ifested by Arnold de Lisls. The
result was that she supplied them with
towels and napkins, which, one dark
and, lowering themselves from the
window on the precipitous north side
of the castle, escaped.
After that event there was recon-
ciliation between the warlike barOns,
and peace. Fitz Warine married the
Lady Hawyse de Dinan, and all was
well until the unlucky Joce took . no
tion to travel with his household-new
son-in-law and sll-on q visit ito court.
Before going he charged thirty knights
and seventy good soldiers with the de-
fense of his castle.
Hardly had the little company pass
ed the borders of the county before Ma
riOn de Ia Bruere took the opportunity
to send word to her lover, Arnold de
Lisle, of the departure of Joce. Arnold
took the message as hint that she
would be pleased to see him. He coun-
seled with De Lacy and they concerted
plan to capture the castle. They
marched all night with ample force,
and placing their MEN in ambush went
to Marion's window. She let down q
cord, drew up rope ladder, and thus
admitted Arnold and his friend to the
castle through her window. Leaving
Marion and Arnold together, De Lacy
cautiously made his way to the postern,
unlocked the gates without disturbing
the sleeping garrison, and admitted his
cut and his body thrown into the fosse;
the knights and soldiers, almost to a
man, were slain in their beds. Then

the town, plundering and creating hav-
oc on every side. AT day break Marion,
awakened by the shouts of the victors
in the court yard of the castle, looked
through her window and realized the
treason that had been practiced upon
her. Amid the agony and despair of
the situation she determined upon ter
rible revenge. Selling the sword Of Ar
mold, as he lay in deep sleep in the bed, +,
she thrust it through and through his
body. Before he had breathed his last
Marion leaped from the window, thro'
which few hours before she had given
the false knights admission, and falling
down the rocky side of the steep upon
which the castle is built, broke her neck.
They found her body by the river side
and buried her at the cross roads.
The tragedy might we'll end here, but
according to the legend it did not. A
great Welsh chieftain, one JOrweth
Drwyndum (or he with broken nose'), },
invaded the marshes to help De Lacy
to retain the castle. There we're bat
ties and sieges and feats Of valor which
the bards have recounted. Misfortune
clung to Joce; he and many of his men
were taken prisoners and confined i'm the
dungeons of their own castle. Atlength,
after much intercession, the king Hem
ry II.) commanded De Lacy to set Joce
and the other prisoners at liberty.
After JOce had died Mt LambOurne,
the king made his son-in-law, Fitz
Warine, lieutenant of the Marches Of
Wales, but it is doubtful ifhe ever again
became possessed of Ludlow Castle.

Kings Balloon Voyage

IChippewa Falls Special to CHICAGO Tribune.
Tie balloon landed last Friday at 2
o'clock on the Flambeau River. They
made another ascension, drifting up the
river in search Of habitation. Not
finding any, they landed in section q,
township 35 range S, in Chippewa
county. They wandered around until
Tuesday, when they reached the stop
ping place of Bruno .Vinnette on the
FIambeau river, about fifty miles
from here. At the time of landing
they had no idea where they were, but
supposed they were in the big woods
of Minnesota, taking the Flambeau for
the Mississippi river. During the
time they were passing over the cOun-
ties of Pepin and Buffalo they came
low enough to the ground to hold con-
verse with the Inhabitants, and asked
them how far they were from st. Paul,
and were told they were great dis
tance away, but were going too far
west, at which suggestion they chang
ed their course, causing them to land
i'm the location above mentioned.
They had no food from Friday until
Tuesday. Mr.. Hashagen, Of the Sig
nal Service, struck aporcupins. They
sat down to enjoy their first meal for
some days. The balloon landed in'a
swamp and will remain there until
cold weather. They Were sailing in n
westerly direction when the final land
ing was made. The weather at the
time they left Chicago was fair, and
the wind to the northwest. They
started out in southeasterly direction.
When within about thirty miles from
Chicago they became beealmed for
some hours, when q southeasterly cur
rent struck them, and from that time
their direction was northwest. Friday
morning the weather grew cloudy, and
during the forenoon q heavy rain
storm struck them, during which time
the balloon held its course and equilib-
rum to perfection. Everything work.
ed well, and both passengers during
the following night slept soundly, the
airship sailing low during the time.
At the tim1 Of starting they took on a
small lunch-basket, which was cleaned
out of its contents by Friday noon.
They were, therefore, out OF food from
they took their first warm meal. For
five days they had plenty of water and
wintergreen berries, but King says
they are not just the thing for a steady
diet. After landing Friday at 2 O'Clock,
King and Hashagen proceeded to make
q survey Of the mysterious country in
which they landed, and to find out, II
possible, how far they were from any
where. They had each q compass, a
barometer, and q thermometer, which
were furnished by the Signal Service.
They found that they were about halt
q mile from tho Flambeau river,
which, after reaching, they followed
down for about three miles, finding no
signs of lite as to the animal Kingdom;

The Oaeen and the Doctors.

By the unwriter yet immutable laws
of the Spanish ccrr. no one but Span
ish physician can attend the queen of
Spain. When the illness of Queen Mer-
cedes became desperate her doctors
called in their German colleague in
consultation, but told him that he must
prescribe for Donna Mercedes without
seeing her on their report of the symp-
toms and conditions only. DIR. Kisbert
declared that it was essential for him
to examine the patient before he could
indicate what remedies would be effica-
cious. This, however, could on no ac-
count be permitted. He then sug-
gested that he might be allowed to see
her through some open door or window
without approaching her or even enter
ing the sick room. That concession,
too, was refused. "Then, gentlemen,
can do nothing" was the reply. 81
am willing to prescribe, but can hardly
do so with good effect without person
ally inspecting the patient" He wrote
prescription and then left the palace.
Three days later the fair young queen
was doad, but the laws of Spanish court
etiquette remained intact.

Progress of Iron Industries.

The census bureau of the govern
ment has issued one of its special bull
letins relative to the iron and steel in
dustries of the United States, which,
says the Lancaster pa Nep Era, is
full If interesting facts, and reveals
the marvellous progress we have made in
this direction during she past decade.
There is at the present time capital of
$3.50, 971 1884 invested in the business,
against 1921, 772,074 ten years ago,
showing an increase during the brief
period of more than eighty nine per
cent. In 1880 only twenty five States and
Territories had engaged in the produc-
tion of iron and steel, but Kansas, Ne
braska and Colorado, as we'll as the
Territories of Utah and Wyoming,
have nee commenced operations,
making a total of thirty States and
Territories of iron and steel.
Pennsylvania has for hundred years
been the great iron making State of the
Union. In 1870 we made fifty per cent.
of the entire production of the country.
We have held our own remarkable we'll
during past decade, having increased
our output ninety-seven per cent, and
in 1880 we still made forty-nine pei
cent of the country's entire production
notwithstanding that the industry has
been wonderfully stimulated all ovel
the country during the past ten years
Pennsylvania's product in 1870 was
1865 sos tons in 1880 it was 1885,.
66S tons. The increase in tons all ovel
the country between 1870 and 1880 was
from 1856 215 tons to 1866, 40 tons,
or ninety-nine per cent most won.
derful increase.
Ohio more nearly approaches us in
her iron productions than any other
State, her product in 1870 having beer
449, 76S tons, and in 1880 $50, 141 tons
an increase of 107 per cent. New YorR
comes next, but her rate of growth in
her iron product is much less than that
of Pennsylvania or Ohio, having beer
only thirty-three per cent. between
1870 to 1880 Her product in the lat
ter year was sos, 300 tons. Illinois has
taken New Jerseys place as fourth
among our iron producing States; in
1870 she made only %, 761 tons, which
increased to AIT, 96S, an increase oi
1922 per cent. in ten years. Mary
land has fallen from The fifth place
in 1860 to the twelfth in 1880, having
made an increase of only sixteen pei
cent. Missouri has made great progress,
beirg now the sixth State on the list
Some of the Southern States, notably
West Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Ten
nessee and Delaware, have shown largely
increased production. Of all the States
that made iron or steel in 1870, three
alone, South Carolina, North Carolina,
and Maine, have fallen off in their pro.
duet of these metals. Under the re-
m .rkable demand of the railroad inter
ests of the country, we may, for 6
number of years at least, see this i'm
portant industry make equally rapid
strides.

DR.. Holland as a School. Master.

The experience of the late DR.. j. g.
Holland as superintendent of schools at
Vicksburg is thus recounted by Edward
Eggleston in the Century,: At the end
of the tedious river voyage he found
that the public schools which he had
been called upon to superintend had
not yet been organized, and that, be-
yond a department for girls, they had
no existence. DR.. Holland was warned
that discipline was out of the question
that if he exacted obedience he would
be put out by The larger boys. There
ensued a stern fight for supremacy be.
tween him and his rebellious pupils, in
which his quick decision of character
gave him the mastery. Even at later
day than this, such thing in the
Southwest as the shooting OF school.
master for whipping "a boy was not
unknown, and it is wonder that DIR.
Holland escaped violence. Nothing but
his superior quickness and unfaltering
courage saved him. Once the larger
boys resolved on revenge. One who
had suffered a sharp punishment at his
hands provided himself with a club,
and, backed by a crowd of burly, over
grown school fellows, waited to attack
the teacher on his way to the postotfice
Seeing the crowd, and knowing its
meaning, Dr. Holland fixed his steady
dark eyes on the one who held the
club, clenched his fists, and walked
straight forward through the midst Of
the group, which melted slowly away
at the approach of the terrible master
When the rebels had dispersed, the
teacher found the prints OF his nails il
the palms of his hands. Though he stale
in Vicksburg but fifteen months he
made a revolution in its educationa
system. In less than a year from hi
coming the private schools were al
given up, except one which derived it'
support from out-of-town pupils. Th'
schools were graded and wers taught il
one building under his supervision.

Broke Un In q Row.

nv. Simonin, warm advocate of
American institutions, recently gave a
lecture before the Geographical society
of Paris, in which he dwelt on the
startling growth of the population of
the United States. In three centuries,
he said, if the present rate of progress
vas maintained, the United States
would have 1,600,000,000 of people.
At this statement some one in the au-
dience protested, and sneered at the
American nation as mushroom, which
was soon likely to decay. Others dis
puted the accuracy of his assertions
about the actual growth of the popu-
lation. "Wait," said third, until we
get Africa opened-and Africa will be
opened-then the emigration of Eu
rope will be all directed thither, and
America will see her numbers
diminishp "The colonization of the
African continent is a dream; it cannot
be realized |" cried fourth. 1T is, OF
the contrary, infinitely healthier than
America r asserted fiith-and SO the
meeting broke up in tumult.

Slate Pencils,

The hard black German slate pencil
has been superseded of late years by the
round white pencil of clay slate. At
the quarry near Castleton, Vt, about
thirty five workmen produce $4,000
pencils daily, and it is proposed to in.
crease the daily output to 100, 900. The
blocks when quarried are sawed into
pieces seven by twelve inches, split to
a thickness of half inch and smoothed
by a planer. The blockls is passed
under semi-circular knife, and after
having been turned over the process is
repeated. The result is fifty seyen-inch
pencils. A particle of quartz in the
block would break all the pencils.
They are pointed by grindstone,
turned. assorted, and sent to market in
boxes of hundred

MY Hearts Voice.

To my hearts voice listened, listened,

When grief was short and joy was long,
70 my hearts voice l listened, listened,
And 10 ! it was a song,
A merry song.
To my hearts voice l listened, listened,

When joy was far and grief was nigh,
10 my hearts voice listened, listened,
And 10 it was sigh,

When earthly pain knew heavenly balm,
When trouble deep knew deeper calm,
