In an abandonment OF fury, he shook Dotn
fists high over his head at the scattered star
faces that were peering out Of the pale sky.
Not till he had turned and stamped away
over the swapping twigs CID his men come
out of their trance of bewilderment.
AS they resumed their climbing. Eyvind

Passing amused comments, they gained
the crest and vanished over it, without no.
ticing that the Norman still stood where the
chief had left him, with every appearance
of being equally bereft of his senses.
With parted lips and hands nervously
opening and shutting by his side, he stood
staring away into the dusk before him, I'M
til the voices Of those who were coming
after with the spoils fell on his ear and
aroused him. Then he raised to the stars
face that was fairly convulsed with ex-
citement and took the rest of the climb in
three wild leaps.

The chiefs voice had even taken on an
impatient accent by the time the young
squire reached his side.
II should like much to know what is the
cause OF your deafness! Are you dead OF

an angry sigh.

said. 1T needs TO be carved as with

potence.

the trenchers and the purple juice that
brimmed the horns had never been equaled
in Greenland.
''Only to get such wine, to journey would
be worth while" Rolf murmured to the
shield maiden, beside whom he sat, when at
last the business of eating was over and
the pleasure of drinking had begun: AS ne
spoke he tilted his head back, with closeo
eyes and a beatific smile, and let the CON
tents Of his horn run slowly down MS
throat.
Even a woman might have had the sense
to leave him undisturbed at such mo,
ment; yet Helga bent forward and Jogged
his arm without compunction-
Are you going to be forever swallow
ing?" she whispered sharply. LOOK across
the fire and tell me what Alvin Is doing
with his hands. He has turned asloe SO
that cannot see."
1t was with a distinct bang that the
wrestler set down his empty cup, and IN a
distinct snarl that his answer came over
his shoulder. (.
mot few men have been slain for such
rUdeness as that. Why should l care what
the Norman is doing? Is 1t time 70 De

there is no babbling woman at his elbow

But Helga's hand did not loosen Its hold
upon his arm.
"Hush!' she entreated him. Something
really Is going to happen; he warned me OF
It,. Something of great Importance. You
look and tell me what you see.
Excitement is infectious; even through
his sulks Rolf caught it, and leaning for
ward, he peered curiously over the flames.
The Norman sat in his usual place at the
chiefs left hand. 1t was evident that his
thoughts were far away, for his drinking
horn stood forgotten at his elbow and he
was humming absently as he worked. His
fingers were busy with long splinter and
tuft of fox hairs, that; he was pulling
carefully from the rug ON which he sat.
Rolls eyes widened into positive alarm as
he watched.
He has the appearance of a crazy man!'
he reported. "Or 1t may be that he is MAX
ing charm and that is the weird song
which he is mumbling. See-he has finally
drawn Leif's attention upon him!"
He is not acting without purpose"
Helga persisted. HE told me to watch him.
Look! What is he doing now?'
Still humming, and with the leisurely air
Of one who works to please himself alone.
the Norman completed his task and held
the result up critically to the light. 1t was
nothing more nor less than clumsy little
fox-hair brush. Leaning back on the bear
skin the chief continued to gaze at 1t cur
iously. But the pair across the fire sud-
denly turned to each other with gasp Of
comprehension.

over 1t as drunkard hangs over his dram.
Tyrker rose with considerable hustle to take
his departure for the other house, and Val
