One of the first-to rush-through te breach -srortin— hand, was Godfrey. The Holy City was captured. Then occurred a tragedy thet has cast the only stain on Godfrey's fame, The troops, thrilled with religious real. burning to avenxe the insutts to their fellow-Christians and fo their Lord's memory, and bearing in mind the earlier killing of the city’s Inhabitants by the Persians, began at once a wholesale massacre of all the Moslems in Je: lem. Godfrey 1s sald by some historians to have tried in vatn-to-check-this—massacre,_Rut this is not probable. He was not the sott of man who tried things in vain. Moreover, it was n gtern, bloody age, when the yanquished could expect scant mercy, So the massacre raged ‘on for days.

O With the engine acting weary as wo left the Hudson's shore, Thero came news that was just shocking, and it set the euburbs rocking, While the passengers were knocking, not including those who swore. For the brakeman, wanly paling, plainly showing he waa alling, Came with Iacgard steps and falling through the Nyack loval's door, Shaky hands-his gray beard clasping, in a voice both loud and raaping, Hoarsely was the Brakto gasping just that cryptio “Nevermore!” Then the passengera cried: “Granny, why these ravin's so uncanny? What strange funny-work now plan ‘ee? Como within yon open door, Come, explain your queer behaving and your Incoherent raving, Is {t some new scheme for saving that will make commuters sore? -|'Then the Brakie, andiy weoping on some Teanccka gently sleeping, Through the car camo slowly creeping, interrupted by a pnore; And he spread the mournful tidings, how for freight they'd atop our ridings ‘Traine for humang'to the aldings to be brought back—Nevermore! i ‘Then above the Erie's rattle came the cries of men for battle, ‘Catise they must give way to cattle and to coal and freight. And sore? Cried a passenger: “Umawful! They have chawed off quite a jawful, ‘And this road's already awful. Why, It/beats the blamed Wogt hore,” ‘Thon up rose another, saying; ‘What's the use of all this braying?
