A Recruit for Herne. the Hunter

Shortly before their attempted duel Sur rey and Richmond had been walking in the glades of the Home park discoursng upon those matters which were nearest the heart of each, when suddenly they heard the sound of a hunting horn, faintly winded.
 It was night and the woods were dark. As they paused to listen the sound of galloping steeds was heard and sweeping by them came the form of Herne, the Hunter, mounted upon a coal black horse and followed by an impish crew, a'so mounted upon black horses.
 Black dogs of St. Huberts breed were with the swiftly moving company of spec tra hunters. and the great horned owl which Surrey had seen before sitting upon the wrist of Herne now flew before him, hooting and screaming.
 They approached the great oak where first Surrey had seen Herne and saw hanging from its branches the form of Mark Fytton
 A paper was affixed to it's breast. By the moonlight they read it, and it said, Mark Fytton is now one of the band of Herne the Hunter

Banished to France

A great tournament was given by the King in honor of Anne Boleyn, who, on raised platform. sat as the queen of the jousts, Henry himself entered the lists and splintered several lances with his brother-in-law, the Duke of Suffolk.
 There had not been wanting at the court those who had intmated to Henry he relations existing between Sir Thomas Wyat and Anne But the king, infatuated with his new love, put all warnings aside.
 However after the tournament Henry became more and more troubled in his mind and. sending for Sir Thomas. or dered him to leave Windsor and depart immediately on special mission to France.
 Sir Thomas departed from the castle put not from Windsor. That mysterious being, Herne the Hunter, had sought him out and declared that if he would ally himself with the forest demon Anne Bo- eyn should he his. Half crazed with hope less love Sir Thomas repaired to the cave where Herne made his headquarters, and for time became member of the hunt CTS crew

Below the Round Tower

The court left Windsor for a time foi London and then returned to the castle Still Anne Boleyn was with the King and still the proceedings for divorce lam guished, In spite of all Hepry's threats and intrigues the church refused to dis solve the bonds which bound him to Cath erne of Aragon.
 Henry was becoming furious with Vol sey, and Anne Boleyn, who recognized the cardinal as her mortal enemy, swore open ly that she would ruin the proud prelate
 When the court again returned to Wind- sor, Herne the Hunter paid another visit to Surrey-as mysterious as had been the previous one.
 Below the round tower was an arbof which had been the trysting place of the captive King of Scotland, James 1, and the beautiful Jane Beaufort. James. lil<s Surrey, was a poet and his poetry still lingers-the verses he wrote to Jane Beau fort.
 Surrey was allowed to walk in the moat when this arbor stood and soon after the return of the court found there writing which said
 The fair Geraldine has arrived at the castle. If the Earl of Surrey desires tc meet her he will find her within this ar bor at midnight.''
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-17
Summoning the Hunter

Taking the missive with him Surrey thoughtfuIly returned to his apartment in the Round Tower, Was this. some trick? He would venture it anyway.
 But how to get out to keep the appoint ment, for at night he was securely locked in. As the appointed time approached Sur rey's anxiety became intolerable and in his incontrolable. excitement he cried aloud: '1f the tiend were to present him- self to me now and offer to lead me to her would follow him"
 You have summoned me, said Herne, and I am here. I am ready to guide you to the fair Geraldine. "And with what design dost thou offer me this service?' said Surrey, | Tt will be time .enopglsto put that aues- ton when I make my condition,'i replied Herne. Y 9i .s., g s-s.-s4 .-,ss., }t + Enough, said Surrey, lead on Herne drew. a lantern from beneath his cloak and threw it's light upon, a trap door lying at his feet. Through many a winding. hidden way he ledf the young earl from the interior of the tower down into the moat and to the arbor ,wfere- sure enough-was awaiting the Lady Ell zabeth Fitz Gerald.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-17
Swearing a Royal Oath

In wonderment they retraced their steps toward the castle, when again they hfard the winding of the horn and noble stag shot by, followed by Herne and his awe some crew of hunters.
 They agreed to say nothing of what they had seen, but to send the next morning and have the body of the butcher cut down and decently buried By the next morning the King was in a rage because of the information brought him that the body of Mark Fytton had disappeared from the gallows of the Cur few tower.
 And when Surrey and Richmond sent word to the wood to see if the body could be found hanging upon Hernes oak-iN had also disappeared from there. Henry learned all the story and swore his royal oath that he would rid the chase of Herne the Hunter, and his gang.
 That night came the quarrel between Surrey and Richmond and now Surrey sat prisoner in the Round Tower of the castle.

The Demon Hunter

Suddenly he was startled by blue, phosphorescent flame coming from the bushes to the left, and, on looking up. beheld at the foot of an enormous oak. whose giant roots protruded from the ground like twisted snakes, wild, spec ial object, possessing some slight resem- blance to humanity and habited. as far as could be determined, in deerskin. ., on it's head was sort of helmet, formed of the skull of a stag from which branched pair of large antlers.
 From it's left arm hung heavy and rusty looking chain, in the links Of which burned the phosphorescent fire mentioned; while on it's right wrist w5s perched large, horned owl, with feathers erect and red, staring eyes
 The earl stood spellbound, crossing him self and repeating a prayer against evil spirits. There came a horrible burst of laughter from the uncanny being and the vision was gone,
 He had seen Herne the hunter-that mys- terious demon who for so many years haunted the glades of Windsor park and whose oak is still standing to attest the truth of the legends concerning him-as every tourist knows.

Chamberlain to the King

In the twentieth year of the reign of the Right High and Puissant King, Henry the Eighth-namely in 1929, on the 21st day of April and on one of the loveliest evenings that ever fell over the loveliest districts in England-a fair youth was leaning over the terrace wall on the north side of Windsor Castle and gazing at the magnificent scene before him
 It was the young Earl of Surrey, son of His Grace of Norfolk and, in spite of his youth, already holding the post of chamberlain to the King, post the duties of which were generally dis charged by the faithful and more ma ture Captain Boucher, his lordship's cap tain of the guard.
 Surrey, though slight of build, like a boy, who had grown up too rapidly, was of remarkably well proportioned limbs and we'll trained in all martial exercises. It was evident that when he arrived at maturity he would possess great personal vigor.
 His countenance was full of thought and intelligence, his features well formed and of high and lofty bearing. He was richly dressed in black velvet, shot with gold and carried for arms rapier and dagger.

KeeDing His Word

A week later the Earl of Surrey was liberated from his confinement and heard of the affairs which had been going on at the court during his imprisonment.
 Richmond was as good as his word in giving up his pretensions to the hand Of the fair Geraldine. and now began to pay assiduous court to the Lady Mary How ard, Surrey's sister, who was deeply ln love with him and whom he finally mar ried
 During Surrey's imprisonment the king, finding all his efforts unayailing to force the court. of Rome to consent to his di- vorce from Catherine of Aragon, had made his historic break with the Roman Catholic church, had had a divorce pro- nounced by complaisant prelate. mar ried Anne Boleyn and degraded Cardinal Wolsey.
 Herne the Hunter had not failed to keep his word to appear to the king before each important step in these proceedings.
 Sir Thomas Wyatt had escaped from the clutches of Herne the Hunter and had gone upon his delayed mission to France. He had been cured of fES love for Anne Boleyn-her own conduct having con vinced him that he had loved unworthily

In the Park at Moonlight

The captain told of all the orders he had given in the name of his youthful master and his work met with the approval of Surrey, who said at the end of the recital:
 .'I believe you come to attend me back to Hampton Court But l shall not be ready to go for an hour yet. Meantime I will take a stroll in the Home Park.
 "What, to seek an inspiration for a song? But l will not question you too shrewdly. Only let me caution you not to go near Herne's Oak. It is said that a , demon hunter walks the forest glades at night and seares all who see him if he does not work them harm.
 Beware, my lord, of Herne the hunter , l, with your attendants, will leave the castle at curfew and meet you at the Garter, in Thames street" -- The earl laughed at the warning against the demon hunter and strolled forth into E the moonlit, grassy glades of the Home park He plunged into the wood and striking footpath, soon reached the deepest part of 1t.

Verses to the Fair Geraldine

As he moved along the sound or voices chanting vespers arose from St. Georges chapel and, taking a set of tablets from his pocket. the young man began to write rapidly.
 All who have read of the loves of Sur rey and the fair Geraldine, all who have read the exquisite verses of that enam- ored youth, can imagine what he was writing-a sonnet to the mistress of his heart.
 So at once knew Captain Boucher, who, emerging from door in the tower, cried out:
 "What ho, my Lord of Surrey, an other poem to celebrate the charms of the Lady Elizabeth F'itz-Gerald? You will rival Master Sketon or Sir Thomas Wyatt ere long But please you quit the muses for a time and I will inform you what l have done in your name for the re- ception at the castle tomorrow of his majesty"
 And also" replied Surrey with a sig nificant smile, flor my fair cousin, Mis- tress Anne Boleyn, and for the Pope 5 legate, Cardinal Campeggi and for Car dinal Wolsey?'

In the Prison Tower

One night as Surrey sat boring over his books in his prison tower-it was the third night after his imprisonment-h suddenly saw stanuing before him Herne the Hunter
 As much by his Knowledge of the se- cret ways and stairs of the castle as by the supernatural powers ascribed to him. Herne seemed to be able at all times 70 penetrate into any chamber or part of Windsor.
 Who art thou? demanded Surrey, when he had recovered from his astonish- ment
 "A friend come to llberate you," re piled Herne.
 q recognize you, demon." cried Surrey, you tempt in vain''
 You must join me, replied Herne, Sir Thomas Wyatt is now one of my band"
 You lie. false fiend," cried Surrey. Sir Thomas Wyatt is in France.'
 ''lt is you who lies, my lord. Sir Thomas is now in the Home Park. You shall see him in few minutes if yor will come with me-

In the Train of Anne Boleyn

It was in great state that Henry ar rived at Windsor and it was almost as great state that Anne Boleyn and her father, now advanced to the title of Lord Rockford, arrived
 The Queens apartments had been pre- pared for the fair Anne, whom the King advanced to the Countess of Pembroke.
 Surrey, by a forced march, had ar rived at Hampton Court in time to form one of the royal escort from there to Windsor, For was not the fair Geral- dine in the train of her whom the King delighted 10 honor.
 Aye, the finest, most nobly born and the most virtuous damsels in all Eng land had been ordered by the royal tyrant to attend Sir Thomas Boleyn's daughter to the Castle of Windsor.
 Among tho supporters of the canopy which was carried over the Lady Anne's litter-all knights of ancient lineage-was one to whom she often turned her eyes and whose eyes were seldom removed from the lovely creature over whose head he assisted in holding the canopy.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-17
The Penalty of Disrespect

Here an altercation was heard inside the hostel and the two men came out One was an archer dressed in green and the other stalwart young butcher dress ed in a eathern doublet, his arms bare to the shoulders. Mark Fytton was the butchers name and Captain Barlow of the Archers was the other.
 He hath spoken disrespectfuly of the Lady Anne Boeyn," cried the archer; "of the King and of the Cardinal
 Well, well, he knows not what he says; my strong ale; my strong ale! Come Mark, pledge me cup to our King, Bluff Harry
 Neither to King Harry nor to his minion, Anne Boleyn," cried the butcher.
 Surrey went on his way with his ret inue: it was reported to the King-who arrived early the next day at the castle that Mark Fytton, the town butcher, had spoken disrespectfully of Lady Anne Boleyn and few hours after. the body of the rash man was hanging from a beam thrust out of the highest window of the CurfeW Tower

The Kings New Love

It was Sir Thomas Wyatt, the man she loved and who as truly loved her. But in Anne ambition was more potent than love and, as she cast her eyes up to the castle and then back to Sir Thomas, she made her choice.
 It was a delicate little attention of Henry's that the body of the butcher, Mark Fytton. should be hanging from the curfew tower to welcome the Kings new love to Windsor Castle.
 That night at the banquet the King said to the papal delegate who sat upon his right: Come, my lord legate, we will drink to our future queen"-and then to the Earl of Surrey. who officat- ed as cup bearer-'What hol wine"
 Your highness is not yet divorced from the present consort," replied Campeggio q should prefer to drink the health of Catherine of Aragon."
 Well, I will not constran you," retorted the King, and lifted his cup to where Anne was smiling from the balcony.
 Would it were poisonn' muttered Sir Thomas Wat.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-17
Three Years in Wait

It was Herne who, representing himself as a messenger from Surrey, had guided the fair Geraldine to the arbor-it was Herne who had arranged the meeting and though both were disturbed at the manner in which their meeting had been brought about they looked upon each other with the rapture of long parted lovers.
 But this meeting must be our last" said the Lady Elizabeth. The king, through the Lady Anne Boleyn. has posi- lively enjoined me to think no more of you and has given your father, the duke, to understand that your marriage without the royal consent will be attended with the loss of all the favor he now enjoys
 T will never submit to such tyranny cried Surrey.
 In spite of Surreys wild protestations the Lady Elizabeth pointed out to him that their youth and the great power of the king rendered their union at present impossible. At length they agreed that for three years they would love and wait.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-17
The Queens Rival

For some time previous to this dat Anne Boleyn had noticed a growing cold ness toward her on the part of the king.
 Though Anne had never really loved hel royal consort, and though at this ver! time she was secretly encouraging the rel gards of another she felt troubled by chi, change and watched all the kings move ments with jealous anxiety to ascertain i any one had supplanted her in his affecI tions.
 At last her vigilance was rewarded b, discovering rival in one of her own at. tendants, Jane Seymour, daughter of Sir John Seymour of Wolff Hall in Wiltshire
 Still Anne dared not openly to interfere though she gave Jane Seymour to under stand that she knew which way the wind was setting. Things were in this state when the court, as before stated, pro. ceeded to Windsor upon St. Georges day
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-17
Prophecy for the King

Henry grasped the handle of his sword and partly drew it.
 You thought to get rid of me, Henry of England" cried Herne, but were you to lay the weight of this vast fabric upon me l would break from under it.
 What wouldst thou, internal spirit?'' cried Henry.
 q am come" replied Herne, Ito keep company with you, Harry. This is night, when only thou and I should be abroad.
 "Avaunt, fiend, back to thy native hellH'
 You have no power over me" retorted Herne. flor your thoughts are evil. Be fore the commission of any great crime and many great crimes will you commit will appear to you. And my last appear ance will be three days before your end.
 Harry of England, thou fierce and bloody king, you shall be drunk with the blood of your wives and your end shall be a fearful one. A mass of breathing corruption shalt thou become.
 There came another terrific crash of thunder and a vivid flash of lightning and the fiend was gone.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-17
Herne,s Followers Revolt.

It was not known to the astonished party-but it was fact--that the fire and the explosion was due to the efforts of a couple of Herne's followers who, becom- ing tired of his tyranny, had sprinkled powder in circle around the oak and connected it by train with the powder magazine which Herne had concealed in the cave beneath
 To the awe stricken party from the castle the fire seemed to be of super natural origin.
 But the king said: If this mysterious being is mortal he must have perished; if he is not 1t is useless to seek him further.
 Dawn was breaking when the flames died down and the party sought the castle whose towers were just beginning to be touched with the fire of the rising beams.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-17
At the Masked Ball

On the day after the solemnization os the feast a masked ball was given in the castle. Two maskers were conversing to- sether in whispers. One was Anne Boleyn and the other her lover Sir Henry Norris
 A tall man, dressed as a monk. the lower half of whose face was untitled, leaving visible only pair of fierce eyes, touched Sir Henry on the shoulder and said:
 T know what you want, Sir Henry Nos- ris--you want to give the queen proof of her royal lords inconsistency. It is easily donc-follow me-"
 Who are you?' cried Norris, appalled, by the weird look of the being who ad- dressed him.
 Tt matters not-follow me- It was, in fact, Herne the Hunter, and he guided Anne and Sir Henry to where in chamber a. little apart from the ball. room, Henry was pouring forth vows ot love to Jane Seymour
