CHAPTER XXXIX
1/22


THE YANKEE'S FIGHT WITH THE KNIGHTS Home again, at Camelot.

A morning or two later I found the paper, damp from the press, by my plate at the breakfast table.

I turned to the advertising columns, knowing I should find something of personal interest to me there.

It was this: DE PAR LE ROI.
Know that the great lord and illus- trious Kni8ht, SIR SAGRAMOR LE DESIROUS having condescended to meet the King's Minister, Hank Mor- gan, the which is surnamed The Boss, for satisfgction of offence anciently given, these wilL engage in the lists by Camelot about the fourth hour of the morning of the sixteenth day of this next succeeding month.

The battle will be a l outrance, sith the said offence was of a deadly sort, admitting of no comPosition.
DE PAR LE ROI Clarence's editorial reference to this affair was to this effect: It will be observed, by a gl7nce at our advertising columns, that the commu- nity is to be favored with a treat of un- usual interest in the tournament line.
The n ames of the artists are warrant of good enterTemment.
