lied forces at Stamford bridge, near
York, where both of these misguided
leaders bit the dust. Previous to the
battle there was a brief parley, and the
king told Tostig the best he could do
with him. And what can you give my
ally, Hardrada?' q%ueried the astute
Tostig. Seven feet of English ground"
answered the king roguishly, "or posi-
bly, more, as Hardrada is rather taller
than the average" or words to that
effect. Then let the fight go on!' an
swered Tostig, taking a couple Of hard
boiled eggs from his pocket and crack
ing them on the pommel Of his saddle,
for he had not eaten anything but a
broiled shote since breakfast.
That night both he and Hardrada &C.
cupied a double grave on the right hand
side of the road leading to York.

CHAPTER VII.
Let us now lock for a moment into
Che reigns Of Harold l and HaTdicanute,
"a pair of unpopular reigns, which, al
though brief, We're yet long enough.
Queen Emma, Of course, desired the
coronation Of Hardicanute; but, though
supported by Earl Goodwin, a man of
great influence and educated to a high
degree for his timetable indeed, it is
said. at II moments notice, to add up
fhings and reduce things to Il common
denOminatOr-it could not be.
Harold, the compromise candidate,
reigned from 1887 to 1910. He gained
Goodwin to his side, and together they
cured the sons Of Emma by Ethelred-
viz, Alfred and Edward-to town, and,
as q sort of royal practical joke, put out
.Alfred's eyes, causing his death.
Harold was Il swift sprinter and was
called 'HmrefoOt' by those who We're
intimate enough to exchange calls and
coarse anecdotes with HIM.
He died in 1910 A. D., and nobody
ever had a nlCre general approval for
doing 50 chan Harold.
Hardicanute now carne forth from his
apartments and was received as king
with every demonstration Of joy, and
FOR some weeks he and dyspepsia had it

port says that he drank. Several times
while undtr the influence Of liquor he
rsbdicated the throne with a dull thud,
but WIS reinstated by the police.)
Enraged by the death Of Alfred, the
king had the remains of Harold exhum.
ed and thrown into a fen. This a-fen-
sive act showed what a great big, broad
nature Hardicanute had; also the kind
Of timber used in making IA king in
those days.
Goodwin, however, seems to have been
a good political acrobat and was on
more sdies Of more questions than any
body else Of Those times. Though con.
nected with the white cap affair by
; which Alfred lost his eyesight and hi
aife, he proved an alibi, or spasdomdit

JINKS IN BOHEMIA.
The Grouping of the Gloomy Brother
hood Last Night in Their Owl
Haunted Castle.


1t was a true night in Bohemia last
evening at the sacred Bohemian Castle,
corner of Post street and Grant avenue.
AT the call of DR.. julius Rosenstirn, Sire
of the High Jinks, the warriors, priests
and kings OF the unconventional brother
hood strolled in by ones, and twos, and
other numbers until all the light (hearted)
OF the world was gathered within those
walls.
The object OF this grouping of these rest
less beings of Bohemia was profound
consideration of problems" in hfe-stlll
life.
Samuel NJ. Shortridge, George T. Brom-
ley, General w. II. l.. Barnes and Will
liam Sproul, orators all, fuently shed ad-
ditional darkness upon the subject under
discussion until the ebon gloom over
flowed the apartment and fitted like black
wreaths out through the windows TO
mingle with kindred night. So opaque
were the arguments and interpretations
that the wooden owl from his perch amid
the shadows hooted in shrill amaze.
After the distant cathedral clock had
told the nightly meridian Hugo Toland,
sire of the Low Jinks, called Mephisto
from his neither realms TO pass before the
XXX-Ray for a scientific pose OF the
"altogether."
When the first gleam OF dawn stole over
the eastern hill Bohemia was a banquet
hall deserted and the owl was hootless and
dead in his tower.

ZION CHURCH rs SAVED.
1t Will Bear Neither Paddock nor Har-
Dor the Presence Of the
Sheriff.

Neither paddock nor Sheriff is to be al
lowed to desecrate the First African Meth
odist Episcopal Zion Church, for the Rev.
George c. Jackson, who refused to longer
snatch brands from the burning without
compensation, is to be paid his claim on
Tuesday next.
The prompt and drastic action of ]. j.
Rauer. the assignee of the claim of the
eolored preacher, struck CONSERVATION into
the souls of the trustees of the unfortu-
nate church and they invaded the Office OF
Rauer nearly all morning, and as the re-
suit of their consultation with their obdu-
rate creditor. they agreed to arrange for
a loan with the Hibernia Bank and to
settle the S223 claim of their ex-pastor in
full on Tuesday next.
Meanwhile the work of salvation among
the local colored brethren will be uninter-
rupted so far as the Zion Church is con-
cerneu, as Preacher Jackson's place has
been filled.

Leila Adair VIII Go Up In Balloon
and Tumble To-Day.
The Chutes will be open from 10 o'clock
in the morning to-day until IL at night. The
Haight-street grounds are only open on
Saturdays and Sundays and advantage is
taken of the open spell to enjoy the many
attractions offered at this outdoor place
of amusement.
Leila Adair, the woman who does not
seem to know what fear is, will make a
balloon ascension and parachute drop
during the afternoon. Her aerial trip two
weeks ago was only married by the failure
of her 'cutaway" knife to operate She
had to come down with the parachute,
balloon and all, and as she is renowned
for long parachute leaps she was disap-
pointed. Unusual preparations have been
made for successful imitation OF the bal
loon, and unless the wind is very high the
airship will have a good start off the
ground.
