Will carleton's Own Story.

VIII Carleton, the poet and lectur-
er, was lecturing in Western city
several years ago, when, on leaving
the platform he was accosted by
pleasant, shabby looking old woman.
"Lir. Carleton" she said, Il want to
ask you a great favor. VIII you give
me the handkerchief you carried while
YOU lectured this evcning?"
WHY, what on earth do you want
tnat for?'
Il am very poor, MIR. Carleton" she
said. land if you give me that hand
kerchief l think l can live on it q

Mr.. Carleton stared. "a year! You
shall certainly have it," and the old
woman retil ed with the handkerchief.
profusely thanking him. Later Mr..
Carleton learned that she had en-
broidered his name on it and "rafiled"
it so eXter sively that she did make
several hundred dollars, enough to
keep her for a year.-Pittsburg Dig

Honors Mere Even.

Maxfield Parrish, the illustrator, has
n picturesque house in Vermont and
from this pleasant home he often
makes excursions into the widest and
most isolated parts of tie State.
During recent visit 10 New York
Mr.. Parrish said
Il stopped overnight at lonely Yer
mont farm last month. The house
commanded a barren and desolate
landscape. 1t was anything but gay.

| had with the farmer as he showed
me to my bed.
"A very quiet place, said.
"It is said he.
"Does a newspaper ever find its
way here?'
Seldom
Then 1 said, you don't hear
much of what is going on in New
York, eh?'
NO said the farmer grimly, but

in New York of what is going on here.

His words were cut short by a
horn-blast from the darkness, loud and
clear above the whistling wind. Jests
and laughter died on the lips that
bore them, and with one accord the
men turned in their seats to watch
their master.
His face had sobered as he listened; (;
before the first echo had died away
he had spoken swiftly to the fellow
at his side. "Celric, get you down to
the guard at the gate and inquire into
the meaning of that"
When the henchman had left, he
began sharp questioning of the SEN
tinel, and the noise did not begin
again. In the quiet, the tap Of the
mans feet upon the steps was audible
long before he reached the waiting
roomful. Every eye fastened itself
upon the curtained doorway.
Swinging back, the arras disclosed
a face full of amazement. Lord"
the man said, "it is Danes! None
know how many or how they came
there. And their chief has sent you a
messenger"
"Danes!" For the first time in the
history of Ivarsdale, the word was
spoken with an accent of relief.
The page turned from the fire with
a cry of bitter rejoicing: "If it is
Canute, l will go to him."
In the revulsion of his feelings, the
Etheling laughed outright. "Since it
is not Edmund, l care not if it be the
Evil One himself; and 1t cannot be he.
for Canute is in Mercia." Beckoning
to Morcard, he began to consult him
concerning the most effective ar
rangement of the sentinels; and there
was muffied clatter of weapons as
men went to and fro with hasty steps
When all was ready the messenger
was brought in between guards
Wrapped in dirty sheepskins, he
staggered to the center Of the room
Pitching his cloak higher on his
shoulders, he fastened his eyes on a
hole in the tapestry behind the Ethel

ing's chair and began monotonously
to recite his lesson: "Rothgar, the
son of Lodbrok, sends you greeting.
Sebert Oswaldsson; and it is his will
that you surrender to him the odal
and Tower of Ivarsdale; as is right,
because the odal was created and the
Tower built by Ivar Vidfadmi, who
was the first son of Lodbrol and the
fathers fathers father of my chief"
In spite of himself, he was obliged to
stop to take in breath.
In the pause, the page bent toward
his master, his face alight with a sud
den fierce triumph. Lord" he whis-
pered, you can never get out, You
are caught as though they had you in
a trap!"
Astounded, Sebert drew back to
stare at him. 'Fridtjof! 1t is not pos
sible that you are unfaithful to mel"
The boys only answer was to drop
down upon the step and bury his face
in his hands. And now the messen-
ger had recovered his wind and hrs
place.
"Since the time of Alfred" he went
on, my chief and his kin have been
kept out Of the property by your stock
and you; yet because he does not
wish to look mean, he offers you to
go out in safety with all of your
housefolk, both men and women, and
as much property as you can walk
under-n you go quietly and in
peace"
The Etheling's voice was very deep
and quiet. "If we go in peace" he
repeated slowly. And if we do not?"
The Dane shrugged his burly shoul-
ders. There are no terms for that.
You will find it necessary to take
what comes.''
Again there was silence.
Sebert put his last question: "How
long does the son of Lodbrok give
me to consider how l am to order
things?"
The man shattered the silence with
his boisterous laughter. MY chief
gives you no time at all. So long a
time, he has studied out, will it take
me to come in to you; so much longer
to do my errand; and so much longer
to get back. At the end of that time
he will blow his horn, and If your
gates do not fly open in abedience,
he will take that for your answer"

sparks flashing from the steel Of his

lords great hall, the feast of the bar

Where the glow lay rosiest, the
young lord sat in the great raised
chair, jesting with his Danish page

Now the boys answering provoked
him to laughter, and he put out a
hand and tousled the thick curls in
his favorite caress,
Like quieting hand, the first of

For a space after he had finished,

Above the confusion rose the voice
of the brawniest of the henchmen,
passing his judgment on the ballad.

WAS GREELEY MAN
Ed Trudeau, Who Was Murdered
in Montana.

Word has been received here that
Edmond Truoeau, Cor many years a
resident OF the vicinity OF Greeley,
had been murdered near MIssoula,
Mont, February Is. Trudeau lived
on the Delta for about fourteen years
and conducted u dairy farm. About
fifteen years ago he moved with his
family to Missoula, Mont.
Dispatches from Missoula state
that Mr.. Trudeau was one Of the
most highly respected residents of
western Montana. He was shot by
man named Herman Parsons, who
was afterward captured by posse Of
deputy sheriffs, after dangerously
wounding one member Of the posse.
A dance was being conducted at
Lolo, small mining camp near Mis-
soula, and Parsons was creating a
disturbance. Trudeau tried to quiet
him, but without avail. Finally, 1t
is said, Parsons went to his cabin
short distance away and brought a
rifle. Trudeau hearing that Parsons
had returned with a weapon, went
out to look for him. Parsons, who
was concealed behind set Of scales,
fired as soon as Trudeau came into
the street, the bullet taking eject In
the right lung, causing death almost
instantly
John Trudeau, brother OF de-
ceased, also lived In this vicinity and
up to three years ago owned farm
near Hardin, the same that is now
owned by Con Hefferman. He now
lives at Missoula. Both men are we'll
and favorably known In Greeley.
