THE SCHOLAR AND THE SKULL.

Sarah MaXwell'S only claim to a
deathless renoWn rests upon the fact
that great man brought her to her
doom. and so the details of her life
story are meager, bur a few facts have
survived.
At the beginning of the seventeenth
century she was maid servant in the
home of a wealthy citizen of Hunting
dOnshire. She was unusually good
looking, and had some educational
rare thing for a handlnaiden in those
days--and was generally above her
station. In the employ of the same
family there was a middle-aged man
named Armstrong. He was rather un.
couth, with huge shock Of sOrrel
hair and little more is known Of
him, except that he was great ia
vorite with his master. Armstrong
saved his money q penny at time,
and as he approached the sere and yell
low leaf he found he had money enough
to buy an inn that was for sale. He
and Sarah We're married, and took
possession of the inn.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
influence of the master was brought
to bear to effect this marriage of
the servants, for it doesn't seem prob
able that Sarah would have chosen as
her husband a loutish man more than
twice her age. However that may be-,
the two settled down in their caravan
sary, and Sarah was greatly respected
and admired. Many young men made

Presidents of Railway Systems Havo
Not Solved Problem of 8-Hour
Day Favored by Wilson.

Washington.-Pre Of impor'
tant railway systems, who have been
designated to draft the railroads re-
ply to President Wilson's appeal that
they accept his plan for averting a ma
tion-wide strike, were in almost con-
tinuous session.
Although some of the 60 or more
presidents are showing disposition
to prolong the negotiations in the hope
that the sentiment of business men of
the country will be shown to be OPP
posed to the idea of an eight-hour
day, there was general feeling that
definite answer to President Will
sons demand cannot be much longer
postponed. The president is under
stood to have indicated that he de-
sired his proposal to be fully debated
by the executives, but their confer
ences among themselves have failed
so far to develop any concrete plan
likely to win approval.
