IN DAYS OF OLD

How often have l shut my book
and pondered with a far-off look
about the days of yore. "Ah me-"
l sigh, "them were the days, those
times of love and knightly ways and
glorious feats of war How near
that poor unlucky could not have
lived in days gone by and been war
rior bold, how skillfully I'd use my
lance, how haughtily I'd throw my
glance, how generously my gold"
But when | think a second time, /
undergo a change of mind, perhaps
these times are best. They could not
Il be mobiles fine in that romantic
novel time, there had to be some
goats. While Knights were having
glorious sport / might have mopped
he knightly court or fed the mules
their oats. Instead of strutting round

might have sawed the mobiles wood

pushed the babies carts or held the
ladies train. might have been the

Oh yes, it's best to have less rank
and have more faith in the town bank
and trust to modern ways than dream
of days when only one in tens of

Everyday History
BY Mel Graham
KIDNAPPING A QUEEN

Fiction can boast of no more thrill
ing history than the actual facts in
the life of Mary Stuart. This beauti7
full and accomplished woman, brought
up in the gay court of France, was
i'll suited to the dreamy life of the
Scotch court, of which country she be-;
came queen. Her husband, Darnley,
was a good-for-nothing courtier and
the queen turned for advice in mat
ters of state to her minister, Rizzio.
Oarnley, jealous Of the influence of
the foreigner was obtaining over the
queen, murdered Rizzio. Mary, now
more than ever Disguised with her
husband, fell in love with the proud
Earl Of Boutwell,. Whether or nos
Mary was a party to the crime is not
known, but Darnley was murdered
and public Indignation ran high
against the queen. Both she and
Boutwell, were determined to be mar
ried and the kidnapping of the queen
resulted. While in Bothwell's pow
er, Queen Mary married him presum,
abl without much protest on her
part. The tragic story of Mary's
reign closed with her forced abdica4
ton from the Scotch throne.

'But Randolph will do that as soon
as he wins his mother over. He says
she is terribly proud and is anxious
that he marry society girl. / won't
listen to another word against Ran
dolph. You are jealous and hate to
see me get along"
"You know that is not so, Dot. You
are one Of my best friends and | am
thinking only of your own good"
"Then why did you try to pair me
off with Tom Waters, when you know
the bulldog shaped shoes he wears
gets on my nerves?"
"What's the use," said Lucy with
a sigh.
Her attention was attracted to a
tall, clean-cut neatly but inexpensive
~ dressed young man. AS his glance
fell upon Lucy an affection, pure and
deep, beamed upon his face.
"Got some good news" he said to
Lucy. II can give you real treat
that won't take anything away from
our savings. The chief gave me three
tickets he can't use for the theater
tonight. Won't you go?"
That evening Lucy with her beau
and her friend, Dot were ushered in
to parquet seats. The orchestra was
playing the overture when there wal
stir in the box just above them,
Several exquisite girls in gossamer
evening gowns were escourted by sew
eral young men in regulation even
ing toys.
"Look, Lucy, there is Randolph"
Dot was saying eagerly, isn't he
handsome? He has it all over the
rest of them. Just wait until he sees
ne. AS soon as he does he will leave
those queens to come to speak to me-"
But Dot reckoned with the snob-
berry of the social set. The play float
ID in the background like distant
vision, for her glance wavered con-
.inually toward the box in her effort
70 attract Randolph's attention. He
looked toward her, over her but never
once at her so that nod of recog-
milton would be necessary.
AS the trio sat over their chocolate
ice cream sodas at a neighboring drug
store, Dorothy said, 81 suppose you
are right, Lucy. Tom Waters is 6
good sort. After all bull-dog-shape6
hoes are not crime but matter Of
.aste. Eddie, will you arrange a
foursome for one night next week."
