Windsor Castle.

Windsor castle is near the town OF
Windsor, in Berkshire, England, %
miles from London. Windsor is one of
the most ancient towns In England,
dating from the early middle ages. The
castle was erected by William the Con-
querOr. 1t was originally the site of
Roman settlement and has figured
in English history in many important
picturesque and tragic ways. Many Of
the kings of England are buried be-
meath the royal chapel at Windsor, in
Guiding King Edward VII, who was
buried there in May, 1910. The castle,
surrounded by spacious and magnifi-
cent grounds, has been the chief resi-
dence of English sovereigns for many
centuries.

were blissfully unaware of the real

reached one day when he encountered

alluded to the now hateful subject:

he gave them one of his characteristic
talkings-tO, ending with fat, an ultl-
matum, and bonus fortune thrown in
as bait. They were to marry within
the year. The first one doing so was
to receive an extra $4,000 to start out
with, the best equipped home that sum
could buy.
Just now the self-satisfied, light
hearted young men were far more en-
crossed in their game of poker than
in any serious thoughts as to their
marital future. The splendid machine
rolled on leisurely while they "fllled
their hands," rather captivated with |
the novel method of doing SO without
