The End and the Beginning.
When MurrelI was brought to trial

host OF witnesses whose sworn testi-
mony showed that so simple thing
as perjury had no terrors for them
HIS fight for liberty was waged IN and
out OF court with incredible bitter

the relatively light sentence OF Twelve
years Imprisonment: he died, how
ever, before the expiration OF his
term

Raleigh, resumed his own rame OF

One OF his first acts after taking
possession OF the property was to

shaken by his emotions, saw the
massive boulder go into place.

of him who lies beneath it-but en-

He turned to Yancy and Hannibal. and
added: You viii lay me beside him

Then when the bitter struggle came
and he was wrenched and tortured by
longings. his strength was in remem-
bering his promise to the dead man.
and 1t was his custom TO go out under
the oaks and pace to and fro beside
Mahafy's grave until he had gained

conflict was he waged, yet in the end
he won that best earned OF all vic

1t was Hannibars privilege to give
Cavendish out OF the vast Quintard

dreamed of owning even in his most
fervid moments OF imagining; and he
abandoned all idea of going to Eng

suggestion he named the place Earls

never ceased to congratulate them
