RnsuFF was CUTTING ONE.
Fitting Retort of MAD Poet" to ar
Jngentlcmsniy Remark.

1N9cnttcfldHiy NSfHoiNs
Many stories are told of Mcdonald
Clarke, known fifty years ago in New
York as the mad poet" which show
that he had a vein of great shrewd-
ness, such as is often possessed by
people who are counted insane.
One day he was seated at a table
In a New York hotel quietly eating his
simple dinner when two young men
took their seats at the same table.
Mcdonald Clarke was "a well known
figure, and the young men at once
recognized him though he did not
know them.
They were not gentlemen in the
best sense of the word, and 1t oc'
CURED to them that they might have
some sport with the poor poet. Cen
sequently one of them said in an un.
necessarily clear tone:
81 have seen almost everything and
everybody in New York except Nc
Donald Clarke. have great admira
tion for his poems, and ! would give
a great deal to see the man."
When he passed the mad poet lean
ed forward and said with evident
qualification:
"Sir. am Mcdonald Clarke, whom
you say you wish to see."
The young man stared at him with
much rudeness for a moment, and
then drawing quarter from his
pocket he laid it on the poets plate
saying, That's for the sight!"
Clarke looked at the coin for an in
slant, and then placing 1t in his pock
ct, he took out York shilling" 12h
cents. This he handed to the youne
man. saying gravely, Children hall
price"

than her companion, and her face
was wrinklcd parchment whereon
Time had written some terrible les
sons.
Sho said gently, 1--WE are one with
the dead, beloved sister. Those who
lie under the chancel lay no safer than
We, last night, though the Pagans'
passing tread shook the ground we lay
on, and their songs broke our slum-
bers"
The shadows deepened in the eyes
OF Sister Wynfreda as she turned them
back toward the lane. for her patience
was not yet ripe to perfect mellow
ness.
"The peace of the grave can never
be mine while my heart is open to the
sorrows of Others" she answered with
sadness. SISTER Sexberga, that was
an English band which passed last
night. l am in utmost fear for the
Danes of Avalcomb."
They that take the sword shall
perish with the sword,'" the old nun
quoted. little sternly. "An English
man was despoiled OF his lands
when Erode the Dane took Avalcomb.
II now Frode's turn has come"
Her companion made gesture of
entreaty. 1T Is not Tor Erode that I
am timorous. dear sister. nor Tor the
boy. Fridtjof; it is for Randalin, his
daughter"
Sister Sexberga was some time ST.
lent. When at last she spoke. 1t was
but TO repeat slowly. "Randalin, his
daughter. God pity her!"
Sister Wynfreda was no longer lis
tening. She had quilted her hold
upon the gate and taken a step for
ward. straining her eyes. Out of
tall mass of golden bloom at the far
-tker end Of the lane, an arm clad in
brown homesppn had tossed itself for
one delirious instant. Trailing her
robes over the dGisied grass, the nun
came upon a wounded man lying face
downward in the tangle.
When the united strength of the
four arms had turned the limp weight
upon its back, a cry OF astouishment
rose from each throat.
The woodward of Avalcomb,"
The hand OF the Lord hath fallen!"
After q moment the younger woman
said In a trembling voice, "The whis-
per In my heart spoke truly. Dearest
sister, put your arm under here. and
we will get him to his feet and bring
him in. and he viii tell us what has
happened. See! He Is shaking o9
his swoon. After be has swallowed
some Of your wine. he will be able to
speak and tell us"
II was muscle-breaking work Tor
women's backs, for though he tried in
stinctively to obey their directions,
the man was scarcely conscious; his
arms were like lead yokes upon his
supporters shoulders. Just within the
gate their strength gave out. and they
were forced to put him down among
the spicy herbs. There. as one was
pulling on her threadbare cloak to
make him pillow, and the other was
starting after her cordial. he opened |
his ewes.

In the chapel four feeble old voices
raised chant that trembled and
shook like quivering heart-string
Tremulously sweet it drifted out ovel
the garden and blended with the aroma
In the air. The wounded man smiled
through his pain.
The chant ceased, the wayerinn
treble dying away in a note of haunt
ing sweetness. The man moaned and
clutched at his wound; and the bowed
figure by his side reused herself tc
tend him. Then grating of rusty
hinges made her turn her head.
Under the crumbling arch, relieved
against the green of the lane beyond
stood the figure of a slender boy
wrapped in mantle of scarlet that
bore a strangely familiar look.
Sister Wynfreda rose and took a
step forward, staring at him in bewild.
erment
"Fridtjof?"- she questioned.
Al the sound of her voice, the boy
turned and hastened toward her. Then
great cry burst from Sister Wyn-
freda. for the face under the black
locks was the face of Randalin.
She made a convincing boy, this
daughter of the Vikings. Though she
was sixteen. her graceful body had re-
tanned most of the lines and slender
curves OF childhood; and she was long
OF limb and broad OF shoulder. A life
out-of-doors had given to her skin a
tone OF warm brown, which, in a land
that expected women to be lily-fair.
was like a mask added to her dis
guise. The blackness of her hair was
equally unconnected with Northern
dreams of beautiful maidens. Some
fair-tressed ancestor back In the past
must have qualified his blood from
the veins of an Irish captive; In no
other way could one account for those
locks. and for her eyes that were of
the grayish blue of iris petals.
The eyes were little staring this
morning. as though still stretched
wide with the horror of the things
they had looked upon; and all the
glowing red blood had ebbed away
from the brown cheeks.
ohS coiu III iOW tOict, MY Idtler
!. II. Fridtjof :" then stopped
to draw long hard breath through
her set teeth.
Sister Wynfreda ran to the girl and
caught her tremblingly by the hands.
Praise the Lord that you are de-
livered whole to mel" she breathed.

Gazing at her out of horror-filled
eyes. Randalin stood quite still In her
embrace. Her story came from her
In jerks. aud each fragment seemed
to leave her breathless. though she
spoke slowly.

stood around me In a ring. Norman
Leofwinesson said he would carry
me before a priest and marry me. SO
