LEGEND OF THE GARTER.
Contradictory Versions of the Foun.

l knew, as every schoolboy knows,
the legend that a certain Countess of
Salisbury dropped her garter at ball
and that the king, picking it up amid
the smiles of courtiers, handed it to her
with the happy and now immortal
phrase, "Honl soft qui NAL y pense.'
But this legend / recalled, had had to
go the way Of the story of King AL
fred and the cakes, the story of Will
liam Tell and the apple and many an
other pretty fairy tale of history. At
last / went to Sir Nicholas Harris Nico-
las History of the Orders of Knight

queen or the kings mistress" Segar,

published several heraldic works, ridi-

that an author of Henry WIS time,

now entirely lost, upheld it,
Raphael Holinshed, a chronicler, who
died in 1880, tells the story in detail
and says the lady was the queen, which
surely rather spoils the significance of
the legend. Sir Harris Nicolas him
self thinks the story is not improbable,
although he urges the fact that Jean
Froissart, who is the best contempo-
rary authority on the reign of Edward
Ill, while he has much to say about
the order in his hundredth chapter,
does not refer to it, and Nicholas ad-
m1ts that this tells very much against
the supposed origin of the story, but
Froissart may have thought the matter
too trivial to relate. By the way, I feel
very much aggrieved that G. G. Macau-

RUNS DOWN BOY CYCLE THIEF
Automobile Accident Leads to Arrest

Detention Home

AS the result of an accident in which
Walter Donnelly, aged a., was run
down by an automobile operated by
w. V. Brown of S2S East Twenty-eighth
street, detectives yesterday found that
the lad had stolen the bicycle which
he was riding at the time.
Donnelly, who lives at West Tenth

eral days ago from the detention home
on promise of good behavior.

owned by Herndon Harrison of the Out
West Publishing company on the day
he was given freedom. The boy is said
to have taken the wheel to the home
of friend who did not know that it
was stolen. Friday, Donnelly went after
the wheel and while riding it was run
down by Mr.. Brown. Brown took the
boy to his home and sent the wheel to
a repair shop. Detectives Zeigler and
Craig discovered the wheel and identi-
fled it as belonging to Harrison.
Taking up this clew the detectives
soon succeeded in locating Donnelly
and arrested him yesterday on a charge
of grand larceny. The officers say that
the boy is incorrigible and will prob
ably be sent to Whittier.
