Tragic coincidence has dogged the footsteps of the King and Queen of Slam. Every plan they kávo made recently has been spoilt by death or assassination.

The story is told by M. Smaks- man, young confidential secretary to the King;

MR. JOHN BELL

Mr. J. J. Dell, the noted Scots author and creator of "Wéo Mac- greegor," died suddenly in Aber- dren.

John Joy Bell was a native of Glasgow. He was born in 1871 and was reared in Hillhead. He first went to school at Kelvinsido Academy, and then to Morrison's Academy, where he had as hia English master the poet John Davidson.

From Crieff, John Bell went to Glasgow University study science. Fifteen months later, however, he left the University, and he entered the tobacco manu- facturing business with his father. He remained there for a few yenra, but in 1895 he returned to the University, once again to study science. Selence, however, could girls' berets are not ae clean not hold him. He then became
