Meanwhile the king was speaking
affably: 'As you did not favor us
with your presence among the Wise
Men, my lord. il is likely that you
do not know of the good luck which
has befallen our cause. This prudent
Earl. who before the battle had con-
cluded with himself that England
had 80 little TO hope for from our
reign that he was willing TO throw
his weight against us. has found his
victory SO without relish that he has
become our sworn ally.
"In former days ! think there was
some hostile temper between the earl

Every eye was fastened upon the
two by the FIRE. Freeman and his
leader, or feudal lord and his depend
ant? For the moment they stood
forth as representatives OF a mighty
conflict. and every breath hung upon
their motions.
Then there was no longer any
doubt concerning the position OF

THE PIANO CONTEST.

AS the contest was announced to
close at D p. m. on the evening of
December 31st, and as the date for
issuing this copy of the DEMOCRAT is
Friday, January 1st, we could not
conveniently get the result of the final
count without holding our paper back
two days. Rather than do this, we
shall, on the End inst, issue DEMO
Graf EXTRA which will give the re-
suit of the final count of votes, be-
lieving that our readers would rather
get their DEMOCRATS at the regular
time and the result of the contest a
few days later than to have the paper
delayed.
Therefore, look for the DEMOCRAT
