The public should remember that
there are a few labor unions conducted
on peaceful lines and in proportion as
they are worthy, they have won es-
TEEN, for we, as people, are strongly
in sympathy with any right act that
has for its purpose better conditions
for wage workers. But we do not for
get that we seek the good OF all and
not those alone who belong to some
organization, whereas even the law
abiding unions show undeniable evil
dences of tyranny and oppression when
they are stropg enough, while many
of the unions harbor and encourage
criminals in their efforts to force
yoke of slavery upon the American
people. AS public speaker lately
said: "The arrogance of the English
King that reused the fiery eloquence
of Otis, that inspired the immortal
declaration of Jefferson, that left War
rem dying on the slopes of Bunker
Hill. was not more outrageous than
would force upon the community.
These men burst into rebellion when

If they did not submit.
The public should also remember
that good, true American citizens can
be found in the unions and that they
deprecate the criminal acts OF their
fellow members, but they are often in
bad company.
Salt only hurts sore spots. So, the
honest, law-abiding union man is not
hurt when the criminals are de-
nounced. but when you hear union
man "holler' because the facts are
made public. he has branded himself
as either one of the lawbreakers or

from my heart" and, placing his hand
to his turban, he bowed before them
In admiration that was not feigned.
I'VE thank you, prince, for your
praise said Goodwin gravely, but
Wulf stepped forward, took his hand
and shook it.
THAT was an i'll trick. prince, that

said, land one that brought as good a
warrior as ever drew sword-our un-

Here Hassan bowed, and said softly:

that none sorrow more for the death of
the noble Lord darcy than I, your
servant, who, by the will of God,
brought it upon him. When we meet,
Sir Wulf. in war-and that, / think.

Meanwhile, we are friends, and in very
truth all that 1 have is yours. But now
/ come to tell you that the Princess
Rose of the World-Allah bless her
footsteDsi--is recovered from her
fatigues. and desires that you should
breakfast with her in an hours time.
Also the leech waits to tend your

bath and clothe you. Nay, leave your

.Still, think that we will take
them,'' said Goodwin, ''for faith is
poor defense against the daggers OF
the Assassins, who dwell not so far
away"
True" answered Hassan; ST had
forgotten" So thus they departed.
An hour later they were led to the
hall. where presently came Rosamund,
and with her Masouda and Hassan.
She was dressed in the rich robes of an
Eastern lady, but the gems with which
she had been adorned as the bride-elect

ingly at Wulf and Goodwin, land my
orders were to rescue the Princess and
no more. Well she has been rescued,
and some hundreds of heads have
paid the price of all that she has suf-
fered. Also that secret way of yours

So the bearers came and lifted up

horse-for now that all was over he

them in the litters, they carried them,

Goodwin drew from his tunic the
cross which Rosamund had left him
in the hall at Steeple. and saying: L
swear upon this holy symbol that
during our journey to Damascus I will
attempt no escape with or without my
cousin Rosamund." he kissed 1t.
And I swear the same upon my

upon the silver hilt of the great blade
which had been his forefather's.
"A security that / like better" said
Hassan with smile, "but in truth,
knights, your word is enough for me-"
Then he looked at Masouda and went
on, still smiling: Nay, it is useless;
for women who have dwelt yonder

must be content to watch you, since
my lord has hidden you to his city,
which, fair and brave as you are, to
be plain, would not have DONE"
Then he turned to speak to the
sectaries. and Goodwin. who was
noting all, saw Masouda's dark eyes
follow him and in them a very strange
light.

Wulf who was the handsomer and

Yet women can read each others

no man may see and perchance Ma

the dreadful duel at the gate and
watched her face when Wulf's death
seemed sure: she might have heard
words that broke in agony from her
lips in those moments of torment.
oh, without doubt 1t was so. and
Masouda had protected Rosamund
because she knew that her love was
for Wulf and not for him. The thought
was very bitter, and in its pain God

jealousy of the brave and handsome
knight who slept at his side, dream

1t would seem that it came to him

How could he deal with her? He
