threw up his hands and sank to his
knees. Round he sprang and there
upon his feet stood that man whom
they had thought dead and i'm his hand
a bloody sword. At him leapt Wulf,
and so fierce were the blows he smote
that the first swept through his sword
arm and the second shore through
cloak and mail deep into the thiefs
side; so that this time he fell never to
stir again. Then he looked at his
brother and saw that the blood was
running down his face and binding
him.
Save yourself, Wulf, for I am sped, 3"
murmured Goodwin.
NAY, or you could not speak" And
he cast his arm round him and kissed
him on the brow.
Then a thought came into his mind
and lifting Goodwin as though he we're
a child, he ran back to where the
horses stood, and heaved him onto the
saddle.
Hold fast" he cried, by name and
pommeL Keep your mind, and hold
fast will save you yet"
Then, passing the reins over his left
arm, Wulf leapt upon the back Of his
own horse, and turned in Ten sec

Bargain Days for
Buying Prizes

my one objection to the return of
the card-playing season is the fact that
shall probably add to an already CO.
pious supply of ugly sofa pillows"
So walled a clever woman who be-
longs to no less than three progressive
card clubs during the special season,
and she doubtless voices the feelings
of many woman who has won cush-
| ion after cushion by her skillful card
playing, and many husband who has
been forced to carry the cushions
home. The average woman prefers
to select her own cushions in keeping
with the furnishings of her home. Exit
the cushion as a prize.
The woman who is spending the
summer out of town will do well to de-
vote little time during her next shop
ping excursion in town to picking UP
prizes for the winter campaign. All the
| bric-a-brac and jewelry departments of
the big stores are setting forth real
bargains eminently suited to the needs
of the hostess.
A notable instance can be seen in the
deposit silverware, which is still en-
joying a decided vogue. This ware
shows silver inlaid in glass, the usual
design being a floral one or a butter
fly pattern. The glass foundation may
be white, green, red or blue, but either
the white or green is the better selec-
ton, as they combine best with the
silver as well as the furnishings of
rooms. A tall vase suitable for holding
roses can be bought in this ware for
six and half dollars, smaller pieces
being at proportionately low rates
Another popular ware for prizes is a
dull brass. A handsome trophy is a
desk set showing a large, dark green
plotting pad with corners of dull brass.
A double inkstand, clamp and paper
weight, all in the Gothic pattern, make
up the set and can be bought complete
for fifteen dollars. Less expensive are
the desk fittings in gold in gold plated
enamel, in delft blue, rose pink and
reseda green.
For the fair woman who makes much
of her toilet outfit. an appropriate
prize would be one of those miniature
cabinets in Chinese lacquer. They pos

The MorganS Are Descended from Welsh Kings

Born of the sea. or son OF the
sea, is the literal meaning of the name
Morgan. The word is of Cymric de-
rivation; muir, sea and gin, begot-
ten.
Legends and classic lore, interwov-
en- with the name. have to do with
Aphrodite, born in the foam of the
sea, and with King Arthur, who was
carried away to the Isle of Avalon by
his sister, the fairy Morgana, the fair
skinned"
Translated into Greek, the name be-
comes Pelagius, of the sea. The monk
of the fourth century known as Pela-
gius was plain Thomas Morgan.
Morgan and Margan are other forms
of the name.
Wales has been the stronghold of
the Morgens. where the name appears
as ap-Morgan. A story is told of an
Englishman travelling through Wales.
One dark night while riding along he
heard a cry of distress proceeding APP
parently from a man fallen into a
ravine.
Help, master, help!"
Help? What? Who are you?"
queried the traveller.
"Jenkin- p-Griffth-ap- Robinson ap

the response.
