him. I'VE must prevent their cross

Tending than the attacking party
now
We rode toward the bridge, a goodly
company, the morning sunlight fash
ing back from polished helmet and ar
NOR. At intervals a jest gave birth
to laughter or a deep oath was growl-
ed out from the hoarse throat of a
warrior who thought no more Of COM
ing battle than he did of taking his
dinner.
The enemy reached the bridge be-
fore us, and, although our archers
poured black flights of swift arrows
upon them, we could not prevent them
crossing. and they dashed upon us on
our side of the river.
"Sit tight and remember that you
wear armor,' was Organs last piece
of advice to me.
1t was an equal fight, bravely waged.
Many of my comrades 1 saw smitten
from their saddles, even as many a
fOeman fell, some to rise and stagger
to refuge or another horse, some to lie
motionless while the victors trampled
over them. Yet 1 still was safe, my
sword swinging heavily to right and
left, now stayed by a strong arm, now
crashing downward, a foeman falling
under its bite. Who fell beside me 1
did not know, but Walen and Organ
were close to me dealing out punish
ment to all within the sweep OF their
weapons. They were gallant fighters
both. 1 was glad to be in their COM
pany. My sword swung down again
upon an enemy, and cry of exulta-
ton burst from my lips as 1 felt his
armor split beneath the stroke and for
a moment saw the crimson stain the
steers brightness. The lust OF battle
was upon me.
"a sword" I cried as 1 flung mine
down and reached toward one held up
to me. Although my horse swerved at
that moment, 1 caught the new weap-
on, but not securely in my grip, and
even as 1 heard warning cry behind
me a new foe attacked me fiercely. /

however, proved TO be sufficient to ex-
tinguish the fire, which was confined
principally to bundles of cotton which
had been spread over the floors Of
every room and had been saturated
with kerosene. The damage was done
chiefly to the furnishings, the carpets,
some furniture and the woodwork in
the suite being scorched and burned
by the flames. That the attempt was
made with the intention to destroy the
Gleason apartment, If not the entire
fat building, is apparent from the
manner in which the cotton had been
distributed over the rooms. The mat
ter was reported to the police and an
effort is being made to apprehend the
guilty party. Shortly before the Glea-
son alarm was turned in the fire de-
partment was summoned to Nahant,
where the railroad office of the Milwau-
kee road was burning. The fire was
soon extinguished after the department
arrived. but the loss was heavy, the
building being badly damaged.

other good things said about pros
poets down there they pronounce it the

any they have seen, California not ex-
cepted and the grade of oil found is
equal to any ever discovered. Parties

FAMILIARITY.

The Gazette calls the public down
on being too familiar. 1t says the
average man does not like to be called
by his first name. That is where the
Gazette is wrong. The average man
does like to be called by his first
name. That is one reason why he
would like to go back to his boyhood
home. He hears nothing but his first
name. There is comradeship about
it, closeness, that is appreciated
when you meet man and he calls
you by your first name. Only the
srobs dislike this, only men who fancy
it is undignified, but it is the finest
thing in the world. A community
where one fellow knows another well
enough to call him by his first name
is always model and a contented
community.
