and the signal set the whole party in
motion.
Randalin heard his words. but at
the moment she was too deep in angry
embarrassment to heed them. 1t
seemed to her that every eye in the
throng was fastened upon her as she
walked forward, that every mouth
buzzed comment behind her. 1t was
not until she was in the saddle that

The powerful black charger, which
a groom led toward her. had been
paving and arching his glossy neck
impatiently since the first horn set
his blood-drops dancing; at the touch
of her foot upon the stirrup, he snort
ed with satisfaction through his wide
flaring nostrils and would have leaped
forward like stone from a sling, If
the man had not hung himself upon
the bit. The girl awoke to surprise
as she barely managed to reach her
seat by the most agile of cprings.
"This is not the horse ride, Dudda!

"He is-the horse-that King Can

panted, as he struggled to keep his
footing. "He said to fetch-Praise

silver horn gave the signal, and he
was free to leap aside.

laugh.

II is not the Kings intention to pun

CHAPTER XVII.
A ROYAL Reckoning.

Whether from policy or necessity
the guest-house Of Gloucester Abbey
was surrendered to the royal band
with open-armed hospitality. Now a
tournament of games in the riverside
meadows took up the day, now a pa
geant UP the river itself; again, a
ride with the hawks or run after
the hounds-and the nights were one
long revel.

weapon, returned verdict of guilty of
a simple assault The case was tried

it was not until o'clock last evening
that the verdict was reached
Holmes is considered very fortunate
man. In fight at the Iroquois build
ing he put three white men hors de
combat. Two shots were fired one of
which struck one of the white men.
There was a dispute as to who fired
the shot. The white men claimed that
Holmes did the shooting but Holmes
denied it. The jury evidently accepted
Holmes story as to how the fight
occurred. He claimed that he was
jumped onto by the white men and
merely defended himself with his fists.
Had Holmes been found guilty as
charged he would have had a peniten-
tiary sentence before him. Attorney

full achievements But the innate
modesty of the man, his dignifed
reticence and his hatred of every
thing that smacks of display or os-
tentation has made him one of the
least known of public men in the
Empire state.
Alton Brooks Parker was born at
Cortland, N. Y, May IA, 1851. His
father was a farmer and young
Parker spent II years of his life on
the farm. For three years he attend
ed the little district school. during
the winter, and worked in the sum-
mer.
When IL years of age he went to
the Cortland academy, and earned
enough money out Of class hours to
pay his tuition and expenses for three
years. At the age of Is he heard that
the village school at Virgil, near
Cortland, needed husky teacher.
Parker needed the money and he got
the Job. He subdued the fractions
pupils, continued his studies between
times at the Cortland Normal school,
and saved enough money to start
him at the Albany Law school. from
which he graduated in 1872.
The future Judge then became a
clerk In the law firm Of Shoemaker
g. Hardenbergh at Kingston. On the
advice of Judge Schoonmaler young
Parker took an interest in politics.
AS a result he was elected surrogate
of Ulster county twice, on the demo-
cratic ticket, although Ulster county
is a republican stronghold. He was
appointed by Governor Hill to the SUI
preme bench to fill q vacancy in 1885,
and was reelected q year later for
u years. So highly was he esteemed
that the republicans put no candidate
against him.
In the meantime, Parker managed
HIS second campaign for governor,
united all the warning factions and
won. In January. 1889, q second d.
