GREAT LOVE STORIES
OF HISTORY e.

King James and Joan Beaufort
(Copyriaht BY the Author.)

An 11-year-old Scotch bow was cap-
tured In 14O5 by English officials as
ne was on his way to France to be
educated. The boy was James, only
hVins son of King Robert III. of Scot
land. England and Scotland were for
ever quarreling with each other. So
me capture of the latter country's
little crown prince was looked on as
a master stroke of diplomacy. Robert
Ill. died the next year, after trying in
vain to persuade the English king to
set his son free. The lad at IL became
James l. of Scotland, and remained 10
years longer as prisoner in Eng
land.
The English treated the boy kindly
The best tutors were provided for
him. He was also taught the warlike
accomplishments without which no

was complete. The prisoner king as
he grew to manhood won fame as an
athlete and as a poet. Once as he

Martin Luther and Catherine Won Bora

The mOst-talked-Qf man In Europe
in 1928 fell in love with a nun. He
himself was a former monk. The man
was Martin Luther, the famous re-.
former, who had declared his indie
pendence of the churchly customs of
the day; and who not only placed the
Bible into the hands of the plain peo-
pie, but was the founder of the Protes-
tant creed in Germany.
Luther, after casting loose from the
established church, continued to
preach his doctrines (often at risk of
his life) and to gain new converts by
the thousands. Among these converts
was pretty nun named Catherine
Won Bora. Catherine, while very young,
had entered a convent near Grimma,
Germany. News of Luther's teachings
reached her and she was soon won
over to his way of thinking in regard
to religious matters. She went so far
as to convince eight other nuns that
Luther's opinions were right. Then
the nine women decided to give up
convent life. But to make such a de-
cision and to act upon it were two
quite different things. In her perplex-
ity Catherine wrote to Luther for aid

friends out of the convent one night

the Convent nuns caused a
great sensation. Now that they were
freed from the convent, Luther did not
quite know how to dispose of them.
He prevailed upon the relatives of
some to take them into their homes.
and he advised others to marry. But
Catherine was not so easily settled in
life. She was pretty, and only "a
years old. She was also what would
now be called new woman" She
did not relish the idea of being mar
ried out OF hand to any man her rela-
tives might chance to select for her.
Moreover, she had secretly fallen in
love with Luther himself. Wise as the
reformer was, he had not the wit to
see this. So he proposed to her that
she marry one of his friends. She re-
fused in disgust. He suggested an
other friend; then another. She still
refused. At length in despair he
asked her to name some man she was
