Generous Deed of EIks.

Through the generosity OF the
Bridgeport lodge of Elks, Peter Mar
koon of Wallingford, Conn.,, will profit
by the unfortunate accident which he
met with while witnessing the Elks'
banner raising. A runaway horse ran
him down and dislocated his collar
bone.
The bone was not fractured as at
first reported. Markoon was here
looking for work, and when the Elks
heard that he had a wife and family
dependent upon him for support they
sent a committee out to investigate.
Markoon, as a result, was sent back
to Wallingford to-day, after the Bridge
port lodge of Elks had paid his medical
expenses, secured his ticket, given him
money for incidental expenses, and
told him to calculate upon IS per week
for the next four weeks.
The Elks went further. They noti-
fed the Wallingford lodge to take care
of Markoon and help him to get en-
ployment. Markoon is not a member
of the order, never was, and the Elks
were not in any way liable for the ac-
cident.-Boston Globe.

/ you will tire yourself more If you
consent to the entertainment | came
hither to propose. | was thinking
how it might cause amusement to us
to ride into the city and see what
the goldsmiths have in their booths"
Elfgiva threw aside the candle to
come close and lay her hands upon
the girls breast. do you think 1t
likely that l might fall in with the
king somewhere in the city?'
This was going bit faster than
Randalin had planned, and her breath
came quickly, but she took the risk
and admitted it. Il did hope that
it might happen that we would see
the king" she said, "and-what is
more important to us-that the king
might see you"
Slowly, the kings wife went back
to her seat before the mirror, and
sat there lingering and turning the
jeweled rouge-pots in deep study.
Deliver me your opinion of this,
Teboen?" she said, at last, to the
big raw-boned British woman who
was her nurse and also the female
majordomo of her household.
Teboen, after becoming delibera'
ton, replied that she thought rather
favorably of the plan, that certainly
it could do no harm, while it would
be almost as sure to do good if the
king could be reminded of how beau
tiful a woman he was neglecting.
Elfgiva's laughter was like return
ing sunshine. How! You say so?
Then will we make ready without
delay, Tata, I could find it in my
mind to scold you for not thinking of
this before. You must mouth the
order for the horses, though she
added as an afterthought. Il should
expect it would be told me that | am
a prisoner, whereat l should weep
for rage"
Another flash of daring lighted Ran
dalin's eyes, though her mouth re-
manned quiet. "A good way to keep
them from thinking you a prisoner,
lady, is to act like free woman" she
said. Il shall tell them that you are
going to the palace to see your hus-
band" Sowing her seed, she left it
to take root, and went away to con-
vince the head of the grooms.

Discoveries of Posterity.

After carefully scrutinizing the we'll
preserved body they had just exhumed
the archaeologists, in the year 4493
looked at one another and shook their
heads. At last the most learned one
among them said:
"As you have seen, the collar bone,
the right femur, both thighs, the nose
and the jaw-bone are broken. Appear
ances, indicate, too, that the front
teeth were knocked out and the skull
is crushed in three places. Evident
ly he was football player"
His fellow-scientists at once agreed
that there could be no mistake as to
the correctness Of the deduction.

CHAPTER xxI-Continued.

So complete was her preoccupation
that she disregarded another thing
the highway along which they were
travelling. 1t was Randalin who first
awoke to a consciousness that the
noise of the rabble had become very
faint behind them, that no sounds at
all broke the stiffness ahead of them,
that the uneven weed-grown path they
were treading was very different from
the smooth hardness of the Waiting
street. For the first time, she spoke
to the son of Lodbrok, who had silent
ly taken his place at her side.
This is not the Waiting Street!
Yet we have not turned. Where
are WEI"
Rothgar gnawed at his heavy mus
tache as though the answer were diff
ficult to frame.
you are still on the Waiting
Street." he said. at is only that this
is the old bed of it. 1t leads also to
Saint Peters Monastery on Thor
ney-"
Stung with fear, Elfgiva tried to
snatch the lines from him. u am not
going to monastery! l am going to
the palace"
AS cliff stands against the tretting
of waves, his grasp stood against
hers; and his voice was as immovable
as his hand.
"The palace where the king is" he
said, sis the palace for queen"
At first it either seemed that she
would scratch out his eyes or throw
herself from her saddle. But in the
END she did neither, for sense of her
turned her faint. To one
who has always ruled undisputed
there is something benumbing in the
first collision with the pitiless hand of
Force. IF had the good luck to see
a bee caught in brier, should wish
your DEATH" she threatened. But she
said it under her breath; and after
that, rode with dropping head and
eyes that saw nothing Of the scene
before her.

Ist me through to my husband"

to Dunstans monkish colony, was
scarcely sufficient to make palace OF
the rambling rookery which a wall
separated from the West Minister. 1T
is the waste-place Of ruins" Elfgiva
said on the day of their arrival.
To-day, a fortnight later, Randalin
repeated the comment with des-
pondent addition. The king will
never come to this rubbish heap.
Here we are buried no less than if we
Law in a mound. 1t is not likely that
we shall get news by an easier way
than by going to him..
Straining her eyes out over the
mist-robed river, she tried for the
thousandth time to think Of some bait
alluring enough to tempt Elfgiva to
that point of daring. 81 will try once
more to entice her to the palace, so
that I can get tidings," she determin-
ed. 81 wonder what kind of humor
she is in"
It was not necessary to 20 far to
obtain a hint as TO that. Even as she
entered the passage. she heard the
scramble of scurrying feet, and then
screams and the thud Of blows.
Now it is heard that she is not sulk-
ing among her cushions" Randalin
observed. when her temper is up
she is little afraid of doing things
which she else would not dare do"
According to that her expectations
should have mounted high, as she
drew aside the door curtain, for the
L1dy of Northampton was far from
sulking. Partially disrobed. as she
had sprung up from before her mir
ror, she was holding the lucklezs
Dearwyn with one hand while VITA
the other she administered pitiless
punishment from a long club-like
candle which she had snatched from
its holder.
Come not betwixt. or I will treat
you in a like manner" the mistress
painted.
But the valkyria's fear OF Elfgiva's
tongue did not extend to Elfgiva's
hands. Catching the dimpled wrists.
she held them of with perfect cool
ness. as she said soothingly. Now
you tire yourself much. lady; and

AS she had foretold, he was too I'M

were passing under the deep arch of
the New Gate into the great city
itself.
do you purpose to visit the palace
first, noble one?' the leader of the
guards inquired with a respectful, il
uneasy salute.
The seed had rooted so far that Elf
giva did not disclaim the intention;
but she hesitated long time, pulling
nervously at the embroidered top of
her riding glove. Which way lies the
palace?"
Down the lane on your left, noble
one"
Turn then to the left"
They obeyed her. but their gay
chatter died on their lips. If the road
bore none of the responsiveness of the
shambles, it was still little more
cheerful than the graveyard. On
their right, an ice-stiffened marsh
reached to the great city wall. while
a remnant of the primeval beech for
est lay along their left, leafess, wind
dashed and groaning. Ahead, behind
its walls and above its gardens of
clustering fruit-trees. rose the towers
and gilded spires of the kings pal
ace.
AS they neared the arched gateway,
red with the cloaks of the royal
guards, It seemed to Randalin that an
icy hand had closed about her heart.
The blood was ebbing from Elfgiva's
face, and II could be seen that she
was forced to keep moistening her
lips with her tongue. Nearer-now

brazier Of glowing Goals, He leaped
to greet such splendid ladies with a
profusion of salaams and mouthful
of pretty speeches that brought some
of the color back to Elfgivas cheeks.
DO not have me in contempt,
| Tata," she admonished with laugh
of some unsteadiness. Let me sharp
en- my weapon for some space among
these precious things, and 1t may be
that l shall go hence painting for the
| field"
"Ah, gracious lady, you must needs
buy my whole stock" the merchant
cried with ingratiating smiles, for
can never endure to sell to another
what | have once seen near your
face"
Certainly the jeweled bugs, the
golden snakes, the strands of amber
and jet and pearl seemed to act as
tonics upon the Northampton lady.
If she had not traded away, at the
first two stalls, every ornament in her
possession, she would have investi.
gated each booth in the square. She
came out in bubbling spirits to the
waiting horses and the half frozen
guards.
This Cheapside is very fairy gar
den," she prattled, lingering with her
foot in the hand of the kneeling
groom. Everything in beds and rows
as they were herbs-milll down this
lane, soap down that, jewels, fab
RIGS" She turned with a sudden in
spiration. "Maidens, would not this
be a merry thought? To find out
where the fabrics are kept and try
some cloth of gold against these
pearls?"
AS the servile murmur answered,
Randalin's brow darkened. Cloth of
gold and pearls-when wolf was
tearing away at her heart. She spoke
desperately, 81 wish that the way to
the fabrics might lie past the kings
house, lady"
The kings wife sent her a glance,
half resentful, half questioning. why
do you say that?"
Because if Canute could see you as
you look now, Will your CuechS
a-1ower, and that ermine, like snow,
upon your hair, there is nothing in
the world he could refuse you"
Elfgivas mouth curved bewitchingly.
You speak as though you had jewels
to sell. What fine manners they have,
these London merchants! Tell me,
Candida, Leonorine, does she speak
the truth? On your crosses, has not
the cold redeemed my nose? Or
pinched the bloom off my lips?"
If the murmur that answered lacked
any heartiness, their mistress did not
perceive it, for every man within
earshot swelled it with reinsurance
thinking perhaps of the hot spiced
wine in the kings cups.
After a moment of hesitation, Elf
giva flew up to her saddle like a
bird. DO you all think so?" she
laughed. Certainly l never felt in
lustier spirits. l declare that | will
try it. Hasten, before the roses wilt
in my cheeks. Forward! To the pal
ace."

BLOOD WILL TELL
ATHEoRY SUPPORTED By FRESH,
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE.
A Recent Instance Proves That
Woman's Happiness Is Largely De-
pendent on the State of Her Blood.

When the blood is disordered every
organ of the body is affected unfavor-
ably and fails to discharge its func-
tons properly. In the case of every
woman nature has made special pro-
vision for a periodical publication of
the blood, and so long as this occurs
her health and spirits unfailingly re-
veal the beneficial results. So slight
a cause as a cold or nervous shock
may produce a suppression OF this
vital function, and until it is restored
she is doomed to misery. The remedy
that has proved most prompt and
effective in all disorders peculiar to
the female sex is that which brought
such great relief to Miss Matte
Griggs, of No. S07 Indiana street, Law
renee, Kansas, concerning which she
speaks as follows:
I'm the winter Of 1902, from some
unknown cause, there was a cessation
of functions peculiar to my sex for a
period Of four months. | became very
weak and could not get up stairs
and a constant headache. | was I'M
der the care of a physician for three
months, but he did not succeed in cur
ing me. Then a lady friend told me
about the merits of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills which she had used in her fam
fly, and she induced me to try them.
1t was in May when l first began
to use them, and in June | had fully
recovered my health, and have since
remained perfectly we'll"
In all cases of delayed development
of young girls; in anemia or weakness
due to impoverished blood and show
ing itself in pallor, lack of ambition,
dependency and nervousness; also in
the great constitutional disturbances
attending the period known as the
change Of life, DR.. Williams Pink Pills
are invaluable for women, whose
health is always closely dependent on
the state of the blood. They are sold
by all druggists. A booklet of valuable
information relating to the care of a
woman's health at all important peri

Fred Harter came in from the Snow ball country yesterday and reports that mining is on the boom in that sec tion. A large numb Der of mining claims were located New Years on which the location work is now being done and upon which the new owners have found good showing of ore in the out crop. There has been a great revival of activity in the various camps in the district the past month and it is thought that within the next six months more men will be at work on the mines than ever before. The big strikes in the Gold Road, Ben Harrison, Leland and Vivian mines has awakened great interest in mining in that section and mining men are making close ex- aminations of the district to see what they can pick up.
