AS he looked at him, compassion
came into the Etheling's face. The
hollowness of their sockets made the
boys large eyes look larger, and his
fever-nush trebled their brightness.

Something seemed to come into the
young mans throat as he was about
to speak. for he swallowed hard and
was silent. Putting an arm about the
slender figure, he drew it TO his side;
and so they left the room and began
to climb the stairs.
AS soon as the curtain fell at their
heels a sitting mustiness came to
their nostrils, and a chill that was
like the fiat of knife-blade pressed
against their cheeks. They drew
breath thankfully when they had come
up into the sweet freshness of the
night air. Flashing on the weapons
of the pacing sentinels, a glory of
silver moonlight lay like a visible ST
lence over the parapets. In the wark-
ness below. a sea Of forest trees was
murmUTing and splashing at the pass

the dark glowed the fires Of the Dan

Wild Ducks in Scotland.

A new feature in Scotland that
promises well for the future sport
there is the breeding of wild ducks.
A driven wild duck presents as diff
cult shot to the crack gunner as a
driven grouse, and the birds can be
more certainly driven over the guns
from the hill loch than from the low
lying lakes in the English counties,
where that branch of sport has hith-
erto been most successfully intro
duced and followed. And one great
recommendation in its favor, which
should lead to its wider adoption in
grouse counties, is that the sport can
begin earlier in the holiday month OF
August than grouse shooting COM
mences on the surrounding moors.-

in Yorkshire, and another to my faith
er's friend in Essex"
The next day, and for many days
thereafter, the Tower windows stared
out like expectant eyes. But no de-
livering bands ever came over the
hills to reward their watching. From
the moment that he was swallowed by
the outer darkness, the messenger
for Yorkshire was as lost to their
sight as though he had plunged into
the ocean. And week later the man
who had been sent to Essex crept
back with a detection that foretold
his i'll success. The californian was
taxed. might and main, to protect his
own lands. He regretted it, to his
innermost vitals, but, these were days
when each must stand or fall for him
self. He could only send his sympa-
thy and the counsel to hold out I'M
hinchingly in the hope that some
fortune of war would call the besieg-
ers away.
When he heard that, Father Ingulph
forgot his robes to indulge in a curse.
Does he think we have possession
of the widows blessed oil-cruse? If
the larder had not been stocked for
a weeks feasting, we must needs
have been starved under ere this.
How much longer can we endure,
even at one meal a day." He sighed
as he drew his belt in another notch.
When the beginning of the Wine
Month came, the bitterest sight that
the Tower windows gave out upon
was the band of foragers that every
morning went forth from the Danish
campfres. Every noon they return

st. Petersburg, Aug. An a
lengthy telegram to the emperor, Vice
Admiral Skrydloff relates the doings
of the Vladivostok squadron under
Rear Admiral lessen.
With the cruisers Rossia, Gromo-
boil, and Rurill, Admiral lessen left
Vladivostok July 20. After sinking
a small Japanese vessel the cruisers
held up the British steamer Camara,
but as she had no cargo and was
not caught in the act of carrying con-
traband of war, we were compelled
to let her CO." says the dispatch.
A Japanese coasting steamer was
next met, but "as most of her fifty
passengers were women, we determin-
ed to release her."
Two Japanese schooners were sunk.
Then Admiral lessen fell in in quick
succession with the British steamers,
Arabia and Knight Commander. or
the Arabia he says nothing new.

after the fourth shot," the admiral re-

Meaning of Orange Blossoms.

The orange tree is regarded as a
prince among trees, and the emblem
of genius. A popularity of this tree
is that it bears fruit and flowers at
the same time. Its leaves are ever
green, and as it grows older it grows
in beauty and fruitfulness. it blossoms
filling the air with their fragrance
1t is indeed fit emblem of marriage
promise and hopes. The orange tree
is considered typical of love, because.
though its fruit is golden and its flavor
and scent delicious, its rind is bitter,
and, as every one knows who has ex-
perienced it, Cupid's dart causes pain.
The orange is emblematic of gratitude
as well as of genius and love.-Phila.

Bread for one more meal; and the

steward answered in a very faint
voice when Morcard put the nightly
question.
Because it was not possible for the
old mans face to record more misery,
the light of the guard-room fire over
which he crouched showed no change
whatever in his expression.
1t was the young lord, who sat be-
side him, that answered. After a
pause he said gently, go and try to
get some sleep. At least you can
dream Of food"
II have done no otherwise for SEN
night" the man sighed, as he hurried
away to snatch the tongs from serf
who was spending an unnecessary
fagot upon the fire. At any other
time he would have shouted at him,
but it was little loud talking that was
done within the walls these days.

For time he lay as stark and rigid
as though death had already closed

to become a funeral chamber, with
mass of lowering shadows for a
pail. The fire held up funeral tapers

Meeting of Western Stockmen.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 5.-Western
stockmen to Che number of about six

land commission to formulate some
general plan for the settlement of the

the conference will also take some
means to bring about an end to the
packing house strike, either by the
appointment of a committee to in
tercede between the unions and pack
ers, offering it's services as a board
of arbitration or by adopting strong
resolution asking President Roosevelt

Highest Cathedral Nave.

The most remarkable and striking
feature of the new Liverpool (Eng.l
cathedral q the height of the vault
ing of the nave and choir-measured
in the barrel vaulting 116 feet, and in
the high transepts 140 feet-which
cannot fail to produce a very mag
nifcent effect. No cathedral in the
country approaches its height. The

there was a moment of clash and of
clangor, a moment of awful commo-
tion and when the whirling dust
clouds settled, the only homespun
that was moving was that which was
flying, sped by Danish arrows. All
the rest of the day the Tower win
dows looked out upon a litter of
brown heaps here and there, white
face upturned, or a scarf-end 1utter-
ing in the autumn wind.
Wild with helpless misery, the
Lord of Ivarsdale would have charged

armed servants if the old cniht had
not restrained him almost by force;
