BECAUSE of the hardness towards the English people of William the Conquerorout of love for the ancient liberties of England.

Then in their living in the forest, they put themselves without the law by their ways of gaining their livelihoodthan RobinHoodand his company.

We do not know anything about Robin Hood, who he was, or where he lived, or what evil deed he had done.

Any man might kill him and never pay penalty for it.

But, outlawor not, the poor people loved him and looked on him as their friend, and many a stoutfellow came to join him, and led a merry life in the greenwood, with mossand fern for bed, and for meat the King's deer, which it was death to slaywith their richly dressed followersRobin Hood or one of his men?

One day Robin was walking alone in the wood, and reached a river spanned by a very narrow bridge, over which one man only could pass.

In the midst stood a stranger, and Robin bade him go back and let him go over.

"I am no man of yours," was all the answer Robin got, and in anger he drew his bow and fitted an arrow to it, "Would you shoot a man who has no arms but a staff?

" asked the stranger in scorn; and with shame Robin laid down his bow, and unbuckled an oaken stick at his side.

"We will fight till one of us falls into the water," he said; and fight they did, till the stranger planted a blow so well that Robin rolled over into the river.

"You are a brave soul," said he, when he had wadedto land, and he blew a blast with his horn which brought fifty good fellows, clad in green, to the little bridge.

"Have you fallen into the river that your clothes are wet?

" asked one; and Robin made answer, "No, but this stranger, fighting on the bridge, got the better of me, and tumbled me into the stream.

" At this the foresters seized the stranger, and would have ducked him had not their leader bade them stop, and begged the stranger to stay with them and make one of themselves.

"Here is my hand," replied the stranger, "and my heart with it.

My name, if you would know it, is John Little.

" "That must be altered," cried Will Scarlett; "we will call a feast, and henceforth, because he is full seven feet tall and round the waist at least an ell, he shall be called Little John.

" And thus it was done; but at the feast Little John, who always liked to know exactly what work he had to do, put some questions to Robin Hood.

"Before I join hands with you, tell me first what sort of life is this you lead?

How am I to know whose goods I shall take, and whose I shall leave?

Whom I shall beat, and whom I shall refrain from beating?

" And Robin answered: "Look that you harm not any tiller of the ground, nor any yeoman of the greenwood—no knightof the forest, and the new outlaw never forgot to "hold in his mind" the High Sheriff of Nottingham, who was the bitterest enemy the foresters had.
