Some per- “? 4 sons, 1 know, hold all that to ‘ “- be totally un-Solomonlike and the height of vanity, but they usually have no ancestors of whom to be proud. The man who does not know who his great-grandfather was natu- rally enough would not care what he was. The Caskodens have pride of an- cestry because they know both who and what. We have a right to be proud, for there is an unbroken male line from William the Conqueror down to the present time. In this lineal list are fourteen baronsâ€"the title lapsed when Charles I. tellâ€"twelve Knights of the Garter and forty-seven-Knights of the Bath and other orders. A Caskoden ”“5” .‘uâ€" v - . distinguished himself by gallant serv- ice under the great Norman and was given rich English lands and a fair Saxon bride, albeit an unwilling one. as his reward. With this fair, unwill- ing Saxon bride and her long plait of yellow hair goes a very pretty, pathetic story, which I may tell you at some fu- ture time if you take kindly to this. A Caskoden was seneschal to William Rufus and sat at the rich, half bar- baric banquets in the first great hall. Still another was one of the doughty barons who wrested from John the 2 great charter, England’s declaration of independence; another was high in the 4'. councils of Henry V. I have omitted 'one whom I should not fail to men- Hion. Adjodika (:askoden, who was a 'inember of the duuce parliament of Henry IV., so called because there were no lawyers in it. It is true that in the time of Edward IV. a Caskoden did stoop to trade, but ‘ it was trade of the most dignified. hon- iorahle sort-he was a goldsmith, and his guild, as you know, were the bank- ers and internatimml clearance house for people, kings and nobles.

Some are in the form of diaries and journals, like those of Pepys and Evelyn; others in letters, like the Pastons’; others. a gain,in verse and song, like Chaucer’s and the Water Poet’s, and still others in the more pretentious form of memoir and chronicle. These records we always have kept jealously within our family, , thinking it vulgar, like the Pastons, to isubmit our private affairs to public gaze. There can, however, be no reason why Ithosc parts treating solely of outside ! matters should he so carefully guard- l ed, and I have determined to choose for l publication such portions as do not di- ' vulge family secrets or skeletons; and WINCH [Scull] IDUVIu-su -v -.._ _ For this occasion I have selected from the memoir of my worthy ances- tor and namesake. Sir Edwin Caskoden, grandson of the goldsmith and master of the dance to Henry VIII., the story of Charles Brandon and Mary Tudor, sister to the king. This story is so well known to the student of English history that I fear its repetition will lack that zest which attends the development of an unfore- ‘ seen denouenient. but it is of so great interest and is so full in its sweet. fierce manifestation of the one thing insolu- ble by time~lovewthat I will neverthe less rewrite it from old Sir Edwin’s : memoir. __â€" Tm: DUEL. l T sometinws lmmwns.

The 1 story went that young Brandon and his elder brother, both just home from the continental wars, had met Judson ‘ at an Ipswich inn, where there had been considerable gambling among them. Judson had won from the brothers a 1“” sum of money which they had brought home, for, notwithstanding their youth, the elder being but twen- ty-Iix and the younger about twenty- four years of age, they ' great honor and considerable p wars, especially the younger, name was Charles, I It is a little hard to fight for money , and then to lose it by a single spot np- ‘ on the die, but such is the fate of him who plays, and a philosopher will swal- 1 low his ill luck and take to fighting for f more.

The Brandons waited un- til they were sure, and then trouble begun, which resulted in a duel on the second morning following. This Judson was a Seoteh gentleman 0f whom very little vas known except that he was counted the most deadly and most cruel duelist of the time. 110 was called the "Walking Death.” and it is said he took pride in the. appellav tlon. He boasted that he had fought eighty-seven duels. in whieh he had killed» seventy-tire men. and it was con. sidered certain death to meet him.

Aware of this. Brandon knew that victory was his and that soon he would have avenged the mur- ders that had gone before. He saw that his adversary was strong neither in wind nor arm and had not the skill to penetrate his guard in a week’s try- ing. so he determined to fight on the defensive until Judson's strength should wane. and then kill him when and how he chose. L A L “an #‘nfi ‘.- After a time Judson began to breathe hard and his thrusts to lack force. “Boy, I would spare you,” he said. “I have killed enough of your tribe. Put up your sword and call it quits.” Young Brandon replied: “Stand your ground, you coward. You will be a dead man as soon as you grow a little weaker.

At last, by a dexterous twist of his blade, Brandon sent Jud- son’s sword flying thirty feet away. The fellow started to run, but turned and fell upon his knees to beg for life. Brandon’s reply was a flashing circle of steel. and his sword point cut length- wise through J udson’s eyes and the bridge of his nose, leaving him sightless and hideous for lifeâ€"a revenge com- pared to which death would have been merciful. _ , L:,_».- “1l‘l\“"h- IBL‘I'L'H lu. The duel created a sensation through- out the kingdom, for, although little was known as to who Judson was, his fame as n duolist was as broad as the land. He had boon at court upon sov- ornl occasions. and at one time, upon the king’s birthday, had fought in the royal lists. So the matter came in for its share of consideration by king and conrtivrs, and young Brandon became a porson of interest. 110 became still â€" “4m“ unnln svnnflullfl’ll who hzul n person of interest.
