Another in; stant, and the Sultan was on his feet again, and a score or scimitnrs were striking at Godwin. His horse Flame sank down dying. but he sprang from the saddle, swinging the long sword.

Take that star-jewel, the badge of my House, from my turban and wear it in mem- ory of me. Long, long and happy be your days." 7 For now, throwing aside his buck- ler and grasping the great sword in both hands, with a shout of “A D’Arcy! A D’Arcy!” Walt leapt at Hassan as a wounded lion leaps. The sword wheeled and fell, and lo! the shield of the Saracen was severed in two. Again it fell, and his turbaned helm was cloven. A third time, and the right arm and shoulder with the scimitar that grasped it seemed to spring from his body, and Hassan sank dying to the ground. Wm: stood and looked at him, while a murmur of grief went up from those who watched, for they loved this emir. Hassan beckoned to the victor with his leit hand, and throwing down his sword to show that he feared no treachery, Wait came to him and knelt beside him. “Your brother is sped,” said the Saracen captain to Godwin but God- win only answered: “Wait.” As he spoke Wult twisted his body out or reach of a third blow, and while Hassan staggered forward with the weight of the missed stroke, placed his hand upon the ground, and spring- ing to his feet, ran backwards six or eight paces: men was me noxy noon, wane omers drove or led mobs of prisoners. among them the king and hisc hoses knights. The wilderness was red with blood. the air was rent with shouts of victory and cries of agony or despair. And there, in the midst of it all. ringed round with grave, courteous Saracens. stood the emir, clad above his mail in his white robe and jeweled turban. facing the great Christian knight, with harness hacked and reddened, the light of battle shining 'in his fierce eyes, and a smile upon his stained features. “names?" cried the Saracens; but again Godwin said, “Wait.” Nor was there long to wait. causing the Mk to stagger.

Then his courage came backtohim,gndhaanswered in a strong voice: , "No need to explain, Sir Knight. those words are my death-warrant. Well, I never expected lean." Then Baledin spoke again. “Prince Arnat, you strove to take the holy city of Mecca and to dese- crate the tomb of the Prophet, and then I swore to kill you. Again, when in a time of peace a caravan came from Egypt and passed by Eeh-Shobek. where you were. forgetting your oath, you tell upon them and slew them. They asked for mercy in the name of Allah, saying that there was truce be- tween Saracen and Frank. But you mocked them. telling them to seek aid from Mahomet, in whom they trusted.

Among them the brethren rejoiced to see Egbert, the gentle and holy bishop of Nazareth, whom they had thought dead. Also. wounded in many places, hie hacked harness hanging about him like 3 beggar’e rage, there was the black-brewed Master of the Templars, who even now could be fierce and lnsolent.“ The Sultan bade his captains be seated, and seeing their terrible thirst. commanded slaves to bring a. great bowl of sherbet made of rose-water cooled with snow, and with his own hand gave it to king Guy. He drank in great gulps, then passed the bowl to Reginald de Chatilion. wherem Sale» din cried out to Godwin: 7 Godwin insulated, sorrowtuny enough. and Reginald, who knew the habits or the Saracens, anger-991 “So I was rightfhe mocked in a husky voice, “and here you no, safe with your friends the SW.

And turninz. he look- ed towards a. binsoned tent which with the Sultan's great pavilion, and not far behind it, was being pitched by the Arab camp-setters.
