Contraband Tobacco in Engiand

What becomes of the contraband to-
bacco seized by the customs? The
early practice was to bury it. This
senseless waste was suspended for a
time by the happy idea of distributing
the tobacco among the troopships.
That did not last long and next
year we hear of the contraband. being
smoked in the Queens pipe" huge
receptacle which could turn hun
dreds of tons into smoke in a few
hours" Again the misgivngs of tho
waste troubled the authorities, and
they took to regaling the criminal
!unatics in certain government asy-
lums. Any tobacco that was left over
was ordered for the use of troops sent
on foreign service. But that luxury
seems to have been cut off once more,
although the criminal lunatcs still
enjoy their pipes and cigars.
One attempt was made to throw
the contraband, when it was slightly
damaged, on the market, but this
caused an outcry from the tobacco
trade The whole story is a pleasing
tribute to the intelligence which ad-
ministers the public service.-Macmil.

ed it. The crown of Canute's shin
ing locks reached only to the chin OF
the mighty lronside; and the width of
nearly two palms was needed on his
shoulders.
The young king alone appeared Sc
rcnely undisturbed. When he had sa.
luted the lronside with royal courtesy,
he met his sword as though he were
beginning practicing bout with his
fos ter brother.
Humped over the earth. with start
ing eyes and necks stretched to their
uttermost, the Danes were like so
many bouders. Nor did Frode's
daughter seem to feel that the hand
the Brass One had raised himself up
on was crushing her foot.
Canute's weapon, playing with the
lightness of sunbeam, had evaded
the stroke of the great fail and
touched for an instant the shoulder
of its wielder. Had he put a pound

ever, that no cheer went up from the
English-only low buzz that was
half of anger. half of astonishment.
Certainly there was no Berserk mad
ness about the young Danishman;
there was hardly even seriousness.
Now his blade was fleeing will O..
the-wisp, keeping just out of reach of
Edmund's brand with apparently no
thought but of flight. Now, when the
Ironside's increasing vehemence be-
trayed him into an instant's rashness,
it was humming-bird darting into
fiower-cup. But it always rose again
as daintily as it had alighted.
The Danish bank was frantic with
excitement. "It is the dance Of the
Northern Light" they cried. Thor
has sent him his own sword!"
The lines of English were wild with
anger. Crush him, the hornet, tho

shaggy head into the lap of the red
cloaked page. Il must do something

your hair-yOu look near enough like
handsome woman. Do you bend
and kiss me every time Canute pricks

His head fell to the ground with a

her feet.

whispered. Il Will caress you with

gathered before the bulging eyes.
Snorri rolled back with alacrity and
an oath; and after moment Frode's
daughter dropped down again and hid
her face in her hands. If the king
should be slain and she be left adrift
in this foul sea! She might as well
have screamed as moaned, for all that
they would have noticed.
About this time Canute's blade ap-
peared to have become in earnest
Ceasing its airy defense, 1t took on
the aggressive. Before the sudden
fury of the onslaught Edmund gave
back pace. And either because his
anger made him reckless or his great
bulk was against him, he presently
was forced to draw back another step.
Widest cheers went up from the
Mortimer. 1t seemed as though they
would wado in body across the
river.
Only Eric of Norway stamped with
uneasiness; and the overhanging brows
Of Thorkel the Tall were as lowering

Northern King was speaking. eager

gesture. while the English King list
ened motiOnless.
Has he got out of his Wits" the
Scar-Cheek roared. fairly dancing with
impatience
In Randalin's face a fash of memory
was struggling with bewilderment.
Other weapons than those which
dwell in sheaths." Had he meant the
sword Of speech" his tongue?
With the deliberate grace which
characterized his every motion. the
Ironside slid his sword back to its
case, and they saw him take slow
step forward and slowly extend his
hand. Then they saw Canute spring
to meet him, and their palms touch in
long grasp.
From the English shore there went
up joyful shout of Peace" And a
deafening clamor rose in answer from
the Danish bank. But what sentiment
predominated in that it would be iffi-
cult to say. Blended with rejoicing
over their kings safety were cries OF
bitter disappointment. the cries OF
thirsty men who have seen wine
dashed from their lips.
In their retreat the two Northern
jarls and the young monarch's foster.
father faced each other uncertainty.
Here Is mystery" Eric OF Norway
said at last. Il should be thankful if
you would tell me whether he thought
it unwise to kill the Englishman be-
fore the face of his army; or whether
he is in truth struck with love to-
ward him, as the fools seem to be-
lieve?"
"Or whether he had reached the ex-
act limit of his strength so that he
was obliged to save himself by some
trick of words?" Ulf Jarl suggested
The Tall One shook his head slow
ly. Now, as always, it is he alone
who can altogether explain his ac-
tions. 1t might easily be that in his
mad impatience he overhauled his
strength, SO that he was obliged to
stop short to keep within bounds. But
| think you will find that there is still
some trick which is not open to our
sight. His man-wit is deepening very
fast; I will not be SO bold as to say
that l can always fathom it."

By their faces, the others appeared
to agree with him; but before they
could express themselves a swimmer
rose like dripping seal out OF the
water at their feet.

cried breathlessly. And it is the

The rush of the crowd to the water

Randalin her chance for freedom and
she was not slow in taking it. A
moment more. and she was in the
very top of the willow tree, clasping
her hands and wringing them in alter
