the men who had gone on the first
crusade never came back.
stephen was only a poor shepherd
boy who lived with his father and
mother in the little village of Cloyes,
on the river Loire. in France He
never went to school and he did not
know how to read or write. As soon as
he was old enough his father sent him
out to watch the sheep in their pasture
on the hills which surrounded the vii
lage. His flock was not large and he
had plenty of time to think. And what
he thought of most was the suffering
of the Christians fighting for their
lives in the far off Holy Land. 1t seemed
to him a dreadful thing that there
should be so many knights and Chris
tian men in the world and none to aid
the brave warriors who had gone to
rescue Palestine from the unbelievers.
Often it seemed to him that he could
see the unhappy Christians. loaded with
chains, toiling at the tasks set them by
their cruel masters or hear their cries
for help from the walls of besieged
cities surrounded by the foe. His dark
eyes filled with tears as he pictured to
himself their condition and he longed
for the time when he should be grown
up and able to WELD a sword and a
lance. He was only II years old.
He went with his father and mother
one day in the early spring to a neigh
boring city to see the great procession
of the black crosses, which took place
on st. Marks day. There he felt as
though his heart would burst when
he beheld the priests and the people
marching through the streets, dressed
In black and carrying crosses which
were shrouded in black, while they
chanted petitions asking for mercy for
the poor Christians who were in such
desperate case in the Holy Land. Stephen
could not sleep that night when he re-
turned home, so sad was he al what
he had seen. Nor could he eat mouth
full of breakfast the next morning.
Il never saw such a boyw said his
mother as she gave him the little
basket in which she had placed the
bread and cheese for his luncheon.
mo breakfast, indeed! Why don't you
leave off bothering your head about
these things that do not concern you?
Before you know it you will be sick
and then who will tend the sheep?"
I'm sorry, mother. but indeed I can
not help it," Stephen said. kissing her,
and he took his way to the pasture,
driving the sheep before him.
1t was nearly midday when 1t seemed
to him that a wonderful thing hap
pened. He was sitting on a gray rock

y NE OF the strangest stories that
as@a the 1ssa age. es'oS9 Of nSs's4s: Sss4 $ and
wonders is the story Of the
u year old boy who was commanded
10 raise an army Of children like him
self and 10 lead them against the enemy
in a far distant country. And the
strongest thing about the story is that
il is true which can not always be
said OF the stories that were believed
b. everybody zoo years ago, when
people were much more ready to be-
lieve what they heard than they are
today.
Of course, every one knows that the
Holy Land. where the scenes that are
described in the bible took place. lies at
the eastern end of the Mediterranean
sea 1t was called Judea or Palestine.
Although the Christian religion was
born there, the country itself has been
ruled by Christians only for very short
intervals at a time. At first it was
governed by the Romans, who sent
out their legions TO conquer it when
they conquered the rest Of the world.

the world in those days. When the

north overcame the Roman empire and

founded the religion of the Arabs and
the Turks. Mohammedan rulers then
took possession of the Holy Land and
established their rule there, as you
may have read in Arabian Nights
one Of the successors Of the old caliphs
the sultan Of Turkey, which is a Mo-
hammedan country, is now the ruler of

Although nobody thinks much about
1t now, in the middle ages people were
very indignant that the Holy Land
where the Savior had lived and died
should be in the power OF men who
did not believe as they believed. They
became so angry when they thought
Of it that they resolved to march
against the infidels and drive them out
of that land. So they gathered to-

The war was called q crusade. But the

armies LAey sailed away again. leav-

Hardly had the Christian armies gone

where they laid siege to them. AS it
was impossible for the Christians to
fight against so great a host, and as
they had no means of getting food in
the towns where they were obliged to
defend themselves. they were COM
PEELED, little by little, to surrender.
Sometimes the Mohammedans allowed
them to depart from the country and
return to their homes; sometimes they
made slaves of them and held them in
bondage to toll under the lash of their
masters for the rest of their lives.
But even the sufferings of the Chris
tian slaves were less than those of the
knights and soldiers who refused to
surrender in the towns that still re-
mained in their hands. Day and night
they were forced to fight against the
attacks of the enemy. They had scarcely
1000 enough TO keep lie IN their DOuleSi
and they never knew whether the next
hour would be their last.
Stories of their misery were brought
back to the Christians in Europe by the
soldiers who were allowed to return
home and by the prisoners who man
aged TO escape. These tales aroused
the greatest sorrow and indignation
throughout christendom, and they led
to a great deal of talk of raising new
armies to go to the relief of the un-
fortunates who had remained behind.
In all the churches on Sundays the
priests kept urging the people to start
upon new crusade. But there were
so many wars in those days that the
people were tired of fighting and the
Holy Land was so far away that, al
though they hated the heather and
grieved much over the sufferings and
sorrows of their captive comrades,
they were very slow in getting started.
It is not an easy thing to leave a COM
Portable home to march hundreds of
miles to fight brave and warlike enemy

Mermaids and Mermen.

The dugong, a species of whale
found abunduntly in the waters of
both the great oceans, but especial
" off the coast of Australia, in the
Pacific, is believed to have furnish
ed the slender basis upon which all
mermaid and mermen stories have
been founded. It's general length is
from eight to twenty feet. It has
a head much resembling that of the
human species and breathes BY
means Of lungs. 1t feeds upon sub
marine beds of seaweeds and when
wounded makes noise like a mad
bull. Long hair in the female spe-
cies and hair and beard in the male
add to the human resemblance of
the head and neck The flesh of
this species of whale is used for
food and is said to have the flavor
OF bacon, mutton or beef, accord
ing to the parts of the body from
which the meat is taken.
