CHAITEK XIV Continued.
From nil tlio tumult nnd notation of
eoiil produced by tlio conflict between
will nnd liiiKcsriiiK dcYiro, itnlpli'H main
purpose gained greatly In motive force.
Public i-plrit, zenl for tlio common
good, In often reinforced in tliia uny by
porhonal feeling dammed up mid denied
free con rue in ittt natural cbanuel. Ilio
energy tliuu engendered demauilH an
outlet, nnd preReH with powerful im
pulse behind any noble purpoyo in
willed tlio heart finds compenmiMon.
Hut to this end the old channel niiiHt
bo securely and resolutely cloHed. Kor
tuno favored Kulph also in IiIh will to
hold forwnrd without looking back or
turning iiahlo.
It ho hnppencd that Ilio Princess
Joanna, tho young king's mother, the
widow of the Illaek Prince, interested
herself warmly in Clarn llooa. Tho
Fair Mnld of Kent hnd had her own
lovo troubloi, nnd nffnirs of tho henrt
nppcnled to her. Only tho yonr boforo
alio hnd favored nnd hud succeeded in
effecting n lovo mutch botween her own
dnughter, Mnudo, reputed tho fairest
Indy in England, nnd a rroncli prison
or, tho young Count do St. Paul.
Clnrn, wedded coremoninlly to n bruto
whom she rofused to ncknowledge ns
her liUBUiind, Interoated tho kind heart
ed princess, and hor intoiust took n
practical form. Hliu rorolvcd to bring
lnlliiuficu to bear on the popo to procure
n dissolution of tho mnrriago.
Hut mntch breaking without frosli
match making could interest no good
naturcd, motherly womnu. According
ly tho princess' phuiHHtrotched further.
Slio had seen tho manly young cleric,
nnd hIio had Heeu how Clarn looked at
him. That wilful young woman could
na n rule keep her own counsel well,
but thin secret, in tho ngitnting scenes
through which alio had passed, It hnd
boon beyond hor power to conceal from
nn obaurvaiit uyo with n aympnthetlc
clow. Tho pnncoaa hnd watched her
fnco in tho gnllery when Italph wan,
queatloned boforo tho king, and again
in tlio Hats when hialifo wnaindnmior.
Hut what woro tho young mnn'n feel
ings? This alao kindly curioalty
prompted tho benignant princess to
discover if slio could. Bho sent her
chaplain, Father William doFulboumo,
on a moaangu of inquiry.
Now tho chaplnin, though n man of
tact nnd discretion, had no great lovo
for tho disciples of wycllffo, and there
was n point in his Interview with Hulph
where this nntlpnthy got tho hotter of
him. Ho wiih n friar of thu Dominican
Order, nnd friars of nil tho four orders
woro denounced by Wycllffo uh Cnln's
kin, tho children of .Indus. Ilenco it
wus natural that hu should tlud it hard
to forego n 'ih an id of showing his con
tempt (or tho heretic.
The prineoHs' llrat chargo to him hnd
boon to iibBiiro Kulph of her personal
sympathy with tho poor commons, and
to bid him convey this uHmirnnco to
thoir loaders. It wus her son's popu
larity that alio hud in view in sending
thU mcsHUgo, nnd tho chaplain deliv
ered it with gruclous dignity.
Thou tho chaplain begun toprobo tho
young man gently on n more tender
point, Informing him of tho prlnrcaa
Interest in Clnrn, nnd putting questions
about her mid tho Knight of fituriuero.
Ho mentioned us his ronton for put
ting thofo questions that tho princess
wus minded to procure n dissolution of
tho marriage.
"You seem troubled, my son," tho
rlinplulu anld, in n kindly tone.
"Come, unburden yourself to mo. Con
fess. Do you not lovo this lady? It
may yet Ihi lawful for you to lovo l.er."
"I did lovo her, father," nnswored
ltnplh, hoarsely, "and it bus been n
hard struggle to forgot her. I hud for
gotten. I could think of her calmly.
My honrt wus nt pence. Hut now"
"Vou hnvo soon her again, and tho
ttrugglo Is harder than before?"
."It is harder. Hut I do not des
pair." "Ho comforted, my son, Tho church
is lenient to thoso who do their utmost
nguliibt sin. And it may yet bo law fill.
My ludy is u gruclous princess, and bus
sot hor henrt on tho removal of this
impediment."
"It is impossible," said Hulph, in a
firmer tone. Somehow tho suggestion
that had disturbed him so much wheu
iteuiiio involuntarily from his own
imagination disturbed him less nnd was
easier to resist when itcamobofpro him
delluitely from human lips.
"Why impossible?" usked tho chap
lain. "Much is poslsblo m princes,
wheu they move tho holy father against
what is in itself n scandal and n profan
ation." "It is not that," unsworcd Hulph.
"I luio nuulo a vow. I have forsworn
earthly lovo."
"To whom?" said tho chaplain,
sharply. It wus hero that his antip
athy to Wycllffo crossed tho kindly in
terest hu hud begun to tuko iu tho
young man.
Hulph did not answer.
"From rush vows," continued tho
chaplain, "nuulo without tho sanction
of tlio church, tho church will readily
grunt absolution on true repentance uud
(lllO H)UttUCO,"
"Mine wus not n rush vow," said
Hulph, ginvoly. Tho chaplain was un
intentionally strengthening his resolu
tion, j
"I did not know,1' pursued tho chap
lain, "that your master Wycllffo bet
much otoro by "vows. Ho has disre
garded his own lightly enough."
"Therein ho is misjudged," said
Hulph, uud thereafter held his peace
while tho friar vented his auger against
mmmmmmm
the heretic doctor. Master Fu.bourno,
though a hot tempered mini, wns natur
ally gentlo, nnd, meeting with no re
sistance, ho soon recovered his equan
imity, nnd remembered that ho hnd
como ns n friendly ninbnssador to the
miaguided youth.
"Pence bo with you, my son," he
snld, ut longth. "I am sorry that your
oliHtinncy should cross tho kind inton
tlona of ao gracious nnd benign a ludy
ns tho pdncoss."
Hulph i begged him to ntBiuo tlio
priiuoss of his humblo devotion nnd
gratitude Thou, us thu chaplain wns
leaving, ho preferred n healliiting but
enrneat request. Although, ho snld, ho
could not lovo this lady, ho hnd tho
deepest concern for hor wolfaro, and ho
knew of another, nn honeat gontloman,
who loved hor dearly, and might, if im
pediments wero removed, protond to
hor hand. This was his brother Hog
innld. If tho princess could furthei
his suit, it would bo for tho happlnoss
of nil.
All this was reported in tlmo to
Clara, whom tho ptincess took into hor
train, nnd removed with hor next dny
from Castle Hedlnghani. And how did
Clnrn take Hnlph's self-abnegation nnd
enrneat suit for his brother? She
brurd It nil very domuroly, but alio was
a wilful and tenacious porson, and ilid
not lightly abandon what sho had sot
her henrt upon. Sho laughed to her
self in hnppy contontment when sho
wiisnlnno. It wns clear Hint Hnlnh
Latlll loved her, however much ho might
struggle against it, nnu tuts wns
enough. Timo would bring tlio rest.
CHAPTER XV.
To find Simon d'Ypres In Stourbridge
Fair wns not to oh By n tnsk ns Ralph
hud expected, hut ho had found his
booth nnd bis clork, Lawrence, nnd had
with Homo troublo ascertained from
Hint worthy tho information that a
great mooting had been plnnned for the
following Sunday nt Wnndloury, nnd ro
until tho next Sunday Ralph was com
pelled to wait.
"Tho hour is midday," said Law
rence. "Put a straw in your mouth,
or our pickets will not pass you."
Hurley's purpose in sending Ralph
Hardolot to Cambridge with a commu
nication from tho king to tlio lenders of
tho discontented commons wns of an ex
tremely slmplo nnturo. Ho hoped
through Hnlph to lay hands on a whole
knot of leading conspirators at ono
swoop. And this was his plan
Ho anticipated that Ralph, fully bo
lioving In tlio king's power to net out
Ills wishes, would bo perfectly frnuk
nnd open in his movements, ns the
hearer of a mossngo that might ns well
bo proclaimed from tho housetops.
Thi'.t the king wns wus willing to in
quire into tho grievances of his poor
subjects wns not n dangerous secret,
sinco this very willingness was n prool
that ho harbored no ill-will to their
champions. It would not occur to
Italph that there wns any ronson for
secrecy nn regarded his dealings with
those champions. Ho would not at
least hosltato to talk freely to nny one
w ho should bo designated to him us a
proper recipient of his confldoucu us
tho negotiations-went on. Accordingly
Hurley deslgnntod tho Master of Pem
broke as a porson to whom ho might
from day to day report what progress
ho hnd made. A meeting would prob
ubly bo held by Simon d'Ypros and Ills
friends to take into consideration tho
king's proposals. Of thii mooting the
master would bo Informed, nnd lie was
coiltldontinlly instructed to inform tho
sheriff of tho county, who uguiu had
his instructions to arrest tho whole
gang ut their rendezvous.
This wus Hurley's plan In its aim
pllclty, based on thu supposition that
Italph, his emissary, would coucoil
nothing, us seeing nothing that needed
concealment. Hut if Hulph should be
secrotho, hu hnd provided for this also,
Tho Master of Pembroke wns to provide
a trusty man to watch his movements.
On tho evening aftor Ids vain search
for Simon d'Ypres, tho muster sent for
Hnlph, nnd cheerfully expressed n
hope that ho hnd hud good speed, Hnd
ho seen tho redoubtable Simon? How
was tho king's message rocoived? In
answer to which and other questions,
Hulph promptly told him how tho mer
chant's lioutoiunt had protended not to
know him ut tlrst, and how utlimntely
ho hnd been promlsid an interview
with tho agitator on tho following Sun
day. In fact ho kept back nothing ex
cept his knowledge of tho secret sign,
which ho did not mention nt till, and
tho pluco of meeting, which ho said bo
hud engaged not to reveal.
Tho master smiled tho smile of n
kindly patron, and said ho was quite
right. A certain amount of secrecy wus
a matter of course in affairs of the kind.
Ralph upologlzed again for keeping
anything buck, and tho minister ro
peutod that ho would on no account
press for contldenco on tho jKilnt,
What Indeed was tho need (or press
ing when all that was required in order
to know tho place of meeting was to
have Hulph followed on tho appo'utod
day? Tho unsuspecting youth had not
made n secret of tho day. Tho day
once known, tho little arrangement con
teiqplated by Hurley could easily bo
carried out.
On Sunday morning soon after ten
Ralph walked out to Wandlebury, tak
ing tho old Roman road right over tho
ridge of tho Gog Magog hills. As he
went along lie, could see many parties
converging on the same spot, and here
and there tho slopes of Gog Magog lit
tle groups wore visible, tho members of
which seemed to him to ba lying or
squatting In mere idle enjoyment until
he observed that they invariably inter
cepted anybody moving in the direction
of the old ramp. From this he judged
that they were acting aa outlying pick
ets. '
IT himself was hailed by the com
mandant of one of thoso posts just as
ho gained the crest of tho hill. The
man came down frcm the bank where
ho was lying with his companions, and
asked Ralph whither ho wan going.
Ralph twirled tho straw in his mouth
nnd nnswered, "To Wandlobury."
"Youdon't know mo?" raid the man,
with n smile. Ho wns dressed liko n
we'l-to-do Inboror in his Sundny
clou es, elosnly aim von, a red hood over
his bend with n long lirlpip hanging
down behind. A vory rospectnblo fig
tiro ho looked in his gray kirtlo reach
ing to tho knees, nnd his worsted gait
ers of n rolor to mntch tho hood.
Rnlph stnrtcJ nt tho volco nnd looked
ngnln. It wns Simon d'Ypres nt Inst.
Tlio disguised merchant called to ono
of his comrndes to tnko his plnco.nnd
walked along with Hnlph towards tho
enmp.
"Lnwronco has told mo of your mes
sHgo," ho said.
"And what do you think of it?"
naked Ralph, cngorly.
Tho merchant wns silont for a llttlo.
"I foar it comes too late," ho said at
last. "Tho stono is rolling too fast to
bo Btoppod."
"But tho king," said Ralph, "is
most anxious to do justice. You should
have soon how his oyes sparkled and
bis faco glowed. How can it be too lato
if ho fiots wiso nnd just mon to find out
whnt Is amiss, nnd uros all his power
to undo injustico and givo tlio poor
commons tho protection that thoy ask?
How can it bo too lato if no is will
ing and nhlo to do this?"
Tho merchant shook his head.
"Willing yes. I rojoico to henr of
his willingness. Hut is ho nblo? That
Is mora doubtful. Tho king is in tho
hnnds of his nobles. They will not
lot him grnnt whnt tho poor commons
nsk nnd indood," ho added, thought
fully, "many of thorn ask mora than
justlco."
"Hut you should not oncourngo thorn
in this," cried Hulph. "Justlco thoy
should hnvo, but more than justlco if
thoy ask this thoy nro no bettor than
tyrants thomsolvos, nnd honest mon
should not aid and abet thorn."
Ralph spoko warmly, and In tho
heat of ills oloqiffhco turned his faco to
his companion, trying an it woro to
catch and hold his eyos with his own.
Tho morchnnt smiled and said, "You
Boom to accuse mo."
Italph hastened to disclaim this.
"No," said tho merchant, earnestly,
"I do not aid and abet thorn. I do
not oncourngo them in asking more
than justice Hut who shall measuro
what justice Is! Mon who hnvo long
suffered injustico nro not good judges of
their own claims. Thoy aro hot for
rovongo: when thoy think that all
thoy want is their own rights, thoy nro
really burning to uvengo old injurios.
I hnvo dono my host not to oncourngo
tlioin in this, but to dlacourago them.
Hut thoy liston to others moro than to
mo. Thoy liston most willingly to
wild babblers who shout against tho
rich and thoir luxuries and promiso to
drug thorn down. You a ill hoar thorn
todny. I hnvo brought you to this
pluco that you might hear thorn, nnd
seo how greedily tho poor commons
swallow their rhetoric nnd thoir gibes.
It is natural enough: tho rich hnvo
shown them llttlo sympathy. You will
hour for yourself how your promiso of
Inquiry is laughed to scorn and dorlded
ns a mere trick. It is natural again:
the rioor commons have boon so ofton
docolved."
"Hut," said Ralph, "why do you not
speak out ngainat those blind guides?
Why do you suffer thorn to mialond the
pooplo?"
Tho merchant shrugeod his should
ers. "I am no orator," ho said.
"Hut thoso mon aro nothing but ora
tors. Thoy lovo only to hear them
selves talk and seo the pooplo moved
by thoir words."
"Nay, Unit Ib too sovoro a Judgment.
Thoy aro truly angry agulnst wrong."
"Hut if thoy hnvo oloquonco without
discretion, why do you not tell tho poo
plo so?"
Tho morchnnt smiled, "The people
would not believe me."

Why EatUr li "Movable" Feast
During all of March tho sun is com

hence our Easter depends on this date.
This latter always comes on tho Sunday
following tho tlrst full moon after tho

its being so "movublo" a feast.
