soon after dawn, she heard the clatter
of galloping horses, and the calls of
the men as they refined up at their

They rose from the breakfast table
and looked at their wives. Lysbet

Katherine lifted her white face and

Katherine held her husbands hand
till they stood at the open door. Then
he looked into her face, and down at
his sword, with a meaning smile.
And her eyes dilated, and a vivid
blush spread over her cheeks and
throat, and she drew him back a mo-

again; and all her grief was lost in
love and triumph. For, wound tightly
around his sword-hilt, she saw

Quotations from a letter dated July
5, A. D. 1852
Yesterday l went with my aunt to
spend the Fourth at the Hydes'. They
have the most delightful place-a
great stone house in wilderness of
foliage and beauty, and yet within
convenient distance of the railroad
and the river boats. Kate Hyde said
the house is more than hundred
years old, and that the fifth generation
Is living in it. l am sure there are
pictures enough of the family to ac
count for three hundred years; but
the two handsomest, after all, are
those of the builders. They were very
great people at the court of Washing
ton, believe. I suppose it is natural,
for those who have ancestors, to brag
about them, and to shoY off the old
buckles and fans and court dresses
they have boarded up, not to speak of
the queer bits Of plate and china; and
| must say the Hydes have a really
delightful lot of such bric-a-brac. But
the strangest thing Is the household
talisman' 1t is not like the luck of
Eden hall; it Is neither crystal cup.
nor silver vase, nor magic bracelet,
nor an old slipper. But they have
tradition that the house will prosper
as long as it lasts, and so this pre-
cious palladium is carefully kept in
a locked box Of carved sandalwood,
for it is only bit of faded satin that
was a love token-a st. Nicholas Bow

In the greenest OF our valleys
By good angels tenanted,
Once fair and stately palace
Radiant palace-rears it's head.
In the monarch thoughts dominion,
1t stood there;
Never seraph spread pinion
Over fabric half so fair.
Banners yellow, glorious, golden,
On its roof did float and flow
(This-all this-was in the olden
Time long ago.,
And every gentle air that dallied,
In that sweet day,
Along the ramparts plumed and pallid,
A winged odor went away.
Wanderers in that happy valley
Through two luminous windows saw
Spirits moving unsteady,
To lute's well-tun-ed law,
Round about throne where, sitting,
Porphyrogene,
In state his glory well BETTING,
The ruler of the realm was seen.

And all with pearl and ruby glowing
Was the fair palace door,
Through which came flowing, flowing, flo,
l.g,
And sparkling evermore
A troop of echoes, whose sweet duty
Was but to sing,
In voices of surprising beauty,
The wit and wisdom of their king.
But evil things, in robes of sorrow,
Assaulted the monarch's high estate;
(Ah, let us mourn, for never morrow
Shall dawn upon him desolateD
And round about his home the glory
That blushed and bloomed,
Is but aforementioned story
OF the old time entombed.
And travellers now within that valley
Through the red-litten windows see
Vast forms that move Enthusiastically
To discordant melody;
While, like a CHASTITY rapid river,
Through the pale door
A hideous throng rush out forever,
And laugh-but smile no more.

Roland was not dismsyed as the

the Bedford was sunk.
At the present time the White Is
moored opposite this city, where
electric lights are being installed.
1t Is one of the best towboats on
the stream at the present time. 1t

chinery. Captain Rowland has
many friends along the Ohio who
will be very much pleased In learn
ing of his good fortnde In securing
the command of the new craft.
Many of the rivermen think this
Is the forerunner of the tall boating
stage, and 1t Is hoped that 1t Is, as
business along the stream has been
quiet for some time.
