they need another wage Garner more

Edouard Herriot, minister of public

such an expense represents a months

which was Raleigh's cell, and have a
little talk with him through the win
dow. She was afraid to order him
released just then on account of
there being a war with some other
country and Burlap being the only
man in the kingdom who had any
military ability.
"Well, the war kept going on and
Burlap kept winning victories and
making himself solid with the public,
so the queen was scared to let Raj
cigh out And by and by she got
scared that Burlap would catch her
in her secret trysts with him, so she
stayed at home in the palace and
cried her eyes out.
But she gave him ring the last
time she saw him, and told him that
if he got in any danger at any time
to send her the ring and she would
save him. One day Burlap, having
won a pretty big battle, and feeling
that he was just about strong enough
to propose to the queen and be king,
made Up his mind that if Raleigh
was killed her majesty would forget
him, on the principle of cut of sight
out of mind.
$50 he gave orders to the axe man
to take RALEIGH out and finish him
what he was told, but he had a
kindly feeling toward his prisoner on
account of Raleigh having taught him
to smoke and chew, so Ne tipped him
off to what was going on. Raleigh
naturally didn't want to have his
head chopped off, so he figured that
this would be pretty good time. to
send the ring to the queen, which he
did by the hands of a little nephew
of the axeman.
GAS soon as the queen got the ring
she put on her hat and coat, sneaked
out of the palace hoped into a boat
that was lying at a dock on the
Thames and roWed down to the
tower.
"She signalled to Raleigh, and he
tore up his doublet and made rope
of it, and let it down. She climbed
up, hand over hand, and while he
held her by the ruff she filed through
the bars, and they came down the
rope together.
"It was raining when they got to
the ground, and the queen stood a
chance of getting her feet wet on
the way back to the boat, but Raj
eigh, who was always a gentleman,
took off his coat and put it down on
the ground. Then when she had
walked over it dry shod he would
take it up and put it down ahead OF
her, and in that way they got to
the river and into the boat
"Just as they were rowing away
along came Burlap who had been
/ tipped off at the head Of an army,
but he never noticed the boat, and

contract secret, common law mar

A marriage thus contracted is under
