Oedlva the Shepherd's Oeughter.
I m dmitd to the simple frock of
the shepherd's daughter. Mr name
tor the tine being was Oodiva And
I waa about to enact the drat scene la
the photoplay by James Oliver Cur-
wood. entitled "The Story of the Blood
Red Rose." The director who waa pro-
ducing the play came to me. Baying:
“Why not take your pen in hand and
turn this play Into a novel?"
“Maybe I willI replied. “But Brut
S must ees whether It develops a story
with sufficient material In It to make
• novel."
And then we began putting the scene
“on"—I playing the leading part of
Oodiva, the ahepherd’a daughter,
whose story I shall aet forth here.
Whether this story developed sufli-
dent of poetry, romance, adventure
and tragedy to make a novel, you who
toad shall be the Judge.
Oodiva, the shepherd’s daughter,
emerged from the pool In which she
had been swimming. It was a pool In
the forest glade, and only the eye of
nightingale and thrush and robin had
access to this bathing place of Oodiva,
the shepherd’s daughter. Just now
the nightingale bad ceased its song
and It was the turn of the thrush and
the robin to entertain Oodiva as she
emerged from her morning ablutions.
Tor Just now the sun of three hundred
years agone was rising over the king-
dom of Urania.
Bven as Venus rose newborn from
the foam-crested wave of the sea, so
now cams the lovely Oodiva from the
limpid pool in the forest of Urania—
dripping, flushed, blushing, vigorous,
happy. On the moss-carpeted bank
Oodiva threw on her frock of white
homespun, low-throated and held to
her supple figure by cords of cotton
that served as a girdle. A shake or
two of her looeened hair that was as
golden as the rising sun—and the toi-
let of Oodiva was made.
Through the forest aisles she sped
now till she reached a cottage that
stood In the shadow of great oaks and
willows and elms, and facing the far-
Yeachlng plain whereon grazed her fa-
ther’s sheep. Far down the plain Oo-
diva could see the hillocks where the
young shepherds, Blento and Machere,
assistants to Rlvarre, the father of
Oodiva, watched the flock by night
and day. And beyond the flock Oodlya
how could see the frowning, battle-
snppor. And surety now lie mus
near—and I go to meet him."
Out from the cottage then dashed
the fair Oodiva and darted again to
the forest. And as she sped, so fleet
of foot, she cried again and again.
“Paulo! O Paulo!" Till presently
came an answering cry: "Oodiva! O
Oodiva !“*-aad Into view came a young
man with croesbow and carrying
athwart his shoulders a deer from
which life had fled because of a bolt
shot with unerring aim from the cross-
bow of Paulo. Par tamed In Urania
was Paulo, the crossbowman. whose
skill oft had Inspired the admiration
and envy even of the king’s own arch-
ers. when these happened to asset

for lovers were then precisely what
lovers are today. Hand in hand they
strolled till finally Paulo stopped.
"Hearken!” be said. "Hear you
not, my Oodiva, a song that Is yet not
a song, since It Is a crooning?"
" Tls Hagar!" cried Oddlva. "Hager
the witch! Hagar, our friend, who
makes potions In her black kettle—
potions that work magic upon those
who partake of them."
They stood now at the entrance to
a cava. Within the dark, gloomy, eav-

ernous, shudderous Interior they could
see the witch hobbling about a fire,
over which, by means of a rude tripod
of sticks, a kettle waa suspended. Bo
Intent was Hagar upon her ubrk at
the kettle that she failed to hear the
titter of Oodiva without and the light
hearted laughter of Paulo. Oodiva
caught up a stick and threw It Into
the cava. The stick fell at the feet
of Hagar the witch and attracted thus
her attention. 8he peered out and
broke Into a pleased chuckle.
"Bnter, my children!" she cried.
"Thou art always welcome.*’
The lovers entered the cave and
viewed without shudder the hideous
paraphernalia of witchery with which,
In many visits to this home of Hagar,
they bad become familiarized. Black
cate there were, with eyes like glow
lng embers. And skulls of men and
women. And parrots that croaked
most horribly. And snakes that kept
their distance yet were none too pleas-
ing to the eye In their wrtthlngs.
And as for Hagar—Hagar was in ap-

And as Oodiva viewed the monastic

CHAPTER II. ‘
The King of Urania.
From the carcass of the deer, whteb
Paulo the huntsman had left outside
the cave, a haunch of venison was nop
presented to Hagar the witch. Paulo
then again shouldered the animal he
had slain for the nuptial supper and
bade Oodiva follow him.
Come, my Oodiva," he said, “we
will away from the cave of the witch
before she can fill your ears with more
of silly prattle of danger that besets
you In the person of the king."
Through the forest then they saun-
tered In their love and happiness, till
at last they reached the cottage of
Rlvarre the shepherd. There Paulo
set this trophy of the chase on the
wide stone corridor. Mistress Rlvarre
came from the kitchen and Paulo fell
to skinning the deer.
"Ay! 'tls goodly viand we shall have
at your wedding supper tonight," said
Mistress Rlvarre. "The which Is due
to your skill, good Paulo, with the
crossbow."
Just then, too, Rlvarre himself Joined
the group, returning from his morn
lng visit to the keepers of his flock on
the plains.
"Hall, Paulo," he called to his future
son-in-law. "Welcome to the house of
Rlvarre, even though this day you are
to filch my dearest possession. Yet
In all Urania I know of none more
worthy of my Oodiva. But hearken!
What comes?”
The mother and daughter had a!
ready disappeared within the cottage
to aet to work in earnest on the prepa-
rations for the wedding supper, at
which many gueeta would gather. And
now toward the forest the eyes of
Rlvarrs and Paulo traveled and this
la what they beheld: A cavalcade led
by one on a horse so richly capari-
soned and riding so far In advance of
the others as to bespeak exalted rank.
And behind the exalted one came
equerries and archers with crossbows
and courtiers and huntsmen and
menials, the letter carrying many a
carcass of deer slain In the hunt.
Through the picture, too, bolted a pack
of hounds, though Just then the iqaster
of the pack sounded his horn for re-
treat, and the bounds obediently
checked their bolting and came to bay.
Then straight to the shepherd’s cot-
tage came the exalted one on the rich-
ly caparisoned horse, accompanied by
a few chosen ones Including one at-
tired as court Jester.
"Well met, good man," said the ex-
alted one, addressing Rlvarre. "And
thou aeemest here In the forest to
thrive of goodly prosperity and plenty.
Might we Intrude upon thy hospitality
to the extent of a draught of goat’s
flay. She and Paulo, the young and | crooning of song that waa no aong, and
mighty buntar. had planned to go thla I Krratlng with bony arms around and
flay to yonder monastery, where a holy
friar would unite them.
From within the cottage came now
the sound of the patter of wooden
ehoee on a wooden floor. And Oodiva

breakfast and waa preparing to go
forth to the plain to view hla flocks
and commend hla assistants, Blento
and Machere, for their watchfulness
For It waa the kindly way of Rlvarre,
the sheep raiser, to encourage with
praise the good work of those who
watched hla flocks.
Oodiva bounded Into the cottage.
Good Dame Rlvarre, her mother, greet
«d her:
"Eat your millet and milk, my
daughter,’’ she said, “and then to
>our spinning wheel. For there Is
much to do this day."
around the edge of the pot, she con-
tinued:
"Bee, now, exquisite Oodiva, what
the brew reveals. Behold now, brave
Paulo, what the potion discloses. Thou,
Oodiva, art here changed by the po-
tion Into an animal—any animal thou
deslrest—a fawn or a cat as black as
black, or even a bird that flies or a
fish that swims.”
"Nay, nay, Hagar!" cried Godiva, In
alarm. "Into none of these would I
desire to be changed. If ever, because
of need, I should wish to change from
human form, It would be to reappear
as a flower, some lovely flower.
The witch made more passes over
the steaming kettle, added a few more
leaves, and then said
"And thou, Paulo! What seest thou
In the brew? Bee you not yourself
Rlvarre, the girl’s father, chuckled, lying upon the forest floor with arrow-
"You forget, good wife," be said. "Our
daughter Oodiva this day Journeys to
the monastery with Paulo.
"Ay! *tis as you say, Rlvarre," the
mother retorted, “but not till night
fall la Oodlva’a nuptial hour. Where-
fore la there not time for her to
•pin?"
All thla time Oodiva was busy with
her milk and millet, till now abe cried:
"My mother, my father I Think you
the holy men of ths monastery will

happy as I? Were I more happy than
I am, dear dears, I think—well!—1

Then upsp-ang Oodiva and added:
"Nay, mother mine, not for mo la the
bolt piercing thy mortal body? And
see! the king’s archers pursue theet
Yet another bolt they let fly at thee—
and then—"
"Nay, nay, Hagar!" Interposed
Paulo. "Speak not of prophecies that

thy speech be of pleasant gossip. For
this day, Hagar, my Oodiva goes with
me to the holy friar at the monastery,
there to be Joined to me as bone of my
bone, for evermore.”
‘‘Silence 1 ” cackled the witch. “Paulo,
I warn thee—beware of the king’s
archers. And thou, look! Oodiva,"
she cried, with the vehemence of a
madwoman. "Look now, Oodiva! See!

And now the king looked open Oo-
diva as one transfixed. So Instant waa
his admiration for the lovely daughter
of Rlvarre and ao Instantly flaren his
pesaton and desire tor meld ao exquis-
ite, that he dtemooated that he might
the better view her Incomparable love-
liness. And Paulo trembled with rage
at sight of this kingly covetousness.
And Oodiva herself was filled with
strange alarms.
“ ’Tls an ugly wench." said ThoM.
the Jester, floss to the ear of the king.
"So ugly. sire, that thoh hadst better
quaff the milk she proffers end fly
hence, lest she take thee with her hor-
rible eyelids."
Silence—fool!" the king replied.
"Homage thou shalt pay to beauty ao
rare. By my halldome, thou shalt
make obeisance to yonder maid as to
a quean. Grovel, I say. Qrovel at her
feet, ThoM. end kies not more than
the toe of her sandal, the which being
the total of her person thou art fitted
to look upon."
And In awful fear. Thold. the Jester,
groveled dutifully at the feet of Oodiva
and kissed the toe of her sandal. And
the king quaffed the milk the maiden
proffered. And the gentlemen of the
entourage drank deeply aleo of the
goat’e milk till, much refreshed, they
watted for the further commands of
their august sovereign.
"Thy name!” eatd the king, speaking
directly now for the first time to the
object of his newborn admiration.
“OodivaI” the maiden replied, cour-
tesytng.
'Ay! ’tie a name moat befitting thy
form and face,“ the king said. “Thou
art named after the lovely Lady Godiva
who, 400 years ago, rode through the
market-place of Coventry on a white
horse, with naught but her black
tresses to covu her perfectidff of per-
son. 1 would walk with thee, Godiva
—In yonder wooded aisles. I would a
word w ith thee away from all profane
ears. Might it please vou. Godiva, to
venture hence under my protection ?"
A request from the king was a com-
mand. Paulo was nettled and fearful-
ly he trembled with rage at the bold-
neas of the king. But rage most Im-
potent was that in Paulo's breast; for
what could one huntsman do to check
the ^abroachment of a king who had
at hla beck and cali full fifty archers
and sundry varlets. No, Paulo was
obliged to view in passive rage the
going of Oodiva and his majesty Into
the forest, the going of hla dear love
with the king against whose evil heart
they had been warned by Hagar, the
witch.
Nevertheless, Paulo slipped away
from the cottage unobserved by the
king’s men who loitered there awaiting
their elre’a return. And through the
forest Paulo alyly and silently crept in
the wake of Oodiva and the king.
Presently Paulo aaw the king stop
by a great oak, with Oodiva by hie
aide. And more than thla Paulo be-
held. He saw the king suddenly take
the form of Godiva in hla arms and,
though the maiden struggled valiantly
against the king’s advances, his majes-
ty again and again pressed burning
kisses upon the blood-red lips of
Godiva.
The lover lives not, then nor now,
who Inactively can behold such dese-
cration of his lady-love. Paulo dashed
forward and seized the king by the
throat and felled him to the ground. It
was but the natural resource of the
outraged lover who had witnessed the
outraging of his dear love. But Paulo
had struck the sacred person of the
king. And he knew full well that his
act would be deemed a crime and that
now was the moment of the beginning
of his life’s tragedy.
‘Fly, my Paulo!" cried Godiva In
great alarm. "Run away!" she urged.
See, even now the archers come run-
ning to Uke thee. Oh, whet heat thou
done! I would have suffered e thou-
sand struggles with his majesty rather
then that thou shouldst have brought
this calamity upon us. See, the king
la too week to rise. Fly, my Paulo—

"Nay, Oodiva!” protested Paulo. T

manded of any man, most of all of one
to whom thou hast plighted thy troth.
I will remain and Buffer whet punish-
ment is tn sjore."
“For my sake, deer Paulo!" ex-
claimed Godiva. "For my take, fly.
Look! The archera are coming In
full force. Fly—for my sake.”
"For your dear sake, then, Oodiva—
so shall It be."
And Paulo, the huntsman, darted
away, leaping through the forest with
the swiftness of e deer. And the
archers came pellmelllng to the spot
where Oodiva stood transfixed with
fear for the safety of her lover and
where the king was getting upon his
feet.
"After him, varlets,” shouted the
king. "Seise him—or die."

cape hla pursuers.
Paulo, meantime, la flight throagh
the toreet, saw that. deep«te his fleet-
aeea of foot, hla pursuers were galm
lng on him. He halted sad took skel-
ter behind a tree. And a moment later
ea arrow from his croesbow sped
forth and found Its victim—piercing
the heart of the foremost archer. Agate
Paulo shot a bolt from hla how. and
again the abaft brought an archer to
the ground writhing In the death
agony. Panto then turned to flea Bat
la an nperopping root of the tree, his
foot caught. He stumbled end felt
And. before he could rtsa the archera
were upon him.
Whet e fight then took piece! Panto
fought like one suddenly demonised,
fighting tor his Ilfs, lighting tor hie
happiness, lighting for love of Oodiva
But whet could one lone huntsmen do
with tally twenty archera surrounding
him? That he wee overpowered and
hla heads tied behind him waa no fault
of Paulo's. Overwhelming numbers
atone had made e captive of Oodlvn's
lover.
Then heck they led him to the eob
tags of Rlvarre, where the king awaltr
ed their coming. At sight of Panla
helpless and bound, in the hands of
the archers, Oodiva cried out In dis-
tress so pitiable that any heart save
a kingly one of stone would have been
moved.
But the king wanted Oodiva for hla
own. And he was sufficiently gifted
with perspicacity to know that Paulo,
his captive, was nothing less to Oodiva
than her heart’s love. The king wished
himself to win the heart of this
maiden. And to do so he must rid his
kingdom of the handsome huntsman
whom Godiva had already learned to
love. So with his heart of stone
prompting his words, he now an-
nounced to the Assembled company:
"The law Is even greater than the
king. The law sayi that whoso strikes
the king must die. Paulo, the hunts-
man has struck the king. He must
die.”

“The German’s Indifference to

unpardonable offense."
In Austria it Is birth alone that con- ‘

in the world where social caste is so

Rlvarre bowed low to the exalted
presence on the horse, and then called
to those within the house the order for
the ustlk. Paulo, too. bowed low. For
both shepherd and huntsman had heard
