shining eyes. | love to hear you speak of him,
said he Il pray you to tell me once more of the
manner of his death"
He died as he had lived, very courtly gentle
man. 1t at the great sea-battle upon the
Norman coast, and your father in command
of the after-guard in the Kings own ship. Now
the French had taken great English ship the year
before when they came over and held the narrow
seas and burned the town of Southampton. This
ship was the Christopher and they placed it in the
front of their battle; but the English closed upon
it and sorned over its SIDE and slew all who were
upon it.
But your father and Sir Lorredan of Genoa,
who commanded the Christopher, fought upon the
high poop that all the fleet stopped to watch 1t,
and the King himself cried aloud at the sight for
Sir Lorredan was famous man-at-arm and bore
himself very stoutly that day, and many knight
envied your father that he should have CHANGED
upon excellent person But your father bore
him back and struck him such blow with
that he turned the helmet half round his head,
so that he could no longer see through the eye
holes and Sir Lorredan threw down his sword and
gave himself to But your father took him
by the helmet and twisted it until he had it straight
upon his head. Then when he could see once again,
he handed him his sword, and prayed him that he
would rest himself and then continue, for it
great profit and JOY to see any gentleman carry
himself well. So they sat together and rested
by the rail of the poop; but even as they
raised their hands again your father was
struck by stone from a mangonel and so
died"
And this Sir Lorredan, cried Nigel, he died
also as ! understand"
Il fear that he slain by the archers, for they
loved your father, and they do not these things
with eyes
1T was a pity said Nigel; ''for it is clear
that he was good knight and bore himself very
bravely."
Time was when l young, when commoners
dared not have laid their grimy hands upon such
man. Men of gentle blood and coat -armor made
war upon each other and the others, spearnen or
archers, could scramble amongst themselves. But
all are of level and only here and there one,
like yourself, fair son, who reminds me of the men
who gone"
Nigel leaned forward and took her hands in his

1t is true Nigel l have indeed watched over
you as the gardener watches his most precious
blossom, for in you alone all the hopes of our

take more care of their bodies, there have been
added plate of proof here and a cunning joint
there and all must be from Toledo Milan, that
a knight must have much metal in his purse ere
he puts any on his limbs.
Nigel looked up wistfuy at the old armor which
was slung the beams above him. THE ash

with facings of steel Sir Rodger FitzAlan handled
them and said that he had never seen better. But

The trials of William F. Williams
for numbering John White ana Edwin

no less than $4,000. This is the CON
srevatlve estimate of county Official
who handles The business of paying of
the Witnesses and jurors. Of this, Of

Williams was first indicted By the
grand jury. and the trial here cost
over $1,000. There were many wit

pense was considerable, nearly a
week being consumed ia the trial
Witnesses not only from the city but
from all portions of the county were
in attendance and Of course receive
five cents for each mile they travel
In addition to fees. There were also
special venires for jurors aggregating
$50, men. all of whom had 20 be paIa

more expensive. And Of the wit

Brent Dec 2.-The fall season has
been exceptionally favorable for the
farmers of West Florida, while a large
area Of the state is experiencing the
usual autumnal drouth.
The rains have been quite regular
but not excessive, and Jack Frost has
STAYED his bhghtiug hand until the
normal winter season.
After the average date for the frs
killing frost in December let the
truckers beware; for 81 would be

such crops as tomatoes, beans and
olra against damage by a freeze.

northern farmers to have assurance

have always fed and housed their
stock from October until April.
We call &c a cold wave here when
the north wind knocks the tempera-
ture down below 40 or 30 degrees.
Last Wednesday was too hot for

forecast the cold wave of Thursday
gave threat ening aspect but re.
