condition of affairs.

by a majority Of three, sending a
republican TO the senate TO succeed
Senator Cockrell.
All the figures 50 far are mere
estimates. Unofficial returns give
Roosevelt a majority Of I4o, 900 in
New York City and 275, 600 in the

Indeed, his pleasure was so great that
he dared say little in Acknowledgement
| lest it betray him into too great cor.
dialty toward this stern young ruler
who. though in reality year younger

| years his senior. He said shortly, If

He did not finish his question, for
the King raised his hand impatiently.
1T is not likely that swords will
have any part in that matter, Lord
| Marshal. There is another task in
store for you than to fight Normans-
and it may be that you will think it
beneath your rank, for instead of the
State, ii concerns me and my life,
which someone has tried to take. Yet
expect you will see that my death
would be little gainful to England"
A second curt gesture cut short Sc.
bcrt's rather embarrassed protest.
Here are no fine words needed.
Listen to the manner in which the
deed was committed. Shortly before
the end of the winter, it happened
that Ulf Jarl saw the cooks scullion
pour something into a broth that was
intended for me to eat. Suspecting
evil, he forced the fellow instead to
swallow it, and the result was that,
that night, the boy died.
The Etheling exclaimed in horror:
MY lord! know you whence be got
it?"
You prove a good guesser to know
that 1t was not his crime" the King
said dryly. "A little while ago, |
found out that he got It from the
British woman who is nurse to Elf
giva of Northampton"
To this, the new Marshal volun-
tecred no answer whatever, but drew
his breath in sharply, as though he
found himself in deep water; and the
King spoke on.
IL did not suspect the Lady of
Northampton having evil designs
toward me, because-because she is
more prosperous in every respect
while am alive; and now that belief
is proved true, for | am told for GER
tain that, the day before the British
woman gave the boy the liquid, a
Danishman gave the British woman
an herb to make a drink Of" He
paused, and his voice became slower
and much harder, as though he were
curbing his feelings with iron. Since
you have heard the Norman rumor,"
he said. "'it is likely that you have

Half in surprise, half in embarrass-

them that the moment had come
which must, once and forever, decide
their future relations. ...............

CHAPTER XIV.
Pixie-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
1t came to him dimly as a strange
thing how so small matter as a slip
of a girl in 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 it's golden cup
toward the sun, it only gave to his
pointless restlessness a poisoned barb.
Involuntary his first thought was,
1T would look like 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
it's work, for after that he knew that
neither the promise of the springtime
nor the fullness of the harvest would
bring him any pleasure, since his e.es
must see them alone.
Like a new lease of life it came to
him when the last of the April days
brought the long-delayed summons to
the King. The old cniht, who consid-
