THE WILD KNIGHT; Or, The Unknown Crusader. A Tale of Germany in Days of the Empire: [CONTINUED FROM OUR Last.} Asthe Knight thus-spoke he ratsed the small white band to his lips, and, as he imprinted his first kiss thereon, Aynes of Luxemiberg smiled. ‘Those wete days when true men and maidens spent not long hours in senseless flirtation, nor tried to conceal the generous emotions of the heart. Hthe bead ig ‘was right it was spoken. So from that hour the Knight of the Eagle knew that he was weleomed by the only maiden who had ever won his heart. The emotion was a “ae one, and under its influence his heart stew light and joyous and bis arm stronger. As soon as possible the two Crusaders put on ‘armor, and then went out into the court, cherethey found Robert and Bernard with the horses all caparisoned ; and from the porter they learned that Von Metzinger was wait jug an an- swer from him,” Bat just as the porter spoke the voice of the robber knight was heard in Toud an- ury tones: “Hallo, within there, thou creoping er. | 2?

Bt Loco faith, we'll send them of howling now. ve is there loop-hole through which I can count the villains?” = Psy The porter led the way tothe small wicket in which there was a small piece of chain netting. ‘Through this the Black Knight could count the robbers. There were two Enights and fourteen men-at-arms—the latter on foot, and armed with cross-bows and swords, and wearing the usual nor of the foot soldiers of the period—round shetl caps of irom, with deep capes behind ; cui asses of brass, with a joint at the neck, thus sup- plying the place ofa gorget; but no bressarts or cuiskes. They were stout looking fellows, and fom what our hero could see of their faces he would have judged them to be just fit for some such work. Sir Otto was.a stoyt. powerful man, i as he now wore his visor up the crusader nid see that he had a bold, badiook. The oth- er knight, the porter said, was Sir John von Main- hardt; and that kaight our crusaders kuew had been placed under the ban of the empire for his evil deed, but grocery for having rebbed the Archbishop of Mayence. * Call out our men,”’ said the unknown, “and have them arranged in the court here to be ready for any whe may chance to dodge in. Now, Sir Engelbert, we will out upon them, while Robert '|/ and Bernard follow to scatter the birelings.’? Thus speaking the Black Knight closed his visor, and having loosened his axe, and couched his danee, he called wpon the porter to throw inek the yate As the way was thus opened, six of the men at arms were bringing up a heavy log with which they meant te batter down the wick- et. The movement of Sir Otto and bis compan- ‘on, when they beheld the unexpected presence, Was one of astonishment ; bat ere they could be- tray moch emgtion our hero spoke : red * Who are you that dare question Otto of Metz- er?*? the Pobber retorted. ~+ Just stand where a are and I'll ride thee downas | would a pray- z pun.’? As Sir Ottospoke he gatheered up his rein, and put spurs to his horse; and wit! impious bat- tle ery of—“the spoils to the mighty ed on «+ God and St. Falcia!”’ shouted the Unknown, as ne braeed himself forthe shock.
