A while canute's keen eyes weighed
him; then their sky was cleared OF the
last cloud. The best expression OF
which his brilliant face was capable
was on it as he turned and held out
his hand to the girl beside him.
Shall we pledge our friendship
anew, Frode's daughter" was all he
said; but she knew from his look that
he had taken her under his shield for
all time to come. For an instant, as
she yielded her trembling fingers to
his palm, her cropping spirit turned and
cluag to him, craving his sympathy.
1t seemed that he OWNED the ap-
peal. for with the hand that pressed
her he drew her forward a step. rs

he said kindly; and without waiting
for an answer, moved away and Joined
a group Of those who had been his
companions before the interruption.
At last she stood face to face with
the man she loved, face to face, and
alone. And still he neither spoke to
her nor looked at her! So strange
and terrible was it all that it gave
her resolution to speak and end it. Her
Viking blood could not color her
checks, but her Viking courage found
her whisper in which to offer her
plea for the "sun-browned boybred
wench."

some one too much, knowing no more

And after the bonds were laid on me,
it was not easy to rule matters. The
helplessness of woman is before the
eyes Of all people"
His words broke through hers: mo

broken and unsteady as she had never
known it. who am | that | should

that it had swept over hiI afresh how
much he did owe her. l-rhaps also
how much he had promised 70 pay?
At last he turned and came a step
nearer her, courtly and noble as he
had always been. II owe to you every
thing have. even life ITSELF he said.
"and l offer them all in payment of
the debt. May | ask the king to give
you to me for my wife?'
In it's infinite gentleness, his voice
was almost tender. For as long as the
space between one breath and the next,
her spirit leaped up and stretched out
its arm to its joy; but she stayed it on
the theshold of utterance to look fear
fully into his face, whose every shade
was open to her as the day. Looking
into his eyes, she knew that it was
no more than pity. He guessed that
she loved him and he pitied her; but
he could not forgive her unmaidenli.
ness, he could not love her.

AS the visi ,ors passed through the

What is that whistling." the visit

The head forester, laughing, an

That is our whistling tree playing

The tree stood in the sun. The
breeze rocked It's branches. and a
clear chorus, as of flutes, arose.
WELL" murmured a man, this is
almost uncanny."
THE tree" said the forester,
comes from the Soudan. You per-

Well, it is these pods that do the
whistling. They are hollow. and
holes, caused by the wind or by in
sects, perforate them. Thus they are
musical instruments-penny whistles.
Blown through by the breeze they
give forth a fiutelike sound"
The south wind bent the tree almost
to the ground, and the music was
shaken forth loud and sweet.
