A large copper gong with a wood- en club to beat it was being fitted to a stand of ashwood. The harsh reyerberations of this horrid instru- mt could be heard above the din 'of any fight, and made a better sig- nal than 'trumpets. With a great clatter a soldier rode into the courtyard. His horse was foam-flecked, his furniture and 'arms al! powdered grey with dust. © swore with horrid oaths that he had one great overpowering de- 'sire, ard that not to be denied. It d would have before he spoke a gle word. He bellowed for beer. When they brought it him, in a rowd, for he was a scout with news rom the Norwich road, he gurgled his content and shouted his news.

They held Hyla and buffeted him, the castle works ran towards the eourtyard., They came running down the - Blanting bridges leading from the walls, aud their feet made a noise like thunder on the echoing boards.

He wanted, he said, to make a very public thing of it, indeed he was quite determined to hang him from the very top of Outfangthef. At the same time that was far too easy a death. They turned their four evil brains to the question of torture, a grim conclave, and, curiously enough, it was the keenest and most refined intelligence which invented the worst atrocities. Lewin proposed things more horrible than Fulke could ever have thought of. They applauded him for his very service- able knowledge of anatomy. The pain of Hyla, it was eventually set- tlea, was to, last till he could bear no more, and he should hang from the Tower at the end. With that decision made they fell drinking, for Hyla was not to suffer until af- ter the mid-day meal. The two men chosen to inflict. the torture were two swarthy foreign knew no*earthly scruple. About two in the afternoon a little proces- sion started to the guard-house. Lewin's interest in the proceed- ings was already over. He did not join them. He had suggested vari- ous tortures, it was a mental exer- cise which amused him, but that was all. Nothing would have -- in- duced him to watch his own horrible brutalities being inflicted on the victim. He threaded his way among the pens of lowmg cattle and the litter of war material to a tower in the forework, and presently, as the long afternoon waned lazily away, his quick eyes caught sight of a clump of spears, a mile away, on the edge of the wood, By half the night was over, Hil- gay was invested. All round the walls camp-fires glowed in the dark, and snatches of song in chorus could be heard, or a trumpet blaring or- ders. Now and again the guards upon the battlements would hear the thunder of a horse's hoofs, as some officer or galloper went down the village street, and a few fan- dom arrows went singing after him. Every one anxiously awaited the day. CHAPTER XVII. Huber, the man-at-arms, went slowly round the battlements as the sun rose. He was in full pan- oply of war time. A steel cap was on his head, and he wore a supple coat of leathern thongs laced to- gether, and made stronger by thin plates of steel at the shoulder and upper part of the arms. He had a long shield on his left arm, @ cavalry shield notched at the top for a lance. He was inspécting the defences, and he carried this great shield to protect himself from any chance shaft from the enemy, for he made a conspicuous mark every now and again against the sky line. The two squires followed him, well content to learn of such a vet- eran. He was pure soldier ; nothing escaped him. He saw that eaeh ar- cher, with his huge painted long- bow, had his bracer and shootmg glove ready. He found three sharp- shooters had only one small piece of wax among them, and sent for more, cursing them for improvident fools.

A serf came clambering up the wooden scaffolds, which led to the walls. He carried seven or eight Jong ash wands.

As he spoke the archers were fix- ing the tnin poles in staples, which had been prepared for them. "Hola! cried Brain Ge Burgh, "the flag goes up." Even as he spoke a distant flourish of tuckets came down the morning wind. They leant out over the crenelets and strained their eyes down the "hull fenwards. A flag hung from a tall pole, which stood before a white pavil- ion. "A banneret !" said Huber. "He has grown in reods and perches of late. Can you read it for me, Mas- ter Richard ?" The squire made a funnel of his hands and gazed at the flag. "A moline cross, if I see aright," he said, "but it does not matter. Rog- er's flag eke his coat-armor, are what he has a mind to use, not what he useth by any right of birth.' "'Canst see what they are doing out by the carts--by the edge of the orchard ?"' "Ves, sir. They be working on the mantelets, and anon they will wheel them up to protect those who would raise a palisade. on the moat's edge. But come, Master Richard, we must be on the rounds. Much must be looked to. Now look you, Sir Brian, in a siege the hoards are your defender's chief stand-by. Now we are going into each one, for it is in those defences that we must trust in time of at- tack. When "your hoards are breached, then your castle is like to fall." He spoke with the technical as- surance of a veteran--a_ sergeant- major respectfully imparting his own riper knowledge to a brace of subalterns. The "hoards" were wooden struc- tures, little pent-house forts, run out from the curtains, standing on great beams which fitted into holes in the masonry. From behind the breastwork of thick wood the arch- ers could shoot with a freedom -- this way and that--which was de- nied them by the long oblique open- ings in the wall itself. They com- manded al]! points. The group walked out along the narrow gangway, which stretched out over the black moat below, and entered the temporary fort of wood. It was built for the accommodation of four or five men, sharpshooters, who were practically safe from ev- erything but heavy artillery fire from mangonel and catapult. They surveyed the scene before them in silence, The morning had risen clear, calm, and hot. For weeks the morning had been just as this was, and they had strolled along the battlements to catch the cool air and sharpen an early appe- tite. But on those other days the meadows beyond the moat, which ran to the forest edge, had been silent and empty, save for herds of swine and red peaceful cattle. Now but two hundred yards away, scarce more than that it seemed in the clear keen air of dawn, were the tents, the dying fires, the litter and stir, of a great hostile camp. The lines of men, horses, and carts, stretched away right and left in a long curve, till Outfangthef hid them on one side, and the gate- way towers, with their pointed roofs, upon the other. They could hear the trumpets, the hammers of the carpenters, a con- fused shouting of orders, and the hum of active men, as the besiegers began to prepare the nvanifold' en- gines of attack, which-- perhaps before night fell---would be creep- ing slowly towards the walls of Hil- gay. That great low shed which lay upon the ground like a monstrous tortoise, would" presently creep slowly towards them, foot by foot, until it reached the edge of the moat, and the men beneath it would build 'their great fence of logs and empty carts of rubbish into the sul- lew waters, : They could see men upon the slop- ing roofs, gradually sloping from nailing tanned hides over the beams. The sound of tapping ham- mers reached them from the work which should be protective of Greek fire and burning tar from above.

Most men think they know all about milking--can't tell them anything about that; and yet, if we could know what the cows think on that question, it may be we would find that there are some things for us to learn. It is worth while, at any rate, to look to our ways in this respect and get all the suggestions we can. For when we have said and done all, the process of milking is one of the most im- portant farmers have to perform. First, then, is sympathy on the part of the milker. It never pays to be harsh with cows. If this could only be deeply impressed on the minds of men everywhere it would add thousands of dollars to the farm revenue of the country. And then, a good grip with the hand counts for much. Some men: have a way of bending the fingers so that the ends stick right into the sides of the teats, If the nails are long, milkers who do that, cause cows a good deal of pain, and any- thing that does that hinders a cow from doing her best; because cows have nerves and anything that ef- fects them unfavorably makes the cow hold back part of her milk, and IT am quite sure that what she does give is not as rich as it otherwise would be. The nails should be well trimmed and the fingers kept out pretty straight, only curving to clasp the teat firmly and evenly, There are milkers who jerk hig teats hard when at their work. This certamly cannot be very comfor, table to the cow. Far better to squeeze steadily, holding the hand up in an easy position, The cow cannot help appreciat- ing this effort on the part of her master to be thoughtful of her comfort, The noises which are heard many stables at milking time are distressing to people who have been blessed with nerves. Shouting, scolding, perhaps swearing and kicking and pounding--these are frequent conditions at such times. They all hinder cows from doing the best they can. No man who loves his cows or who has an eye to his own interests will permit such things for a moment. At milking time the cows should be in a quiet state of mind and body. Even to be nibbled by a fly takes something from the peaceful condi- tion most conducive to the best re- sults. For that reason it is a good plan to throw a nice clean blanket over the cow's back while milking. All harsh sounds should be shut out. Some cows like to hear men sing. By studying them we may learn which these cows are and in direction, Others lke to have it as still as possible at milking time, It is wise to cater to this disposi- tion. 2 : The best word to describe the' most favorable condition at milk- ing time is comfort, The more nearly we can bring about such a of sugar and a half teaspoon of | Drink 'while it is ef-| od for an invalid. |G Put two tablespoonfuls grape juice respond to their tastes in this; ------ successful we.
