The new sheriff waa a younger and
more vigorous man, and Kobin Hood
preferred a foe of courage and reaonroe.
To ontwit tbe old dotard who bad re
ceutly died bad ever been sufficiently
easy. The newcomer wag more worthy
pf bis steel,
Many a time and oft Kobin and bia
men were only saved by tbeir knowl
edge of the Sherwood caves; none other
held that secret. Indeed tbe fear
these secret caves was widely spread
throughout tbe neighborhood, and many
on old Wife's story told of tbe snre and
horrible death tbat awaited any man
that entered tbem witbont having
olew.
Gradually, as time wore on, those of
the old band who Were still left rallied
about tbeir leader. In spite of tbe sheriff
tbeir numbers increased, and from tbeir
uiftiaudicg - expeditions - tbey seldom
oame back empty banded. Children in
Nottingham said that when tbey grew
np tbey alto wonld live in tbe forest
like Bobin Hood, and eat of tbe king'
i venison and be served with enps and
plates of gold and nave many to follow
..tbem.
I Bat Bobln bad not forgotten tbe ill
omen. Outwardly bia mirth was
boisterous as ever. He played rough
jests witb bis own men or with travel
era wbo fell into bis hands. It was not
, enough tbat be should take tbeir treas
ure; be must also send tbem on their
t way in some purely ridiculous and fan
tastic attire or position, even as, many
i years before, be bad sent tbe old sheriff
back into Nottingham with bis bands
and feet tied and bis faoe to big bone's
tail.
His presence of mind in tbe moment
of peril was as great as il bad ever
been. One never found him at a loss,
ncr did he seem to be thinking of any
thing beyond tbe present moment Yet
if by chance any spoke to bim of wbat
be should dd in years to come Bis an'
gwer was always
"There are no years to coma ' This
year eodsslL"
. . Almost nncooecioosly his two most
able and faithful followers Little John
and tne Friar came to have tbe same
mind on tbls matter. Tbey bad no
doubt tbat tbe end Would coma, but
'Only of the manner of its eomfrjg. Tbey
bnsw bow -that-tbey weal in greater
peril thaa ever before, and tbeir terror
was lest Bobin should be taken by tbe
sheriff. Had tbey spoken to bim of it be
might have laughed at tbeir fears, Ev
ery night and day be kept bis dagger by
trU side, and bis mind was fixed thai be
would never be taken aliva. As it waa,
every morning tbey asked themaslvas,
"Will It be today r and every Bight
tbat tbey slept in the opes, "tiball we
be taken while we sleep?"
Tbe autumn came, and already tbe
trees of tbe forest were changing color.
Now and again a party of young nobles
wonld come down to tbe river with
hawk oat fist. Sometimes ia tbe early
anarning tbe Bon would sound
prise, bat ere fus eater ot keeper eould
reach the spot tbe fat bock bad
borne away. Tbe berries were ripening
oei tbe bt amble and wood Was bes
gathered against Jibe eqtaing winter.
A rich knight, bearing great treasure
la bia train, passel through tna forest
an scathed aye, evea without sight of
Kobin and hie men. Others folkrwad,
and were also left nmoleatad. It would
Indeed have baaa said tbat Bobin. as
was bia wont st timaa, bad left fiber
wood and was banting alaswhere bat
for the shrill call of the bora la the
early aaorainf and for tbe goiasiog aVtar.
It was as ttMogb so long as tbeyeooid
wrest a scant livelihood frota tbe vert
and venison of tbe barest, tbey 'Were aoav
tant to giro ap tbeir war oa tneav
And sals was beeaase Bobia lay sick
la lb eaves, every day saying, To
tnnrrow It will be well witb no, and we
will lake the rand agsla, and ml trav
sling prrlaie shall nay for bis aiaa."
'It shall be done," said Little John.
And Bobin, lying witb eyes olosed, said
no word for or against
- So that night a litter was made ready
and Bobin was laid upon it, witb bis
bead on a pile of rnabes and bis body
oovered wiUi the skins of wolves, for
bis natural beat bad gone, and even in
the day, when tbe sun was warm, be
shivered. , And every one of .bis men
went With him. For, by reason of the
activity of the new sheriff, the danger
of the journey was great, aspd it was
needful to have scoots out far ahead to
be sure that all was clear.
Even so, and though tbey journeyed
only by night, not once' or twice was
tbe alarm given, and only by a long de
tour did the band get through in safety.
And when tbey drew near to the priory
of Kirklees it was agreed tbat Little
John and tbe Friar alone should bear tbe
Jitter to the gate.
He would have strength enough him
self to enter the presence of tbe prioress.
Bat lest he should be recognised and
some barm should befall bjm, he car
ried bis ,born bidden under bis cloak.
OnebIait upon It Would bring the
whole of bis men onto bis succor.
''The prioress' lodge at Kirklees was
not one of tbe buildings tbat surround
ed tbe cloister court It stood apart on
the right bsnd side, having a walled
garden. . ,
And there in tbe beat pf tbe day tbe
prioress walked, holding an illuminated
book in ber bands She went slowly np
and down tbe straight gravel walk un
der the tress. The bands that held tbe
book were wbite and very thin; the
face still kept somewhat of its old beau
ty, but changed. There bad been a long
struggle and tbe enemy was vanquish
ed, but be was not dead and might yet
arise again. -
As she walked there one of ber maid
ens brought ber word tbat a traveler;
sore spent, bad been brought to the
porter's lodge and front thence bad been
carried Into tbe gnest ball, and be beg
ged tbe prioress would go to bim and
work a cure upon bim tbst bis strength
might return and be might go on bit
way. - ..:.
Even as sbd entered tbe gnest ball
she knew wbo it was that lay there, and
yet not by one sign did she betray tbat
the knew it .
Bobin lay witb closed eyes end breath
ing heavily. He was consoions vaguely
of women's voices speaking near bim.
Tben bis position was changed some
what Through eyes tbst slowly opened
be saw tbe glint of sunlight fall on pol
ished brass and on a snowy napkin. He
felt that some one waa rolling back tbe
loose sleeve of his tunic. Tben be caught
tbe sound of footsteps passing away in
tbe distance. ' There was a deep silence,
and when be opened bis eyea all bad
gone save the prioress, wbo looked at
bim intently. - ,
"Do yon know mef" she said. '
"Aye,4 said Bobin feebly. "I pray
yon to open my vein and let blood that
I may recover tne from tbe sudden weak-
hlch iss fsllrTO npon m. "
She bent down beside bim and said
oo word. He felt tbe sharp prick ka
(rank and went forth on some errand
that was thought to mean certain death
and returned from it unscathed.
And lastly, be waa back again in tbe
forest, and. down Ibe moonlit road came
tbe torches with tbe funeral procession.
His lips moved even in the swoon In
which he lay. . .,v . ,'
PA bad dweny'rbe whliperedT;
But in all these-changing dreams'
there was one that never; appeared to
alia 'tbo woman of . whom be bad
thought so little, wbo now, witb white
face and set teeth, bent by bis side as
be lay there unoonsoioua. ,
: a ..-,.'-; .J.,- .i st;;, e rj': e
- After tbe dreams there seemed to fol
low a long wave of darkness, and when
this bad passed and be bad opened - bis
eyes be knew tbat be was dying. f
: A vague wonder went ' through hit
mind whether it waa by aooident tbat
she bad taken so much blood from bis
arm, now tightly bandaged, or whether
it was of intention, knowing bim tb be
one deserving of dan tb and thinking
that in so doing she acted as tbe servauk
of God and tbe king. -. - - ,-, . "
It oame into his mind a so much idle
guesswork. It did not matter. It might
be dismissed. His restless eyes gazed
round the room. Close by bim on tbe
floor there seemed what looked like
shapeless blotch of green light
As he gazed at it it-slowly took
shape, and be remembered. It was bis
green cloak, which bad been flung
down there and lay there in the sun
light, and under it be knew was bidden
bis bunting born. ; Hard by tbe oloak
was tbe narrow open window. In the
distance from the chapel be could bear
the sweet voioes of tbe nuns singing.
Suddenly the thought oame to bim
that be could not die like this, like
rat in a trap a man that had fallen
into tbe bands of a woman. "-With great
pain and exertion be managed to crawl
-from bis bed and once more bang the
born about bis neck.
Then alowly he climbed Into tbe win-
ned bis faoe and seemed to revive bim
somewhat For a few momenta be knelt
there, panting heavily, and tben, bring
ing bis born to bis lips, be blew a call
Faintly the sounds floated away into
the distance. Then be fell baok, and
once more tbe swoon came back over
bim. , . '.. , '
i Tbe first thing of which b extras con
aoious was a oonf used sound. There was
tbe scrooming of women snd the benvy
tramp of feet When he fully came to
himself and opened bis eyes; the great
gnest hall was silent,, but there were
msny in It Tbe friar held bim np.
Little John stood by bis side. At the
farther end of the ball, In front of tbe
heavy oaken door, stood Ibe men of bis
band, ranged olosely together and wait
ing bia order. ..-,.'
"Give me water," said Bobin.
. It was brought bim, and be drank.
And tben, after a pause. Little John
spoke.'-.-.-.-. , .
"'Master, since it is by tbe foulest
treachery that you are now brought to
tbia pass, I prsy yon to grant the last
request that ever I shall make of yon."
"Speak on." , '
"Firstly, tbat we may bear you faenef
to some safe place where baply yon may
yet recover, and tben that we may born
out tbie nest of singing birds, so tbat
not one of tbem is left alive, and not
one stone oi all tbeir buildings shall
stand upon another. "
Bobln smiled.
"Nay, Little John, "be said. "When
did we make war on women? When
have we broken down tbe bouse thai
was dedicated to Onr Lady? II is my
command and since I die and shall
not recover, il is verily tbe last com
mand that I shall give you tbat yon
leave these women In peaoe-and all
their bona standing even as II is now,
taking nothing from tbem and: doing
tbem no barm, and that yon carry me
forth and bury me In tbe greenwood.

Tben, at bit bidding, tbey gave bim
bis bow, and be wonld bave strung it
bnt strength failed bim, Tbey bore bim
to tbe window and held bim there up
right Tben Little Jobn strung bis bow
and gave W to bim and pat an arrow
Into bis bsnd.
"See," said ebln Hood; "where

: Tben witb all bis strength be drew

A abort time ago a man and bit two

a German railway, AI a station an ele
gantly dressed, thickly veiled woman
entered tbe carriage, carrying a superb
bouquet of roses. When tbe train start
ed, she asked ber fellow travelers if
tbey wonld object to ber closing tb
window. The man hastened to close II
for ber, and, In moving to get out of
bis way, tbe stranger dropped ber roses,
He picked tbem np for ber, and, than
ing bim charmingly, she asked bim to
keep one. Then, turning to bis oora
panions, she graoiooaly offered eaob of
them a few of the flowers Naturally
tbe courtesy waa accepted, and the next
thing of which tbe travelers were con
aoioue was that tbe train bad arrived in
Berlin; that tbeir veilod companion
bad disappeared, and tbat all of their
money and valuables bad gone wilb

The present position of women cannot
be better shown than by tbe following
extract from a government prise 'book
for Ibe girls' schools in tbe Bombay
Presidency i ."If tbe bnsband of a virtu
ous woman be ugly, of good or bad dis
position, diseased, fiendish, irasoible,
a drunkard, old, stupid, dumb, blind,
deaf, bot tempered, poor, extremely
covetous, a slanderer, cowardly, perfid
ious and immoral, nevertheless sb
ought to worship bim as a god, witb
mind, speech and person.
"Tbe wife wbo gives aa angry an
swer to ber bnsband will become a vil
lage pariah dog. She will also become a
female Jackal and live in an nnlnbab-
i la ted desert Tbe woman wbo eats
sweetmeats without snaring tbem with
ber bnaband will become a ben owl,
living in a bollow Ire. Tbe woman
wbo walks slooe witbool bar hatband
ill become a filth eating village sow.
Tbe woman wbo speaks disrespectfully
to ber bnsband will be domb in tbe
nest Incarnation. Tbe woman wbo bates
ber husband's relative will become
from birth to birth a moakrat, living in
filth." Church Oesette.

I wish to call tbe attention of insurers in ALunance county
to the fact that tbe Burlington Intwance Agency, established in
1803 by tbe late firm of Tate & Albright, is still in the ring.
There is no insurance agency in North Carolina with belter
facilities for placing large lines of imurance, that can give low
er rales or better indemnity. Only first-class companies, in every -branch
of the bunnees, find a lodgement in my office. With
a practical experience of more than ten years, I feel warren til
in soliciting a share of the local patronage. I guarantee fu'!
satisfaction in every tafrfanoe. Corre-jpondence solicited C i
