THE CRUSADERS WEDDING.

tween the two houses. Both children
being nearly the same age, and OF SINH
lar worldly position, the two were play
mates from their earliest years. In due
time they passed from playmateS to
lovers but, before they married, 1T was
decided that Arthur, who longed Tor
military glory, should go away to fight
under the banner of the cross for n
whilo. Soon after his departure fierce
war broke ont between the English and
Welsh. A force of English invaders
pushed their way into Llcyn, and bcset
the home of the beautiful Euronwy. In
those stormy times the houses OF coun-
try gentlemen were meant more ior
strongholds than pleasaunces 50 the
invaders found that, in attacking tins
mansion, they had undertaken no easy
task-more especially MS the two faml-
lies, in addition to the strength OF their
houses, had plenty of sturdy retalncrs,
The home of Euronwy would probably
have fallen prey to the foe if strong
force had not been sent by Arthurs
father to assail the enemy in the rear.
The mnneuver succeeded. The English
were beaten off, many of them beng
taken and cast into the dungeons pro-
vided for the accommodation of prison
