Moore was met by his daughter, Mar
garet Roper. As her father was led
up the slippery steps at midnight, she
broke through the guards, and, fling
ing her arms about his neck, begged
for his blessing. 1t was up these
steps, too, that the Duke Of Bucking-
ham came, followed by the Sergeant
Warder with the AK reversed.
Horrible, indeed, are the memories
of Londons famous Tower! At pres

scum for armor and safe vault of

many of them giving little thought TO
the dreadful scenes which have been
enacted within its walls. II is still
under the care OF the Beef Eaters"
as the Yeomen of the Guard are
known. The chief official is the Con
stable Of the Tower, and in the oiden
days he was supreme within the pre-
cincts OF the Tower. The official tor
turers and executioners did not reside
at the prison, but came only when
sent for by the Constable.
The last captive left the Tower n
1920, and since that time not single
man, woman or child has entered
there as a prisoner. Today the Beef
Eaters and the tourists hold sway,
and so long as the Tower stands just
so long will 1t fascinate the lover of
history. Grim and gruesome are it's
great towers and it's battlemented
walls, but like the dragon of our
childhood stories it has ceased to ter
rify us, and we linger around the
courtyard watching the BeefEaters as
they move from tower to tower, and
listen to the thoughtless chatter Of
the crowds of sightseers

Grey was imprisoned both in the
Brick and Beauchamp Towers, as was
her husband, Lord Guilford Dudley.
The Duke of Clarence was drowned
while a prisoner in the Bowyer Tow
er, and Henry VI is said to have been
murdered in the Wakefield Tower
The Beauchamp Tower was built
Ivy Edward III, and is perhaps the
most interesting of all these pri0ons.

but who was eventually reinstated in
his honors by Henry ". 1t was used
at a prison as early as 1852, and has
been the cell room of scores of peo-
pie we'll known in history. Many of
these unfortunates have carved their
names on its stone walls, and these
inscriptions are a study in them
selves. Over the fireplace is one
an autograph of Lord Arundel, dated
June %, 1887. This distinguished
man was tried at Westminster and
imprisoned for many years, his crime
being an expression of Joy on hear
ing that the Spanish Armada had set
sail for England. On the opposite
wall is the word Jane This is SUP.
posed to refer to Lady Jane Grey
and to have been cut there by her
husband, Lord Guilford Dudley. An
other interesting inscription is in the
form of an oak tree, with the initials
r d. beneath it, This is the work
of Robert Dudley, the favorite OF
Elizabeth Nearly one hundred Gu
rious inscriptions are to be found on
the walls, each one telling the story
in few words of the hopeless cap
tivity which in nearly every instance
ended on the block-pathetic words
cut in stone by men and women who
in nearly every case were absolutely
innocent of the crime with which
they were charged.
The Wakefield Tower is now used
as a vault for the Crown jewels, and
here one is sure to find numbers of
American tourists. The Eegaia and
Jewels are displayed in barbaric mag
nificence There is the Cullinan Dia-
mond, the Imperial Crown, with its
mass of purest gems, St Edwards
crown, with the magnificent sapphire,
and the huge ruby, said to have been
presented by Peter, King of CASTLE
to Edward the Black Prince. All the
swords, sceptres, orbs etc, used at the
coronation of England's monarchs are
on exhibition. While the place has al,
ways been well guarded, it is well
known that at the time of the Resto
ration an English army man by the
name of Blood attempted to steal the
Imperial Crown, and actually reached
the stairway of the Tower before he
was discovered. In 1912 woman
thrust her arms between the bars and
tore the crown in several places.

The Tower, which stands on the
banks of the Thames, was at one
time an ancient fortress. Its present
external appearance is very unlike

of the same age has undergone such

which was drained about seventy
years ago. The plan is in the form
of an irregular pentagon, the whole
fortress covering about thirteen acres.
The Tower originated with William
the Conqueror, and the Oldest part OF

as thumb-screws, stocks, etc. The
thickness of the walls made it impos-

next cell to hear the cries Of the poor
creatures who went into this awful
chamber. The general public is ex-
cluded from this section of the Tow
er, but it can be visited by getting
special permit from the Constable of
the Tower.
The upper rooms in White Tower
are at present used for housing a col
lection Of old mountaineering rel
les showing the armor used at diff
ferent periods throughout Europe.
The finest suit in the collection is one
made by Sasenhofer at Augsburg and
presented in 1914 by the Emperor
Macmillan to Henry VIII On the
horse armor are panels with scenes
from the life of St. George, while
roses and pomegranates, emblems Of
Henry and Katherine of Aragon, are
used extensively in the decorations.
There is another suit of magnificent
armor also belonging to Henry VIII
which is dasmascined with gold. The
splendid horse armor used by Robert
Dudley, the Earl Of Leicester, is also
shown. There is a unique mounted
frura Ct James II showing the equip
ment of that period from iack-boots
to the lace scarf In what is known
as the Banqueting Hall one finds the
cloak which General Wolf wore when
he died at the Battle of Quebec, and
the coronation robes used by the late
King Edward VII and Queen AleXan-
dra. At the far end of the room a
few instruments Of torture are dis
played, and the actual block and axe
which were used at the last execu-
tion-that of Lord Lovat, who, with
several co-conspirators, was decapi-
tated for participation in the Jacobite
Rebellion in 1745 In another room
there is an interesting equestrian fig,
IRE of Queen Elizabeth on her way
to st. Paul's to give thanks for the
destruction Of the Spanish Armada.

interesting in a way, is depressing
