"Here IS some one asleep, at the
foot of this Hugo, stir him
with the butt-end of thy lance"
This was no sooner done than
the figure arose, exclaiming in
good French, 'sWhosoeve- thou
art, it is discourteous in yor to
disturb my thoughts"

said the Prior, 'sthe road to the

a horse, I would be your guide"
Thou shalt have both thanks
and reward, my FRIEND" said the
Prior.
Their conductor pursued an
opposite road from that which
Wanda had recommended, for
the purpose of misleading them,
and soon pointed out a large low
building, saying, "Yonder is
Rotherwood, the dwelling of Ced-
ric the Saxon.
This was a joyful intimation to
Aymer, whose nerves were none
of the strongest. Finding himself
now at his ease and near shelter
he demanded of the guide who
and what he was.
"a Palmer, just returned from
the Holy Land" was the answer.
'You had better have tarried
there to fight for the recovery of
the. Holy Sepulchre, T" said the
-Templar.
"True, Reverend Sir Knight"
answered the Palmer, "but when
those who are under oath to re-
cover the holy city, are found
at such distance from
the scene of their duties, can you
wonder that a peaceful peasant
like me should decline the task
which they have abandoned?"
The Templar would have made
an angry reply, but instead, he
wound his horn loudly at the
gate. -

AS such, the report says, it is very

There Is little occasion for excitement
Ia connection with the arrest of the Rus
san naval lieutenant in Portland, Oregon,

facts are revealed
The accused lieutenant, however,

purposes" will have any influence upon
the people of this country. In fact, it was
not necessary to make such change in

be innocent until convicted
The Soviet Government requested the
release of the lieutenant, on the ground
that he was innocent. but this was denied

NIOIWIIf1SIANQ the 0cca-
sional exhortation and child
ing Of his companion, Wanda
could not be prevented from lin
gering, and the horsemen soon
overlook them.
Their numbers amounted to
ten men, of whom the two who
rode foremost seemed to be per-
sons of considerable Importance,
and the others their attendants.
1t was not difficult to ascertain
the condition and character of
one of these personages. He was
obviously an ecclesiastic of high
rank whose countenance bore as
little the marks of self denial, as
his habit indicated contempt of
worldly splendour.
The companion of the church,
dignitary was a. man past forty,
thin, strong, tall, and muscular.
His keen, piercing dark eyes
seemed to challenge opposition TO
his wishes. A deep scar on his
brow gave additional sterness to
his countenance, and sinister
expression to one of his eyes.
The upper dress of this person.
age resembIed that of his COM
paaion in shape. but the colour,
being scarlet, showed that he did
not belong to any order of monks.
On the right shoulder of the man
tie was cut a cross of a peculiar
fears.
They were followed by attend
ants, whose dark visages, white
tiirbaris, and the Oriental form of
their garments, showed them to be
of some distant Eastern country.
The singular appearance of this
cavalcade not only attracted the
curiosity of Wanda, but excited
even that of his less volatile COM
panion. The monk he instantly
knew to be the Prior of Jorvaulx
Abbey, well known for many
miles around.
They could scarcely attend to
the. Prior of Jorvaulx' question,
when he demanded if they knew
of any place of harbourage in the
vicinity.
.If the reverend fathers" said
Wanda, loved good cheer and
soft lodging, few miles of riding
would carry them to the Priory
of BrinXworth, where their quail
ity could not but secure them the
most honorable reception; or if
they preferred spending a peni-
teatial evening. they might turn
down yonder wild glade, which
would bring them to the hermit
age of Copmanhurst.' sFm s

n armed rider, breaking in on
his prattle with a high and stern
voice, land tell US, if thou eanst,

Abbot, ION condition thou wilt

"your reverences must hold on
this path till you come to a

to the left, for there are four
which meet at Sunken Cross, and

comes on"
AS their horses hoofs died
away, Gurth said to, his COM

direction, the reverend fathers
will hardly reach Rotherwood
this night"
"No," said the Jester, grinning.

Compromise Offered.
French Delegate Maurice Couve
de Murville interviewed with what he
termed compromise proposal to
demilitarize the free state and re-
strict the governors powers.
The commission thereupon re-
cessed- until tonight to give dele
gates time to study the French draft
which would prohibit the stationing
of foreign troops in the zone, but
make the United Nations Security
Council responsible for its indie
pendence and integrity.
How to reconcile these two points
was one of the commissions prin-
cipal concerns.
Charging the Russians with bleed
ing Hungary into a state of eco
nomic collapse, the United States
moved to cut Hungarian reparations
payments to the Soviets from $780,
100000 to $500, O00, 900 with "other
adjustment" to aid her economy.
The United States delegate said he
would also ask that compensation
for Allied property losses be limited
to Is per cent of total damages.
Three Notes Sent by United States.
Speaking to the Balkan Economic
Commission, the American economic
expert, Willard Thorp, revealed that
the United States had sent three
notes to Russia in March and Sep
TENDER Of this year proposing a
three-power conference to halt the
disintegration of Hungary"
In the third note, Washington
said that "the situation is critical ?
but no answer was ever received
from Moscow, Mr.. Thorp declared
Mr.. Thorpe said the Soviet Union
was draining Hungary of $3.50, 000, 600
a year. or roughly IS per cent Of her
current national income. This total
included $70,000000 a year for the
army of occupation, $4,000, 900 in
acquisitions and 40,000, 900 in rep
-arations deliveries.
These figures did not include the
industrial plant equipment removed
from Hungary as war booty by the
Russians, Mr.. Thorpe said.
Soviet Delegate Feodor Gusev
challenged the American proposal
as violation of the Big Four Min
listers Council agreements and said
it should be voided because OF its
hardness.

Mr.. Odell, operator Of 5000

He claimed that wartime price
controls and OPA ceilings since the
war discouraged feeding Of cattle
to full weights and that too much
livestock went to market underfed.
Robert Y. Ross, operator Of

Nebraska, says he Is marketing the

be tempted to send even larger num-
bers to market, but that there was
the matter of income taxes.

however, because there Is very little
