What lifetime Of thought and feeling was
crowded into the noxt moment The three
cleaning swords were raised and the doomed

CHAPTER Ill.
nARkNEss AND DOOM.


Pyrrho, king Of Sicily, sat upon his throne
of gold and precious stones, and about him
were a few of the hardened, cruel, subseryi-
ent men whom he dared to trust. lie was a
man short and clumsy in stat
ure with a face broad and brutal in its ex-
preston, and strongly marked by dissipation
and debauchery. If he had ever possessed
the assurance Of brave man, he had lost it
now, and his only hopes Of safety were in the
willing swords about him, and in the terror
which his cruelty inspired. The light from
three huge chandeliers of massive gold cast a
strange luster over the large apartment-the
beams being here reflected from polished mir
rors there from pillars of marble and por-
phyry; and anon taking deeper hues from the
gaudy tapestry that hung upon the walls.

can be" said the monarch, turning to his
chamberlain. "Ah-here comes the lieuten-
ant We shall see
There was a movement among the guard at
the lower end of the chamber, and presently
an officer approached the throne, leading Alar-
ic by the arm
as he unaimed :" the king cried as his eye
rested upon the youth tall and sinewy frame.
"lIe is, sire. We found only a simple
sword upon him, and that we took from him. -
A contemptuous look overspread the
youths face as he thus found a monarch so
fearful but when he gazed full upon the iea-
lures Of the tyrant who had slain his loved
kindred, an expression of deadly hate swept
over his noble brow, and keen fire burned in
his dark eye.
"Ye gods" gasped the king, as he caught
a full view of the youths face with this deep
expression from the soul upon it, "what have

all we know of the speech is through the
medium of reporters for the newspapers -
The report for the Mercury IL very full
