DRAKE WORKER OF MIRACLES
Buccaneer Credited With Wondrous Power by Simple Country Folk
 of His Day.

The story of Elizabeth Sydenham, wife of Sir Francis Drake, that gay buccaneer of Elizabethan days, is parallel in many ways to the classic story of Penelope, wife of the Greek wanderer, Ulysses. Only the denoue- ment of the story differs from the an- cient tale. History says that Sir Fran ciS, although he roamed the seas, was the most faithful of husbands. Eliza beth, was his second wife.
 It was generally believed by the simple English country folk that Drake had the power of working miracles. On one occasion, it is said, when he left home to make one of his long and perilOus voyages, Sir Fran cis told his wife that if he did not re- turn within ten years she might con- slider him dead and herself at liberty to marry again.
 The years went by with no word from the absent knight, and as Lady Drake was a beautiful and charming, as well as wealthy, woman, she was soon besieged by suitors. For long time she remained steadfast to her husband. Like Penelope waiting at home for the warning Ulysses, she re- fused none, but accepted none. She kept them all in a perpetual state of hope.
 Finally, though, after good deal more than ten years had elapsed, and still there was no news of Sir Fran cis, Elizabeth succumbed to the im- portunities of one of the suitOrs, and all details for the wedding were ar ranged.
 And here is where the miracle came |, according to legends:
