tence worked out is "Shak' st-spurre is

ture. much given to drink
1t is from such sentences as this one
worked out from some methodical plan
that Mr.. Donnelly claims evidence of pre-
arrangement of the words, and the exist
ence of the Baconian or Shakespearian
cipher in this and other plays.
In the preface of this book, "The Cipher
in the Plays and On the Tombstone" we
read:

'"And yet through this thorny and stony
path with its brambles and thistles, we
advance into a new world-more glorious
than all the novels ever written.
And so l beg the reader to patiently

letter from Hon. Ignatius Donnelly,

in which he says: Il see you are adver-

the theater where many of the so-called
Shakespeare plays were acted.
Then by the same method Mr.. Donnelly
finds this sentence:
LAS soon as it is bruited abroad put a
stop at once to unaccounted rumofs, sur
mises, jealousies and reports, which I
have been constrained to deny many
times"
This goes to strengthen report that
even then it was rumored that Bacon
wrote the Shakespeare plays.
More evidence is given on this head in
the fragment
THE old jade (the queen) listening with
greedy. impatient ears to my hateful
kinsman's (CeciD strange tale"
And then there is given:
MY cousin gave her majesty many in
stances to prove that Shak' st-spurre had
never written these playes''
Then comes this sentence:
THE old termagent threatens to hang
and embowel me, If it is shown that |
pay: and furnished them to Philip Hence
low"
To complete the story we have:
Il would rather die thousands deaths
than bring such great disgrace and igno-
my upon the great name of my noble
father, Sir Nicholas and the name of
Bacon, which hath been honorable in
arms ever since the Conquest
This reference to the reputed author of
the play is made:
Shak st-spurre is the first born some
of a poor, sickly, woe-begone creature,
much given to drink
So that the reader can see something of
the nature of the cipher, an example of
Mr.. Donnellys method in the plays is pre-
sented. 1t is from the 1923 folio, and is
from page IS of the "Histories,' and the
second page of the play of the SECOND ma rt
