Through Tho thick night and the falling snow slowly they felt their way along. The io,.ney proved dangerous, for they cos,d scarcely see the shore.

At the first hreak cf dawn Rosamund looked up. orl thc"c 'oon''rg large in the mist. Inv .sl'ey. arc,.o:ed in the mouth of tho r..ye.. The band brought her alaor, an! ie I her tosva:d the cabin.

 Lady Rosalaunl. thus you find me once !.lo.e. H.lo doubtless you never thou@A: tc see aga.il.
 She looked. at him in the faint light. and hc. l,.noa went cold. It was the knight IoZci'e.
 "Nhere yo;l are t!lc"e am.' he said, with sneer upon his coarse. handsome face.
 "Ycu here:'' shc said. You, a Chris tan knight and ill the pay of Saladin!"
 "In the pay of any oHe who leads me to you, Rosamund" Then, seeing the emir Hass;n approach, he turned to give some orders to the sailors, and she passed on to the cabin and in her agony fell upon her knees.
 When Rosamund rose from them she felt that the ship was moving and de string to look her last on Essex land. went out again upon the poop. where Hassan and Sir Hugh placed them selves, one upon either side of her. Then it was that she saw the tower of St. Peters -on- the Wall and her cousins saw Wulf spur his horse into the sea and faintly heard his great cry of Fear not! We follow! We follow"
 Now the wind caught the sail and the ship went forward swiftly, so that soon she lost sight of them. In her grief and rage ROsamund turned upon Sir Hugh Lozelle and beat him with bitter words till he shrank before her Then. turning, she fled to the cabin and cast herself down and wept till she though that her heart would break.
 We'll might Rosamund weep. whose beloved sire was slain. who was torn from her home to find herself in the power of man she hated. Yet there was hope for her. Hassan, eastc''a trickster as he might be, was he: friend; and her uncle, Saladin, at least would never wish that she should be shamed.
 The ship swayed; she grew sick and faint. Hassan brought her food with his own hands. but she loathed it who OAiJ dCSllCu lO ulC. AC otAS AUi AN>A - night, the night turned to day again, and always Hassan brought her food and strove to comfort her. till at length she remembered no more.
 Then came q long, long sleep. and i'll the sleep dreams of her father and Go!- win and Wulf She awoke to feel the sun streaming warmly through the 0qh h0,n l,s, ,1 fVnp tjmn forward, floating on the calm Mediter- ranean sea. her strength began to come back again rapidly Three days later she was helped to the deck, where the first man she saw was Hassan, Who came forward to greet her with many eastern salutatons.
 "1 give thanks to Allah for your sake and my own," he said-"for yours that you still live whom I thought would die, and for myself that had you died your life would have been re Quired at my hands by Salah ed-din.'
 If so, he should have blamed Az rael, not you," answered Rosamund, smiling, then suddenly turned cold, for before her was Sir Hugh LoZelle, who olsO tudukeQ heaven ludL Sue udu AS covered. She listened to him coldly, and presently he went away, but soon was at her side again. Indeed. she could never be free of him. Always he sat near, talking in his false. hate full voice and devouring her with the greedy eyes which she could feel fixed upon her face With him often was his jackal, the false palmer Nicholas, but to this man she would never speak word.
 At last she could bear it no longer, and when her health had returned to her summoned Hassan to her cabin.
 "Tell me, prince," she said. "who rules upon this vessel?"
 Three people," he answered, DOW ing-"the knight Sir Hugh Lozelle' who, as a skilled navigator, is the cap' tain and rules the sailors; l, who rule the fighting men, and you, princess who rule us all."
