CHAPTER X1II.-(Continued)

CHAPTER N1lI.-(Contnued)
The feet of the Turks vas turned about
| toward the coast of France, the captured
ships of burden, that had contained the
most of the boy crusaders, being sent
away to the east, while the gnlleys HOY
cred in a long line, with brOad intervals
between their prizes and any strange yes
sells that might he sent out to rescue the
children. When they were almost out of
! sight, Dragut, in his stately ship. headed
a squadron of twenty galleys and sailed
| for the port of MarscileS in sight Of
which he arrived during the night, being
warned of his vicinity by the lights on the
coast. and lying by for the period of dark
ness till the rising sun showed the city of
Marseilles before them.
Then galley with n white flag was sent
forward, having the hermit and Blanche
on board, and rowed into the harbor amid
q great scene of excitement on the part of
| the citizens.
At first it was thought that the Turks
meditated descent on the town, and the
bells were rung from the church steeples,
while the citizens ran to arms i'll haste.
When it was perceived that only one
vessel was coming to the harhor. the
! alarm was somewhat moderated; but a
galley belonging to the military order of
the Knights of st. John, which was the
only armed craft in the harhor, began to
get ready for sea, with the idea of dan
ger, till the form of the hermit was seen
on the high prov Of the Turkish galley
and recognized at once.
Then all sorts of rumors flew about the
town. but by the time the galley reached
! the water stairs and sent the hermit and
the girl on shore in a boat, people had
realized the truth. They had seen the de
parture of the Children's Crusade, two
days before, with the singing of hymns,
and now they saw its leader returning a
| prisoner TO the Turks.
| When the hermit and his youthful com
| panion had been set Oh shore with them
! came a formal letter from the Turkish
! admiraL Dragut Aga, in which he stated
! the terms on which alone he would re-
lease the Christian children that had fall
en- into his hands.
He demanded for each child a ransom Of
ten pieces of gold, of the coinage then call
cd "ducats," from the legend stamped on
| Them which ended in the word ''ducato,"
meaning ''duchy." they having been coin
ed first in the duchy of Palermo, in Sicily.
The value Of the ducat in those times was
about two dollars and half of our
money in gold; but as the price of gold
was just three times what it is now, the
ransom demanded for each child was
| about sevcnty-five dollars, as it would be
counted in our times.
This seems a small sum, but in those
days, when money was very scarce, it was
heavy enough.
The reading of the admral's letter, with
the news of the captivity of the children,
created such scene of weeping and wall
ing as had never been seen in Marseilles
since the times of the first crusade, when
Peter the Hermit had preached the woes
of the pilgrims.
Poor Father Iidebrand, the cause of
all, was overwhelmed with the reproaches

ENGLIsHFARMING PROFITLESS
Agriculture Beggars Everyone Who
Engages in 1t.

Engages III Its
Compared with other and rougher Coun-
tries it Is curious to note the ceaseleSs
nature of the work needful TO the carry
ing on of an English farm. We have
brought cultivation to such pitch of SCI
ence that every day has its appropriate
and necessary labor, without which all
would be spoiled. Yet the pity of 1t Is
that, Notwithstanding the care, knowr
edge and intelligence which are put into
the working of the land, under present
conditions ii can scarcely be made 20
pay. The machinery works, the mil
goes round. the la horerS earn their wage,
and the beast his provender; the good
man rises early and rests late. taking
thought for the day and the morrow, hut
when at MichaelmaS he balances MS
books there is no return, and 10. the
baillff stands within the gates. Although
there have been CLEANS of hope during
the past year III our parts the ancient
industry of agriculture is nearly mort
bund, and if the land is farmed fairly 1t
is in many instances being worked at a
loss or at any rate without living protlt.
The reader may say that tins Is I'M
possible. that no one would carry on the
business under these conditions. yet ii is
still carried on in many cases from sheer
force of habit or because those who
practice it have nothing else t" which
To turn. The small farmers only too
often keep up the game till they are beg
CARED. when they adjourn to the work
house or to live upon the charity of
their friends. The larger farmers 20 on
until they are absolutely IMPOVERISHED
and retire into a cottage or, = they are
Fortunate, find a position as steward
upon some estate. The landlords with
farms upon their hands work them with
capital borrowed at high interest from
the bank till they can let them upon any
terms TO any sort of tenant. Unless
they have private means to draw on. or
are able to earn money, into their end
it is best not to inquire; they sink and
sink till they vanish beneath the surface
of the great sea of English society and
their ancient homes and accustomed
place are filled by the successful spec
uhtor or south African millionaire. -
