BY ALEXANDRA DUMAS
Condensation by
Capt Andre Morize
Condensation by
Capt Andre Morize

Throughout his life, Alexandra Dumas
had all the Needless irresponsibility OF
a reckless boy. He did not indulge In
reveries about the past or dreams of
the future. He lived spectacularly fin
the present.
His heedlessness was most empha-
sized at his paIatial home, Monte
CrfstO, where his love for splendor and
his prodigality plunged him into debt
sibIy for an hour and remained for
days, were penniless men and women
who were glad enough to find a place
where they could live luxuriously for
nothing.
Many OF these thriftIess folk made
Monte CristO their home. Dumas had
not the heart to turn them away; he
even invented tasks so they would not
feel unhappy about staying. One home
less vagabond who had a sense OF
shame was appeased by being told to
note down each day what the ther-
mometer registered. "It is most i'm
pOrtant for me to be well informed
ON this point" Dumas assured him.
Worst of all were the actresses. A
succession of them came. and went
each ruling the house while she re-
manned and inviting all her friends to
reveI with her. Sometimes Dumas, I'm
despair over his debts, went away, but
the hangers-0n remained, charging food
and wine to Dumas account at a near
by hotel.

the official Betrothal Book at Leyden
which relate to the Pilgrim fathers.
These are Of real historic value, be-
cause they supply legal particulars re-
specting the betrothals and marriages.
First there is the date of the betrothal
and later of the marriage itself and
the names of the officiating magis-
trates''
A document relating to William
Bradford was also found by the Ley
den professor, and these three created
sensation among those who had
gathered at .Leyden this summer to
pay their tributes to the founders. In
the Boston Transcript, George III. Sar-
gent presents TRANSACTIONS of these
documents made by A. j. #. Van Laer,
state archivist of New York, and aul-
thority on Dutch notarial documents.
The task of translation was not easy,
as it is said:
.The document which bears the
Robinson signature is an acknowleg-
ment of Indebtedness, given by Brewer
Robinson, and Jepson in behalf of
Seigneur Jehan de Lalaing for the sum
of seven hundred and forty-four gull
ders, thirteen stivers, and three pence
on account of several years accumu-
lated interest, the last due on May
day. 1921. The three subscribers
promise to pay this on May day, 1921,
without further delay, this agreement
being drawn up by the notary and
signed on January 2, 1921, at his office
on the Breestraat in the presence of
the notary's clerk, Jan Jacobsz. van
Tethrode and Willem Cornelisz Ket,
a farm-or buryman' Of the manor of
Rijinsburch. :"
The late George Frisbie Hoar,
United States Senator from Massa-
chusetts and a descendant of Roger
Sherman, a signer of the Declaration
of independence, tells in his Auto
biography of Seventy Years" (19O3)
how he recovered the history by Will
liam Bradford, the second governor,
containing the Mayf1ower Compact.
Just how it got to England nobody
knows but for more than a century
it had reposed in the library of the
! bishop of London at Fulham palace.
Senator Hoar armed himself with let
| tiers of introduction in 1896 and made
respectful demand on DR.. Temple,
| then bishop of London.
DIR. Temple agreed that the precious
manuscript ought to be restored to
American custody, but suggested that
the request should be referred to the
Archbishop of Canterbury and Queen
/ Victoria. So Senator Hear returned to
America and inspired the drafting of
a formal request for the return of the
manuscript in the name of the
antiquarian and historical societies.
DR.. Temple had in the meantime be-
come Archbishop CT Canterbury and
] gave his assistance, with the result
| that the precious manuscript now re-
poses in the library of the state house
Of Massachusetts.

The upper signature is given by Or.
III. M. Dexter in "Congregationalism

tuition to have belonged to him. This
book is a pamphlet, "a Persuasion to

ably by the same hand as the lower

Charles Deane of Cambridge. 1t was
supposed that John Robinson once

1.-THE Leyden deed signed by John
Robinson, of whose autograph DR..
Eekhof is assured, refers to debt
acknowledged by Robinson, Thomas
Brewer, and William Jepson-the lat
ter being also well-known members of
the Pilgrim community. Brewer pos
sessed money and position, and, jointly
with another, set up printing press
in Leyden. Jepson is described as a
carpenter and merchant. They cove
nanted to pay seven hundred and forty
four guilders by a certain date. A
later entry confirms the fact that the

mentioned. In the second document,
dated a week before the Pilgrim
| fathers left Holland in the Speedwell,
William Bradford authorized two of
his friends who remained behind to
collect one hundred 'carolus guilders
which were owing to him as mort
gage by Leyden citizen.
"Dr. Eekhof's discovery also dis
