into forewarning of disaster. But the
unconquerable knight, then known
merely as the duke of Normandy, hold

chung to his hands, exclaimed: Il have
seized England with my two hands,

"a prophecy which he most terribly
fulfilled at the sanguinary battle of
Hastings in 1866.
Shortly after his coronation at West
minister abbey upon Christmas day, he
sent for Matilda, acting in his absence
as duchess-regent of Normandy, and a
few days after Easter he had himself
re-crowned at Winchester that Matilda
might be made queen. AT this corona

the many kindnesses shown to him in
Normandy, Harold thereupon swore to
aid William in securing the throne of
England, which Edward the Confessor
had promised, upon his death, to the
duke of Normandy. Scarcely had the
English king breathed his last, how
ever, when Harold turned traitor to
those who had befriended him, disputed
the succession which William claimed,
and undertook to place the crown upon
his own head.
Outraged by this treachery, William
FASTENED to England to make good his
claim by dispossessing Harold. His sue

Harold was slain, won for him the priv

death of Harold and that of Matilda in
1888. She was undoubtedly the main
spring of the undertaking, however,
and made her needle tell a more real
istic and enduring story than did the
quilts of the court chroniclers.
Notwithstanding the general fear
which William the Conqueror inspired,
Matilda seemed to stand in no awe of

Matilda, daughter of Baldwin v,
count of Flanders, has the distinction
of being the first consort of an English
king accorded the title Of queen. Her
husband, known as William the Con-
queror, had no patience with the An
glo-Saxon law (the result of Edburga' S
having poisoned her husband, the king
of Wessex) which debarred the wives
of kings from a share in royalty and
substituted the title of 1.-The Lady, His
Companion" for the more regal one.
In fact, the bold William respected no
laws or omens except those of his own
creation. Upon his arrival on the coast
of England, he stumbled and fell and

The residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. w.
Felt on Fourth street presented fes-
tive scene last evening on the occasion
of the marriage of Mr.. Charles Dahl
quist and Miss Matte Built. The nup-
tial knot was tied by Bishop o. F.
Whitney as the bride and groom stood
in the bay window under a canopy and
drapings artistically hung with a
wealth of sego lilies and smilax. The
bride was attired in a lovely gown
of dove gray, and her two little nieces
Miss Dottie Felt and Miss Nettie Law
son, gowned in white and carrying dali
sizes, were her attendants. The rooms
were prettily decorated with sego ILL
les, one of the artistic effects being
streamers of ribbons dotted with the
state flower hanging in festoons from
the chandelier to the corners of the
banquet table. Refreshments were
served, and music, singing and social
converse made the hours pass all too
quickly.
Before being driven to their future
home at No. 4 Thornton avenue, the
happy young couple were showered
with congratulations and hearty
wishes. The guests at the wedding re-
ception were:

last. 1t was with a feeling of pro-
found relief and thankfulness that /
finally swung over the bulwark and
dropped upon the deck.
There were as many as threescore
people standing about. Other than
the sailors there were six or eight men
and as many women that were very
well dressed, and nearly all that were
talking seemed to be employing good
Castilian. Not many were of the
swarthy type of Spaniard.
AS jumped off the rail the captain
shouted to his first officer to fill away,
and then turning to me asked in a
brusque but not harsh tone what it
was that had happened to us, and
what we were doing in these parts.
"Those questions and others 1 will
gladly answer" I said, touching my
hat, "but first beg that you will care
for this lady, who is not alone fatlgued
but stands otherwise in need Of your
hospitality"
He looked at me, as though not e1-
pecting such a precise and perhaps
well-chosen answer, but after a mo-
ment answered civilly,
every well, senior, THAI is not unrea-
sonable. 1 will see what may be done"
He turned to the ring of eager and
curious women and said, with rough
sort OF salute:
"You have heard the senior, ladies.
Are there those among you who will
take the senorita and care for her?"
"si, ST" cried dozen generous voices
together.
With which they pressed forward
and with southern warm-heartedness
flung their arms about Dona Carmen,
and almost carried her away.
"And now, senior, we will overhaul
you Bit" resumed the captain. "But
first, as to your boat. Is she worth
preserving? If she is no better than
she looks, care not to tow her very
far"
First bear with me till have asked
question" answered. "Whither are
you bound?"
"For Panama" he replied, trife
impatiently.
"Alas, senor," said, sadly, "you will
scarce go there; Panama is in the
hands of the buccaneersl"
"Diablo! what say you?" he cried,
starting. "In the hands of the buc-
caneers-of the English piratos2 Nay,

Those standing about caught the
words and a great stir followed. Sew
eral pressed forward, and without
further regarding the captain began
to ask eager questions, and some fu-
riously swore. In the midst of the
hubbub a stout, sturdy, gray-haired
man, with fresh complexion and very
well dressed, pushed his way to the

Some men came running that way,

Mac Ivrach was there to receive it, and
