W k.Oarr. n Hn' l'oow fssj TICK YKKSKY AXCESTOK, The Verney children were very proud of their great-grandfather. It is not ever boy and girl who knows who hU orlter (great-grandfather was. The Verne children knew all about the individual who occupied thin position in their family; and, a I said before, thev were very proud of him. Mr. VeYney, the childree't father, took a great interest in hi family history; and once, when on a vjaltTtd England traced back hia line of ancestor to the time Of the Norman Conquest To be sore, the family name was l)e Veruaye. but Si li well kiiowu that our forefathers often spelt their names very differently front the way in - which we'upelt ouri There waa alsto a bretk in the line of ancestry from l..)to 1670, during which period a part of the family waa supoeed to nave emigrated to America. A good many English families did jBftt ir rato to America alioutthist tnie, and if the l)e Yeraaye family wen: coming at all, il is probably that they came then. There wan another break fn.ru the period of thin aii()He emi-rratiou down to the time of the creai-grund-father whom the Verney children knew all about. But it wan evident in the mind of Mr. Verne v that tbeae gaps could be satisfactorily filled up. if he could only pet hoid of the proper records, that the orai sions in his line of ancestors did not trouble him at all, While in England, he had visited the old castle of the (Jurat cr, into whicli family the l)e Vernaves were said to have married about the time Mr. Verney lost track of them. In this castle was a mailed figure, seated in a chair. Which figure, Mr. Vernev was ositive from certain marks on the armor, wai intended to represent Sir Leopold Ie ernaye, who niut have been his ancestor. Mr. V erm y would nave been very f lad to buy tht figure and .set it up in ia library at home, because verv few, or none, indeed, of hts friends had mailed t gures of their ancestors. But the idea of having a mailed tigure in hit library was so attractive to Sir. Verney that he bought a suit of old armor in England and took it home with him. It ww not such handome armor as that worn bv the proud Sir Leopold, but it would do very well, and wa far better in hU ees than -the old Continental uniforms of which tome of his neigh, bow were soj.roud. This suit of mail he had properly set up on a peueiat m nis nnrary, which room waa handsomely furnished with okf-fashNWied chairs, a high ckxk, and otner furnpnre that looked as if it had belonged at some tint to ancient fami lies. The books had formerly been kept in Um library, but as the book-cases did not suit the other furniture, they had been removed to an upper room. This figure be showed, to hut friends aa a specimen of the kinfl of armor his ancestors must have worn. "The brave wearer of this mail," he would say, had certainly done some hard fighttag, and these dents and thoae breaks in the mail were probably made when he couched hia lance or drew his sword ht the battles of Hastings and Maraton Moor." Some of Mr. Verney' s visitor, who remembered English history, knew that this individual must have lived a very ong life indeed if be had fought in bodt tho battles of Hasting and Maraton Mow. but thev were too polite to say anything about It. 3 In course of time this suit of armor, Md the iirmed figure of the De Vemaye, about which their father talked so wh, booame so mixed up in the minds of the Verney children, that thev really upooaed thst the figure of the' mailed knight In the library represented one of Uroir ancestors, and before vory kmg.
