eyes of his lady love, who had refused
to fly with him-and he gloated at the
sight OF the humbling of the first
lady of the land by a mere wench.

Sancha said, 'once palpitnted a brain

This last remark Sancha made pur-
poseIy to bring words of agony from
the lips of the frightened and awed
Godiva.
Godiva did now indeed leap into life.
She knelt at the feet of the apparent
courtier who was really the queen and
entreated the disguised one thus:
Noble thou lookest, sir. and there
fore noble thou must be in heart. Can
one SO noble refuse the prayer Of one
so humble? l beseech your gracious

been mentioned as resting now at the

plead for me and mine with his maj
esty for the life of the one love"
But the cruel queen merely turned
her back and left the cave. And San
cha followed her out.
And Hagar the witch caught Godiva
in her bony arms. For Godiva was
collapsing from sheer grief. sobbing
her heart out, grief added to grief. at
learning that one SO noble looking as
yonder courtier could indeed prove
TO be one so calloused OF heart as to
refuse to vouchsafe so much as one
word of encouragement or even OF
pity for the sorrow of a girl whose
only fault was that she loved the man
who had struck the king of Urania in
defense of her own honor.

bers. With one last mighty struggle
Paulo at last was compelled to yield
to the power of full dozen arms of
iron as they clamped and clasped
about him and lifted him over the open
grating.
And then-through space he fell feet
first-landing on the stone floor below.
Upward he looked to the grating,
cursing the jeering faces he saw look
ing down upon him. Cursing even the
king, who peered down for this last
glimpse of the one who had dared
stand in his path between majesty and
Godiva.
And then the kings men closed the
grating and locked it with a huge key.
And then the king and the kings men
went away and mounted to the bright
er rooms of the palace.
Paulo, in the dungeon, found that
light was vouchsafed to prisoners here.

the moment gave him some satisfac-

queen were oft of love, secretly hated

Two forms darkened the entrance

The two figures now came closer to
the witch and to Godiva. The figure
in the long cloak and muffied to the
eyes stared, nay, glared, at Godiva
till the girl backed away in fear Of
eyes so malevolent.
For the one who wore the long
cloak was none other than Queen Dull
cinea thus disguised as a courtier.

that Godiva was indeed beautiful

CHAPTER v.
The Magic Potion.

The Magic Potion.
The capture of Paulo in the forest
had been witnessed from a distance by
Hagar, the witch. For this cruelty of
the king to a young man to whom she
had freely given her friendship-how
Hagar hated him! She would help
these children-aye! she would at once
make preparation to supply them with
the wherewithal to circumvent the
ultimate purpose Of the king in cap
turing Paulo and commanding that he
be put to death.
For Hagar had not only witnessed
the taking of Paulo. She had also from
a distance witnessed the manifestation
Of the kings passion for Godiva. And
Hagar was wise in the ways of bad
men. She knew that the king had no
good intentions toward Godiva. So
Hagar resolved now to provide Godiva
with the means to nullify entirely the
kings plans for the ensnaring of the
dove.
Back to her cave Hagar hobbled and
there at once began preparing a brew
of great and magic power. With rose
leaves she filled the pot that hung over
the fire. To these she added sundry
herbs and then stirred the whole in
water that had passed through her
own mouth. She stirred and stirred
the concoction till finally she added
some secret concomitants known only
to witches. And with that the brew
simmered down and presently only a
powder was left in the cauldron.
This powder Hagar took from the
kettle and poured into small vial and
corked II with rose leaves. She was
ready now for the coming of Godiva.
And 10! Presently Godiva herself
appeared. entering the cave with the
dropping form and sorrowing face of
one In travail.

PRUNING for Woods.

In pruning for wood the following
rules are usually applicable: Weak
growing varieties may always be
pruned generously, strong-growing
kinds lightly; varieties which branch
freely need little pruning, those hav-
ing unbranching limbs should be
pruned more severely: rich, deep
soils favor growth; prune trees in
such soils lightly; in shallow, sandy
soils trees produce short roots, and
the wood should be closely cut.
