tournament or a hawking party, where
the sport might be expected to be par
ticularly good. It must be remembered
that he waa only in hia fifteenth year.
The prince waa not elaborate lu
her instruction to Kalph flardelot.
He wa to be the bearer of a message of
general aympathy and good will; her
keen woman's judgment, sharpened by
the urgent danger, taught her that the
precise term ol a lormal commission

you to make it known."
Kalph loyally and leverently accept
ed the commlrsion. He believed In
hi heart that th mother had rightly
read her eon' character.
When Kalph had gone the princess
embraced her eon. "Courage, my fair
son," she said; "your kingdom will
yet be saved In spite of treachery."
In Uie evening Ralph wa rowed
down from the Tower to Greenwich.
At the iiiggestion of the princess be had
resumed the distinctive dress of
Wyclilllan priest; it might serve a a
passport. The long day was closing as

by violent convulsion that evil custom
could be uprooted? Could right; and
Justice be reached only through strife
and confusion? lie saw the poor
robbed by their natural protectors,
bnaton when they asked for justice.
Would nothing but armed resistance
and retaliation open the eyes of their
lords to this iniquity? Why did
righteous lords, whom conscience made
just and merciful, remain blind to the
brutalitiea of theii fellow? He aaw
foul greed fluttering like a harpy over
the fuir world of England, clutching at
the livelihood of poor men and devour
ing it, sometime merely wasting it in
ugly malevolence. Would nothing but
the clamor of insurrection scare tbia
monster from its prey?
"Who goes there" Ralph wa inter
rupted in hi sad reflection.
Ha started and looked round; for
moment nohoW wa visible. Then
irom oeiund a clump ot furze a man
sprang up, and the next Instant there
appeured behind him half dozen
men in leather jacket! with bow in
their hand.
He had reached the outpost of the
insurgent.
lie advanced toward them, and.
dolling hi hat, asked to be guided to
tne captain ol the common. "I bear
a message to him," he said.
"From whom?"
''From the king."
They laughed. "The king does not
scud such as you on his errand."
"I am known to your captain," Mid
Kalph.
"You are known to me also," said
the man, "You are a spy. I saw you
at ntourbridge rair."
"At least take me to your captain,
What I have to say to him deeply con
cerna the cause of the commons."
The men demurred, and talked of
short shrift for suspicious prowlers.
"Hind me and blindfold me, II yon
please, " said Kalph, extending hi
hand..
This wa agreed to after consulta
tion, and the bandage was not removed
from hi eye till he found himself in
the presence of the leader.
It wa a council of four, or rattier a
captain with a counsel of three, and In
one of the number Kalph recognized
hi friend Simon d'Ypres, alia John
Trueman, alia Jobn Kirby. Kirby
held the threads of the organization;
John Trueman's follow were the men
elected month before throughout the
counties to rise when the word of com
mand rhould come. The captain wa
Wat Tyler, whom we have met before,
He brought military capacity and a
ganiu for command to the combina
tion; one of the moBt singular thins
about the insurrection is. it complete
collapse after hi assassination, and
nothing could more clearly testify to
the Dower that carried it so far. John
Ball, tha heretic priettt, was also there,
the orator and chaplain of the move
ment. Of all the leader he waa per
tonally the most widely known and
popular; the letter summoning the
neasanta to rite were written in hi
name and In hit hand.
When Kalph waa brought in by
Lawrence Kirby, he received a friendly
but distant greeting from his acquaint
ance. From their grave look ot in
quiry it was evident that the message
was of more interest to them than the
messenger; and the captain, apeaking
with tha manner of a man who ha no
time to waste in ceremony, at once
told him to declare what he waa com'
missioned to say.
Thev heard him in grave silence
without comment. Bitting under the
rude cross candlestick hung from the
ceiling, the gravity of their face
heightened by the atrong light and
shade. The assurance that the young
king was personally favorable to them
was welcome, but the absence of specific
promise or proposal, coupled with the
half-concession reported by Sir John
Newton, wa suspicious. When it
wa apparent tbat Ralph bore no defi
nite plan of co-operation, Ball became
impatient and began to question him,
and to ask whether there were any
other at court a favorable a the king
professed himself to the emancipation
of the bondmen.
Ralph could only mention the prin
cess. (To be continued.)

"You must get off the other Bide,"
said the conductor.
"I wiah to get off on this side," came
the answer, in tones that congealed the
official into momentary silence. Be
fore he could either explain or expostu
