his greatest warriors. And
Favius the keeper of the treas
ury, counted out IS silver
talents and gave them to the
great governor Rilius saying:
Hire chariots for our journey
to the country of our enemies,
the Minots and Kenmares, but
strictly charge the captain of
hosts Nordinus that he must
conquer the enemy, capture
their sheckels and ride home
in their chariots or march home
by way of hikus." So amid a
great concourse of people they
that do battle rode away in the
hired chariots of Jimus HiIlus,
which although many wheels
wobbled greatly, had been late
ly swept and regilded for the
journey, the eagle of victory
perched high on their banner
After a toilsome journey and
vexacious delays they arrived
in the enemies country and
quickly buckling on their
armor they plunged into the
hattie. The great form of
Healius was seen ever in the
front to observe that all battled
honorably. The battle ragged.
Ruellus was struck out with
wonder or a battle axe-or
something-and was carried
from the field, but was revived
with a medimnos of oyster
stew. Cliffordus rushed in to
fill the gap in the guard while
the high brow of brave Vikanus

feathers and left it for dead.
But after a careful cxamina-

seventeen pin feathers and
signs of life. Nordinus said if
they could get it to take as

banner again the 23rd of Janus.
At this there arose Il great
Yelle saying: Long live the
eagle of victory, but let Alex
ander tell ,us of the battle"
Then rose the great Alexander
and spake: Fellow country
men, our cohorts fought fast
and furious but did battle

cutty sarks aud sandals. The
enemy shot quick, fast and
sure, and are truly great war
riors, but we be more spry

of Janus to seek our maidens,

goat, but it ehall not be so.
Bring coucher and fans and
when l start the battle cry
with a mighty voice, shout,
and they shall be discounted
and we shall snite them hip
and thigh. And when the
enemy hath fed and we gather
up the spoils, behold we shall
find it maketh many baskets. "
And all the populace shouted:
