One Spark of Fire

A spark of fire glowed in Wilfred'
heart. He drew his sword, and, gra bbing
Bertram by the shoulder. cried out:
Should every fiend to whom you are
sold come to your aid will not let you
go. Ho, there, in the castle! Take sword
and spear! Here is the murderer of your
lord?'
Bertrann Risingham looked upon the
youth with a cold surprise. To wrench
the sword from Wilfred's hand was the
work of a moment.
Then he threw the young man to the
ground and another second would have
seen Bertram's sword dyed with Wilfred' $
blood.
But suddenly there appeared a form
the form of Phillip Mortham-and Ber-
trans weapon was knocked upward with
a sheathed sword, while deep voice said
Go and repent while there is yet time.
Add not crime to crime"
Bertram stared at the vision uncertain
and amazed. If this was Morthams ghost
he feared it-and still more he feared
IL it We're Morthams self.
He stepped backward still gazing at the
aprarition, and then hearing the tramp
of steeds coming that way he plunged
INTO the thick copse and disappeared.
Whispering, to Wilfred not to tell that
he was alive, Mortham also disappeared
in the woods.

Met by Mortham's Ghost

1t was toilsome road which they pur-
sued and the morning was we'll advanced
when they reached the rocky platform
upon which stood the castle of Mortham.
Bertram during the journey had scarcely
Nouchsafed a word to his companion.
All about the castle seemed deserted
and neglected, plainly showing the alb
sence of its lord About a bow shot from
the castle gates, where two great elms
entwined their bougs, there was a tomb.
Bertram paused by this tomb and stood
for while in meditation. Then, sud-
denly starting, he cried to Wilfred:
Did you see it? 1t vanished like a
ghost behind this tomb. 1t was Mortham' $
form 1t was Mortham just as I killed
him on Marston Moor
you killed him?' cried Wilfred-youT'
II had forgotten, STRIPPING. that you
knew nothing of your fathers plot But
1t is spoken and I will not take it back.
Yes, for thankless pride, I slew him
with this hand"

Prisoners of the O'Neil

Oswald thought himself secure in the
possession of Mortham's wealth and,
with his son married to the heiress Of

give his famous lecture on Milk" 1
nailed 1t with delight. I paid 81 for a

pectant looks
Billings came out on the stage. He
looked like he ought to know all about
cows and milk. He was awkward, his
clothes didn't fit well and he wore a pair
CT old-time spectacles set far down on
his nose. There was a table at the front
of the stage with chair behind It. Bill
tngs sat down and leaned IaziIy across
the table. peering over the top of his eye
goggles at the audience. There was a.
litter from some quarters which pro-
voked me a little. Billings began In a
regular Yankee drawl, something like
this:

When 'Rokeby' came out, all the great
reviews-and the reviews were real pow
ers I'm those days-hailed it as another
manifestation OF Scott's genius, and some
of them even preferred 1t to ''Marmion"
or "The Lady of the Lake'-probably a
majority of them TO THE Lady of the
Last Minstrel"
In length and in ambition of design 1t
eaualed those three immortal works. But.
somehow, it failed to catch the public as
the others had, even at first. and has
now 'drifted to leeward" In popularity.
While "Rokeby'' contains exquisite pas
sages, and Scott himself thought it equal.
If not superior, to 'Marmion,' Tile
Lay and THE Lady of the Lake there
is some indefinable lack in it which
barred it from the popularity which the
other three obtained at once and have
held to this day.
In Lay of the Last Minstrel Scott
threw the force on style in "Marmion"
on description; in "rhe Lady of the
Lake. on incident and in "Rokeby' in
character. At least that was his inten-
tion; but there is plenty of incident in
..Rokeby" and ''Marmion' and THE
Lady" are not wanting in delineation Of
character.
