Time was no measure to the crystal

work OF hours The city went up in
smoke and flame, and from the far
side through q great breach in the
wall the conquerors went out, with
their plumber and such prisoners as
had been saved to drag and carry it.
Now there were wagons and camels
and horses. Now there were tents
and furniture. Now each man of the
fighting force had as much as he him
self could carry, as well as what was
loaded on the prisoners. Only he and
she seemed to care nothing for the
loot and rode as if each was all the
other needed. Still he wore nothing
but his armor, and she no more than
her dancing dress and sandals. But
now she had eight prisoners to hold
a panoply above her horse and keep
the sun from her.

into each others eyes again above it.
Il have seen that before" she said.
shaking her head. Il am weary of
their battles. They won; that is
enough! | must know how they fail
ed, so that we make no such mistakes!
Her face was flushed, and her eyes
slowed with the fire that is not lit
by ordinary passion. She was being
eaten by mbition-burned by her
own fire-by ambition not totally self
ish, for she yearned to shepherd King
as she seemed to think this woman
of the vision had not shepherded the
man in armor.
Look again." she said Look
again! And oh, ye old gods, show
show me wherein she failed!"
They stared again, and once more
the crystal clouded Out of the cloud
came a city in the middle OF a plain,
and the city was beseiged. 1t was not
a very great city, but from the out
side it looked rich, for danes and
roofs and towers showed above the
wall, all we'll built and we'll preserved.

get it over with. They no longer had
only seven hundred men, but men by
the thousand. Their veterans in Ro-
man armor we're in command of others
now, and they had human pack
train with them, heavily burdened
captives who sulked in chains under
a guard.
The mist cleared further, and the
gate gave in under the blows of an
improvised battering-ram, covered by
showers of arrows from short range.
Then, like a river breaking down a
dam, the thousands stormed in, howl
ing. Smoke rose. There were screams
of women. A great tower near the
gate, that was half wood. half stone,
cracked and curled up in yellow and
crimson fame. He and she rode in
together as modern men and women
ride through a gate to the covert side
at a fox-hunt. They chatted and
laughed together, and their horses
pranced, responding to the humor of
their riders.
King would have liked to tear his
eyes away from the scenes that fol
lowed in the tree-lined streets, but the
crystal ball held him as if in a trance

II was plain that the enemy expect
ed them to retreat sooner or later, for
the archers and cavalry were at great
pains to get behind them, so that be-
fore long the road ahead was less well
defended than that behind 1t did not
seem to occur to the enemy that they
were pressing toward the distant line
of hills and did not seek to return at
all They had no baggage to impede
them. 1t was absurd to suppose they
would not try to fight a way back
soon. They must be Roman raiding
party, out to teach Parthians a lesson.
Yet they p.essed ever forward, and
the hills grew ever nearer; while he
sat a great brown charger calmly in
their midst and gave them not too
many orders, but here and there a
word of praise, and once or twice
trumpet shout of encouragement He
seemed to own the knack Of being
wherever the fight was fiercest. His
mere presence seemed better than a
hundred men when the phalanx bent
before charging cavalry.
. She rode a little white horse, beside
him always and utterly scornful of the
risk. She wore no armor-carried no
shield. Her bare feet showed through
the sandal straps, and the outlines of
her lissom body were quite visible
through the muslin stuff she wore.
She might have just come from the
dancing. She had a flower in her
hand, and wreath of flowers in her
hair She shouted more encourage
ment than he. She shouted too much.
Once he laid a strong brown hand
across her mouth, and she held it
there and kissed it.
They lost men-five or six or ten or
twenty at each onslaught. Perhaps
they had been a thousand strong in
the beginning. Their own men-the
regimental surgeons probably--cut the
throats of the badly wounded, to save
them from the enemy's attentions;
and by this time they were not more
than seven or eight hundred strong.
But they went forward--ever forward
and the line of hills drew near.
Then he began to stir himself, and she
with him. He shouted to them to
charge, and she echoed him, leaving
his side at last to take command of
a wing and sting the tired-out men-at-
arms into new enthusiasm. In a min
ute they were a roaring tide that
swept forward to the foot of the hills
aud sursed upward without a check.
In a little while they We're hurting
boulders down on an enemy that
seemed inclined to parley.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.-Govern-
ment regulation OF wheat prices was
thoroughly discussed today in the
Senate. Senator Gronna of North Da
