The armor was black as h casque was ef the sable hue, though the e Uiant ostrich feathers which floated from the top relieved the sombre effect. Upon his head be wore a light cap of purple velvet, with no other ornament than 2 rich brooch of gold and emeralds which secured the crimson ostrich plame in its place. His face was one of rare and startling beauty—one of those faces which awa- ken eavy in the bosom of beaux, and quick love in the souls of the gentler sex.

Upon that point he had reserved a stern silence; and the most that the Emperor Baldwin could cc from bim when he bestowed the honor «f : nighthood was a simple declaration to this ef- set — “Upon my name there rests no stain—in my soul thee fs no wrong.
