Prince Herbert, who was Of tbe same
age. Aftr that day they had grown up
separated from one another, bu, tho time

! Mague,ounc made the sign Of ibe crass
( 10 commend her soul to tie Virgin. She
rose aud pat on her bridal robe, with the
long veil falling 10 the Aaor, Then, very
pale. sho went below Tier brothers,
looking at her admiringly, placed her 600

ls tla raalm of Prince Herbert 81 great
dsfaaee from here, she asked.
On, g ,org way off, TO get there we
must traverse pmias and i9re.ts and as-
ccud many a buoloppod mountain.
Then Mague.ouue bowed hgr head iu
anguish. Nothing before bad ever sep
araled bee from the home where she vas
born. Thus mounted she could touch
tbe iey which covered its walls; bar now
! her father aud brothers said, Let %. de-
I part. just then The mother of Maguel-
uuue came ont OF the house batI ed iu
tears, aud, with trembling arms, pressed
against her heart the little foot Of her
daughter which rested ou the siwup.

the Saraccns. 10 the midst Of this noble
hedge Of iron rode iair Maguelonne on
a white horse.
They rode on and on; they trayersed
the plains; they disappeared under the
green vault Of the forest; then they could
be seen on the side Of the steep noun
tain.
Their thoughts were sad, aud neither a
song nor ballad did they utter to divert
themselves by the way.
Nevertheless, days aud nights had gone
by since their departure, when at the
ford Of a river, the old duke stopped his
horse entirely. AS truly as the waters
Of this river willneyer flow past here

not go on one step further. Thy broth
