"'He does not love me for my birth,Nor for my lands so broad and fair;He loves me for my own true worth,And that is well—'"
Lady Lancaster could have killed her for her brilliant triumph, but she was powerless to do anything but carry out her angry threats, so she retired from the scene and went to her dower house, where she actually adopted a scion of the house of Lancaster and made him the heir to her wealth; but this lad was too young to marry the earl's daughter, so the dowager never had that honor in the family.
But her spleen and venom passed harmlessly and unheeded over the heads of Lord Lancaster and his fair Leonora, for, in the far-famed language of the story-book, "they were married, and live happily ever afterward."
THE END.
THE LIFE STORY OF CHARLES PEACE
ProfuselyIllustrated
This is the most remarkable book which has appeared during the present generation. It gives the absolutely true history of that arch criminal, the burglar and murderer, Charles Peace, who for many years masqueraded in England under many different personalities, but always as that of a respectable gentleman. He was without doubt the most depraved monster who ever preyed upon society. He was bad-mad or mad-bad and from other points of view when Justice finally caught and executed him upon the scaffold the world was well rid of him.
He started his career when he was eleven years old and during the different periods when he was outside of prison, masquerading always as a respectable business man, he changed his personality when the darkness of night fell and carried out the boldest robberies and the most daring criminal schemes ever perpetrated by any one man in the history of the world.
No other criminal who ever lived could compare in cunning and daring with Charles Peace, the Master Criminal. Read about it in this great book which is for sale everywhere. If you are unable to secure it from your newsdealer it will be sent to you postpaid by the publishers upon receipt of 30¢.

NAPOLEON'S ORACULUM
which it contains, is an absolutely true copy of that strange and weird document found within a secret cabinet of Napoleon Bonaparte.
The fact that dozens of worthless and unreliable imitations have been placed upon the market demonstrates it to be a fact that The Old Three Witches Dream Book stands today, as always, the original, only reliable dream book published.
