HE SAVED THE QUEEK.
In the Fourteenth century, In tho days
when thero wore knights, and when
those who committed great crimes in
England were burned at tho stake, thero
lived a king who had n boautl'ul queen,
as good as sho was lovely. All men ad.
mired her, but for her part sho thought
of no one but her husband, the king.
There was, howover, in the king's ser
vice a steward called Sir Aldingar, who
thought himself irresistible, and who did
all he could to cause the queen to smile
upon him. She. howover, knowing1 what
A true wlfo Should be, not only showed
herself unmoved by his smiles and sighs
and tender glances, but was brave
enough to rebuko him for tbem, and tell
him that If ho repeated his insolence sno
would inform tho king.
Tliis not only made Sir Aidingar furi
ous, but caused mm to tear that lie
might loss that place at court which
was so valuable to him.
He had good wages, and the favor of
the king. Moreover, no doubt, being
dishonorable In one direction, he was so
in all, and robbed his master of his
money as lie wished to rob him of his
wife's love. Therefore, he resolved to
bring the queen into disgrace, to mako
the king believe her falie to him, and
to compass her death if possible. The
queen who was untrue to her husband
In those days was burned at the 6take,
and the steward was fiend enough to en
deavor to bring this about, for, once
burned, the beautiful queen could never
harm him more.
She, for her part, thought that she had
asserted her dignity, and had no fear of
any harm coming to her.
Perhaps she should have denounced
tho steward to the kins, but 6he was
pitiful, and justice was prompt in those
days. The steward would have met
some fearful death. So she prayed to
heaven to keep her heart and her life
pure, and sat among her maidens teach
ing them to spin, and weave, and em
broider, and giving them, ono may be
sure, good counsel.
But Aidingar did not soften. On the
contrary, his wrath grew greater, and
his determination to do tho queen to
death stronger with every hour.
Now, the queen had a beautiful sum
mer bower, in which she sat alone at
times. It was hung with tapestry, and
rich rugs from the orient wero spread
upon the stone floor. Without the deep
windows were blooming vines, swayed
by every breeze that blew, and the birds
perched on the carven sills and pecked
the crumbs that the queen cast them;
and here not even the maidens entered.
No one ever camo there but the king,
and as the August days grew warm the
beautiful queen, in loose and graceful
dishabille, reclined upon her couch and
read her missal or sang to her luto until
the king came to rest there also.
Sir Aidingar knew this, and planned
accordingly.
There were minstrels in those dayB
men who traveled along the road with
lutes in their hands or harps on their
shoulders, and were fed and housed by
those for whom they played. There was
one who was handsome, young and
blind, who played tho lute divinely.
This man Aidingar met upon the road
one day and spoke kindly to him.
"Come with me," he said, "and you
shall meet a lady who will givo you
large alms and good entertainment, for
she is fond of music like yours."
And then he led the blind man, who
could not see where he was going, and
had no thought of treachery, into tho
good queen's summer bower,whero it was
a crime for any man to set foot, savo at
the royal bidding, and led him also to
the queen's couch, where lie bade him
rest himself until some ono caruo.
After this he sought the kins: and told
him that ho had sad tidings, which he
was loath to utter. However, the king
bade him speak boldly, and Aidingar,
with great show of sorrow, declared that
the queen had a lover; that she invited
a handsome blind minstrel to her sum
mer bower and there listened to his mu
sic. In fact, he made a very bad story
of it, and added that the minstrel was
now in the queen's bower.
The king, lashed to fury, Bworo ven
geance if the talo proved true, but added
that, if it were not, Aidingar should be
hanged upon agallows.and rushed away,
followed by the steward, to find Ids
queen.
Meanwhile the beautiful lady had gone
innocently to her bower aud, entering,
saw a man seated on her couch. She
knew him to be blind, and saw that he
was a wandering miuntrel, and her in
quiry as to how he camo there was lets
stern than it would have been to one
who could see.
The minstrel, hearing the lady's voice,
arose and answered that a most kindly
and courteous knight, or gentleman, had
brought him thither, saying that a lady
who loved the lute would listen to him
and recompense him.
"It could be no other than the king,
my husband," said the queen. "And
since It is his command, play for me."
Then, with her own hand, she led him
to a seat near by, that he might rest
there while he played; and as she did
so, tho door of the bower burst open and
In entered the king, followed by Aidin
gar. The beautiful wife-told the truth, tho
minstrel swore to his talo, but the king
was jealous; and, thinking himself de
ceived, ill used and insulted, doomed the
innocent queen and the poor minstrel to
be burned to death, and thanked Sir Ai
dingar for telling him of her ill doing.
So the queen was locked up in her
bower until the fatal day on which she
was to bo burned, with two trusty wait
ing women for company, and the min
strel was cast into a dungeon to bids his
time.
Now in those days there were knichts.
1 and the knights were under vows to pro
& -. i - . . .
toct ma i air lame or innocent ladles. If
one were accused of evil, a knight might
offer to tight her accuser; and, If he con
quered him, the peoplo of those days be
lieved that God had declared the lady
innocent by giving her knight the vic
tory, and no one dared to think her
guilty after that; and the waiting maids,
who knew their mistress chaste as Ice
and pure as snow, said to each other
that surely a knight could be found to
prove her innocent. One of them offered
to ride forth and seek a brave knight
with the red ribbon across his breast,
and Loyaute aux Dames for his motto,
who would prove the queen guiltless by
fighting Sir Aidingar.
The queen listened as she wept; a lit
tle hope revived in her bosom.
"Perhaps there may be a knight to
fight for me," she said. "I never be
lieved In dreams before; but now, alas!
I do, for but a few nights ago I dreamed
that as I sat upon my throne a, griffin de
scended and carried off my crown and
all my jewels; and then, as I sat shriek
ing. Ue returned and lifted me la his
aHBT stun eaaisj e i UswMt awl
there devour me; Dut just then tnere
arose a little white dove so mild you
would not think he oould harm a hum
ming bird -and he attacked thegriffln
and there killed him, and so saved me.
The priffln has come in Sir Aidingar.
Now perhaps the white dove may oomo
in the form of some truo knight. So ride
forth, Margaret, and seek him."
Then the damsel, Margaret, kissed her
queen's hand and went forth and rode
far and wide; but tho story that Aidin
gar told had gone forth. All believed
tho queen a wicked woman, deserving of
her fate. No knight offered to lylit Ai
dingar, for every ono thought that ho
had only done his duty. So the maiden
returned to the bower broken-hearted;
hut, riding through the woods, she met
a littlo boy a child so small and delicate
that, ho was not mora than a babe, and
clad In one white garment, over which
his golden hair fell to his waist.
"Why do you" weep, fair damsel? he
asked.
For something a child knows nothing
of," sho answered.
"Dry your tears, good damsel," replied
the child, "and tako this message to the
queen. Uiu Her remember her dream.
Bid her remember how, as tho griflln
would have borno her to his nest, tho little
white dove camo and saved her from its
claws. Tell her that Heaven knows her
innocence, and that it shall be proved."
Tho damsel was silent with astonish
ment, and tho child seemed to her wido
open oyes to vanish into air even as he
spoke.
Sho rode homo sadly, and her story of
the child in the wood was all tho com
fort sho could bring. And the day of
tho queen's death approached, and the
preparations were made for Iter death
and for that of the blind minstrel. Two
trees wore shorn of their limbs and wood
piled high about them and soaked with
oil, and the queen was led forth on one
hand and tho minstrel on tho other. All
that remained was to tie each to a stake
and flro the pile. But first the herald
must do his duty.
He, riding forth into tho open space
about tho stake, which was guarded by
soldiers, waved his hand, blew a blast
through his trumpet and uttered these
words, "If any knight desires to fight
for the lady now nbout to dio upon the
stako, let him speak, or ever after hold
his peace."
He paused; thero camo no answer.
Again ho repeated tho cry. Still silence.
And.no w, for the third and last time, the
words were uttered, and Sir Aidingar felt
his wicked heart begin to beat again, for
he feared tho justice of Ood, knowing
how evil wero his deeds, when, suddenly
whence no one knew a little white
clad figure stepped into the open space
the whito clad child Margaret had seen
in the woods. He stood and looked at
them with glorious eyes like stars, and he
lifted up his hands.
"I challenge Sir Aidingar to fight me
for tho good queen's lifo," he said. "I
stand here ready."
Then all saw in his hand a sword that
was not there before.
"Aldingarl" they called.
Aud the traitor Btepped forth and con
fronted the child.
"It is not fitting that I should fight so
small a child I" ho said.
"1 am large enough to avenge wrong,
as you shall see," replied the child.
And so, perforce, Aidingar produced
his blade; and the story goes that the
first stroke of tho child's sword pierced
ids body and lie fell, dying.
The priests surrounded him, holding
their crosses before his face, and to them
he made full confession of his sin and
begged the queen to forgive him.
Her answer was: "May Christ forgive
thee, Aidingar, as freely as I dor
Then the king clasped his wife in lila
arms, and besought her pardon; and the
tiny champion himself unloosed the
bonds of the blind minstrel, and kissed
him upon his eyes, which, at tho kiss,
received their sight again; and, after
I wards, the king tnado him one of his
' knights, and exalted him to great favor.
But as for tho tiny champion, no one
ever knew just how he departed, or ex
actly at what moment. Only, suroly
there was a strange music in the air,
and a rustling as of the wings of unseen
angels, and a great mass was said, and
j the story or the miraclo was recorded by
the monks, who found tho sword with
which the queen's honor was defended
upon the ground, and enshrined it anion:?

Tndigestion
IS not only a distressing complaint, ot
itself, but, by causing tho blood to
become depraved and the system en
feebled, is the parent of Innumerable
maladies. That Ayer's Sarsaparllla
is tho best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by tho following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, ol Brockway
Centre, Mich.:
"Liver complaint and indigestion
mnrlo my life a burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could bo digested at
all. Within the ttmo mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re
llel. Nothing that I took seemed to do
any permanent good until I commenced
the use of Ayer's Sarsaparllla, which
has produced wonderful results. Boon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa
rllla I could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
nnd with It camo tho ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength Im
proved each day, nnd after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given mo a
new lease of life."

ed with a solution of ona-half pound of
glue to a gallon of water.
A mortar which, it is claimed, will
stand in all sorts of weather, is made of
ono bushel of unslacked limo and three
bushels of sharp sand, to which is added
ono pound of alum mixed with ono pint
of linseed oil. The alum will counteract
the action of frost on the mortar.
A fact which is well worth knowing,
especially in the winter, is that tho for
mation of steam on gloss is prevented by
a thin coat of glycerine on both sides of
tho glass. This is very useful knowledge
for sailors, and also for surveyors who
have to use their instruments in foggy
weather.
Tho most successful method of de
stroying black ants that infest a house
is to pour kerosene down their holes,
which will bo found near tho house
somewhere. Set it on fire, and throw
over all a wet pad or old blanket. In
this way a complete colony may bo
wiped out.
An exchange says: Pour one table
Bpoonful of clear solution of tannin (a
heaped teaspoonful of tannin to a gill of
rain water) into a tumbler full of the
suspected water. If no turbidity occurs
within flvo hours the water is good; if
turbidity occur within one hour the water
Is' decidedly unwholesome
For softening the hands, take one-half
cupful of glycerine, ono cupful of r060
water, one-half teaspoonful spirits of
camphor. First put camphor in tho bot
tle, then glycerine, nnd shake well be
fore adding the rose, water. Apply after
washing tne hands and wliilo still wet.
Rub in well, then wipe with a soft towel.
To tako iron rust out of white goods.
pour ateacupfulof boiling water; stretch
the goods tightly across the top of it;
then pour on a littto of the solution of
oxalic acid dissolved in water, and rub
it with the edge of a teaspoon or any
thing, it it does not come out at once,
dip it down into the hot water and rub
again.
To tako out machine grease use rain
water and soda. To removo oil and var
nish from silk try benzine, ether and
soap very cautiously. To take out paint
mix equal parts of ammonia and tur
pentine. Saturate tho spot two or three
times, then wash out In soapsuds. Paint
can sometimes be rubbed out of woolen
goods after it has dried.
MEN OF LETTERS.
Lord Tennyson is writing an elegiac
on ltobcrt Jirowning.
LewU Morris is regarded in England
as the heir apparent to the laureateshlp.
The late Robert Browning was very
lonu ot using American phrases in con
versation.
John O. Wbittier, the aged poet, re
cently refused $3,000 from a magazine
tor a short (Juristmas poem.
The latest figures of the sale of Ed
ward Bellamy's "Looking Backward'
give 215,000 copies as the total.
Three years ago Archibald Clavering
uunter was unknown as a novelist,
Now Iii3 books are read everywhere, and
lie 13 siuo.wu ahead.
Frank R, Stockton, who stands at the
head of American short story writers, is
a thin, intellectual looking man, with a
fascinating smile and a pleasing mode of
conversation. Ue is a typical American
in appearance, of the highly strung,
nervous kind.
Grant Allen, the novelist, is a tall, doll
cate looking, clear faced man of demo
cratic ideas, and is not above taking
literary advice 'from anonymous corre
spondents. Ho has views of his own on
every other possible topic, religious, so
cial, political, ethical, psychological, bio
logical and philosophical.
Ludovio Halevy, member of the French
academy and author of many successful
books and playn, says that his daughter
lamented to him that she had never rend
a line that he had written: for tho m-
rental edict had gone forth to that ef
fect. Moved by her complaints, he set
himself to write a story for her especial
behoof, and the result was "The Abbs
Coustantin,"
M, Zola describes his mode of working
thus: "X am as regular as clockwork.
Every morning I write four pages of
manuscript no moro, no less. That
makes about eight hundred words, and
Is all I caii do in a day and do it well.
As I take a year for each ono of my
novels, you see I have plenty of titno at
that rate. Of course a large part of my
work has been done before I tako up the
pen, and what I write tho lirst tiino goes
to the printers with few erasures. No,
I never dictate, but write every lino of
my books with my own hand."
THE LATEST IN STATIONERY.
Three racing skills all in a bunch with
oarsmen pulling for dear life makes a
neat silver bronze paper weight.
A candle end, a half used stick of seal
ing wax, two burnt matches and a mouso
are the details of a unique bronze paper
weight
Realism in extenso is seen in a pair of
old boots out at the toes and down at tho
heels, which servo as a hanging receptacle
for matches.
A card receiver simulates a shallow
wicker basket in white silver bronze; on
the rim Is a cute, saucy little wren In
natural colors.
A Chinese mandarin with long pig
tall, mustache, almond eyes, and finger
laid agains( his nose makes a unique
paper knife; his lonor skirts form the
iilade. ' '

"Do you keep ttatbnery herer asked
a young woman of a dlerk in a variety
