Chapter IL

WHEN Cedric the Saxon saw his
w son drop down senseless from
his wound in the lists at Ashby,
his first impulse was to order him
into the custody and care of his
own attendants, but the words
choked in his throat. He ordered.
however, Oswald to keep an eye
upon him, and set out for home.
The travellers had reached the
verge of the wooded country, and
were about to plunge into its re-
cesses, held dangerous at that time,
but Notwithstanding the lateness
of the hour, Cedric and Athelstane
accounted themselves secure, as
they had in attendance ten SER
wants.
AS the travellers journeyed on
their way, they were alarmed by
repeated cries for assistance; and
when they rode up to the place
f.om whence they came, they were
surprised to find a horse litter
placed upon the ground, beside
which sat young woman, richly
dressed in the Jewish fashion,
while an old man whose yellow
cap proclaimed him to belong to
the same nation, walked up and
down with gestures expressive OF
the deepest despair.
To the enquiries of Athelstane
and Cedric, Isaac of York (for il
was our old friend) was at length
able to explain, that he had hired
a hody-guard of six men at AShby
together with mules for carrying
the litter of a sick friend. This
party having received information
from a wood-cutter that there was
strong band of outlaws lying ir
wait in the woods before them, had
not only taken flight, but had car
ried off with them the horses
which bore the litter.
Rebecca, rising, and throwing
back her veil, implored in the great
name of the God whom they botf
worshipped, that they have COM
passion upon them, and suffer
them to go forward under theil
safeguard. sit is not for myselt
that pray this favour" said Re-
becca; "nor is it even for that poor
old man. But it is in the name o.
one dear to many, and dear ever
to you, that / beseech you to lie
this sick person be transported
with care and tenderness under
your protection"
"The man is old and feeble" sale

Rowena to her guardian, "the
maiden young and beautiful, their
friend sick and in peril of his life
Jews though they be, we cannot as
Christians leave them in this ex-
tremity. Let them unload two of
the sumpter- mules, and put the
baggage behind two of the serfs."
Cedric readily assented to what
she proposed, and the change of
baggage was hastily achieved; for
the single word outlaws" rem
dered every one sufficiently alert,
and the approach of twilight made
the sound yet more impressive.
Amid the hustle, Gurth, who had
been discovered at the tourney
acting as Ivanhoe'S squire and
made prisoner, was taken from
horseback, in the course of which
removal he prevailed upon the
Jester to slack the cord with
which his arms were bound.
Gurth found no difficulty in free
| ing his arms altogether from
bondage, md then, gliding into the
lthicket, he made his escape from
the party.
THE pain upon which the party
/ travelled was now so narrow,
as not to admit, with any sort of
convenience, above two riders
abreast. Cedric and Athelstane,
who were at 1.-The head of their
retinue, saw the risk of being at
tackled at this pass; but neither
of them having had much prac-
tice in war, no better mode OF
preventing the danger occurred
| to them than that they should
hasten through the def1le as fast
as possible. Advancing, therefore,
without much order, they were
assaulted in front, flank, and rear
at once, with an impetuosity to
| which, in their confused and i'll
prepared condition, it was inpos-
| sible to offer effectual resistance
Both the Saxon chiefs were
made prisoners at the same mo-
ment.
| Of all the train none escaped ex-
cept Wanda, who showed upon the
occasion much more courage thar
those who pretended to greater
sense. Finding himself overpow-
cred, the Jester threw himseli
from his horse, plunged into the
thicket, and, fayoured by the gen.
eral confusion, escaped from the
scene of action.
Yet the valiant Jester, as soon az
he found himself safe, hesitatec
more than once whether he should
not turn back and share the cap.

EFFICIENCY

Six months is not sufficient time for a
decisive trial of a new form of govern
ment, particularly when it had been oper-
ated under another form for more than
century, yet City Manager King, in re-
counting at the Rotary luncheon Thurs
day, what had been done in Key West
during the six months since the commits
sion-manager form of government became
effective, demonstrated its superiority over
the councilmanic form, with its pernicious
buck-pasing.
Let us recall merely small matter
to show the difference in operation be-
tween the two forms of government. For
several years Ann street directly in front
of the doorways from which fire engines
came out when alarms were sounded, was
filled with ruts and depressions. Scores of
times The Citizen called on the city council
to repair that part of Ann street. And what
was TIE result? A dozen times the ruts
and depressions were filled with mari,
which was washed out with every succeed
ing rain.
The reason for those makeshift re-
pairs and for many other conditions that
should not have existed in our city, was
because in City Hall you could not put
your finger on any one man who was to
blame for their continuance. Complain to
this official, and he referred you to another
official, and so on until you found your
self in vicious circle.
Many time, during the 80 years The
Citizen advocated the commission-mana-
ger form of government in Key West, it
pointed out that, were the city operated
in that manner, there would not be any
more buck-passing. Complain to the city
manager, and he would not tell you to see
some other official, because it was his
duty to act, and he knew he was held &C
countable.
So it was in that simple matter of Ann
street: when it was repaired under City
Manager Kings direction, the surface was
asphalted. 1t was well-done job, and the
street is still in good condition.
When Manager King took over, the
scavenger department was collecting $10,-
600 less than it spent Now the deficit is
only $4,000 and The Citizen predicts it
won't be long before the department will
be paving for its own operation.
The showing in the collection of occu-
pational taxes is still better. Under the
councilmanic form, from seven hundred
to one thousand business men either were
slow in obtaing licenses or did not bother
to get them. At one time City Clerk Roy
Hamlin prepared list of more than seven
hundred who were not paying occupational
licenses, and his work went for naught, be-
cause the efforts to collect them died a.
borning. But everybody is paying now, King
informed the Rotarians
He has been in office only four months
and has not had sufficient time to gather
,up the hundred and one loose threads he
found when he entered office. Give him
year, and The Citizen believes that at the
end of that time efficiency will be the
dominating factor in our city government.

tivity of master to whom he was
sincerely attached.
Suddenly, voice very near him
called out in low and cautious
tone, ssWamba!"
"Gurth!" answered Wanda, with
the same caution, and the swine
herd Immediately stood before
him.

eagerly; "what mean these cries,

only a trick of the times" said
Wanda; ''they are all prisoners"
sGurth's countenance kindled---
Wanda" he said, thou hast a
weapon, and thy heart was ever
stronger than thy brain-we are
only two-but sudden attack
from men of resolution will do
| much-follow mel"
As the Jester was about to obey,
a third person suddenly made his
appearance, and commanded them
| both to halt. From his dress and
| arms, Wanda would have conjee-
| tured him to be one of those out
laws who had just assailed his
master; but, besides that he wore
no mask.
"What is the meaning of all this"
said he, cor who is it that rifle. and
ransom, and make prisoners. in
these forests?"
"You may look at their cassocks
close by" said Wanda, "and see
whether they be thy children's
coats or motor. they are as like
thine own as one green pea-cod is
to another"
II will learn that presently" an
lswered Locksley (for so he was
known), "and Icharge We, on peril
of your lives, not to stir from the
place where We stand, until / have
returned"
| The yeoman returned in the
course of a few minutes.
i Friend Gurth," he said, II have
mingled among yon men, and have
learnt to whom they belong, and
WHITTIER they are bound. For three
| men to attempt them at this mo-
Trent were little else than mad
ness: for they are good men of war.
But trust soon to gather such a
force as may act in defiance of
all their precautions; you are both.
| as l think, faithful servants, of
Cedric the Saxon, the friend of
!, the rights of Englishmen. He
shall not want English hands to
help him in this extremity. Come
then with me, until I gather more
aid"

Many persons, discouraged in

have been restored through oppor-

where they are able to secure work
suitable to their ability.
Increased need for the workshop
has been evident recently as many
handicapped civilians, who have
found employment during the war
have been replaced by returning
veterans. In the past few months,
according to Mrs Samuel Herrick.
president of the guild, the number
Of employed in the workshop has
doubled, with many of the new
corners more handicapped than
those who have been working for
some time.
Tentative plans for expansion to
take care of postwar needs are now
being made by the guild.
The guild for many years has
made services available to employees
at the workshop which otherwise
would have been impossible. One
