CHAPTER XVII.
The Twilight of the Gods.

AS she had seen 1t from the gal
lery where the kings soldiers had
hidden her, Randalin saw again the
great stone hall, enshrining a feast
ing table around which a throng of
mobiles In their gorgeous dresses and
their Jewels and their diadems made
a glittering halo. At the farther end,
the king sat in his shining gilded
chair. Just below her was Edric of
Mercia with Norman Leofwinesson
beside him. The light from the taper
which a page was holding behind Nor
man of Baddeby fell upon the gemmed
collar that was his principal orna-
ment. The collar had been her faith
er's; she could not look at it without
seeing again his ruddy old face with
its grim mouth and faded kindly
ewes. Beside this vision rose another
the vision Of this beloved face dead

lips. From that moment, softness and

ione who would ride in upon the crest

MEN WITH GREAT MEMORIES.
Mississlppian Vouches for Two Very
Remarkable Cases.

er flatter myself" he remarked, II can
tell you couple of the most rcmarlp
able cases on record. The first was
that Of an old negro, born and reared
in slavery, unable either to read or
write. His task on the plantation al
dusk was to weigh the cotton baskets
of the two score or more negroes who
came home every night from tho
fields. He relied solely on his memo
ry, had no record OF any sort, and
made his report to the overseer every
Saturday evening. He could tell the
amount of cotton each one had picked
for the six days in the week, and was
never known to make an error.
"The other case is told in an inter.
esting article in the Publication OF
the Mississippi Historical Society.
