Two Curious Tales.

In 1875 a misery old lady was found
dead in a fence corner a few miles
south of Blaise, France. When found
she was lying fiat on her back, with
one arm around her head grasping a
sunbonnet. Since that time not a
spear of grass has grown on the spot
where her body lay. The outlines OF
the form, limbs, etc, are as plain as
though they had been made by per-
son lying down in snow or in plastic
clay.
Just back of the great British mu-
seam. London, there is a little plot of
ground known the world over as 'the
field of the forty footsteps" The old
legend concerning the place is to the
effect that two brothers, in the time OF
the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion,
took different sides and that they en-
gagged in a deadly duel on this little
plot Of ground. They stood off twenty
steps from a certain line and at thu
word met at that line and killed each
other with knives. The forty impress
sions made by their feet while ad-
vancing were ever afterward bare of
grass and were still pointed out LEA
years ago ct the time when the 10
was .co,el2d by large stone building.

her wrinkles are gone, and is happy til
