Well might the queen he unhap- py, for there was not a knight there who believed her innocent. wo | one offiered. to take her :ide. Tan | A Strange Knigz Saves. the Queen. After returning from his search fot thd Holy Grail, Sir Launcelot renewed his love for Queen Guenev- er. Many 'happy hours they spent together. Then the queen became Jealous without good cause. She told Launcelot. "Go from me, untrue knignt; never want to see you more!" Launcelot's heart was too heavy to answer, Be bade good- -bye to his dear friend, Sir Bors, and went some di:tance away to live with a hermit, Guenever was a woman who lost her temper in a hurry. She was often sorry for it afterv-ards. Soon after Launcelot left," rhe began to miss him sorely, hut she did not want anyone to know. So she be- gan to prepare. for a grand party. Twenty-four knights were invited, One of the knights was. called Nir Pinel, He was angry toward Sir Gawaine and thought he wold put hm out of the way, To do the evil deed, Pinel put poison inside an apple which he trought Gawaine would eat. In- stead, the apple was eaten by Sir Patrise, who died from the effects. Patrise's cousin, Sir. 'Mador, thought the queen had put the pois- on in the apple. He stood up and 1} said; "I ask you for the love you bear Sir Launcelot to fight for me." "If. you ask in the name of his love," replied Bors. 'Il cannot re- fu.e you, Unless better knight come than I, you shall have me as defender." Day after day passed ,but no "bet- ter knight" arrived, At last came the fateful .time, Arthur and his knights gathered be- .ide a field. - Guenever looked .at Sir Bors and shruddered. If he lost the fight, she knew that she would have to die. ; '""Hurry up, Sir Bors!" erled Sir Mador sharply. 'Let us Jars done | with this!" Sir Bors" shifted sally He seemed to be, gating for something to happen. %i} Suddenly all eye. were turned across the field. There, galloping toward them at full speed, was a knight bearing a strange shield.

The other knights jumped up from their seats and wait- ed to see what would happen. " King 'Arthur heard the noise and came in to see what was the trouble. When he heard, his heart was sore. "lI demand justice," cried or Mador, "You must be a fair and righteous king." "Yes," said Arthur, "that I must. Unless some man offer in 15 days to do battle for the queen against you, she must burn at the stake!" 'A SCHOOL FOR ADVENTURERS. (Continued from Page 1.) "I'm proud of the fact that I'm to die in the bed I was born in," an- nounced a hero of the ingle-nook, n tones purring contentment. Such a tame one would have been spewed out of the mouth of Forres. We know little of the school-master-in that far-off Highland Glen. newcomer, Sir Modor and the strange knight | clashed together, Mador was knock- | ed to earth. The towered over him, saying: condition that you shall mever again utter false word against the queen" "I promise" said Sir Mador. Then . the strange knight took off his helmet. It was Sir Launcelot. of the Royals, perchance, body Broken by long service now chained him down to Forres, but the soul of him remained a rover. He taught his geography with moving pictures of a Highland Regl- ment following Britain's drum-beat around the world. Bras, 'and "'Fontenoy." __Being a Highlander, he was partial to the bard, Against him, it must be admitted, that oft oe sie He was a born Seannachie, or story-teler of his race, not merely the lore of foreign wars but the infinitely richer lore of a thousand years of Highland history was poured forth upon his public. That lttle school at Forres qualified more lads for the gypsy trail than it did for the college cloister. From the point of view of the pedant, and of the dootrinaire, that school was a dismal failure. From the point of view of empire builders, that far-off Highland school outshines a host of cramming mills of a parrot civilization. I suppose that we must always have our bespectacled book worms as prize exhibits of the college study. But the plungers, the pathfinders and the adventurers are a thousand times more what Canada is needing for the opening up and for the development of her resources. - Who is there that does not feel a sneeking sympathy. for the ne'er-do- well, kicked out of home for the sake of the peace at home ?
