In AIS A. D.. the Roman forces came
up To London for the summer, and re-
PEELED the Scots and Picts, but soon re-
turned 70 Rome. leaving the provincial
people OF London with disdain. Many
of the Roman officers while in Britain

Tiber

Romans. But the latter were too busy
fighting the Huns to send troops. and in
desperation the BritOns formed an ALI
ance with Hengist and HOrSa, two
travelling men. who. in 1919 \. D., landed
on the island of Thanet. and thus ended
the Roman dominion over Britain.

l don't know anybody that is quite

his wife Is busy on business, as she hap
pens to be this spring, Mr. Green takes
the opportunity TO get out.
Edward Green when mis- wife is al
home, is very methodical man. He
lives a slow, easy life, spending many
hours in his club, and letting her run
the home ranch as she pleases. But
when Mrs. Hetty goes away, Edward
as though tired Of his empty quarters
gets out also.
"A year ago he was sick, and then the
devotion of his wife in nursing him and
dismissing unworthy nurses was set
forth in public and people found out for
the first time that Hetty and her nus
band were good friends. II isn't right
to misrepresent woman as Hetty
Green is continually misrepresented.
But that is the penalty of being a 'leetle
too grasping, as they say up in the
country regions where Hetty makes her
summer home.

Agricola no doubt made the Roman

Hadrian was compelled to build a wall
TO keep out the still unconquered Gale

Later in POS A. D., Severus built a solid
wall of stone along this line. and for
