BY WILLIAM M1NTO.
CIIAPTKIt XXV Continued.
"Then," cried Mall impetuously
tnrninjr tolilH collen?uos,"c must havo
thu charters with iin. Wo must not
lenvo London wlthoufc them. It is
accessary thnt wo tcu tho hin alone."
Tyler mid nothing, but by n look ad-nionif-Iicd
this impetuous speaker of hit
indiscretion in thtta revealing their
plans. Kirhy uIfo cast n leprnvitin
glance. Thu inr.n of quiet intrigue and
organization was often annoyed kby the
'man of burning words.
Italph did not seo tills bv-plny, but,
an Itall seemed to address liirri, mado
answer hy viy of excusing thu king,
that he could not grant charters with
nut thu nHcunt of his council.
"Wo will ho his council I" cried the
ilury orator. "Wo will quicken their
delih'oratloiiHl"
Then Kirhy had n question to ask in
his orillnnry smooth voice. Did the
King show tlo en ire willingness to
remedy abuses when Halph first con
ferred with hlin six woukfheforo?
ltnlph assured ltim that it was to, an
answer at which the llttlo man's keen
eyes twinkled, whilo ho siijriR'stcd to
tho captain that Master llardolot
might now Imj dlHinlHHod with thanks
to the king for hid graciotiR message,
xnd an answering assurance that they
would jver ho loyal to him nud hin
lielrs, that he need fear no hurt fom
them, and that in nil they did they
had regard to tho honor of hiniHclf and
tho roiilm.
ltnlph left the presence of tho in
argent leaders with n heavy heart,
which all his now-found jov and hopo
could hardly lift ahovo the oppression
f painful forohodiug On two pointH
it was clear that they had madu up
thulr minds inflexibly: they must toe
thu king in person, and they nitiHt have
rhnrtors of umanciiation uudur his seal.
Further, they were not in a mood to
wait; they m tint have satisfaction at
once, now, indeed, could they wait
with a liugo, unprovlsloncd moh hehind
them iiHsunibled to carry thulr demands
with a rtiuli?
When wo compjiro tho enterprise of
tho iiiHiirgents witli tho ciihtouiH of tho
time, it looks :nuch Iojh revolutionary
than it does in tho light of modem
neago, and also much less wlhl and un
practical. It wuh no uncommon thing
in tho'co days a custom surviving
(torn AngloHnx(n tlmoH for tho peo
plo to break In upon nud overawe the
judicial and legislative deliberation. It
wits thus not ho wild a scheme as it
now lookH for thu jtensantry of Kuglaud
to riso aifd try to eooreo their rulors In
to thu coiicokhIoii o'f freedom hy a slnglo
act of tho sovereign power. Thu nov
elty and also tho danger lay in thu
breadth of thu combination, and tho
enormous numbers and mixed character
of thu nsscnibled multitude,
CHAl'TKIt XXVI.
Thursday, thu Kith of June, was tho
festival of Corpus Chrlstl, when the
(treets and churches of every town nil
over thu Christian world were filled
'with that singular pageant intended to
fcriug before thu bodily eyes of thu
people tho eternal claim of thu lie-
deuiuur and his martyrs to reverent
. gratitude and adoration.
11 wns eigiiincnnt ol tho permanence
of tho church throughout all political
rommotioim and chnugoR that this
lolumn proanslon was not intermitted
In bunion ou that momorahlu Thurs
day. Home courage it needed to per
list, for of nil tho great ceremonies of
thu ohnrch there was none so llkolv to
Tie" subjected by an excited populnco to
unseemly insult or riotous interruption,-
Ixillnnly was spreading .fast
among.' thu peoplu; and in tho eves of
thu llofhirds, who repudiated trniihuh-
tnntlation, tho adoration of thu llo.-t
wauiirofunu rlto. On onllnary occa
sions oven there wero many whotkupt
out of the- way or refused to uncover
and bow thu head when tho s.icred
pyx was carried along thu street, To
Bond tho- procession through the city
when London was surrounded by hugu
mobs, as bitterly hostile to thu 'minis
ters of thu church as they weiu to thu
ministers of thu statu, and possessing
in both animosities tho full sympathy
of thu populace, seemed lUo 'courting
disorder. lhu no interruption oc
curred. The olllciatlng priests with
their sacred ehf.rgu. the long train of
whito robed choristers, I'rsula and her
maidens, Catherine and her wiicol,
Fobastian stuck full of nrrows, St,
(leorgo and thu dragon, passed through
Gheupsidu unmolested. It may have
been tli.it thu pursonators of thu mar
tyrs t tumbled lest their acting bIiouIiI
bo turned into earnest, but Jeers hero
and thero from crowds bur-zing with
expectation of greater novelties wuro
all thu indignity they had to enduro.
It was the archbishop who had In
sisted that thu ordinance of tho church
should bo observed. Sudbury was not
In a mood to yield to popular clamor.
In retiring from his high oltlce in thu
state he had wrapHd himself round
with all the dignity of thu church, If
ho was no longer lunl high chancellor
ol Kngl.iud, ho was still tho legato of
the pope and archbishop of Canterbury.
Po llorco and so openly proclaimed una
tyio H)pulur hatred, and (o little did
his Into colleagues show any distKisU
tlon to shield him that the full extent
of hia danger was only too manifest.
Escape was impossible If be had wished
It, and reflecting ou his tollBonto
climb out of obscurity, on tho many
hvAvy bunions ho had borne, and tho
bitter ingratltudo and calumny that
were his reward, he hud little desire to
live, And prepare! to endure tho worst
villi dignity.
Ho had remained nil night in tho
Towor, and in the chapel thero on
Thursday morning ho celebrated enrly
mass before tho king nud his court,
nud dismissed them with his blessing
to tho interview with tho insurgents at
Itothcrhltho.
Thoy rowed down from tho Tower
about ten o'clock. ltnlph Hardelot
had a placo in thu barge near thu king.
With characteristic Impulsiveness Kleh
ard had mado a priiuo fnvorito of tho
young man, and feeling thu need of
truting fcomo ono in such n crisis, and
regarding all tho statesmen around I4I111
with Mispiclon as being possibly HLfret
allies of his unlcu Lancnstor, hu trusted
ltnlph Implicitly. Ills nobles did not
like this childish partiality, and spoko
ono to another about thu intruder with
contemptuous anger; hut it was not n
time to squabble witli their roynl
mastoi about Mich an insignificant per
son, and the princess teemed to approvo
of her son's fancy to hnvo tho young
man near ills person.
As thoy rowed down tho river thoy
found tho banks by Rothcrhltho crowd
ed with a rugged and ragged mob of
peasants. Thoy also had beon prepared
by their chaplain for tho work of tho
day; hut in placo of thu solemn nines
thulr morning service had beon a rous
ing sermon from John Hall on tho in
iquity of bondage and tho natural
equality of men. (Hall's famous text
on tho occasion
"Whan Adam dalf and Kvo span
jWo wns thanno tho geiitllmnn?" -
in sometimes referrod to as If it had
beon his own composition. It was
really n familiar cofntry proverb. Tho
equality cf man in tho primitive state
was equally a commonplace, to bo
found in most deeds of manumission.
It was in thu practical application that
Half differed fiom his contempornriei.
Tho attempt at a conference failed,
as had been anticipated on both sides,
except by tho unreasonably sanguine.
Thu nobles would not comply witli thu
preliminary conditions of tho insurg
ents, and thu insurgents would do noth
ing until thoo eoudltloivjfworo granted.
The young king, indeed, was eagur to
laud, lhilph, seeing in this thu only
chance of averting n collision, had
warmly advised him to trust his preson
with thu insurgents. Tho king bad all
thu fearlessness of IiIh race, and tho
boldness of tho monsuro captivated his'
chivalrous imagination. Ah the event
proved afterward, it might have beon
dnno with safety. But tho counpellors
who acompanicd tho king would not
hear of it.
The royal party was not long return
ed to thu Tower when tho Insurgents
wuru battering at the gates of London
bridge on lhu south and Aldgate on thu
east, and threatening to pillago mid
burn thu suburbs if thoy wuro not ad
mitted. Tho city gates wuro opened aftor
hnof parley. What happened than?
Indiscriminate pillage and massacre?
No; thu wealth of thu capital and the
lives of the citizens wero nt thu murcy
of these armies of sliou'osn and ntgued
churls theru was nothing but moral
authority to restrain them; hut,
strange to say, thoy resisted tlu temp,
tatlon. They marched through thu
streets in order us peaceably us a mod-
urn "demonstration" through l'all
Mull and l'lcadllly to Hydo Park.
Thulr rising was in fact n domoustra
tluiij not a bloodthirsty rebellion.
Two groat outrages on property woro
perpetrated that afternoon, but both
woro rough acts of uxumplary punish
ment, both wero probably deliberately
planned by tho leaden as safoty-valvcs
foi tho excitement of their followers.
Such a miscellaneous mob, full of hi
larious energy, rejoicing in their un
wonted holiday from'dull routine, plied
with food and drink by tho sympa
thetic nud thu sycophantic, bubbling
over with tho laughter of n self-satisfaction
that n touch might kindle into de
structive savugery,was dangerous if left
without definite occupation. It was
wull for thu unprotected wealth of Lon
don that thulr energies wero concentrat
ed against thu property of two of thu
greatest and most hated personages in
the realm, John of Gaunt nud Sir Rob-
ert Utiles, thu lord high treasurer. Thu
men of Kent, entering by London
bridge, and the men of Kssex, entering
by Aldgatu, marched right through
Umdon to John of (inunt's great l'alace
at thu Savoy, wrecked It, and set it on
tire. Hut so sternly were thu leaders
bent on repressing anything that
looked like private pillago that a caitiff,
who wa found in possession of n silver
cip snatched out of tho wealth of jew
elry, ornaments, tapestry and other
trcAinttH with which tho palaco was
furniehud, was summarily sulml nud
thing with hia plunder into tho
Thames. Tho Savoy palaco demolished,
thu wiuth of thu insurgents wna turned
next against thu belongings of thu
Knights of fc-t. John, of which powrefut
order Hales, tho lord treasurer, was tho
grand master. Tho Tumplu was first
wrecked and I hi mod, and next a like
destruction overtook tho property of
tno Hospitallers n Clorkeuwull,
Night foil nt last on this day of ter
ror for nit who had anything to lose,
and tho citizens were left within their
bolted and barricaded doors, trembling
but untouched. Late in the evening,
within eound of tho torrifllo outbursts
of discordant howling from the hill op
posite, a council was held in the Tower,
to which tho lord mayor and other
magnates of tho city were invited. The
young king went with a plan to pro
peso and a royal determination to havo
his own way.
The easy capture of the city sates
hod increased his suspicious of his reg
ular counsellors, and thrown him still
more unroMirvedly upon tho confidence
of his young favoiite.
With Halph thu mcditnMvo sadness
of the previous evening hud given placo
to Ills natural energy and eiipornoss,
and a high' strung resolution to bo of
(orvlce. Thero was no ono near tho
king to point out what ho saw to ho the
clear path, and when the priuco9 con
sulted him ho did not hositato to speak
out with all his forco, and urge that
tho king should put trust in thu loyal
profoisions f tho insurgent commons.
Their conduct during tho tnv was nil
in favor of tho honotv of their declar
ations, and showed also that tho lend
ers had siiflicient control oer their
followers to l.u ublo to guarantee what
thoy promlfed. Tito damage inflicted
ou thu king's uncle and on the order to
which tho troisnrcr belonged was quite
in accordance with their good mth and
thulr .power to maintain disiplinu.
Hotter, Ihtiph urged, grant what tho
leaders asked while their authority was
still supremo; if thu lenders mndu no
way with Iholr dumands thu control
woiild probably soon pass out of their
hands, and i.ngovurned and ungovern
able fury take thu place of docile obedi
ence. He volunteered to go out into
tho confusion, find tho leaders, beg
tlium to sny through him what would
give rrvtidnctlon, and arrange for a
personal conference with thu king If
thoy required this for thejr followers
as 11 public testimony of thu king's good
will.
Tho nrgumont npproved Jtsolf to tho
king's temper. Tho princess also was
persuaded of its reasonableness. Ho
foro thu meeting of tho council Halph
mado his way to tho loadets, nud
brought back from thorn their condi
tions for conforenco on tho following
day. More than onco ho encountered
members of tho council about tho
Towor, and their haughty looks showed
him that his activity was observed and
not npproved of. Thoy had heard of
vhat ho was doing, and of tho king's
willingness to meet tho commons per
sonally and grant thu desired emanci
pation. Tho princods saw thum sever
ally, and urged that it was bettor to
vield this than to losu nil, as In thulr
desperate catu they teemed likely to do.
Thon tho wiso men talked toguthor
in pi I vote chambers and in corners,
and gradually they arrived ntaii under
standing that could not bo openly ex
pressed. 'J hoy agreed to accede to tho
king's wish, and nllow him to grant
lhu charters of emancipation hi his
own name, but ns for sanctioning thoso
charters when they had served tho pur
pose of sending tho rabble back to their
homes contento 1 that could bo left for
future consideration.
Of this private understanding, how
over, nothing was said nt tho meeting
of thu council, and the stunly represen
tatives of tho city, Walworth nnd
llrniuhor nnd Phllpot, who were not in
thu sucrut, wore astonishod nt thu pus
illanimity of thu king's guardians.
Walworth was.all for vigorous nction.
Witli so many mon-nt-nrms in tho
Toner nud in private houses there was
no cause for fuar. Not ono in twenty
o( thu punsantH was armed, and if a
sally wuru mado at night thoy might
bo killed by tho i-coro, ho Vontcniptu
ously said, "liko lluas."
Hut the cautious Salisbury did not
enro to run the risks of this heroic poli
cy; and his moro excellent way, to
pacify the churls with fair words In
tho meantime, was approved by tho
majority. Thu killing could ho done
moro conveniently afterwards, when
thoy wuru topnrutud.
Halph waited on tho finding of tho
council in thu apartments of tho prin
cess, looking out fiom n high window
in thu Whito Towur on thu clamorous
mob in tho distance. Clara Koos was
thero. They understood ono another
nt last, though thole love was still un
spoken, lhu princess looked on bo
nigunntiy; it was a relief tor hue caros
and fears to witness tho muto inter
change of tenderness and trust.
