CHAPTER XIII.
loan Stands Within Ter Dancer.

Joan Stands Within er Danger.
So soon as Werner Won Orseln re-
turned to Castle Kernsberg with news
of the forcing of the Ala and the
overwhelming numbers Of the Musco-
vite hordes, the sad-eyed Duchess Of
Hohenstein became once more Joan
of tho Sword Hand.
The Invading army must have num-
bered iirty thousand, at least. There
were, all told, about two thousand In
Kernsberg. Won Orseln, indeed, could
easily have raised more. Nay, they
would have come in of themselves by
hundreds to fight for their Duchess,
but the little town could not feed
more.
When Werner Won Orseln and Peter
Balta met the invader at the fords OF
the ALA, Maurice Won Lynar and Alt
Picker had remained with Joan, nomi-
nally to assist her dispositions, but
really to form a check upon the i'm
petuosity of her temper.
Now Won Orseln was back again.
The fords of the ALA were forced, and
the fighting strength of Kernsberg
united itself in the Eagles Nest to
make it's final stand.
Aloft on the highest ramparts there
was terrace walk which the Spar
hawk much affected, specially when he
was on guard at night. It looked tow
ards the east, and from it the first
glimpse of the Courtlanders would be
obtained
Presently the chief captains step
was heard on the stone turnpike.
"Ha, Sparhawk," he cried, this is
cold cheerl Why could We not have
talked comfortably in hall, with a
beaker of mead at ones elbow?"
81 wanted to speak with you on a
matter we cannot mention elsewhere"
said Maurice Won Lynar.
How long can we hold out if they
besiege us?"
1.-TWO months, certainly-with luck,
threei"
"And what of the Duchess Joan?"
persisted the young man.
''Why, in the same time she will be
dead or wed." said Won Orseln, with |
an affectation of carelessness easily |
seen through.
1--WE must get her away to a place 1
of safety" said the young man. Won
Orseln laughed.
Get her? Who would persuade or
compel our lady? Whittier would she
go? Would she be safer there than
here? Would the Courtlander not find
out in twenty-four hours that there
was no Joan of the Sword Hand in
Kernsberg. and follow her trail?"
1--WE must persuade her-capture
her. compel her, if necessary. Kerns-
berg cannot for long hold out against
both the Muscovite and the Court
lander"
What? Capture Joan of the Sword
Hand and carry her off? The mead
buzzes in the boys head. He grows
dotty with anxiety and too much hard
ale."
"Von Orseln," said the youth, with
simple earnestness, not needing his
taunts. 81 have thought deeply. l see
no way out of it but this. Our lady
will eagerly go on reconnaissance if
you represent it as necessary. You
must take ten good men and ride
north, far north, even to the edges OF
the Baltic, to a place know of, which
none but l and one other can find.

true enough and loyal enough. sooner

is known in the town, and what is

Strength In Old Socks.

Out Of q piece Of woolen y yarn, an-
raveled from . sock and twisted to-

er9l prison at Leavenworth, KAN,
constructed an instrument which he
used, recently, to saw through the
top and bottom Of 8 inch steel
bar. Mark A. Shipley, who re-
sides at 1886 Cook Avenue, ST.
Louis, returned from Leavenworth,
and gave the story to the ST. Louis
Globe Democrat, which says:
"A photograph Of the sawed,

was given to Mr.. Ship!ey BY the
warden. Shipley Was one Of the
men instrumental in sending the
man to prison. That q common

fined in one OF the isolation cells.
A guard standing on tier above
noticed hlm working bis hands back

They investigated and found that
the top had been sawed through.
The bottom was about half through.

compliehed the feat. The rayelings

serious changes in the machinery of
the State Government.
This has beer going on ever
since 1900, and the result is that it
is by no means easy to know what
the Constitution actually provides.
a singular evidence Of this is seen
when the last Legislature. in pro-
posing measure to exempt mort
osges from taxation, got so tangled
pp that the proposition in question,
il adopted, would lay taxes on
church parsonages and rectorics,
while relieving the money.lenders
Of the taxes on the mortgages held
by them. When the State law.
makers do not know the State Ton.
etitution, either they or it are get
ting 10 . bad way.
Of course there are conditions
which arise out OF the great growth
Of the State, Or Of Its cities, that
could not be provided for in nd.
vance, and they must be taken mp
when the emergency occurs. One OF
these IL the necessary expansion OF
the water, drainage aud sewerage
system Of this city. When q local
tax was voted by the people to
carry out a great sanitary work it
was supposed that the provision
made was sufficient for the required
improvements; but the grest and
sudden growth Of the population,
and the spread OF buildings and
other Improvements over previously
unoccupied areas. have made nec-
essary increased provision.
This provision ID set forth in Act
No. 10. which Is proposed as an
amendment to the Constitution. and
is intended to authorize the city OF
New Orleans to issue: new public
improvement bonds to the amount
OF eight<mlllion dollars, for the pur.
pose Of completing its water, sew
ersge and drainage system; to
provide for the payment Of princi-
pal and interest Of said bonds; to
provide foi the disposition Of the
surplus Of the taxes dedicated to
such payment, after the demands
thereon Of said bonds are satisfied !;
to provide for TIE issuance and Bale
Of SAID bonds, and their exemption
from taxation.
This does not propose sny in.
crease Of taxation upon the proper
ty-holders Of the city, as the bonds
will be secured by the tax already
assured BY them, but it is only ln-
tended to allow an increased issue
OF bonds on the ample security a.
ready provided.
This amendment should meet the
appreciation Of all the voters in
Louisiana who want to see their
great city thoroughly sanitated
and made the grand center OF COM
merece and Industry, to which its
unequaled location and tue pros
poets opening before it destine It.
