In short, this was what the subtle
Prior whispered. Adam de. Cokefield,
Chief Advocate of the Abbey, had been
slain in the crusade against Palestine.
He left his daughter Rohese and a
rich fief to the guardianship of the
Abbot of Bury. Now De Cokefeld's bro-
ther Advocates would refuse to accept
as guardian of these riches any Ab-
bot of tile hated Regent's appoint-
ing; and by electing one of their own
number Abbot, the monks would fur-
nish a guardian satisfactory to thOra,
and, at nome future time, the Abbot
could pelvately transfer the ward and
her fortune to .whomsoever the Prince
should designate.
"Is this Laenr Rohese fair, Prior?"
"Truly, so they say," answered the
Prior so primly that the Prince laugh-
ed again, and was in high good hum-
or with lehnself and all the world. He
motioned his favorite to him.
"Here, Geff," he said, "the worthy
Prior offers in exchange for a worm-
eaten convent, rat -ridden and wrapped
in debt, with dronidg, sniveling
monks, the fairest fief in the realm,
and a maid, Release by name—a name
'that brings to mind, a red, red rose.
Thou shalt pluck this red rose, Geff,
and pull the tassel of its goidea purse.

"Aye, ':that I will; a fair maid, a

what more could a poor courtier ask?

John's hand.
"Away, then to the Council, Sir
Prior; marshal thy black flock before
thee; and thou, my Lord' Bishop, at-

The Prior and monks followed the
Seneschal to a nearby chamber; that
worthy waving his baton with ponder-
ous condescension, as if it were some
fairy wand with which he could be-
stow the Abbey and lands as he would.

law which necessitated an Abbot be-

Prince John discovered this. he decided
to give the Abbey to Geoffrey. This
determination Was a blow to the Prior,
as it menaced his plans; for should
the Prince appoint the ruler of the
Abbey, custodians would be sent With-
er, and lie would have to give a strict
account of all treasure listed on the
Abbey books, After some diseusston,
the bishop spoke to Prince Joh, stat-
ing that the Prior protested against
an appointed Abbot, and demanded the
right of electing one of their own
number. John at once broke forth in
a rage. "God's blood! thou Pope -hely

At Sir Adam's death, the hbusehold
of Lady Rohese- vainly urged her to
Seek asylum in the nunnery near St.
Edmunds. But her first grief past,
she set the keep in order and spent
the year of mourning in receiving her
father's soisliers, who came straggling
back, a few at a time from the un-
successful siege of Jerusalem. With
the aid of her seneschal, Gilbert
O'Diee, she collected her rents and
governed her people well. Though
her chief vassals and tenants were
much scandalized when on the day of
juagment they assembled in the castle
hall, and found the slim figure of
their lady in the great judgment
chair, with her maids behind her and
old Gilbert at her side, wringing his
hands that a woman should dare to
sit in the seat, whence the long line
of De Cokefelds bad governed ete well.
But the maiden judge went calmly
about her business, and settled a dis-
pute between two grange -holders in
a way that none could demur.
Thereafter she had gone on, some-
what laughed at by her father's broth%
er knights and a great scandal and
horror in the eyes of their ladies.
"She can read," Bishbp Riddel's sis-
ter Alicia exclaimed to her friend and
gossip, the Lady of Clare. "An'
Latin, too, like a monk, by my
troth!" answered the other.
"The maid will come to no good
end. God ne'er intended woman to
aspire to the intellects of man." And
they nodded their heads sagely over
their posset cups,, for they often spent
the night together when the good
bishop was away on some expedition
with my Lord of Clare.
But the maiden holder of the keep
went on her way, oblivious of praise
or blame, a just ruler of her people;
loved by all and worshipped by her
soldiers; though her maids often whis-
pered to each other that their lady
had never smiled since the news of
Sir Adam's death.
"But, 'tis not all from mourning our
Lord," said Mary, eldest and favorite
of the attendants, as they sat in the
lady's bower one rainy autumn morn-
ing. "I have lived with Lady Ro-
bese since we two were babes togeth-
er, for is she not my foster sister?
And well I know what page it was
who played oftenest in our bower.
Henry Leicester, Sir Adam's ward,
Would leave .many a hawk unflown to
play the lute as we sat at our needles;
and, growing older—a gallant squire,
he still wore her glove in his cap. An'
by our Lady! maids, did I not go with
Sir Adam and Lady Rohese to St.
Edmunds, where two years ago they
fixed their spurs -upon young Henry,
and she gave him his helmet with her
colors in the crest? Then Sir Adam
laughed, as the two looked long upon
each other; an' blushing, looked
again, as if they pould not cease, and
said to my Lord Abbot,—'Dominie
there will be nuptials in St. Edmunds
when this popinjay comes back from
the wars, and takes up his inheri-
tance.' An' then, maids ye should
have seen Henry's face, and how he
kissed our lady's hand, an' how she
pulled me away; until we ran into
the sacristy, that the knights and
medics should not see how.. her begone
heaved and her eyes filled. Then
she fell on my neck and murmured,
'0 girl, I love him; I love himi' "
"And to this day has she never
spoken of him?" asked Eunice, young-
est of the maids, her round blue eyes
moist with sympathy.
Tt was one morning bright and fair,
The Lady hawking rode that day,
And by a dark and Jeep mill stream
Her retin'e took their way—their
way,

•
All gaily decked in eloth of gent
The Lady rode and cried,
"Thawed the hawk at yon mill race-"
To the teal rage at her side—her
side,
To the teal page at her side.
But when her faverite hawk sunk
down,
All wounded in thc. Race--
"Alas"—she cried--'rey goshawk save"
Whilst tears ran down her face—her
tune—
, Whilst tears ran down her face.
Then into the deep water sprang
Sir page. her 'hawk to save.
But never rose he from the stream—
The mill race was his grave—his
grave,
The mill race waa his grave.
The Lady she shod many a tear—
"That page I'll'ne'er forget,
P.ut tell me. Steward, did he save
For me my precious pet—nry pet,
For me my previous pet".
There dwelt a Page in Castle Clare,
And 0 he loved his Lady FO,
And yet she moved so proud and fair—
She did not care, she did not know—
She did not care, nor know."
When .the last ,note rippled away,
'Raoul sat expectant of a word of
praise from Lady Rohese (while the
maids exclaimed at the pitiful fate of
the page, and the in.difference of the
lady): but the minstrel was doomed to
dleanpointment, for as Robes° lifted
her head from the embroidery frame to

DEGREES OF COOKING.
What is Meant by Rare, Medium
and Well Done Meat.
Perhaps a word may be said about
the degree of cooking, as indicated by
the words rare, medium and well done,
used in reference to' the cooking of
meat.
Some people interpret "rare" as
,meaning• meat seared a little on the
outside, but with the 'whole interior
raw. This is far from a correct inter-
pretation, The albumen should be
coagulated, the fibres really cooked,
but the juice may be yet red or pink,
In "medium" there is still some pink
left in the meat, though the red color
has left the juice, while well done
means no pink color in either juice or
fibre, but not the stringy, overcooked,
tasteless 'product so often served as
"Well none" meat.
' The quantity and kind of meat used
by any family depend upon its living
habits, its appreciation of food values
and the money available for food. The
excessive use of meat means an un-
wise expenditure of money as well as
an unnecessary tax upon the kidneys
and liver, of it is a most important
factor.—Woman's World.
RAVE YOU A BAD SORE?
If so, remember these facts—Zam-
Buk is by far the most widely used
balm in Canada! Welly has it become
so popular? Because it heals sores,
cures skin diseases, and does what is
claimed for it. Why not let it heal
your sore?
Remember that Zam-Buk is alto-
gether different to the ordinary oint-
ments. Most of these consist of animal
fats. Zam-Buk contains no traceeof
any animal fat, or any mineral matter.
It is absolutely herbal.
Remember that Zam-Buk is at the
same time healing, soothing, and
antiseptic. Kills poison instantly, and
all harmful germs. It is suitable alike
for recent injuries and diseases, and
for chronic sores, ulcers, etc. Test

BIRD PROTECTION.
ISSUE NOi 34, 1916
Few of Olu• Feathered Friends In-
jure Grain or Fruit.
With the increasing knowledge or
the value of wild birds has come a
demand tor a larger measure of pro-
tection for them in their passage to
and from Canada In their anual
nil-
grations as well as during their so-
journ here. Numerous organizations
are at work to this End, and some of
our brightest minds are devoting their
time and energies on behalf of the
birds.
Farmers and fruit growers, almost
as a unit, have come to recognize the
value of birds as enemies of destruc-
tive insects. Careful investigations
have shown that by far the greater
number of our birds subsist on a diet
of insects, and only on rare occasions
do they attack fruit.
Still further education is required
among the young, however, for the
protection of birds and other nests.
The Boy Scouts have been doing val-
ued work in this direction.

MAKING PLANTS GROW,
Yield of Tomatoes Doubled by
Use of Carbonic Acid Gas.
The value Of carbonic acid gas as
a plant nutrient has been the subject
of considerable recent literature, in-
cluding an interesting paper by H.
• Fischer, describing experiments in
Europe. The author found that the
development of both foliage and flow-
ers was stimulated by an excess of
carbonic acid in the air, while the
yield of tomatoes was doubled, and
that of cucumbers increased 12.6 per
cent. by carbonic acid treatment.
It has generally been held that .03
per cent. of carbon dioxide in the air
is sufficient for plant growth, but Mr.
Pi -seller thinks that more than this can
be utilized, provided there is ample
light, and that experiments In this di-
rection might give valuable results.
On the other hand, MT. I. F. Kidd.
an English investigator, finds' that an
excess of carbon aloxide in the at-
mosphere retards or inhabits the ger-
mination of seeds, but without injur-
ing them. He suggests that the pro-
duction of carbon dioxide in nature by
the decay df vegetable matter may
play a part of analogous to that noted
in his experiments.
