2i RIDEIl Juthtr tf "She," "King CO PTRtCHT, 1903-190, CHAPTER XIX. WIIEN Hassan was dead, at a sign from Saladln a captain of the mamelukes named Abdullah unfastened the jewel from the emir's turban and handed It to Wulf. It was a glorious star shaped thing, made of great emeralds set around with diamonds, and the captain looked at It greedily and muttered: "Alas, that an unbeliever should wear the enchanted star, the ancient luck of the house of Hassan!" a saying that Wulf remembered. He took the Jewel, then turned to Baladin and said: "Have I your peace, sultan, after uch a deed?" "Whoever dies, you are safe," said Baladin. "There Is but one sin which I will not pardon you you know what It Is," and he looked at them. "As for Hassan, he was my beloved friend and servant, but you slew him in fair fight, end his soul Is now In paradise." Then dismissing the matter with a wave of his hand be turned to receive a great body of Christian prisoners that, panting and stumbling like overdriven sheep, were being thrust on toward the camp. Among tbem the brethren rejoiced to pee Egbert: also, wounded in many places, there was the black browed master of the Templars, who even now could be fierce and Insolent. "So I was right," he mocked In a husky voice, "and here you are, safe with your friends the Saracens, Sir Knights of the visions." "AH the vision la not done," said Godwin sadly, and, turning, he looked toward a blazoned tent which with the sultan's great pavilion, and not far behind It, was being pitched by the Arab camp setters. The master saw and remembered Godwin's vision of the dead Templars. "Is It there that you mean to murder me, traitor and wizard?" he asked. Then rage took hold of Godwin, and ' he answered him: "Were it not for your plight, here and ' now I would thrust those words down your throat, as, should we both live, 1 j yet shall hope to do. You call us : traitors. Is It the work of traltots to have charged alone through all this; host until our horses died beneath us" , he pointed to where Smoke and Flame 1 lay with glazing eyes "to have uuhorsed Saladln and to have slain this prince In single combat?" And ho; turned to the body of the emir Hassan. ; "You speak of me asl wizard and murderer," he went on, "because somet nngel brought n;e a vision which, hadj yon believed It, Templar, would have j . . i . . i. .1 m . l -i ,ileath, the Chrfstlau klugdom from tfottructlou and yonder holy thing from mne urrv " Ann. vrnn a cnniiiior no glanced at the rood, which Its captors had set up upon a rock not far away with a dead knight tied to its black arms. "You, Sir Templar, are the murderer who by your madness and ambition have brought ruin on the cause of Christ." Then Saracen guards dragged the Templar away, and they were parted. By now the pavilion was up, and Baladin entered It, saying: "Bring before me the king of the Franks and Trince Arnat, ho who is called Reginald of Chatillon." Then a thought struck him, and he called to Godwin and Wulf, saying: "Sir Knights, you know our tongue. Give 'up your swords to the officer they shall be returned to you and come, be my interpreters." So the brethren followed him Into the tent, where presently were brought the wretched king and the gray haired Reginald de Chatillon, and with them a few other great knights who, even in the midst of their misery, stared at Godwin and Wulf In wonderment Saladln read the look and explained lest their presence v Bhould be misunderstood: "King and nobles, be not mistaken. These? knights are my prisoners, as you are, and none have shown themselves braver today or done me and mine more damage. Indeed, had it not been for my guards, within the hour I should have fallen beneath the sword of Sir Godwin. ., But as they know Arabic, I have asked them to render my words into your tongue. Do you accept them as Interpreters? If not, others must be found." When they had translated this, the king said that he accepted them. ' The sultan bndo 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 baud gave It to King Guy. He drank in great gulps, then passed the bowl to Reginald de Chatillon, whereon Saladln cried out to Godwin: ' "Sny to the king it is he and not I Who gives this man to drink. There Is no bond .of salt between me and the Prince Arnat." Godwin translated, sorrowfully enough, and Reginald, who knew the habits of the Sarucens, answered: "No need to explain. Sir Knight. Those words are my death warrant. Well, I never expected less." Then Saladln spoke again. Trine Arnat, you strove to take the holy city of Mecca and to desecrate the tomb oftho prophet, and then I swore to kill you. Again, when In a time of peace a caravan came from Egypt and passed by Esh-Shobek, where you were, forgetting your oath, you fell upon them and slew them. Then for the nocund time I swore to kill you. Yet I give you one more chance. WUt you subscribe the Koran and embrace the.f nit h ot Iim or will rou die?' ANow the Hps of Regluald turned pnle, for a moment he swayed upon his saent. lucu His courage came hack to hlm.'iKT he Answered in a strong voice: "SulUm. I. a:Ul fcwe none ftf yoy -

HAGGARD, Solomon' t Mines," Ete. 0 o "BY RIDE'K HAGGARD mercy uTsuch a'prlce, nor 3b 1 bow lEe knee to your dog of a false prophet." Saladln sprang to bis feet, bis very beard bristling with wrath, and, drawing bis saber, shouted aloud: "You scorn Mohammed! Behold! I avenge Mohammed upon you! Take him away!" and be struck him with the flat of his scimiter. Then mamelukes leaped upon the prince. Dragging him to the entrance of the tent they forced him to his knees and there beheaded him. In the hush that followed this terrible deed King Guy said to Godwin: "Ask the sultan if It is my turn next." "Nay," answered Saladin. "Kings do not kill kings, but that truce breaker has met with no more than his deserts." - Then came a scene still more dreadful. Saladin went to the door of his tent and, standing over the body of Reginald, bade them parade the captlve Templars and Hospitalers before blm. "These also are faith breakers," he shouted, "and of their unclean tribes ' will I rid the world. Ho, my emirs and ' doctors of the law" and he turned to the great crowd of his captains about him "take each of you one of them and kill him!" Now the emirs hung back, for, ' though fanatics, they were brave and loved not this slaughter of defenseless men, and even the mamelukes murmured aloud. But Saladln cried again: "They are worthy of death, and he who disobeys my command shall himself be slain." - - "Sultan," said Godwin, "we cannot witness such a crime. We ask that we may die with them." "Nay," lie answered; "you have eaten of my salt, and to kill you would be murder. Get you to the tent of the Princess of Baalbec yonder, for there you will see nothing of the death of these Franks, your fellow worshipers." So the brethren turned and, led by a mameluke, fled aghast for the first time in their lives past the long lines Cf Templars and Hospitalers, who in the last red light of the dying day knelt upon the sand and prayed, while the emirs came up to kill them. They entered the tent, none forbidding them, and at the end of It saw two women crouched together on soma cushions, who arose, clinging to each other. Then the women saw also and Fprang forward whh a cry of Joy, saying: "So you live you live!" "Aye, RosanTund," answered Godwin, "to see this shame would God that we did not while others die. They murder the knights of the holy orders. To your knpes-ifrd pray for their passing souls." So they knelt down and prayed til. the tumult died away and they knew that all was done. Rosamund had little to toll, exeep'. that she had becu well treated nnd at ways kept by the person of the sultan, marching to nnd fro with bis army, for he awaited the fulfillment of his dream concerning her. Then they told her all that had chanced to them; also of the vision of Godwin nnd ita dreadful accomplishment and of the death of Ilasnan beneath the sword of Wulf. At that story Rosamund wept and shrank from him a little, for though it was this prince who had stolen her from her home she loved Hassan. Yet when Wulf said humbly: "The fault is not mine; it was so fated. Would that I had died instead of this Saracen!" Rosamund answered: "No, no. I am proud that you should have conquered." But Wulf shook his head and said: "I am not proud. Although weary with that awful battle, I was still tha younger and stronger man, though at first he well nigh mastered me by his fckill and quickness. At least we parted friends. Look, he gave me this," and he showed her the great emerakl badge which the dying prince had given him. "Do you know," asked Masouda' "that this jewel Is very famous, not only for its value, but because it is said to have belonged to one of the children of the prophet, and to bring good fortune to its owner? There is scarce a soldier In the sultan's army who would not give all he has for yonder trinket, which Is known throughout the land as the star of Hassan. So beware. Sir Wulf, lest you bo robbed or murdered, although you have eaten the salt ot Salah-ed-din." "I remember the captain Abdullah looking at It greedily and lamenting COMPLETED PORTION OF ,BE,-v. ft.

that we IvlcI CZ the liouSe of Uassaa should pass to an unbeliever," said Wulf. "Well, enough of this Jewel and Its dangers; I think Godwin has words to say." "Yes," said Godwin. "We are here In your tent through the kindness of Faladin, who did not wish us to witness the death of our comrades, but tomorrow we shall be separated again. Now, If you are to escape" "I will escape! I must escape, even If I am recaptured and die for it," broke In Rosamund passionately. "Speak low," said Masouda. "I saw the eunuch Mesrour pass the door of the tent, and he Is a spy they all are spies." Suddenly a shadow fell upon them. It was that of the head eunuch, Mesrour, a fat; cunning faced man, with a cringing air. Low he bowed before them, saying: "Your pardon, O princess., A messenger has come from Salah-ed-din demanding the presence of these knights at the banquet that he has made ready for his noble prisoners." "We obey," said Godwin, and, rising, they bowed to Rosamund and to Masouda, then turned to go, leaving the star jewel where they had been seated. Very skillfully Mesrour covered it with a fold of his robe and under shelter of the fold slipped down his hand and grasped it, not knowing that, although she seemed to be turned away, Masouda was watching him out of the corner pf her eye. Waiting till the brethren reached the tent door, she called out: "Sir Wulf, are you already weary of

ESCtPF FROM BAD FIRE iasthaven Had Blaze Yester-, day Afternoon That Damaged One Building. 300D WORK OF EMPLOYES PREVENTED DESTRUCTIVE CON FLAGRATION BY MEETING THE EMERGENCY VERY PROMPTLY PATIENTS REMOVED. Fire at Easthaven yesterday afternoon, threatened the destruction of "he large building used as a woman's lospital and, but for the prompt work of the employes of the institution, the ouilding and those closely surroundng it, might have been burned to the ground. The flames were first discovered in Ihe attic of the building. The alarm .-as sounded and the high pressure : umps started. The patients were removed and the employes worked for a long time before they conquered the olaze. The eaves of the building and attic were considerably damaged, and the veranda surrounding the structure was scorched. Water soaking through the floors damaged the ceil ings and walls in lower rooms to some extent. About forty patients were in the building at the time the fire was discovered. They were taken to other wards to be cared for until the damaged building is ready for usa again. The loss will be from $500 to $1,000. Tinners had been at work on tho roof of the building during the day, and the theory has been advanced that the coals from a tinner's furnace may have fallen on the roof and caused the blaze. WM.

E REQUEST OF BOARD OF WORKS Central Union Still Trying To Get Its Wire on Main Underground. MR. DAVENPORT'S OPINION HE THINKS CONDUIT MATTER WILL END UP BY THERE BEING DUCTS ON BOTH SIDES OF MAIN STREET. In accordance with the decision of the city council Monday night, that the board of public works must first act on the conduit matter before the council took any action, General Man ager Stickney and Local Manager Hutton, of the Central Union Telephone Company, yesterday made a formal application to the board for a franchise to place the wires of the company on Main street, from Third to Thirteenth streets, in conduits to be built by the company. Plans for this work were submitted. The board decided to take no action in the matter until these plans had been thoroughly, gone over by the members of the board and the city engineer. The board's decision in this matter will probably be reported to council at it3 next meeting. Will Put in Fire Wires. The representatives of the Central Union Telephone Company, stated to the board that in the event they were allowed to place their Main street wires underground, that the fire alarm wires would be allowed to be placed in the conduit ,and that the poles of i the company on Main street, would be allowed to stand for the use of the other wires controlled by the city, until the city was ready to go underground. It is probable that the board will act favorably on the petition of the Central Union Company if the company will consent to extend their conduit system east from Thirteenth to Fourteenth street. . . Mr. Davenport's Plan. One of the members of the board, J. F. Davenport, stated yesterday that he thought it practical to have the city build a single municipal conduit on Main street, in which both high and low tension wires could be placed, but he was inclined to believe that this course would not be adopted owing to the fact that the companies interested were almost unanimously gainst the project. "I think it will nd up by the building of two conduts," said Mr. Davenport, "one on the :orth side of Main street and one on che south side of the street. High tension wires could be placed in one of these conduits and low tension wires in the other." COURT HOUSE WAS BARE Things Combined to Make the County's Business House a Quiet Place Ycsterdayr The Court House was nearly deserted yesterday, in comparison with the busy times that it has seen for the part week or 'wo, Tax paying ended Monday night and the Treasurer's office wa3 quiet, although the clerks inside were busy checking up the bcoks. There was but a short ses sion of Court in the morning with few witnesses. The County Commission ers were in session, but were not in the Court House and the auditor's of fice was as still as a tomb. No new euita were filed and but a few mort gages and real estate transfers recorded. Altogether it looks as if the Court House has an acute attack of spring fever. Mrs. Marson Entertained.

A vast amount of work has been necessary to make this entrance U the canal passable for large vessels. Much of this work has been done by the aid of the old French dredges, one of which Is shown in the Illustration. Elaborate wharfs are now being constructed, and ships drawing 30 feet of ater can come alongside of these. This will greatly enlarge the shipping acilitles and expedite the unloading of vessels which has been such a serious carrier to the progress of the work on the Isthmus.

IN NATURE'S Bnried deep in our American forests, many years ago. Dr. Pierce found a beautiful, blooming plant the root of which possesses wonderfully efficacious properties as a stomach and general tonic, also as an alterative or blood purifier and liver invigorator, having an especial affinity for all mucous surfaces upon which it exerts a most salutary, soothing and healing influence. This sturdy little plaat is known to botanists as Hydrastis Canadensis, but has several local English names, being generally known as Golden Seal. Dr. Pierce found the root of this common forest plant to possess medicinal principles of great potency, especially when combined, in just the right proportions, with Queen's root, Black Cherrvbark, Stone root, Mandrake root and Bloodroot, the properties of each being extracted and preserved in chemically pure glycerine of proper strength. This compound Dr. Pierce named his "Golden Medical Discovery," in honor of the sturdy little Golden Seal plant. So little used was the root of this plant by the medical profession at that time, that it could be purchased in the open markets for from fifteen cents to twenty cents a pound. The use of manv tons of this root everv year in Dr. Pierce's two leading medicines for it enters into both "Golden Medical Discovery" and also into Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription as one of their most important ingredients has caused the price of the root to advance until to-day it commands upwards of a dollar and a hall a pound. DE. FIEKCE'S FAITH Dr. Pierce believes that in our native forest3 are to be found an abundance of most valnable medicinal plants for the cure of many distressing and most fatal maladies, if we would only seek

them out, test them and learn how . erable period cJ time in order to make and for what diseases to use them, the cure complete and permanent.

This is why so many unprejudiced physicians now prescribe them and recommend them to their patients when they would not think of advising the vm of a secret nostrum. They know what they are composed of, and that the ingredients are those endorsed by the most eminent medical authorities of all schools of practice. ALL RIGHTS FBOTKCTXD. The exact working formula for making Dr. Pierce's medicines without the nee of a drop of alcohol and preserving them unimpaired in any climate for any length of time, cost Dr. Pierce and his assistant chemists and pharmacists a tedious coarse, of study and experiments, extending over several years. With the use of chemically pore glycerine, of just the right strength, and with laboratory apparatus and appliance specially invented and designed to carry on the delicate processes employed, Dr. Pierce finally found that all the medicinal principles residing in the several native medicinal roots could be more perfectly e infracted and better preserved ' from fermentation than ii alcohol wae employed. Besides the glycerine, of itself, possesses the property of greatly enhancing the efficacy of the several medicinal agents employed, whereas alcohol is well known to be objectionable in any medicine to be employed in chronic or lingering diseases, where, at best, treat ment must be continued over a considtins honorable manner of conudmg to them what they are taking into their stomachs when making use of these medicines. standard medical works of all the different schools of practice, indorsing, in the strongest terms, alt the several ingredients entering into Dr. Pierce' medicines and telling what diseased these most valuable medicinal agent will cure, will be maiied free to ataddress by Dr. R.
