hands that hnnz at her side opened
and shut as though they were gasp

herself fadaer a wall of stalwart bod
ies, a sea of coarse faces, and dis
covered, with a sucden ti:hternr of
her muscles, that all the eyes which
were not following the boat were
centered cunouely upon herself.
Before she could take a step the
nearest warrior thrust out a hand and
caught her by her black locks. "Stop
a Mttle. my Bold One. " he said gruffly-
"Xow that you have a moment to
spare from tne high-bom folk, it is
the wish of us churls to hear some of
your news."
A score of heavy voices seconded
the demand, and the fa.1 gradually
curved into a circle around her. T.y

Northern Light! " they cried. "Thor
has sent him his own s-"crd!
The lines of English were wild with
anger. "Crash him. the hcrnet, the
wasp! Crash him. Edmund!" they
roared.
In his exultation the Scar-Cheek
rolled himself over and over on the
grass, and wound up by thrusting his
shaggy head into the lap of the red
cloaked page I must do something
fo- joy. h- panted, "and eicept for
i your hair yen look near enoush like
a handsome woman. Do you bend
and kiss me every time Canute pricks
him.'
His head fell to the ground with a
thump as the child of Frode leaped to
her feet.
"If you lay finger on me again." she
whispered. "I will caress you with
this'" and for an instant a knife-blade
g.ittered before the bulging eyes.
Snorn rolled back with alacrity and
an oath, and after a moment Frode's
daughter dropped down again and hid
her face in her hands. If the king
should be slain and she be left adrift
in this foul sea! She mizht as well
have screamed as moaned, for all that
they would have noticed.
About this time Canute s blade ap
peared to have become m earnest.
Ceasing its airy defense, it took on
fhe aggressive. Before the sudden
ury of tne onslaught Edmund gave
back a pace. And either because his
anger made him reck"? or his great
bulk was against him he presently
was forced to craw back another step.
