"I want not that recompense, lor. I want nothing you hare to sir. Little shall you think of tie debt, or think that in helping yon. t repaid yon tor your hospitality, your" Her toIcc broke nt the memory of that time passed orvr her llk hitler water, and sho was obliged to stand Heat before him. steadying her Hp with her teeth, nnttl the waters had fallen. "It was the Kin who aent for you. that lie might know whether I had spoken the truth concerning my dis guise " she said when at last her voice returned. "Now, by cumins, you have helped me against his an Ber. lot that sottlo alt debt between us. I thank you much nnd and I bid jou farewell." Again Elfglva's school ing came to her mind and sho sway ed before him In a courtesy. She did not know that her cheeks were as white as her kerchief, that her eyes were dark wells of unshed tears. Sho knew only that at last ho was bowing, he was turning. In a moment more he would be gone Hut just short of that point he stopped, and all motion around her appeared to stop, as a noise down the corridor ulottet! out every sound in the garden. the noise of a great body of peoplo rousing tho echoes with Jubilant shouting. "The King! The King'" could bo heard again and again, and after It a burM. of deafening enters that drowned the rest. Listening, everyone stood motion less as the babel came nearer with a swiftness which spoko much for the speed of the shunters. Only Kanda lln's little red shoe began to tap the earth Impatiently. What did It mat ter what they said? "Hall to Canute of Denmark!" "Hall to the King of the Danes and " Again cheers drowned the rest. The pages, who had sped at the first alarm like a covey of gray birds, came panting back, tumbling orer one another in their efforts to Impart the news. Elfglva caught the nearest and piiook 111 in until his teeth chattered; end In the lull, the swelling shout reached them for the first time un broken: "Honor to the King! Hall to tho King of the Danes and the Angles!" From the Lord of Ivarsdalo came a cry, sharp na though a heart-string had snapped In Its utterance, the tie that for generations had bound those "Youl" he said. "What of his blood to the hotiso of Ccrdlc. "Edmund?" Tho mob of soldiers and servants that burst through tho doorway an swered his question with exultant shouts: "Edmund Is dond! Edmund is dead! Long live Canute tho King! King of tho Dimes and tho Angles!" Unbidden, memory raised beforo Hnndalin a plcturo of tho English camp-fire In the glade, with the Eng lish King standing In Its light and tho hooded figure bending from tho bhadow behind him, Its white tnloncd linud resting on his sleeve. If he was dead, bo was dead, and there was no moro to bo said. Was tho Ethollne always going to stand as though ho woro turned to btone? Would ho never Ah, at last he was moving! As lr the news had only Just reached home to him, she saw him draw hlmsolf together sharply and stride toward tho door; nnd 8o watched feverishly to soo If anyone would think to stop him. One group ho passed and an othor and another now ho was on tho threshold. Now he was out of sight. Sho let her ujpended )roaln E from her In ajUnun-s.lgh. "It Is good that everyone isitoo molted to notice whut I do," slio'aUl to herself. And even as uho mild It she realized that her limbs were shaking under her that sho was slclc. unto falntness. Staggering to a little bench under one of tho old oaks, she sank down upon It and leaned her head against tho tree trunk and waited. CHAPTER XX. A Blood-stained Crown. "Tata!" That was the pet name which Klfglva had given to her Dan ish attendant because It signified "tho lively one." "Tata! I have looked everywhere for you!" Tho pat of light feot, a swish of silken skirts, and Dearwyn had thrown herself up on tho bench under the oak tree, her little dimpled face radiant. Only think that Klfglva will be a queen and wo shall all go to I-ondon!" As the only adequate means of expression, sho threw her arms around her friend in a rapturous embrace. "What Is the matter with you that you are so silent as to your tongue, when you must needs be shouting in your heart?" Disengaging herself gently, she climbed upon tho bench as she chattered. "The messenger King Canute Danish Conquest. C lf. l.'-I tX had a leather bag around his neek which I think likely ocaUlna Ed mund's crown and Ah. Tata, look! look' ThorM Is holding It up!" Tea, It ajr Kdmund's crown. Again, a picture of the Kagiish camp-nro rose before her. and she rhlrered as febc I recognized tho graceful pearled points I she bad last Men upon the Ironside's stately head. New Thorkel was set ting them above the Danish circlet on Canute's shining locks, while the shouts merged Into a roar of accla mation. "Hut why does he look io strange"' Randatic said suddenly. And Dearwyn laid a finger on her lip. "Hush! At last he is going tq speak " Canute was bending toward the mescnger, holding him with his glance. "Tell more uews. messen ger," he was saying sternly. "Tell about the cause of tny royal brother's death." The messenger seemed to lose what lit'.lo breath his ride on the shoulders of the crowd had Mt him, "My er rand extends no further," ho panted. "It Is likely that the Karl will send you more news I am but the first " His breath gave out In an Inarticulate gasp, and he began to back away. Hut the King moved after him. "Stop" he commanded, "or It may bo that I will cause you to remain quiet for the rest of time. You must know what separated his life from his body. Tell It." Stammering with terror, the man fell upon his knees. "Dispenser of treasures, how should I know? The babblings of the Ignorant durst not be repeated. Many say that the Ironside was worn sick with fighting." "You He!" Canute roared down up on him. "You know they say that Edrlc murdered him." At that, the poor fool seemed to cast to the winds his last shred of sense. "They do say that the Karl poisoned him,' ho blubbered. "Hut none say that you bade him to do It. No one dares to say that." "How could they nay that?" Randa Hn cried In amazement, while the King drew back as though tho grov elling figure nt his feet were a dog that had bitten him. "I bid him do It?" ho repeated. All at once his face was so terrible that tho man began to crawl backward, screaming, even before Canute's haud had reached his hilt. Ueforo the blado could bo drawn. do you believe?" Rothgnr had stepped In front of his royal foster-brother with a savage sweop of his haudless arm. "Do not wasto your point on the churl, King," ho snld Li his bull's voice. "If -.on want to play this gnme further, deal with me, for I also bellevo that jou budo tho Gainer murder Edmund." As though paralyzed by his amaze ment, Canute's arm dropped by his side, "You also believo It?" Llttlo Dearwyn hid her faco on 'the Danish girl's breast. "Oh, Randalln, would ho do such a deed?" she gasped. "Tho while that ho seemed so kind and goutlo with us. Would he do such horrid wickedness?" "No!" Hnmlsiin cried passonlately. "No!" Hut even as she cried It, Thorkel the Tall dared to lean forward and givo the royal shoulder a rallying slap. "Amloth himself neer plnyod u game better," he said; "but Is It worth while to continue at it when no Englishmen are watohlng?" And his words seem od to opon a door against which the ofliors wore crowding. "King Cnntite, I willingly admit my self tho blockhead you called me." I'lf Jarl hastened to declare In his good natwr'ed mar! "When I saw you tnko your point away fi-om Edmund's breast, that day, my heart got nfrald that you were obliged to do It to biivo yourself. Even after I heard how you hudiude a bargain to Inherit after each other I novux suspected what Kind of a plan was In your mind." Standing In silent listening. Canute's gaze traveled from faco to face until It came to the iot whero ElfgUa flut tered among her women, holding her cxqulslto head as If It already wore a crown. An odd gleam flickered over his eyes, and he inado n step toward her. "You!" ho said. "What do you believe?" Pealing her silvery laughter, she turned toward him, her eyes peeping at him like bright birds from under tho eaves of her hood. "Lord, l be llevo that I am afraid of you!' she coquetted. "When I bethink me that all tho time I have been chiding you for being unambitious for glory, yon havo had this In your mind!" Laugh ing, she stooped and kissed his hand with tho first i-emblance of respect which sho had ever shown him. His faco was curiously still as he regarded the beautiful Klfglra, and stilly curious, as though he were ex amining some familiar object In a st l - Ill .! ! f-Skt I f'',-A- weied l.ralds 1 't 6, li' din.

"What nttfjfuta I know about such matters? HavB you not told m many limes nnd oft, that It behooves a woman to shun meddling with great affairs?" He gae a short laugh. "And when were you eter before content to fol low that advice?" letting the braid slip from Ills fingers, he stood looking her np and doAn, his lips curling with scorn Hnndalin spoko abruptly to her com panion. "Dearwyn, 1 can toll you something. Klfglva will never got tho quecnshlp over England.' "What moves you to kay that?" tho little English g.rl asked her, startled. Hut Kanilalin'it ntttntlon had gone bnck to the King, who had turned whero the son of I,odbrok waited re garding him over sternly-folded arms. "Hrother," he was saying gravely, "your opinion Is powerful with me, so I will openly tell you that you are wrong In y ur belief. Never have I bo much as h uted to yonder pcace nithing a word of harm against Ed mund Ironside." From Thorkcl the Tall came one of his rare laugh a Found like tho grating of a Misty hinge. Hothgar unfolded his ni.us to fling them out In angry reject on. "This Is useful to learn!" he sneer ed. "Do you tl ink I could not guess that you had no need to put your desire Into words alter you had shown Edrlc by your actions that your mind and his are one. after you had ad mitted by your bond with him that you hold the saius curious belief about honor?" This tine It was Randalln who clutched the Er.-lish girl. "Oh!" she gasped. For Canute's eyes were less like eyes than hole1' through which light was pouring, whilo his fingers opened and shut as though he had forgotten his sword and 'vould leap upon tho scoffer with bare hands. Thorkel left off laughing to grasp the Jotun's arm and try to drag him backwards. "Do you want to drive It from his mind tuat he has loved you? Co hldo yourself In Fenrlr's mouth!" (To he continued.) SWEET PEAS KILL FLIES. Druggist Makec a Discovery of Value to the World. A local druggist has found a new agent for the destruction of files that ror activity and effectiveness discounts anything heretofore offered for that purpose. And not only is It harmless, but it I.i a thing of beauty as well. After filing annually thousands of sheets if fly paper ot the sticky and poisoned varieties and a ton moro or less of Insect powder, the new anti dote for the pest bids fair to super sede all previous methods with him and tho- of his friends who are In on the seen t. For st-vsral days tho druggist, who Is a lovr et flowers, has had upon his front cases bunches of sweet peas of a var'ity grown originally In Cali fornia n:td but recently cultivated In this sec Ion of tho. country. Each morning after opening up the store ho has font d collected around the base of tho vir-ai containing the peas quite an nccun illation of dead flics. For the first day or ho ho regarded the mas of defunct dipterous insects as an incidental gathering In the nelghboi ood of tho fiowers, but curi osity prompted him later to watch tho conduct of the few files left In the btorc. It was observed when the penr wero freshly picked that Immediately after their being placed In the vases those file In the vicinity swarmed upon the petals and proceeded to faster themselves there. Shortly nft erward they fell from their positions, dend. it It. presumed that tho odor of the peas attracted them first and that aft erward they absorbed some poibonous exudation that the fiowers possess and died in consequence. So far ns known the peas possess no toxic effect upon tho human being. Springfield Journal. Fought With Walker. In tho Soldiers' homo at Qulncy, III., Is nn old man who as a boy had a thrilling career. Ho Is Charles H. Klrk, who nt tho ago of 14 years went to NlcarauRua with tho Walker expe dition. With several othor boys of Sacramento, Cal., Klrk joined tho ox peditluu in 185C. They landed at San Juan, drew guns, and then started on a long march Inland to meet Walker. They almost perished for lack of watnr. They soon camo upon a ranch whera Walker bad engaged In a. fight two days previously. Doad bodies stiewed tho ground. Tho boys killed mules for rations for ten days. The Sacramento hoy christened their com pany tho "Red Stnr guards," and pinned red stars on their hats. For a long time they lived on green ba nanas and b'opt In adobe houses. This company attacked St. George, lost sev eral of Its members, and then re treated. At another place Walker lost twenty-onu men and he killed and wounded seventy. Ho later went to Sau Juan and surrendered. Dr. Hlllls Has Fruit Ranch. Dr, Hlllls, pastor of Plymouth church.

Philadelphia Ledger. THE WEST LENDING MONEY. It has not been very many years since the great and growing West was largely dependent on the money cen ters of the far East for the greater part of the money needed in all lines of business. Funds required for about everything from crop moving to coun ty courthouse had to be secured from Wall street or some of Its adjacent branches and the charges for this money In the aggregate made quite a drain on our traffic profits. This dependence on the East had a tenden cy to belittle the Importance of the West In the eyes of the Manhattan money kings and the possibility of a release from this commercial bond age to them received but scant con sideration. It Is now being forced upon them with unmistakable clear ness. Not only has the West devel oped a financial power that renders her almost wholly Independent of the East, but western capital Is actually Invading the domain of Wall street and picking up financial bargains which, by virtue of years of monop oly, that great money power had come to regard as exclusively Its own. Portland Oregonian. NO PLACE FOR SHIRKER. Then it bluntly follows that there Is no religion at all In shirk and no salvation for tho shirker. There must be a new vision of honest labor, as the hopefulest sign ot manhood, To cut down our work to a minimum Is tho new sin of the twentieth century. To hinder a man or a woman from earning daily bread violates not so much civil law, as tho Golden Ru.le. Wo havo got a huge He imbedded In our modern view of labor. It Is some thing to be avoided, something to be legislated out as far as possible. Tho new religion will demand more work rather than lohs, but a fair division of Its obligations and afterward Jus tice In distribution. The sooner wo turn our faces nway from the dogmas of mediaeval pietism and the crotchets of formalism the better for us. Church Register. HOW TO STAY YOUNG. How old are you? The adage says that women are as old as they look and men as old as they feel. That's wrong. A man and woman aro as old as they take themselves to be. Growing old Is largely a habit of the mind. "As a man thlnkelh In bis heart so Is he." If he begins shortly after middlo age to Imagine himself growing old ho will bo old. To keep one's self from decrcpltudo Is somewhat a matter of will power. The fates aro kind to the man who hangs on to life with both hands. He who lets go will go. Death la slow only to tackle tho tenacious. Ponce do Leon searched In the wrong place for the fountain pf youth. It Is In one's self. One must keep one's self young Inside. So that while "tho outer man perlsheth the Inner man Is renewed day by day." When the human mind ceases to ox ert Itself, when thoro Is no longer nn nctlvo Interest In the affairs of this life, when tho human stops leading nnd thinking nnd doing, the man, like a blasted tree, begins to dlo at the top. You nre as old as you think you are. Keep tho harness on. Your Job is not done. Milwaukee Journal. VIRTUE IN THE WORK CURE. The .men and women, who do not regard their work ns drudgery and who realize, with Carlyle, that the in dividual who does not work Is In some sense either a beggar or a thief, uerer lay any little ills they may have to their work, until they aro sure that their habits ot living and eating aro In accordance with the simple rules ot health. Physically, mentally, morally, work is a saving grace. Shirking Is a sin against the sinner and willingness to do one's share Is half the burden lifted. The "work cure" ahould fill a long felt want. Duluth News Tribune. CLASS-MAKING. Despite frequent assertion, thero are as niuuy opportunities for the In dustriouit as ever. The trouble Is with tho new and bogus standard by which human endeavor and Its results are weighed. The tendency of this is to make two classes, tho very rich and tho very poor, the elements between leaping or falling into cue or the Other according to the pressure of circnasstances.

Indianapolis News. WHY NOT ENDOW MEN? We venture to assert that If our men of great wealth and philanthropic motives who have lately been giving so generously and largely ot their ac cumulations to the endowment of col leges, hospitals, libraries and other worthy objects and Institutions should turn some part of this volume of be neficence into the endowment of men, they might be contributing even more largely In some Instances to tho prog ress of the world and the happiness and well-being of their fellows. We mean by this the selection of men of character, experience and proved abil ity and their assignment to some line of needed educational, charitable or reform work, with a fair and Just sal ary allowance guaranteed for a rea sonable number of years, If not for life. Leslie's Weekly. UNPROFITABLE HOARDING. Money hoarded means Interest lost. The old stocking is as undesirable for the keeping ot money as the unsound bnnk. This is a financial turlsm. It Is equally true of goods and chat tels. The gown of winter before last, stored in a capacious attic, gathers moths, but loses its rightful interest the comfort and ease which It might bring to some poor woman. Tho worn overcoat, kept by its owner "In cose of need," fails qf Its proper ser vice In the actual "case of need" of tho half-clothed laboring man out of work through illness. So of the cast-off clothes of tho mind 'discarded magazines and books. Tho Increasing piles of these waste Interest on tho top shelves ot the well-filled library', whilo the active minds ot men, women nnd children less well supplied hunger for the food of tho printed page, until ungrntlflcd deslro dies, and they sink to the level of the unreadlng mass. Whatever has servico In It should bo passed on promptly from hand to hand until that power of servico Is exhausted. The rubbish heap Is more credltabjo than an unused accumula tion of useful things. Hoarding is bad economy In every department of life. Losing Interest on savings is foolish Improvidence, whether the in terest Js reckoned In dollars and cents or In gratitude, relief and com fort. Youth's Companion. BEAUTY ON THE DOWN GRADE. A warning note Is struck by a lady, who has both medical and literary skill, against the reckless disregard of those laws which mako for beauty. Wo English are growing plainer, sho avers, simply because wo allow even our children to bo affected by tho stress and strain of modern life. Tho smartness, the ability to look after themselves and tho athleticism of tho women nnd children ot tlie present tlmo spell physical ruin. Reality Is rarely seen nowadays in Its unadorned style. lively women aro artificial products, and really lovely children arc ns scarce as auks' eggs. The rea son is that our expressions havo grown anxious, eager, cold, our limbs and members nro strained out of shape by overexerclse, our complex ions and hair aro starved for lack of nerve force. Tho cxqulslto complex ions, luxuriant locks, dellcato features and clear, innocent-lookiug eyes that ono associates with beauty aro ho sel dom seen as to bo qulto romarkablo when they arc, and wo nre threatened with n still further decrease of these elements of good looks unless wo bring back our girls to tho prunos and pribms stylo of upbringing, which perhaps after all is the best for them. The "larger life" certainly has Its drawbacks. London World. BLONDES MUST GIVE WAY. The extinguishment of tho blondo Is decreed or predicted by one Mri'On, a professor attached to tho Smithso nian institution of Washington. He says that blondes have lower vitality than brunettes and that light com plexions, yellow hair and bluo eyes, Instead ot being admired, should be deplored as evidences that the pos sessors are not up to the physical standards required for the successful preservation ot the race. He thinks that blondes, being possessed ot less vital force than brunettes, will grad ually cease to reproduce their own type and hence. In about 600 years, he says, we will all be dark shinned, with black hair and snapping, 'saucy eyes, Heavens, what a somber lot wo will all be and bow monotonous. Still with 600 years ot the blonde ahead we may contemplate tho prospect with philosophy, it not with cheerfulness. Hrooklyn Eagle.

' Sprinkling Every Day Not the Best" Vay to Get Results. Improper watering is often tho cause of failure with plants. Tho.. usual plan Is to sprinkle a suifttl quan tity of water daily In each jtot cod taining a plant. If those who wator plants In this manner, as most b ginners do. could see the florist water hi plants thoy might fear the plants were being drowned, but they would lc&rn a lesson in plant culture that would be of much benefit. The florist waters his plants (with ttiw exceptions) either daily, every other day or twice a week, according, to the weather, and when tho water ing is done the soil nbout tho plant Is. completely saturated. The pot beliiR well provided nt the bottom with, dralnase materiat usually broken pieces of pots the surplus water passes off, yet the soil is to wet that the roots can absorb from It all tho moisture required for the best devel opment of top growth. One watering of this kind a week w 111 do vastly more good to the plauts. than tho daily sprinkling so generally practiced. How the Frenchman Read His Book.. "A curious way to read a book was. what I saw the other day coming up from New Orleans," said J. T. Simp--son of Chicago. "It was In a Pull man sleeping car. and we had a pret ty good crowd of northbound tourists. Among them was a queer looking Frenchman; at least I judged he was such. On his seat I noticed a dozen paper back novels. Shortly after breakfast he began reading one of tlieso at the open window by his. seat. As boon ns ho finished a pago he loro it off neatly and threw It out tho window. The books wero all la French, and before wo got to Atlanta, ho had read three and scattered tho Fronch printed pages for hundreds ot miles." Atlanta Constotution. Cure to Stay Cured.. Wapello, Iowa, Oct. 10 (Special)- One of the most remarkable cures; ever recorded In Louisa County Is. that of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place Mrs. Hart was In bet for eight months and. when she was able to sit up sbo was all drawn up on one s!do and -could not wall: across the room.

Speak ing of her cure Mrs. Hart-says: "Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me atier 1 was In bed for eight months, and I know the cure was complete ' for that was three years ago and I havo not been down since. In four weeks from the time I started taking: them I was able to mako my garden. Nobody can know how thankful I am. to bo cured or how much I feel I owe fo Dodd's Kidney Pills."
