II was n hot, sultry July morning.
The harvesting season on the farm OF

Reluctantly Julia took basket and
went out, knowing full well what II
meant to search for wood for had she
not done so many times before, and
knew there was hardly n spliEter left

Mrs. Frost wiped the beads of per

Keeping Voter. from Polls.

Some years ago an Englishman,
when travelling in Spain, fell in with a
member Of the national parliament
who opposed the government. There
had been dissolution of parliament
and the Englisnman asked the Span
lard if he would be reelected "Oh,
no." he said, there is not a chance OF
it." Presently they arrived at the
principal town of this gentleman's )
constituency and he received a regu-
lar ovation on his way to the hotel.
Surely" saiG the Englishman, "you
are mistaken; you seem extremely
popular here" "Oh, yes" was the
reply, 81 am very popular. but I won't
get in, nevertheless" How will the
government prevent your getting in?"
was the rejoinder. "Oh, they have
all kinds Of methods. l will tell you
one. They will fix a polling place in
such and such d barn. A large and
very fierce mastiff is kept there and
when any one likely to vote for me
makes his appearance they will let the
beast loose"

his father. If it"
He said more, but Randalin did not
listen to him. All at once Sebert of
Ivarsdale reached out and taking her
by her cloak, drew her gently to his
side, interposing his sword arm be-
tween her and the others. Her head
dropped against his arm. and her
hands, ceasing their struggles. rested
in his grasp like folded wings.
1t had not taken moment; the in-
slant Norman finished his explanation
the Etheling was speaking quietly:
LAS the Lord Of Baddeby says, King
Edmund, it was who stayed the boys

him into camp. found him after the
battle, bleeding his life out in the
bushes. and brought him in my arms.

by my fire. Waking in the night and
missing him, l traced him thither.
With your consent, will attend to it

A momentary cordiality came into
the kings manner MY lord of WARS
dale! l am much beholden to you
Had any chance wrought evil to the
Lord of Baddeby while under my
safeguard, my honor would have been
as deeply wounded as my feelings"
The words of the Earls thane fairly
graZed the heels of the kings words:
THE imp can do no otherwise than
harm, my sovereign. Should he bring
his tongue TO Danish ears. he could
cause the utmost evil. l entreat you
to deliver the boy up to my keeping"
II am no less able than the Lord
Of Baddeby to restrain him." the Ethel
ing said with some warmth. IF it be
your pleasure. King Edmund. I will
keep him under my hand until the
end of the war, and answer for his
silence with my life The life of my
captive is mine, and am the last
man to permit it to be taken because
he sought just revenge. | know too
well how it feels to hate fathers

toward a half-seen figure that all this
time had stood motionless in the
shadow behind the king.

with a worn-out or brokan-dc'wn time
piece which his parents have thrown
away. After tinkering at it for a week
or two he gives it up in disgust. The
handspring, escapes and runs all over

Inventor Of Ice Cream.

A French chef who prepared a snow
like dish for the Due de Chartres in
1774 is said to have been the first to
make that cool luxury known as ice
cream. Lord Bacon was possessed Of
the knowledge that there was a
process of congealation by means Of
snow and salt; but to him this was
scientific fact. and he little dreamed
of, the idea that in after years this
congealation would prove such a de-
lightful refreshment. Iced drinks and
water ices were known to the Paris
ian epicures fully century and half
before they were introduced into Eng
land. These dainties, it is thought.
probably came from the Far East by
means Of some traveller, who probably
had tasted sherbet.

and yeoman-soldiers. sinsly and in
shadows ana placed themselves at
their chiefs back.
But though the kings brows had
met for an instant in a lowering arch,
some second thought controlled him.
When he spoke, mis- words were even
gracious: Il think the Lord Of Ivars-
dale has the right of it. The crime
the boy purposed was not carried out;
and in each case, Lord Sebert was his
captor. am content to trust to his
wardership.'
Sebert's frank face betrayed his
surprise at the complaisance, but he
gave his pledge and his thanks with
what courtliness he could muster, and
releasing his passive prisoner, pushed
her gently into the safekeeping Of
the old cniht Yet he was not SO
obtuse as to step back. as though the
incident were closed: he read the
kings infection more correctly than
that. Holding himself somewhat stiff
in the tenseness of his feelings. he
stood his ground in silent alertness.
A rustic of uneasiness crept the
round of the assembled mobiles. Only
the monarch's bland composure re-
manned unrufiled. Advancing with the
deliberate grace that so well became
his mighty person, he seated himself
upon convenient boulder and signed
the figure in the shadow to draw
nearer.
AS it obeyed, every one of the yeo-
men-soldiers strained his eyes in that
direction. as though hoping to surprise
in the great traitors face some secret
of his power. the power that had made
three kings as wax between his fin
gers! But just short of the fire-glow
the Gamer paused, and the hooded
cloak (which shrouded him merged
him hopelessly into the shadow. Only
the hand that rested on his sword-hilt
protruded into the light. 1t was a
broad hand, and thick-fngered as. q
butchers, and it was milk-white and
weighted with massave rings.
