who was hunting In the neighboring for

been brought to bay by the hunting party
He was thrown TO the ground by the flu
rious animal and was in imminent danger
of death.
Suddenly a cross arose from the ground
between the form of the beast and the
monarch; and the stag, affrighted, fed
The cross remained on the spot. Its ma
terial substance was mystery to those
who examined 1t.
The occurrence was looked upon as mi
raculous. In gratitude TO heaven the king
ordained that shrine should arise on the
ground adjacent He decreed that IL be
called the Church of the Holy Rood and
gave 1t in the care of the canons regular
of st. Augustine.
What remains of the abbey is called the
Chapel Royal 1t is only a fragment of the
old building, but Is yet considerable. The
portion formed the nave of the great alb

queen Magdalen. Henry, Lord Darnley

nobility. The grave of Riccio is not within

Buyers were hampered with the fewest

seed or anything called for at wholesale
prices Generally speaking, the orchard
sites when thus prepared were offered at
