CHAPTER X.
When Might Made Right.
What difference that, somewhere
beyond the hills, men were fighting
and castles were burning? At Ivars-
dale, in the shelter and cheer of the
lord's great hall, the feast of thu bar-
lev beer was at Its height.
Where the glow lay rosiest, the
young lord sat In the great raised
chair, jesting with his Danish page
who knelt on the step at his side
Now the boy's answering provoked
him to laughter, and he put out a
hand and tousled the thick curls in
his favorite caress.
Like a quieting hand, the first of
the melow chords from the harp fell
upon the noise of the revel. The
servants bearing away the dishes be-
gan to tread the rushes on tiptoe, and
a dozen frowns rebuked any clatter.
Through the hush, the gleeman be-
gan to sing the "Romance of King
Offa," the king who married a wood
nymph for dear love's sale. Lord
and page, man and maid and serf,
strained eye and ear toward the
harper's tattered figure. What mat-
ter that outside au autumn wind was
nowllng through the forest unci strip-
ping the leaves through the vines?
Within sound of the mellow harp
music it was balmiest springtime, as
the castlefolk followed the gleeman
over the hills and dales of a flowering
dream-world.
For a space after he had finished,
the silence remained unbroken, then
gave way only to an outburst of ap-
plause.
Above the confusion rose the voice
of the brawniest of the henchmen,
passing his judgment 011 the ballad.
"Now that is my own desire of songs,"
he declared. "That was worth pos-
sessing—the love of that lass. Drink
to the wood maiden, comrades, bare
feet and wild ways and all!" Swing-
man's feet upon the steps was audlbb
long before he reached the waltire
roomful. Every eye fastened itself
upon the curtained doorway.
Swinging back, the arras disclose,
a face full of amazement. "Lord,
the man said, "it is Danes! Noni
know how many or how they canit
there. And their chief has sent you e
messenger."
"Danes!" For the first time In the
history of . Ivarsdale, the word wat
siMiken with an accent of relief.
The page turned from the tire with
a cry of bitter rejoicing: "If it is
Canute, I will go to him!"
In the revulsion of his feelings, the
Etheling laughed outright "Since it
is not Edmund. I care not if it b • the
Evil One himself; and it cannot be he
for Canute is in Metcia." Beckonlnj
to Morcard, he lie an to consult bin.
concernlng the most effective ar-
rangement of the sentinels; and th 1
was a muffled clatter of weapons as
men went to and fro with hasty steps.
When all was ready t k messei.g. i
was brought in between guards.
Wrapped in dirty sheepskins, he
swaggered to the << nter jf the room.
Pitching his cloak higher on his
shoulders, he fastened his eyes on a
hole in the tap stry behind the Ethel-
ing's chair and began monotonous ;>
to recite his lesson: "Rothgar, the
son of Lodbrok, sends you greeting.
Sebert Oswaldsson; and it Is his will
that you surrender to him the odal
and Tower of Ivarsdale; as is right,
because the odal was created and the
Tower built by Ivar Vidfadmi, who
was the first son of Lodbrok and the
father's father's father of my chief--"
In spite of himself, he was obliged to
stop to take In breath.
In the pause the page bent toward
his master, hi. ? alight with a sud-
den fierce trlun : h. "Lord," he wbis-
pered, "you can never get out! You

"Within Sound of the Mellow Harp-Music It Was Balmiest Springtime."
ing up his horn, he drained.off the
toast at a draught. "Give us a mis-
tress like that, my lord,," he cried
merrily, "and we will hold Ivarsdale
for her though all of Edmund's men
baiter at the doors.'
The Lord of Ivardale shook his
head Indolently against the cushion.
"No wood lass for me, friend Celric."
he said. "The lady of my love shall
be a high-born maid who knows no
more of the world's roughness than I
of woman's ways. Deliver me from
your sun-browned, boy-bred wenches!" j
The henchman would not be
downed; again his voice rose above
the others. "In soft days, my lord, ;
in soft days, it might easily be so. |
But bear in mind such times as these,
when grief happens to a man oftener
than joy. Methinks your lily fair lady
would swoon at the sight of your
blood; and tears would be the best
answer you would get, should you
seek to draw comfort out of her."
White as a star at dawn, the page's
face was raised while his wide eyes
hung on his master's.
The young noble laughed with gay
scorn. "Tears would be in all re-
spects a better answer than I should
deserve, should 1 whimper faint-heart-
ed words Into a maiden's ear. What
folly-fit do you speak in, fellow?
What? Do you think I would wed
another comrade like yourself, or a
playfellow like this youngster?" Ever
so gently Ills foot touched the boyish
form on the step.
Disputing and agreeing, the clamor
rose anew, and the Etheling turned to
his favorite with a jest. But the
page was no longer In his place. He
had risen to his feet and was stand-
ing with his head flung back like one
in pain, both hands up tearing the
tunic away from his throat. Sebert
bent toward him with a question on
his lips.
He forgot the ouery before he could
speak it, however, for at that mo-
ment there was a sound of hurried
steps on the stone stairs, and one of
the armed watchmen from the top of
the Tower burst into the room.
"Lord," he gasped, "some one Is
upon us! We thought first it was
naught but the noise of the wind—
then Elward saw a light. We swear
they came not over the bridge, yet—" ,
His words were cut short by a
horn 1 last from the darkness, loud and
clear above the whistling wind Jests
and laughter died on the lips that
111 r. them, and with one accord the
men turned in their seats to watch
their master.
lib fact1 had sobered ns li6 listened;
before the first echo had died away
ho had spoken swiftly to the fellow
nt his side. "Celric, get you down to
the guard at the gate and Inquire into
the meaning of that."
When the !.• ichman had left, he
be can a sharp questioning of the sen-
tinel. and the noise did not begin
again. In the quiet, the tap of the
are caught as though they had you in
a trap!"
Astounded, Sebert drew back to
stare at him. "Fridtjof! It is not pos-
sible that you are unfaithful to me!"
The boy's only answer was to drop
down up< 11 the step and bury his face
in his hands. And now the messen-
ger had recovered his wind and his
place.
"Since the time of Alfred," he went
on, "my chief and his kin have been
kept out of the property by your Fiock
and you; yet because he does not
wish to look mean, he offers you to
go out in safety with all of your
housefolk, both men and women, and
as much property as you can walk
under—if you go quietly and in
peace."
The Etheling's voice was very deep
and quiet. "If wo go in peace," he
repeated slowly. "And if we do not?"
The Dane shrugged his burly shoul-
ders. "There are no terms for that.
You will find it necessary to take
what comes*"
Again there was silence.
Sebert put his last question: "How
long does the son of Lodbrok give
me to consider how I am to order
things?"
The man shattered the silence with
his boisterous laughter. "My chief
gives you no time at all. So long a
time, he has studied out, will It take
me to come In to you; so much longer
to do my errand; and so much longer
to get back. At the end of that time
he will blow Ills l.orn, and If your
gates do not fly open in abedience,
he will take that for your answer."
The Lord of Ivarsdale rose with
sparks Hashing from the steel of his
eyes. "By Peter, l.c Is right! I do
not need even that long," he cried.
"Since the Wide-Fat homer began the
game, the Tower has been the prize
of the strongest. For his answer, be
he reminded of his own Danish say-
ing. that it is a strong bird that can
take what an eagle has in his claws,'
and let him get what comfort he can
from that."
After his ringing tones, the un-
moved voice of the messenger fell
flat on the ear. "I has happened as
we supposed, that you would answer
unfavorably," he said as he turned.
"It was seen iu battle that you are
a brave man. Otherwise the chief
would not have thought it necessary
to hew a path through the forest In
order to take you by surprise." Sa-
luting with some appearance of re-
spect. he joined his conductors at the
door and passed out of sight down the
stair.
Like smoke in the wake of a fire-
brand, confusion rose behind him; a
din of exclamations loosed 011 the
air and the clangor of weapons caught
down from the wall. Through It the
Etheling's voice sounded strongly.
"To the palisade, all of you! They
may not wait till morning. To the
forest side; and keep them from it
is you would beep off death!" He I
ent and shook the crouching page.
My armor, boy! How! Would you I
lave me read treason in your slug-
gishness? My armor!"
The page started up, but It was only
0 stare past him an l fling out his
and toward a window, where a bright I
I! • tta ■ all aboi athwart tin
iarkness: "Lord, they have set fire
io something!"
The voice cf old Morcard rose
shrill: "To the storehouses! Save
the grain!"
There was a wild rush for the door; |
hut on the threshold they were met
! y shouts of watchmen hurrying from

"I am very poor, Mr. Carleton," she
said, and if you give me that hand-
. rchit t 1 think 1 <an live on it a

a picturesque house in Vermont, and
from this pleasant home he often
makes excursions into the wildest aud
most isolated parts of tr.e State.
During a recent visit to New York
Mr. Parrish said:
"I stopped overnight at a lonely Ver-
mont farm last month. The house
commanded a barren and desolate
landscape. It was anything but gay.
i remember the brief conversation
1 had with the farmer as he showed
me to my bed.
" 'A very quiet place,' 1 said.
" 'It is,' said he.
" 'Does a newspaper ever find its
way here?'
" 'Seldom.'
" 'Then,' I said, 'you don't hear
much of what is going on in New
York, eh?'
" 'No,' said the farmer, grimly, 'but
then, you see, they don't hear much
in New York of what is going on hero,
either.'"

known criminal lawyer, once turned
a ease in his favor by the happy in-
spiration of a side remark.
George S. Graham, then district at-
torney of the Quaker City, was mak-
ing his plea to the jury. Suddenly
pointing to the prisoner, he shouted,
"He has been In politics too long to
be honest!"
He paused for a moment to let the
full significance of the words sink
home, when in a quiet but penetrat-
ing voice, Mr. Shields, leaning to-
ward the speaker, said:
"You've been In politics some little
time yourself, haven't you, George?"
The jury shook with laughter, Mr.
Graham sat down discomfited, and a
few minut< s later the twelve good
men and true brought in a verdict of
not guilty.
Took the Warning.
"Charles," said a sharp-voiced wom-
an to her husband In a railway car-
riage. "do you know that you and I
once had a romance In a railway car-
riage?"
"Never heard of it," replied Charles
in a subdued tone.
"I thought you hadn't; but don't
you remember it was that pair of slip-
pers 1 presented to you the Christmas
before we were married that led to
our union? You remember how nice-
ly they fitted, don't you? Well,
Charles, one day when we were going
to a picnic, you had your feet up on a
seat, and when you weren't looking I
took your measure. But for that pair
of slippers I don't believe we'd ever
been married."
A young unmarried man. sitting by,
immediately took down his feet from
a seat.—London Tit-Bits.
Raw Eggs a Tonic.
A raw egg is an excellent tonic and
is veiy st lengthening. If prepared
In the following way it is really a
delicious drink. Put the yolk of an
egg into a dish with a teaspoonful of
white sugar and a teaspoonful of
orange or lemon juice, and beat light-
ly together with a fork. Put the
whites on a plate and add a pinch of
salt; then, with a broad-bladed knife,
beat it to a stiff froth. Now. as light-
ly as possible, mix all together in the
dish, then as lightly transfer it to a
clean tumbler, which it will nearly
fill if properly made. It must, not
stand in a warm place, as it soon be-
comes liquid and loses its snowy look.
Any fruit juice may be used in place
of orange cr lemon.

In this section of Pennsylvania there-
in a growing belief that for such Kid-

place. She tells the story herself as
follows:
"I havo suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and tlnd that Dodd's;
Kidney Pills have done mo more good
than any medicine I have ever taken.
I was also bothered with Lame Back
and I ran only say that my back
hasu't bothered mo since I took
Dodd's Kidney Pills."
Considering that Mrs. Davison only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills*
the result would bo considered won-
derful if it wore not tuat others are-
