hand, "you have warmer greeting

Of malignant hatred passed over his

There was a ring in his voice and 9
flash in his eyes which promised that
the blow would follow quick at the

thames was too strong for the soft
whisperings of the doctrine Of meek

You do not know him; but I can tell

perchance, in joust or in tourney,

knight shall find venture such as

Then down the glade there came a
little green-clad page with laughing
eyes, and long curls floating behind
him. He sat perched on high bay
horse, and held on to the bride Of a
spirited black palfrey, the hides Of both
glistening from a long run.
II have sought you everywhere, dear
Lady Maude," said he, in a piping
voice, springing down from his horse
and holding the stirrup. "Troubadour
galloped as far as Holmhill ere could
catch him. thrust that you have had
no hurt or scath?'' He shot a
questioning glance at Alleyne as he
spoke.
"No, Bertrand" said she, thanks to
this courteous stranger. And now,
sir" she continued, springing into her
saddle, lit is not fit that should
leave you without a word more. You
have acted this day as becomes true
knight. King Arthur and all his
Table could not have done more. It
may be that, as some small return,
my father or his kin may have power
to advance your interest. He is not

friends. Tell me what is your purpose,

and they have gone to Christchurch,

"And where in Christchurch ?"
Eat the castle which is held by the
brave knight, Sir Nigel Loring, con-
stable to the Earl Of Salisbury"
To his surprise she burst out a
laughing, and squirting her palfrey,
page riding behind her. Not one word
did she say, but as she vanished amid
the trees she half turned in her saddle
and waved last greeting. Long time
he stood, half hoping that she might
again come back to him; but the thud
Of the hoofs had died away, and there
was no sound in all the woods but the
gentle rustic and dropping of the
leaves. At last he turned away and
made his way back to the highroad-
another person from the ight-hearted
boy who had left it short three
hours before.

VIII Manufacture Own Pennies.

viii Manufacture Own Pennies.
Uncle Sam will make his own pen
MES in future. The treasury has
taken over the business from private
concerns, which for many years manu-
featured these small coins for the
government, and intends for all time
to come to turn them out with its own
machinery.
The treasury has always stamped
it's own pennies with the design OF the
Indians head and the wreath on the
reverse enclosing the words Zone
cent?; but the coins, lacking only this
finishing touch, have been made for
many years in Waterbury, Conn.,,
whence they were shipped in the shape
Of "blanks' otherwise known as
"planchets'o in strong wooden boxes.
They used to cost the government, in
this form, only twenty-four cents a
pound, whereas to-day, owing to the
rise in the price of copper, they can
not be manufactured, even when
homemade, for less than twenty-nine
cents. A pound Of blanks represent
146 pennies.
If a cent a pound be added for the
expense of stamping them with dies,
it will be. obvious that Uncle Sam Is
able to manufacture 4S6 pennies for
a dollar-a very profitable enterprise,
inasmuch as he disposes Of that num-
Der for $4.S6.
During the last year the treasury
minted 8O,719,163 pennies, of which
New York State absorbed about 49,
100000, the demand from Illinois be-
ing next in point of size, while Massa-
chusetts was third and Pennsylvania
fourth. To make this number of cents
required 525,22S pounds of copper,
1856 pounds Of tin and 11,257 pounds
of zinc, the two latter metals entering
into the composition Of these coins to
the extent Of three per cent. and two.

black hair was gathered back under a
light pink Golf, her head poised proudly
upon her neck, and her step long and
slringy, like that of some wild tireless
woodland creature. Alleyne stood in
the shadow Of an oak staring at her
with parted lips, for this woman
seemed to him to be the most beauti-
full and graceful creature that mind
could conceive Of. Such had he imag-
ined the angels, but here there was
something human, which sent a tingle
and thrill through his nerves such as
no dream of radiant and stainless
spirit had ever yet been able to conjure
up.
The two walked swiftly across the
meadow to the narrow bridge, he in
front and she a pace or two behind.
There they paused, and stood for a
few minutes face to face, talking
earnestly. Alleyne had read and
heard of love and of lovers. Such were
these, doubtless-this golden-bearded
man and the fair damsel with the cold
proud face. Why else should they
wander together in the woods, or be 80
lost in talk by rustic streams? And
yet as he watched, uncertain whether
to advance from the cover or to choose
some other path to the house, he soon

square, blocking the entrance to the
bridge, and throwing out his hands as
he spoke in wild, eager fashion,
while the deep tones Of his stormy
voice rose at times into accents Of
menace and of anger. She stood fear
lessly in front of him, but twice she
threw swift questioning glance over
her shoulder, as Of one who Is in
search of aid. So moved was the
young clerk by these mute appeals,
that he came forth from the trees and
crossed the meadow, uncertain what to
do, and yet loath to hold back from
one who might need his aid. So intent
were they upon each other that neither
took note of his approach; until, when
he was close upon them, the man threw
his arm roughly round the damseps
waist and drew her toward him, she
straining her 1.-the supple figure away
and striking fiercely at him.. The
maid, however, had but little chance
against her assailant, who, laughing
loudly, caught her wrist In one hand
while he drew her towardAhim with the
