years followed Of hard campaigning
IN Palestine. Once Saint Louis was
even invited by the sedan OF Damas-
Gus 70 visit as a pilgrim that Holy City
"hich he could never enter as a con-
queror. But Saint Louis and his
knights were reminded Of story about
hicnard the Llon-Hearted, king Of Eng
land. For Richard once marched al
most within sight Of the capital 80 that
knight cried out to him:
Sire, come 50 far hither, and I will
show you Jerusalemr'
But the duke Of Burgundy had Just
deserted with half the crusading army,
lest It be said that the English had
taken Jerusalem. So when Richard
heard the knight calling, he threw his
coat Of armor before his eyes, all In
tears, and said TO our Savior:
Fair Lord God, 1 pray Thee suffer
me not to see Thy Holy City since
cannot deliver 1t from the hands Of
Thine enemies"
King Louis the Saint followed the
example Of King Richard the Hero, and
both left Palestine broken-hearted be-
cause they had not the strength to
take Jerusalem.
The return OF the king and queen to
France was full Of adventure, and De
Jolnville still had an appetite for such
little troubles as wreck and a sea
fight. Here Is a really nice story Of an
accident:
zone Of the queens bedwomen,
when she had put the q'Ieen to bed, was
needless and, taking the kerchief that
had been wound about her head threw
1t into the iron stove on which the
queens candle was burning, and when
she had gone into the cabin where the
women slept, below the queens cham
Der, the candle burnt on, till the kerr
chief caught fire, and from the kerr
chief the fire passed to the cloths
with which the queens garments were
covered. When the queen awoke she
saw her cabin all in flames, and
jumped up quite naked and took the
kerchief and threw It all burning into
the sea, and took the cloths and extin-
guished them. Those who we're In the
barge behind the ship cried, but not
very loud, Fire. irer lifted up my
head and saw that the kerchief still
burned with clear fame Oh the sea,
which was very still.
Il put on my tunic as quickly as ]
could, and went and sat with the mari

while 1 sat there my squire, who
slept before me, came to me and said
the king was awake, and asked where
I was. And 1 told him. said he, that
you we're in your cabin; and the king
said to me, Thou Hest !"' While we
were thus speaking, behold the queens
clerk appeared, Master Godfrey, and
said to me, BE not afraid, nothing has
happened. And 1 said, Master Geor-
frey, go and tell the queen that the
king is awake, and she should go TO
him. and set his mind at ease
