"One of the less well known, but most spectacular incidents, was the escape of two priests by a ruse that would have done credit to Monte Crlsto. One of them, having been strung up by the hands for days, and then put in a rack while his wrists still were swollen, without making him betray his faith, wrote In orange juice to friends outside, for a light rope with a weight at one end.

He also asked that a boat be brought to the river below Cradle Tower on a certain night. On that night he made hi3 way to his fellow prisoner's room. The two flung the weighted end of the rope to their friends in the boat, pulled up a heavier rope, climbed from the steep walls to the boat safely, and made their escape." 1 "wi yi These are old prices, the market value of the same qualities to-day is S10 to $15 more and the indications are they are going' much higher.

THE LONDON TOWER Seen of Hairbreadth Escape and Hidden Treasure The Tower of London, Is described In the following bulletin from the Xational Geographic Society: "Palace and prison, once noted also for its menagerie and its pageantry, birthplace-and death house of scene of hairbreadth escapes and reputed hidden treasure, ghastly in Its memories of tortures and killings and sacred for its martyrs, the Tower of London amply warrants description as the 'most ancient and most poetic pile in Europe. "William the Conqueror gave London a charter but built the White Tower to show the people how little that charter mighC-mean.

Like the English constitution the rambling London Tower of today is a product of centuries, and not one, but many towers, now are scattered over some 13 acres. The site had been a fortress since Roman times. "To the Middle Tower Elizabeth came back a queen five years after her jealous half-sister, Mary, had kept her there a prisoner. The hump-backed Richard. Ill Jiired' three assassins to-mur-der hfs nephews in Bloody Tower.

Xot until years later were their bones found and taken to Westminster Abbey. "Lady Jane Grey, she who 'had the birth of a Princess, the life of a saint, and the death of a malefactor, was beheaded in London Tower. Henry VIII waited to hear a gun fired from White Tower, signal of the execution of Anne Boleyn, so he might marry Jane Seymour next day. Henry's minister, Thomas Cromwell, sent hosts of enemies to London Tower to be butchered until he hejped pick Anne of Cleves for his much married monarch, but when Henry saw this prospective bride he pronounced her 'a Flanders mare and off went Cromwell's head with the rest. "Relieving such stories of royal cruelty are the immortal 'last words' of the brave men and women who laid their heads on the axeman's block.

'God forbid the King shall use any more such mercy to my laughed Sir Thomas More when told that Henry VIII had 'mercifully' consented to let him be beheaded instead of hanged, and, to the executioner, as he moved his beard aside, 'Pity that should be cut that has not committed treason. "The countess of Salisbury proudly refused to lay her head on the block because she had committed no wrong, so that, says an observer, apologizing for the executioner, 'he was constrained to fetch It off slovenly. 'If you strike me twice. I cannot promise you not to stir, warned Monmouth. Asked to raise his head a bit Algernon Sidney retorted, 'Xot until the general resurrection; strike on.

inquired Sir Walter Raleigh, to keep up the spirits of his attendant, 'Dost thou know of any plalster to set a man's head on again when it was cut "Consigned to the Tower for some 13 years Sir Walter set a fashion which made a salon out of the palace-prison. While he was not attending" his garden, and distilling essence from plants, he wrote his quaint 'History of the World," and there, too, William Penn wrote 'Xo Cross, Xo Crown, not to mention the writings of the Duke of Orleans and Sir John Eliot. "About the main entrance to the Tower was a menagerie until a hundred years or so ago because Frederick II of Germany sent Henry III of England several panthers and Henry did not know what else to do with them. Later James who liked bear baiting, added those animals to the zoo. "The warders, known as 'beef eaters, probably because they once' were fed on rations of meat, form one of the curiosities for London visitors.

They wear Tudor costumes and, like Swiss body-guard of the Pope, they, keep their ancient costumes, undisturbed by currents of modern fashion. "Just before midnight the head warder and the porter, carrying a bunch of huge keys, go to the guard room, summon 'the escort of the keys, made up of 'beef eaters and then proceed ceremoniously to lock the great outer gate. The pass word is given formally to sentries as the procession passes, and in conclusion the detail salutes the keys as the porter cries, 'God preserve the King. Every three months the reigning king or queen sends the password of the Tower to the constable, signed and sealed, and the mayor of London ithe only outside person supposed to iiow it. This custom is a relic of the time when the Tower was primarily a fortress.

"Like the Bastile. London Tower has been stormed. Desperate efforts have been made to steal the rojal relics kept there, which include the ancient 'anointing spoon and Queen Elizabeth's salt cellar. One famous effort, in which a Col. Blood, disguised as a clergyman, nearly made away with the bejewelled crown, is thought by some to have been Cleveland.
