She flashed out of the room, and without waiting for tiring maid or coverture, she ran downstairs, dressed as she was In her light summer attire. Joan stood a moment silent, looking after her with eyes In which flashed a tender light. Werner von Orseln smiled broadly the dry smile of an ancient war captain who puts no bounds to the vagaries of women. It was an experienced smile. Tla well for Kernsberg, my lady," said Werner grimly, that you are not the Princess Margaret. And why?" said Joan a little haughtily. For she did not like Conrads sister to be treated lightly even by her chief captain.

Yes, she answered, I am Joan of the Sword Hand and I never think of these things! Von Orseln saluted, with a face expressionless as a stone. He marched to the door, turned a third time and saluted and with heavy footsteps descended the stairs. - At the outer door Prince Conrad was The two men saluted dismounting. each other.

He was set to herding rattle, and for six years waa out on the lonely hills, nearly all of the time by himself.

In the snow, tn for the spirit of God the rain was warm In me. Near the close of the sixth year, when ho was a young man of 22, he had the first of his remarkable dreams. He thought he was told to return to Britain, and that he would find a ship watting for him at the seashore. Nothing doubting, he made his way down the glen to the beach, and sure enough, there was a ship, at anchor. He was roughly refused passage. Turning away, he fell on his knees in prayer, when one from the ship came to him and told him to come with them. The channel was crossed, but he lost his way. He says; Tn jl,days-hy,land,- . and sea. wan Jerlng In a desert place. he reached home, where he was joyfully re- ... ceived. After an Interval, Patrick had another of his vision like dreams. He thought a man from Ireland by the name of Victor came to him, with his arms piled full pf letters. Patrick opened one of these, and it began; "The voice of the Irish, Patrick continues; While repeating the word I Imagined I beard in my mind the voice of the inhabitants who lived near the wood of Fochlad, on the Irish coast, and they cried: We pray thee, holy youth, to come and henceforth walk among Patrick thought tbla dream arall to carry the gospeKjo the Irish, but his people besought him with tears and persuasions not to go.
