young
bride, an almost forgotten episode I
the family, another generation having
meanwhile been born, matured and de?
parted.
A few years ngo Bramshlll was In
danger of b:ing destroyed by a forest
lire, which was barely stopped In I me
tu prevent its devastating the man?
sion, sir Anthony ascribed the start?
ing of tho blaze to political enemies,
?nd published a hot anil strong matil
f :StO In a local newspaper. "I am not
aware." said he. "of having Incurred
enmity from any one, my only crime
that I know of being loyalty to my
sovereign, and my utter loathing of
Socialists, Radicals, and In only a
slightly less degree of those who, call?
ing themselves Liberals for political
not patriotic purposes, aid and abet
their doctrines," and more to tho same
effect. After this outburst of righte?
ous Indignation, Sir Anthony must have
felt humiliated by the discovery that
it was not a Socialist, not an anar?
chist, not a Liberal, not even a tramp,
t hat had set tiro to his woods and
placed his h"ine in Jeopardy, out a
v< ry small boy, the son of ono of his
servants.
It Is only by the merest chance that
the Bramshlll property happens to bo
In the possession of the present baro?
net, who Is the thirteenth, to hold th ;
honor. The eleventh baronot, Sir .lohn
Cope, who died In Is'l. knew so little
about his family that he supposed h >
had no heirs, and wished to leave
Itramshill to his lawyer. The latter was
too honest to agree to this, and com?
menced an Investigation, which brought
to light tho fact that Sir John Copu
had a distant relative living, who was
Ills tlfth cousin and next heir through
collateral descent from the second s?m
Of the first baronet. All the Issue of
tho Intervening baronets had died out.
This fifth cousin was William Henry
Cope, who therefore became the twelfth
ba ronet.
This latter Cope was a minor canon
of W istmlnster, had served in the army
as a lieutenant of the Rifle Brigade,
and was a son of Gonornl B. It, Cope.
His succession to Bramshlll was not
an unmixed blessing, the cost of main?
tenance being loo large for his com?
paratively small means, lie was a
great friend of Charles Klngsle.V, who
was rector of the neighboring .'lllaR.*
of ISverstsy. He was also a friend of
Cardinal Newman, i hough not by any
means a convert to his Ideas, taking
??are to announco in his will that ho
died "In the faith professed by the
Anglican Church.'.' sir Anthony Cope
Is th'e son of tills Canon Cope, and
his next heir Is his (Sir Anthony's)
eldest son. Iiori/.il Cope.
