The brojthren stood awhile bewildered, for it I n utrange thins thus to ome back from death to life. It was Wulf who poke the first. '"A noble deed, (Jodwin. Sultnn, we lire grateful for your boon of life, though had you shed this Innocent , blood surely it would have Btaiued your eoul." ' Outside that gloomy place of death their swords wore given them nnd two good boracM, which they mounted. Hence gulden led thorn to the embassy from Jerusalem that was already In the middle, who were very glad to welcome two such knights to their company. Then, having bid farewell to the blfthop Egbert, who wept for Joy at their escape, escorted for awhile by fctaladln's Roldlers, they rode away from Aaealon at the fall of night. Soon they had told each other all there was to tell. When he heard of the woe of Rosamund, Wuif well nigh ehed tears. "We hare our lives," he said, "but tow shall we save her? While Masouda stayed with her there was some hope, but now I can see none." "There Is none except in God," anwered Godwin, "who can do all things even free Rosamund and make her your wife. Also, If Masouda is at liberty, we shall hear from her ere long. Ho let us keep a good heart." But, though he spoke thus, the soul of Godwin was oppressed with a fear (which he could not understand. It seemed as though, some great terror came very close to him or to one who wan near nnd dear. Deeper and deeper ho sank into that pit of dread of he knew not what, until at length he could have cried aloud, and his brow was lathed with a sweat of anguish. Wulf saw his face in (the moonlight and nslml: "What alls you, Godwin? nave you tome stvret wound?" "Yes, brother," he answered, "a ou;:d la my uplrlt. Ill fortune threati .: usgreat ill fortune." "'lr.it Is no new thing," said Wulf, .' f !:l4 land of blood and sorrows. I t ut meet It as we have met the i :." brother," exclaimed Godwin, t . . .

hxt they would not. This embassy , had told him that they had sworn to perish with the holy places, and now, looking at It in its splendor, they knew I that the hour was near and groaned aloud. . Godwin groaned also, but not for Jerusalem. Oh. now the last terror was i tipon him! Blackness surged round I Mm, and in the blackness swords and ' n souud as of a woman's voice nm;tnnr'ng his name. Suddenly the an- I
g'lish passed. A strange wind seemed to blow about him and lift his hair, a
deep, unearthly peace sank into his spirit; the world seemed far away and heaven very urar. "It Is over," he said to Wulf. "I fear that lCo::unund is dead." "If so, we must make haste to follow her," answered Wulf, with a sob.
CHAPTER XXI. T the village of Bittlr, 6ome AriA seven miles from Jerusalem, X embassy dismounted to rest; then again they pressed forward down the valley In the hope of reaching the Zlon gate before the midday heat was upon them. At the pnd of this valley swelled the shoulder of a hill, whence the eye could comvtnand its length, and on the crest of that shoulder appeared suddenly a man and n woman, seated on beautiful horses. The company halted, fearing lest these might herald some attack and that the woman was a man disguised to deceive them. Wulf looked , ht them curiously and said to Godwin: "Almost could I think that those two horses were Flame and Smoke rc'wru. Note their whirlwind pace and strength nnd stride." Almost as he finished speaking the strangers pulled up their steeds In front of the company, to whom the man bowed his salutations. Then Godwin saw his face and knew him at once as the old Arab called Son of the Sand, who had given them the )rse8 Flame and Smoke. "Sir," said the Arab to the leader of the embassy, "I have 'come to ask a favor of yonder knlglits. This woman" and he pointed to the closely veiled shape of his companion "la a relative of mine whom I desire to deliver to friends in Jerusalem, but dare not do so myself because the hill dwellers be-

twce"n here and there are hostile to my tribe. She is of the Christian faith and no spy, but cannot speak your language. Within the south gate she will be met by her relatives. I have spoken." "Surely we will take her," said Godwin, "though what we shall do with her if her friends are wanting I do not know. Come, lady, ride between us." t;he turned her head to the Arab as though in question, and he repeated th words, whereon she fell Into the p!a;e that was shown to her between and a little behind the brethren. "Still, if so, I pray you of your knightly courtesy," went on the Arab to Godwin, "disturb not this woman with your words nor ask her to unveil
her face, since such is not the custom of her people. It is but an hour's journey to the city gate, during which you will be troubled with her. This is the payment that I ask of you for the two good horses Flame nnd Smote." "It shall be as you wish," said Godwin, "and, Son of the Sand, we thauk you for those horses." "Good. When you want more let It be known In the market places that you seek me." And he began to turn his horse's head. "Stay," said Godwin. "What do you know of Masouda, your niece? Is she with you?" "Nay," answered the Arab In a low voice, "but she bade me be In a certain garden of which you have heard, near Ascalon, at an appointed hour to take
her away, as she Is leaving the camp of Salah-ed-din. So thither I go. Farewell." Then with a reverence to the veiled lady he shook his reins and departed like an arrow. Godwin gave a sigh of relief. If Masouda had appointed to meet her uncle, the Arab, at least she must be safe. Then he looked up to find Wulf staring back at the woman behind him and reproved him, saying that he must keep to the spirit of the bargain as well as to the letter, and that If he might not speak be must not look either. "That Is a pity," answered Wulf, "for though she Is so tied up, she must be a tall and noble lady by the way she sits her horse. The horse, too, is noble, own cousin. or brother to Smoke, I think. Perhaps she will sell it when we get to Jerusalem." .Then they rode on and reached the gate of Jerusalem, w-hlch was crowded with folk awaiting the return of their ambassadors. They all passed through, and the embassy was escorted thence by the chief people, most of the multitude following them to know if they brought peace or war. ' . Now Godwin and Wulf stared at each other, wondering whither they were to go and where to find the relatives of their veiled companion, of whom they saw nothing. Out of the street opened an archway, and beyond this archway was a garden, which seemed to be deserted. They rode into it to take counsel. "Jerusalem Is reached, and we must speak to her now," said Wulf, "if only to ask her whither she wishes to be taken." Godwin nodded, and they wheeled their horses round. "Lady," he said In Arabic, "we have fulfilled our charge. Be pleased to tell us where are those kindred to whom we must lead you." "Here," answered a soft voice. Theu the lady let slip her cloak, though not her veil, revealing the robe beneath. "By St. Peter!" said Godwin. 'I know the broidery on that dress. Masouda! Say, is it you, Masouda?" As he spoke the veil fell also, and lo! before them was a woman like to Masouda and yet not Masouda. The hair was dressed like hers, the ornaments and the necklace made of the claws of the lion which Godwin killed were hers, the skin was of the same rich hue, there even was the tiny mole upon her cheek, but as the head was bent they could not see her eyes. Suddenly, with a little moan, she lifted it and looked at them. "Rosamund! It Is Rosamund herself!" gasped Wulf. "Rosamund disguised os Masouda!" And he fell rather than leaped from his saddle and ran to her, murmuring, "God, I thank thee!" Now she seemed to faint and slid from her horse into his arms and lay there a moment. "Yes," said Rosamund, freeing herself. "It is I and no other, yet I rode with you all this way and neither of you knew me." "nave we eyes that we can pierce veils and woolen garments?" asked Wulf indignantly, but Godwin said in a strange, strained voice: "You are Rosamund disguised as Masouda. Who, then, was that woman to whom I bade farewell before Saladin while the headsman awaited me a veiled woman who wore the robes and gems of Rosamund?" "I know not, Godwin." she answered, "unless it were Masouda clad in my garments as I left her. Nor da I know anything of this story of the headsman who awaited you. I thought I thought it was for Wulf that he waited oh. heaven, I thought that." "Tell us your tale," said Godwin hoarsely. "It Is short." she answered. "After the casting of the lot. of which I shall dream to my death day, I fainted. When I found my senses again I thought that I must be mad, for there before me stood a woman dressed In my garments, whose face seemed like my face, yet not the same. x (To be Continued.)

The State Gathering of the Order to Be HeM Soon at Indianapolis.
The most interesting meeting; of Modern Woodmen ever held by the camp of this state will be that at Tomlinson Hall, Indianapolis. May 18. All the camps in the central part of the state are to be represented, and a class of one thousand candidates will be adopted. Richmond Woodmen will charter an interurban car for the trip and will take the desree team and fifteen candidates, besides a number of members. The meeting of the camp next Monday night will be devoted largely to arranging for the trip, distribution of tickets, etc.
Radical changes are to be noted in the work for the common and high schools of Wayne county, outside of Richmorrd. now being outlined by Superintendent Jordan for the year 190G-Q7. The suggestions of the County Board of Education made at the meeting of that body last week are being carried out in f-iU. The changes affect all pupils oi:ts:de of Richmond, and it is expected that they will be a rource of much benefit. Next year there v.iH be but two terms, instead of throe as formerly. The first term will- onC at ihe Christmas holidays and the second at the
j close of school in the srln?. There
will be no monthly examinations as formerly, but a general examination at the end of the terms. These will cover fully the work of the foregsing three or fo'ir months. Hereafter, all high school graduates will be required to take an examination in the studies which have been included in the entire four year's course. Only diploma students have been in the-habit of taking these fin?.l examinations, but next year all will have to do so.
