MIR. MARSH GIVES UP
 Here we came upon Mir. Marsh and Mrs. Marsh trying to entertain a group of friends. They had only oc- eupied the castle two days and a par donable strange feeling" was evident. They were disturbed and uneasy when our party of sightseers clumped into the great hall, our swishing feet only exceeded in racket by the strident voice of the guide lecturer. MT. Marsh was
 in a gray checkered suit. with tie of rich redness His men friends were in the English country gentleman regalia of baloonish knickerbockers and golf stockings.
 MT. Marsh scratched his ear and valiantly went on with his conversa- tion. Here we have the famous Guys porridge pot" declared the guide in stentorian tones indicating a great bell-metal cauldron that holds 120 gall lons He went on to explain it really was a garrison cooking pot for seeth- ing meat rations.
 MT. Marsh gave up. He walked up and down uncomfortably, and finally wandered over near our party where he sat down, evidently convinced that he had better listen to the lecturer , since no one but him could be heard. Tn this hall,' continued the guide, took place in 1912 the impressive trial l by torchlight of Piers Gaveston, no- | torious favorite of Edward II, who was sentenced to death here by a court composed of the earls of Warwick, Lan- caster, Gloucester, Hertford, Arundel and others"
 made a step aside to have a word with MT. Marsh. It would have been interesting to have heard his impress sions. I wanted to know if he was l going to buy the castle if the entail could be broken. I wanted to know If his tenancy extended to the gloomy dungeons under all the towers And how did it feel to sleep as master in such abode And did he enjoy his meals in the great dining hall with it's Geonese crystal chandelier and it's Van Dykes and Rubens and other ave- some treasures?
 Step back there" commanded the guide. "Visitors are not allowed to step on the carpet. Whats that? No, Marsh is not seeing public visitors"
 After a tour of the gardens and look at the Warwick vase"-one of the finest examples of Grecian art-we again crossed the moat back into the inner court just in time to see Mir Marsh and his party of friends leav- ing in two motor cars Did he seek the solitude of the woods that he could
