father could tell You They understood
him to say that lie WAS William Pendu-

name for many years. But nothing
could be learned about him. lie was
never traced back beyond Portland.
And ten years or more ago. when the
war department records were over
hauled and saved from chaos and de
cay, the local G.. A. r. investigated this
case and came TO the conclusion that
no such man AS William Pendulum
was ever in the army SO the name
was erased from the stone. There's no
doubt, however, that this man was
soldier, with the rank of second lieu
tenant His uniform gave no clcw to
his regiment, however. There was 10
number on il; it had seen too much
service, ana he had not scrap of pa

sworn to do this thing. At all hazards

added in a deeper tone), | am your

it If you will. He has faithfully
served your house for five-and-thirty
years. 'Tis perhaps time he rested
now"
And with these words Werner Won
Orseln took his sword by the point
and offered the hilt to his mistress.
Joan of the Sword Hand shook with
mingled passion and helplessness, and
her eyes were dark and troubled,
Put up your blade" she said, strik-
ing the hilt with her hand "if you
have not deserved death, no more
have | deserved this! But you said
that the design was not yours. Who,
then, has dared to plot against the
liberty of Joan of Hohenstein?'

Werner looked up hopefully. He
thought he had pleaded his cause well.

"My lady" said Werner, gently and
respectfully, your servant Won Lynar

faithfully and Loyalty take your place
now as he did on former OCCASION"
"Ah," said Joan, smiling wanly with
a quick change of mood, Il hope he
will be more ready to give up his
privileges on this occasion than on
that"
She was thinking of the Princess
Margaret and the heritage of trouble
upon which, as the Count Won Loen,
she had caused the Sparhawk to enter
Then new thought seemed to
strike her.

She paused and looked around the
little goatherd's hut.

There was deep silence as the
men drew their belts tighter and pre-
pared to mount and depart.

CHAPTER XIII.
Joan Stands Within Ter Danger.


So soon as Werner Won Orseln re-
turned to Castle Kernsberg with news
of the forcing of the ALA and the
overwhelming numbers of the MuscO-
vite hordes, the sad-eyed Duchess of
Hohenstein became once more Joan
of the Sword Hand
The Invading army must have num-
bered iirty thousand, at least. There
were, all told, about two thousand In
Kernsberg. Won Orseln, indeed, could
easily have raised more. Nay, they
would have come in of themselves by
hundreds to fight for their Duchess,
but the little town could not feed
more.
When Werner Won Orseln and Peter
Balta met the invader at the fords OF
the Ala, Maurice Won Lynar and All
Picker had remained with Joan, nomi-
nally to assist her dispositions, but
really to form a check upon the i'm
petuosity of her temper
Now Won Orseln was back again.
The fords of the ALA were forced, and
the fighting strength of Kernsberg
united itself in the Eagles Nest to
make its final stand.
Aloft on the highest ramparts there
was a terrace walk which the Spar
hawk much affected, specially when he
was on guard at night. 1t looked tow
|
glimpse of the Courtlanders would be
obtained.
Presently the chief captains step
was heard on the stone turnpike.
'Ha, Sparhawk," he cried, this is
cold cheer, Why could we not have
talked comfortably in hall, with a
beaker of mead at ones elbow?'
81 wanted to speak with you on
matter we cannot mention elsewhere,
said Maurice Won Lynar.
Glow long can we hold out if they
besiege us?''
1.-TWO months, certainly-with luck,
three"
And what of the Duchess joan
persisted the young man.
"Why, in the same time she will be
dead or we'd" said Won Orseln, with
an affectation of carelessness easily
seen through,
1--WE must get her away to place
of safety" said the young man. Won
Orseln laughed.
"Get her? Who would persuade OF
compel our lady? Whittier would she
go? Would she be safer there than
here? Would the Courtlander not find
out in twenty-four hours that there
was no Joan of the Sword Hand In
Kernsberg, and follow her trail?''
1--WE must persuade her-capture
her, compel her, if necessary. Kerns
berg cannot for long hold out against
both the Muscovite and the Court
lander"
What? Capture Joan of the SWORD
Hand and carry her off? The meaC

dotty with anxiety and too much hare

taunts, 81 have thought deeply. SEE

There, with a few trusty fellows to
guard her, she will be safe till the
push of the times is over"
"But how" said Won Orseln, medi-
tating. twill you prevent her absence
being known? The passage of so
large a party may easily be traced and
remembered. Though our folk are
true enough and loyal enough, sooner
or later what is known in the Castle
is known in the town, and what Is
known in the town becomes known to
the enemy"

Remarkable British Tribute to the

Remarkable British Tribute to the
Ability OF Nelson.
The time has come when we can spe-
cially do honor to Nelson's memory
without wounding the feelings of other
nations. The first thing to be noted
concerning him is that he Is the only
man who has ever lived who by uni
versal consent is without a peer. In
every walk of life except that which
Nelson chose as his own you will find
several competitors for the first place,
each one of whom will have many sup
nibal, Caesar, Marlborough Frederick
the Great and Napoleon have been sew
orally put forward for the palm of gen
eralship. To those who would acclaim
Rfchelieu as the first of statesmen 9TH
ers would oppose Chatham or William
Pitt or Cavour or Bismarck or Marquis
Ito. Who was the first of sculptors?
Who the first Of painters? Who the
first Of poets? In every case there is
great difference of opinion. Ask, how
ever, who was the first of admirals,
and the unanimous reply will still be,

years Of high command In war It is

that his pre-eminence Is acknowledged.

ODDITIES OF AUTHORS.
Literary Lights Who Were COnspic-
uous by Their Attire.

Literary Lights Who Were COnspfc-
nous by Their Attire.
In telling of the various means of
self advertisement adopted by certain
authors a critic says that Alexandra
Dumas, the elder, delighted to appear
in the uniform of the national guard of
France, with medals pinned to his
breast, though it is doubtful whether
his motive was anything deeper than a
vain childish delight in gauds. HE
was the sort of man." one Of his enc
mics once remarked, "who was capable
Of riding behind his own carriage in
order to prove that he kept a negro in
his service"
A certain literary person once ap-
peared in the stalls of a London thea
ter wearing a jeweled brooch in. his
long hair, but he was anticipated In
this respect by Theophlle Gautier,
whose many colored waistcoat was al
ways the most conspicuous object in
any theater which he entered, and even
by Disraeli, with his rings outside his
gloves and his green trousers.
It Is said that M. Paul Bourget also
wore green trousers when he was a
