One September afternoon Ivan walked
to the summit Of hill, from which he
could sec the surrounding country for
miles. 4 Pickering light caught his eye.
There was long procession OF men wind
ing across the valley, and all were clad in
riitteriDU arTnor They were keeping
close to the shadow of the woods, but
when thew cross the sunlt path their
swords flashed back the light brightly
AT the head rode huge man on a black
horse and nearby another carried banner
on which was black eagle.
'It is old Earl Edmond exclaimed
Ivan. "IIe is coming TO attack the
Lord castle in the absence Of the owner.
Then far below Ivan noticed that not
far from the castle was a large bridge, and
below il rushed q mighty river
'The Earl will came on this side OF the
big bridge this evening in the woods. !"
said the boy aloud and by morning will
come over to take the castle. II the
timbers holding il can be cut through

river
" it'll this he ran TO his father shop and
got an az. Within an hour he was at the
bridge and had TO run to the other side,

the work. At last the beam was easily
broken in two parts He then took the
other post, and after three long hours Of
hewing and resting, he managed 10 also
sever that The bridge would now fall
spart were anyone 70 walk on il But
bv placing several planks over the hole,
Ivan made it look as If nothing had been
done
At dawn he heard the tramp OF men:
The heavy horses trotted on to the bridge,
while Ivan hid in the bushes at the far
end. At the head still rode Earl Edmond
on his black charger He nesred the side
leading to the castle His horse came
over the plank. il gave way and down steed
and rider plunged into the river. The
soldiers behind him could not stop their
horses, and hundreds tumbled into the
water after their leader
Suddenly the sound OF q bugle shrlllei
on the air and Ivan saw coming toward
him along the river bank the same Lord
RAYMOND who had marched away two
months before.
Ivan told the Lord how be had defeated
the wicked Earl and how the castle was
now saved from any attack by the enemy
Well done, my lad cried the Lord
'fYou have done better than l could have
with all my men. You must come e
the castle and be part of my guard, sc
when you are a man you can be knight
So Ivan took up his abode at the castle
Years afterward, when he was married t.
