, CHAPTER III.

When Royal Blood Is Young Blood.
Three richly dressed warriors, clink-
ing golden goblets across table-so
much Randalin caught in her first
glance. On the spot where the senti-
mel had released her she stopped,
stock-still and with eyes bent on the
ground tremblingly awaited the royal
attention.
Her first thought was that kings
tent was very like traders booth.
Spears and banners and gold-bossed
shields decorated the walls, while the
reed-strewn ground was Uttered with
furs and armor, with jeweled altar
cloths and embroidered pals and won
derful gold-laced garments. The rude
temporary benches were spread with
splendid covers of purple and green,
upon which silver lilies and gold-eyed
peacocks had been wrought with ex-
quisite skill. Randalin's gaze fingered,
dazzled, then slowly rose to examine
the master Of all this wealth.
He was not so easy to pick out. or
the three men around the table, only
one was a graybeard; and of the two
striplings left, either might have been
the son of Sven of Denmark. Both
were finely formed; both were dress
ed with royal splendor, and the hair OF
each fell from under jeweled circlet
in uncut lengths of shining fairness.
The hair of the shorter one, though,
was finer; and no red tainted the pur-
ity of it's gold When one came to
look at it, it was like royal cloak.
Perhaps he might be the king! Then
she noticed that his shoulders lacked
the breadth of his companions by as
much as q palms width; and her
mind wavered. Surely so great
king as Canute must be broader
shouldered than any of his subjects!
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1904-06-10

Though the men were too intent to
notice her, in some sub-conscious way
her moving seemed to rouse them.
Their discussion had been growing
gradually louder; now the bearded
man and the young Jotun rose sud-
denly and faced their companion,
whose voice became audible in an
obstinate mutter:
Nevertheless, l doubt that it was
wise to join hands with an English
traitor"
The older man said in a tone of
slowly gathering anger, Il told you to
make the bargain, and l stand at the
back of my counsels. Have you be-
come like the wind, which tries every
quarter of the sky because it knows
not its own mind?"
While the young man warned in
his heavy voice, you will have your
will in this as in everything, King
Canute, but l tell you that if you
keep the bargain, you will act against
my advice"
He raised from his hands now
face of boyish sullenness, and sat
glaring over his clenched fists at his
counsellors.
Certainly it would become great
misfortune to me if | should act
against the advice of Rothgar LODI
broksson he made singing answer.
1T was he who gave me the advice,
when the English broke faith, to vent
my rage upon the hostages. Men
have not yet ceased to lift their noses
at me for the unkingliness of the
deed" His eyes blazed at the mem
ory. They we're not pleasant eyes
when he was angry; the blue seemed
to fade from them until they were two
shining colorless pools in his brown
face.
The son of LOdbrok shrugged his
huge shoulders in stolid resignation,
but the wrinkled forehead of the older
man became somewhat smoother. He
said in his measured voice. ''In that
matter my opinion stands with Canute.
When bloodshed is unnecessary, it
becomes a drawback
over the brown fists the fierce
bright eyes bent themselves upon him
in his turn. The biting young voice
said, 1T is likely that Thorkel the
Tall speaks from experience. II stands
in my memory how well craft served
him when he deserted my father for
Ethelred and then became tired OF
the Englishman. To procure himself

toward their captives," she told her
SELF
Another sentinel hailed her and she
gave him absently her customary an
swer. He pointed to great striped
tent of red and white linen, adorned
with fluttering streamers and guarded
by more sentries in shining mail; and
she rode toward it in a daze.
More jewellers sprawled under these
trees, and she looked at them curl
ously. The women here did not seem
to be amusing themselves so well.
One was weeping; and one-a slip
of a girl with a face like rose-was
trying vainly to rise from her place
| beside a drunken warrior. who held
her hands and strove to pull her lips
down to his wine stained mouth. In
Imagination Randalin felt again Nor
mans arm around her waist, and
| wild pity was quickened in her. This
was worse than drudgery, worse than
blows! For the credit of Danish war
riors. it was well that Sister Wyn-
| freda could not see this.
Again her own words raised a start
ling apparition. What had been the
Sisters last cry of warning?' 1T is
not their cruelty l fear for you. Child,
listen! It is not their blows" Could
it be possible that this was what
Like a merciless answer came
scream from the girl-a short, pierre
ing cry of horror and loathing and
agonized appeal as she was drawn
down upon the leering face. At that
cry, childhoods blind trust died for
ever in Randalin. AS she rode past
the pair, with clenched hands and
flashing eyes, she knew without rea-
soning that tortures would not tear
from her the secret of her disguise.
When the sentinel before the tent
challenged her roughly. it was her
tongue, not her brain. that answered
him.
Il have war news for the King"
In a twinkling he had dropped his
spear. plucked her from her saddle,
and was marching her toward the
entrance by her collar.
In the Trolls name. get in to the
chief. and let nothing hinder you," he
growled. From your snail's pace
got the idea that you had come a-beg-
cling. Get in and set your tongue wag-
eing as speeding as you can, Why
do Won draw back? tell you TO make
haste,"
Before she could so much as catch

THE LOCUST PARTY FAILED.
FLY "Mixed ln," and the Excitement
Was Over.


The last years of Justice Dykmans'
life he delighted to sit in his yard
and watch the insects and all the small
life with which the summer teemed.
He was especially interested last year
in the locusts, which would burst out
of their old skin one by one, and one
morning he invited a party OF his
neighbors over to watch particularly
fat locust break out of its old prison.
AS the shell slowly cracked the judge
became more and more excited. until
suddenly big fly pounced on the To-
Gust and stung it through the crack,
on its fresh, new back. or course,
this killed the locust instantly, and
there was no more squirming within
the old shell. The Judge was highly
indignant. "The COMPOUNDED rascal,
he exclaimed, 'stung the locust, did
he? The beastly fly! Isn't that too
bad. now; isn't that too badi" and
then he apologized to his neishbors
for the fy's bad behavior and the fail
ure of his locust party.-New York

LIVING CHRISTIANITY
More Genuine Christianity the Need of
the World To-day. &c.,.
Editorial in the Century


It is more, and not less, Christianity
that the world needs as between peo-
pies and between people, in diplomacy,
in public and private business, in ali
affairs Of the state, the family and the
individual. Unselfsh kindness, help.
fitness, courtesy, gentlemanliness hon
orable dealings among men-these are
all practical versions Of the Golden
Rule, and genuine products Of the SER
mon on the mount.
In the secret soul there are apprehen-
sions and appropriations Of the hidden
truth, the deep humanity, Of even the
dogmas which are so often spoken Of.
nowadays, with scornful and superior
criticism by those who have not studied
their philosophical significance or felt
their meaning in spiritual experience.
The doctrine of atonement, by so many
deemed outworn-how many souls it has
helped to cast off an impairing and de-
grading past, some encumbering sin of
the inherited flesh! How many, in dash
ing aside the shell Of form and tradi.
tion, despoil themselves of some inner
treasure, fit and needful for the spirit IS
food.
More, and not less, of genuine Chris
| tianity is the need Of this world
Every intelligent religion may have
something to impart to those born to
Christianity; but those SO born, and the
nations thus Graded, will arrive at
nobler destinies in the increasing en-
deavor to follow the spirit of the teach
| ings of the world IS one inimitable
