How a Duke bought a Wife.

In a church near Edgeware, England,
is the mortuary chapel of the ChandOs
family. with a huge marble tombstone
and a figure in Roman costume of the
Duke of ChandOs, with one of his wives
on either side. A romantic story is
told about the marriage of the dukes
third wife. The duke. who lived early
i'm the eighteenth century, is said to
have been driving through MARI
borough. and while halting at the castle
inn to have heard a wOman's screams
proceeding from the yard. He went to
see what was the matter and found a
beautiful girl at the mercy of a hOstler,
who was beating her cruelty. The
duke interfered and the hOstler de-
clared that the girl was his wife, and
therefore he had a right to beat her,
but that he was willing to sell her for
500. The duke paid down the money
and took the girl away, had her ed
ucated and eventually married her. The
quaint story is recorded in a book
which is preserved in the British mu-
scum and which is bound in crimson
velvet that remained over from the
coffin of the duchess.
