without arms or signs of rank, and pass
ing fearlessly through the kings men, es-
sayed his skill among band Of youths
who were playing st the quintain. All
were astonisbed at the strength and grace
of this young stranger, who far surpassed
even Roland, the nephew of Charles, at
the game in which, hitherto, he had al
ways borne away the prize. Suddenly
there rose murmur that this was one of
the enemy who had found his way into
the camp.
"Seize himl" was the cry, and a score
of mailed hands were laid on Oliver. He
shook them off; he snatched up a tent
stake and laid his assailants upon the
ground; he sprang upon a swift horse,
and flew toward the town. Tho kings
men followed hard and fast, and young
Roland was foremost among them all.
Already he was close upon the fugitive
he had raised his sword to strike, when
he heard cry from the walls. He looked
up, and there was the fair Aida, divers
sister, clasping her hands and raising her
blue eyes to heaven, as she saw her broth
er's danger. The arm of Roland dropped
to his side. He refined his steed, and let
Oliver ride on unframed. Those who
beheld him thought he had been wound
ed by an arrow from the walls. The
shaft had gone to his heart.
Night and day Roland henceforth
thought Of the fair Aida, and no longer
cared to prove his courage in assaults
against the city of her kinsmen. There
were times of truce, too, when tho ladies
of Vienna rode freely through the kings
camp, and then the youth might feast his
eyes on her beauty. The day came when
he was made knight, and before ever be
had dinted his bright shield, he sought
speech of this lady and said =
II dare not ask thee to accept me as
thy knight; but trust that all the deeds
of my life will prove that there is none
more faithful and devoted to thy service"
"Ah, SIR" replied the blushing maiden,
~ wish we'll that we might be friends,
but this may not be while thy house is at
feud with mine."
From that day Roland strove to win
his uncle's mind to peace, and in likewise
counseled Duke Naymes and the bravest
of the peers. But Charles frowned and
said bitterly that he expected other

sneers, for Ganilon hated Roland ever
since the young knight had disabled him
In bis first tourney. These whispers came
to Roland's ear, and made his blood burr
