the Tourth-it was dedicated to my lord of
Essex-said she had good opinion there
was treason In Il, and asked me Il could not
find plans In 20 that could be drawn within
case of treason, whereto I answered: For
treason surely found none, but for felony
very many. And when her majesty hastily
asked me wherein, I told her the author had
committed very apparent theft, for he had
taken most Of the sentences of Cornelius
Tacitus and translated them into English and
put them into his text Another time, when
the queen would not be persuaded that it was
his writing whose name was TO it, but that il
had some more mischievous author, and said
with great indignation that she would have
him racked TO produce his author, I replied:
Nay, madame, never rack his person but
rack his stile; let him have pens, ink and
paper, and help Of books, and be enjoined to
continue the story where il leaves off, and
win undertake by collecting the stiles to
judge whether he was the author or no, ~
Observe the sly humor with which Bacon
attempts to divert the queen by speaking of
plagiarism as felony. But Mr. Donnelly
finds confirmation of the foregoing account
in the cipher story, one paragraph of which
reads:

AN ALBANIAN ROMANCE.
The Sad Story Of Girl Captivated by
q Handsome Marksmen.

During visit to Albania, one Of the
small independent Balkan states, saw
some remarkacle deeds of craftsmanship
and heard a strange story regarding the
skill of the Albanians, says Olive Harper IN
the Philadelphia Press.
There was young man of some "a or %
who was not only remarkably handsome
among all these handsome men, but was
one of the most expert marksnen they had.
| He finally was persuaded to visit some
cities to show his skill, and with him he had
a young man who used to assist him by
holding different objects for the other to
shoot at. They finally reached this place
after very successful tour, and as he was
about to give an exhibition at his own birth
place of his powers, his helper was help
! lessly intoxicated.
| Among the disappointed audience was
slender and pretty young girl Of only 10
| who had loved this young man in secret
ever since she could remember. He offered
| 900 drachmas for a volunteer, man or
woman, who would take his mans place,
and this young girl stepped out and up to
the platform. He accepted her and she
stood without moving or finching while
tho balls almost grazed he delicate flesh
On their way where he sent them.
Her courage captivated him and they
were married and together they visited
many countries and in France made a
great Juror They had been married two
years, and he had perhaps grown weary
| OF such utter devotion, or he was dazzled
by woman of rank in France, and he ne
| elected his poor little wife, and every night
this temptress sat in a box and watched
the handsome Albanian who looked up to
her for approval after each feat.
These Albanian women have little mind
and no education, and they live only on
| their love, and when that is wrecked they
have nothing to fall back on and they die
That was all she she could do, and life was
not worth the living without his love. So
she wrote a poor little misspelled letter,
| telling him that she was broken hearted and
| was going to die, so that he could be happy
| with that beautiful woman who loved
him and whom he loved that she did not
blame him in the least. she was only sorry,
and that she was but young and could not
die unless she died by violence, and so, not
to have the sin of suicide on her soul, she
was going to let him kill her that night
She would welcome death from his hand.
And that evening at the performance, as
she held rose by short stem, she waited
until too late for him to save her and threw
herself forward, receiviag the ball in her
brain, and smiling at him as she died. They
| found the poor little note, and he took the
dead body of his wife home to her native
hills, and she lies in the sunshine on the
slope near the lake she loved In youth.
His career was closed. He is now quite
gray, and shuns all gay company, and
has never touched a gun since that night in
Paris
