THE ASSAY OF ARTHUR.
How He Achieved the Adventure no
Other Man Might Hope to Compass.

other Man Might Hope to Compass.
Then, in all the hush of that won
der-stricken multitude of royal and
lordly folk, did that one youth-crim-
son clad, like a fiame-ascend the
steps that led to the Anvil And as he
assembled the steps, 10! a sunbeam
fell through crevice of the canopy
and smote upon his head, so that his
hair and budding beard shone like
glory, and the fillet of gold upon his
brows shot forth spark like unto a
star. So in goodly wise did he ap-
proach that great assay.
And now, setting his knee to the
anvil, he grasped the hilt of the Glave
with both his sinewy hands; he bent
his frame to the assay, and drew.
Then, 10, as once before, but now in
the plain sight of all the world, the
shining blade slid slowly and smooth
ly out from it's iron matrix and. be-
hold, Arthur held it in his hands with
in the sight of all
A moment there was dead and per-
feet silence; then, like thunderclap,
there burst forth in one great shout
the sound of an hundred thousand
voices uplifted in deafening acclama-
ton. And then, as though a wind of
fury had smitten it, that whole great
multitude arose from where it sat in a
tumult of tossing arms, of waving
hands, and of shouting lips. For 10!
the Sword was drawn! The miracle
had been achieved within the sight of
all,
Thrice Arthur whirled the Sword
about his head, flashing like lightning.
Then, setting the point against the
face of the solid iron, he drove it
smoothly and swiftly back into it's en-
bedment whence he had drawn it. A
second time he drew it forth; a Sec
ond time he whirled it thrice about
his head; second time, he drove it
back into the bosom of the iron Anvil.
Then once again he drew it forth; and
so thrice, in the eyes of all the world,
did he achieve the adventure that no
other man but he might hope to COM
pass.-From the Story of King Arthur
and His knights by Howard Pyle in
st. Nicholas.
