THE BRETHREN:' A -ROMANCE…
THE BRETHREN: A ROMANCE OF THE CRUSADES. [BY RIDER HAGGARD.] CHAPTER XV.-Continued. I The Flight to Emesa. I For a mile or more Maaonda led them along the rocky bottom of the gulf, where because of the stones they could only travel at a foot pace, till they came to a deep cleft on the left hand, up which they began to ride. By now the moon wae quite behind the mountains, and such faint light as came from the stars began to be obscured with drifting clouds. Still, they stumbled on till they reached a. little glade where water Tan and grass grew. "Halt," said Masouda. "Here we must wait till dawn, for in this darkness the horses cannot keep their footing on the stones. Moreover, all about us lie preci- pices, over one of which we might fall." "Bat they will pursue us," pleaded Rosa- mund. "Not until they have light to see by," answered Masouda; "or at least we must take the risk, for to go forward would be mad- ness. Sit down and rest awhile, and let the horses drink a little and eat a mouthful of grass, holding their reins in our hands, for we and they may need all our strength before to-morrow's sun is set. Sir Wulf, say, are you much hurt?" I "But very little," he answered in a cheer- ful voice; "a few bruises beneath my mail- that is all, for Lozelle's sword was heavy. Tell us, I pray you, what happened after we rode away from the castle bridge." "This, knights. The princess here, being overcome, was escorted by the slaves back to her chambers, but Sinan bade me stay with him awhile that he might speak to you through me. Do you know what was in his mind? To have you killed at once, both of you, whom Lozelle had told him were this lady's lovers, and not her brothers. Only he feared that there might be trouble with the people, who were pleased with the fight- ing, so held his hand. Then he bade you to the supper, whence you would not have returned; out when Sir Wulf said that he was hurt, I whispered to him that what he wished to do could best be done on the morrow at the wedding-feast, when he was ¡ in his own halls, surrounded by his guards. 'Ay,' he answered, 'these brethren shall fight with them until they are driven into the gulf. It will be a goodly sight for me and my queen to see.' "Oh! horrible, horrible!" said Rosamund; while Godwin muttered: "I swear that I would have fought, not with his guards, but with Sinan only." "So he suffered you to go, and I left him also. Before I went he spoke to me, bidding me bring the princess to him privately within two hours after he had supped, as he wished to speak with her alone about the ceremony of her marriage on the morrow, and to make her gifts. I answered aloud that his commands should be obeyed, and hurried to the guest-castle. There I found your lady recovered from her faintness, but mad with fear, and forced her to eat and drink. "The rest is short. Before the two hours were gone a. messenger came, saying that the AI-je-bal bade me do what he had com- manded. '"Return,' I answered; 'the priifcees idorns herself. We follow presently alone, ts it is commanded.' "Then I threw this cloak about her and bade her be brave, and, if we failed, to choose whether she would take Sinan or Death for lord. Next, I took the ring you had, (she Signet of the dead Al-je-bal, who gave it to your kinsman, and held it before the slaves, who bowed and let me pass. We came to the guards, and to them again I showed the ring. They bowed also. but when they saw that we turned down the passage to the left and not to the right, as we should have done to come to the doors of the inner palace, they would have stopped 'Acknowledge the Signet,' I answered Dogs, what is rt to you which road the Signet takes?' Then they also let us pass. Now, following the passage, we were %.t of the guesthouse and in the gardens and I 100 ^1, what is called the prison tower [All Rights Reserved.] whence runs the secret way. Here were' more guards, whom I bade open in the laame of Sinan. They said: 'We obey not. This place is shut save to the Signet iteelf.' 'Behold itV I answered. The officer looked and said: 'It is the very Signet, euro enough, and there is no other.' Yet he paused, studying the black at-one veined with the red dagger and the ancient writing on it. 'Are you, then, weary of life?' I asked. Tool, the Al-je-bal himself would keep a tryst within this house, which he enters secretly from the palace. Woo to you if he does not find his lady there!' 'It is the Signet that he must have sent, sure enough,' the captain said again, 'to disobey which is death.' 'Ay, open, open,' whispered his companions. "So they opened, though doubtfully, and we entered, and I barred the door behind us. Then, to be short, through the darkness of the tower basement, guiding ourselves by the wall, we crept to the entrance of that way of which I know the secret. Ay, and along all its length and through the rock door of escape at the end which I set so that none can turn it. save skilled masons with their tools, and into the cave where we found you. It was no great matter, having the Signet, although without the Signet it had not been possible to-night, when every gate is guarded." "No great matter'" gasped Rosamund. "Oh, Godwin and Wulf! If you could know how she had thought of a.nd made ready everything! If you could have seen how all those cruel men glsued at us, searching our very souls! If you could have heard how high she answered them, waving that ring before their eyes and bidding them to obey its presence or to die!" "Which they surely have done by now," broke in Masouda quietly, "though I do not pity them, who were wicked. Nay, thank me not; I have done what I promised to do, ¡ neither less nor more and-I love danger and a high stake. Tell us your story, Sir I Godwin." So, seated there on the grass in the dark- ness, he told them of their mad ride and of the slaying of the guards, while Rosamund raised her hands and thanked Heaven for its mercies, and that they were without those accursed walls. "You may be within them again before sunset." said Masouda griirly. "Yes," answered Wulf, "but not alive. Now what plan have you? To ride for the coast towns P" "No," replied Masouda; "at least not straight, since to do so we must pass through the country of the Assassins, who by this day's light will be warned to watch for us. We must ride through the deeert mountain lands to Emesa, fifty miles away, and cross the Orontes there, then down into Baalbec, and so back to Beirut." Emesa?" said Godwin. Why, Saladin holds that place, and of Baalbec the lady Rosamund is princess." "Wbich is best?" asked Masouda shortly. "That she should fall into the hands of Salah-ed-din, or back into those of the master of the Assassins? Choose which you wish." "I choose Salah-ed-din," broke in Hosa- mund, "for at least he is my uncle, and will do me no wrong." Nor, knowing the case desperate, did the others gainsay her. Now at length the summer day began to break, and, while it was still too dark to travel, Godwin and Rosamund let the horses graze, holding them by their bridles. Masouda, also, taking of the hauberk of Wulf, doctored his bruises as best she could with the crushed leaves of a bush that grew by the stream, having first washed them with water, and though the time was short tiius eased him much. Then, so soon 1GB the dawn was grey, having drunk their fill and, as they had nothing else, eaten some water- cress that grew by the stream, they tightened their saddle girths and started. Scarcely had they gone a hundred yards when from the gulf beneath, that was hidden in grey mists, they heard the sound of horses' hoofB and men's voices. "Push on," said Masouda; "Al-je-bal is on our tracks." (To be continued.)
To-day's Short Story. i
To-day's Short Story. i SHE WORE THE RING. "What is the matter with you, Prank?" j said 1; "I never saw you look so sulky before." "Sulky!" Framk repeated. "I'm in trouble, end you have no sympathy with me. So much for friendship." He took something from his pocket, and held it out to me. It was a. ring-a. cluster diamond. "She sent that back last week," he said. And he rolled over in the grass and hid his face. "Oh! go and make up with her, Framk," said I. "I've tried," said Frank; "She won't speak to me—she won't look at me. She sends my letters back unopened. No; it's over, and I shall never be good for anything again." He seemed to mean it. "She's gone to Washington," sadd he; "and they say an old Senator is making love to her. She'll marry him; I know it's out of spite, but she'll do it." "Go after her and cut him out," said L I start to-morrow for Mexioo-a. business engagement, signed and contracted for. I'm to make the sketches for the work on a certain part of the country, and I hope I'll never come back," said Frank. I never saw anyone look so desperate. "Frank," I said, if you are really as mad about this girl as you say you are, I'll promise you to go after her myself, force her to be reasonable, and coax her to make up with you." He shook his head. "You're a dear, good fellow," he said. "I don't believe any other fellow living would do so much for a friend; I don't, indeed. And, Jack. look here; I shall be down in Mexico soon, you know. Write to me, but don't mention her unless you should per- form a mi-racle. Then-then-oh, good heavens! telegraph to me; send me these words, She wears it,' and I'll fly through fire and water or blood to her side!" "Wears what, Frank?" I asked. Oh," said he. I feel as though you could read my thoughts. This ring; take it with you. If she ever says, I'll forgive him,' say, "Then put his ring on again.' And when she does All right," said 1. And he kissed the diamond and put it in a little bo* and transferred it to me. "And now her naire and address?" You don't even know that," he cried. I did not tell him that he was desperately in love with another girl when we met last. He was in real trouble, and I did not think it right to joke with him, and he wrote the lady's name, Jeannetto Donald," and the hotel where her people were stopping on a card, and said again: "No use, Jack, no use; she said she could never trust me again. She meant it." A week from that time I was in Washing- ton, and Frank was on his way to Mexico, and I had called on Mr. Donald on a business matter concocted by my father to help me out. I had then been introduced to Miss Donald. She was a. beautiful blonde, with golden hair and violet eyes, and the sweetest smile, and a little pensive way that made me fancy that she regretted Frank. But I was very artful. I laughed and •lanoed with her, and walked with her, and talked with her, and made her acquaintance very thoroughly before I ever mentioned Frank. At last one day I said: "You know Frank Ludwig, do you not, Miss Donald? I've heard him speak of you." "I was once slightly acquainted with Mr. Ludwig," she replied. I worked hard for Frank's sake to keep other fellows away from Miss Donald and. to make her like me and feel that I was a friend, when, with a horror which I have no words to express, I suddenly discovered t)-.t I had fallen in love with her myself. You see it was the first time I had been so much alone with a. beautiful girl, and she was the realisation of my ideal of woman's beauty, with her golden hair and heavenly eyes, and—a thousand other things. How- ever, I was not a false rascal. Conscious as I was of my own feelings. I dared delay no longer, and that very evening I took my way to Mr. Donald's house, determined to plead for Frank as though he were myself. She was alone at the piano, playing softly, when I entered their private parlour. She held out her hand to me. I took it, and could not help holding it longer than I ought. Miss Jeannebte," I Fmid. "I have a oon- fession to make. My acqxintance with you seemed to come about almost accidentally; ■but the truth is that I came from New York •on purpose to know you." "Is it pomible?" said she. blushing like a I Yes, indeed, Miss Donald," I said, I **ked you once if you knew my friend. Frank Olbod You onze i I gtadwic; he jrhor oeed Jo taifc so much sumi you. Oh, Miss Donald, you are so sweet, so fair, you look so gentle. How can you be so cruel?" "I cruel! I do not know what you mean, Mr. Leslie," Jeannette cried. "When a woman has won a man's heart, is it right to cast him away—to doom him to despair." I said. My purpose in seeking you out was from the first to ask you to put this ring on your finger." I was about to say "once more," when a hearty slap upon my shoulder startled me. Come, come," said Mr. Donald-he was a man with a loud voice and a Scotch accent— -me, come. You're been very sly, young folks, but I was the same in my time, and I'm not sure I'll object!" 'WIeTK>t been sly, papa," s?? J<?-n<A?. "Jack has never said a word to me before." v1'' it on Jad," said t?e old gentleman; "put it '? he finger, ?? my blessing on ye oohn. What could I do? I put the ring on Jeannette's finger. Nothing elBe was possible. The old gentle- man left us together, her head sunk on my shoulder. I have often wondered what she thought of me, for I ??' uttered another word the whole evening. As soon as I decently could I got away. I adored her; I knew that I should be miser- able without her, but I could not play the pa.rt of a rascal. Having stolon Frank's diamond rimg and given it away might have been rather bad, from a detective's point of view, but I did not think of that. It would seem to him that I had been false, cowardly, treacherous, and had won his Jennie after promising to make aJl right between them. I could never tell Jennie the truth after all she said to me that night—things that would have made me the happiest of men if I had dared to be—and as I walked home- ward I decided to shoot myself and end it all. I was in an indescribable state of mind, for I loved life, and saw it bright and glow- ing before me—but for my lost honour. As I entered the hotel I turned and gave a, last look at the beautiful street. Before morning my eyes would close on the beauti- ful world for ever. "There's a message for y" ou," said the clerk as I passed the office. I turn-ed and took it. It was from the city of Mexico- from Frank, of course. I tore it open. These were the contents: "Don't go further with that matter. I'm married." So was I when next he heard from me.

I Cardiff Corporation. I RE-ORGANISATION OF DEPARTMENTS At a. meeting of the finance committee of the Cardiff City Council to-day Mr. Alloook, city treasurer, said he would lik4 to see a re-organisation of the departments before the offices were transferred. to the new Town-hall. Mr. H. C. Vivian: I should like to see some arrangement in regard to stationery, because I believe great economy could be brought about. The Chairman (Mr. F. J. Beavan) was requested to see Mr. W. L. Yorath, Deputy- Lord Mayor, with a view of getting an early meeting of the general purposes committee to consider the report of the departments committee, of which Mr. Yorath is chairman. In answer to a question, Mr. AH-oook said he had seen the report of the departments com- mittee, and, although he oould not agree with it from cover to cover, in the main he approved the recommendations. Alderman E. Thomas: You agree with the appointment of city treasurer, I expect. Mr. Allcock: Undoubtedly. (Laughter.) Mr. C. F. Sanders thought the council should not be allowed to pass the report before the chief officer of the finance com- mittee had a.n opportunity of considering it, and making any suggestions he thought advisable. Alderman E. Thomas Who is going to stop the council if they think fit to pass the report? Mr. Allcock said it was impossible to get away from tho fact that an important element in the report was the adverse criticism of the officials. He wanted to remove that if possible, and he would rather remove it in his own way than by any law laid down. The Chairman undertook to ask Mr. Yorath to invite the city treasurer to the next meet- ing of the departments committee in order that he may have an opportunity of express- ing his views on the various recommenda- I tions.

I Another discussion on the question of getting bank orders for workmen's weekly wages took pla?c at a meeting of the Car- diff Corporation Finance Committee to-day. Mr. Alloook, the city treasurer, eaid he pre- ferred an order for the exact, rather than l'-Il- -fimated amount, because he did not like X200 or £ 300 floating about the office, but if an order for the exact amount was to be obtained it was necessary tha.t it should be signed by three members of the council every Friday morning. Tho Chairman (Mr. F. J. Beavan): That moans that we must have a. weekly meeting or its equivalent in the form of a rota. Mr. Allcock: Not necessarily. Any three members of the council can sign the order. On the motion of the Chairman it was resolved that Mr. Allcock's suggestion be adopted, but that for the first two or three weeks three members of the finance commit- tee will be required to sign the order, and if any difficulty arises the council will be asked to allow any three maecmbere of that body to sign.

TO STOP SQUEAKING BOOTS. A curious custom was observed yesterday at Old Weston, in Hunts. The village church is dedicated to St. Swtthin, and many gene- rations ar;o a donor left a field to the parish clerk for the time being on condition that the land was mown immediately before the festival of the p-atronal saint, and the cnt- ting strewn on th-e floor of the church on feast Sunday. The custom is supposed to have originated from the fact thakt on feast Sunday the parishioners wore new boots, and the hay was intndoed to stop the squeak- ing incidental to new footwear. The hay was duly Laid down yesterday.

This story of a sun-stricken lady's suffer- ings, and her restoration to health by Bile Beans, aptly illustrates the imminent health- perils of the hot wea-ther and the potency of Bile Beans in all cases where the orga.na of digestion amd nutrition are affected. Madame Ida Buchanan, a well-known elocutionist, interviewed, a.t her home, 95. Kings wood-road, Goodmayes, Lond-cn, by a "Romford Express" reporter, said:— Whilst spending a holiday with my hus- band a.nd family at Margate, I was ■prostrated wit.h a severe sunstroke. I was confined to bed for five days. The illnees seemed to upset all my digestive organs, and the more sight of food was repu-sive to me. When I got home I was placed under the oaro of a local doctor. For six weeks I suffered excruciating pains in my head, so muoh so that my friends thought I should lose my reason. I could not sleep, my memory was impaired, my nervous system was deranged, a.nd my friends despaired of my recovery. One day I was advised to try Bite Beans, and after I hod finished the, second box my appetite returned, the pains in my head vanished, and my spirits began to revive. I can now eat anything, and never felit to well in. my life." Bile Beans, a pure, potent, and perfect may be obtained of all chemists, aA lB. 1;d. per box, or ts. 3d. for triple size. e9551

I "He Had Been Drugged" I I NEWPORT MATE AND HIS WIFE. At Newport to-day Charles Haelett, aged 50, stated to be mate on board a. steam tug, was charged on reman.d with assaulting his wife, Rose Ha-slett, by striking her on the head with a piece of iron at 78, Lime-strect on Saturday, July 7th. Mrs. Haslett said it was a case of the drink. Her husband never said a word, and there had been, no quarrel at or near the time of the occurrence. Whilst she was putting a penny in the slot gas meter about midnight she felt something on her head and shoulder. She thought it was a. knife. There was no one else in the house but her hu&band. She tried to find out what had happened and jumped through the window into the street. After going some little dis- tance she fell down i- a fainting condition. She had before that heard her husband say he would rip her up, and found that she had bean hit on the head and shoulder with an. iron instrument for repairing boots. For a week she had been under surgical treatment. Ha-slett told the magistrates that he did not remember anything about the matter, and had come to the conclusion that he had been drugged. The Bench fined him L3, or a month's imprisonment.

THE CLAIM OF MALTED MILK is the claim cf an universal food, with which there is nothing to compare in any market of the world. It is the only complete milk food, and it appeals to all ages and conditions of life. It replaces mother's milk in infancy, and can be used from the moment of birth. It is a. valuable adjunct to mother's milk, and the best food and drink for nursing mothers. It is an ideal diet for growing children, both in and out of health, as it in- creases stamina and causes the healthy development of bone, brain and muscle. It is milk in its best form for invalids and delicate people. Of all chemists, grocers and stores, price 1-?. 6d. and 28. 6d. per bottle.

Unemployed Squatters.I
Unemployed Squatters. HUMOURS OF-THE PLAISTOW RAID I A red flag now waves over the out-of-work encampment at Plaiskrw. The latest development in connection with the seizure of the land is the arrest of one of the squatters on a charge of pestering people with a, collection box. Yesterday morning the camp had increased in size from eighteen to 26 men, and a pro- minent police officer told a "Daily Chronicle" representative that he knew the majority of them to be honest men who would work if they had the chance. The camp is not without its humorous side. A property owner whose fence adjoins one side of the field has printed on it in huge letters: "What will the harvest be?" Coun- cillor Cunningham, who has made himself leader of these revolutionary tactics, has added the reply: One month's hard." Throughout yesterday large numbers of people were attracted to the place, and two processions of men from the north and south of the borough marched to the camp to show their sympathy. During the morning a public meeting was held, and a speech vras delivered by Mr. C. Mowbray, who last year led the unemployed to the workhouse gates. Mr. Mowbray urged the men to hold to the ground, and informed the audience that they were going to begin planting torday. He appealed for money to build a lavatory and oookhouse. Throughout England that hand- ful of men were being watched, and the authorities feared that these revolutionary methods would spread like wildfire.
: FOOTBALL EXTRAVAGANCE.
FOOTBALL EXTRAVAGANCE. Statements a8 to the increase in extrava- gance among boys travelling about the country to play matches with other schools were made at a meeting of the Engiish Schools Football Association at Birmingham on Saturday. Mr. J. Adams complained of the extrava- giant expenditure incurred last year in taking, teams about the country. On one oocasion a, team of schoolboys was taken to a first-class hotel, and the teachers stayed there aJeo, though they had offers of accom- modation from other teachers resident in the town. The luncheon charges had grown tremen- dously, said Mr. Key, M.A. Previously teams used to take sandwiches with them, and get coffee or milk at the other end, but now expensive luncheons were purchased. This was not only unfair to the association, it was also bad for the OOYB. ——————————————
