The Hall of the Guard.
Loud rang the laughter In the hall
OF the men-at-arms at Castle Kerns-
berg. There had come an embassy
from the hereditary Princess OF Plass-
enburg, recently established upon the
throne of her ancestors, TO the Ouch
ess Joan Of Hohenstein. ruler Of that
cluster of hill statelets which is called
collectively Masurenland. and which
includes, besides Hohenstein, the
original Eagles Eyrie, Kernswald
also, and Marienfeld
Above. in the hall of audience, the
ambassador, one Leopold Won Des-
sauer, a great lord and most learned
councillor of state. sat alone with the
young duchess. They were eating of
the baked meats and drinking the
good Rhenish up there. But, after all.
it was much merrier down below with
Werner Won Orseln, Alt Picker. Peter
Balta, and John of Thorn, though
what they ate was mostly but plain
ox-flesh, and their drink the strong
ale native to the hill lands, which is
called Wendish mead.
Get you down, Captains Jorian and

manded, looking very handsome and

Good" had responded the two sol

turning them about as If they had
been hinged on the same stick, and
starting forward with precisely the
shame stiff hitch from the halt. they
made for the door.
But stay" Joan of Hohenstein had
said, ere they reached it, here are a
couple of rings. My father left me
one or two such Fit them upon your
fingers and when you return give
them to the maidens of your choice"

PRISONER TURNS ON DEPUTY
 sHERIFr FOLEY.
(From Thursdays paily.)

The peace and dignity of the town of Ash Fork was again disturbed yesterday morning when man giving the name of F. Kennedy appeared nt the santa Fc Pacific depot in an in' toxicatcd condition, and ovcr-anNious to exhibit his Gstic prowcss on n number of persons at all times unwilling to engage in such disputes while attending Co their usual avocatious. Officer Whitley rcmoustrntcd with Kennedy, without result, finally being compelled to place him under arrest, afterwards passing him into the custody of deputy sheriff John Foley While cscorting the prisoner to his place of business for safckccping, Kennedy suddenly turned on the deputy sheriff making vicious attempt to strike him in the face with his clcnchcd hand. The ac' tive Foley doded the blow, at the same time landing hard on kcnncdy's warlikc countenance, and fclling him to the ground secured hold on the prisoners throat, completely obstruct' ing the power of respiration until re. licved by officer Whitley. who rushed to the scene, and placed pair of bracelets safely locked around the wrists of the rccalcitrant, after which both officers escorted the pugnacious Kennedy to a friendly refrigerator car on neighboring side track, in which he was cnbincd and confined in the cooling atmosphere for few hours before being arraigned before the justice of the peace, who sentenced him to sixty days in the county jail short time before the southbound Diamond Jo was duo to leave for this city.
 A short time after boarding the train with the prisoner, Kennedy asked per. mission to be allowed to enter the toilet. which permission was promptly granted by Foley. The officer suspecting that his charge might endeavor to escape through the window, kept n close watch and on hearing q noisc on tho inside opened the door only to discover Ken. ncdy almost out through the opening and making q desperate effort to jump from the rapidly moving train. Foley promptly yanked his charge, who had lost his hat in the act, back to safety, and held on until the train arrived here, where he was given into the custody of the sherif's office and placed behind the bars.
