in current history pale into in
significance beside the massive
potato or the unusual watermelon.
1t is the period of a return to
nature, seeking of the fruits of
the earth and a communion with
the sterling citizens who wrest their
living from the soil, and proudly
hold up the result of their efforts
for the edifcatiOn of town folk.
The tired business man next
week may wander at his own sweet
will through mazes of butter, groves
of cheese and forests of dairy pro-
ducts. He may amble placidly
through aisles filled with wonder
full pickles, astonishing jellies and
cOmmendable cookies, or he may
tand enraptured before bed quilts
of exhilaratlng pattern and let his
soul go out in admiration of domestic
art.
Or, seeking different diversion he
may set forth to the grandstand and
witness the performance of the
wonderful Japs. He may forget
his worries in the excitement of the
horseraces or he may find aesthetic
recreation in the study of the many
and varied displays at the art hall
should he yearn for diversion Of a
dramatic or spectacular nature, the
''hike along" with it's bankers and
its dancers, it's mummers and its
musicians, its trained ANIMALS and
its other alluring features, is close
at hand.
In fact there is no end to the en-
tertalnment that is spread be-
fore the visitor. 1t is suited to
all persons, from the bucolic stranger
who yearns for the seductive cracker
jack and the exciting merry go
round, to the blase city man who
refuses to be entertained by any
thing less hazardous than balloon.
In all seriousness, the fair next
week promises to eclipse any thing
that has been done heretofore in
this line. The Grant County Agri-
cultural society assisted by Ian
casters business men has labored
valiantly to make it a worthy ex-
position of the resources of the
county, and there is every reason
to believe that these efforts have
been successful
This being the case, liberal pat
ronage of the fair becomes the duty
of all good citizens. These EXPOSE
tons have their decided beneficial
effect upon the great business, in
dustr1al and agricultural interests
of the county, and it is up to the
people to encourage them by gener-
our attendance and careful study
of the things which are there to be
seen.

Il am fainting, comrade!" he cried. L must

Drink Your own blood Beaurnanoir," cried
Dubois, and the weary men all croaked together
in dreadful laughter.
But the English had learned from experience
and under the guidance of Croqt1art they fought
no longer straight line but in one so bent that
at last 1t became circle As the Bretons still
on every side until they had turned it into the most
dangerous formation of all, a solid block of men,
their faces turned outward their weapons brstling
forth TO meet every attack. Thus the English
stood, and no assault could move them Thev
could lean against each other back TO back while
they waited and allowed their foemen tire them
serves out Again and again the gallant Breto1ls
tired TO make way through Again and again thev
were beaten back by shower of blows.
BeaumanOir. his head giddy with fatigue opened
his helmet and gazed in despair at this terrible
unbreakable circle Only too clearly he could see
the inevitable result His men were wearing them
selves out Already MANY of them could scarce
stir hand or foot and might be dead for anv aid
Whlch they could give him in winning the fight
Soon all would be in the same plight Then these
cursed English would break their circle TO swarm
over his helpless men and strike them down Do
What he might, he could see way by which
such an end might be prevented. He cast his ewes
round IN his agony, and there was one of his Rret0r
sinking away to the side of the lists He could
scarce credit his senses when ne saw bv the scarlet
and silver that the deserter was his own weIltred
Squire William of Montaubon.

but the other 5 helmet closed and he cOt,1d

ing away as swiftly as he could. With a crv of bit
ter despair, he drew into a knot as MANY of his
braves as could still move and together they made
a last rush upon the English spears This time he
was hrnly resolved deep in his gallant soul that he
would come no foot back, but would find his death
there amongst his toemen carve a path into
the heart OF their ranks. The fire in his breas-
spread from man to of his followers and

Also II any be SO weak or wounded that he
must sink his hands his comrades on right and left
can bear him up. Now advance all together in
Gods name, for the battle is still ours if we bear
ourselves like men"
In solid line the English advanced while the
Bretons ran forward as before to them. The
Poulart who bore a helmet which was fashioned
as a cocks head with high comb above and long
pointed beak IN front pierced with the breathing
holes. He thrust with his sword at Caverlev: but
Belford who the next in the line raised his
giant club and struck him a crushing blow from the
side. He staggered, and then pushing forth from
the crowd, he round and round in circles as one
whose BRAN IS stricken, the blood dripping from the
holes OF his brazen beak. So for a long time he
ran the crowd laughing and cock-crowing at the
sight, until last he stumbled and fell stone dead
upon his face. But the fighters had seen nothing
OF his tate, tor desperate and unceaSing was the
rush OF the Bretons and the steady advance of the
English line
For a time 1t seemed as if nothing would break it
but gap-toOthed BeaumanOir was a general as we'll
as warrior Whilst his weary bleeding, hard
breathing men still flung themselves upon the front
OF the line he himself, with Raguenal Tintiniac
Nam de karanais, and Dubois, rushed round the
Hank and attacked the English with fury from
behind. There was a long and desperate melee.
until once more the heralds seeing the com
patants stand gasplng and unable to strike a
blow, rode in and called yet another interval of
truce.
But in those few minutes whilst they had been
assaulted upon both sides the losses of the English
party had been heavy. The Anglo Breton d Ar
dame had fallen before Beaunanor's sword; but
not before he had cut deeply into his enemvs shout
der Sir Thomas Walton, Richard of Ireland one
OF the oqlres. and Hulbtee the big peasant had all
fallen before the mace of the dwarf Raguenal or the
swords of his companions. Some twenty men were
sun lett standing upon either side; but all were in
the last state of exhaustion, gasping reeling hardly
capable of striking blow

its stimulative effect was exhausted
and he sat thinking duly OF what was
almost certain to happen In very
brief space of time The timepiece
on the mantel sounded It's fairy call at
each halfhour, but he still sat on
brooding. 1t was past 10 o'clock when
he went back to the room In which
Billery lay asleep, and there attired
himself for out of doors. When he
had completed his preparations he
switched out the light and was max
ing for the door when something
tripped him at the feet and brought
him to his knees. He groped in the
darkness for moment, and then, re-
covering himself, went out, softly
closing the chamber door behind him
He was feeling very miserable and
upset, and when he reached his club
he did what was for him a very un-
usual thing. He called for bottle OF
champagne In the dining room, and
emptied 1t there In solitude. The
diners had all gone away to their sew
eral pursuits. The theater-goers had
not yet returned, and the place was
very solitary, eerie, and forlorn. There
was party In the card room, but he
declined the place offered him. and
having lighted cigar, allowed it to
go out again, and sat SO sleepy and
stupid that some of the players rallied

Il am not WELL" he said, in answer
to one Of them. II have beastly

kit here fortnight ago."
ooh, Billery!" said one OF the play
ers, shuffiing at the pack. "Billery
has been hopeless case for years"
Alexis put his idea into execution
and had room prepared for him. He
mounted to It, and ordered more wine
there, and still sat brooding, with two
people mainly in mind. The unwel
come guest now lying at his chambers
was one of these, and his cousin Alloy
sius was another. There was horror
upon him which he could not shake
away, sense of something terrible
impending which clogged his heart
and weighed upon his lungs and al.
flicted him like nightmare.

We then went to another doctor, but
he could not help him. and ir our
despair We went to q third one. Mat
ters became SO bad that he had regu-
lar holes in his cheeks large enough
to put Q finger into. The food had to
be given with spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts a. thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chests and back, in short, the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid In his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make
an open sore. think his face must
have itched most fearfMly.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help, and had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he. was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
emily, and we soon saw miracle. A
friend Of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared 1t also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely we'll,

CHAPTER VII.

At the hour of midnight the sleek
and respectable Gervase, who was
Alexis Brangwyn's body-servant, and
out on leave, was chalking his cue for
a final hundred up at billiards with
the marker at the Crown and Cushion
when friend of his, who valeted a
gentleman on the floor Immediately
above Brangwyn's rooms, came in in
some disorder, and, catching sight of
him after swift glance about the
roompadvanced hurriedly and plucked
him by the sleeve.
"Come home at once" he whispered.
There may be something very seri-
GUS the matter"
What is it," asked Gervase.
Don't waste a minute" returned
the other. II can tell you all about it
as we CO."
Upon this, moved by something
very serious in his friends face, Ger
