by is asked for and not earned"
All. that's it, is it?'' said the other
with nod. but for such a trade you
need your weapons by your side.'
THE deadliest weapons" rejoined
the King, mysteriously, ARE not al
ways those most plainly on view. The
sting of the wasp is generally felt
before it is SEEN"
The landlord was plainly disturbed
by the intelligence he had received, and
now made some ado to get the change
for the gold piece, but his guest replied
airily that 1t did not matter.
With whatever's coming to me-" he
said, feed the next beggar that applies
to you on a rainy night with less at his

yes, and beyond 1t, 1 warrant"
That will be interesting" replied
the King. Good day to you"
Entering the forest at last, he re-
Taxed no precaution, but kept to the
middle Of the road with his stout stick
ready in his hand. At the second turn
ing five stalwart ruffians fell upon him,
two armed with knives and three with
cudgels. The Kings early athletic
training was to be put to a practical
test His first action was to break the
wrist of one OF the scoundrels who held
a knife, but before he could pay any
attention to any Of the others he had
received two or three resounding
blows from the cudgels, and now was
fully occupied warding off their
strokes, backing down the road to keep
his assailants in front Of him. His
great agility gave him an advantage
over the comparative clumsiness of the
four yokels who pressed him, but he
was we'll aware that any unguarded
blow might lay him at their mercy. He
was more afraid of the single knife
than of the three clubs, and, springing
through a fortunate opening, was de-
lighted to crack the crown of the man
who held the blade, stretching him
helpless in a cart rut. The three who
remained seemed in no way disheart-
ened by the discontinue of their COM
rades. but came on with greater fury.
The King retreated and retreated
battling their evident desire to get in
his rear, and thus the fighting four
came to the corner of the road that
James had passed a short time previ-
ously. One Of the trio got in a nasty
crack on the top of the beggar's bon
net, which brought him to his knees,
and before he could recover his footing
blow on the shoulder felled him.

1T does that" replied the stranger,
still struggling with his mirth; then,
striking the King on the shoulder, he
continued: Il suppose there is not an
other man in all broad Scotland to-day
but me that wouldn't give the snap Of
his finger for all the gold you ever car
ried"
"Then you must be wealthy" COM
mented the King. Yet it can't be
that, for the richest men I know are
the greediest."
mo, it isn't that" rejoined the
stranger, "but if you wander anywhere
about this region you will understand
what 1 mean when I tell you that I'm
Badly Hutchinson
Badly Hutchinson!" echoed the
King, wrinkling his brows, trying to
remember where he had heard that
name before: then, with sudden en-
lightenment:
What. not the man who is to be
hanged to-day at ST Ninians?"
The very same; so you see that all
the gold ever minted is of little use to
a man with a tightening rope around
his neck" And the comicality of the
situation again overcoming Mr.. Hutch
inson, his robust sides shook once more
with laughter.
The King stopped in the middle of the
road and stared at his companion with
amazement.
Surely you are aware" he said at
last, that you are on the direct road
to st. Ninians?"
Surely, surely" replied Badly. land
you remind me that we must not stand
yammering here, for there will be a
great gathering there to see the hang
ing. All my friends are there now, and
if 1 say it, who shouldn't. I've more
friends than possibly any other man in
this part of Scotland"
But do you mean that you are going
voluntarily to your own hanging? Bless
my soul, man, turn in your tracks and
make for across the border"
Hutchinson shook his head.

Let US see the cobbler before running

But, man, the cobbler Will be at St

There will be no pardon at St

Then you are do med man. tell

burst Of Impotence, James cried,

At first the big man seemed inclined
to laugh, and he looked over the beg

tenance, and he spoke soothingly to his
comrade.

tinued Hutchinson mildly, in the tone
that he would have used toward Il

first that's said it. But let us get on

quite right said the King, land
only fair Scottish caution" Then, with
a lack Of that quality he had just COM
mended, he drew his belt out from un-
der his coat and taking a gold piece
from il threw the coin on the table.
The entrance Of the King and the
manner Of his reception exposed him to
the danger almost sure to attend the
display Of so much wealth in such for
bidding country. A moment later he
realized the jeapordy in which his rash
ness had placed him by the significant
glances which the half-doZen rough
men there seated gave to each other.
He was alone and unarmed in a dis
reputable bothy on the edge Of forest,
we'll known as the refuge Of desperate
characters.
When the time came to retire, his
host brought the King by a ladder to
a loft which occupied the whole length
of the building, and muttered some
thing about the others sleeping here
as well, but thanked heaven there
was room enough for an army.
This will not do for me-" said the
beggar, coming down again. I'll take
to the storm first. What is this cham
Der leading out from the taproom 2"
THAT is my own" replied the land
lord, with some return of his own in
civility "and I'll give it up to no beg
gar"
The King without answering opened
the door of the chamber and found
himself in a room that could be bar
ricaded. Taking a light with him, he
examined it more infinitely.
rs this matchbox loaded?" he
asked, pointing to a clumsy gun,
which had doubtless caused the death
Of more than one deer in the forest.
The landlord answered in surly
fashion that il was. but the King
tested the point for himself.
NO" he said. II rest here, and you
will see that I am not disturbed. Any
gets the contents Of this gun in him,
and I'll trust' TO my two daggers to
take care Of the rest"
He had no dagger with him, but
he spoke for the benefit of the COM
pany in the taproom: Something in
his resolute manner seemed to i'm
press the landlord, who grumbled,
muttering half to himself and half TO
his companions, but he nevertheless
retired, leaving the King alone, where
upon James fortified the door, and
afterward slept unmolested the sleep
of tired man, until broad day woke
him.
Which way may your honor be
5ourneying?" asked the inkeeper, "for
I see that you are no beggar."
Il am no beggar at such an inhos-
pitable house as this" replied the
wayfarer, but elsewhere I am a beg
gar-that is to say, the gold I come

At this critical juncture there rose
wild shout down the road, for the fight
ing party, in coming round the turn,
had brought themselves within view Of
sturdy pedestrian forging along at
great pace, which he nevertheless mar
Velously accelerated on seeing the me-
lee. For a moment the dazed man on
the ground thought that the landlord
had come to his rescue, but not so.
1t seemed as If a remnant Of the storm
had swept like whirlwind among the
aggressors, for the newcomer in the
fray, with savage ordinations which
showed his delight in a tumult, scat
tered the enemy as tornado drives be-
fore 1t the leaves Of a forest. The
King raised himself on his elbow and
watched the gigantic stranger lay
about him with his stick, while the
five, with cries of terror, disappeared
into the forest, for the two that were
PROSTATE had now recovered wind
enough to run.
"Losh," painted the giant, returning
to the man on the road, II wish I'd
been here at the beginning"
Thank goodness you came at the
end, said> the King, staggering I'M
steadily to his feet.
Are you hurt?" asked the stranger
I'm not just sure yet" replied the
King, removing his bonnet and rub
bling the top of his head with a cir
cular movement of his hand.
What's wrong WI those scamps to
lay on poor beggar MANI" asked the
stranger.
Nothing. except that the beggar
man is not so poor as he looks and
has belt Of gold about him which he
was foolish enough to show last night
at the inn where these lads were drink
ing"
Then the lesson hasn't taught you
much, or you wouldn't say that to a
complete stranger in tie middle of a
black forest, aud you alone with him
thot is, unless they've succo eded in
reiving the belt away from your"
mo, they have not robbed me. and
to show you that I am not such a
fool as you take me for may add that
the moment you came up resolved to
give to my rescuer every gold piece
that is in my belt. So. you see, if lou
thought of robbing me, there little
use in taking by force what a man is
more than willing to give you of his
own free will"
The giant threw back his head and
the wood resounded with his laughter
What have said seems to amuse
you." said the King, not too well
pleased at the boisterous merriment of
his companion.

them down among the assemblage az
the foot Of the scaffold. The King
and his henchman staggered to their
feet and beat of as well as they
could the multitude that pressed voct-
ferously upon them. A soldier strug-
Cling through tried to arrest the beg
gar man, but the King nimbly wrested
his sword from him and circled tho
blade in the air with a venomous hiss
of steel that caused the nearer portion
of the mob to press back eagerly, as a
moment before they had pressed for
ward. The man who swung a blade
like that was certainly worthy OF re-
spect, be he beggar or monarch. The
cobbler's face was grimed and bleed
ing. but the Kings newly won sword
cleared space around him And
now the believing voice OF Badly
Hutchinson made itself heard above
the din.
