CHAPTER v.
The Magic Potion.


The capture OF Paulo in the forest
had been witnessed from 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
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
Hasar 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 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 1t 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

Paulo sat on the dungeon floor and
shut out the terrible sight of the skele-
tons Of his predecessors and sought to
gather his thoughts into some kind Of
semblance Of order. resolving that he
would as long as possible keep from
going stark mad
And meantime he would live on the
victims of his crushing heel; food
