Her Wedding Day

She met Ellen and returned with her to the latters home in Nottingham, where. after supplying Marian with proper fe- male attire, she introduced her as q friend of hers whom she had engaged as a companion
 Now that Ellen had assurance from Marian that Robin would prevent, in some way, her marriage with the rich baron, she was. apparently. more complaisant to the wishes of her parents and so they humored her by letting her harbor Ma rian. If she would only marry the rich

A Boon for Each

Then they went at it with their swords and fought until Robin began to get exhausted. "A boon cried Robin.
 The friar lowered his sword and said granted" Robin put his bugle horn to his lips and blew three blasts upon It Presently. in response to the bugle call there came trooping over the lea Little John and 50 other merrymen, al dressed in Lnicoln green
 Whose men are these?" asked tho astonished friar.
 They are my men," replied Robin.
 Then beg a boon." said the friar
 Granted" said Robin. The friar put his fingers to his mouth and whistled three times Then, sud denly, there bounded over the grass 51 great dogs.
 "fIow," cried the friar. there is foi every man dog, save for thee friend
 Two of the dogs leaped upon Robin and tore his mantle of Lincoln greer from his shoulders. But Little John and the others beat back the dogs shooting several of them with their ar rows, until the friar called the great animals off and begged that the merry men shoot no more. Your master and l will agree. warrant" said he.

John Little and Little John

Robin explained what had happened and his merry men wanted to seize the stranger. But Robin said NO, no; 1t was a fair fight. My friend, no harm shall come to you. These are my men, free rangers Of the greenwood. Here we fear neither tyranny TOT poverty. If you like you shall be one of us. What you say-will you join our band ?'
 That 1 will with all my heart" re- piled the stranger. for, If 1 mistake not, you must be Robin Hood of whom fame speaks as the enemy of the rich and the powerful and the friend of the poor and oppressed. My name is John Little"
 John Little,' cried one oi the band. why he is nearly seven fer. in height. He shall be called Little John.''
 And Little John he was from that day forth and Robin made him lieutenant of his band And Little John was fast and faithful to Robin through until the death of his chief from that day.
 But they were both, apparently, rather 'topinionated" and used to have rows and ructions'' every now and then-quarrels which left no bitterness behind them.

Alan-a-Dale

As Robin and Marian were walking through a glade they came upon a young man who seemed to be in great trouble. He had a harp slung across his shoulders and was by appearance q wandering minstrel
 Who are you, sad youth?" asked Robin.
 The stranger told him that his name was Alan-a-Dale and that he was in grief be- cause of his love for a Saxon maiden named Ellen, whose father wished her to marry rich noble in Nottingham. Alan was too poor to think of marrying any way-but he did love Ellen.
 Robin declared that he would help Alan to his beloved and that, in return, Ell len should receive into her house, as a friend and companion. Maid Marian un- til such time as Robin and she were married.
 Marian blushed-protested-an consent ed. Alan was willing to agree to any thing. So Marian disguised as wan dering minstrel, went to a fair. which was to be held in the neighborhood of Nottingham. at which fair Alan knew Ellen was to be present.

Sir Richard-of-the-Lee

At last they saw coming riding down a dejected-looking knight. One foot was in the stirrup and the other out.
 The yeoman approached couteously and Little John said, Our master has waited dinner for yoV these three hours"
 'Who is your master?"
 Robin Hood."
 He is a good yeoman of whom l have heard much said in praise. l consent to go with your to your mas ter"
 When they brought him to where Robin waited the outlaw greeted him courteously and they all sat down to woodland feast-venison, water fowl, pheasant with wine and bread in plenty.
 'Gramercy.'' said the night. when the meal was over, such fair feast l have not had for many day. l am Sir Richard -of-the-Lee, and if you ever come the way by my castle l trust to give you as good a feast"

Robin Falls in Love

If the traveller was poor Robin in- vited him to dinner and let him go even lending him money if he was in dire need But to theArich he showed no mercy.
 Cases of necessity in the villages which fringed the forest did he also relieve and many luxury did he im- port into the forest by means of hls appropriated" wealth.
 The sheriff of Nottingham became frantic and swore that he would get Robin alive or dead. Great rewards were offered for him and Robin and his men had to be wary.
 And now strange thing happened to Robin. At least, it seemed strange to him, though it has happened to almost every man of woman born-he fell in lovel
 She lived with her father and mother on little farm just at the verge of the woods, and was fond of woodland sports She could shoot with her ar rows a running deer or flying bird, and her mother had taught her much about the medicinal value of woodland herbs and how to dress wounds.

Friar Tuck a Recruit

Good friar" said Robin If you will leave Fountains Dale and come with us you shall be our chaplain and fol your fee shall have a noble every Sun day as well as free living"
 They talked the matter over and the proposition seemed to jump with tho fancy of the stalwart churchman, who accepted the call"
 Thus was the renowned Friar Tuck introduced into the band of Robin Hood who built for him E little her mitege and chapel far within the re- cesses of the woods at place called Copmanhurst
 It must not be supposed that Robin had collected his band of merrymen and had done the deeds he had with

Pard0ned by the King

They took the King and his men to . glade and right royalty did they feast them. The King had no suspicion that Robin knew who he was.
 But at the end of the feast Robin and all his men sank upon their knees, while the chief a,.ewed that he knew only too well that he vas in the presence of King Richard-and craved his pardon for him- self and his men.
 The King granted it, and he and his attendants attired themselves in suih. of Lincoln green. which Robin furnished them, stayed night in the forest Nnd hunted day. Then the whole outfit rode back to Nottingham.
 The King took Robp and his men inlo his service-he pardoned Sir Richard -of- the-Lee and he dismissed the sheriff of Nottingham from his office. Robin was made Earl of Huntington-some legends say he had right to that title anyway and Marian became Lady Huntington.

To Pay off the Mortgage

Pass the wine around" said Robin, and bring out my treasure, also clothing of scarlet and green. l will lend you Sir Knight, enough money to pay off your mortgage, and you shall repay me in a year from today. Also you must attire yourself more gayly. Here are many sorts of fine clothing at your service"
 So Robin fitted out the knight and supplied him with money and sent him on his way rejoicing. Also he detailed Little John to attend the knight to Nottingham in the capacity of esquire, for, said he, fit is a shame that a knight should go unattended" So the knight and Little John went to Nottingham and the knight dis charged his debt--much to the disgust of the rapacious syndicate who had hoped to get his broad lands for a song
 The sheriff. one of the syndicate. was much pleased with the way Little John attended to his duties as esquire to the knight and offered to take him into his own service. John accepted the prof fered situation. and said to himself: T shall prove the shrewdest servant he ever had"

 when they had eaten they swore fealty to each other and broke open the sheriff's chest. from which they took over f300 beside much silver plate. After that they went merrily to Sher- wood. where Robin received them right gladly.
 What news from Nottingham" was the first question Robin asked; and who Is that stout yeoman you have brought with your"
 "The sheriff of Nottingham" returned Little John, "greets you well and. as a token of your regard, has sent his cook to you together with 1900 and all this silver"
 By my faith" cried Robin. 'it was never by his good will that all this came to me-"
 Then Little John told him the whole story and after a feast and hearty laugh at the expense the sheriff the cook was made free of the bold band of outlaws.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-07-28

Little John and Much appeared to re- joice that, at last, the bold outlaw was laid by the heels and offered to guide the messenger on his way.
 When they had lured him into the depths of the forest they revealed them selves in their true light--and as the mes- senger and the page who was with him showed fight they dispatched them both and took their documents.
 John and Much put on their best clothes and made all haste to the city, where the King held his court. They kneeled before the King and presented the letters of the sheriff which they had taken from his messenger.

False Messengers

Robins men were anxious at his fail- ure to return to the greenwood, and Lit tie John and Much went out toward the city to reconnoiter.
 As they came near the verge of the forest they saw the sheriff's messenger
 approaching and accosted him, asking what news from the town?' The messenger replied exultingly that the famous outlaw, Robin Hood. had been captured by the sheriff of Noting ham. and that he, the messenger. was on his way to the King with the joy full news.
 The King lay at one of the Provin-
 cial cities, being then on a progress through the Kingdom.

 The day appointed for the marriage came and Ellen, decked as a bride, went fearfully to the church. She was fear ful that Robin would not be able to keep his promise.
 But Marian kept telling her that Robin Hood always did as he had agreed-he never failed in an extremity Thus en. couraged, Ellen walked into the great church with Marian by her side and her father and her mother and gay party of the Quality" following.

Beauiling the Sheriff

Then he set about thinking how he could beguile the sheriff. So, one We'd nesday, when the sherin had gone hunting, John, being hungry, went to the cook and asked for something to eat

 There was wrangle; John drew his sword and the cook snatched up an other lying right at hand. They fought for an hour and neither harmed the other.
 Then said John, pausing: "Beshrew me. but thou are the best swordsman ever saw and one of the stoutest fei- lows My name is not Greenleaf, as l told the sheriff, but I am Little John of the band of Robin Hood.

LIGHT VOTE
THIS FALL

As a result OF the labor troubles
in Ely there will be light vote
cast at that place. as 1t is conceded
that the strike will be of long dura-
ton. Already many miner and mill
men have left the place and will
seek employment elsewhere. 1t is
not probable that the labor troubles
will be riqhted before election.
In Storey County there will be a
falling off of votes. During the past
three months it is figured that al
least $50 men have left the camp.
This came about by the closing OF
several properties and the abandon,
ment Of the Ward Shaft From the
lack OF enthusiasm and the light res
istration light vote is figured over
the state. \ little over one-half OF
Ormsby's voters have registered up
to the present time and the election
only a month away.
