CHAPTER XVII.
A ROYAL RECKONING.

Whether from policy or necessity,
the guest-house of Gloucester Abbey
was surrendered to the royal band
with open-armed hospitality. Now a
tournament of games in the riverside
meadows took up the day. now a pa
geant up the river itself; again, a
ride with the hawks or a run after
the hounds-and the nights were one
long revel.
Voices and horns made joyous up
roar when the King led forth his lady
and her fair following; and he smiled
with pleasure at the welcome and the
picturesque beauty of the gay throng
between the gray old walls.
Nov how could | come upon a bet

giva.
But he did not wait for her answer;
instead, he stepped forward as though
to avoid it and put question to one
of his huntsmen. And his wife turned
and spoke sharply to the blond maid

fairness had given her the name of

eagerly. Here she is, lady!"
There she was, in truth. standing
on the threshold with crimson cheeks

amazement, then settled into an ad-
miring stare; and Canute, glancing
over his shoulder, laughed outright

vancing again, he spoke to a groom;
and the signal set the whole party in
motion.
Randalin heard his words, but at
the moment she was too deep in angry
embarrassment to heed them. 1t
seemed to her that every eye in the
throng was fastened upon her as she
walked forward, that every mouth
buzzed comment behind her. 1t was
not until she was in the saddle that

The powerful black charger, which
a groom led toward her, had been
paving and arching his glossy neck

his blood-drops dancing; at the touch
of her foot upon the stirrup, he snort

he did not choose to say more, or be-

to another topic. "Foolishly do we
