food, in return for lich he hewed the
wood and carried the water for the house
hold Seeing that he vas clothed in sin
! gle coat, and that he did the work of four,
| had fashioned for him clothes of a
proper habit, and now ! would pray you,
earl, TO let the youth be brought before
you, so haply you may choose him for a
man Of arms. say this, for that he is a
| gentle youth, and that all men, yea, the
very children love him, in that he is not
only strong but blithe of speech, and hand
| some to look upon"
And the earl did as Stewart Bertram
| asked Of him. and when Havelok stepped
in front of him lie saw that all that was
| told OF him was truth. And in that hour
a wicked thought took hold of the earl
lie thought that he would marry Gold
borough to Ha.elok, and so might he keep
his oath and break it, seeing that the
youth was the poorest man in all the land
and vet was a churl's son, whom having
married the princess would be dragged
down from her high estate and could no
more be accounted worthy to rule the fair
land of England. So the earl sent for
by hard knocks and partly by threats he
forced them both to agree to his wish, and
the twain were married bv the archbishop
of York, for the earl's castle was at Lin
coin, nearby
Then Havelok took his wife, who was
as yet 10 him no wife save in name
alone, for she dcspisel her husband on ac-
count Of what she esteemed his lowly birth,
and the two journeye1 northward and
eastward to Grimsbv. as the dwelling of
Grimme was then called and as is known
to this very day. But Grimme was dead
and his wife also. and only his five children
were left TO welcome Havelok and his
queenly bride. RIGHT kind was the greet
ing Grimme's children gave, and soon they
had prepared a great feast in honor Of the
pair.
In the night as G0ldborouCh lay awake,
sorrowing after the manner Of women, she
saw that the room was bright, and that
the light came from about the head Of her
husband, and she heard a voice bidding
her sorrow not, for that Havelok was
kings son and heir, and that he and she
should rule together over Denmark and
England Then she woke Havelok and
told him what she had heard
In the morning Havelok rose and called
10 him Grimmn'S three sons. Robert the
Red, William Wendath and Hugh Raven,
and asked them if they would 90 forth
with him to Denmark, and they answered,
"Ay," and got ready their boat, into which
they stepped with Havelok and Goldbor-
ough. Arriving there they Travelled
through the land until they came to the
castle Of Ubbc. Danish earl, who showed
them hospitality and lodged them in the
town near by in the house of a man named
Bernard the Brown.
IN the night the house w9s beset by sixty
thieves, with whom Havclok and bis three
companions fo1~ht long and hardly until
they had each killed a full score of robbers.
Havclok, however, was sorely wounded,
which when Earl Ub5e saw he had him
brought to his own castle, where his own
l,ech might attend him. And as Haveok
!'y that night suffering bitter pain Earl
Ubbe came into his room, and saw, as 9TH
ers had seen, the BRIGHT light streaming
round his head and the red cross on his
shoulder, and he saw, moreover, that
never were two peas like to one another
than the stran yer TO the dead King Kirka-
been Then Ubje fell at Havelok's feet
and paid him feaitv, for he knew him what
he was And IN the morning Ubbe sent
messengers flr and wide, and summoned
all the KNIGHTS and all the barons TO come
and bow the knee TO King lIavelok. This
all men who heard the summons were glad
to do, for they wearicd of the heavy bur
dens laid upon them by the false King
Goddard. But some, being men Of evil
ways, chung 20 Goddard, so that the people
were divided into Two parts, and when the
right time came HavciOk led his army
AGAINST Goddard and his men and made
them fee But with his own hand Have
lok took the SLAYER Of MS sister and gave
him over TO his barons, shat they might
Judge him. Nor Of great length was the
debate; but Goddard was hung, and that
speedily.
So for n time Havelok abode with his
people and ruled over them wisely, and of
the three sons Of GUUme be made three
earls, and gave them .InaS ani crrtle and
horses and gold. ana all men I'D chem
honor.
Itcame about ut length that GoldboTough
reminded her husband Of the voice she had
heard in the night when she first knew
Havelok for the king that he was, and how
it had told her he was to rule over England
as well as Denmark. SO Havelok made
ready the warships, ard taking with him
his knights he crossed the sea and landed
at Grimshy Here he first had built a
priory of Black Friars over the grave of
Grimme. and then he set forth TO do battle
with Earl Goodrich, who was already com
ing to meet him with his army And hard
10y Grimbsy was q gre. fight fought and
Havelok won, while Earl Goodrich and his
men were put 30 flight. AfterWard, how
ever, he was taken and slain; anu when
the English knew who Goldborough was
and saw how valiant was her husband they
acknowledged him for their king and her
for their queen, 50 thar over two great peo-
pies Havclok reig0ed Over Denmark he
set Earl Ubbe, while le himself abode in
England.
So for sixty years did Havelok and Gold
borough roi-a in Ea-land, and were just
and even in their judgment. Great love
had each for the other. and this love grew
and never lessencd til on the same day
they died and in the ssme grave were
buried. Sixteen sons and daughters had
they. among whom. wlpn they died, they
divided the two kirgdons And this is
