In wildest terror sho lied before her

did not stop until the two soldlerr
who had been mndo keepers of the

Stopping where sho was Klfglvn

Thorkcl took the words from his
lips nnd no longer with sinister de-
liberation but with a ferocity thnt
showed Itself In tho gathering swift-
ness of his speech. "Trouble yes!

WhntI Are tho plans of men to bo

"Poison?" sho screamed. She had
been facing him with whitening lips
nnd now tho llttlo breath thnt sho hod

"Not poison; lovo-phlltres! To win

not hear?"
"Lovo-phlltres!" Tho old warrior's
volco mndo tho words blto with con-
tempt. "Did tho mouthful sho swal-

Ho wns standing over hor now. and
sho wns cowering beforo him her
shaking hands rising ns though to
wnrd off his eyes. "1 meant no

"Tho Bcroll said not a word that It
was hurtful. Do not kill me. I meant

tlculato sound and sho swayed back-
ward. Tho Ethollng turned fiercely to the
Jarl "For God's sake tell hor that
no ono suspects her of Becking his
life and givo her his true message
or I will go and hang myself for
loathing."
"Tell her yourself!" the old Dane
snapped. "It Is seen that you nro as
rabbit-hearted as tho boy who makes
her such an offer. Were 1 In his place
I would havo them all drowned for a
litter of wauling kittens."
Tho young soldier having braved
tho outburst of hysterics that re-
doubled at his approach managed to
sill) a soothing word into tho lull.
"It is true noblo one that for state
rensouB tho King has consented to
this union with Emma of Normandy
who will bring lilm tho friendship of
Duko Richard besides causing plons-
uro to tho English. Rut tho crowu of
Denmark is also at his disposal lady

love. And it Is his will nnd pleasure
thnt you accompany tho boy across
tho sea and together villi the earls
of his guardianship hold the power
tor him until his hinds shall bo big
inough to grasp It alone. For this he
lives you tho name of 'queen' and all
the honor you shall desire."
It was as though a rainbow had
e n set In hor showery eyes "He
purposes this?" sho murmured: and
rose out of her sent In a kind ot
tcstnsy then caught at Its back
Rooming with doubt "I cannot bellovo

"I swear It" he sajd gravely but his

'gscd her repeatedly. "Think mouso

'Ulf Jnrl will feed your ears later"
Thorkcl said gruffly. "You will leave

The shaft fell pointless as sho
turned her sparkling feo towara hor
women. "You hear that my lambs?

vanished Into the house.

The question was repeated In her

PROBLEM OF OLD AGE.
Question for Political Economists tc

What tho country shall do with Its

problem its what It shall do with its
old men.
According to the now gospel of bus-
iness economics a man Is "old" nt
fifty. Thnt is t. say. he can no long-
er remain nn Integral part of tho
industrial machine.
Young men are in demand every-
where. Old men nre In demand no-
where. Tho commercialism or the
ago feed' upon joung blood and re-
jects everything else.
Most of tho lallrcai'a have placed
an age limit upon their pay roll ac-
I count ll Is a tacit rule that no nun
over forty-five years of ago shall be
employe i. even nt clerical work.
Ono or the great steel companies of
tho coin-try employing thousands of
men recently adopted a rulo that in
certain d partments requiring expert
knowiedo nnd skill no man over thlr-ty-flvo

LICORICE WOOD A ROOT.
The Foundation of a Very Pretty and
Dainty Plant.
Pretty nearly $2000000 worth of

every year from tho lands bordering
on the Mediterranean. Most peoplo
think that licorice is made from' tho
wooden twigs and branches of a treo.
But In reality tho licorice wood is the
root of a very pretty dainty pient
which has beautifully shaped leaves
that aro colored bright 'green on ono
side and palo sliver green on the oth-
er. Tho licorice plant Is a perennial
nnd in England where they nro trying
to mnko an industry of raising it tho
experimenters plant It In rows be-
tween cabbages and potatoes. In the
Mediterranean nnd oricntnl countries
great plantations aro given up to it al-
together. Tho llcorlco plant throws
out immensely fleshy roots full of
julco when they are fresh. They
spread nnd burrow far into tho earth
nnd n good big holo has to oo dug t-
got them out. Tho llcorlco wood ns

half tho original weight and size of

AUTHOR'S DAUGHTER ON STAGE.
Ethel Bret Harte Forced to Earn Liv-
ing In Concerts.
Miss Ethel Bret Harte tho daughter
of the famous writer of early Califor-
nia life has decided to devote herself
to concert work. Although Bret Harte
made largo pioflts from his -writings
and won a success which seldom
comes to a writer as early nn it did
to him ho left his fnmily In very
straitened circumstances and if It
were not for the many stanch friends
In the Amerjcan colony in London
Mrs. Bret Harto would often find it
dllilcult to make both ends meet.
With her children she 'has made her
homo in Bayswater over since Bret
Harte's death. The family difficulties
have been complicated by threatened
loss ot sight of ono of tho tons nnd
ho hns been sent to Switzerland In
tho hopo that a renowned oculist may
perform a successful operation.
Miss Bret Harto has had n long up-
hill struggle in her work. Slio served
a stago apprenticeship with Georgo
Edwards and D'Oyly Carte. Sho has
a soprano voice of excellent range and
sympathetic quality and her one de-
sire Is to bring it to greater perfec-
tion. Her capacity for work seems
ondlisB nnd her love of music Is na
much of an incentive ns tho money
which tho hopes to bring Into the fam-
ily purse. It is extremely difficult to
cot a hearing on tho concert stage In
London where only tho well-known
artists nro invited to sing but through
the Influence -of the friends of tho
American nuthor his daughter will
have every opportunity to make the
success which her friends anticipate.
Not Too Young.
One of the younger members or n
down town club was solicitously In-
quiring the other day what steps he
fchotild take In order to put up his in-
fant son for membership says the Chi-
cago Inter Ocean.
"Aren't you rather premature?" ono
of his friends observed. "You say he's
only a year old."
"Yes bo's young yet" wns the an-
sw;er "but that's about tho-only time
to'get him Into n club nowadays. He's
too young to havo made any enemies
or to attract any attention to himself
Anybody's likely to bo kept out of a
club nccordlng to n story I heard tho
other day. A man who was objected
to could not for tho lifo of hlra find
out who had objected and why. After
a great deal of trouble ho discovered
that the objection to hlra came from
a man who had borrowed from him
tho money to pay hla way through
college. After that what chance docs
