and bis life was passed principally In

no answer to his ring at handsome
residence. he tried the knob, opened
the door and walked In, Hearing no

which he saw woman in the yard
hanging up clothes. The premises had
evidently been left in her care, Pull

Stories Of Wonderful Skill With Bow
and Arrow.
The expression drawing long bow"
does not of necessity mean the telling
of falsehood. II sometimes refers to
wonderful story, which may be true
enough, but which is so marvellous as
to require firm trust In the veracity
of the narrator to enable the hearer to
believe 1t. Some of the longest bows
Of this sort have been drawn about
bows and arrows.
These stories began long ago. Virgil
In the "1lneit.." tells of four archers
who were shooting for Il prize, the
mark being pigeon tied by cord to
the mast Of ship. The first man hit
the mast, the second cut the cord, and
the third shot the pigeon AS 1t few
away. The fourth archer, having moth
ing left to shoot, drew his bow and
sent his arrow flying toward the sky
with such srped that the friction Of the
air set the feathers on fire, and 1t
swept on. Ike meteor, TO disappear

The stories told Of Robin Hoods
archery, Illustrated by his wonderful
performance as LOcksley in SCOTS
"Tvanhoe." are also decided strain
upon a sensible PERSONS creduIity. The
famous story Of William Tell, doubted
by many persons, is believed by others
to have foundation Of fact. There
was Dane named Foke Of whom the
same story Is told, and William Of
Cloudesley, an Englishman, Is said to
have shot an apple from his sons head
merely to show his expertness.
Most stories of bows and arrows re-
late to the accurate aim Of the archers,
but a Frenchman, Blaise de Vigenere,
tells one that shows the tremendous
force with which an arrow may be
