over the Get.7here Road
What does It cost to get to There.
Tho There OF marvellous mentionf
Only a soul OF smallest breed.
Only n life OF grasping greed.
Only heart which does not heed
Another's right or plight or need.
But holds Its own Intention
I saw one left to n loathsome pest
For that Ia the Get-There mode.
One picked the purse OF his wrotched guest,
one trod rough. shed on a sweethesrts breast.

Told at the Edge Of the Northern Sea, and
Written for This Paper.

evening supper and laid out for our
selves all the best we could put our
hands on. And fierce, wild revelry my
fellows made Of 1t. The hot blood OF
raplne and plllage had got into their
veins and they heated II higher with the
strong, abundant drink from that Brit
ish chleftain's hiding places, until they
were more like tawny, handsome band
OF furies than mortal men-godsl
think never brought such a crew OF
devils to that shore before. They made
the rafters ring with their wild pagan
hymns they danced and shouted and
ate and drank, while the pale captive
girls stood budding In the shadows or
waited trembling on them, and the wine
and ale went streaming down the floor
among the blood and litter, and the
torches Aared, and the dogs howled out
side. Oh, it was strange, wild revelry
and went on for half the nighttime.
II must have been near the dawn and
most Of the maidens lay swooning upon
the floor between WEAKNESS and terror,
and half the rovers were drunk as
swine, when they fetched in the dead
chieftain, setting him, pale and bloody,
in his chair, and putting cup into his
hands while the ribaldest fellow there
made song and sung 1t to him. Then
next cry arose-who started 1t know
not, but may God forgive him-for the
English frankllns daughter! We had
not seen her--she was not among the
captlves-and now hundred buxom
fellows we're on foot hunting with torch
and lamp high and low in every crack
and corner Of the burgh to find her.
Unhappy damsel, they hunted futilely
everywhere until they came to the
small round tower on the cliff verge;
there the strong oak door was barred
and shut from within, and wild yell of
drunken pleasure told their quarry was
OF bay.
What was it that made me just then
80 sick Of all that revelry and sat like a
black foreboding on my soul2 know
not, but turned, and, weary Of the
glare and tumult, slowly left the burgh
and walked down to the beach, where
lay my ship, just as the men were max
ing tall mound of sticks and heath and
timbers about the door of the doomed
tower that held the silent princess.

those who had stood by the Wolf tc
make all ready for the SEQ, then threw
myself down listless, strangely sad, anc
chilly as one in ague, by my place a.
the tiller to await the coming of the
pillagers. And presently, one by one,
the sons Of the creek came Keeling dowr
the path, singing as they stumbled
down the darkness and carrying bundles
and bags, and furs, and cups, ant
weapons in sheafs, and dragging falter-
ing slaves, and surly, snarling dogs ii
leashes, and so at last when they were
all on board but one, that one came run
ming down the path, and before he haC
got half way to us the burgh was al
illuminated with a rosy light, and look
ing up we saw that the laughing villain
had fired 1t in twenty places, and no
only the dwellings but also the grea
mound of fuel his friends had bull
against the tower door.

lean and old, and my merry fellows
made short work with him, and he 10y
in the moonlight as they left him, pale
and bloody across his threshold, all the
evening.
Then we shut the gates to keep the
screaming women in and lit stack or
two to give us light and so fell on. But
why should l try to tell you all we did
that evening? Why should I try to
picture the wild, fierce hell Of lust and
cruelty and rapine that ragged within
those grassy shambles under the mild
white starlight? And If had hundred
pens l could not tell each incident as it
befell, and if l did you might not care
to listen. If l had q hundred pens 1
could scarce recount how, one by one,
we first dragged the men from their
hiding places, and how some Of them
fought desperately, while some sub
mitted sullenly, but whichever way it
was we killed them. Or how the women
screamed and struggled in the arms of
the sea rovers and cried for mercy and
tore the yellow boards Of their new,
grimly laughing masters, and were sent
down to hades, the old and lean ones,
and how the others-the pale, fair girls,
with fear-bright eyes and long, loose
hair and bare feet, all in their torn, di-
shevelled night gear-were bound hand
and foot and dashed to the pillars In the
dining-hall, or how the little ones
moaned and walled, and hid behind the
heaps Of dead and strove to wake with
timid petulance those who would never
wake again, or, often, with their cher
lshed playthings locked tightly within
their arms, crept into wondrous corners
and hid from us-ask me no smaller de-
tail, for could surfeit you with horrors
until compassion dimmed your eyes and
stayed your reading!
For an hour the place was full Of the
cultural shouts Of men and the shrieks
OF women, the scream of the maiden and
cry of the mother losing her little one;
the wall Of the captive and the moan Of
the dying down in the shadows; and
men ran here and there struggling with
white-shrouded forms, or dragging by
heel or ha r strange shapes into dusky
corners, and the fires blazed and the
sparks fell-and then, presently, be-
cause there were no more to kill, the
noise died down until presently silence
relgned, broken only by the laughing
and shouting Of my men, and thus we
gathered in the hall, relit the lamps,
brushed of the remnants Of the earlier

moment Of wildly mingled feelings, l
was out upon the burning parapet, and
there upon her knees, leaning against
the outer walls, and seeming asleep was
the white maid whose fair face had
haunted my forest path and shone upon
me through the drift and reck OF ten
years storm and battle.
Down / went upon one knee and,
deep, strong love and gentle compunc-
ton yelling up in my heart, took the
maiden's head upon my shoulder and
her hand in mine, and in minute she
gave great, shivering gasp Of pain and
fear and opened her eyes and looked up.
BY sweet Skulla herself, it was nearly
worth the interval of pain to see the
glad light Of pleasure that was lit with
in them as they met mine, to feel the
warm clasp Of her hand and to
know unspoken that our hearts
were one and our troth unbroken. II

CHAPTER VII.

Up came our anchor and out we
lurched upon the waves once more. We
set sail and drifted slowly down under
the cliff where stood the castle, and as
we came the fire ragged furiously until
when we were below that beetling brow
we were sailing on heaving molten sea
of blood, and all our spars and cordage
were shining copper red, and all the up
turned faces Of the vikings were flushed
and hectic in the shine-and then-oh,
how can l write it?-just as we came
the nearest o white woman's form
stepped frantic out on top Of the tower
and clasped her hands across her eyes,
and hid her face and wept. And l-oh
the flercest, strangest gust OF agony
and Joy sprang up within my heart-I
gasped and glared, and, all forgetting
the strangeness Of it in the horror Of
the moment, dropped the tiller, and
leaping to the clanking bulwarks stared
another moment, and then, out Of my
deepest heart, out Of the hot inspiration
Of my very soul, burst a fierce, wild cry
Of "Gunna"
And in an instant that white form was
on her feet and staring terror-dazed at
us, and then she saw me by the shrouds
as l stood llmned in gold, with all my
ship against the black setting of the
night, and gazed down steadfastly up
on me for minute, then clapped her
hands upon her bosom and stretched
them wildly to me, and above the hiss
ing of the flame and the thud of the
white surf upon the rocks heard her
cry, "Ulla! Ullal"
And now the strength Of twenty iarls
was in my heart. l tossed off as though
they were baby fingers the strong grip
Of two stout fellows who thought to
stay me and in minute was in the surf
and striking out bravely for the land.
The great frothy pillows of the tide
boiled for space under my chin, and
now I was deep down In q huWming
black sea valley and anon mast high
upon curling crest of spume, and then,
all In the black shadow of the cliff, the
black waters seemed to dissolve into a
hell OF ghostly chaos and white thunder,
and my feet touched the pebbly bottom.
| landed somehow, but how only the
pale Norns can tell, and scrambled up a
sheep track the boldest Of my men had
said in daylight was impossible; came
to the palisades and clambered over
them, and rolled into the fort on top OF
two mangled bodies, and up again, and
now, in tho golden shine of the fire,
rushed to the great hall.
There In his chair Of state was the
dead chief just as my robbers had left
him, with mouth wide open and fixed
eyes staring grimly down his hall and
golden wine cup clinched within his
fingers and bloody night gear wrapped
about him, while on his face the streaks
Of pain and anger twitching with a
hldeous mockery OF life as the smoke
curled and the flames went soaring over
head in rosy eddies To right and left
was wild disorder, tables overturned
and benches cast about, broken flagons
and squandered victuals, bent swords
and cleft targets, and costly stuffs pulled
into shreds and dead men a-sprawl upon
their faces, and blood and dirt and lit

fierce song as it mounted from point to
point In the roof and shed great burning
