noble Sir Marhaus, in this conflict with
you, and moreover l hope to Tree Cornwall
forever from the tribute to Ireland. To
and vaior.'
"'Tis well spoken, fair knight, and
honor your spirit. But you will lose no
honor by standing well from me. For
King Arthur made me not knight of his
Table Round for nothing"
Think not fear you And If I show
the white feather in this encounter, then
may never bear weapons again"
So saying Tristram drew back, and both
knights took their places.
At the signal they rushed at each other
their spears at rest, and with such force
did they come together that both were
unseated and fell heavily to earth. But
Tristram received wound in the side
that bled profusely.
On foot they then fought; striking and
foiling; thrusting and sparring: rushing
together with furious force and drawing
back with heedful watchfulness; while
sword clashing on armor sounded like the
ringing of the anvil.
Four hours the conflict lasted and Mar
tram felt strong as ever. Then raising b s
sword he put all his force into his right
arm, and striking down, smote Sir Mar
haus on the helmet; through the helmet
and head till the sword remained fast in
the skull. With all his might he tried to
draw it out, but the edge remained, and
| Marhaus dropped on his knees. In q
moment, however, he was up, and throw
ing down his sword and shield fed to the
ship groaning, and they sailed away, while
Tristram called after him:
"How now, Sir Knight of the Table
Round Why DO you fee? Rather would
| be cut into thousand pieces than fly
rom my enemy. Your shield and sword
1 shall keep and shall wear them in the
presence of King Arthur and the Round
| Table to show them that Marhaus has
fallen and that Cornwall is not a land of
cravensp
| Then in exhaustion he fell down, and
his squire found him SO and carried him
to the castle, where for a month he lay ill
of his wounds.
Then it was found that he was poisoned
| by the blade of Marhaus' weapon, and a
! wise woman said that only in the land
from which the poison came could he be
cured.
So Tristram went to Ireland, and under
I the name of Tramtrist was received by
King Anguish himself, who. hearing his
exquisite music on the harp, wished TO
keep him by him. So Tristram was cured
by the fair Isolde, the daughter of King
Anguish. And they knew not that 1t was
he that had slain Marhaus. For the knight
! died after reaching the shore, and the
| Queen saved the blade from his head that
she might avenge her broth er's death.
| But she knew not that Tristram was the
man. And so he dwelt with them, and
played upon the harp, and taught the
| fair Isolde to play too. And so the sum-
mer days passed by and both were happy.

mo55'g : Sweet Jee>h.

Grandpa Griffin lived in the city, and
Tom and LCella were always delighted
when he came to the country to make
them visit. He always brought some
thing that pleased them. Once it was a
beautiful doll for Luella and ball for
Tom. Another time Tom got velocipede
and Luella carriage for her doll. This
time it was only a pound of nice, fresh
candy, to be divided between the two chill
dren. In passing through the hall
grandpa laid the package on the lower
step of the stairway.
The little folks began to think that
grandpa had forgotten them this time,
when he suddenly thought of the candy
and told them where to find it. They ran
quickly into the hall and there was Mufi
on the step where grandpa had left the
candy. The box was torn open and only
two tiny pieces of candy were in it. Muft
had his paw on the broken box.
When he saw the children he wagged
his tail playfully, aud seemed to say that
he had enjoyed the candy very much. He
did not know that he had robbed Tom
and Luella of grandpa's present. They
knew that Muff had sweet tooth, but who
would have thought that even a big dog
could eat a whole pound of candy 2-Sun-

might safely ride, so off we started, one
taking turn at trudging through the
dust in the heat. while the other rode.
Finally we came to large building. in
which there were many windows.
Mounted on the donkey, was just high
enough to peep through one OF the win
dows, and saw roomful OF men. In
front OF them one stood reading, while all
the others listened with grave faces.
sKatie," said (very polite to my COM
pany, wasn't I0, suppose you go IN
there and ask one of those men to come
out and tighten our saddle, while l wait
here.'
She took my advice and soon returned,
leading by the hand very fine looking
gentleman, whose face was beamlng with
| smiles. He solemnly frightened the glrth
and helped US to mount. We thanked
him and went on our way.
We arrived at Susie's safe and sound,
and were warmly welcomed.
While eating the lovely dinner which
Susie's kind mother set before US we re-
lated the story of our loosened saddle
and how we had sought and found help.
We were very much surprised and per-
picked when Susie's folks received our
story with shouts of laughter which we
thought would never come to an end.
Finally when the merriment had some
what subsidized l asked to be told the joke.
''Do you know. my DEAR" said Susie's
father, that you two little girls actually
stopped the Legislature in order that your
| saddle girth might be tightened?"
"One of the gravest and most learned
OF our Lawmakers hailed me on the street
a few moments before dinner-time to tell
me how little dusty girl with perspira.
tion streaming over her face had boldly
walked into their great hall this morning
and asked him to please come out and
fasten her donkey's saddle, and how all
law-making stopped until he returned.
The legislators thought it fine joke nd
had good laugh, but | had no idea that
you were the girls. Hal ha! ha!'
We were forced to laugh ourselves, and
felt a little abashed and a little proud OF
the fact that we had been the means of
stopping for a short time the work OF one
legislature.

Afraid Of the darkl All! never, knowl
For tits there that the fairies will whisper it
low;
A tale of their lovely green messy retreat
Where to dance in the twilight together they
meet.
Where the will-o'-wlsp comes with his pretty
bright light
To inumine the dance in the long, starry
night.
In the dark and the silence, when no one is
near.
The fairies will whisper, then listen, and hearl
They'll tell where the wind hides on calm,
summer days,
And where the bees rest from their long hon.
eyed ways.
All! yes; where stars keep their watch in the
skies,
They'll tell you their secrets, my pretty blue
eyes.
NO problems of living, no long, troubled
nights,
But only to dream of the childish delights,
And only o hearken while fairies unfold
Their sweet sylvan secrets that never grow old.
Then afraid OF the dark you never need be,
For tits then that the fairies will whisper to
thee. CoRINE L. BARTLETT.

| 1t was a day early in June, but the heat
was so intense that the flowers nodd ed
wearily on their stems. and the songs of
the dear little wood birds were hushed.
| We were living on a farm about two
miles from Phoenix, Ariz.
Any one who has ever visited that part
of the country during the summer months
knows how very warm it is, and this day
seemed to be the very hottest of the sea-
son.
| 1t was vacation. and Katie, friend OF
mine, was spending hers with me.
Well, we had made our plans to visit
another friend this day who lived in the
| outskirts of Phoenix.
We had written 10 her OF our intend ed
visit, and could not disappoint her, al
though we gladly would have postponed
our trip until cooler weather; and besides,
all of our horses were to be used by q
party who were going on hunting ex-
pedition. Fortunately l owned little
donkey, so we determined that we both
should ride him.
When all was ready off we started, in
gay spirits, each carrying a basket con-
tanning little lu nch.
We logged along for about mile, chat
ting and singing and full OF life. Suddenly
l felt the saddle slip. slip, from side to
side and exclaimed, "Oh, Katie. what shall
we do? Our saddle is loose I"
As she was city girl she knew nothing
about tightening it, and as / had been a
cou ntry girl only short time was as
ignorant as she.
What shall we do?'' asked Katie.
"Well, I'm hungry, aren't your" Yes"
Suppose we eat our lunch then, and think
while we eat" was my reply.
Both jumped down, and leading our
little donkey to tree, we soon had him
secured, although there was not much
danger OF his running away.
Seating ourselves under another tree,
we went to work at our luncheon, which
tasted fine, and then each took a trial at
tightening the saddle, but with very poor
success.
We concluded finally that one of us

shed such quantities of tears that he had
his last calabash filled in no time. Then
he slung his three calabashes over his
shoulder and hurried back to the Father
OF Beasts. When the father saw the red
snake and the swarm of wasps and the
bottle of tears he smiled and said, .sYou

him, placed his hands upon his head and
bade him depart, as his valor dictated to
him. So, before long, Tristram had
