as long as they lived-"conduct," re-
marks the biographer, Strickland, (which
naturally induces the suspicion that
secrets of great moment had been con-
fided to him-secrets that probably would
have touched not only the maiden name
of his royal mistress. but placed her life
In Jeopardy, and that he had preserved
these inviolate. The same may be sup
posed with respect to Mrs. Ashley, to
whom Elizabeth clung with mistaken
tenacity through every storm" After
succeeding TO the throne, Elizabeth
knighted Parry. During Mrs. Ashleys
last illness she was honored by personal
attentions from the Queen, who mourned
her old nurse with deep grief.
What was this secret which Elizabeth
guarded so closely, and which seems to
have been shared by these two func-
tionaries of the royal household? Only
within the last decade has an answer of
any definiteness ever been ventured by
an authority reaching the world at large.
Upon the eastern slope of Cotswold
Hills, in Gloucestershire. lies hidden the
ancient village of Bisley. at whose manor
house, Overcourt. Elizabeth was isolated
in charge of Mrs. Ashley during a pesti-
lence which threatened London when
the young Princess was a child of IL.
The author, Bran Stoker, some time ago,
visited Bisley, and uncovered this tradl-
tion: During the child Elizabeth's stay
in the village she died of a sudden ILL
ness upon the eve OF n visit from her
father, Henry VIII. In terror. Mrs. Ash
ley placed the Princess body in stone
tomb. and secured the country round for
a child resembling Elizabeth sufficiently
well to allow a substitution that would
deceive the King, who had never taken
the trouble to acquaint himself very
famiIiarly with his fair-haired daughter.
Unable TO find a girl bearing sufficient
likeness, the nurse discovered boy OF
the name of Neville, strikingly like Eliza
beth in appearance. This lad was
dressed in the Princess clothes, and mas
uueraded as the royal child thenceforth
through the career of the parsonage
known in history as Queen Elizabeth
According TO this tradition, all persons
learning the secret. except Mrs. Ashley
and Thomas Parry. were gotten rid Of"
Some years ago, when stone tomp
upon the estate of Oyercourt was opened
the bones of the young girl were found
therein lying among remnants OF costly
clothing Mr.. Stoker has suggested pht
the boy, masquerading as the royal
princess and later as Queen Elizabeth
was son born at an inopportune time to
Henry Wits natural son, the Duke OF
Richmond, and Mary Howard, whom he
married.
Whether or not these traditions and
speculations have any foundation IN
fact, the world may never know, and
probably the deep secret Of Queen Eliza
beth win remain unanswered until the
end OF time.

THE SECRET OF QUEEN ELIZABETH
The Mystery of Refusal to Marr-A Tradition That the
Woman Who Reigned in Her Name Was Not the
Daughter of Henry VIII
By JOHN ELFRETH WATKINS


TOCKED in the depths of Queen Eliza
i 4 beth's heart was secret that
no one could ever fathom. Various plos-
raphers have remarked upon her Sc
cretiveness, and upon the fact that she
took very few people into her confidence
She never married. Those who have
written her history have expressed their
amazement at her attitude toward men,
At various times she averred that she
would never marry. When only 10, ana
while being ardently courted by the LORD
Admiral Seymour (who later welded her
stepmother, Queen Catherine Parr she
wrote to that suitor letter, In whlch
she stated in regard to the possibility OF
her future marriage: g" II ever l
should think of it (Which 1 do not be-
level. YOU would be the first to whom
I should make known my resolution"
When she was 23, Giovanni Michel the
Venetian Ambassador, wrote of her to
the Doge of Venice: "She, I understand
having plainly said that she will not
marry, even were they to give her the
Kings" philip of Spain's) "son, or find
any other great prince, l again respect
fully remind your serenity to enjoin
secrecy about this"
She would not allow doctors to ex-
anime her even when she was ill., She
looked upon them as a source of dan
ger.
Her masculinity was a subject of COM
ment. "The constitution of her mind is
exempt from female weakness, and she Is
endued with an excellent power of appli-
cation" her tutor, Roger Ascham, wrote
of her in a letter to the rector OF Stras'
bourg University when she was II. "In
the whole manner of her life" added
Ascham, "she rather resembles Hip
poIyta" Queen of the Amazons) than
Phaedra" who was wont to love not
wisely, but too welD.
She carried about with her a stock
of wigs-"no less than so of various col
ors." She bore no resemblance to her
mother Anne Boleyn, but was said by
some biographers TO favor her father,
King Henry VIII.
The only persons who seemed to en-
10y her confidence were her childhood
nurse, Mrs. Ashley, and the Kings
cofferer, or steward. Thomas Parry.
When Elizabeth was only Is, Sir Robert
Tyrwhit, the great English critic, wrote
of her to Protector Somerset: II do
verify believe that there hath been some
secret promise between my lady, Mistress
Ashley and the cofferer never to con-
fess to death, and If it be so, 1t viii
never be gotten unless by the Kings
Majesty. or else by your Grace" These
two attaches of the royal household were
the only persons in whom she was ever
known to confide. To the end of her
days she was loyal to both Of them. On
her accession to the throne, she ap-
pointed Parry Controller Of the Royal
Household. She continued to shower
honors upon both him and his daughter

Abroad upon the fields and down the lane,
Through all the forests of unflowered trees,
Monotonously murmuring, complain
Murmuring monotonous, with wildng wings
That bear no blossomy burden nightly

For all their laborlng, but idle things,
But builders of q barren honeycomb.
Thus is II now the summer of my dreams
When falls no drop of rain or quickening

There are but sands where late were sing

And dusty baroness where the sweet
thyme grew:
The bees Of all my thoughts are idle long
There is no honey in the hive of song.
