elm evening. I brought the butt of
my revolver full upon the head ofone
man, and he fell like a log. Shep-
pard's, arms were twisted round an-
other, and the two, swaling together,
stood out for an itistant against the
sky and were then - snapped , up into
.the confusion of the melee. Blows
rained upon us, and the warm gush of
blood started from my arm. With a
rush we were carried- backward, and
the struggle seeraed all over. At that
"natant 1 bethought. me of Montgomery
and Williams, and, getting my finger
on the trigger of my weapon, I fired.
The shot flew aimlessly, but the noise
rang loud upon the"' heights and passed
from the courtyard in dwindling
echoes. Then, throwing off the man
who was etruggling with me, I seized
Sheppard's arm, and, dragging, him
from the kneeling posture into which
he had been thrust, I ran across the
leads toward the round tower of the
keep. Sheppard raced with me, pant-
ing as he went, and after us pressed a
thin stream . of black creatures just
visible against the heavens. Scram-
bling up the stairway, we janamed
down the lid which gave access to the
to of the -tower and, turning, looked
down upon the nether battlements.
After an ineffectual rally upon the
stairs the assailants drew off -and,
huddling in a group some twenty paces
away, whispered together. I heard the
sounns of their voices stirring in argu-
ment, and now and then a syllable
came' to me, faintly familiar. Where
had I heard it? Above the rest and
lighted 'ay the kindling sky towered a
form which I took to .be Sercombe's.
For the space of three minutes or
men* this interval of rest continued,
Ind then a louder voice cried some-
thing from the terrace. I recognized it
now. The language was Greek, and
those strange and- horrible creatures,
that seemed somehow to My excited
brain Compact of all deformities, were
Greeks—sailors also, as I conjectured
from the smartness of the trick which
had led to our discomfiture. At this
moment a low whistle cattle from the
farther corner of the. tower, and im-
mediately two heads stole over the
coping.
"It is I," said Montgomery. "What
has happened?"
We welcomed them with warmth
and hastily unfolded the situation,but
the words were scarce out of my
mouth when a nolse of feet and a
clanging of iron proclaimed a renewed
attack upoe the tower. Upon those
heights,' as 1 have explained„lay the
tvreekage and debris of centuries.
Groping in this, efontgomery found a
large stone and, leaning over the para-
pet, hurled it down Upon the crowd.
Almost as quick as thought we follow-
ed his example and had the satisfac-
tion of seeing the parties withdraw to
a safer distance. It was now plain to
me that Serconabe had issued an order
against the use of firearms. 11 the
business eould be managed without un-
due disternance, he had decided that it
was wiser. Indeed, the strange part of
this remarkable encounter was that,
saving the first shot and my own sig-
nal of distress, the conflict had been
carried on in comparative silence.
I had also come to the conclusion

.
"Oh, hang your sentiment!" I an-
swered uneasily.
"I think we'd better go back," he
-said after a pause, and we returned to
Williams. The man stood like a rock,
bis eyes riveted eagerly upon the dark
figures of our antagonists. "Shall I
fire?" said he in his high Welsh voice.
"No," said 1. "Hold yoUreelf togeth-
er and fire 11 I tell you. We shall hane
blood on our hands soon. enough." -
There followed anothet space of si-
ience, broken. only by the interjected
voices below raurmuring in conference.
For my own part I was taken up with
Montgomery and his hazardous ven-
ture. I ,biamed -myself for not stop-
ping him at any cost, and in ray mind's
eye I followed him in his perilous as-
cent. It ,was still to dark to watch
his rogress, for the drum tower was
as yet shrouded in vagueness, and no
sound greeted us from the stillness of
the breakintotdawn. I think some fire
minutes passed in this dreadful stage'
of anniety, and then Y observed a
movement among the men below. Evi-
dently they lied concerted some plan,
and we were to resist a fresh attack.
Just at this point, and when our
thoughts had been necessarily called

the new development, there arose. a

a tall black • body an in eine rear of

arose now upon my mind, premeaitat-
ing flight, a new perplexity. I dared ,
not leave the body there, exposed to
the sight of the world. Doubting In my
thoughts and torn by shapeless fears,
I stood irresolute, but at that moment
my attention was eaught by a move-
ment in the bushes across the park. A
head peeped out and scrutinized the
scene with diligence, Then Sercombe's
face emerged, red and bloated. He
pushed through the novert and strode
boldly toward the castle, followed
presently by bis companion, a rough,
black fellow, with a gallows look. I
watehed them approach and halt un-
der the walls, facing the dead body un-'.
derneath ine. I suppose my outline apt
peered against the sky,' for Serccrnabe '
looked up and fixed his eyes on me.
But he said nothing, only addressed
the Greek in an undertone. 1 leaned
forward and regarded them intently.
The rough fellow stepped to the brink
of the Moat and, etooping forward,
nulled the floating bough toward him.
It moved, carrying its hideous passen-
ger. When next I looked the Greek
had the body on his shoulders, and the
two were retreating into the under -
wood. At the end of the reach of turf
Sercombe came to a stand, and once
more looked up at me. But he still
made no sign, and I could imagine that
the color of his face had faded. It
• seemed somehow to me to be ominous
of the new' position in which we were
Involved, I descended into the castle.
Outside Sheppard's door 1 paused. It
stood open, and 1 looked in. The light
streamed through the window and fell
across his face. He Jay dressed upon
tbe bed, a red stain of blood upon his
cheeks, and as I gazed. his hands mov-
ed ccevulsively—a contortion twisted
his sleeping face. I left him and, re-
turning to my own room, threw myself
upon the bed.

The Halberd.
The distinctive weapon of the Swiss
was the halberd, which was their prin-
cipal weapon et Morgarten and Lau -
pen. It is curious to none how the Ten-
tenle nations, even to this day, prefer
the cut and the Latin nations the point.
We have' been told by German officere
that When the Getman and French cav
airy met in the war of 1870 the Ger-
maniswoed blades always flashed ver-
tically over their heads, while the
French darted in and out horizontally
In a succession df thrusts. Even -the
Gerraan dead lay in whole ranks with
their swords at arin's length. So the
English at Hastings worked havoc
with their battleaxes. The Netnerland
mercenaries carried a hewing Weapon
at Bouvines. The Flemings at Cnurtral
used their godendags fitted alike both
for cut and thrust, and finally the
Swiss made play with their halberds,
an improvement on tbe godendag.
The halberds had a rfoint for thrust-
ing, a hook 'wherewith to pull men
from the saddle and above all a broad,
heavy blade, "most terrilic weapons"
(wade terribilire, to use the words of
John of Winterthur, "cleaving men
asunder like a wedge and cutting them
into small pieces." One can imagine
how such a blade at the end of an .
eight- foot ;haft must have surprised'
galloping y ueg gentlemen who thought
themselves invulnerable in their armor.

Grow
Seed Peas—
little visit now—
good profit—.
Been reading about peas in Guelph
College t3tilletin and Provincial"
Crop Records? Tfley say the
pea -weevil is gone for seven years.
Queer thing about pea -weevil ...
he comes for seven years and van-
ishes for seven. This is his first
year for vanishing. Safe now to
grow seed peas.
Report of Department of Agricule
ture shows average crop is twenty -
bushels of seed peas to the acre.
Some Canadians raise three crops
a year. Price ranges from 75c.
to 85c. a bushel.
Easy crop to grow . market never
glutted ... profit sure. Why don't
you go into seed peas this -Spring?

where it received ninety-six points
out of a possible hundred, much
higher than any other Porter in the
United States or Canada.
