CHAPTER XIII.
A Familiar Blade in a Strange Sheath


Now it is related that Bjarni Herjulfs-
son came from Greenland to Eirek Jarl,
who received him well. Bjarni described
his voyage and the lands that he had seen.
People thought he had shown lack OF
interest as he had nothing to tell about
them, and he was somewhat blamed for 1t.
He became the Jarl's hirdman and went to
Greenland the following summer. Now
there was much talk about land discov-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
The week after Gillrs departure for Nor
way Left returned from his visit to Her
julfs Cape and made public his intention
to take up Biorns barren beginning and
carry 1t out to a definite finish. He brought
with him three Of the men Of Biorn's old
crew. and also the same stanch little trad
ing vessel in which Hertulfsson had made
his journey, The ship sheds upon the shore
became at once the scene of endless over
hauling and repairing. Thorhild's women
laid aside their embedding for the task Of
sail making. There began ransacking
Of every hut on the commons and every
fishing station along the coast for the latest
improved hunting gear and fishing tackle;
and day after day Tyrker rode among the
farms, purchasing stores of graAn and
smoked meats.
AS the old saga says: ''Now there was
much talk about land discoveries" The
Lucky One became the hero of the hour.
With all its stubbornness. Erics pride could
not but be gratified. He began to show
signs Of relenting. Gradually he ceased to
avert his face. One day he even worked
himself up to making grufr inquiry into
their plans.
1T we return with great fame 1t is likely
his pleasure will reconcile him entirely

While they stood upon the shore, adniring
the coat Of scarlet paint that was being
laid upon her hull, he suddenly offered the
Red One the leadership of the expedition.
Eric's eyes caught fire and his wiry old
frame Strengthened and swelled with eager
ness. Then, though his eyes still sparkled,
his chest sank like pierced bladder.
1T is not possible for me to go. I am
too old, and less able to bear hardship than
formerly"
heard the offer, exchanged glances of re-
lief, and allowed themselves to breathe
again. But to their CONSERVATION, Left did
not take advantage of this loop-hole. He
argued and urged, until Eric drew In an
other long breath Of excitement, until his
aged muscles ttngled and twitched with a
spasm Of youthful ardor, until at last in
a burst of almost hysterical enthusiasm he
accepted the offer. In the warmth OF his
pleasure, he grasped his sons hand and
publicly received him back into his af-
fections. But at the moment. this was
cold comfort for Leif's followers. They
turned from their painting and hammering
and polishing, to stare at their lord In
amazed disapproval. The instant the two
chiefs had gone up from the shore, COM
plants broke out like explosions.

GRAND CONCERT
SINGERS PLEASE TOO
SMALL AN AUDIENCE At
THE DUNCAN.
One Of the Rarest Musical Treats
Citizens Have Ever Been Favored
With-The Individual Singers.


There was a fair-sized and most ap
preciative audience at The concert
given at the Duncan last night by the
Italian artists. Chey. Pietro Buzzi and
Madame Sylvia Puerari. That the
house vas not crowded is q pity, for
the entertainment was n Of the
finest from the standpoint of high
classic music ever given in the city,
From the opening solo by Buzzi the
house was %captivated, and the enthu-
siasm grew steadily to the brilliant
finale. The voice of Chev. Buzzi was
a surprize. From the reputation that
had preceded him he was expected to
have a true tenor voice of great range
and facility Of expression, but those
who saw the graceful, slight-built
man step forward for the initial solo
had little idea Of the robust quality
and crashing power that reached its
climax in the beautiful and familiar
Spanish melody, "Sobre Las Olas."
This was the hit of the evening, and
though the singer many times declined
the vociferous recall, he was finally
Obliged to yield and sing again. Per-
haps the most artistic number by
i Buzzi was the exquisite my Rosary"
by Nevin, sung in French. The soft
ness, meditation and rare sweetness
of his voice thrilled the audience.
1.-THE Holy City" in English was an
other number which displayed to spe-
cial advantage the magnificent power
and rich color of a wonderful vocal
organ.
Madame Puerari, also, made her
best hit in the melliferous Spanish.
1t was the lifting, lovely La Paloma,"
| which fairly called the audience to its
feet and aroused a claimor not to be
| denied for a recall. The beautiful
Italians full, expressive, ideally
trained soprano voice is hardly of
secondary note to her unusual dramat-
ic power. In sympathetic, ever melodi-
Gus strains the whole gamut of feel
ing, from emotion gentle as the breeze
in the pine-tops, to the rudest burst
of dramatic passion is run. Both in
the Spanish song and the impassioned
selection from Carmen the dramatic
effect was striking.
/ The sweet old "Life's Dream Is
Ger as a duet by Nine. Puerari and
Mr.. ). G. McNary, was admirably rem
/ dered, and the audience demanded an
encore. Prof. R. T. Blair, as violinist,
made himself distinctly a favorite. He
played the diffcult "Legende," by
| Wieniawski, with airy delicacy and
rare felicity of expression. A dainty
musical melody which followed was
perhaps V more highly appreciated
by the audience, though in neither
technique nor shading was it quite
| up to the standard of the other. An
encore piece was finely done.
The closing number was one of the
most effective duets from III Trova-
tore by Nine. Puerari and Chev.
Buzzi. Throughout the evening, the ac-
companying by Mrs. j. G. McNary
and Prof. Blair was of such a char
acter as to please the audience heart
lily and call for encomiums from the
singers.

Killed by a Passenger
Train.

to swat the arrival of the train from

of the accident was when the train
reached Waubay. Blood was noticed
on the pilot of one of the engines used
through the hills, and one engine was
sent back over the line to ascertain the
source. A few miles east, near the west
end of a cut the body of a man was
found. The body proved to be the
remains of Joseph Handlen, whose home
was in Waubay. He was a farm hand
single and % years of age. After the
arrival of the train i'll Aberdeen Man.
ager Zietlow telephoned to Waubay fo1
particulars and it was learned that
Handler mad been TO visit his sister,
Mrs. Holzer, whose home is about -four
miles southeast of Summit, and he
started to walk home from Summit,
where he was Sunday morning. IT is
supposed that he was near the west end
of the cut mentioned and on account of
having his ears wrapped up did not hear
the train. There was some loose snow
in the cut and the plow attached to the
head engine threw it mp in. such clouds
that the engineer did not see the man,
and the fact that a man had been struck
and killed was not suspected until the
blood was seen on the front of the
engine after Waubay was reached
