any unnecessary exerton; but on the contrary made
a dead halt confident that if his enemy advanced
to the actual shock, his own weight, and that ofhs
powerful charger, would give him sufficient adyan-

motion. Equally sensible and apprchensye of such
probable result, the Saracen cavalier, when he
had approached towards the Christian within twice
the length of his lance, wheeled his steed to the
left with lnmitable deXterity, and rode twice round
his antagonist, who, turning without quitting his
ground, and presenting his front constantly to his
enemy, frustrated his attempts to attack him on an
unguarded point; so that the Saracen, wheeling his
horse, fam to retreat to the distance of an hum

knight Of the leopard hoped to deprive him. But
the latter had in the meanwhile recovered his mace;
and the Eastern cavalier, who remembered the
strength and dcXterity with which he had aimed it,
seemed to keep cautiously out of reach Of that wea
pom, Of which he hadso lately feltthe force while
he showed his purpose of waging distant warfare
with missile weapons Of bis own. Planting his long
