sound of his footsteps in the passage.
But the Sieur Rudel came not, and
she sent u messenger to inquire why
he tarried, and the messenger brought
word and said:
He is with the maiden Solita in the
tower"
Then the princess stumbled as though
she were about TO fall, and her women
came about her. But she waved them
back with her hand, and so stood shiv-
ering for a little. The night blows
cold she said; Il would the lamps
were lit And when her servants had
lighted the council-chamber, she sent
yet another message to Sieur Rudel,
biddinglv him instantly come TO her,
and waited in great bitterness of spirit.
For she remembered how that she had
promised TO grant him the boon that
he should ask, and much she feared
that she knew what that boon was.
Now we leave the Princess Joceliande
and HE before her messenger to the
chamber Of Solita. NO pearls or pur-
pie robes had she to clad her beauty
in. but a simple gown of white wool
fastened with a silver girdle about the
waist, and her hair she loOsed so
that it rippled down her shoulders and
nestled round her ears and face.
Thither the Sieur Rudel came straight
from the sea, and
Love" he said, kissing her. cit has

and yet more weary for thee than for

Yet. my dear lord" she replied, the
princess did give me this mirror, where
in | could see myself from top to toe,
and a great comfort has it been to Re.
For thus could l behold what my lord
loves"
So she snake and the messenger from
the Princess brake in upon them, bid
DIM the Sieur Rudel hasten TO the
couDcil-chamber for that JOceliande
waited this long while for his coming.
Now will | ask for the fulfillment of
her promise said Rudel TO Solita and
tonight. sweet. I will claim thee before
the whole court" With that he got
him from the chamber and, following
the messenger, came to whore the Prin-
cess awaited him.

forgets his duty? And now I would
that of your gentleness you would grant
me your maiden Solita for wife"
That may not" returned j. celiande
stricken to the soul at that image Of a
second queen. "A nameless child and
my handmaiden! Sieur kudel it be-
fits man to look above him for wife.
And that, madame" he answered,
"in very truth | do. Moreover, though
no man knows SOlita's parentage and
place, yet must she be Of gentle nur-
ture. else had there been no silk sail
to float her hitherwards; and so much
it liketh you to grant my boon, for
Gods love, pray you, hold your prom
ise."
Thereupon was the Princess sore dis
tressed for that she had given her
uromise. Howbeit she said: Since
il is So. and since my maiden Solita is
the boon you crave, | give her you; "
and so dismissed the Sieur Rudel from
her presence, and getting her back to
her chamber, made moan out CT all
measure.
Lord Jesu," she cried, "of all my
kingdom and barony, but one thing
did 7 hunger for and covet, and that

At this solita kept silence, deeming
il unnecessary to make reply. II might
be as the Princess said with other men
and other women, but the Sleur Rudel
had no likeness to other men, ana IN
possessing the Sieur RudeIs love she
was far removed from other women.
Therefore did she keep silence, but
Joceliande fancied she was troubled by
the words which she had spoken anu
straightway repented her OF them.

and so she entertained Sir Broyance
right pleasantly until the Sieur Rudel
should get him back from the foray
Meanwhile she should say to Sofia:

But despite them both aid the Sieur
Rudel voyage to BrOye and rule over
the kingdom as its king, and how that
came about We shall hear
Now on the fourth day after the
coming of Sir BrOyance, the Princess
Jccaliandc was leaning over the balus-
ter OF her balcony and gazing seaWard
as was her wont. The hours had
drawn toward evening and the sun
stood like a glowing wheel upon the
fartherest edge Of the seas gray door,
when she beheld a black speck crawl
across its globe, and then another and
another. TO the number Of thirty.
Thereupcn she knew that the Sieur
RuGel had retained, and joylully she
summoned her tirewomen and babe
them Golf and robe her as beltted
princess. A coronet Of gold and rubies
they set upon her head, and a robe Of
purple they hung about her shoulders.
With pearls they laced her neck and
her arms, ana with pearls they shod
her feet. and when she saw the ships
riding at their anchorage, and the Sieur
Rudel step forth amid the shouts OF
the sailors, then she hied her to the
council chamber and prepared to give
him instant audience. Yet for all her
Jewels and rich attire, she trembled like
a common wench at the approach ot
her lover. and feared that the loud
beating Of her heart would drown the

MINERS ARE LONESOME.
Grea. Chance for Marriageabie Girls
A Touching Appeal.

1t is not good for man to be alone.
No matter how friendly his environ
ment may otherwise be, nor how pros
perity may crown his labors, nor how
II UGH Of prestige he may enjoy, life
will be in very real sense failure
il he denies himself the helpful COM
panionship for which his nature is
fitted.
Certain miners in some of the mining
districts of British Columbia seem re-
Gently to have awakened to this con-
ciusion, and they have sent out Wig
orous appeal for helpmates. We are
told that in some of these mining
camps there are ten men to one woman.
The men ore prosperous, the laws of
the country being 50 severe as to
gambling and Incorporate habits that
temptations which ordinarily address
themselves to persons of this class
have no influence. But in the midst
of all this prosperity they find them
selves lonesome, and they have caused
it to be announced that very con-
siderable number Of marrageable girls
can find good husbands by emigrating
10 these mining districts We are told
that i'm Montreal and other towns of
Canada the matter has been taken up
somewhat seriously by young mar
rlageable women, and that company
of them will emigrate early in the
spring. 1t is said that altogether 500
nice girls could be supplied with very
excellent husbands.
We cannot see any reason at al why
the invitation should not be accepted
We are, of course, aware that some of
our oldfashioned folks will say that
there would be great Improperly in
marriages consummated under such
conditions; but we have Y suspicion
that they would not in the main be
much more so than many society mar
riages of our more civilized cOmmuni-
ties, which result, in a very large per-
centage of eases, in speedy applica-
lions for divorce, in social scandals and
in demoralzing contributions to our
newspaper literature. We are wei
convinced, too, that no greater benefac-
tion could be bestowed upon British
Columbia than the establishment Of
homes in the mining communities
