Then they turuad sad entered tha old eburrh, oue of the first that ever waa In Britain, rough built of Roman atone by the vary bands of Chad, the 6axuo saint, more than BOO years before their day.

No human being did they see, indeed, for this place wee very desolate and unvtatted aara now aid again by fishermen. At length. Just aa the sun began to sink, they approached the shore of Heath creek, a sheet of tidal water which raa a mile or mors Inland, growing ever narrower, but waa here some MO yard in breadth. They were well mounted, all three ef them. Indeed, Rosamund's horse, a great gray, her father's gift to her, waa famous in that countryside for its awtftncea ami power, also because It was ao docile that a child eoukl ride It, while those of the broth-te- a were heavy built but well trained war ateeda. Now, the ground lay thna: Borne seventy yards from the shore of Death rek and parallel to It a tongue of land, covered with scrub and a few asks, ran down Into the Baitings, Its point ending on their iath, beyond which were a swamp and the broad river. Between this tongue and the shore of the creek the track wended Ita way to the uplands. It was an undent track. Indeed, the reason of Ita existence waa that here thi Romans or some other long dead hands had bnllt narrow mole or quay of rough stone forty or fifty yards lu length out Into . forced upon you." Tell me," continued she, changing her tone, what is that boat rowing round the river's month? Awhile ago It hung upon Ita oara aa though thoae within it watched us." .

' On they rode until they came te tlw not of the atone quay or pier, wbea a sound behind them caueed them to look hack. Then they saw a sight that seat the blood to their hcaru, for there behind them, leaping down oue by sue oa to that narrow footway, were men armed with naked swords, alx or eight of them, :.ll of whom, they noted, had strips of linen pierrad with eyelet holes tied lieneatb their helms or leather rajis so as to roiHval their faces. autre, a snarer cried Wnlf, drawSwift! Follow mo up ing his sword. the Bradwell path! and be struck the spurs Into his horse. It bounded forward. to be dragged next second with all the weight of hie powerful arm almost to Its haunches. God's mmey!" he cried. There are more of them!" And more there were, for another band of men. armed and linen hooded Ilk the first had leaped down on to that Bradwell path, among them a stout man, who seemed to be unarmed except for a long, cranked knife at hla girdle and a coat of ringed mail To the boat! shouted Godwin, whereat the stout nun laughed, a light, penetrating laugh which even then all three of them beard and noted. Along tb quay they rode, alnce there was nowhere eke that they could go. with both paths barred and swamp and water on oue aide of them and a steep wooded hank upon the other. When they reached It they found why the man bad laughed, for the boat wna made fast with a strong chain that could not be cut. More; her tall and Mrs were gone. Get into it, mocked a voice, "or at least let the lady get In. Jt will air ue the trouble of carrying her there." Now Rosamund turned very pain, while the face of Wulf went red and white, and he gripped his a word hilt. But Godwin, calm aa ever, rod forward a few pares and said quietly: Of your courtesy, aay what you need of no. If tt be money, we have Bono nothing but onr arms and bones, which, I think, may coat you dear." Now the man with the crooked knife advanced a little, accompanied by another man, a tall, supple looking knave, Into whose ear he whispered. My master sayd," answered the tall man. that you have with you that which to of mere value than all the kings gold a very fair lady, of whom aome one baa urgent need. Give her up now and go your way with your arms and bones, for you are gallant young men whose Mood we de not wish te shod." Give her up. answered Godwin, and go. eur ways dishonored? Aye; with onr breath, but not before! Who, then, has such urgent avd of the Lady Rosamond?" Again there waa whispering between the pair.

Rnt if you wish a name wall, one comes Into hia mind the name of the knight Loselle." "The knight Loselle!" murmured Rosamund, turning even paler than bec fore, aa well she might. Fer this wee a powerful man and Essex born. He owned ships of whose doings upon (he eeaa and In the east evil talcs were told, and ouee bad sought Rosamund's band in marriage, but, being rejected, uttered threats for which Godwin, aa the eider of the twins, bod fought and wouuded him. Then ha vanished, none knew where. la Sir Hugh Loselle here, then," aaked Godwin, "masked like you common cowards? If so, I desire to meet him to finish the work I began In the auow last Christina twelvemonth." Find that out If you can, answered the tall man. But Wulf aald, speaking low between bla clinched teeth: Brother, I see but one cfaance-- we mast place Rosamund between ns and (barge them." The captain of the band seemed to read their thoughts, for again he whispered Into the ear of hla companion, who called out: My master says that If you try to charge you will be fools, since we shall slab and hamstring your borsea, which ar too good to waste, and take you quite easily as you fall Come, then, yield, as you can do without shame, seeing there is no escape and that two men, however brave, cannot aland against a crowd. He gives you one minute to surrender." Now Rosamund spoke for the flrat A Lo-acll- time.

The brethren made no answer, only they looked at tbe water and then at one another ami nodded. It was Godwin who spoke again, for now that it had come to this struggle for life and thetr lady, Wnlf. whose tongue waa commonly so ready, bad grow strangely silent and fierce faced also Listen.
