THE SCHOLAR AND THE SKULL.


Sarah Naxwells only claim to a
deathless renown restS upon the fact
that a great man brought her to her
doom, and so the details of her life
story are meager. but few facts have
survived.
At the beginning of the seventeenth
century she was a maid servant in the
home Of a wealthy citizeA of Hunting
donshire. She was unusually good
looking, and had some education-a
rare thing for a handmaieen in those
days-and was generally. above her
station. In the employ q the same
family there was middltaged man
named Armstrong. He was rather un-
couth, with a huge shock of sorrel
hair, and little more is Known of
him, except that he was great "a
vorite with his master. Armstrong
saved his money a penny alta time,
and as he approached the sere and yel-
low leaf he found he had money snough
to buy an inn that was for salS. He
and Sarah were married, and, took
possession of the inn.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
influence Of the master was brstght
to bear to effect this marriaUt of
the servants, for 1t doesn't seem rob
able that Sarah would have choseA as
her husband a loutish man more than
twice her age. However that may be,
the two settled down In their carann'
sary, and Sarah was greatly respeced
and admired. Many young men maAe

had to keep their distance. Then one
morning Mrs. Armstrong calmly In
formed the neighbors that her hus-
band had died during the night. he
had drunk himself into stupor before
retiring, she said, and died from the
effects of his debauch. That seemed
strange to some of the neighbors, for
Armstrong was known as an unusually
temperate man. There doubtless was
some malicious gossip. but the husband
was buried In the crowded churchyard.
Before he had been there, among the
rude forefathers of the hamlet, for "a
hours, the widow had married young
man named Maxwell. Then there was
