' After that night the Ueepset windows of lvaralale Tow.-r looked out upon some grim F Klits. The flrxt nu>rnin? it was asklrmish in the meadow beyond the foot bridge, when the three-score farmer soldiers came loyally to their leader's aid. Though Ken i'red of llazelford marched bravely at the head, they were practically uncaptalned; with any kind of weapon In their hands tiiid no kind of armor over their home spun. What chance had they against sixty picked warriors, led by the fiercest chief ?.f a race of chieftains? They met. and there was a moment of clash and of clangor, a moment of awful commotion; and when the whirling dust clouds settled, the only homespun that was moving was that which was flying, sped by Danish arrows. All the rest of the day the tower windows looked out upon a litter of brown htapn. here and there a white face upturn ed or ;i scarf-end fluttering in the autumn wind. Wild with helpless misery, the Lord of Ivarsdale would have charged the Iler sf rkers with his handful of armed servants If the old cnllit had not restrained him al most by force; when he spent his breath In railing at everything between earth and sky.

"Nay, it is my Judgment that w?s lack ing," Morcard said bitterly. "I was un old dog that could not learn a new trick. I should have seen that the old ways no longer avail. The fault was mine." His wrinkled old face was bo haggard with self-reproach that the Ethellng hastily re canted. "Now I bethink me, I am wrong, and It is no one's fault. It comes of the curpe that lies over the island. Was there not something rotten In all English palisades it would never have happened that the pirates got their first foothold. But we have shaken off the spell, and they have not mastered us yet. Tonight we will try to get a messenger out to my kinsman in Yorkshire, and another to my father s friend in Essex." The next day, and for many days there after, the tower windows stared out like expectant eyes. But no delivering bands ever came over the hills to reward their watching. From the moment that he was swallowed by the outer darkness, the mes senger for Yorkshire was as lost to their sight and their knowledge as though he had plunged into the ocean. And a week later, the man who had been sent into Essex crept back with a dejection that foretold his ill-success. The ealdorman was taxed, might and main, to protect his own lands. He regretted it, to his innermost vitals, but these were days when each must stand or fall for himself. He couid only send his sympathy and the counsel to hold out unflinchingly ln the hope that some fortune of war would call the be siegers away. When he heard that. Father Ingulph for got his robes to indulge ln a curse. "Does ha think w* hm possession of the widow's EDUCATIONAL. 1* WASHINGTON. A MODERN BUSINESS TRAINING SCHOOL.

If the lanler had not been stocked fur a week's feasting-, we trust needs have been starved under ere this. How much longer can we endure, even at one meal a day?" He sighed as he drew his belt In another notch. When the beginning of the Wine Month came, the bitterest sight that the tower windows gave out upon was the band of foragers that every morning went forth from the Danish camp fires. Every noon they returned, amid a taunting racket, with armfuls of alesklns, back-loads ot salted meats, and bags bulging with the bread which they had forced the terrorized farm-women into baking for them. "They have the ingenuity of fiends!" Father In gulph was wont to groan after each of these spectacles. At last the time arrived when It looked as though these visions were to be the only glimpses of food vouchsafed to them. "Bread for one more meal; and the last ale-cask has been broached," the steward answered in a very faint voice when Mor card put the nightly question. Because It was not possible for the old man's face to record more misery, the light of the guard-room fire over which he crouched showed no change whatever In his expression. It was the young lord, who sat beside him. that answered. After a pause he said gently, "Go and try to get some sleep. At least you can dream of food." "I have done no otherwise for a sen night," the man sighed as he hurried away to snatch the tongs from a serf who was speuding an unnecessary fagot upon the fire. At any other time he would have shouted at him. but It was little loud talk ing that was done within the walls these days. When they were left alone, the old cniht threw himself back upon the bench and covered his face with his mantle. "I have outlived my usefulness," he moaned. "1 have lived to bring ruin on the house that has sheltered me. What guilt I lie under!" For a time he lay as stark and rigid under his cloak as though death had already closed about him. The guard-room seemed to become a funeral chamber, with a mass of hovering shadows for a pall. The lire held up funeral tapers of flickering flame, and the whispers of the starving men who warmed themselves In Its heat broke the silence as dismally as the voices of mourn ers. But the Lord of Ivarsdale said steadily, "Not so. good friend; and It hurts my pride sorely that you should speak as If 1 were still of no Importance In my father's house. That which I call myself lord of it behooved me to rule over. If ever I get out of this?" checking himself, he rose to his feet. "The smoke makes my wits heavy. Methinks I will go up into the air a while." He took a step toward the door but halted when the red-cloaked page, who had been stretched near him on the bench started up as though preparing to accom pany him. "Stay where you are, lad.

At this meeting the plans and designs al ready submitted will be viewed and dis cussed. It is improbable, however, that any decision will be reached at the meeting. A considerable number of artists, sculp tors and architects in letters to the asso ciation have expressed a desire to submit plans, but complain that the time is too short, and suggest an extension. It is be lieved at the local oftice that an extension will be given. Mrs. J. A. Martin was killed in a driving accident in Garrett county. Md. I go up to the platform because I would rather walk than rest; but do you remain here by the fire and try to catch a drowsi ness from its heat." i Hut the page advanced with the old will- I ful shake of his curly head. "I also would | rather walk, if you please." As he looked at him, compassion camc , into the Etheling's face. The liollowness of their sockets made the boy's large eyes | look larger, and his fever-flush trebled their brightness. Sebert said, with a poor at tempt at a smile, "Little did I think fruit my hospitality would ever produce such a guest. Poor youngling! You would bet ter have crept out to your countrymen, as I bade you." Again the dark head shook obstinately, i "Rather would I starve with you than feast with them. I go not out till you go.' Something seemed to come into the young man's throat as he was about to speak, for he swallowed hard and Was silent. Putting an arm around the slender figure, he drew It to his side; and so they left the room ana began to climb the stairs. As soon as the curtain fell at their neels a stifling mustiness came to their nostrils, and a chill that was like the flat of a knife blade pressed against their cheeks. drew breath thankfully when they had come up into the sweet freshness of the night air. Flashing on the weapons of the pacing sentinels, a glory of silver moon light lay like a visible silence over the Para pets. In the darkness below, a sea of for est trees was murmuring and splashing at the passing of a wind. Yet deeper down in the dark glowed the fires of the Danlsn camp?red eyes of the dragon that would rise ere long and crush them under his iron claws. After they had twice made the round, without speaking, the page said gravely: 1 heard what Brithwald told you about the bread, lord. What will overtake us when that is gone? Shall we charge them, so that we may die fighting?" When the Kthellng did not answer immediately, his companion looked up at him with loving reproach. "You forget that you m-ed conceal nothing from me. dear lord. 1 am not as those clowns below. You have even said that you found pleasure in telling me your mind. Sebert's hand was lifted from the red cloak to touch the thin cheek caressingly. "I should be extreme ungrateful were I to say less, dear lad. There Is a man's courage in your boy's body, and I think a woman could not be more faithful in her How! Are you cold that-you shiver so. Pull the corner of my cloak about you. But the page cast it att impatiently. "No, no, it is nothing; no mpre than that one or those men out there fcrtay have walked across the spot that Is to be my grave. Sooner would I bite my tongue oft than In terrupt you. I ask you not to let It hinder your speech." ? - Again a kind of affectionate pity came into the young noble's face. "Does it mean so much to you to hear that you have been faithful In your servicer' ... _ . "It means?so much to me! the boy re peated softly; and If the man a ear had not been far afield, h? might have <U GEM. CROZIER'S REPORT SATISFACTORY TESTS OF THE NEW MAGAZINE RIFLES. Successful Experiments With the Six teen-Inch Gun?Defense of Insular Possessions?Pieces Issued. Brig. Gen. William f'rozier, chief of ord nance, has submitted his annual report to the chief of staff. It is a complete resume of the work of his bureau during the past year and deals minutely with many expe-i ments conducted along the lines of improv ing the military armament. On the sub ject of the new United States magazine rifle General Crozier states that the re sults obtained from the few which were made by hand were so satisfactory as to secure the approval of the Secretary for the adoption of this pattern. The reduc tion in length of the barrel from thirty to twenty-four inches. General Crozier states, met with unanimous approval in all arm.', of the service. The general design and bal listic qualities of this rifle, the report says, are markedly superior to those of the p-es ent service arm. General Crozier speaks of the experiments with automatic muskets, and says that no musket of satisfacto y mechanical action has yet been presented. Nor does lie think that the experiments with automatic pistols warrant the aban donment of the present service revolver for any of the types tried. The Sixteen-Inch Gun. Experiments conducted with the slxteen inch gun called for in the report of the fortiflcatfons board in 18S5 were attended with entire success, the report says. At the fourth round, with a charge of G-10 pounds of a special smokeless powder and a 2.400-pound projectile, a velocity of 2..'!17 feet a second, with a pressure of SO.TOO pounds a square inch, was attained. "That the design and construction of such a huge weapon," General Crozie- says, "should lie successfully accomplished with out a mishap of any kind, and 'hat the cnl culated ballistic results should be so ac curately verified, are subjects of congratu lation. "He adds that the use of smokeless pow der in such large charges "was beyond the experience of the world." and the demon stration that it would, when so used, fol low the same law of burning as with charges of the size previously employed is a service to the art of the construction of ordnance. Whether this gun will lie repro duced for use in seacoast fortifications. General Crozier .states, is a matter still to lie determined, but he says it is satisfac tory to know from the results of actual trial that In considering at any time 'he desirability of employing guns of greater power than those of the twelve-Inch cali ber now constituting our most powerful weapons the subject need not be compli cated by the question of practicability. The heavy armament of the seacoast de fenses Gen. Crozier reports in a very satis factory state of advancement, but he says that the practice which produces skill in the use of the armament has now an impor tance greater than that of new Installation. Defense of Insular Possessions. General Crozier dwells on the importance of proper defense of our insular possessions. He says: "It may be, and probably Is, true that permanent possession of the islands could not be maintained continuously against an enemy commanding the sea approaches thereto, but in the vicissitudes of war the contingency must be contemplated of a tem porary loss of sea power in particular wa ters and the necessity recognized for pro viding against the occurrence of complete disaster during such interval. Political as well as military considerations, or even ir resistible popular interference, might so control the motion of fleets as to disarrange the best laid plans for naval supremacy In given portions of the world; and in order to provide against the disastrous results from such very foreseeable accidents it would seem the part of common "prudence to provide works which should perform the well-understood office of fortifications? na.nelv, to enable a smaller force to hold out against a larger one for a time." He says that a territory as large as that comprised in the Philippine archipelago might, with the assistance of proper de fenses for its important harbors, be able to I maintain itself, even, although cut off by sea, during the continuance of a short war. Without fixed defenses, he adds, it would be possible for a fleet to occupy a harbor and hold at its mercy a city, as did the American fleet with Manila in 1?IS. Con cerning the extent to which the Philippine Islands themselves may be required to en dure the expense necessary for the mainte nance of peace and security and civil order vined the secret of the green tunic only from the tenderness of the low voice. Hut when his mind came back to his companion again, the lad was looking at him with a little smile touching the curves of his wist ful mouth. "Do you know why this mishap which has occurred to you seems great luck for me? Because otherwise it is not likely that you would have found out how true a friend I could be. If it had happened that I had gone with Rothgar's messenger that night, you would have remembered me only as one who could entertain you when it was your wish to laugh. But now. since it has been allowed me to endure suffering with you and to share your mind when it was bitterest, you have given me a place in your heart. And tomorrow, when we go forth together, and the Dane slays me with you because It will be open to him then that for your sake I have become unfaithful to him, you will remember our fellowship even to " But Sebert's hand silenced the tremulous lips. "No more, youngling! I adjure you by your gentleness," he whispered unsteadily. "You owe me no such love; and it makes my helplessness a thousandfold more bitter. Say no more, little comrade, if you would not turn my heart into a woman's when it has need to be of flint. Sit you here on the ledge the while that I take one more turn. You will not? Then come with me, and we will make the round together, and apply our wits once more to the riddle. Until swords have put an end to me, I shall not cease to believe that it has an answer." Below, in the dense blackness of the for est, an occasional owl sounded his echoless cry. From still deeper in the dark, where the Danish camp-fires glowed, a harp-note floated up on the wind with a fragment of wild song. But it was many a long moment before the silence that hovered over the doomed tower was broken by any sound but the measured tramp of the sentinels. It was Sebert who brought the dragging pace finally to a halt, throwing himself upon a stone bench to hold his head in his hands. "We cannot drive them off; that needs no further proof. And I do not see how we can hold out till the time that chance entices them away, when but one meal stands between us and starvation, and already we are as weak as rabbits. Naught can profit us save craft." The dark head beside him shook hopeless ly; but he repeated the verdict with addi tional emphasis. "I tell you. craft is our only hope; some artfulness that shall under mine their strength even as their tricks crept, snake-like, under our guard." Turn ing in his seat, he set his face toward the darkness, clutching his head in renewed ef fort. No word came from the page, but &. strange look was dawning in his upturned face. Whether It was a great terror that had shaken his soul or whether a joy had come to him that raised him to heaven It self, it was impossible to tell, for the signs of both were in his eyes. And when at last he spoke, both thrilled through his voice. "Lord," he said slowly, "I think I see where a trick is posaiW*." therein. Oen.

CLEVELAND IN THE SOUTH. His Candidacy Merest Political Non sense, Says Editor Hood. A dispatch from Montgomery, Ala., con tains the following interview with Horace Hood, editor of the Advertiser of that city: "Since the Maryland election, in which Sen ator Gorman won a victory on an issue, made boldly and directly, that appeals to the sympathy of the southern democracy and white people generally in that section, regardless of party, the Maryland senator has loomed up conspicuously as the logical candidate of the democracy for President in 1904. "Next to Gorman stands Hearst in the af fections of the democracy of Alabama, and, thirdly, may be mentioned Judge Parker, who is regarded with great favor as a compromise man between the tw'o elements of the party. "All this talk about Cleveland growing in favor in the south is veriest political nonsense. Mr. Cleveland has no support within the party, but I understand the lily white republicans are for him as against Roosevelt, but not as against Hanna. If Cleveland should be the nominee of the democratic party, and Roosevelt the repub lican nominee, I believe the lily whites of the south would support Cleveland. "The lily whites can't stand the Booker Washington end of the republican party. They concede to Booker Washington more influence with the President than possessed I by any white republican in the south, and I they may claim or protest their loyalty to j Roosevelt all they will, but they will rend j him when'the time comes. So far as Mr. Cleveland Is concerned, the only boomers he lias in the south are those who left the party with him in 18tMi and aprain in ISMk>. "He has had no recruits. There is not a I single prominent man in the state who j opposed Cleveland in 1KKJ who is for him | | today. Among all the nine representatives iif Congress from this state not one would J vote for him in the national democratic j convention; of the two senators neitiier one is for him. and I doubt if one of them would I vote for Cleveland if he were nominated by J his party, though he has never bolted his ! party's nominees, and would not bolt ex ! cept in cases where he believed the success of a nominee would be more disastrous to his party than defeat. "The report that is being circulated abroad ' that the south is turning to Cleveland is so absurd to those who know the facts that it is hardly worthy denial, hut it is being so industriously worked by the element in the party who dislike Bryan more than they love the party; who prefer to 'down Bryan ism' to party success; who can forgive the party because they foolishly left it in 1S!H!; who are seeking a way back into it by getting the party to Indorse their repudia tion of it, lest harm come of it, lest some good democrats be misled as to the real sentiment of real democrats in the south, that the plain truth should be told." "LET US HAVE PEACE." Grant's Message to Gen. Hawley in Scrap Pile for Years. In a scrap heap in the cellar of the Cou rant building, in Hartford, Conn., has been discovered the original letter of Gen. U. S. Grant in which he used his famous phrase, "Bet us have peace." For more than thirty-five years this let ter has been resting in a pile of forgotten correspondence. In looking over this mass a few days ago a package of letters was discovered bearing an official stamp. In this package was a letter addressed to Gen. Joseph R. Hawley, president of the National Union republican convention, the one that nominated Gen. Grant for the presidency. It was thought to be of more than passing interest and has been pre served. In the letter Grant made use of the sentence which was the underlying sentiment of his acceptance of the nomina tion at the hands of the convention. Gen. Hawley, in his hurry to reach Wash ington, where he was to take up his sena torial duties, left the package of letters behind him. In some manner this bunch of epistles became separated l.om the rest of the preserved papers, ana although a care ful search was made for them at the time they were never found, and only came to liglit by accident many years after. The new hospital .jf the Frederick County | Medical Society, at Frederick, Md., will be | opened about December 1. | As Sebert turned from the darkness, the boy struggled up and stood before him. "If they could be made to believe a lie about the food? If they could be made to believe that vou have enough to continue this for a long time? Their natures are such that already it must have become a hardship for them to remain quiet." The Etheling's eyes were riveted on the other's lips; his every muscle strained to ward him. Under the stimulus the page's words seemed to come a little less uncer tainly, a little more quickly. "I think I could manage it for you. lord. They think me your unwilling captive. You remember what the messenger said about freeing me? If I should go to Roth gar " his voice broke and his eyes sought his friend's eyes as though they were wine cups from which he would drink courage?"if I should go to Rothgar. lord. I could declare myself escaped, and he would be likely to believe any story I told him." Sebert leaped up and caught the lad by the shoulders, then hesitated, weighing It In his mind, half fearing to believe. "But are you sure that your tongue will not trip you? Or yyur face, poor mouse? What! Can you make them believe in abundance when your cheeks are like bowls for the catching of your tears?" The boy seemed to gather strength from the caressing hands, as Tlior from the touch of his magic belt. He even gave a little breathless laugh of elation. "As to that. I think he is not wise enough to guess the truth. I will tell him that you have thought it revengeful toward him to starve your Danish cairtive; and because it In in every respect according to what he would do in your place, I think he will have no misgivings." Pulling the soft curls with a suggestion of his old lightheadedness, the Etheling laughed with him. "You bantling! Who would have dreamed you to that degree art ful? Are you certain your craft will bear you out? I would not have you suffer their anger. Are you capable of so much feign ing?" For an instant the boy's eyes were even audacious, and all the hollowness of the cheeks could not hide a flashing dimple. -n, my dear lord. I am capable of so much more feigning than you guess!" ho an swered, daringly. "Nay. have I not been wont to call you elf?" Sebert returned Then his voice deep ened with feeling. "By the soul of my father. Fridtjof, if you bring me out of tills snare, me and mine, I declare with truth that there will be no recompense you can ask at my hands which I shall not be glad to grant " He paused in the wonder of seeing the sparkle In the blue eyes flee away like a flfttlng light. The page turned away from him almost with a sob. "Pray you. promise me noth ing!" he said, hastily. "If ever I see you again, and you have more to give me than pity?nay, I shall lose my courage if I think of that part. Get me out quickly while the heart la firm within me. And give me a "Out of sight out of mind" is the fate of the store whose ad*, are discontinued. COLLECTIONS ORDERED TO RAISE FUND FOR THE CATHO* LIC UNIVERSITY. Cardinal Gibbons Sends Letter to A1J Priests of Archdiocese Its Full Text. In conformity with the wishes by the holy father. Plus X, Cardinal <;ib bons has ordered a collection for the Catho lic University to be taken up in all the churches of his archdiocese on the first Sunday of Advent, November 3t. l!ti?. It is believed that similar letters will be issued by the other bishops of the I'nited States to the faithful of their dioceses. The cardinal last night grave out a letter, which lias been mailed to all the prieses of archdiocese, which state that: "At ameeting of the archbishops in Wash ington, not many months ago, the decision was unanimously adopted to appeal to all the faithful In the United States on the first Sunday of Advent. November 29. 1!MI3, for funds to carry on successfully the noble en terprise of higher education through the great University at Washington. "Those archbishops who were not present at that meeting heartily Indorse the project of their fellow prelates. The wisdom of their action cannot be questioned. Men of large experience, keenly alive to the coun try's needs, fully appreciating its progress In all other directions, they felt compelled to urge equal advancement In the Intel lectual and religious development of both clergy and laity. The Judgment of these men, who are the divinely appointed lead ers of Christ's flock, should and certainly will be accepted without demur by thd faithful at large. A More Authoritative Voice. "But a more authoritative voice has spo ken. The decision of the archbishops has lieen accepted, approved and emphasized by the decision of the holy see. His holiness, Pius X, has written to me as chancellor of the university, and through me to all the bishops of the United States, expressing his fullest sympathy with thfs contemplated movement, exhorting the faithful to tes.ond generously to the appeal, and promising the apostolic benediction to all who co-operate in the larger and fuller endowment of this university. "And who comprehends more fully than he the benefits which the Catholic Church must derive from a university well equipped and amply endowed? The sovereign pontiff, in every age of the church, has always held universities to be a most potent factor in the spread and preservation of Christ's kingdom upon earth. "Hence it was the early history of the universities is marked by the special fa vors and privileges conferred by the j>opes on ail university students, and by the rich legacies and foundations made to those high seats of learning by both clergy and laity. Foundation Was Timely. "It was then in keeping with the most venerable traditions that the church es tablished in the United States the Catholic University. And surely no one can deny that its foundaUon was timely. Behold the number of non-Catholic univers ties In our country. "It is, moreover, but right that all should contribute to the support of this great project, because a university needs for Its support far greater resources now than In the past. Our brethren In Europe have generously supported their universities by diocesan collections. "And surely we should not be less genec ous nor less broad-minded than so many at our fellow-cit.zens, who from no religious motive contribute so munificently to the numerous noif-CatholIc universities of our land. Moreover, In its short life the Cath olic University has already won for Itself an intellectual prominence which few other universities have reached in the same period of time. "Finally, this is the first appeal of our holy father, Pius X, to us, his American children, to support a work In which he manifests so much Interest. Shall we not, then, justify h.s expectation to the full and make this occasion memorable by our cordial and generous support?" Death of J. L. Curtis. James Uangdon Curtis, who was the presidential candidate of the national American party In 188$, Is dead at his home in Stratford, Conn. He was eighty-seven years old. Mr. Curtis had great hopes for the future of large tracts of land In Texas which he owned. The Infirmities of old age, intensified by mental worry due to the discovery of a defect In the title to a portion of his land, caused his death. draught from your cup to warm my blood." "Certainly it would be best for you to come to them while they are in such a state of feasting that their good humor Is keenest and their wits dullest." j^ebert as sented. He spoke but with the matter-of-faetness of a soldier reconnoitering a position, but on the girl in the page's dress the words fell like blows. Then it was that she real ized for the first time how 111 a crumb can satisfy the hunger which asks for a loaf; that she knew that her body was not the only part of her which was starving. Some where on that dark stairway she lost the boyishness out of her nature forever. The thin cheeks were white under their tan when they came again into the light of the guard room Are, and the blue eyes had in them a woman's reproach. "It would show no more than friendship if you said that you were sorry to have me go," she told him, with quivering lips "Are you so eager in getting me off that you cannot say you will miss me?" But the young lord only laughed good humoredly as he poured the wine "What a child you are! Do you not know those things without my telling you? And as for missing you. I am not likely to have time The first chance you get you will slip back y?y n<Jt 1 w,u come after you fo^geufngr" ^ lmr,raIn' He ,h?r'; no She could not laugh as she would one* have done; Instead, she choked in the cup and pushed it from her.
