REVOLT EXPECTED
CHAPTER XXIV.
Pixie-Led.
So Sebert of Ivarsdale went back
to his tower unhindered; and the rest
of the winter nights, while the winds
of the Wolf Month howled about the
nalisades, he listened undisturbed to
his harper; and the rest of the winter
days he trod In peace the homely rou-
tine of his lordship—In peace and in
•bsent-eyed silence.
Perhaps It was the future that was
engrossing his mind, but sometimes
It came to him dimly as a strange
thing how so small n matter as a slip
of a girl In a page's dress could loom
no large that thero was no corner of
manor or tower but recalled some
trick of her tossing curls, some echo
oi her ringing laughter. Did ho outsit
the maids and men around his hearth
and watch the dying lire with no other
companions than his sleeping dogs,
fancy placed a scarlet cloaked figure
at his feet and raised at his knee a
face of sweetest friendliness, whose
flowerblue eyes brightened or
gloomed In response to his lightest
mood. Whenever this vision rose lie-
fate him, he stirred In his chair and
turned his face from the light.
As the winter wore on. he grew rest-
less In his solitude, restless and sul-
len as the waters of the little stream
In their prison of ice. He told himself
that when the spring camo he would
feel more settled; but when on one
of his morning rides he came upon
the first crocus, lifting Its golden cup
toward the sun, it only gave to his
pointless restlessness a poisoned barb.
Involuntarily his first thought was,
-It would look like a spark of fire In
the dusk of her hair." When he real-
ized what he had said, he planted the
great forefoot of his horse squarely
on the innocent thing and crushed It
back Into the earth; but It had done
its work, for after that he knew that
neither the promise of the springtime
nor the fullness of the harvest would

' self. "Yes! Oh, yes! Here once
more I shall rule my thoughts like a
man." When a page finally came to
summon him, ho follower with buoy-
ant step and so gallant a I wing that
more than one turned to look at him
as he passed.
"Yonder goes the new Marshal," ho
heard one say to another, and gave
the words a fleeting wonder.
The bare stone hall Into which the
boy ushered him was the same room
in which he had had his last audience,
and now as then the King sat In the
great carved chair by the chimney-
piece, but other things were so
changed that Inside tho threshold the
Ethellng checked his swinging stride
to gaze Incredulously. The knots of
men, scattered here and there in buzz-
ing discussion, were all dark-robed
merchants and white-bearded judges,
while around the table under the
window a dozen shaven headed monks
wero working busily with writing
tools. The King himself was no long-
er armored, but weaponless and clad
In velvet
Certainly Edmund had never re-
ceived a greeting with more of formal
dignity than the young Dane did now,
while Edmund could never have spok-
en what followed with this grim di-
rectness which sent every word home
like an arrow to its mark.
"t.ord of Ivarsdale, before I speak
further I think it wise that wo should
mako plain our minds to each other.
Some say that you are apt to be a
hard man to deal with because you
bend to obedience only when the com
mand Is to your liking. I want to
know if this is truo of you?"
Half In surprise, half in embarrass-
ment, the Ethellng colored high, and
his words were some time coming;
but when at last they reached his lips,
they were as frank as Canute's own.
"Lord King." ho made answer, "that

"My lord! know yon whence he got

"You provo a good guesser to know
that it was not his crime," the King
said dryly. "A little while ago, I
found out that ho got it from the
British woman who la nurse to Elf-
glva of Northampton."

bring him any pleasure, since his eyes
must see them alone.
Like a new leaBe of lifo It etfme to
him when the last of the April days
brought the long delayed summons to
the King. The old cniht. who consid-
ered that a command to military serv-
ice could bo justified only by imminent
national destruction, was deeply in-
censed when he learned that the call
was to no more than an offlcersblp in
the new body of Royal Guards, but
the young lord checked him with im-
patience.
"What a throng of many wordc, my
ifriend Moreard. havo you spoken!
iDld you learn naught from the pali-
sade that gave way because churls
paid me their service when and uow
rthey would?" he rtoruanded. "Now
let me inform you that I have got
that lesson by heart, and hereafter
na king shall havo that trouble about
me. At sunrise I ride back with the
messenger." And he maintained this
-view so firmly that his face was rather
«tern as he spent the night settling
matters of plowing and planting and
pasturage with the Indignant old ser-
vitor.
But the next morning, after ho had
set forth and found how every mile
lengthening behind him lightened the
burden of his depression, a kind of joy
rose phoenlx-like out of the gray
ashes of duty.
"If I had continued there, I should
have become feeble in mind," he sild.
"Now, since I have got out of thct
tomb that she haunts. It may be that
I can follow my art more lustily."
And suddenly his sternness melted Into
great warmth, toward the s,-ip-
I shall never be, to crouch at a frown
and caper according to Ills pleasure.
Yet I will say this—that I think men
will find me less unruly than formerly,
for, as I have accepted you for my
chief, so I am willing to render you
obedience in any manner Boever you
think right to demand It. This I am
ready to swear to."
Canute's fist struck his chalrarm
lightly. "Nothing more to my mind
has occurred for a long time, and I
welcome It As to this which I now
offer you, I think few are proud
enough to find fault about It, for I
have called you hither to be a Mar-
shal of the kingdom and to have the
rule over my Guards."
"Marshal!" That then was what the
mutter in the ante-room had meant.
Sebort would not have been young
and a soldier if he had not felt keen
delight tingle through every nerve.
Indeed, his pleasure was so great that
he dared say little In acknowledgment,
lest It betray him into too great cur-
dlalty toward this stern young ruler
who, though iti reality a year younger
than he, seemed to have become many
years his senior. He said shortly, "if
I betray your trust, King Canute, let
me have no favor! Is It your Inten-
tion to have me make ready now
against this Incursion of the Normans,
of which men are "
He did not finish his question, for
the King raised his hand Impatiently.
"It is not likely that swords will
have any part in that matter, Lord
Marshal. There is another task In
I store for you than to fight Normans—
; and It may be that you will think It
beneath your rank, for Instead of the
would not help; while I cannot let the
matter continue, since one thing af-
ter another, worse and worse, would
be caused by It. The only man who
can end It, while keeping quiet, is the
one who has the friendship of the only
woman among them to whose honor I
would risk my life. I mean Randalin,
Frode's daughter."
Whether or not he heard Sebert's
exclamation, he speke on as though it
had not been uttered. "One thing is,
that she knows nothing of a plot; for
did she so, she would have warned me
had it compelled her to swim the
Thames to reach me. But she must be
able to tell many tidings that we wish
to know, with regard to the use they
make of their jewels, and the Danes
who visit them, and such matters,
which might be got from her without
letting her suspect that she Is telling
news. Now you are the one person
who might do this without making any
fuss, and it is my will therefore that
you go to her as soon as you can.
Your excuse shall be that the Abbott
has in bis keeping some law-parc>,-
ments which I have the wish to set,
but while you are there, I want you
to renew your friendship with her and
find out these things for me. By obey-
ing me In this, you will give tho State
help where it is most needed and hard
to get." When that was out, he raised
his head and met the Etheling's eyes
squarely, and it was plain to each of
them that the moment had come
which must, once and forever, decide
their future relations.
It was a long time that the Lord of
Ivarsdale stood there, the pride of his
rank, and the prejudice of his blood,
struggling with his new convictions,
his new loyalty. But at last he took
his eyes from the King's to bow be-
fore him in noble submission.
"This is not the way of fighting
that I am used to, King Canute," he
said, "and I will not deny that I had
rather you had set me any other task,
but neither can I deny that, since yo'l
find you have need of my wits rather
than of my sword. It is with my wits
that it behooves me to serve you. Tell
me clearly what is your command,
and neither haughtiness nor self-will
shall hinder me from fulfilling it."

The sunshine that makes a business
plant grow is advertising.
Growing a business nowadays Is
something like growing an apple-tree.
You may select good seed, plant It in
good soil, water and work with It, but
the tree will not produce fruit until
another and most powerful, energiz-
ing and life-giving element Is brought
to bear. You must have sunshine and
lots of IL Can you expect to ripen
apples in the dark? Can you expect
to grow a profitable business plant
nowadays without the sunshine of pub-
lic favor produced by advertising?
This Postum plant is a good illus-
tration of that law. It seems but a
short time ago when I put a few men
at work In the carriage house of the
barn you havo Been to-day, where we
began making Postum coffee.
The seed then planted, less than 9
years ago, was a new kind of apple
seed and It was not altogether certain
how the people would like the apples.

on that conclusion would be a fatal
mistake, for there are always bright
men on the lookout to steal your ap-
ples. and if you give them the chanee

sure. Right here let us drive a nail,
not a stlngle nail but a forty penny

A Plot Discovered
SOUTH MCALESTER; The re-
quest of Governor McCurtain of the
Choctaw na'.i n for Indlin police to
quell a disturbance raised at Beech
by seventy-five Snake Indians is be-
lieved to be tho result of a p'ot just
discovered by the attorneys for the

the Indians because of tho non-ftil-

TO MAKE GOOD COFEE.
Here Is the Recipe of Veteran New
York Hotel Manager.
"The coffee at any breakfast table,"
says a veteran New York hotel man-
ager, "is one of the most important
elements of a satisfactory meal.
"Coffee should never be decanted.
The pot must be fitted with a cover
that lifts off, and not one which
swings back. It must also have a
cover for the spout. Make your own
filler from a piece of not too fine
white flannel, sewn into a bag ter-
minating in a point, which must be
long enough to reach half-way down
the pot and wide enough to fit snugly
over the top. Have your coffee (two-
thirds Java, one-third Mocha, or any
mixture you prefer) ground as fine as
powder, says Good Housekeeping. It
will require all your blandishment to
get jour grocer to do this, but the
secret of the excellence of this way
of making coffee depends upon the
fineness with which it is ground. Fill
your pot with boiling water to heat it
pour it out, fit on the flannel bag, put
in a heaping teaspoon for each per
son, and 'ore for the pot,' and pour on
one large cup of boiling water for
each spoonful of coffee. The water
must be absolutely boiling and It must
be poured slowly. Let it Btaud sev-
eral minutes on the back of the range;
lift out the bag and send It to the
table. I will not say 'have hot milk.'
For the perfect coffee you must have
thick, sweet, rich cream; put In the
sugar, then the cream, fill up the cup
from the steaming vessel and you
have that 'coffee which makeJ the
politician wise.'"
