THE SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA. GA., SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 23, 1887
TO THE RESCUE.
BY BO JEAN.
CHAPTER III.
Then mount, then mount, brave gallants, all,
\t.<l op votir p'unifU aii.alu,
P-nin’.i couD-rs. fame aud boner call
Us lo he li a^aln;
N shrewnn tears shah fill our eye
W*ieii ihe sword bill’s in our hand;
jj, Hr r frh.de we’ll part and no while sigh,
For the fsiresd of ihe lane.
Le» p’.piDa swain am* craven Wight,
Thus weep ana puling cry ;
Our husiness is like men lo ti.sht.
Aiid hero like to die.
A hasty but careful survey troni the knight
showed the pursuers to be nineteen in number,
armed capapie, and with three leaders at their
bead. As soon as the troop had satisfied
themselves that there was no way to escape for
the fugitives from the rear of the edifice, they
returned to the front and formed in line, after
which the central leader rode forth and called
out: . ,
“Hail gallant sir, we come to invite you and
your fair charge to our castle/’
“Sir,” replied the knight, “for your courtesy
all thanks; but my lady must be elsewhere to
night, and cannot grace your festal board until
some future occasion.’'
At this reply there was a scowl on the face
of the speaker, who had raised his visor. He
turned to his men, and having exchanged some
words, he advanced nearer to the knight, and
with his voice entirely changed, continued:
“1 demand the person of Rerengina. If you
yield her, the better for you; if not, your head
is the penalty.”
One instant the knight glanced through the
doorway at his lady. Her form was visibly
agitated, although her eyes and voice were
raised in earnest prayer. As she looked around
and saw the knight facing her, she clasped her
hands toward him as she passionately cried:
“Oh, kill me yourself before you let me fall
into his hands. That was my father’s de
stroyer who challenged you. ”
The knight moved up to her and laid his
mailed hand on both of hers, and against his
hand she pressed her throbbing head.
“(lod and our lady guard you,” he mur
mured, “and calm your spirit to see if I prove
worthy of your beauty. Maiden, pray for him
who binds your color on his crest.”
He gently withdrew his hand, strode proudly
to the front and spake unto the caitiff:
“False traitor I defy thee, if thou darest
advance.”
Videmar, for, as the lady had said, it was ne
who had addressed Sir Blondel, fell back and
ordered bis men to do likewise, until some fifty
yards were between them and their single foe.
Then, at a given signal, one of them, powerful
in size, dismounted, .and unsheathing his
sword, advanced upon the knight. He moved
slowly, for his heavy armor oppressed him.
Scarcely had he begun to ascend the hillock,
when the knight, who had caused old Stephen
to hand him his battle-axe, sprang right upon
his foe, and with a well-aimed blow of the
ponderous blade, cleft at once his helmet and
his skull. The dead man fell without an effort,
while no sound of joy or grief arose from the
breathless spectators.
Another warrior then dismounted and ap
proached the knight, who had returned to the
doorway. There was a feartul determination
in the sullen manner of the two champions
who were meeting. As the attacking party
pissed the body of his late companion, he
paused and gazed upon the deep bloody gash
in the head. The spectacle seemed to unnerve
him, for he moved strained aud cautiously to
wards that gory battle-axe. A moment he
stood irresolute, and then the champions
clashed, but before the attacker could ex
change a blow, lie had sunk down a bloody
corpse, with his head almost severed. The
knight had strained the staff of his battle-axe;
so, stooping down, be took the powerful blade
from the band of his dead foe, and then plac
ing his foot on the prostrate body, be rested on
his sword, awaiting the next attack. As their
second champion bit the dust, groans and
curses escaped from tbe lips of Videmar ami
bis crowd; and then it was, one of the leaders,
riding by the chief, who springing from his
horse, waved his sword and swore t J avenge.
His excited, hasty manner, was against him.
Wounded almost instantly in the shoulder, he
had scarcely time to shriek for help, when a
crashing blow against his forehead sent him to
his last account. The last tragedy was wit
nessed by the host in appalling silence, each
mau awaiting his neighbor’s action. But no
one of them dared go forth against that sing.e
champion who, silent and grim, stmd gazing
dow.i upon vhem. After all anxiou^ lau>rv»l,
eacii man dreading lest his name be called, Vi-
demar gave the command: “Upon him with
the lance,” and all sprang from their horses
and went plunging up the hill. Never was at
tack made in greater confusion. Each anx
ious Lnat some other should first cope, some
pushing, others pulling back; three men were
cut down before they could make resistance.
Then a general fight ensued. Swords, aimed
at the knight, clashed and struck against each
other, while Blondel, with shield upraised and
mighty arm alert, struck every blow right
home. Two more caitiffs hid fallen aud two
more still showed ghastly wounds, when one
Bertrand de Gordon, bearing a lance, stooj ed
down, and as those before him struck at the
knight with swords, he vilely aimed at the
only point, exposed, and inllicted a wound on
Sir Blond el's kuee The knight sank down,
but catching ou the wounded limb, continued
lo fight with such unabated fury that Videmar
gave the cemmand: “Fall bask!” and his
men, obeying, drew’ off aud stood breathlessly
gazing on the fallen, but unconquerable hero,
Whose eyes glared back ou them. Videmar
then stepped lorward, and saluting the knight,
spake:
“Will you not yet yield? I beg the honor
of entertaining so noble a knight at my castle.
I swear by alf that is holy to serve you and
your lady ; and after a brief interval, during
which we can form our treaty, to usher you
forth in peace.”
The wounded knight turned round to her for
whom he strove and was bleeding.
“Madam,” he said, “as a loyal subject,, I
re‘% r to you tins proposal from the tyrant.”
The pr ncess had gazed with pride and won
dering admiration at the noble mien and resist
less arm of her champion. When she saw him
sink down, her grief knew lo bounds; and now
as his pale face turned toward her, she reflect
ed: “Purely so noble a knight must be known
aud held in revercnco over the realm. They
would not dare to murder him. Why should
1 bring down his blood upon my head, whose
own must in turn be shed? No, better that
they should take the wearied life they are pur
suing and thus spars this Blondel, the grandest
image of his Maker, and then my last, sigh,
though from dungeon walls, shall go out in
gratitude for his sake.” It was with this he
roic tlough appalling resolution, that she an
swered the knight:
“My lord is wounded; let us place ourselves
under the oppressor’s protection, until we can
go 'orth again.”
That announcement caused the bit’erest mo
ment < f Blondel’s life. Already suffering and
spent with care, he now had to think of this
fair and lovely womau being wrested from his
charge and yielded to the power of the coarse,
sensual, bully below.
“Princess,” he said, “I pray that it may not
be so. If die 1 must, let it be here with the
bme sky above and this freedom in our souls.
An 1 when they seek me in the morning and I
shrtll nOo be, your helplessness will move a
heart of stone, and even a ty rant must pity
aud pio'.fcct you.”
I I s spirit found full response in hers. She
t re daughter of dead kings, would also have
died there, in the glorious light of freedom,
and the last light of the house of Navarre been
quenched by the tame hand that had slain her
illustrious father. But with womanly sy mpa
thy for the wounded man, an A a hope deep
though’distant, that should heaven spare them
each other—she spake.
“Would yuu take from me, iny only hope,
your life? You have achieved what I deemed
above the power of mortals. But heaven is
above all, and into its almighty keeping we
commit ourselves. Rule thy spirit and once
again, Berengeria may call on thee to battle.”
Sir B.ondel said no more. Ilia wound not
dangerous, but goaded by bis armor and luten-
sified in pain by tbe bruises on his person, was
LXhaun ing his strength which had been con
siderably spent in the cdlnbat. Then too,
while confident that iu single combat no one
could cope with him, he feared, that wounded
as he was, they might overpower him, and
feeling, “they dare not harm us,” lie also
rusted that some day Berengeria would again
call on him to battle. So haviug bus decided
lo* addressed Virieu ar in a loud clear voice.
“You have hounded down and attacked the
protector of an innocent lady, and now after
useless tigbtiDg aud slaughter of your men,
v «*u lurn and ask your victim to your castle.
S iuiild we entrust ourselves to your keeping
what pledges do you make for our protection?
M oid forth and swear upon your honor.”
Videmar dismounted and haring his head
approached the knight, though not within trie
reach of swords aud he promised/ by ail things
frne and holy, I swear to conduct you in safe
ty, to treat you as honored guests under my
walls, until I escort yon to other lodgings.”
The knight looked at the lady who bowed
her head signifying a mournful assent. Then
j he looked again at the tvrant and in firm meas
ured tones, said: “Upon these conditions
then, we place ourselves beneath your honor
and protection, and upon such terms my lord.
I do not yield, but only sheathe my sword.”
Saying which he dropped the brand which had
served him so well, and picking up his discard
ed battle axe, he rested it in its guard. Vide
mar seeing the death dealer thus stored away
walked up and unlacing the trappings of his
sword, he handed it to a follower, saying:
“Sir Knight, in the immediate presence of
beauty it is not loyal to bear arms. I give
mine to my squire. Do so with yours.”
The young knight seemed surprised at this
proceeding, but silently he presented his bat
tle axe and handed it to Stephen.
Then Videmar bent his knee before the lady
and Sir Blondel, saying: “Fair Princess, you
are welcome to my castle.”
“May I demand, sir,” asked the lady, “your
authority for thus attacking a peaceful compa
ny?”
“I took you,” was tbe tyrant's answer, “for
marauders we were Keeking.”
“Then,” continued the lady, “since you per
ceive your mistake, I trust we may proceed in
peace.
“Not,” answered Videmar, “until you have
graced my castle and your champions wound
is dressed.”
“Mark then,” exclaimed the lady with her
head erect and her eyes aglow, “the last free
words and will of Berengeria. By all the laws
of chivalry, I protest against this foul proceed
ing.”
“Then,” stammered Videmar, “I must pro
test against a princess riding far out thus, with
an unknown aud suspicious character.”
He turned his craven face away in uttering
this, for he could not meet the injured look
upon the lady’s face, and he dared not face
the glance of the knight, and to evade their re
ply he gave the order, “bring up the horses.”
This was a signal for the retainers to advance,
who accordingly rode up and formed around
the prisoners in a circle, while Stephen led out
the knight’s charger and the lady’s palfry.
“Can you mount, sir,” asked Videmar, for
the wounded knight was writhing in pain.
“I caa,” answered Blondel sternly, and as
Videmar stepjred toward the lady he sprang
between them, and placing her in the saddle,
he dragged himself with au effort into his own.
Another signal from the tyrant chief and the
soldiers formed in two lints about the prison
ers, four in front and four behind, while Vide
mar drew up on the right side of the Princess,
Blondel bting already on her left. Old Stephen
was ordered to follow in the rear and the rest
of the soldiers remained behind to care for the
dead and wounded. The trumpet sounded and
with heavy hearts they left the scene which
but an hour ago they had approached so full of
hope.
CHAPTER IV.
’ TIs i he hour when happy faces,
Smile arcu id ihetapeis’ light.
Who will flu our vacant places.
Who will slug cur so* «*s lo night?
T* r ough the mist tlia> II tats above us,
Faintly sounds the v» aper bell,
Lise a voice fr» in those who love us,
breathing fonuiy, fare-thee-weli.
After riding for some distance in silence
Videmar ventured a speech. “Fair Princess,
1 rejoice at your return to my castle.”
“It is a strange reception for a lady, sir,
when in time of peace she is pursued by a .
armed band and forced instead of being
traded to a place of refuge.
Videmar after muttering some confused •
ply quitted her side and for some distance
two captives were granted the favor of privacy.
For a long interval the silence was unbroken,
each being buried in the solitude of their own
heart’s emotions, butat last in clear and affect
ing tones tbe lady said, “my lord while deeply
I deplore my own fate, it is forgotten in my
solicitude for you, and remorse in having
brought you to this untimely fate.”
“ Why lady,” said the knight rousing and
trying for her sake to smile, “I was thinking
of the peasant whom you envied this morning
and who doubtless envied us when, like a glit
tering pageant, we passed her by, and swept
~ to our part of suspense and struggling and
soirow. And this is life. The peasant looks
at the heights of power and longs to inhabit
splendor, anti the prince gazes from his gilded
captivity and sighs for rustic health and pleas
ure. God keeps us all, but still I embrace my
destiny and it is selfish in you to withhold
even your griefs from the faithful heart which
is beating at yoAr side. Had Heaven willed
that by tho , m
rttscued you mo.*i gladly wt.ydd my spirit and
not my form have been watching over you now.
But remember God is our keeper and despair
does not sit well upon our spirits.”
“Brave knight,” answered the lady, “could
any one have saved me, it had been you, and
still iu your presence, my heart is sustained
against despair. But I know so well the heart
of that evil villain. As for me the life of Ber
engeria has been beset with so much sorrow, I
Could hail death as my deliverer; it is the
thought of your young life cut off in all its
glory.”
“Without you that glory would be all dark
ness,” answered the knight fervently, “but
let us dash away these craven thoughts. He
lives not who would dare—”
“Dare!” exclaimed the lady, “what dares
tbe fa con when the dove is struggling in its
talons.'*
“Aye!” muttered the knight, “but he knows
not that the eagle is poising over him.”
“But the struck eagle is stretched upon the
plain,” continued the lady, “and his eye gazes
on the setting sun. I trust we have that spirit
within us which will endure more than our
ettemies can offer. Truly our times are in
God’s hand, and may He fortify our spirits.
May He spare jour life to her tor whom you
have endured so much and spire me—”
W hat her speech would have been, cannot
be told, for Videmar rode up and she did not
finish it. IIis jealous and vindictive spirit
chafed on witnessing their fond intercourse
until lie could endure bis emotions no longer,
and he rode up to interfere. The guards also
closed up and as no further converse could
continue without a general audience the cap
tives rode in silence. It was an exhaustiug
ride to the prisoners suffering as they were in
mind and body, and the lady became so feeble
at times, that the knight, wounded and weak
as he w’as, rode near to support her with his
arm. It was a trying experience to all, to the
oppressors as w’ell as the captives, so tha. all
were thankful when a dark cloud arose and
caused them to increase their speed to a gal
lop. And even as they rode the knight gazed
on the lovely face beside him. Tnere was to
him a nameless joy, in moving, even though it
were to death, beside the last representative
of a grand and ruined house. And more than
once those dreamy wondrous eyes rested long
and fondly on the noble features of the knight,
pale now from loss of blood, and whose ex
pression even changed from tenderness as they
beamed on the lady, to deep and deadly hate
as they frowned on the motley throng around
them. The sun stood just midway in the
heaven as they neaml their destination, for
gloomy and dismal the frowning ramparts of
the castle rose in view, and a fresh pang of
sorrow chilled them both as her lips faintly
murmured:
“Shall we be parted?’
Had they not regarded the castle as their
prison, it was a g'oomy structure to behold.
A huge pile ot rocks rising in such confused
brttle-'ents and turrets that it would have
been hard to decide whether it was formed by
nature or nature’s lord, bad it not been tor the
huge outer wail. No sign of vegetation show
ed itself except where here and there in some
crevice of the rocks, a stunted weed or shrub
struggled for life. As they rede down a rocky
glen, the trumpet sounded and was answered
from the cas le wall, and as they reached the
moat the drawbridge was lowered and across
it, out of light and freedom and into gloom and
uncertainty they rode. Tha last horseman had
scarcely left the drawbridge when it was quick
ly raised again. The soldiers immediately
formed in line around the prisoners, an 1 Vide
mar, spurring up, wheeled his horse dirtclly
in front and said, with as much gallantry as he
could command:
“Your orders shall be obeyed as baroness of
this castle, and,” pointing to some women ad
vancing, “these ladies await your summons.”
No sound indicated the feelings of the prin
cess, but her face, now pale as death, seemed
to have changed to stone at this change in her
sufferings, and then looked beseechingly at the
knight. Videmar watched to see the effect of
his speech, but as the lady did not answer but
continued gazing on the knight, his next speech
was to Sir Blondel:
“To you, sir, who, back there, spoke so lofti
ly of conditions, hear them: You are my
prisoner, and as such have yielded up, not
sheathed your sword. Is my guest pleased
with his reception?”
But the kuight, like the princess, only sat
speechless, for his mingled feelings of surprise
fcnl indignation sealed his lips, while his hand
vainly sought at his side for his trusty battle
axe.
Videmar, seeing his look and motion of defi
ance, continued: .
“What! doest defy us even here? Valets,
place this tiger in tfie durjon," ai.d straight
way some seven men rushed upon the knight,
seized and dragged him from his horse, while
he exclaimed:
“Villains, were it not for my lady, here
wouid I die, and your false blood should stain
this soil ere mine should make its vengeance
plea to heaven. Arch traitor, when this
charge is brought against you how will you
answer to ycur King?”
At the word King, Videmar’s veins swelled
with rage, and his whole frame shook with
anger.
“Villain!” he exclaimed, shak ng his fist in
the captives face, “if you use that term again
your blood shall straightway answer for it.
Thrice with that name upon their lips, cowards
have besieged these walls. These moats were
their sepulchres and their bodies fed the vul
tures.”
As this announcement of defiance to the
king burst from the lips of Videmar, the awful
situation of the knight dawned upon him, but
did not appal his spirit, and his voice regained
its usual tone as lie replied:
“You are. then, the traitor on whose head a
price is set?”
“Elsewhere call me what you will,” said Vi
demar with asmer. “Here I am lord of Chalnz.
My will has never, ami shall never, know a
king as you shall learn. Slaves, on with him
to the dorjon,” for the attendants had stopped
during this interview.
Resistance unavailing, the knight only
glanced back as they bore him off, and saw the
lady with a desparing look upon her face and
stretching her hands towards him, while she
wildly called his name. Reason forsook him,
and uttering a plaintive, “I come,” the knight
threw off the men holding him and rushed to
wards the princess. She sprang from her
saddle to meet him, but was reseived instead
in Videmar’s arms, while the knight was
quickly overpowered and this time borne away.
He gave a last look at the princess who sighed
“farewell,” and fainted as from her gaze they
took Blondel away. He was borne up long
winding stairways and through dark and
gloomy halls until at last a heavy door grated
on its rusty hinges, and he was pushed inside.
The door closed and he was alone. His first
emotions of love for the unfortunate princess
were followed by those of indignation and re
venge, and then with the hope of rescue came
the spirit of effort and of action. Under this
latter impulse he rose from his despair and ex
amined tne room. It seemed one accustomed
to an inmate as was proved by the straw lately
pressed, and some rude fftrniture, but the se
curity of the apartment indicated the inhabi
tant to have been a prisoner, for there were
chains and shackles. The barred door through
which he had been forced was the only’ access,
and the small windows or narrow slits admit
ted a chilly air without much light, lie drag
ged himself to one of these, for his wounded
limb had become numb and powerless, and
azed as well as he could at the prospect. All
hope of escape through these vanished at a
glance. Far below him were roof, battlements
and turrets of the castle, and should he at
tempt to call his voice could not be heard or
heeded. With a sigh he looked on the land
they had passed over, and then, stretching his
vision far away to the west, he caught the
glitter of ocean waves in the setting sun. His
hopeless search ended; for once, even that he
roic spirit gave way and, falling upon his pal
let, his mind w’as seized with all the horrors
of his situation. His woes were intensified as
the long sombre shadows grew upon the lloor,
u.iiii, as the iiglit taded, his file seemed tlit-
‘-•iga.way with it, and at length all grew vague
a*.u dreamy in the darkness.
CHAPTER V.
•TGs the night come? Not yet, oh! my darling—
Toe glory of morning G here;
Her sunlight transforms us aim lifts us
High Into her holler sphere.
Ana hope, a divine aurora.
Shines out from her tresses again;
L ** y»»ur face catch the brightLess. my darling—
Your brows be forgotten of palu.
The unfortunate Berengeria, having fainted
as tbe knight disappeared from her senses, sank
down, and her unconscious form was received
in the arms of Videmar. His passionate nature
was rapt in the pale, beautiful face with its pro
fusion of golden hair, which fell in little ring
lets over his brawny' arms. At length her
brown eyes opened slowly and her lips mur
mured, “No, do not leave me,” until—as she
recognized the face bending over her—she
struggled free from Videmar with a scream
The tyrant said nothing, but, making a sign,
the women came up and carried her away,
while she called iu piteous accents upon Vide
mar to save the life of Sir Blondel. The por-
lir... ,>f rfU...w „ IWpmW)* v.-
oomeyeu was tar away, ana ditter-a widely
from the other captive’s apartment, tire lady’s
being a bower fitted up with some degree of ele-
gance, though lacking taste. Upon a soft divan
they laid Berengeria, and one of the attendants,
bending over, stated that her commands would
be obeyed, and ere long Baron Videmar would
present himseff.
“Oh! then,” exclaimed the unfortunate prin
cess as she fell on her knees before the woman,
“where is the wounded kuight, and what shall
be our fate?”
“Such as that we cannot tell,” answered the
woman, “but aught eUe.”
“There is,” said Berengeria, as if speaking
to herself, “but a brief interval for favors. I
The only acceptable service that you can ren- !
der me is the poor boon of privacy.”
Accordingly, with some alt* mpt at etiquette, j
the women withdrew; and the lady, like the
kaight, was left a prey’ to her ow’n wretched I
emotions. This was the first time since the j
knight hail entered her room and heart to
gether, the evening before, that she could de- |
vote to sane and sober reasoning; for, since his
image had passed before her eyes, her mind
had been inspired with hope, energy , and as in
divine writ, greatest of all, charity.
For one moment, as she pressed her hands
to her head and regarded tbe situation with its
horrors, her woes seemed greater than she
could endure. Had she been then as yester
day—only a lonely, weary woman, with no
heart lu, that of a faithful squire beating in re
sponse to her own—doubtless these moments
had been spent in preparing for her last great
change, which, with no hope in life, she wouid
have prayed for, and for strength to make that
exit as became a mighty daughter of the realm.
But that wounded knight! How his image
came before hei! Was he thinking of her now?
Was he planning their escape? Would that
escape ever be effected? Long sue sat thus,
wrapt in deepest thought, n 11 :cting on the
stormy past or dreaming of tne fitful future
until she was aroused by a low knock at the
door. Knowing that her wishes wouid not be
respected, she made no answer and the women
entered.
“Madam,” said one of them, “our gracious
lord, wishing to impress you with his kindness,
gives you leave to hold a brief and final inter
view with him you call your knight; but, as
the afiianetd bride of Videmar, you will refrain
from any excitement or emotion to wauls this
stranger known as Sir Blondoi.”
< dice more, at the thought of contact with
the object of lier being, a fight hashed in Ber-
engeria’s eyes and color tinged her cheek,
while, rising slowly, she answered :
“Say to the baron that for once, even, I can
thank hnn. And can J proceed now?”
‘ Yes, your Highuess,” was the answer.
‘ It is well,” said the princess, and followed
her conductors with weary body, but eager
steps, until sbe was ushered into an open court,
a portion of which was divided off by a strong
wicker partition. They pointed her to that, po
sition, then bowed and withdrew. She .g auccd
around, no one was near, and the sickening
thought that ibis was a deception t> change
her prison quarters was ere* ping over her, and
she staggered against tbe railing, whin au ir
regular, clanking tread was heard; and an in
stant after, while her heart beat hard an 1 fast,
the wound* d knight appeared. For a mom -m.
ings. And now pledge imyly your fair hand
wliich I hold, that you will’ot droop or bow,
but bear yourself the true jfuKbter of a king.
I have bad happy inoineiitjbut yon, even m
prison walls, have bestosjuiy crown of joy,
for I wished to know if yd feit and cared for
me; and now; knowimr, vw, princess, let us
live and it need be suffer fjjeach other.”
The lady raised her eye^i the knight with
an earnest expression njshe said: “With
your woundeo body and 'anted strength, is
your spirit not bowed dovtf’”
“Why, madam,” he aiwered, “since my
spirit professed allegiancqio you, it can bow
only to your wishes. Sojhen they call you
from me again, eo calm fgl determined, even
though darkness and dr«il oppress. Let us
expend our lonely hours j»tiidying stratagems
for escape; and rememhr, where honor is
spurned deception becon* lawful. True, my
beautiful and sad-eyed prp'ess,” he continued,
as she looked yearuiugiy in the world of sun
shine outside, “if we sinJ beneath these woes
we die as martyrs true-*' our ciuse—eacii
other. But we—we musputdo them and sur
vive as heroes.”
“Ah, prince,” said the lady, “for you are
the lieio of my life, could Iralty thus, with your
great, noble heart heatiik at my side and dis
pelling my womanly feati.”
“But my spirit is iiuled feeble,” answered
Sir Blondel, almost repoachfully, “if a few
stone walls can hold it rum the object of its
hopes.”
“Do you know," she *iid with a timid, wist
ful glance, "that in the® dreary walls I cling
to life only in the thought of seeing you, of—”
“Vour Highness,” said a voice from outside,
“your time is up."
"And so is my spirit,’’ echoed the princess.
“Brave knight, forget not Berengeria, for she
will ever think on thee. Farewell.”
She clasped his hand to pass out, but by a
pressure on his part ab/turiied and instinct
ively lifted her fac#,w'iie lastily and reverently
bowed his head and kiss® her lips. The touch
sent a thrill that gave nav rapture to life, and
the princess never wallpd more proudly than
when, by the glimmeringlight of the taper, she
left the apartment. Bark again in her room,
she paced the floor iu upd i tat ion until, roused
by the crowing of a cot*, she fell upon a couch
and weariness brouehublivion without repose.
Next morning she aro® to begin the period of
martyrdom, and the naming hours lagged long
and wearily. Videmars request for an inter
view met with a haugfty denial, and accord
ingly her miseries wen increased. For three
days, successively, Videmar demanded the
privilege of seeing her Each time he was de
nied, aud each refusal added to her sufferings,
as her few comforts were removed and her con
finement made more dreary. But having for
tho fourth morning inced the floor with that
fixed and vacant stare, Berengeria’s eye bright
ened, and she crossed Ihe room with determi
nation and tried t.bidoor. It wav secured; but
at the rattling of the laion ,t was opened from
outside, and a woman entered and asked how
she could serve her Highness.
"Vour lord,” answered Berengeria. “re
quested an interview, which shall be granted.
1 would arrange my toilet, give me means.”
The princess was conducted to an ante-room,
and there, with astonishment, she beheld robes
of tier own, taken, doubtless, from her father’s
castlo at the tine it was plundered. Hot,
scalding tears filled her eyes, but this was no
time for weeping, and, having brushed them
away, the princess busied herself in selecting
her most gorgeous robes. And then, assisted
by her tire women, sim arrayed herself with
glory and with beauty. She had fasted long;
and though she ilid not care for food, Beren
geria, with heroic effort, partook of the repast
offeied her. And .then, Videmar’s messenger
arriving, she replied, "I will receive the bar
on.” And being conducted for this purpose
into another apartment resembling a room of
state, the women bowed, withdrew and left her
alone.

I have been to Monteagle and feel renewed.
It is a good place to visit. < if course it would
not satisfy some folks, for it is not a watering
place in the common acceptation. It is not a
place for the young folks t> sleep all day and
dance all night. Not the place to play poker
or flirt or dissipate or read sensation novels or
talk nonsense, but is the place for healthy re
creation of mind and body—ihe place for moral
and intellectual enjoyment; the place to broad
en the perceptions and increase knowledge aud
enlarge our charity. My visit there has filled
me with admiration aud reverence for its aims
and purposes and plans. Monteagle is a grand
success and is emphatically the Chairauqua of
the South. It is not a state institution uor a
sectarian one. Theheaits and the brains of
the men who control it are too big for that. It
was organized in the special interest of Sun
day-schools and still nourishes those powerful
agencies for good, but a more advanced mental
culture is now included. Monteagle is for the
old as well as the young It is the place for
parents to take their children and all be bene-
fiited and refresh* d. There is no puntanism
there. Iu fact, it is the liveliest, happiest, most
frolicsome place I ever visited. It is unalloy
ed pleasure ail day and sweet, refreshing sleep
all night. 'The mountain air is delightful, the
scenery beautiful, charming or sublime and
everybody wants to see everybody happy.
There is no selfishness there, for Monteagle
was not established to make money or declare
dividends. It pays its own way but is not al
lowed to do more. If there is a surplus it is
expended on the grounds. It is the largest
philanthropy I know of m all this southern
land. Its president, Mr. Reppard, of Savan
nah, gave five thousand dollars in the begin
ning and has been giving ever since. His
great heart is full of enthusiasm for the insti
tution and he magnetizes every’ one he talks
to. He and his earnest associates are deter
mined that the south shall have a Chautauqua
as comprehensive and as powerful for gooo in
liuences as that at the north. They now own
several thousand acres of land on the Cumber
land plateua and their membership is rapidly
increasing. Twenty-five dollars makes one a
life member. Ten dollars admits a minister of
the gospel to the same privileges. Four dollars
gives a season ticket. Twenty five ceuts
admits one for a day. Lodging is from one to
two dollars per week, and boarl trom five to
ten dollars. Excel.ent lure at the restaurant,
can be had for six dollars a week. I know it
is excellent for 1 boarded there and 1 know
good fare when 1 see it and smell it, and take
it. About three hundred are boarding there
now.
Schools for children and youth are in full
blast, and normal sclojls fer the instruction of
teachers. Ten dollars lor the season covers
these charges, and includes all the platform
exercises and all the lectures on scientific sub-

Professor S. P. Sanford, on Arithmetic.
Dr. A. J. Battle, on the Sun.
Bev. W. A. Cand.er, on The flight of Birds.
Dr. Lafferty, on Luck and Pluck.
These are some of the lecturers who have
chosen their subjects. Many others will he
there to dispouse knowledge, among tuein
Bishop Qaintard. Dr. Wilburn, Senator Col
quitt, Hon. George W. Bain, Mrs. Chapin and
Miss Willard, and most of the professors of
Vanderbilt university.
Vhut an array of talent! These men can bard
ly talk without giving light and knowledge aud
pleasure to their hearers. Now, if a young
mau or young woman means busine.-s, and feel
that they have got something to do in this life,
and wish to learn ad that is within their reach
and their limitei means, let them go fo Mont
eagle aud spend the season, or a part of it.
One month there will notcost over titty dollars,
and will be worth live hundred. Every young
teacher in the laud ought to go there, if pos
sible. Every young preacher should go, for he
will hear the most eminent divines of all de
nominations The lecture that, I h< ard Bev.
VV. A. Candler make on the “Flight of B rds”
was worth a great ileal to me, and gave me
ideas that had long slumbered, but Hear would
never have awakened and taken shape. I feel
proud of him as a Southerner aud a Georgian
Now, Mr. Iieppard is a Georgian, and is full
of state pride, and he earnestly desires Geor
gians lo make up aud take hold of Monteagle
and build there a georgia home. Alabama has
one, and eo has Tennessee and Mississippi and
Memphis and Nashville. These homes are
only carrying oat the centennial plans. Geor
gians would feel more at home if domiciled tu
Georgia cottages. We can’t help that It is
just human. So let the teachets of Georgia
contribute from five to ten dollars each and
feel that they have stork in Monteagle. and let
the cottages he built and owned by them, and
the grounds around tbuu be improved and ur
namented anduuke ita yearly trystingplace—
a place of reunion. Monteagle was a happy
selection. Mr. Keppard had his heart set on
Tallulah, but the Hiehmond aid Dauvlie sys
tem offered no induemems The Louisville and
Nashville system were very liberal, ami so Id,
l umberland plateau was chosen, ai.d i am
glad of it., for it is more ceiitial aud more ac
cessible to the slates west of us. There are
more places of interest to drive to. Every
afternoon there is au excursion to some oi these
places. I went with a party of forty to the
Colliseum and the Bridirveil falls, and was
delighted. Table Bock and the leaning Tower
are just a pleata it morning’s walk—half a mile
away.
Suwanee, tbe lovely seat of the university of
the South, is only half an hour’s ride and Wacy
City about the aauie distance. Then there is
Fairmount and Beihesda and other pleasant
drives within easy reach. This Cumberland
mountain is just one by itself, and cannot be
enlarged ordiuiinnhed or encroached upon. It
stems to be nature’s bounty to education.
The train that takes you up from Cowan climbs
up at the rate of 175 feet to the mile, and every
little while there is an opening anioug the trees
that gives you a view of the beautiful valleys
below, and you feast your eyes and your soul
in silence; that is, a man does, but a woman
begins to scream out right away: “Oh, isn’t
that lovely, beautiful, charming, splendid,”
etc , eic.
But 1 must close with Monteagle. If any
one widies lo know more, let them write lo

be a specific in a large number of the ordinary
