would to Heaven had been born your
| vassal, Richard" he murmured, sadly. " But
| you cannot refuse the homage of my heart;
and If the time shall ever come when | can
serve you, care not at what cost, will ask
| for nothing more"
That time did come; and Eric of Arras rem
dered great service to the Duke of Normandy,
at the cost of all that one man can sacrifice for
the sake of another-his life. If he had been
forewarned of what should be his early destiny,
the knowledge, perhaps, would not have caused
him so sad a feeling of regret as did Richard
rejection of his offered homage.
The Boy Duke, however, in parting with
Eric, manifested such warmth of tender
hearted sympathy as made him appear, for the
time being, more boy than Duke. lie said all
that Duke and boy could say, to encourage
and console his youthful captive, and promised,
If it were possible, to transmit his message OF
grateful affection to his foster father, Master
Herman, at Arras.
10 Sir Ivo de Belesme Richard said:
" leave Count Eric under your roof, SIR 1vo,
in the confidence that l could not easily find
him shelter more secure; and shall hold you
to answer for his comfort and safety. Should
any unforeseen peril arise to place HIM IN Jeop-
ardy, protect him at all hazards and by any
means. Remember this"
= will, nay Lord and you, Audemer, re-
member it" said Two, glancing at his son:
ou al Lulu VI Tue CdSLlb III A1J "o9NhSN;
my responsibility in this matter rests equally
on you"
Audemer, who was about the age of Eric,
warmly pledged himself to make the young
Fleming as happy at Belesme as he could be
anywhere, and to defend him from all danger,
when the charge was left with him. And Sir
Ivo rode away with Richard, leaving his son
with perfect confidence to keep his castle on
the Norman march, and to fill his place as
guardian of the hostage.
The Boy Duke and his company arrived IN
sight of Rouen early on the following day
As Richard cantered gaily along the descend
ing road which led to his own fair city on the
Seine his heart was full of satisfaction, for his
journey was accomplished, its object was at
tanned, and coming home in safety, he could
tell Count Bernard de Harcourt that the Duke
of Brittany had yielded to his will, and so far
from being offended, was more his friend than
ever. He had kept his promise to the burgher
of Arras, aud saved the son of his fathers muir
derer; and more than that, he had made
Knight of the noblest youth in Brittany, and
Baron of the boldest- hearted boy in Nor
mandy.
Thus he reflected, in calm content; while
before him opened wide the gates of Roufn,
where the stately Tower of Rollo-his own
castle tower-loomed up against the sky, and
its futtering banner waved his welcome home.

A Fatal Practical Joke.

On Jan. 81, at the Pennsylvania Soldiers and
Sailors Home, at Erie, Pa, as the inmates were
seating themselves at the dinner-table man
named McQuinlan, of Philadelphia in sport
pulled a chair away in which Louis Bachler. of
Mahanoy City, was about to seat himself
Bachler fell on the floor in sitting posture,
and streams of blood gushed from his mouth
and nostrils. He had ruptured several blood
vessels, and almost before he could be lifted up
he was dead, before the eyes of hundreds of his
Mortified comrades. McQuinlan, who is dis
tracted over the awful accident, has been COM
mitted to jail to await the action of the next
Grand Jury IN the matter.

RoUEN NO PLACE FOR ERIC.

az have reflected" said he, that Rouen
would perhaps not be very pleasant place for
you. Eric; my good friend, the Count of Har-
court is so incensed against all Flemings-and
indeed, the most of my friends are of much the
same mind"
He said this as they stood upon the battle
ments at Belesme where Audemer was point
ing ont the view, and showing cordial desire
to put the Flemish guest at ease. 1t was this
evident inclination to be friendly on the part
of Sir Iyos heir, which had led to Richards
remark. He continued:
i have no fear that Sir Two will ever per-
NIT any such feeling to influence his conduct
in regard to you, Count Eric or to render you
unhappy in his hall; and / am very glad to
see that Audemer is disposed to entertain you
with that kindly courtesy which all my Nor
man friends would show, can assure YOU,
| hostage though you are, if they could but for
| get your Flemish birth. At Rouen however.
| fear they would remember it too well. II
| my people are too bitter in this feelling-as
| think they are-it is not for me to blame them,
since it rises from their love for me and for nv
| father"
Before the Boy Duke had ceased speaking
| Eric was on his knees before him, exclaiming
| passonately:
81 blame them not! l love you, also and
| willingly will / renounce my name and birth
| right, If | may become your vassal! Richard
let me swear allegiance to you, and be no more
Fleming!"
And seizing Richards hand, he pressed it to
his lips, and commenced the formal oath of
fealty:
Richard, Duke of Normandy, I, Eric of
| Arras-"
Richard snatched his hand away, and said,
imperatively:
rise, Eric, rise! You must not think of
such thing! 1t would make war for me
| with Flanders"
And, indeed, it would have been quite suf-
fcient pretext for declaration of war from the
Count of Flanders, if the Duke of Normandy
had accepted the homage of his son, Flemish
noble, however he might have sighted and
misused the boy, himself
"And when | fight Count Arnulf," added
Richard sternly, it shall not be for any cause
wherein he could be said to have just reason
for complaint No, Count Eric am your
friend, and will protect and aid you in SO far AZ
! can stretch my power-but not your Lord
You must not stoop your knee to me in HON.
age Rise, j sayl"
And Eric, looking disappointed and down.

significant event happened In New York
harbor the other day. which has not attracted
as much attention as it deserves. Capt. Lewis
of the Inman steamship line, referred to by
his employers as their "crack tar" was coming
in on the City Of Berlin, when a tug met him
with instructions that he should be transferred
at once 10 an outgoing steamer and carried back
in time to take command Of the City Of New
York at Liverpool and bring her across. BY
some mishap the ship to which he was to be
transferred sailed away without him, and the
plan fell through.
The secret of this extraordinary move was
that the White Star line was to start its new
steamer Teutonic from Liverpool on the same
day with the City of New York, and, as she
promised something wonderful in the way Of
speed, it was the Inman companys desire to
have ocean race from shore to shore and
keep the prestige of their line unbroken
The meaning of the whole affair is that the
ocean passenger trade now looks to nothing in
building new vessels except speed Safety
is quite a secondary consideration. 1t
is true that any person infected with
the racing mania will answer such a charge as
this with the statement that the swiftest ship is
also the safest. The theory is that, in cases OF
collision between two ships, the one moving
with the greater speed suffers the less damage.
A small craft with slow motion will be sunk
or cut in two by her big antagonist moving
fast; in cases where the sizes of the two are the
same, the common law of impinging bodies is
cited; and instances can be recalled where q
smaller ship has been driven half way through
larger one, with little comparative damage
to herself, by force of her greater momentum.
For all that, the argument remains good that
TO have collisions without injury is not nearly
80 agreeable as to go without any collisions
whatever. and that seems to have been the
more general rule in the old days before the
''grayhound' fol de rol on the high seas began.
1t was then customary, at any rate, to make
slow progress through fogs and heavy weather.
Now the idea seems to be to stop at nothing,
but simply to get into port ahead Of ones
rivals. The ''crack tar" Of the period is gen.
orally recognized as the man whose fearless
ness, when called upon to take all sorts of
chances, is most notorious, and who has a
record for luck in getting out of tight places
Strange to say, the public-especially the
American public-seem to be infatuated with
this slambang sort of seamsnship, and its pat
ronage goes where the days and hours aboard
ship are fewest regardless Of risks, and with
view single to being on the winning ship in
the race. There must be an end to this sort OF
thing somewhere, of course; and all we'll
wishers of mankind will pray that it may not
come in the form of series of disasters more
appalling than any heretofore witnessed.

1t is gratifying to hear from his close friends
that Judge Cooley will not be tempted away
from the head of the interstate commerce COM
mission by offers from outside. He realizes,
they say, that, though the emoluments of his
present Office are not great, the honor of being
the first chairman, chief organizer, and lead
ing spirit Of the commission is not an empty
one; and that whatever success may be achieved
by the government in establishing a rational
code Of supervision over the class of roads
which come under federal authority, will re-
dound directly to his fame as jurist and an
executive. 1t is a pity that Commissioner
Walker could not have been brought to take a
pleasant enough view of his position to keep
him from resigning it. The talk now about
the purpose of Senator Edmunds to have the
vacant seat held open until Mr.. Walker finds
out whether he is going to be suited with his
private arrangement, is, let us hope, unwar-
ranted. The idea of public officers dropping
their duties to make excursions into private
business. and returning at will if the results
are not all they were led to expect is not agree
able. There are certain implied obligations
which every man takes upon himself when the
people, either directly through their votes. or
through an appointing power deputized by
them, call him to place of responsibility; and
one Of them is that he il to give his whole
heart to his work while he is engaged in it, in
stead Of regarding it merely as a make-shift or
q stepping-stone for his personal convenience.
