'Robin Hood" The Tale of Chivalry (Contluuod from first page) ilk?'?i gaiwwiU that Robin offered to o.st the man by challenging him to u ui>1. This he did, but Will whs right. ;.ibin discovered that the man was lis own noph&w, Will, whom he nick* autod ScarkR, and whom he had not eou since ho waa only a boy. Scarlet ,-anted to join Robin's band, uud tobln welcomed him Joyously." "At the chuneh that afternoon there l iv many men In Lincoln Green jnong the xueats. At the door a ragt.<l mlstrel stopped the sad young ride to whisker a word in her ear ,-fitch made her eyes ehine with Joy. i was Robin Hood. When the words d\ich would join the Uvea of the retty lass and the aged Raron were bmit to be spoken, Robin demanded hat the bride be given her pwn fioire of husbands, and of course she those Alan. Jolly Friar Tuok married lic.m then and there. After the wedi>1the young couple were taken to he Greenwood Tree for a groat banHe?." Hut things did not always happen s Robin wished. One fair day Scariit. Will and Little John lieard voices nd the sound of blows coming from nearby copse. A moment later an idd figure swaggered past them, a agged beggar with a laden sack on he end of a stick carried across his houider, and with three hats on his toad. At the sound of Robin's horn, jule John hurried to find him. He cturned to say that the beggar, liming Robin witliout his staff, had attacklim violently. They were to bring the >oggar back so that Robin might ncet him on a fair footing, with his nvfl stave in his hand. They dragthe beggar back, but he begged hereto let him go. If they would, be aid. he would give them a hundred outids which he had in his bag. They sked to see the hundred pounds. The >cggar put his sack on the ground, and igean to run his hands through the ncal it contained to reach the gold he aid was at the -bottom. When the liree men bent close to see if he realy would bring It up, the beggar threw iandfuls of meal up In their faces, ilinded and- half choked, they etaggerd about, sneezing and coughing, k-hile the tears ran from their smartng eyes, and while the beggar paddled hem soundly wit? his staff. When he lad gone, they found that Robin had men watching from behind a tree, ocklng with' mirth at their predicancut, which he had himself shared but few moments before. Soon they cere all laughing as merrily as Robin t the picture of three fearsome outaws outwitted by one clever beggar. Imy were still enjoying their own I iscomforture when Friar Tuck came long bringing a guest for supper, Sir tlchard of the Lea. Now Robin was Iways ready to feed the poor and ungry, but from the rich he took whatever he chose and gave it to the leed.v. When he asked for the 1 night's purse, however, he found not reaith, but poverty. Sir Richard's states ran side by side with those of he Priory of Emmet. The Abbott oveted the estates to Join to those of he Priory, and took advantage of ome difficulties of the Knight to get he landb in to. his power. The very lext day the Knight must pay four inndred pounds, of which he had not l penny, or lose his castle and his ands." "Thh? same Abbott was Robin's vorst enemy, so he was happy to be bio to lend the knight the money he You can imagine the disapjointmcnt of the greedy Abbott, who lad been so sure the lands would be lis that he had the title deeds drawn Hi ready for the knight to sign." "Not long after this Robin, strolling lone in the forest, met a young travl?-r in the dress of a page. Robin Mowed the lad to reach him with his iword enough to draw -blood. Then lo found ho had been attacked by no >oy. but by Maid Marian, his own weetheart whom he had not seen, iiu-o ho had come to the forest. He j lad not recognized her in boys t lothes, with her hair hidden under a ap pulled down over her face, nor she yini because he had grown a beard ince she had last seen him." "Maid Marian told'Robin that King olin. ruling In the absence of King Richard then in the Holy Hand, had taken from her all her property. She had coine to find Robin, the only friend she had left. Fair Ellen took Maid Marian to her house and gave her women's robes to wear. Then the two girls set out for the greenwood tree to rejoin Robin and his leaders." "But while they had been busy with their dressing, Important things had been happening. A tall, powerful stranger in the habit of a monk had come across Jolly Friar vTuck in the forest, and had asked him to tell him where he might find Robin Hood. Tuck denied all knowledge of Robin, and might have stood by his word but that Robin himself came on the scene just in mite to prevent their argument from changing to blows. "The stranger had heard that Robin sometimes permitted his men to show their skill at quarterstaves and at archery, and he had come hoping he might see these sports. He was ready to pay generously for his entertainment. and soon the men were in their places. They were interrupted by the hurried entrance of Sir Richard, who came to warn Robin that King Richad, home from the Holy I>and, had been entertained that day by Robin's enemies in Nottingham, and had started out to find Robin In the forest. He begged Robin to come to his castle with his men and remain in hiding till the King had left. "Robin thanked him, but refused to fly. He and his men were loyal subjects of their king, he said, and he would not run from his monarch. "The king will find a truer welcome in Sherwood than he will in palaces," said Robin. "I believe thee, Robin Hood." said the monk, then he threw back his cowl. It was King Richard himself. Robin and his men knelt In fealty to their king, who pardoned them all. and asked Robin to come to live at court with him. Those who wished to stay in the forest he made foresters in his own service. , When Robin brought Maid Marian to tell of her losses, the king bade Robin kneel. Ho laid his sword on Robin's shoulder and dubbed him Earl of Huntington, giving to him Marian's lands to go with the title. Then he bade Friar Tuck prepare to perform the marriage that very evening, giving his blessing to the happy couple. "The day ended with a great feast, presided over by' King Richard, with songs and dances by Robin's men, now no longer outlaws." crosses an<l U. S. ensign.

PINT OF TEXAS BLOOD FLYING TO TARHEEL PATI ENT j Sherman, Texas, Fob. 22 A pint of blood given by Miss Hilly Harnett, secretary of the Honham (Texas) chamber of commerce, was being sent by plane tonight to a patient suffering j streptococcus viridans in a Charlotte (N. C.) hospital. Miss Harnett was treated successfully here In 1939 for the bloodstroam disease. She had previously given blood to a patient in a Dallas hospital suffering the same disease. Arrangements for the shipment of the blood were made by the Dallas Variety club. KonGwe/nmm J P RICMORDJ I 1 Washington, Fob. 21?The Hvuae this week passed (ho new re-apportioninent bill for representation in Con-! gress Under existing law. ropreson- ' tatton in the House is limittHl to 435. A recent report of the Census Bureau, giving tho 1940 population of tho pro* sbnt Congressional Districts in each State, reveals a difference of more than 800,000 between the population of tho largest and the smallest Districts. The largest District, the 7th Illinois, represented by Congressman Schuets, Democrat, has a population of 914.063: whereas, the smallest, the 12th Now York, represented by Congressman Dickstein, . has only 70,307. If tho population of tho country wore apportioned equally among tho 436 Districts, each would have a population of about 300.000. Congress apportions tho number of Representatives among the several States, but each Stato determines for itself the boundaries of its Congressional Districts. The States of New York and Illinois have not been red istjrloted for several decades which largely explains the variation of the districts of those two States. Seven States elect their Members of Congress at large and have no Districts, and live moro elect one or moro Members at large. I^ast year, when appropriations were made for the Defense Program, the National debt limit was increased from forty-five billion to forty-nine billion. However, this now limit was almost reached in the last Congress, and the expanding Defense Progiam has made necessary a further Increase of the limit. Under a bill that has Just become law, the newl limit Is fixed at sixty-five billion. \ The law further authorized the issuance of Treasury Savings Certificates and Stamps, somewhat like the War Savings Stamps. It also made the income from all future / Government bonds subject to tax. The War Department estimated the strength of the American Army today at approximately 867,000 officers and enlisted men. The 62,000 officers on duty included 14,000 of the Regular Army; 14,000 National Guard Officers; ! and 34,000 Reserve Officers on extended active dut/y. The Army breakdown of the enlisted strength of 805,000 included 454,000 In the Regular Army, 1 223,000 from the National Guard; and 128,000 Selective Service trainees. More than 75,000 pieces of foreign propaganda mail, weighing In excess [ of fifteen tons, have been confiscated by postal authorities In the last two months, Postmaster General Frank C. Walker has disclosed. Most of the material seized came from Germany and Russia, by way of the Pacific. Some was sent from Japan and small amounts from Bngland and Italy. The propaganda mail was confiscated on the ground that it was non-mailable, ??????? ?? in thai it emanated from agents ?>f foreign countrlos living abroad who huvo not registered as audi with 11?*\ Statu Department. It will l?o remembered that <lurlug the last World War the British woro the main one to flood our mails with propaganda. They aro not following that policy this time because thoy have learnod that Americans are about fed up on hysteria* creating mot hods. Oroat Hritaln ? is content now to let Americans think out their own policy, In view of existing world conditions.

This, It said, was an Intermediate enrollment of tho type which would bo hold four times a year to supplement regular January. April, July, and October enrollments. Officials said other such enrollments would be hold May 20-31, August 20-31, and November 20-30. Knrollees must be Juniors, young men between 17 and 23 1-2 years. Those enrolleea will take the place of the CCJC boys discharged to permit enlistment in the military service. 7,633 of whom left tho corps during tho first six months of the current fiscal year. An addltonal 24,731 left to accept Jobs in private Industry. Question: What is the twentieth amend meat ? Answer: This Is the so-called "lame duck" amendment, which changes the timo for the beginning of the terms of the President, VicePresident, and the Members of Congress. The term of the Prosldont and Vice-President begins on January 20, and that of Members of Congress on January 3. It was adopted upon the ratification of the 36th State, January 123, 1933, and certified in effect on February 6, 1933. Question: Why was a constiutlonal amendment necessary to change the date of the 'beginning of the terms of President, Vice-President, and Members of Congress? Answer: Tho Constitution fixes the terms of President and Vlce-Presldont at four years; of Senators at six years; and of Representatives at two years. Any change of date would affect the terms of the incumbents. It was, therefore, necessary to amend the Constitution to make the change. This [ shortened the terms of President ' Franklin D. Roosevelt and Vlce-PresI ldent John N. Garner and all Senators | and Representatives. CITATION Tho state i>f South Carolina, County of Kershaw Hy NT. C. Aruott, Probate Judge: Whereas.
