a glimpse of Godiva. But no Godiva
did her eyes behold.
The king and the chamberlain
Joined her, both amazed and. for the
moment, speechless at the vanishment
of the lovely peasant girl
Where is Godiva?" the queen asked.
"Ay, where is Codiva?" the king
echoed. He called through door that
led to the corridor of the guards. En-
ter, varlets!" he said. And when two
guards had entered, the king asked:
Hast seen the maiden Godiva pass
thy door, varlets? If so, thou shalt
! die here and now at the hands
of my executioner. l swear it,"
NAY. sire. the soldiers said. The
| door has been we'll guarded without
and we can swear. forsooth, that nei-
Their maiden nor angel nor devil could
escape from this place without our
knowledge"
"Then where is Godiva?" the queen
repeated, deeply puzzled.
They peered down into the dungeon
and saw that Paulo, the prisoner, was
alone. They saw not, however, that
Paulo at that moment hid within his
shirt white rose, hid it with fingers
most tender against heart throbbing
with love for that self-same white rose
"Ay it's a strange disappearance!
the king said. You. varlets, remain
here on guard, while others search
| the Oalaca From nOat m turret the
castle shall be searched, every nook
and Granny, till we drag forth the
| hidden Godiva."
| Thereupon the king mounted the
steps, and was followed by the queen
and Sancha the chamberlain And the
two soldiers remained on guard al
the iron grating.
And time passed. Hour after hour
slipped by and still the guards re
manned alone in the room with the
iron grating, till at last the guards
fell asleep and snored. And Paulo
below, heard the snoring and was well
pleased.
Nov" he told himself, "is my
chance to gain my freedom. I shall
escape now or die in the attempt"
And securing a foothold in the crev
ices Of the rock of which the walls
were formed and clingholds elsewhere
for his clutching fingers, Paulo the
huntsman began ascending the wall
lizardlike, toward the iron grating
| above.

"Where Is eodlva Z"


Meanwhile King Leofric r4sentered
the secret chamber and passed through
the secret panel in the wan and en-
tered his own apartment, where he
flung himself GU a carved chair and
pondered morosely over the way Of a
maid with a king.
And now into the apartment came
the Queen Dulcinea The stiletto she
concealed under her mantle. And the
fire of jealousy burned in her eyes.
Sire" she said. confronting the
king, who was startled as at an APP
partition, thou hast brought to this
castle, this night, a maid from the
forest. I would see her. For curiosity
consumes me. l would have sight Of
one whom thou couldst for a moment
believe could take my place"
In rage the king sprang up
who hath betrayed the king?" he
cried.
Just then the cringing form of San
cha, the chamberlain, appeared.
Thou. Sancha! Vast thou boz
trayed to the queen what has trans
pired this night?"
"Nay, sire" replied Sancha, trem-
bling with awful fear at the kings
wrath. Twas not /. Twas soma

saw the maiden entering to thy preS-
ence."

queen. 1T matters not whose was
the betraying tongue, 1t is sufficient
that l know, sire, of the maiden thou
hast concealed here. Thou art a
wicked man. sire, as thou well know
est. And this maiden I intend shall
escape thy clutches. For l. Dulcinea,
will help her to escape"
During this bold speech the queen
had been stealing closer and closer
to the secret spring beside the secret
painting. She now cautiously pressed
the spring and the secret panel swung
on its pivot. The king sprang TO in
tercept. but was too late. The queen
nassed through the panel and was
even now darting TO the door that
onened on the steps that led down to

The GROWTH OF
WESTERN CANADA
Increase in Railway Mileage,
School Attendance and
Population.

Some idea of the extent of railway
construction in Western Canada can
be derived from the fact that the rail-
way mileage in the Province Of AL
berta has been doubled in three years.
The present mileage is 4,097. In all
of the settled districts there is ample
railway privileges. The rates are gov
erned by Dominion Railway Commits
sion, and in the exercise of their pow.
ers they not only control the rates.
giving fair equality to both railway
and shipper, but form court to hear
complaints OF any who may desire to
lodge the same.
In the matter OF education no better
instance of the advancement that Is
taking place can be given than that
found in the Information to hand that
attendance at the University of Al
berta has increased 1000 per cent In
five years, and is now thoroughly rep
resentative of all settled portions OF
the Province. The students in attend
ance are from sixty-one distinct dis
tricts.

The White Rose.


But now, in the secret chamber, the
unexpected happened--unexpected, at
least. in Sancha's reckoning. For the
king. instead of firing of Godiva's re-
calcitrant ways and leavil g her till a
time more propitious for his purpose,
made still further desperate love. And
again the struggle was on. Forth and
back across the chamber they fought,
the girl fighting not to live, but to
die; for ever and anon she would
make q desperate lunge with intent to
seize the dagger which the king wore
in a short scabbard dangling from
his leathern belt. But ever and anon

tragic design, till finally his majesty
caught the dagger from its scabbard
and hurled it far beyond the maiden S
reach.
Then came a further unexpected
happening. The king, in rage, opened
the door that revealed the stone
steps leading down to the room that
was over the palace dungeon. And
through this door the king dragged
Godiya
Sancha concealed behind the cur
tains, perceived that now indeed all
opportunity TO assassinate the girl was
gone. He rushed from his place of
eoncealment and pressed the secret
spring that opened the panel in the
wall. Through this aperture Sancha
stepped into the kings apartment,
closing the painting behind him.
Then through the palace corridors
Sancha hurried till he came to the
door Of the queens own apartment.
This he entered very cautiously.
The queen was pacing the floor in
eager expectation.
The trophy" she demanded.
Where, again ask you. Sancha,-
Where is the bleeding hearth"
Alas {" replied Sancha, this night

church, the bar, the Senate, furnish
members nearly and dearly related to
the prisoner. They may differ from
him in politics, but they are here to
give him consolation on this day.
Should you send him to the scat
fold they must struggle on hereafter
with broken hearts through cheer
less existence, laboring in sorrow for
him they loved. A venerable lady,
whose life has been spent amid an af-
fectionate tenantry, who has lavished
her fortune and dispensed blessings
and charities around her, awaits with
trembling heart your verdict. If your
verdict consigns her beloved son to
the grave that heart will quickly beat
no more.
Six innocent children await to be
informed whether they are to be de
prived of the Inheritance which has
descended in their family for ages
and driven beggars and fatherless on
the world through the rigorous enact
ments Of cruel law-whether they
are to be restored to peace and Joy o,

gladly give to save the object Of her
youthful affections. You will not send
her, unless the command of conscience,
to an untimely grave. Yet even in this
case of blood I do not ask for pity In
wailing spirit; I ask it in the spirit
Of a free constitution, in accordance
with the rooted principles of our COM
mon law.
Those principles ought to shine out
in glorious perfection in this great
cause between the prisoner and the
Crown, and a verdict in accordance
with them is not a triumph over law
but triumph of the law. If, how
ever, you shall convict my client,
neither will nor will he censure that
conviction. trust he will meet his
fate with the faith Of Christian and
the firmness of man. The last &C.
cents Of his lips will breathe a prayer
for Ireland's happiness and Ireland's
constitutional freedom, and in that
moment of his mortal agony he will
be consoled If through his sufterings
and his sacrifices some system Of
government shall arise such as aver

Several columns are devoted to the
evidence for the Crown during the
following days.
Whiteside's Speech for the Defense.
Mr.. Whiteside asserted that suppos-
ing Mr.. O'Brien to have been con-
victed, and that an attempt had been
made to break into prison and rescue
him, the persons concerned in that
attempt would have been guilty of a
high offense, but not of high treason.
1t followed from that much more
strongly that an endeavor to escape or
resistance would not be high treason.
In Captain C.'s case (1st Ventr.),
where an assault was made by a party
of soldiers on the civil power by com
mand Of their officer, in order to res.
cue a comrade from arrest, Lord Hale
decided that the crime was not high
treason, because It wanted universal
ity Of design. If the jury believed that
all the acts Of Mr.. O'Brien were done
to escape arrest, and not in pursuance
of universal design, his acquittal
from the charge of high treason would
follow as matter of course. The
learned counsel then proceeded al
much length to comment upon and
controvert the various points sought
to be established in the evidence o1
the Crown, and thus concluded: "Gen
tlemen, have observed upon the evi
dence, and I simply submit to you II

conclusion, that however you may
condemn certain acts of Mr.. OBr1en,
however equivocal you may think
some observations made by him in
one letter are, yet, if you believe that
his offense falls short Of the tremen-
dous crime of treason, you are bound
by the solemn duty you have under
taken, irrespective of every conse-
quence, to acquit the prisoner. Well
know the weighty difficulties have
to encounter and how incompetent my
feeble powers have been to grapple
with and overcome them.
Prejudice Prevents Understanding.
Well do l know how calumny has
done its work with others, and how
it has been said that the impracticable
