Saladln lifted bis bead and looked at Italian. "Tell me," be wild, "what of the Princess of Baalbec, whom you know as the ludy ItOHamuud D'Arcy? I told .you that I would speak no more with you of the safety of Jerusalem until she was delivered to me for Judgment." "Sultan," answered Ballan, "wo found this lady iu the convent of the Holy Cross, wearing the robe of a novice of that order. She had taken the sanctuary there by the altar which we deem so Bacred and Inviolable, and refused to come." Saladin laughed. "Cannot all your men at arms drag one maiden from an altar stone? Unless, Indeed, the great knight Wulf stood before it with sword aloft," he added. "So be stood," answered Dalian, "but It was not of him that we thought, though assuredly he would have slain some of us. To do this thing would have been an awful crime, which we were sure must bring down the vengeance of our God upon us and upon the city." "Listen, now," Saladin said at length. "Let the princess, my niece, come to me and ask It of my grape, and I think that I will grant you terms for which, in your plight, you may be thankful." ' "Then we must dare the great sin and take ber" answered Dalian sadly, "having first slain the knight Wulf, Who will not let her go while be is alive." "Nay, Sir Dalian; for that I should be sorry, nor wils I suffer It, for though a Christian he Is a man after my own heart. This time I said 'Let her come to me,' not 'Let her be brought.' Aye, come of her own freo will to answer to me for her sin against me, understanding that I promise her nothing, who in the old days promised her much and kept ray word. Then she was the Princess of Baalbec, with all the rights belongingrt,tUat great rank, to whom I had sworn that no husband should be forced upon her nor any change of faith. Now I take back these oaths, and if she comes she comes as an escaped cross worshiping slave, to whom I offer only the choice of Islam or of a shameful death." . "What highborn lady would take such terms?" asked Ballan In dismay. "Rather, I think, would she choose to die by her own hand than by that of your hangman, since she. can never abjure her faith." "And thereby doom 80,000 of her fellow Christians, who must5 'ceom- . nfinv hor in thn ilootli " n i, ifTtrb.X fiat.

vidln sternly. "Know, Sir Ballan, I swear it before Allah and for the last not come of her own free will, unforced by any, Jerusalem shall be put to sack." "Then the fate, of the holy city and all its Inhabitants hangs upon the nobleness of, a single wotuan?" stammered Ha linn. "Ave. unou the nnhlpnoss nf lncrli woman, us my vision told me It should be. If her spirit Is high enough Jerusalem mny jet be saved. If It be baser than I thought, as well may chance, then assuredly with her It is doomed. I have no more to say, but my envoys shall ride with you, bearing a letter, which with their own hands they must present to my ulece, the Princess of ' Baalbec. Then she can return with them to me, or she can bide where she Is, when I shall kuow that I saw but a lying vision of peace and mercy flowing from her hands and will press on this war to its bloody end." It was night, and in their lamp lit chapel the Virgins of the Holy Cross upon bended knees chanted the slow and solemn "Miserere." From their hearts they sang, to whom death and , dishonor were so near, praying their Lord and the merciful Mother of God to have pity and to spore them and the inhabitants of the hollowed town where ho had dwelt and suffered, and to lead them safe through the shadow of A fate so awful as his own. They . knew that the end was near; that the trails were tottering to their fall. . Then would come the sack and the slaughter, either by the sword of the Baraceus, or, perchance. If these fraud, 'time and they were uot forgotten. ::ioro mercifully at the hands of ChrNUaa wen, who thus would save them from the worst. Their dirge ended, the abbess rose fend addressed them. "My daughters in the Lord," she laid, "the doom is almost at our door, ind we must brace our hearts to meet It If the commanders of the city do What they have promised they will lend some here to behead us at the lust, and co we shall pass happily to plory and be ever with the Lord. But perchance they will forget us, who are but a few among 80.000 souls, of whom lome r0,000 must thus be killed. Or

.Hood's Sarsaparilla Has cured so many cases that seemed almost beyond the reach of medicine, that people ask, Why? An examination of our well-known formula from which Hood's Sarsaparilla is and always has been carefully and scientifically prepared, confirms the fact that it contains those well-known and valuable medicinal ingredients, which, when intelligently combined and properly administered, are sure to bring about good results. It is the properly balanced proportion, combination id process in combining those ingredients known to have specific action upon the blood, stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, which make Hood's Sarsaparilla peculiar to itself and enable it to produce results unequaled by any similar medicine. It cures when others fail. Give it a trial. Usual form, liquid, or new form, tablets, 100 Doses One Dollar.

their arms may grow weary or themselves they may fall before ever they reach this house, and what, my daughters, shall we do then?" . "My mother," said Rosamund, "I am a newcomer among you, but I have seen the slaughter of Ilattln, and ! know -what befalls Christian women and children among the unbelievers. This Is my counsel: When we know that the Saracens are in the city,, let us set fire to this convent and get us to our knees and so perish." ; "Well spoken; it 13 best," muttered several. But the abbess answered wtjh a sad smile: v "High counsel indeed, such as migk be looked for from high blood. Yet may not be taken, since self slaughte Is a deadly sin." f "I see little difference between Itj said Rosamund, "and the stptchln' out of our nechs to the srv friends. I tell you that, rather . ' fall Inf the hands of the Paynims, 1 will dare that sin." And she laid her hand upon the dagger hilt that was bidden in her robe. Then again the abbess spoke. "To you, daughter, I cannot forbid the deed, but to those who have fully sworn to obey me I do forbid it, an, to them I show another if a more piteous way of escape from the last shame of womanhood. Some of us are old and withered and have naught to fear but death, but others are still young and fair. To these I say, when the end is High, let them take steel and score face and bosom and seat themselves here in this chapel, red with their own blood and made loathsome to the Bight of man. Then will the end come upon them quickly,' and they will pass hence

'unstained to be the brides of heaven." Now a great groan of horror went up from those miserable women. Yet one by one, except the aged among them, they came up to the abbess and swore that they would obey her in this as In everything, while the abbess said that herself she would lead them down that dreadful road of pain and mutilation. Yes, save Rosamund, who declared that she would die xmdlsflgured as God had made her. Then again they got them to their knees and sang the "Miserere." Presently above their mournful chant the sound of loud, insistent knocking!! echoed down the vaulted roofs. They sprang up, screaming: "The Saracens are here! Give us knives! Give us knives!" Rosamund drew the dagger from Its sheath. "Wait awhile!" ried the abbess. I "These may be friends, not foes. Sister Ursula, go to the door and seek tidings." The sister, an aged woman, obeyed with tottering Steps and, reaching the massive portal, undid the guichet or lattice and asked with a quavering voice: "Who are you that knock?" Presently the answer came in a woman's silvery tones: "I am the Queen Sybilla, with her ladles." "And what would you with us, O queen? The right of sanctuary?" "Nay; I bring with me some envoys from Saladin, who would have speech with the lady named Rosamund D'Arcy, who Is among you." Now at these words Rosamund fled to the altar and stood there, still holding, the. naked. dajrge.r in her han& (To be Continued.) jWILL ATTEND SERVICES Richmond Commandery, Knights Templar, will Listen to a Sermon by Rev.

PROVISIONS IN GENERAL

TENTATIVE MEASURE MAY BE REVISED EE FORE IT IS SUBMITTED TO BAR ASSOCIATION FOR REVISION. Richmond attorneys and city and County officials, as well as the people in general have special interest In a bill creating a board of deposit for Indiana and providing for the disposition of public funds which has been prepared by a committee of Indianapolis attorneys. This committe was Instructed to ' draft a bill and then present the measure to the bar association for its approval. 4 Some objection has been urged . aI gainst the bill as prepared. The chief objection is that it is too general in Its provisions. "It covers State, county, township and municipal funds," said a lawyer who is interested. "Since going over the measure the committee has decided that the State feature should be seperated from the other in other words there should be & separate measure providing for the disposition of State funds." ' .Members of the committee say the oiil will be revised before it goes to the county association. It is felt that it will be easier to get a bill disposing of State funds through the Legislature than a general bill relating to all public funds. "No one could object to a State bill, while there might be objection to features of a general bill," said a lawyer. "The most of the people of the State are agreed on the proposition that something should be done toward protecting the funds of the State, and it is not likely that any one in the Legislature would vote against the bill." The State features of the tentative measure provided for a board of deposit, composed of the Governor, the secretary of state, auditor of state and the attorney general. A provision of the bill says that the board shall meet each month to transact necessary business in connection with the care of public money. It will be the business of this board to designate some bank or trust company as a depository for the funds that come into the hands cf the state treasurer. The bill requirr -that all deposits of this characte shall bring a rate of interest of net less than 2 per cent. HAD MONEY IN PLENTY. Cornelius B. Graves, of Winchester was yesterday admitted to the Easthaven hospital. He is possessed of the hallucination that he Is immensely , wealthy. A few days ago he went Into a confectionery store In Winchester and seeing a watch on a show -case, tried to buy it. He was refused and in a few days returned to the store and again made an attempt to buy it saying that the price made no difference to him. He .imagined that he was worth millions. He produced a bundle of papers, cut to the size of a paper bill demanding of the clerk to name his price. The watch was not for sale and the clerk refused to dispose of it. Graves became very angry and tried to take it by force. An officer took him In charge and placed him in jail. He was later adjudged insane. MILLER CAN NOT HELP GARFIELD WRITES LETTE United States Commissioner of Cb porations Tells Indiana's Attorney General That He Can't Use His Ser vices in Trust Fight. Palladium Special. Indianapolis, May 17. AttorneyGeneral Charles W. Miller has received a letter from James R. Garfield, commissioner of corporations, saying that for the present there Is nothing the Attorney-General can do to aid him In his prosecutions and probings into the affairs of the different trusts. Immediately after Commissioner Garfield's report on the Standard Oil was submitted to Congress, AttorneyGeneral Miller wrote to Commissioner Garfield offering his services in any way that might be necessary. He explained in his letter that he was more handicapped in such prosecutions than the Attorney-Generals of most of the other States owing to the fact that he had no power of bringing Suits of ouster or of compelling the county prosecutors who do have this power, to bring such suits. It was in response to this letter that Commissioner Garfield wrote saying that for the present there was nothing that the Indiana official could do. The Attorney-General has been notified that June $ has been set as the date for trial of the case against exAuditor of State A. C. Daily. This suit is for the recovery of about $25,000, alleged to have been unlawfully taken from the State, during Daily"s term, and the interest on this amount. The suit was brought in the Boone county Circuit Court. A similar suit is pending in th Marion county courts against J. O.t Henderson, also an ex-auditor, the amount of this suit beng more than $100000. The date foi; this trial has not "been fixed, as yet.

Palladium Special. Muncie, May 17. Joseph Bernard, an East Main street merchant, was yesterday convicted of stealing six eggs by a jury in circuit court, fined $1 and costs and sentenced to a term of one day in the county jail. Th9 case was tried on appeal, he having been convicted in city court last summer, soon after the charge was filed. The case is an interesting one from the fact that a number of farmers west of the city were actively engaged in securing the evidence, which was of a peculiar jiature. Bernard had made a trip through the western part of the county last summer and purChased a number of eggs. One of the farmers claimed that he took a halfdozen of eggs for which he refused to pay. Bernard, to defend himself, made a list of the places he had visited and the number of eggs he had purchased. Much to his own surprise he was six eggs short in the count. SMALL FARM FOR SALE.
