As darkness asscea6sA over Usar
mia Sancha took asiAe six Of the kings
retainers. And 70 them he said: This
night we 60 upon an erranA for the
king to bring hack . maiden alive
remember-alive!"
And later this same Saneha. chan
berlain b the king. took six other ~
tainers Of the king and to them saiA:
This night We 20 upon an errand
for the queen. And II shall be our
duty to bring back the heart of .
maiden. Remember-the maiAsaS
heart!"
Thus. upon giving conflicting orders
to two different groups Of the kings
retainers. Sancha hoped now to play
his game with some showing of sue
cess. II the maiden were brought to
the castle alive he would go to the
queen and declare that the kings men
had seized her. And II the heart of
the maiden were brought to the pal
ace. he would go to the king and de-
clare that the queens minions slew
the maiden.
Meantime, Godiva. heartbroken and
cast down with sorrow over the i'm
pending fate Of her lover Paulo sought
the privacy Of her bedchamber in the
cottage Of Rivarre. the shepherd.
In the kitchen Rivarre and his good
wife sat by the fire bemoaning the
fate that had overtaken them and
changed their daughters wedding
night into night Of mourning. And
presently Rivarre. hearing unaccus-
toned sounds without. peered from
the window. then turned to Mistress
Rivarre In deep alarm.
Many men are approaching" he
whispered. What new tragedy comes
now?"
With that the door burst open and
six Of the kings retainers entered.
Hail, Rivarre," one said. THE
queen wishes to speak with thy daugh-
ter Godiva for which purpose has her
majesty dispatched us to escort the
maiden to the palace"
Thus spoke cunningly the spokes-
man for the six retainers whom San
cha had told to execute the queens
command and bring the heart Of the
maiden.
Rivarre and his wife walled in dis
tress when they heard these words,
for they felt instinctively that harm
was impending for Godiva-else why
should the queens retainers come for
Godivs at this unseemly hour of the
night! Rivarre pleaded with the men
to depart in peace and leave their
daughter to enjoy her sleep.
This information was what the men
sought. Godiva elept. Then Godiva
was surely in yonder sleeping cham
Der. They hurled Rivarre to the floor
when he attempted to intercept them.
And they brushed the wailing mother
aside. And into the sleeping room of
Godiva the six men darted.
Godiva. awakened from Sleep sprang
up in great alarm, as the six men
rushed toward her couch. No time had
she to cry out, for paralysis seized her
rs she saw, cleaning in the hand of
one Of the men, a dagger that men
aced her heart. BY rough hands was
she seized and held now. as the man
