DuC the latter, seeing the DANGER III his
front and confident in his own great
strength of wing and lightness of body,
proceeded to mount higher in the air,
flying in such small rings that to the spec
tators it almost seemed as if the bird
was going perpendicularly upward.
He takes the air!" cried the King.
But strong as he flies, he cannot outfy
Margot. Bishop, l lay you ten gold
pieces to one that the heron is mine.
Il cover your wager, SIRE" said the
Bishop. Il may not take gold so won,
and yet warrant that there is an altar
cloth somewhere in need of repairs. -
You have good store of altar cloths,
Bishop, if all the gold l have seen you
win at tables goes to the mending of
them," said the King "Ah! by the
rood, rascal, rascal! See how she flies
at check"
The quick eyes of the Bishop had per-
ceived drift of rocks when on their
evening flight to the rookery were passing
along the very line which divided the
hawk from the heron. A rock is a hard
temptation for a hawk to resist. In an
instant the inconstant bird had forgotten
was circling over the rocks, flying west
ward with them as she singled out the
plumpest for her stoop.
There is yet time, sire! Shall l cast
off her mattel" cried the fa1coner
"Or shall | show you, sire, how
peregrine may win where a gerfa1con
fails?" said the Bishop Ten golden
pieces to one upon my bird
Done with you, Bishopl" cried the
King, his brow dark with vexation. "By
the roodl if you were as learned in the
fathers as you are in hawks you would
win to the throne of Saint Peter! Cast
off your peregrine and make your Boosting
good
Smaller than the royal gerfa1con, the
Bishops bird was none the less swift
and beautiful creature. From her perch
upon his wrist she had watched with
fierce, keen eyes the birds in the heaven,
mantling herself from time to time in her
eagerness Now when the button was
undone and the leash uncast the peregrine
dashed off with whir of her sharp
pointed wings, whizZing round in a great
ascending circle which mounted swiftly
upward, growing ever smaller as she
approached that lofty point where, a
mere speck in the sky, the heron sought
escape from it's enemies. Still higher and
higher the two birds mounted, while the
horsemen, their faces upturned, strained
their eyes in their efforts to follow them
"She rings! She still 1ings!" cried the
Bishop. She is above him She has
gained her pitch
Nay, nay, she is far below" said the
King.
By my soul, my Lord Bishop is
right" cried the Prince. II believe she
is above. Seel See! She swoopsl"
She binds! She bindsl" cried dozen
voices as the two dots blended suddenly
into one.
There could be no doubt that they were
falling rapidly. Already they grew larger
to the eye. Presently the heron olsen
gagged himself and tapped heavily away,
the worse for that deadly embrace, while
the peregrine, shaking her plumage,
ringed once more SO as to get high above
the quarry and deal it a second and more
fatal blow. The Bishop smiled, for
nothing as If seemed could hinder b;c

my LORD BISHOP. GU are a prince
of the Church. 1t would fare i'll with
an earthly prince who could give no
better answers to the affairs which con-
cerned his realm"
There are other considerations which
might be urged, most gracious sire. 1t
is true that the Crusades were holy
enterprise which might well expect the
immediate blessing of God; but the
Crusaders-is it certain that they deserved
such a blessing? Have l not heard that
their camp was the most dissolute ever
seem"
Camps are camps all the world over,
and you cannot in a moment change a
bowman into a saint But the holy
Louis was crusader after your own heart.
Yet his men persisted at Mansurah and he
himself at Tunis.'
"Bethink you also that this world is
but the antechamber of the next" said
the pre1ate by suffering and tribu-
1ation the soul is cleansed, and the true
victor may be he who by the patient
endurance of misfortune merits the happi-
ness to come"
If that be the true meaning of the
Church's blessing, then l hope that it
will be long before it rests upon Our ban
ners in France" said the King. " But
methinks that when one is out with a
brave horse and good hound one might
find some other subject than Theology.
Back to the birds, Bishop, or Raoul the
fa1coner will come to interrupt thee in
thy cathedral"
Straightway the conversation came
hop To ha Of he
the mystery of the rivers, to the dark
eyed hawks and the yel1ow-eyed, to
hawks of the lure and hawks of the fist.
The Bishop was as STEPPED in the lore
of falconry as the King, and the others
smiled as the two wrangled hard over
disputed and technical questions: if an
eyas trained in the news can ever emulate
the passage h"wk taken wild, or how long
the young | wks should be placed at
hack, and how long weathered before
they are fully reclaimed.
Monarch and prelate were still deep
in this learned discussion, the Bishop
speaking with freedom and assurance
which he would never have dared to use
in affairs of Church and State, for in all
ages there is no such leveler as sport.
Suddenly, however, the Prince, whose
keen eyes had swept from time to time
over the great blue heaven, uttered
peculiar call and reined up his palfrey,
pointing at the same time into the air
"A heron!" he cried. "a heron on
passage!'
To gain the full sport of hawking a
heron must not be put up from its feeding
ground, where it is heavy with it's meal,
and has no time to get its pace on before
it is bounced upon by the more active
hawk, but it must be aloft, travelling from
point to point, probably from the fish
stream to the heronry. Thus to catch
the bird on passage was the prelude of all
good sport. The object to which the
Prince had pointed was but a black dot
in the southern sky, but his strained eyes
had not deceived him, and both Bishop
and King agreed that it was indeed
heron, which grew larger every instant
as it flew in their direction.
Whistle him off, sire! Whistle off
the gerfalcon!" cried the Bishop
Nay, nay, he is overfar. She would
fly at check

stances they graded the oil high and
when the time came to buy they re
graded the same oil in lower classif
cation. There were other injustices
that aroused intense Indignation
tion among the producers, but the
worst blow was yet to fall. As soon
as the Standard had completed its
conduits it could transport its oil
without shipping by raj This the
independent dealer could rot do. 1t
was then that the railways advance d
the rates from 10 cents to II cents per
100 pounds. In addition to this, the
railways arbitrarily ruled that gal
lon should be held to u instead OF
pounds. The effect was to raj the
cost OF shipping car of oil to Kansas
City and Other river markets from S45
to S9S. The further effect was to
prevent the producers from shipping
their oil and they were compelled to
accept Standard Oil prices at the
wells. The mCs1 remarkable fact in
this connection Is that the four rail
ways involved, the Santa Fe, tho Mis-
souri, Pacific, the Frisco and the
Missouri, Kansas 81 Texas, absolutely
went out Of the lucrative business OF
transporting oil and they did this
simply because the Standard had so
commanded.
Speaking to this correspondent, ].
M. Parker, secretary of the State Oil
Producers association. said; III the
railways would give us the original
rate Of 10 cents per 100 pounds, or s45
car, we could ship all Of our oil to
Kansas City and other points and it
would give us 81 per barrel at the
we'll. 1t would give the railways 100
carloads OF freight every day. But
the Standard OIL company tells the
railroads to desist from hauling any
ill whatever, and by an exorbitant
rate forcing us to sell to the Stand
ard, the only market In the fields, at
Il price Of Al cents a barrel. which,
under the compulsory rates demanded
from the railways by the trust, nets
the producer cents more than If he
had used the railways"
Mr. Gallagher adds: "While the
men who are attacking Standard Oil
realize the great pewer Of this corpo-
ration they express confidence that
Kansas will yet be able to gain the
mastery.
