wild roses and the other Towering
plants concealed Angelica from his
sight and she kept still as any mouse
while the unknown cavalier sat down

love and also in hard luck. When he
began talking aloud to himself, of
course, Angelica strained her ear to
listen. Not many words had he said
when the concealed lady exclaimed:

man is Sacripant, the young King of
Circassia, who was so violently in love
with me when l dwelt in my father
court before l fed with peer Orlando.
For love of me he has left his realm
and throne and come to seek me here
In Europe" She was right. The King
of Circassia had arrived at the camp
of Charlemagne, just before the battle,
in search of Angelica. He had taken
part in the confit and had suffered in

The knight who had overthrown the
King Of Circassia was indeed no knight
at all, but a damsel most fair and most

go in armor and fight jousts and tour

of Roger of Risa. and had been seeking
him, when, after the great fight, she
came upon Angelica and the EastehA
King and overthrow the latter simply
through playfulness. Scarcely had the
King OF Circassia recovered himself when
a dwarf came riding by and asked If he

knight that overthrow you" cried the
dwarf, but Bradamant" And he spIfrad
on to find his mistress and bring her
word of Rogero. But Bradamant had
