' ae FREEDOM AT LAST History of a Man Who Lived in Misery and*Torture at CHAPTER XVI.--(Cont'd) The appearance of the courtyard had quite altered by this time. Bloping scaffokds of wood, connect- ed by plank galléries, ran up to the walls and made it possible to in- stantly concentrate a large force of men upon any given point which should be attacked. The fantastic arms of the man- gonels and trebuchets, and other slinging instruments yose grimly above the battlements. <A great erane upon the top of a tower, slung up piles of rocks and bar- rels of Greek fire, with steady in- dustry. Shields of wood covered with damp hide and piereed with loopholes, frowned on the top of the battlements towards the out- side world. . Great heaps of a sort of hand grenade, made of wicker work and full of a foul concotion of sulphur and pitch, were arranged at inter- vals, and iron braziers, standing on tripod legs, were dotted here and there, so that the soldiers could at once obtain a light for a pitch bar- rel or grenade. A large copper gong with a wood- en club to beat it was being fitted to a stand of ashwood. The harsh reverberations of this horrid instru- ment 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 all powdered grey with dust. He swore with horrid oaths that he had one great overpowering de- sire, and that not to be denied. It was beer he said that he wanted, and would have before he spoke a single word. He bellowed for beer. When they brought it him, in a crowd, for he was a scout with news from the Norwich road, he gurgled his content and shouted his news. Lord Roger had pressed on with great specd, and was now close at hand. Probably as~ evening fell that day, certainly during that night, his foree would camp. round the walls. They took him away to Fulke's chamber, where that wor- thy, who had been up all-night, was snatching a little sleep. They thronged round him clamoring for more news. 'then theré came a burst of dis- tant cheering, an explosion of fierce evies at the gates, and a little mob of men-at-arms rushed into the bai- ley, followed by half a dozen senti- nels with pixes in their hands. In the middle of the crowd a man stood bound, dressed in a leathern jacket, and the soldiers were beat- ing him over the head with the shafts of their pikes. His face ran with blood and there was an aw- ful stare of horror in his eyes. So Hyla came back to Hilgay. At the gate of the castle they had halted him, with many oaths, and turned his head towards a tree, from one of whose branches hung the naked swollen corpse of Elgifu. They held Hyla and buffeted him, while the soldiers from all parts of the castle works ran towards the courtyard, They came running down the slanting bridges leading from the walls, and their feet made a noise like thunder on the echoing boards. The cooks came out of the kitchens, the serfs from the stables, until there was a great bawling, shout- ing crowd, struggling and fighting to get a look at the captive. None were louder in their menace than the serfs. Some zealous soul, inspired by nncontrollable excitement, feeling the curious need of personal action that often comes to an excitable nature laboring under a sudden nerve stress, got him to the cham- ber at the foot of Outfangthef and fell to pulling lustily at the castle bell. Snaddenly, with the swiftness of a mechanical trick, a deep. stillness of voice and gesture fell upon. the tumult. It was as though some wiz- ard had made his spell and turned them all to stone. Every eye turn- ed towards Outfangthef and a lane opened among the people. Fulke Was seen coming down the steps, and behind him was his sister, the Lady Alice de la Bourne. The lady stayed on her evign at the head of the stairway, palpitat- ing, and he came slowly down to- wards the prisoner. In a second they were face to face. Twice Fulke put his hand to the pommel of his dagger, and twice he let it fall away. He said nothing, but his sinister eyes looked steadily at Hyla till the serf dropped his head before the gaze of his vietim's son, so hard, bitter, and cruel it was, At last Fuike turned to the gsol- dievs: "Take him to the guard- room,"' he said, "and keep him in safety there until I send you werd. As for the rest of you, get you back to work, for there is not a moment to lose. Let the portcullis fall and heave the drawbrulge up, keep sta tion all of you. I promise you a merry sight with that"--he pointed to Hyla~--'"'ere long. He will ery meeculpee with his heart's black blood,'? He saw the two squires and Le. win among i crowd, and nodded that they should come to him. Then, turning, he Went with them anto the tower, to his own. room again. 'bbe frank, there was very little dyama in that meeting. One might have expeeted drama. Romance would certainly "require it," but Fulke was not the nature to rise to tle occasion, He lacked tem- permanent. He would have better 2 pleased his men if he had made more display. j When the Baron reached his room he proceeded to discuss the method of Hyla's execution "with his friends, 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- tled, was to last till he could bear no more, and he should hang from the Tower at the end. With that decision niade 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 scoundrels from Mirebeau, men who knew no earthly seruple. 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 lowing 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 ran- 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, a cavalry shield notched at the top for a lance. He was inspecting 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 each ar- cher, with his huge painted long- bow, had his bracer and shooting 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. When he came to an arbalestrier his eye brightened at the sight of the weapon--by far the deadliest of that day, despite the praisers of the English yew--which he loved. He tested the strong double cords with the moulinet, inspected the squat thick quarrels which lay in large leather quivers, hung to the masonry by pegs, and saw. that each steel-lined groove was clean and shining. The man's eyes gleamed with sat- isfaction as he went his rounds: 'Look you, sir," he said to Brian de Burgh, "we are well set up in this fortalice. Never a thing is lacking! Nary castle from here to London is so well found." He pointed to a pile of brassarts, the arm-guards used 'by the archers, which Jay by a trough full of long steel-headed arrows, with bristles of goose and pigeon feathers. 'This is. a powerful good creature in attack," he continued, pointing to a heap of lime. "A little water and a dipper to fling the mess with, and a-burneth out a man's eyes within the hour," A serf came clambering up the wooden scaffolds, which led to the walls. He carried seven or eight long ash wands, At the end of each | hung a long pennon of linen. He | gave them to Huber. | "What are these, Huber?" said | young Richard Ferville, as the sol- dier took them. 'lt is'a plan TE saw at Arqueés,"' he answered, "Tete-Rouge was head bowyer there. Ma foi, and he could shoot you a go6d shoot! At Arques, sir, as you may know, strong winds blow from 'the sea on one side, though 'tis miles inland, and on the other the wind corseth down the valley from Envermeau.

As he spoke the archers were fix- ing the tnin poles in staples, which had been prepared for them. "Hola !" cried Brain de. 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 hill fenwards, A flag hung from a_ tall pole, which stood before a white pavil- ion. ""A banneret !"' said Huber. "He has grown in roods 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." "Crmst 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 veteran--a sergeant- major respectfully imparting his own riper knowledge to a brace of subalterns. The "hoards" were wooden struc- tures, httle pent-house forts, run out from the curtaims, 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 all 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 keém. air of dawn, were the a tents, the dying fires, 'the litter and stir, of a great hostile camp, The Hnes of men, horses, and carts, stretched away right and Jeft 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 bégan to prepare the manifold 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- Ten waters, They could see mea upon the slop- ing roofs, gradually sloping from ny rontral ridge. men lke great flies, nailing tanned hides -over the beams. 'he sound of tapping ham- mers reached them from the work which should be protective of Greek fire and burning tar from above. And against the light green of. the meadew-lands,"and the darker olive of the thick forest trees, the many colors of pennons, the glint of sunlight wpon arms, gave the ani- mation. of the scene an added qua- lity of picturesqueness. How "de- corative" it all was! how vivid and Shilohis Cure b Ids, be the throat and lun, et aaa ie 28 oe complete .a picture! And yet how stern and sinister in meaning. The soldiers were silent as they leaned out over the pent-house. The squires left the works and descended to the bailey. Huber re- mained on the wall. From where he stood he could see all over the castle. Such of the garrison as were not on guard or employed in active preparation straggled slowly over the grass towards the chapel door. Some of the serfs followed, the man-at-arms could easily dis- tinguish their characteristic dress. He turned curiously pale beneath his bronze. Then his eyes turned towards the noble tower Outfang- thef, and presently fixed themselves on an iron door, between two but- tresses, which was nearly below the level of the yard, and 'must be reached by a few old mildewed steps. His eyes remained fixed upon the archway of the door, and his face became full of a great gloom and horror, The sentinels passed and re-pass- ed him as he stared down below with set pale features. At length he turned and entered one of the hoards. The angle of the side hid him from view of the men 'upon the walls. There Huber knelt down and prayed for the serf who had saved his life on Wilfrith Mere, and now lay deep down behind that iron door. The strong man beat his breast arid bowed his head. He bowed still lower with his hands crossed upon his breast. For to this rugged and lonely wor- shipper also, the message was com- ing that all men are brothers. And so farewell to Huber. 3 % *« * * * In a dark. place, under the ground, full of filth and rats, Hy- la lay dying in the crucet hus. It is not necessary to say how they had used him. He was not unconscious, though from the poor maimed body, but the swoon never lasted long. In the long and awful night, in that black tomb, with no noise but the pattering of the rats, what did he think of? I think there were emotions in his heart. He prayed very earnestly to God, that he might die and be at peace, and he cried a great deal that he could not say good-bye to Gruach. The unmarried cannot know how bitter- ly a man wants his wife in trouble. Hyla kept sobbing and moaning her name all night. The second day, though he never knew a day had gone down there, they had but little time to torture him, and after half an hour of un- bearable agony he was left alone in silence. No one but an enormous: ly strong man could have lived for half as long. Still in his brain tl no thought of martyrdom, and none of the exaltation that it might have given. Although he prayed, and believed indeed that God heard him, his imaginative faculties were not now aeute enough to help him to any ghostly comfort. Continu- ally he whimpered for Gruach, until at length he sank into a last stu- por. At last, at the end of the after- noon, his two torturers came and unbound the maimed thing they had made, "Tt is the end now, Hyla," said one of them, "very soon and it will be over. They are all a-waiting and my Lord Roger Bigot of Nor- wich has given us an hour's truce. while we kul you, you dogr" They untied the thongs, and lift- ed him from the cruel stones. One of them gave him-a horn of wine; so that he might have a little strength. It revived him somewhat, and they half led, half carried him up the stairs. Up and on tney went, on that last terrible journey, un- til the lantern, which was carried a soldier in front of them, be- gan to. pale before rich hghts of sunset, which poured in at the loop-holes in the stairway wall. They were climbing up Outfang- thef. The fresh airg of evening played about them. After the stench of the oubliette, it was like heaven to Hyla. : They passed up and up, among the chirping birds, until a little ill- fitting wooden door, through the chinks of which the light poured like water, showed their labor was at an end. The serf's spirits rose enormously. At last! At last! Death was at hand, At this mo- ment of supreme excitement, he nerved himself to be a man, The occasion altered his whole demean- or. Almost by a miracle his sub- missive attitude dropped from him. His dull eyes flashed, his broken hody became almost straight. The heavy, vacuous expression fied from his face never to return, and his nostrile curved in disdain, and with pride at this thing he had done. It was better to be hanged on a tower like this than on the tree at the castle gate, he thought as he little door opened, They came out upon the platform' in the full blaze of the setting sun. Far, far below, the smiling woods lay happily, and the rooks called to each other round the tree-tops. The river wound its way into the feu Like a silvers ribbon. Peace and sweetness lay over all the land, Hyla turned his weary head and took one last'look at this beauti- ful sunset England. A great cheering came from be- low as the execution party came out on the battlements, a fierce roar. of execration. While they were fitting his neck with the rope, Hyla soked down. The castle was spread below him like a map, very vivid in the bright light. Hundreds of tiny white faces were turned towards him. Outside the walls he saw a great camp with tents and huts, among which fires were just being lit to cook the ev- ening: meal. : | At last, on the edge' of the cop- two great 1ere was hy i now and again the brain would fly ing they let him kneel down for prayer. Lord Fulke had not yet sounded the signal, down in the courtyard, when they should swing him out. He did not pray, but looked out over the lovely countryside with keen brave eyes. Freedom was very, very near. Freedom at last! The soldiers could not understand his rapt face, it frightened them. As he gazed, his eye fell on a round tower at the far end of the de- fences. Down the side of the tower @ man was descending by means of a rope. Although at this distance he appeared quite small, something in the dress or perhaps in the col- or of the hair proclaimed it to be Lewin. The executioners saw him also. "God !" said one of them, "There goes our minter to Roger. The black hound !" He bent over the edge of the abyss and shouted frantically to the crowd below, but he could convey no meaning to them. The little moving figure on the wall had dis- appeared by now, but a group of men standing at the moat-side showed that he was expected. Hyla saw all this with little in- terest. He was perfectly calm, and all his pain had left him. Already. he was at peace. A keen blast from a trumpet sounded in the courtyard below, and came snarling up to them. There was a sudden movement, and then the two hosts of the be- siegers and besieged saw a black swinging figure sharply outlined against the ruddy evening sky. Justice had been done. But may we not suppose that ne death notes of the earthly horn swelled and grew in the*poor serf's ears pulsing louder and more gloriously triumphant, until he knew them for the silver trumpets of the Her- alds of Heaven coming to welcome him? THE END. INSEPARABLE EVEN IN DEATH Girl Friends of a Life Time Die on Same Day. Two coffins, covered with rich floral emblems, were lowered into one grave recently in. the presence of a great mourning congregation, at Cootehall, near Carrick-on-Shan- non, Leitrim, Ireland. The scene closed the pathetic life-story of two inseparable girl companions, Brid- get Reman and Mary Doherty. The girls, who were Roman Ca- thalies, had grown up intimate friends and. neighbors from chrhd- hocd, and both were exceedingly popular in their district. But some time ago they both de- veloped consumption. By a remark- able coincidence they were both at- tacked by the fatal disease about the same time, and it made equal progress with each of them. It took | day. |other daily to the end, and believ- jed that their wish not to be sep- ;an ineurable turn in both a month lor So ago. Ytecognizing that they must pre- lpare for death, the companions, who had just turned twenty years of age, expressed 'the wish that it might overtake both on the same They communicated with each arated in life would be answered. And the most remarkable fact in the history followed ; both the. girls passed calmly away at the same hour. aauR tN ees STICKY BIRD TRAP.

After she is thor- oughly dry her feed should be of the best in quality and sufficient in quantity to enable her to lay on flesh. Here is where most dairy- men make their greatest mistake. They do not consider that a dry cow needs much feed since she has only herself to keep. At no time during the Jactation period will it | pay better to feed a cow well than while she is dry. 'The flesh sho gains while dry will cost for feed from six to ten cents per pound depending on the season, After freshening she will milk -- off this extra flesh in butter fat at from 25 to 30 cents per pound, giving you a prolit of from 300 to 500 per cent. on the cost of the extra feed it took to put this flesh on her. A mighty good investment, yet how few dairymen feed the dry cow much above a maintenancé ration unless she herself gets it from good pasture. In view of this I say feed her very liberally after she is dry. Corn, oats and bran, equal 'parts, make a good feed and all of these grains are available to nearly every dairyman. During the winter months a few pounds of such a mixture in addition to silage and clover hay, if you have both, will put a cow in fine con- dition. If she is on good grass 2 little of the above: grain mixturé will likewise help to put her in most excellent condition. Two weeks before freshening it might be wise to reduce the amount of corn meal and increase the bran. Say what you will about the cost of bran, it is the safest feed to give a cow about to freshen. At this period attention is necessary every day. Watch the udder develop; see that the cow lacks nothing to make her comfortable and gain in strength so that she can make up a fine udder. In winter the feed- ing of a little oil meal is almost necessary a few days before fresh- ening. Begin with one-fourth pound per day and increase by one- fourth pound per day up to one or one and a half pounds per Gay. Things will move along better by so doing, the after-birth will be expelled quickly, and the cow will regain her-strength in a short time after. After every two hours will keep the cow in better shape than milking her out completely in one operation, IT consider milking a cow clean im- mediately after calving a dangerous practice, It induees milk fever and other udder complications. Give her warm water for a day or so after soon as she will take it. this for a few days after. Take the ealf away within two days any- way. Watch the udder and begin increasing the feed very gradually if no bad symptoms appear.

GREEN MANURING., In the cultivation of land, especi- ally light soils, the system of green manuring, in order to sup- ply at the same time organic mat- ter and fertilizing material, is new recognized as an important factor. Peas, beans, and clover have all been utilized with suecess for. this purpose. On very rich soils the value of green manuring has yet te be proved. The latest scientific conclusions are: 1, Different crops suitable for green manuring in good soils must be subjected to careful trials in order to ascertain which is the best for the purpose. 2. The effects of different green manuring crops must be tested, not only by the immediately following crop, but - throughout the rotation. Green manuring has proved to be very ef- fective in the cultivation of roots not only increasing the bulk of the crop, but improving the quality of the roots. Oats also seems able to utilize the nitrogeneous material of the green manure, but some seasons the crop is liable to lodge, and. the advantage of the extra growth is thus sacrificed. Potatoes have shown yariable results with green manuring. As fegards the -- suita- adapted for green manuring crops. peas and beans answered very well but, according to experiments, are inferior to clover. The use of mus- should be carefully avoided, as its effect is distinctly unfavorable, as proved by reliable experiments. Green manuring is destined to play a more important part in soil culti- vation than it has hitherto done: and forms a subject that all farmers should study and find out by trials how they can best take adavantage of it. bes VANITY OF LIFE, How small a portion of our life itis that we really enjoy. In youth we are looking forward to things that are to come. In old age we are looking back to things that are gone past; in manhood, although we appear indeed to be more occu- pied in things that are present, even. that is taoveften absorbed in vague determinations to be vastly happy on some future day when we have time.
