CHAPTER XIV.
Pisie-Ied.

FSle-led.
So Sebert of Ivarsdale went back
to his tower unhindered; and the rest
OF the winter nights, while the winds
of the Wolf Month howled about the
palisades, he listened undisturbed to
his harper; and the rest of the winter
days he trod in peace the homely rou-
tine of his lordship-in peace and in
absent-eyed silence.
Perhaps it was the future that was
engrossing his mind, but sometimes
it came to him dimly as a strange
thing how so small a matter as a slip
of girl in a pages dress could loom
SO large that there was no corner of
manor or tower but recalled some
trick of her tossing curls, some echo
or her ringing laughter. Did he outsit
the maids and men around his hearth
and watch the dying fire with no other
companions than his sleeping dogs,
fancy placed a scarlet-cloaked figure
at his feet and raised at his knee a
face of sweetest friendliness, whose
flower-blue eyes frightened or
gloomed in response to his lightest
mood. Whenever this vision rose be-
fore him, he stirred in his chair and
turned his face from the light.
AS the winter wore on, he grew rest
less in his solitude, restless and sui
len as the waters of the little stream
in their prison of ice. He told himself
that when the spring came he would
feel more settled but when on one
OF his morning rides he came upon
the first crocus, lifting its golden cup
toward the sun, it only gave to his
pointless restlessnesC a poisoned barb.
Involuntariiy his first thought was,
at would look like a spark of fire in
the dusk of her hair" When he real
lied what he had said, he planted the
great forefoot of his horse squarely
on the innocent thing and crushed it
back into the earth; but it had done
its work, for after that he knew that
neither the promise of the springtime
nor the fullness of the harvest would

Young Mr.. Rockefeller continues to
talk to his Bible class about money,

cannot take one TO heaven and is a

should know. The troubles with
multiJudes of girls is q want of
proper nourishment and enough
of it. Nowadays they call this
condition by the learned name of
Anemia. But words change no
facts. There are thousands of
girls of this kind anywhere be-
tween childhood and young lady
hood. Disease finds most of its
victims among them. Some of
them are passing through the
mysterious changes which lead
up to maturity and need especial
watchfulness and care. Alas,
how many break down at this
critical period; the story OF such
losses is the saddest in the his

these household treasures, il the

ed. Yesterdays breakdown of the
regular trial panel of the criminal di-
vision before Judge Robinson, so that
enough men were not left upon 1t even
to draw a single jury from, is not by
a great deal the first example of weak
ness in the new system.
At the term just closed there were
instances of summoned jurors being
called into the trial box only to prove
lacking in qualifications for jury duty.
One of the latest such occurred in
the empaneling of the jury for the
Jones murder trial, when member of
the panel stepped down and out on his
admission that he was ignorant of
the English language.
Judge Robinson yesterday had to ex-
cnse man who had been summoned
because he was not citizen, and an
other because he was neither a voter
nor of voting age. How many he
should have to excuse if it had come
to the language test is impossible to

Harry b. Halves don't seem to
be punching any holes in the
Folk boom. The facts are, Dem.
ocrats everywhere see through
the thin game being played by
Halves, and the more he talks
the more gauzy the game looks.
Harry doesn't expect to be Gov
ernor, but to let Folk carry off
the nomination means death to
Hawes' political ambitions. No
matter, now, what becomes of
the Folk movement, Halves is
politically too dead to skin.
