Municipal Street Cars.

The report Of the tramways commit
tee OF the Nottingham (Eng) Council
shows that during the year ending
March 31st last the roads earned a net
profit Of ten per cent. (amounting to
$65. .000) This will be applied to re-
duction of city taxes. The electric
street car service having now been op-
Grated by the city for over three years
with handsome profit each year, and
with satisfaction to the people using It,,
Consul Mahin pronounces the under
taking success.
A rare feature Of this city operation
OF surface cars is the diminished acci-
dent list. During the year the total
number of miles Travelled by the cars
was 2,512,000. Yet in all this great dis
tance Travelled, largely through busy
thoroughfares, of which some are very
narrow, not one person was killed by
being run over. knocked down or col
lided with. OF forty-six pedestrians
who were knocked down by or fell in
front Of a car, all were either thrown
clear Of the car or picked up on the
life-guard without suffering serious in
jury. Twenty collisions occurred be-
tween cars and cyclists, while three
cyclists fell from their machines imme-
diately in front of moving cars and
were picked up on the life-guards un-
hurt.
One death and injuries-some very
trifing-to 367 persons resulted from
attempts to board or leave moving cars.

Meanwhile the king was speaking
affably: "As you did not favor us
with your presence among the Wise
Men, my lord, It 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 so 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.

The sternness that had underlain
the kings manner rose slowly and
spread over the whole surface Of his
person. as he drew himself up in
towering offense.

forth as representatives Of a mighty

Keeping Voters from Polls.

Some years ago an Englishman,
when travelling in Spain, fell in with a
member of the national parliament
who opposed the government. There
had been n dissolution OF parliament
and the Englisnman asked the Span
lard II he would be reelected "Oh.
no." he said, there is not chance Of
it." Presently they arrived at the
principal town of this gentlemans 5
constituency and he received a regu-
lar ovation on his way to the hotel.
Surely" saiG the Englishman, "you
are mistaken; you seem extremely
popular here" "Oh, yes," was the
reply. II am very popular. but won't
get in, nevertheless" How will the
government prevent your getting in?"
was the rejoinder. "Oh, they have
all kinds of methods. will tell you
one. They will fix a polling place in
such and such barn. A large and
very fierce mastiff is kept there and
when any one likely to vote for me
makes his appearance they will let the
beast loose"

and yeoman-soldiers, singly and in
groups, filtered quietly through the
shadows and placed themselves at
their chiefs back.
But though the kings brows had
met for an instant in a lowering arch,
some second thought controlled him.
When he spoke, his words were even
gracious: II think the Lord of Ivars.
dale has the right of it. The crime
the boy purposed was not carried out;
and in each case, Lord Sebert was his
captor. am content to trust to his
wardership."
Sebert's frank face betrayed his
surprise at the complaisance, but he
gave his pledge and his thanks with
what courtliness he could muster, and
releasing his passive prisoner, pushed
her gently into the safekeeping Of
the old cniht. Yet he was not SO
obtuse as to step back, as though the
incident were closed: he read the
kings infection more correctly than
that. Holding himself somewhat stiff
in the tenseness of his feelings, he
stood his ground in silent alertness.
A rustic Of uneasiness crep. the
round Of the assembled mobiles. Only
the monarch's bland composure re-
mained unruffled. Advancing with the
deliberate grace that 80 well became
his mighty person, he seated himself
upon a convenient boulder and signed
the figure in the shadow to draw
nearer.
AS 1t obeyed, every one Of the yeo-
men-soldiers strained his eyes in that
direction, as though hoping to surprise
in the great traitors face some secret
Of his power. the power that had made
three kings as wax between his fin
gers! But just short of the fire-glow
the Gamer paused. and the hooded
cloak which shrouded him merged
him hopelessly into the shadow. Only
the hand that rested on his sword-hilt
protruded into the light. 1t was a
broad hand, and thick-fngered as a
butchers. and it was milk-white and
weighted with massave rings.

He said more, but Randalin did not
listen to him. All at once Sebert of
Ivarsdale reached out, and taking her
by her cloak, drew her gently to his
side, interposing his sword arm be-
tween her and the others. Her head
dropped against his arm, and her
hands. ceasing their struggles, rested
in his grasp like folded wings.
1t had not taken moment; the in
slant Norman finished his explanation
the Etheling was speaking quietly:
"As the Lord Of Baddeby says, King
Edmund, it was who stayed the boys
hand. and 1t was also who fetched
him into camp. found him after the
battle, bleeding his life out in the
bushes, and brought him in my arms.
like kitten, and dropped him down
by my fire. Waking in the night and
missing him, traced him thither.
With your consent, I will attend to 1t
that he does no more mischief"
A momentary cordiality came into
the kings manner. my lord Of Ivars-
dale! am much beholden to you.
Had any chance wrought evil to the
Lord of Baddeby while under my
safeguard, my honor would have been
as deeply wounded as my feelings"
The words OF the Earl's thane fairly
grazed the heels of the kings words:
"The imp can do no otherwise than
harm, my sovereign. Should he bring
his tongue to Danish ears, he could
cause the utmost evil. entreat you
to deliver the boy up to my keeping"
II am no less able than the Lord
of Baddeby to restrain him." the Ethel
ing said with some warmth. III 1t be
your pleasure. King Edmund. will
keep him under my hand until the
end Of the war, and answer for his
silence with my life. The life Of my
captive is mine. and am the, last
man to permit It to be taken because
he sought just revenge. know too
we'll how It feels to hate fathers
murderer" He shot baleful glance
toward half-seen figure that all this
time had stood motionless In the
shadow behind the king.
There was sudden indrawing OF
many breaths, followed by fright
ened silence. The only sound that
disturbed 1t was a growing rustic in
the bush around them. which was cx.

Inventor Of Ice Cream.

1774 Is said to have been the first to
make that cool luxury known as ice
cream. Lord Bacon was possessed OF
the knowledge that there was a
process of congealation by means of
snow and salt; but to him this was a
scientific fact. and he little dreamed
OF the idea that in after years this
congealation would prove such q de-
lightful refreshment. Iced drinks and
water ices were known to the Paris
ian epicures fully century and half
before they were introduced into Eng.
land. These dainties. 1t is thought.

CHAPTER vII.-contInued.

Voices rose In angry questioning,
but Randalin was too fear-benumbed
to understand what they said. Nor
mans keen eyes were turned upon
her, and recognition was dawning in
their gaze.
'Fhe boy from Avalcomb! would
have sworn to 1t that had separated
his life from his body not elght-and-
forty hours ago." A CLEAN Of eager
ness came into his face, and he bent
over her. "You shall serve my pur-
pose by your obstinacy." he said un-
der his breath. you shall tell me
where your sister lies hidden. and it
may be that I will grant to you a
longer life"
Her stiff lips could not have spoken
an answer had her paralyzed brain
been able to frame one. She could
only gaze back at him in helpless
waiting. Through the hush a quiet
voice spoke.
You are eager in rising, my lords"
1t said.
From. the shelter, half cave, half
bower, which had been contrived
amid the bushes, a warrior Of mighty
frame had emerged and stood exam
lining the scene. The light that re-
vealed the protruding chin had no
need to pick out the jeweled diadem
to mark him as Edmund Ironsides.
He repeated his inquiry, What is
the amusement, my thames? From
the clamor which awakened me,
had some notion Of an attack"
Norman Of Baddeby bent in a rever-
ence. "Your expectations are to this
degree fulfilled. my royal lord" he
made answer. Behold the enemy!"
Stopping. he raised the red-cloaked
figure by its collar and held 1t up in
the freight. As a murmur of laugh
ter went around he lowered 1t again
and spoke more gravely. "A hand
