"It would be more easy to tell you

Morcard gave out dry chuckle.
"By Saint Cuthbert," he muttered,

But the Etheling made no answer

time staring away across the fields,
he met the old mans eyes gravely.

we are coming"
Amid a joyous tumult, they swept
over the terrace-like plain and broke
ranks around the old elm. Evidently
it was the disbanding place, for the
yeomen-soldiers, one and all, came
crowding around their leader to press
his hand and speak parting word.
In the meadows beyond the stream,
little shepherd boys had heard the
horn and were swarming, spider-like,
over the hedges, sending up shrill
shouts. And now women came run

houses. waving their aprons. More
children raced behind them; and then
a dozen old men, limping and hob

source of her pain. He spoke quick

aside those before, touched spur to
the white horse. In a moment the
good steed had borne them out of the
crowd and down the slope. followed
only by the old cnihts and the dozen

Slowly the bleak light warmed into
golden radiance, and the touch OF
dawn strung the scattered bird-notes
into chain of joyous song. Pass
ing at last from the forest shades, the
men of Ivarsdale came out into the
grassy lane-like road that wound away
over the Middlesex hills. Here and
there the little shock-headed boys
who were driving their charges afield

Hard Blow to Russians.

St. Petersburg. A pril 13.-The cap ital of Russia was staggered to jay by news from the far east of the loss Of the first class battleship Petropaviovsk. Vice Admiral Makaroff and officers and crew to the number of from 600 to 500. Tine official story of the dire ful catastrophe was not made known until some hours after the city was in mourning for the first news was so authorative that it was improbable that succeeding dispatches would soften the disaster.
 Grand Duke Cyril on board the doom ed battleshIp was among the few sur vivors.
 That was the only light in the gloom which shrouded St. Petersburg. The city went into mourning and religious services were held for the dead.
 There was little speculation or in quiry as to the details of the cause of the disaster. It was enough to know that the ablest naval commander of Russia was gone, that one of the strongest battleships of the navy had been destroyed and that the members of it's gallant crew were buried in Asiatic waters.
 It was pointed out that never in the world had so many lives been lost in a single sea catastrophe.
 Hardly thought was given to the accompanying report that the naval battle at Port Arthur was still in pro- gress and the operations on the Yalu were wholly lost sight of, so absorbed was the populace in it's one great woe

Marshall P. Wright in Town

Marshall P. Wright, president of the Missouri Mining Company, was a business visitor in Nosaies last We'd nesday, from Hermosillo where for number of years he has made his head quarters.
 The Missouri Mining Company was recently organized under the laws of Arizona for the purpose of operating extensive and valuable mining prop critics situated in the Ures district, Sonora, Mexico. Mir. Wright. who is a native son of grand old Missouri, named the company of which he is the head and leading spirit For many years he has been devoting his entire time to mines and mining in the state of Sonora, with marked success. Coming from Missouri of course you ''have to show him before he will be- come interested in any proposition; with this time honored Missouri motto always in mind, it is said Marshall P Wright is hard man to fool when it comes to taking hold of a tnining proposition.
 He is largely interested in several companies now operating excellent mines in Sonora, which give great pro- mise of at no distant date becoming good producers. No man in Sonora has more friends or a better record as a straight-up, fair and square money getter, than Marshall F. Wright; no mixing man in the state Is more de- serving success han he, and his friends here and in the east will learn with genuine pleasure that he is flourish ing
 E. P. Harlow, a mining man, and John A. McPherson, merchant of Her. mosillo, came up from the capital city with MT. Wright and spent the day pleasantly with friends.

 Every thing that medical science and kind friends could do, was done, to save "Billy," as we who knew him best, loved to call him; but to TO avail.
