MOn the top of the wave, my chief, . iw-ihough it Is my belief that he has •ybtir mind 'toward ESdric Jarl, for fell that Thorkel is ever on hand to ante the value of his craft. And cer­ tainly it was exceedingly usefuf to them at Assington. The Gainer fled, with all his men, at the moment ^hen mtf&t King Edmund depended upon his support; and In this way left;for Danish feet a hewn path where a for­ est of battle-trees had stood." Rothgar took no part in ttoe stream ©f questions and comments that drowned -the voice of the messenger, until suddenly he launched an oath t^at out-thundered them all: "May Thor feel otherwise than I do, for I vow that were I in his place. I would r&Ise Danish warriors in wool-chests! Is that^he valor of the descendants of Odin, that they1 go not into battle until a foul-hearted traitor has swept the wty clean of danger?" , Brass Borgar spoke with the utmost deprecation: "I say nothing against your feelings, chief ; arid there are hot a few who think as you do; yet I ask you to remember one thing. I ask you to remember that no Dane has ever held back ia'battle because he had the Traitor s help. I think it is becaqse he Is out of patience with the war that the King makes of the Gainer a time-saver. It has been, told me that he fights not for love of it. nor yet for glory, but because he covets the land of--" Like the bellow of an agry bull, ^Rothgar's voice broke^ through his. "Land! He who forgets -glory in his eagerness for property deserves the curse of Thor!" "Prepare yourself, then, for a thun­ derbolt, Rothgar Lodbroksson," a clear Irotce spoke up suddenly. None but had forgotten the red- cloaked figure munching its bread in the shadow behind them. One and all started in surprise. And the chief turned over his shoulder a. face that was livid with anger. "You--you dare!" he roared. But Randalin's heart was too full of bitterness to leave any room for fear. At the moment it seemed to her that It did not matter what happened. Her wonder Was great when slowly, even while his eyes blazed, Rothgar's mouth began to twitch at the corners. All at once he rolled over on his back W#h a shout of laughter. ^ : "By Ragnar, there will not be many U n d e r t h p ( h a t c h e d roof of the hut a still more striking contrast awaited the eyes of those who entered. With a milking-stool for his^table and the shepherd's rude bunk for a throne, the young King of the Danes was bending in scowling meditation over an open scroll. At the sight of him the •girl's heart started and shook like a harp- string under the touch of the master; and Rotljigar, the stolid, the stern, who had come to upbraid, bowed reverently as he grasped the hand, his leader stretched out. • "King, I would not have kept away had. I guessed that my sword would be useful to you. It was my belief that you were entertaining yourself with getting property in Mercia, else would I have left all to come to you." Canute half pressed the huge paw and then; half spurned it. "It was in my mind to give you a great scolding when I got you again. You must have gotten yourself fitted out for the rest of your life since at last you were willing to leave." „ , ; "Lord," Rothgar began, "I harfc come back to you as poor as I went--" But the King interrupted him, as at that moment, in the figure hesitat­ ing at the door, he recognized his miss­ ing ward. "Say tot so, when you have brought back the bright blade we mourned as lost!" He put out his other hand with a gleam of pleasure in his changeful eyes. "Welcome to you, Fridtjof the Bold! I should like to believe that you are as glad to re­ turn to me as I am glad to receive you." As she stood there watching him, Randalin tad been undergoing a strange transformation. For four months she had almost forgotten his existence, he had been little more than an empty name, while she gav..e every energy of mind and heart to . the things about her. But now, behold! One sight of his life-full face, one ' moment of his dominating presence, ' and those months were swept into the land of dreamsr His deeds alone ap­ peared vital; he alone seemed real. She, the Etheling himself, were but as shadows depending upon his sun­ like career. , If he should choose to shine upon them, what dark evil could come nigh? It was in all sincerity "H$t Randalin bent her knee as she took his hand. "Lord," she cried impulsively, "I have brought you back a loyal heart! I have betfu very close to the "English n fewest!^;/-!® victory was without relish tofim. aiid he was desirous to regain their friend­ ship." I A distinct chuckle came from Ca­ nute, and • some murmur aboutf^ the Ironside's chin. Then he said, "Go on, and tell me everything you can remember"; and once more lay staring at the ceiling in silence. He did not appear to notice it when she stopped; the pause lasted so long that Rothgar concluded that sleep had overtaken their host and rose softly to betake himself to such cheer as the fires offered. As he made the first step, however, Canute sat up sud* denly, striking his fist upon the bunk. "I will do it!"' he said. While they stared, he rose and'recommenced his hurried pacing, his eyes keen and far away, his mouth set in grim resolve. "Do what, King?" the son ofLqtU brok ventured at last. Canute's eyes appeared to rest upon the pair without seeing them. ^ "Ac­ cept the challenge," he answe'/ed ab­ sently. Then the utter horror in both faces brought him momentarily back. "You need not look like that. I would not do it if I did not see a good chance to win. There are other weapons than those which dwell in sheaths." "But if you lose?" Rothgar's harsh voice was discount with emotion. "If you lose?" The King silenced him impatiently. "I do not think I shall lose; but if it be otherwise, then Fate will rule it.11 prefer to risk everything rather than to experience more delay." Catching the bewildered page by the collar, he pushed him toward the door. "Run, boy, with all the speed of y^r^legs, and find Ingimund the Swimmer and fetch him here. And you, foster-broth­ er. if my fame is important to you, dp you betake yourself to. those dumpish oafs around the fires and try, by any means whatever, to r«nedy their faint­ heartedness. Ask them if they want the host across the river to think them turned into a herd of weeping bond­ women. Ask them if they think thus to show honor to their King. Tell them that I take it as no proof of their "love; that I will have none of that halting faith which limps up with a great cry after the show is over. Tell them--Oh, tell them anything you think worth while--only that you get some noise out of them! Evil will come of it if the Englishman is al­ lowed to believe that-ho has beaten ua before ever he has struck a blow." Rothgar sighed as he moved for­ ward. "I am very unfit to speak words of cheerfulness to anybody but th shall, like, other things, be as y' (To be continued.) • Jt Mttnted t# her as though she war • parking out of life into death. Jests to equal this!" he gasped. "That a titmouse-should ruffle its featherfi and upbraid me! Here is merriment!" He lay there laughing after the othefs had joined in with him; and his face was not entirely sober the next time he turned it toward her. Yet when he had risen' a change came into his voice that brought every man to his feet. "We will make ready J# go at cockcrow," he said abruptly. it were only a matter of a couple of days, I would wait; but since it will be at least a week before we can ex­ pect them to give in, I think it un- advisable to waste more time. As soon as Canute gets the kingship over the English realm, Ivarsdale will fall to me anyway. Let the Angle enjoy ISmself until then." % CHAPTER XIII. * The Sword of Speech. v No holiday finery tricked out the ^Danish host where it squatted along the Severn Valley that dreary" Octo­ ber day; neither, festal tables nor / • dimpling women njor even the gay- •triped tents. Of all the multitude of flags but one banner pricked the murky'air--the Raven .standard that marked the head­ quarters of the king; and its sodden folds distinguished nothing more regal • than a shepherd's wattled cote. Seat- ••tered clumps of trees offered the- • iWeary men their only protection against the drizzling rain; and the •ole suggestions of comfort were the fcickly fires that patient endeavor had managed to coax into life in these retreats. Some, whom exhaustion had robbed even of a fire-tender's ambi- 'tlon, had dropped down on the -very •pot where they had slipped from their saddles, and slept, cloak-wrap- 'ped, in the wet. And the circles about .the fires were not much noisier. ' . Rothgar's face gathered gravity as t |te gained the crest of the last hill that lay between him and the strag- encampment. "The rain appears to fall as coldly Oft their cheer as on their fires," he i commented. "They hug the earth like tfie ducks on Videy Island." "And look about as much like war­ riors who have got a victory," the <jfc!!d of Frode added wonderingly. ,But the son of Lodbrok was already trading his men down the hillside to- .ward the point where the silken ban- •wer mocked at wattled wall*. I king, and he Is unworthy to bold your sgvord." . Canute gave a sudden laugh; but it was a short one, and he turned away abruptly to begin a restless pacing to and fro. Pausing before Rothgar, "he jerked his head toward the scroll. "Do jJou know what that is? That is a challenge from the Ironside." "A challenge?" his listeners cried4n- chorus. He seemed to take petulant offence at their .surprise. "A challenge. Did you never hear the word before, that you stare like oxen? He invites me to settle this affair by single combat on the island, yonder; and there is, the greatest sense in what he says. Every one who has a man's wit is tired of the strife; ard if we con­ tinue at it, there wiil not be much ..to win besides ashes and bones. The host is full of impatience; and I am weary unto madness. Never do we come to any end, nor ever shall until that time when the wolf shall catch the sun! I have nowhere heard of a more foolish war than, this. It was injmy mtndvas you came in, that I would send a favorable answer to the Englishman and get the matter decid- *e<¥, one way or another." Even Randalin uttered a cry; and Rothgar caught his King by the arm, as thought to snatch him out of bodily iteril. "Only one way would be possible, Canute! Your wai&t is not so big as one of his arms. ' His sword would cleave you as if it cut water." Half laughing, but more resentful, the King freed himself. "Now do you hold my power so*lightly? More than once have I gotten under your guard. If B^vill could accomplish anything, you would not have'to wait long for what I should fix upon." He broke off with a shrug and flung himself back upon the straw of the bunk. "Let us speak of something else," he said. "What did the boy say about having seeu Ed­ mund?" . 1 Somewhat ramblingly, as uncertain of his interest, Randalin told him of her glimpse of the Ironside; and he listened, lying back on the straw, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. She had be­ gun to think he had forgotten her, when all at once he shot out a swift question: "Did you never, find out what the wool was that Edrlc Jarl pulled over his eyes?" "Not unless one could guess it from what King Edmund said, lord,--that A Straight Tip. Donald Foster Lloyd, one of the local officials of the Postal Telegraph company, overheard a conversation the other day between two messen­ ger "boys that made h|M smile. OD'C of the lads was a very dirty looking specimen. His badge was tarnished, his shoes were badly run over and almost wcrn out and his uniform was frayed, and covered with dust. The. other youngs'ter was somewhat the worse for wear as far as his gar­ ments were concerned, but he was brushed up a bi|, and he wore* a somewhat soiled but very high col­ lar. set off by an exceedingly loud necktie. "You'd better watch out," he said to the first boy, "or the dog-catcher will get you." The dirtiest urchin's inquiry as to why he need fear the collector ol canines brought this retort: "Be­ cause you* hain't got no collar on."-- Pittsburg Dispatch. Puff of Fame. ^ Justice Brewer is from Kansas, and his state is justifiably proud of him. Soon after his elevation to the s$ preme bench a cigar manufacturer in Topeka dedicated a 10-cent "domestic" cigar to the jurist, named it "Our Jus> tice," and on the cover of each boa pasted a portrait of Mr. Brewer. A few years ago* the justice was in Topeka on a business trip. The hotel clerk recognized him, and the negrc bell boy, although he had no idea wh% the newcomer was, knew from th« way he was ordered about that the pa tron was of some consequence. Goin? up in the elevator the negro stared constantly at the tall, dignified man. Suddenly the black face was wreathed in smiles, and the boy said: " 'Scuse me, boss, but ain't y«u de gemmen dat invented dem 'Ouah Je& tice' cigars?" This reminds one of the man whe was recalling famous persons whe "parted their names in the middle."* "And then," he said, "there is 'E Plurilnis Unum,' the man that makes the bass drums."--Kansas Clty~Jour cal. - . ' Human Skyscraper*. "Yes, sir," said the doctor, "aftei long years of research and patient in­ vestigation, I have at last discovered a method of treatment by which short people may grow taller." "Is it possible?" exclaims the other part of this conversation. "It is the truth. The medicine Is simple, and pleasant to take, yet Its results are marvelous. Men who are hampered by lack of height have only to take three bcttles and they sprout up like morning glory vines." "Wonderful!" "But I shall not stop with thifi. 1 believe I can carry the idea oa to even more marvelous results." "You don't mean to say you think you can fix up a medicine that will make people grow to be as i>ig as they think they are?" - A Book Infinite. There is a young German teacher in the West who thinks city children are easier to teach than country chil dren, in spits of the fact that most of our great men have come from the rural districts. One day she spent an hour In de­ fining several words. Among them was the word "infinite." After her long explanation she asked finally: "Now, Wiio can give me a sentence with the word 'infinite* in It, and ex­ plain why?" A small boy's hand went up. At a nod from the teacher he arose, hold­ ing up a paper book, and said: "This book Is Infinite because it if unbounded." RAILWAY TO OPEN UP R!CH » TRACT OF THE EXTREME NORTH ( Alaska Central Ry, »••«••• Protected lines OQfd Copper. Mile*. 50 100 r K O N M I M M N , The Alaska Central Railway. Two years ago a number of men on the Pacific coast, mostly in business about Seattle, organized a company to build a railway from the neighborhood of > Cape Resurrection northward to the Tanana river, one of the principal feeders of the Yukon. The preliminary explorations show­ ed an ice-free harbor and practicable passes through the mountains, and that the country through which the line would pass had resources of gold, copper,. coal, tin^and platinum. They also showed that in many of tae val­ leys vegetables and grain would grow as well as in northern Minnesota. Work has been going on for a year; a town at the terminus has grown to 900 inhabitants, with electric light and a telephone system. The first rail& were laid last April, and already seven miles have been laid, while on about twenty-five additional miles the grading Is well along toward comple­ tion. The only labor difficulty and trouble experienced so far is caused by fre­ quent findings of rich placer gold locations. A large number of pros- pectorj? are constantly at work on creeks and river tributaries within easy traveling distance. These men will come to Seward, the road's southern terminus, with nuggets an<jl gold dust often showing net earnings of from 98 to $15 per day with- rocker and pan, and gen­ erally, after a payday, a not incon­ siderable portion of the grading and tracklaying forces scatters to try prospecting, in hopes of big finds. About one in twenty will succeed, in a week's time, in finding a good place, while the others straggle back, quite willing to resume the company's shovel and pick. This railway will place the Yukon river, Nome and Dawson and the great new mining district of the Tanana within five days' easy travel of Seattle, as against twenty,eight to thirty days now necessary for the trip. It gives easy access to central, southwestern and southeastern Alas­ ka all the year around, whereas, now, for five months of the year, the more remote regions of Alaska are inacces­ sible.--Engineering News. EXPLORER HAS TRAVELED FAR. 8AILOR PRINCE OF GERMANY. Dr. Koch's Specialty Is the Observa­ tionof South America. Dr. Theodore Koch of the Berlin Museum fur Volkerkunde, who is ex­ ploring the districts of the upper Amazon, reports that he has advanc­ ed farther than any white man on the Rio Tiqui, and has come into contact with hitherto unknown Indian trihes. He spent several weeks in their vil­ lages and has brought back from his journey a rich collection of photo­ graphs and native articles, among others the famous signal drum of the Tukano tribe. He hopes to prolong his operations till the spring of* next year, but the continued disputes be­ tween the Peruvians and Brazilians have somewhat interfered with his arrangements. Gave Earl Undue Honor. The earl of Ranfurly, who has re­ signed as governor and commander in chief of New Zealand, crossed- this country a few days ago on his way home. His lordship was exceedingly shy of the interviewer and told this story in explanation. "When I ar­ rived in New York from London on my way to New Zealand seven years ago a representative of a paper that prints its headlines in red ink called at my hotel to get an interview. Well, he looked a bright and pleasant sort of chap, and I gave him the informa^ tion he desired, feeling assured that everything would be correctly report­ ed. Among other questions he asked me what I was in politics. I told him I was a unionist. Now, as you know, unionist is, briefly, one who is opposed to the severance of relations between Great' Britain and Ireland; in other words, an opponent of home rule. When I saw the interview in me paper the next morning what was my sur­ prise to .find that the reporter had put me down as one of the leading trades unionists of England." Adopted Into Seneca Indian Tribe. Miss Mary Jameson, daughter of a Presbyterian clergyman in Rochester, N. Y., has been adopted in the Deer clan, of the Seneca Indians, receiving the "name of Ah-Wae-Agwas, which means "Picking Flowers Out of the Water." For the last few summers Miss Jameson has been accustomed to visit the Indians and hold religious services on Sunday. A few days after her adoption she was visited at her summer cottage by a number of Indians, who presented her with an ancient silver brooch. Lives to Praise Wagnen Frau Cosima Wagner has devoted her widowhood to the praise of Wag­ ner. She has been reared on music, for she is the daughter of a great pianist, has been the wife of two composers and the mother of a third. Her father was iJszt (who was a Hun­ garian),She was first married to Hans Von Bulow and secondly to Wag­ ner. Her son, Siegfried Wagner, was bom in 1869.

Prince Adalbert of Prussia, having spent some eighteen months in the China seas as sub-lieutenant on board the cruiser Hertha, is now to return to Euroite via the United States, travl eling by ordinary passenger steamer from Japan. He is said to be a-tall, weli-set-up young fellow, who presents many traits of resemblance to his uncle, Prince Henry, in his complete absence o£ affectation and in his sim­ plicity of manner. Destined to be­ come in course of time the lord high admiral of the imperial German navy, he has already seen a good deal of the world, and at St. Petersburg, at Rome, at Constantinople and in Eng­ land, in fact, in every foreign coun­ try or capital that he has visited he has created an excellent Impression. He is still quite a lad, beingcjust 20 years old. Record for Boat Unloading. ^The world's record for boat unload­ ing has just been broken at Conneaut. The Wolvin, the largest freighter on fresh water, was emptied of a cargo of 9,945 tons of iron ,ore in four and a half hours, re&ucing by six hours the best record heretofore made. The to­ tal delay from the beginning to the end of the Unloading did not exceed five minutes. One by one eight mon­ strous hoisting machines were trans­ ferred, in turn to the thirty-three cargo hatches of the Wolvin, while a vast audience watched the proceedings from the adjacent docks. Not that the unloading of big boats is rare at Con- neaut. It is to-day the foremost ore port of the world--Its ore receipts for July being 786,554 tons, nearly 100,000 tons more than were ever received be­ fore, and this despite the fact that the movement of ore generally this year has not been as heavy as was expected early in the season.--Toledo Blade.
