CHAPTER XXV Continued.
"Then," cried Bail impetuously
turning to his col leagues, "we must have
the charters with us. We must not
leave London without thorn. It is
necessary that we see the king alone."
Tyler said nothiug, but by a look ad
monished the impetuous speaker of his
indiscretion in thus revealing their
plans. Kirby also cast a leproving
glance. The man of quiet intrigue and
organization was ofteu annoyed ,by the
man of burning words.
Ralph did not see this by-plav, but,
as Ball seemed to address him, made
answer by way of excusing the king,
that he could not grant charters with
out the assent of his council.
"We will be his council!' cried the
fiery orator. "We will quicken their
deliberations!"
Then Kirby had a question to ask in
his ordinary smooth voice. Pid the
king show the san'e willingness to
remedy abuses when Ralph first Con
ferred with him six weeks before?
Ralph assured him that it was so, an
answer at which the little man's keen
eyes twinkled, while he sugirestetl to
the captain that Master Uardclot
might now be dismissed with thanks
to the king for his gracious message,
and an answering assurance that they
would ever be loyal to him and his
heirs, that he need fear no hurt from
them, and that in all they did thev
had regard to the honor of himself and
the realm.
Ralph left the presence of the in
surgent leaders with a heavy heart,
which all his new-found jov and hope
could hardly lift above the oppression
of painful foreboding On two points
it was clear that they had made up
their minds inflexibly : they must see
the king in person, and they must have
charters of emancipation under his seal.
Further, they were not in a mood to
wait; they must have satisfaction at
once. How, indeed, could they wait
with a huge, unprovisioned mob behind
them assembled to carry their demands
with a rush?
When we compare the enterprise of
the insurgents with the customs of the
time, it looks much less revolutionary
than it does in the light of modern
usage, and also much less wild and un
practical. It was no uncommon thing
in those days a custom surviving
from Anglo-$ax(n times for the peo
ple to break in upon and overawe the
judicial and legislative deliberation. It
was thus not so wild a scheme as it
now looks for the peasantry of England
to rise and try to coerce their rulers in
to the concession of freedom bv a single
act of the sovereign power. The nov
elty and also the danger Jay in the
breadth of the combination, and the
enormous numbers and mixed character
of the assembled multitudes.
CHAPTER XXVI.
Thursday, the 13th of June, was the
festival of Corpus Christi, when the
streets and churches of every town all
over the Christian world were filled
with that singular pageant intended to
bring before the bodily eyes of the
people the eternal claims of the Re
deemer and his martyrs to reverent
gratitude and adoration.
It was significant of the permanence
of the church throughout all political
commotions and changes that thi.
solemn procession was not intermitted
in London on that memorable Thurs
day. Some courage it needed to per
sist, for of all the great ceremonies of
the church there was none so likely to
he subjected by an excited populace to
unseemly insult or riotous interrup
tion. Lollardy was spreading fast
among the people; and in the eves of
the Lollards, who repudiated trunsnb-
tantiation, the adoration of the Host
was a profane rite. On ordinary occa
sions even there were many who kept
out of the way or refused to uncover
and bow the head when the sacred
pyx was carried along the street. To
send the proceesion through the city
when London was surrounded by huge
mobs, as bitterly hostile to the minis
ters of the church as they were to the
ministers of the state, and possessing
in both animosities the full sympathy
of the populace, seemed like coiittiiig
disorder. But no interruption oc
curred. The officiating priests with
their sacred charge, the long train of
white robed choristers, Ursula and her
maidens, Catherine and her wheel,
Sebastian stuck full of arrows, St.
George and the dragon, passed through
Cheapeide unmolested. It may have
been that the personators of the mar
tyrs trembled lest their acting should
be turned into earnest, but jeers here
and there from crowds buzzing with
expectation of greater novelties were
all the indignity they had t&endure.
It was the archbishop who had in
sisted that the ordinance of the church
should be observed. Sudbury was not
in a mood to yield to popular clamor.
In retiring from his high office in the
state he had wrapped himself round
with all the dignity of the church. If
he was no longer iorJ high chancellor
of England, he wan still the legate of
the pope and archbishop of Canterbury.
bo berce and to openly proclaimed was
the popular hatred, and so little did
his late colleagues show any disposi
tion to shield him that the full extent
of his danger was only too manifest.
Escape was impossible if be had wished
it, and reflecting on his toilsome
climb ont of obscurity, on the many
heavy burdens he had borne, and the
bitter ingratitude and calumny that
were his reward, he had little desire to
live, and prepared to endure the -worst
with dignity.
He had remained all night in the
Tower, and in the chapel there on
Thursday morning he celebrated early
mass before the king and his court,
and dismissed them with bis blessing
to the interview with the insurgents at
Rotherhithe.
They rowed down from the Tower
about ten o'clock. Ralph Hardelot
had a place in the barge near the king.
W ith characteristic impulsiveness Rich
ard had made a prime favorite of the
young man, and feeling the need of
trusting some one in such a crisis, and
.regarding all the statesmen around him
with suspicion as being possibly secret
lite of bit onlce Lancaster, he trusted
the confusion, find the leader, bet
them to say through him what would
give satisfaction, and arrange for
personal conference with the king

The argument approved itself to the
king's temper. The princess also waa
persuaded of itt reasonableness. Be

as had been anticipated on both sides,
except bv the unreasoimblv sanguine
lhe uobles would not comply with the
preliminarv conditions of the insurg.
ents, and the insurgents would do noth
ing until those conditions were granted.
lhe young king, indeed, was eager to
land. Ralph, seeing in this the only
chance of averting a collision, had
warmly advised him to trust his pre son
with the insurgents. The king had all
the fearlessness of his race, and the
boldness of the measure captivated his
chivalrous imagination. As the event
proved afterward, it might have been
done with saletv. Rut the counsellors
who acompauied the king would not
hear of it.
The royal party was not long return
ed to the Tower when the insurgents
wtye battering at the gates of Loudon
bridge on the south and Aldgate on the
east, and threatening to pillage and
burn the suburbs if they were not ad
mitted. The city gates were opened after
brief parley. What happened then?
Indiscriminate pillage and massacre?
So; the wealth of the capital and the
lives of the citizens were at the mercy
of these armies of shoe'ess and ragged
churls there was nothing but moral
authority to restrain them; but,
strange to say, they resisted the temp
tation. They marched through the
streets in order as peaceably as a mod
ern "demonstration" through Pall
Mall and Picadilly to Hyde Park.
Their rising was in fact a demonstra
tion, not a bloodthirsty rebellion.
Two great outrages on property were
perpetrated that afternoon, but both
were rough acts of exemplary punish
ment, both were probably deliberateiy
planned by the leaders as safety-valves
foi the excitement of their followers.
Such a miscellaneous mob. full of hi
larimis energy, rejoicing in their nn
wonted holiday from dull routine, plied
with food and drmk bv the svnipa
thetic and the sycophantic, bubbling
over with the laughter of a tself-satis'ac-
tion that a touch minht kindle into de
structive savagery, was tiangcrous if left
witnout (leamte occupation. It was
well for the unprotected wealth of Lou
don that their energies were concentrate
ed against the property of two of the
irreatest and most hated personages in
the realm, John of Gaunt and ir Rob
ert Hales, the lord high treasurer. The
men of Kent, entering by London
bridge, and the men of Essex, entering
by Aldgate, marched right through
London to John of Gaunt's great Palace
at the Savoy, wrecked it, and set it on
fire. But so sternly were the leaders
bent on repressing anvthing that
looked like private pillage that a caitiff
who wai found in possession of a silver
cup snatched out of the wealth of jew
elry, ornaments, tapestry and other
treasures with which the' palace was
furnished, was summarily seized and
flung with his plunder into the
Thames. The Havoy palace demolished,
the wrath of the insurgents was turned
next against the belongings of the
Knights of St. John, of which powreful
order Hales, the lord treasurer, was the
grand master. The Temple was first
wrecked and burned, and next a like
destruction overtook the property of
the Hospitallers in C'lerkenwell.'
Night fell at last on this day of ter
ror for all who had anything to lose,
and the citizens were left within their
bolted and barricaded doors, trembling
but untouched. Late in the evening,
within sound of the terriflic outbursts
of discordant howling from the hill op
posite, a council was held in the Tower,
to which the lord mayor and other
magnates of the city a ere invited.
Then the wise men talked together
in private chambers and in corners
and gradually they arrived at an under
standing that could not bo openly ex
pressed. They agreed to accede to the
king's wish, and allow him to grant
the charters of emancipation in hi
own name, but at for sanctioning those
charters when they had served the pur
pose of sending the rabble back to thei
homes contented that could be left for
future consideration.
Of this private understanding, how
ever, nothing was said at the meeting
of the council, and the sturdy represeu
of the city, Walworth ' and
Rramber and Phil pot, who were not in
the secret, were astonished at the pus
illanimity of the king's guardians.
Walworth was all for vigorous action
With to inaiiv men-at-arms in the
Tower and in private houses there was
no cause fur fear. Not one in twenty
of the peasants was armed, and if
sally were made at night they migh
be killed by the score, he coiitemptU'
ously said, "like fleas."
But the cautious Salisbury did not
care to run the risks of this heroic poll
cy; and bis more excellent wav, to
pacify the churls with fair words in
the meantime, was approved by the
majority. The killiug could be done
more conveniently afterwatds, when
they were separated.
Ralph waited on the finding of the
council in the apartments of the prill
cess, looking out fiom a high window
in the " hite Tower on the clamorous
moo in the distance. Clara Koos was
there. Thev understood one another
at last, though their love was still un
spoken. The princess looked on be-
nignantly; it was a relief for her cares
and fears to witness the mute inter
change of tenderness and trust.

he scepter was the emblem of pow
er. As the silver wand, so familiar in
cathedrals, waa once hollow, containing
the "virge," or rod with which cha
tisement was inflicted upon the choris
ter and younger meniliers of the foun
dation, so the royal scepter represented
the right to inflict punishment. Hence
the expression, "to sway the scepter,'
implied the holding of regal ditinitv
The scepter with the dove possessed the
additional signification of the Holy
Ghost, as controlling the actions of the
sovereign. The same idea was con
veyed by Rheims by the beautiful cere
mony of letting loose a number of doves
at the coronation of the French kings.

A Crete Blackboard,
A "blackboard" of green artificial
slate, which, it is claimed, is more
restful to the eye than the old boards,
has been invented by A. W. Parsliall
and was first adopted by the public
schools in Little Rock, Ark. In fact,
many large cities lime utilized this
new invention and oculists cive it the
highest recommendation. It is believed
that children with weak eyes are often
subjected to serious personal injury
through the constant use of black
boards, which are known tot e injurious
to the eves. Green is nature's color
and is naturally restful to the eyes.
So far the invention has met with
favor among those who have experi
mented with it.

Criminal Carelessness.
A woman was recently robbed of
$3,000 In bills at 8 o'clock at night,
her dress being literally cut from her
liody by the thieves. An unprotected
woman has no business to be carrying
$3,000 at night anywhere unless she
is prepared to take the consequence.
Within the past year the newspapers j
have recorded hundreds of cases of I
murder, assault, torture, robbery and
arson, all due to the criminal careless-!
ness of people keeping In their houses j
or on tueir persons, large sums of
money which should be safely lodgixl
in the banks. Many people are urelu
diced against the banks, but where
there Is one bank failure there are a
hundred robberies. It Is easy to take
proper precautions but practically im
possible to catch thieves.

Where Bronze It Weak.
An astonishing decrease in the ten
sile strength tnd ductility of bronze at
temperatures above 400 degrees Fabren
licit has been reported by Prof. C. Hach
of Stuttgart. With an alloy of 91 per
cent copper, 4 of zinc tnd 6 of tin,
these properties were reduced above 6
per cent at 400 degrees, but about 50
per cent at 000 dcrees. This discov
ery suggests caution in the use of
bronze for engine parts in contact with
superheated steam.
