"Since some about the princess are

the wine.
Next morning early I took occasion
to follow Bridget on to the roof. The
sentry was on the wall, standing by
raised battlement. which formed a
kind of sentry box. He was man

for my devotion to Mistress Bridget.

change places with me.

"And there's another you'd have TO

I nodded him a farewell, hoping he
would not be the sentry when the
time came FOR me TO go.
"Sharp eyes and wide ears, remem-
ber," said Organ as went to the
palace.
The day passed slowly. The kings
revels had been protracted to the early
hours of morning, and doubt not the
, generous wine had flowed freely.
It kSas late in the afternoon when
the king came. He passed through the
cha1Aber in which I was stationed,
leaning upon the arm Of a friend and
cracking some jokes with him as he
went. Soon afterward the knight who
caused me 50 much anxiety passed.
Either he did not see me or else he had
no message for me, for he went
| through the room looking neither to
right nor left.
It was dark when I went off actual
duty. The king not having retired,
was not at liberty to leave the pal
ace, so made my way to the guard
1 room. A kind Of cloister, open to the
square, ran along outside the guard
room, and, the night being warm, we
J gathered there, two or three together,
!, to drink our wine.
4 Suddenly the tramp of men sounded
In the square, and I saw Organ at
the head Of his company. I was seat
ed in such a position that he must
have seen me, but he took no notice.
It was an unusual thing for him to
be there at all. l heard a captain
of the guard ask him the reason.
"The kings orders,' he answered
shortly.
Then there was the flare Of torches
in the square, and the king came out,
followed by several knights. 1 only
noticed one particularly, the one who
walked beside him, the strange knight
twho had come to the city yesterday.
I saw the king whisper to him, and
the knights eyes wandered round the
square in search Of some one.
n With my comrades I had risen to
\ inv feet and stood waiting.
i The king did not look toward me, but
the knight did and our eyes met. Then
