the tender mercies of their sovereign
had but little faith in his chances of
escape. 1t was but three days past
that Don Diego de Guzman, alcayde Of
Seville, had been made answerable
with his head for the first unpunished
murder within the city walls, for many
brawls took place between the hot
headed caballeros who thronged the
town in attendance on the court, and
the king was set on putting an end to
their continuance. Scarcely "a hours
ago, however, Don Sancho de Espino-
sa, cavalier of Aragon, had been
found dead in pool of his own blood
in one of the narrow streets of the
Moorish quarter, without trace Of
any kind to give clue of the assas-
sins identity. The alcayde had left
no stone unturned in his endeavor to
discover the culprit. but could rest his
case on no firmer foundation than the
testimony of the old crone before
whose dwelling-place the corpse had
been found. Drawn to the window
slit by the clash of steel, she had no
ticed, by the glimmer of her oil lamp,
that one of the combatants was tall
man, with a profusion of fair hair
the other, being in the shadow, she
could not see at all, The alcayde had
his enemies, and the matter had been
brought to the king, who, delighted
with so favorable an opportunity OF
gratifying his cruelty with so fair a
semblance of justice, had commanded
Don Diego's presence in the hall

There was slight stir at the lower
end OF the great room, and the al
cayde, escorted by four archers, pro-
ceeded up the hall in the direction OF
the throne. Arrived at some ten PAGES
of the dais, he sank ON one knee, then

GAME OF HOOP BOUNCE.
A Test of Skill Which Will Tax the
Ingenuity of the Brightest
Girl or Boy.

This game is test of skill in hoop
rolling, AS rule, children grow to be
quite expert in guiding their hoops and
can perform such feats as return
rolls" and bouncing hoop" with a
great deal of cleverness.
Five pegs or sticks are required in
this game, per dimensions shown in
diagram, and placed according to
measurements shown. Standing at a
distance of Is feet from the pegs each
player must endeavor to roll his hoop
through either of the two openings, to
left or right of the tall peg.
II they pass through safely they will
strike the string or rope and rebound,

pegs. The middle peg more difficult
than the rest, counts 20 points, while
the two smaller ones score ten points
each.
1t will be found possible to exercise
cleverness in manipulating the hoops.
as jerk or twist or firm roll will tend
to give the rebound its necessary force.
First of all, the hoop must be rolled
skillfully enough to make 1t pass
through the two openings. If hoop
falls upon peg before it rebounds
from the string the player loses his
chances of count for that time and
other players follow in quick success
sion.
The string used in this game, on the
two black pegs. should be of sufficient
strength to give firm resistance to tho
hoops when they are rolled, and tho
more strength put in the roll the moro
apt the hoops are to circle the winning
pegs.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

IT WAS lovely morning in May.
L From the sunny gardens of the AL
caZar a light breeze carried into the
great hall of justice the fragrance OF
the blossoming lime and orange trees,
momentarily clearing its perfumed at
mosphere with breath of refreshing
GOODNESS. On his raised dias at the
farther end of the chamber the most
noble and powerful Dom Pedro, by
Leon, allowed his pale blue eyes TO
wander restlessly over its crowded
confines. Beside the royal chair OF
state, with its overhanging dorserel,
was another, somewhat lower, occu-
pied by the kings beautiful mistress,
the good Maria de Padilla, one en-
nobling influence of his brutal and
sanguinary life. The tapestried wall
where the three castles stood out in
gold broidery against a crimson back
ground, were lined with throng OF
the proudest knights and barons OF

intimate of the monarchs courtly en-

the entrance of the chamber stood a
detachment of the bowmen of the
guard.
But it was no routine matter that

who knew him, was within the hour

THE RUNAWAY.

Ever since the world was young,
Striving fast and faster,
Runaway and Ready Tongue
Tries to be the master.
If you'll only bark a bit,
Not n moment has he quit.
But he has the honest wit,
When he meets disaster,
To perceive that Think-a-bit
Is the greater master;
And next time, If he is wise,
He let's Think-a-bit advise.
