Tam Samson was a gray haired vet
eran sportsman, who on one occasion,
when out moorfowl shooting and feel
ing the weight Of years begin to press
upon him. expressed the belief that the
expedition was to be his last and de-
sired, In somewhat tragic style. that
he might die and be buried In the

Burns, hearing Of this. Immediately
composed his famous elegy. in which
he related at length the exploits and
skill Of his hero, ending each verse
with the plalntive line. Tam Samson's

Some one having told Samson that
Burns had written a poem-"a gey
queer ane"-about him, he sent for the
poet and in something like wrath asked
him to read what he had written. On
hearing the recital Of his exploits he
smiled grimly and seemed by no means
displeased. But" he exclaimed, I'm
no dead yet Robin. Wherefore should
ye say that I'm dead?" Burns retired
for u few minutes: then he returned
and recital to Tain the following verse.
which he had composed in the inter-
val:

SILENCEi

And there was silence. Even the lips
Of the wounded men closed as the king
began to speak. The sound of his voice
seemed as far away as the stars and to
permeate all space:
"All danger is over. Tidings from
the west state that the sun is setting.
No harm has come to it. 1t will rise in
the morning, and the moon and stars
will be out in a few hours. Let the dead
be removed, the wounded cared for and
everything be repaired. This is my
will"
That was all. The king bowed eedate-
" and retired from the throne, and the
circle and pink glow faded from the
black sky. The stiffness was unbroken
for moment; then glad murmuripgs
We're heard in all directions.

the princess. "See! Down there is the
arcade leading to the rotunda."
Il am glad it is over" said Thorn.

She grasped his arm and impulsiveiy
looked into his face.
But your friend-we have forgotten
MIN and done nothing to save him, and
now it is too late"
We could not help it. We had to
think of our own safety"
Il shall send for Captain Tradmos
and try to devise some other plan," she
SAID as they descended the stairs.

have passed when his attention was

and looked out on the court. The light
came from the rising moon.
Below lay the luins Of fallen col

removing the dead from the debris. With

down past his window to the ground.

watched its circular descent to the earth
and shuddcred with horror as the black
figures filed the car with bodies, and
the grewsome machine spread its wings
and rose slowly til It was clear of the
domes and EiLnacles Of the palace and
then flew away westward.
Other machines came and one after
another received their CHASTITY burdens
and departed. In short time all the
dead were removed, and hundreds of
workmen came from the palace and be-
gan repairing the fallen masonry.

remarked Johnston, and as he concluded
the sun trembled again and another
flash and failure occurred. Look"
cried the American; 1.-THE clouds are

They both leaned over the railing and
looked below. AS far as the eye could
reach, within the arc of their vision,
they could see fitful lights flashing up
here and there and going out again.
And then they heard faint sounds OF
crashing masonry and the condensed
roar of human voices, which seemed to
come from above rather than from be-
low. The Alphian turned. II cannot
stand the cold," he said. Johnston fol-
lowed him. The rapid motion of the
swinging sphere made him dizzy, and
he caught Branasko's arm to keep from
falling.
"How can we tell when we 60 over
the wall?" he asked anxiously.

the answer. "At any rate, we must be

In the darkness they slowly made
their way down the stairs to the great
room.
There ought to be some way Of

his voice sounded loud and hollow in
the empty chamber. After several fail
ures to find the stairs they descended to
the door they had entered. Branaskc
opened it little, and breeze came in.
They sat down on the stone, and after
awhile in sheer fatigue they fell asleep.
Hours passed. Branasko rose with o
start and shook Johnston.

When Tradmos spoke the words Of
warning, Thorndyke put his arm round
the princess and drew her after Trad

gloom.

"Let US not get excited. We are really

pity. "Listen to their blows and cries.

the Englishman. II want to protect

Englishman thought she drew closer to
