but now, search made among documents belonging to Captain Edward Unwin.R.N., who won the V.C.in the late war, has revealed the fact that the sec annuity of 1300 a year which Mre Gainsborough received Was a charge on the Duke of Beaufort'a estate.Gainsborough's courtship, as de- soribeë by Sir Walter Armstrong his biographer, began with love at tirst sight The tor at his work in the woods, when suddenly the vision of Margaret Burr, in all the lovelinans of youth became part ot the sylvan scene.A clandestine marriage followed This secret wedding, particulars of which have only recently been found, was solemnised on July 185, 1746.at Dr.Keith's chapel in Curson street, Mayfair.The fresh ttle country brids was only 16 years old her husband only thres years he senior.: This chapel was to London hen = Gretna \u201cireen became Inter, arrays was solemanized without a ficense, banns, or conwent of rente Pen the letters now discovered, written by Gainsborough to James Unwin, of Castle-yard, Holborn, an eminent nttarney, and ancestor of the present holder of the doen ments there !» eviden-e that the marriage was a happy one and that Gainshorough was an appreciative husband, .Hut thers was always this mystery of Margaret's origin.It was known that she had an annuity of 381.000 à year, and she boasted of having \u201cthe blood of kings in her veins.On an ncrasinn af Wows > ° tivity, when her husband was high tn fame, says Sie Via._ she vindicated some little ostentation in dress by whispering to her neice \u201cI have some right to this, for you know, my love, I am & prince's daughter.\u201d Many curious theories were advanced during her lifetime and later, hut there is strong evidence today that the beautiful girl was of princely blood.Among the papers explored by Mr.Harrison is an account between Gainsborough and James Unwin, Anted 1757, on which is recorded: June 36\u2014To cash received from his grace the Duke of Beaufort's estate, for two years\u2019 annuity, due Midsmr., 1767 .32,000 The duke referred to appears to be either the third or the fourth of the line, and, as the family history dates back direct to Edward III, Margaret's claim to blue blood may be correct, though proof positive that she really was the duke\u2019s daurhter is not to be found.Eleven letters and other papers now discovered throw light on Gainsborough's private character.In one of fthem the painter asks Mr.Unwin to \u201ckeep my secret\u201d and In another he says that not one of his relatives \u201cknows what you do.\u201d In yet another he mays: \u201cI should have blushed to confess that to an as which 1 did to you: and so much for secrels.\u201d The secret of that adventure is lost.\u201d COMMERCIAL PLANE OVER ATLAS MOUNTAINS London, Feb, 23-\u2014For the first SAL A FEW MONEY SAVING REDUCTIONS WHICH EXPLAIN WHY OUR SALE I8 PROVING SO POPULAR.\u2014;\u2014\u2014\u2014 20% off All Kitchen Towels, Towelling, Quilts, Table Linen and Bath Mats.Silk in black and colors, to clear less 33 1-3 percent.$1.10 now 74¢;

Turcoman, who was in the British Naval force for five years during the World War, the Prince Bite] Frederick, one of the moat famous\u2019 German sea-raiders was foroed to: wek shelter and iniern In Newport | News by a ship armed with wooden suns, camoufiaged ae & cruiser, which would have.been an easy prey for the German craft Commander Bolton la authority for the information that the Prince Bitel Frederick was chased for sev.ersd hundred miles by the steamship Clevie, a freight ship, which had been rigged up to represent a tam- ous British naval cruiser.Believing that she was pureued by a craft manned by guns of tremendous range and power the German mea.raider, which raised havoe with British merchant shipping during the early part of the war, finaly went into Newport News to escape destruction.With the Prince Mitel Frederick safely at anchor in Newport News the news was sent broadcast that & British cruiser, which had been In pursuit of the German sea-raider, wae crulsing back and forth outside the three mile limit in walt for the Hun craft to venture forth.German agents were on the job and reported to the commander of the Prince Bite! Frederick that he was doomed to disaster if he ventured from the United States port.As a result of this information the commander of the German ship decided that he would Intern his ship, His decision ended the career of the Prince Eitel Frederick as a sea i raider as she remained under the vntchful eye of the United States iovernmént during the remainder of the war, And the expression that he who laughs last laughs best is well ex- «mplitied when Captain Boltor makes an expose of che trick which resulted in the Prince Eitel Frederick's internment.\u2019 The White line Ceviv, a merchant ship, was equipped with Wooden guns and other skipper fell the duty of going forth on the seven seas and out-guessed the Germans.He followed the Prince Kite] Frederick for hundreds of miles, finally drove the dreaded sea-raider Into what was then a neutral port and forced her to intern.\u201cI know that the story is abeo- lutely true,\u201d said commander Bolton because it was told to be by the commander of the Cevic.He spent many anxious hours while crulsing back and forth off Newport News because he feared that the German sea-raider might de.olde to make a dash for It out In the open sea.Had the German ses raider left Newport News the Cevic equipped with only weoden guns would have been forced \u2018to run for it* It would have heen the height of folly for the Cevic to have stood her ground and entered battle with the armed German raider eo it w with a sigh of relief that the skip per of the British ship finally re- celved word that the Prince Bitel Frederick's commander had determined to intern et Newport News.\u201d Commander Bolton was for five years an officer ot the Royal Naval Reserve during the World War.He was for more than a year in command of one of Britain's mystery ships hunting German submarines.Today Commander Bolton possesses the Distinguished Service Cross and the Royal Decoration.He has commanded the Turcoman for near 1y three yenre During the World War Command er Bolton had the distinction of taking 11 prizes of war into British ports.He boarded 106 vessels and commanded torpedo destroyers, mystery ships and a dight cruiser.For a time during the war he was with the fleet of American destroyers which operated out of Queens town.While in command of one of the British mystery ships Commander Bolton towed five damaged ships into port, escorted 313 ships entely through the danger sone, saved 461 lives from engagements with enemy submarines and claims to have sunk tive enemy submarines.Hunting submarines was real sport, according to Commander Bolton.It was hazardous duty, but re.sardiess of that fact, it rivalled a fox hunt or any other branch of hunting.On one trip while commander of & British mystery ship, Commander Bolton chased or hunted a German submarine for nearly two and one-half days.The chase covered 120 miles before the German under sea craft finally came to the surface.\u201cWhite merchant ships Were con- escape Qermen submarines\u201d says Commander Bolton.\u201cIt was the duty of the mystery ship under my command to locate the Huns undersea craft, have them discover us and fire torpedoes at us.We were supposed to draw their fire in order to locate them and then sink them.We welcomed the opportuné- ty to have a torpedo from the Uboat come towards us and simply waited for the German craft to come to the surface in order that we osht get & crack at her, \u201cOur myetery ships were call Q-Boals and resembled all or of craît Including merchant ships and fishermen, We were decoys to the German U-boats and time end time again we were under gun-fire from the Germans until we coulé Et them in a position to destroy them.Oh, yes, huntufg subs was real aporty, We were always in danger of being shot down, but we stood by unti our chance came and then we got them.\u201d \u201cReports to the contrary, mines are far more dangerous than tor- tinually steering zix-xag courses to;

procedure and we note with regrot that the Ottawa Journal which, if memory serves, defended the Canadian Government Mevehast Marino om numerous occasions prior to the late elections, is now legding a hue and cry for its abolition.Mr.D.B.Hasna also bas lst fall remarks creating the imprestson that hs is by no means en- thastastio over this branch of the national service and the suspicion suggreis itself that certain apologisu of the Cansdisn National Raliways are disposed to scuttle the Marine in order 10 comelliate Government owners ship critien.That an adverse balance of nine million dollere ast year offers plausible excuse for a volte face is quite true and we do not dispute the fact that Canada can thaflord to have such deficits accumulate.On the other hand, it i» Hght to say that this poor showing is not dus to permanent or epoctal conditions peculiar to Canada but (0 temporary conditions, general throughout the world.Against the deficit of 1921 must also be sot the more favorable figures of pre- vions years.Says the Journal: \u201cLos of à coel nine millions dollars last year on the Canadian Meretmnt Marine provides food of reflection.Construction of Canadian mercantile ships was begun, primarily, to meet the German sobmarine peril.Bug Mr.Bailantyns, who was father of the idea, concaived the motion that à siate-operated merchant fleet had become à pational neceasity, and long after the submarine peril had passed he continued building ships.It is but fuir to say that Mr.Ballantyne was noc solely responsible.The Gove ernment that preceded It, as well as the Govern men of Mr.Meighen, heartily smpported the project, and the Liberal Opposition, led dy Mr.Mackenzie, and Inter by Mr.King, ceriainly put no obstacles in the war.\u201cThe result is that the country finds itself with & feet of ahout sixty ships constructed at peak prices at a time when there is a surplus of tonnage, whea the value of ships have shrunk to onc-balf of thelr war value, and when a world depresison in trade has produced a scarcity of cargoes.Last year, In consequence of this condition, the national treasury suffered to the extent of more than $1,500,080; and this year, despite Mr, Ballantyne's rosy predictions, the defloit is nine millions.\u201cEverything considered, it begins to look as though Mr.Ballantyne would have been well advised to stop buliding ships Lnmediately after the armistice and also to have sold the ships he had on hand.After all, there is a limit to what à country ran do In the way of mecting losses, and ac à time when we were shouldering an annual burden of $60,000.000 for our raliways, it was hardly the part of wisdom 10 gamble with a.merchant marine.\u201d The Toronte Mail & Empire also damns the Merchant Marine with faint praise, although taking a more judicial stand and appsrently not desirous of com- pintely abandoning the enterprise.It observes of the Gnanciai statement for last year, \u201cThat is a heavy de.@cit, but Is relatively small compared with the losses sustained by British and Unlied States shipping in the same period.Considering that the sixty ships kept plowing the seas with great regularity, while most of the United States aud much of the British shipping was laid ap, the servico to Canadian trade made up, large- Iy, for the loss as shown on the Gosernment records.\u201cHeating in mind thas 1921 shipping conditions were cxtremely abnormal, and not likely to be duplicated again in clhelr demnenlization, it may be that the Government Marine ls attemping too eatensive a coms petition with other well established Mbes.\u201cThe malin ppose of the Government fleet, COB structed in war time, was 10 ensure Canada agains à shortage of shipping, esceaive rates, and to allow some independence in rate-flaing.Contracts were let after ihe armistice, partly to carry Important industries through the shake-up that followed it.The mission of the Government fret today han changed somewhat.It should now he concmentrated In developiug new trade opportunithks, not in dividing with private lines, busi ness that they handle efficiently and economically,\u201d Whatever ruay be sald for of againet other argue ments it is only commimos-sense that the Government whould pot duplicate esistiag private services and the Chronicle willingly cridduenes the Mail's conception of the true part 10 be played by Canada's merchant fleet.KCOTLAND NEXT The demand for the right to self-determination continues tos spread and thers is no nying how far it will go or where 11 will stop at the present time.The success of the movement in Ireland has produced its reaction In Sentland end, in consequence, the Chronicle has received à copy of a manifesto from the Scottieh Home Itule Arsociation t the Bush Government.Logioally or equitably there appears 10 bo no reason why greater objection should be raised to a Scottish than an Irish Free State but practically the positions of the two peoples in relation té Fngland are not identical.With Scotland segregated from the United Kingdom, Wales would inevitably follow and in the end Gevat Britain might concelvably de split up into the littie kingdoms from which it evolved.Admittedly the Imperial Parliament has too large # field of administration to be attended to with offi- cleacy but, if there is to be decentralization, Canadians a4 any rate will believe that the greatest hope for the future lies in the adoption of a Federal system along the lines of that in vogue in this Dominion, We are unaware of what following the Scottish Home Rule Association possesses or how far its leaders may be accepted as representative but, their manifento, reproduced herewith, is not without intéres, ns à sign of the Soviet tendencies of the time in which we live.\u201cWe desire to congratulate iis Majesty's Governmeat,\u201d the document declares, \u201cupon the cpooh-mak- jag settlement of the \u2018Irish Question\u2019 For centuries Ireland has been an open sore In the body politic of the British people, and a term of reproach to ue in every part of the world.Self-Government for Ireland, long Qelayed, and long overdue, is now an accomplish.of tact, and the creation of an Irish Fren State with Dominion Status ie, in our opinion, calculated to remove, fully and finally, the causes of Lriah political discontent, and is in accordance with the best traditions of British Statesmanship, We welcome the now \u2018Irish Fres State to the community of free Beitish pations, ia the confident hope that ftp insegeration will open

The sun shines hot in Ktaly, Figs ripen on the wall, Fall many a statued cloister Dead pagan days recall; Vines cluster round Amal, A thousand foontains play, And pamion-fiow'rs heguile the hours, But, oh, my beart is wae! And nights are clear in Naples, Riar-spangled is the sky, Above looms gaunt Vesuvius, A menace ever nigh; Hard by spreads mute Pompelt, With frescoes acratched and worn, On Capris isle the moonbeams

after all.He asked the Council, at its meeting last Monday to reconsider its previous decision, and the Council agreed; all of which means that a tax on bicycles has passed the sphere of improbability, and is likely to be a thing of fact before many weeke have elapsed.\u201cThe Chief of Police strongly recommended to the Police Commissioners ths advisability of passing a by-law to licence bicycles, chiefly for the purposing of registration, and thereby enabling the police to trace any bicycle In case of accident, theft or misplacement.\u201d the Mayor has informed the Counefl by letter.\u201cThe Police Commissioners felt there was great force in the Chief: request and whilst they would not have approved of a registration fee for the purpose of revenue, they felt it was

Legislative Assembly yesterday after noon when Mr.Joseph Gauthier, Member for St.Mary's Montreal, and representative of the Interna tional Typographical Union in the present negotiations, rose on a question of privilege to read to the House the following resolution pess- ed by the Quebeo Printers:\u2014 by the Quebec Printers:\u2014 \u201cAs requested by Honorable Mederic Martin, Mayor of Montreal! and by Mr.Joseph Gauthier, M.L Afor Bt.Mary's Montreal, we have decided to resume the work which Is necessary to allow the legislature to continue its present session, on the conditions which were offered by the employers, that is to say $22 for 48 hours, Including the printing of statutes, \u201cWe wish the population bf the city and of the Province of Quebec as a whole to

resolution to the House, owing to the embarrassing position in which I was placed.I am member for a labor division, besides I am a printer and representative of the International Typographical Union in the Province of Quebec.I wanted to do my duty and I can say that since the 14th, of February, that is to say since the outbreak of this unfortunate strike of the Quebec printers [ did all in my power to bring the interested parties together and reach an understanding.\u201cFinally, Hon.Mederic Martin, Mayor of Montreal.having come to Quebec, he and I worked together and obtained the concession that the deliherations of the Lagislature would not be affected by this strike.\u201c1 must say that the printers never intended to hurl a challenge to the Legislature in starting this strike during the session.contract expired on the 14th of February, this date had been fixed for a long time, and the printers never wanted to hamper in any way the labors of the Legislature.They firmly believe that their claims are just and that they will finally obtain justice.\u2018fot me add that I hope that, within a few days, probably next week, all the printers will be back at work and that there will be a definite understanding between those interested, Mr.Sauve\u2014\"Will the Honorable member permit me to ask him a question?\u201d /Mr.dauthler\u2014\"Certainly.\"\u201d

information relative to the intervention of the Mayor of Montreal, he would do better to apply to Mr.Martin himself.\" Here the Premier made a statement on behalf of the Government.He mid: \u2014 \u201cI am delighted that the proposition whirh we made last week has been finally agreed to.\u2018That this should have been done through Hon.| Mr, Martin and the member for Bt.Mary's Montreal, | do not object, and 1 congratulate them both.\u201cI wish to ray, however, that the Government maintains the stand which It took lust week and 1 have nothing to withdraw of what I! maid then The printers tell us that they never had the intention of Tone up our legislative lahore, say, that last week, they avant refused to work on the printing of the 1.egislsture, they even refused to leave a single nan to Mraighten out the printing work already under way.1 am happy to note today that they have altered their decision.\u201d The \u2018Premier joined Mr.Gauthier in hoping that the strike would soon come to a close and that the dif- fictuitien between the master-print- era and the workment would be definitely settled.Continuing the Premier said:\u2014 \u201cI repeat what I said recently.1 hope that our workmen will have enough independence and patriotism to settle their own business without having to walt for orderw from out- oide.I am pleased with the friendly stlement which has just been concluded thanke to the spirit of Canadianism which moves our people, and hope, that dus to this mame spirit, the strike will not dreak out again after the session.\u201cI know that our attitude may have displeased & few labormen and it is unfortunate.But we have received eo many testimonials of approval from all sides that we are convinced that our attitude was the right one under the circumstances.At all events the Government has nothing to regret, and if the same ls sue came up again I would not heel- tate to take the mme utend.\u201d Laxamive Syrup Pepsin ES i Ne vert pra de Be
