Incidentally she had two thumbs on each hand, a hideously projecting tooth and a large disfiguring mole on her neck. But in spite of these draw. backs she was one of England’s most notorious heartbreakers. She was Anne Boleyn, daughter of an English nobleman. No one knows whem ete was born. It was somewhere between 1,500 and 1507. From early girlhood Anne hed a host of admirers. Among others, @ir Thomas Wyatt, the famous poet, adored her. But she turned her back on him and became engaged to Lord Percy, heir to the Earl of Northumberlasé. The match was broken off and she was betrothed to another of her countless admirers, Sir James Butler. This engagement too was broken. Anne had meanwhile been appointed one of the ladies-in-waiting to Kath erine, Queen of England, wife of King Henry VIII. ¢ Henry was at that time in the prime of life, strikingly handsome, gay ema | If headstrong, Katherine was six years older than he and was wrinkled, ugiy fA eolemn.

But {t served Anne's turn. Henry married her in 30 {8 soon as ho was free from Katherine. He and Anne had dut one obtlé whe Uved—a daughter known iater to history as Queen Elizabeth. And now success completely turned the new Queen's head.

Jefferson was eighty-three. Adams was ninety. Not many months before Jefferson had written to Adams, for whom, in spite of all political differences, he felt the warmest friendship. It is an old ‘man’s letter, empty of politics, delightfully human, like a quiet hand- clasp between two old patriots and statesmen toward the end of their busy and important journeys. ‘ “T have ever dreaded a doting age,” writes the sage of Monti- | f cello, “and my health has been generally so good, and is now so good, | that I dread it still. he rapid decline of my strength during the} last winter has made me hope sometimes that I sce land.

I am told you walk well and firmly. I can only reach my garden, and that with sensible fatigue. I ride, however, daily, but reading is my delight. God bless you, and five you health, strength, good spirits, and as much life as you think worth having.” Adams's last words are said to have been: “Jefferson still eur- { vives.” He did not know his old friend had died that morning. ‘ This country has few historic ecenes more memorable, more .
