at length to remind them that time

Thus Mary was married to the man
to save whose life she had four months
before married the French king.
She and Queen Claude had forgotten
nothing and all arrangements were
completed for the flight. A messenger
had been dispatched two hours before
with an order from Queen Claude that
ship should be waiting at Dieppe

arrival.
After the ceremony Claude quickly
bound up Mary's hair. and the queens
departed from the chapel In their
coach. We soon followed. meeting
them again at st. Denis gate, where
we found the best OF horses and four
sturdy men awaiting us. The messen.

had another to rely upon. had taken
the opportunity to become thoroughly

"No, no! You would not. Eve, were

ball game near Washington, Pa, last
Sunday, and his decisions did not
seem to give unmixed satisfaction.
Toward the close Of the game he gave
one decision which evidently gave
great pain to the players on both
sides. Half dozen of them seized
and carried him to nearby river and
tossed him in. Umpire Hayes scram-
bled out in hurry, whereupon the in
dignant athletes threw him back and
held him under water until lie was
nearly drowned. Then they rolled him
on beer keg until he recovered,
when they volunteered the informa-
ton that he was not cut out for an
umpire. On reflection Mr.. Hayes is
prepared to agree with this idea. How
