Out through the door they fed,
leaving the kings retainers still fight
ing among themselves in the bed
chamber. But outside the cottage
lurked still another enemy in the form
of Sancha himself.
Ay, Sancha the chamberlain had all
this time been waiting in comfort and
safety outside the cottage, not caring
overmuch what the outcome of the
fray within might be. But now. too
suddenly for the chamberlain entire
composure. the situation was changed.
He saw the maiden Godiva flying
from the cottage door. A moment
more, unless he, Sancha. acted with
promptitude. the girl would escape
him altogether Here was indeed an
other dilemma for the chamberlain.
To fail to bring the girl to the palace
at all, neither dead nor alive, would
be to his own undoing.
He leaped upon Godiva. therefore,
and held her as in a wise. Then speed
lily he reviewed the situation II he
killed her here and now it would get
to the kings ears that Sancha him
self had slain the girl whom he had
been commanded to produce alive.
And then Sancha would die.
Whereas, If he took the girl to the
palace alive, his worst punishment
would be Punishment by the queen.
And surely twas better to suffer mere
Punishment than to leave this world
forever. In consequence, 1t was San
cha's decision to take the maiden to
the palace alive. And he would trust
to good fortune to keep from the ears
of the queen the details of what had
happened this night.
Mistress Godiva," said Sancha,
thou art wanted at the palace by the
king, who has commanded me to
fetch thee"
"The king" cried the girl, in ut
most dismay. Then would that the
dagger of yonder muIderers had
found my heart! For 'twould have
been better far to die than to go to
the king at his palace"
Meantime, Rivarre and his wife
dashed on toward Hagar's cave, sup
posing that Godiva cana in their
wake.
And now, before any of the fight
ing retainers could come from the
cottage, Sancha mounted his horse,
pulled the maiden up in his brawny
arms and rode away full speed for
the castle of the king of Urania

BURN CHOLERA CARCASSES
Burial Of Dead Animals Not Approved
by Nebraska Station-ExcelIent
Plan Is Described.

The burial Of hogs dying of cholera
ia not advised by the department CT
animal pathology at the Nebraska ex-
pertinent station. The germs of the
disease will last a long time in the
earth under favorable conditions and
are liable to cause a new outbreak
The safest way to dispose Of carcass
is to burn it.
Burning may be easily accomplished
in the following manner: Dig two
trenches a few inches deep intersect-
ing each other at right angles. At the
intersection Of these, cornstalks, cobs,
or other fuel may be laid. Over the
trenches may next be laid strips OF
metal to support the carcass. Before
being placed over the supports. the
abdominal and thoracic cavities should
be opened and be literally sprinkled
with kerosene. Then the hog should
be placed belly downward over tho
fuel. AS soon as the material in the
trenches is ignited. 1t will rapidly
spread TO the kerosene and fat and
the body will be quickly consumed
If a large iron wheel is handy 10
may be substituted with good results
for the trench and iron bars.

secret chamber of which our sover-
eign believes he alone possesses
knowledge"
Il have a plan. Sancha. The girl
is even now in the secret chamber
with the king. 1t is not too late, San
cha, to render me the service l have
asked of thee. Thou must to that
secret chamber and there find a way
70 STAY this maiden, even though thou
hast to lie concealed in the chamber
It'll the girl sleeps"
Thou dost forget, majesty. The
king also is in the secret chamber
with the girl. How, then, can Sancha
perform this service for thee in en-
tire secrecy"
IT'S simple enough, Sancha. thou
stupid! Know you not that the secret
chamber may be entered also by a
door that is at the top Of the stone
steps leading up from the room over
the donjon? Enter thou, therefore,
the room over the donjon. Steal thou
then up the stone steps TO the door
which thou wilt find at the top Of
the flight Open that door and thou
wilt find thyself within the secret
chamber Wait there till the king
enters with the maid Conceal thyself
and wait till the king departs from
the chamber. Then do thy work"
Sancha resolved that now was the
time to exact of his mistress the
promise he had long sought Above
all else in the world the queen de-
sired the death of the one who was
more beautiful than herself. There
fore now surely the queen would give
any promise as the price she would
pay to one who would encompass her
merciless wish.
"Dulcinea," Sancha said, before
do for thee this narrowing service
at risk of my life should the king
perchance enter the secret chamber
before ! have done-for this service,
say, thy promise of thy love shall
be my reward"
The queen, shrewd and well taught
in the ways Of men. understood the
yelled threat. She knew that Sancha
implied that unless she gave tho
promise of her love Sancha would
find a way to fail again to encompass
the girls death; and thus the one
who was more beautiful would stlll
live to be compared with her maj
esty.
THE promise Of my love thou hast,
Sancha.' the queen said shrewdly
foreseeing that she would refute the
promise and repudiate his advances,

She gave Sahcha. with significant
smile, a dagger. Now 60" she said.

CHAPTER VII.
The Secret Chamber.


Nervously King Leofric of Urania
paced his apartment, twitching at his
mustache and pulling his beard Why,
he pondered, did not the varlets come
with the beauty of the forest? From
time to time he gazed eagerly at the
door and listened expectantly. his
features distorted by the passion
which the very thought of the lovely
Godiva infiamed within him.
And then the door opened and San
cha entered leading the affrighted
captive. All in white she was ar
rayed. in the clinging folds Of the
drapery of her couch; for not a mo-
ment had been hers 10 supplement
with cloak or mantle the robe de mutt
in which the kings retainers had sur
prised her.
Welcome. Mistress Godiva," the
king said, bowling low. Welcome to
the palace Thou dost tremble, child.
Surely It's but the trembling of one
in strange surroundings and not be-
cause of fear of your sovereign"
"Ay, in that last hazard of thy evil
brain" the girl said, emboldened by
the mortal fear that possessed her.
thou speakest very truth. For, in
deed, am in great fear OF thee,
sire"
Calm yourself, maid" the king
said. Rest upon yonder couch and
fear no evil. AS for thee, Sancha-
you may leave us. would speak
alone with our guest"
Sancha bowed and backed from the
presence.
King Leofric now sat upon the
couch beside Godiva.
"Godlva," he said. thou hast in
spired in my heart a great love for
thee Riches thou shalt have and
fine raiment. Thou hast but to con-
sent graciously to abide within the
palace as my guest. Thou shalt be

"Ah. so thus blows the wind" said
his majesty. springing up and
scarcely now concealing his true and
vile self from his helpless captive.
Since so blows the wind, Godiva.
'then it will be necessary to immune
thee here till such time as thou shalt
become accustomed to the new life
/ destine for thee"
With that the king pressed a secret
spring beside a great painting that
was fitted in the wall. The painting
swung on q central pivot, revealing a
chamber beyond-the secret chamber.
"Godiva, be pleased to enter thy
chamber" the king commanded
The girl sprang up and sought to
dart from the apartment. But the
king intercepted her and by force
thrust her through the opened panel
and into the secret chamber He
then closed the panel behind him.
This is thy very own bedchamber.
Godiva," the king said "Yonder is
thy couch and here thou shalt tarry
as my guest. And shouldst thou con
tinue to be unwilling guest, then
count this chamber also thy prison"

over her beauty. sought to take her

with the cleaning weapon pushed
away her nightrobe and prepared to
plunge the dagger into her heart.
But what was this? More men
swarmed into the room-and next in
slant Godiva realized that she had
been snatched from out of the arms
Of the first group of men and hence
out of reach OF the cleaning dagger.
The newcomers handled her with ut
most gentleness, careful each not to
harm a hair of her head. For these
we're the kings retainers, who had
been told by Sancha that they must
bring the maiden to the palace alive.
What a terrible thing now did Go

among pigs kept in insanitary condi-
tons.
Inactivity of the bowels most often
gives trouble in pregnant sows and
other adult hogs when given too little
exercise and too much rich food. In
such animals the liver is torpid, the
system feverish and the muscles and
other organs overloaded with fat
Constipation seldom troubles where
hogs are fed laxative foods, such as
bran, flaxseed meal. roots or alfalfa

ton are made to take abundant out

In the common diseases of young
pigs known as ricketts,. there Is en-

excess of vegetable matter The ten
dency to the disease is hereditary and
most likely to be seen in closely in
bred hogs or those Of herds kept
under insanitary conditions and long

of corn to generation after generation
doubtless induces a weakness of con-
stitution conducive to ricketts, and the
disease may appear as a result of any
aggravating circumstance productive

company. If thou art not satisfied
with my favors as they are, then thou
hadst best myself begone from the
palace"
Now to be gone from the palace was
farthest from Sancha's aims. For his
duties as chamberlain to the king had
perQuisites of great value in doubloons
and Sancha had no hankering in his
breast to forswear those perquisites.
So now he made haste to say:
ALAS, fair Dulcinea, l could not
leave the palace even if l would. For
your beauty, dear queen, holds me
within the palace walls as one bound
with chains of iron"
This was the kind of flattery that
Sancha well knew was liked by the
queen. Flattery was to the ears of
this proud patrician Of Urania as meat
and honey to the palate. So now she
smiled upon Sancha and unburucned
her mind of her own evil and cunning
plans
This night, Sancha," she said. thou
shalt destroy this beauty of the for
est upon whom mine eyes have looked.
There is lust in my heart for the sight
