famillar to the average reader than that
of any other Of that craft. The bit Of
prophetic dogeerel with which her name
Is now 90 frequently associated was not,
however, Of her composition. The true
history Of this so-called prophecy is not
generally known. In 1862 Chas. Hindley,
Of Brighton, Eng, published small vol
ume which purported to be an exact re-
print Of the original edition Of Mother
shipton's Prophecies" printed in 1913.
In the spring Of 1873 Mr.. Hindley con-
iessed that he had fabricated the famous
prophecy, as well as ten others, in order
to render his books saleable.
It is not to be inferred from this, how.
ever. that Mother shipton was not more
or less successful prognosticator Of future
events In her generation. She told the
great Wolseley that he should never come
to York; and, in fact, when within eight
miles Of it, he was arrested by Northum-
berland at King Henry's order, and
brought to Leicester, where he died. She
l. also said to have foretold the great fire
Of London, the execution Of Charles l.,
and many notable events Of the reforma-
ton. and the reign Of Elizabeth and
James. At the age Of 70 she foretold her
own death, and she died at the very hour
she had predicted.
Thestory Is related that one day mason
named Barbe, who had some local reputa-
tiOn a. . fortune teller, said to Nine. de
Maintenon, who was at that time the wife
Of Searron:
after much trouble, great king will
love you; you will reign; but, although
ct the summit Of favor, 1t will be Of no
benefit to you"
To this prophecy be added some re-
markable details, which are said to have
caused the lady considerable emotion.
Her friends rallied her about the predic.
ton, when the conjurer said to them, with
the air Of man confident Of the truth Of
what be had foretold: "You may amuse
yourselves at her expense, but you will
then be glad to kiss the hem Of her gar
