succeeded in landing and was contfnu- | ing his journey by land. and that he had sent out men to search for Tell, swearing that he would destroy his | family and him.
 At this news Tell turned back on his path and made his way toward the mountain road through which Gesier and his men would have to pass. Ar irving at a mighty gorge. where wild crags and forests made impenetrable country on both sides. he lay down to wait.

You have taught me to use my weapon. innocent till now of human blood, against new and noble game. Now shall I make my master shot. in. deed. and free my mountains from your bloody handr'
 Soon the iron shoes of horses clam. ored against the rocks of the deep road. Tell, peering forth, saw the giint of bikes as they tossed through the wood. Just as Geslar and Rudolph der Harraa came into sight a woman with two children stepped into the road. She waited till the ridera were abreast of Tell.

 "The iand is freei" shouted ths crowd that had gathered.
 Rudolph dor Harras saw that some new and dangerous spirit had come over the people. Turning to fhe nlen- at-arms, he cried: There is rsballion in the air. ouickl oulckl to Kuss- nacht. to save the Emperor his fast naRales

He brought the news that the had been killed by his nephew. whom he had robbed of his birth- right and he presented q letter from the Empress. asking the Swiss cantons to apprehend the murderer should he enter their territory.
 Return" said StAuftacher. return and say to thy mistress: we will not now remember the evil that has been done us by the dead. We will not be jubilant for his end.
