" Tis so. Rose ; but his bold heart will leadhim into danger, and mayhap into a herd ofunbehe\ing tniscrcant.8, too many for his sin-gle aim ; and methinks at times he would nothave tarried fioni mu had not some mishap be-iallen him."

At, this moment, a loud slum \m\*t at theeasfle gate caused the* lady Almira to startand retreat within thc c;istle. A moment af-ter, a Knight, with vi/.er closed, upon a &now-white steed, entered, and urging despatch, domanded to see the Harou Alteoff. He wasushered into tho hall where the midnight rev-el hnti been held.

" Ah, good Knight, I owe thee r.jiioh," ex-claimed thr Karon, offering his hand.

(< Say not so, Sir Knight," *aid the Karon ;*' that right hand of thine did me good servicein the yesterday's fray, and methinks but forthee I should have received my death woundiiorn those graceless varlets. Kut why didstthou leave us? Kre I could leave my \icto-lious knaves to thank thee, thou wert gone/ '

<- Speak not, I pray thee, of this smnll ser-vice ; I come on business that needs haste,—The, son of thy feudal enemy has formed analliance^ since yesterday with a neighboringKaion, and e\en now an* advancing to beMcgc thy ensile, and to rob thne of the ladyAhniia, and ere the sun be two hours1 higherthey will he thundering at thy castle gate."

" Say you so, Sir Knight! I'll forth and, Trunk instantly prepare for a vigorous defence. V\\

be with thee shortly."While the Karon was engaged, the Knight

surveyed the heroes of yesterday's fray, whonow decked the floor with their senselesslot ins, the Hied of their carousal, and thought

were for the comingturning, roused such

of (he knights and men at arms as were able,to do service. The stranger Knight apologi-

ihr OIIHT in zrd for not having any followers, whom hesaid had gone on a forage, and during theirabsence he heard of the intended nttack, andhastened with all speed to the castlo, but hebegged him to despatch a trusty messengerlo the spot, to direct his followers to the cas-tle.

Scaicely had the knights and men-at-armstaken their stations on the battlements, erethe hustling lances of tho foe were seen glistening in the sun ; they numbered at leant 200,nnd the banners of the allied barons wereborne nt the head of their respective follow-ers. The followers of Knron AlteofF who wererfipuhli* of servic* scarcely anfounted to 50men. He disposed of his cross bowmen andslmgers to the best advantage, directing themto ply upon the advancing enemy a shower ofarrows. Thc foe plied their cross bows, andKent their arrows at every loop hole, and un-der their cover soon gained the sally-port andnext the barbican, and throwing a few planksover the moat, at once arrived under tho wallsof the castle—soon thundering at tho castlegate. Tho stranger Knight ordered heavypieco« of timber and large masses of stonetorn from tin* battlements to be thrown uponthem ; this for a moment daunted them, butagain advancing with loud shouts, they attack-ed the gate with redoubled ardor, under coverof a flight of arrows, which almost preventedthe besieged from makiug any resistance.—The Haron was almost disheartened, when theKnight called IUK attention to the lances of hisfollowers who were now plainly seen advanc-ing a* fiiKi as spur could urge their weariedsteed*. Tho benieged gave A loud Bhout,which wnn MIRwared by the advancing succorwith ardor, ns they dashed upon the astonish-ed foo ere* they hnti time to remove the tempo-rnry bridgo over thc moat. They quailed be-foro the unexpected charge, and thc strangerKnight, selecting a number of men-at-arms,nade :i . ally frnm one of the postern

place which he had appointed." An<t now," said the Karon, "raise thy vi-

zer, and let me see io whom I am indebtedfor my life yesterday and my castle to-day—"

" Nay, urge me not, Karon. Certain rea-sons forbid me to disclose my person ; knowmo for the present, and command me us thn'STIUNORR K N I G H T . ' "

The Karon having in vain endeavored to as-certain his name, he was about mounting hissteed to depart, when Rose came up and said,

"Thy cross betokens theo of Palestine, SirKnight; hast any news from thence?"

" Nay, my pretty maiden, save that ourarms are successful against the infidel, nndsoon the banner of the cross shall wave fromthe highest battlements of thc Holy City ; butere that be, the blood of many a bold knightwill crimson the plains of Palestine."

" Mayhap the good knight, Sir GilbertSpencer, may not be unknown to thee V

44 Yes, sweet maiden, I know him intimate-ly, but when last [ saw him he lay bleedingin thc dust, and it was said had more need ofrosary and priest than lance and buckler."

This was sudicient for Hose, who now sawtho Karon approaching, and waving her hand,said—** Kan; tho-well, Sir Knight, thoughthou art the bearer of aad news to our ladyAlmira."

Upon h<Y return slu, related the Knlght\stidings to hcr mistress, who burst into tears.She had loved Sir (filbert, but her father op-posed it, wishing her to marry a knight whoImd gained great renown in Palestine for hisdaring and courage ; but Almira had alreadybestowed her affections upon another. Tin;Karon, who loved his daughter, agreed that ifher lover obtained as great distinction inarmsas his rival, he would consent to their union.Accordingly the knight, who, though youn<x*bid fair to become greatly renowned in arms,set out for Palestine. From thence famespread reports of the prowess of the crusaders,but none were so distinguished, or had JWT-formed HO many brilliant exploits as Sir Gil-bert Spencer, whose prowess wns acknowl-edged both in field and tournament, nnd form-

thc theme of many a minstrel's song.—

"Generous Knight! what do I not owethee? Ah, at least let mo sec and know thefeatures x>f my deliverer."

" Nay, ludy Alraira, already do I repent,and now-methinks I must retract my absolu- jtion aiuLfttaiin tbeo for myself."

He niied his vizcr as he spoke—lady Al-mira gazed an instant, shrieked, and faintingwith joy, fell into thc arms of her attendants.Sir Gilbert JSjtencer knelt before lier.
