CHAPTER TX.
The snarhawk in the Tolls.

It was the end of May, and the full
bursting glory of a northern spring.
when at last the bridal cavalcade
wound down from the towers OF the
Castle of Kernsberg.
AS they rode toward the gate OF
Courtland they were aware OF splen-
did cavalcade which came out to re-
ceive them in the name of the prince,
and to conduct them with honor to the
palace prepared for them.
In the center of a brilliant company
rode the Princess Margaret. At sight
of the duchess party the princess
alighted from her steed with the help
Of a cavalier. At the same moment
loan of the Sword Hand leaped down
of her own accord and came forward
to meet her new sister.
The face of the princess showed
trace of emotion. She appeared to be
struggling with some recollection she
was unable to locate with precision.

nv brother" she faltered; then attel
a moment she added, Have you no
perchance a brother of your own?
But before Joan could reply, a repre-
sentative of the prince had come Tor
ward to conduct the bride-elect to ne
rooms, and the princess gave plac'
to him.
But all the same she kept her eye
keenly about her, and presently the
rested with a sudden brightness upol
the young Dane, Maurice Won Lyman
at the head of his troop Of horses.
"He is different-he is changed,
she said to herself; "but how--wai
till we get to the palace, and sha
soon find out"
And Immediately she caused 1t to b
intimated that all the captains {
troops and the superior officers OF tn
escort of the Duchess Joan were to b
entertained at the palace of the Pril

So at that moment when Joan wa

Northern Settlers Hospitality.


"The north country settlers are
nothing if not hospitable," said A. S.
Power of Ely. 1T is proverbial that
the traveller is always welcome at
homes in sparsely settled regions in
nearly all parts of the world, and the
rule holds good through northern Min
nesota.
I'm traversing the vast stretches OF
forest that still remain in the country
to the north of Ely you only occasion
ally come across a settlers cabin, but
when such a place is reached, you
may be sure that you will be welcom-
ed to stop for the night or longer.
IF there is no one at home, which
is often the case, you will in almost
every instance, find that the door is
unlocked, and perhaps there will be
a notice written on the door inviting
you to make the most of the convent
ences about the house while you re
main in that vicinity. 1t is seldom
if ever, that such privileges are abus
! ed. To the man making his way along
the rivers and lakes in canoe the
opportunity to stop over night in
house, such as it is, with stove tC
cook on, is usually eagerly seized

minister tomorrow. He has been III
all day with his old trouble, and can.
not wait in person upon his betrothed.
He must abide in solitude for this day
at least. Your highness is apparently
more fortunate!"
The purpose of the insult was plain;
but the Princess Margaret restrained
herself, not, however, hating the in
sulter less.
81 pray you, Prince Ivan," she said,
"return to my brother and tell him
that his commands are ever an honor,
and shall be obeyed to the letter"
She bowed in dignified dismissal.
Prince Wasp swept his plumed hat
along the floor with the depth of his
retiring salutation, and in the same
moment he flashed out his sting.
81 leave your highness with less re-
gret as l perceive that solitude has its
compensations!" he said.
The pair was left alone, but all
things seemed altered now. Margaret
of Courtland was silent and distrait.
Won Iynar had frown upon his brow,
and his eyes were very dark and
angry.
Next time l must kill the fellow!"
he muttered. He took the hand of the
princess and respectfully kissed 1t.

Maurice recognized the man who

CHAPTER vIII.-Continued,

SF1FNT En- WIZ -NonAinuCQs
At the little chalet among the hills
where the Duchess Joan had so sud
denly disappeared they found two of
her tire-maidens and her aged nurse
impatiently awaiting their mistress.
To them entered that composite and
puzzling youth the ex-architect and
secretary of the embassy of Pl~~sen-
burg, Johann, Count vol Loen. And,
wonder of wonders, in an hour Joan
Of the Sword Hand was riding eagerly
towards her capital city with her due
retinue, as if she had been only taking
little summer breathing space at a
country seat.
1t was six months afterwards that
the Sparhawk, who had been given the
command Of troop of good Hohen-
stein lancers, asked permission to go
on journey.

presence, he would argue with himself
the pros and cons of such a mating,
and to his calmer judgment it seemed
rank folly for him when women of his
own race and station we're as plentiful
as June roses, and to be had for the
picking. But in the meanwhile he de-
voted himself to Shalmai's especial in
struction.
It was at this time that an unusual
book. called In His Steps," was ex-
citing a national interest, and the
reading lessons at the mission were
assigned from it. 1t was story of
how some people in a western town
attempted to apply the principles Of
Christianity to their everyday life and
carry it into their business. The re-
suits depicted were in every instance
in somewhat the nature of a Golgotha;
and yet, scorning crucifixion, an emu
lative enthusiasm swept the mission
school, and, hoping by their united
example to charm the world to applied
Christianity, a society was formed OF
those who would pledge themselves for
a specific time to do just as Shalmai's
holy countryman would if He were in
their place.
With serious misgivings Shalmai
subscribed her Hebrew name to the
role of Christians She knew the peo
pie and she knew the tricks Of trade
but her conversion was too sincere
for periodic use only.
It was the month preceding tbs
holidays when the momentous com
pact was entered into, and it was alsC
the harvest season for one in Shal
