guildsman alone ventured to speak.
BY the beard of our Dean n said he rather
than suffer that, would be roasted at this
fire, like Messire St. Lawrence, for can never

Breydel remarked that his threat had rather
damped the spirits of his companions, for
which he was sorry. as he was himself inclined
to merriment Anxious to restore their cheer
fulness, he raised the cask, and, filling q bum
per, he held up his can, and said:
"Well, my men, why are you silent
There, take that, and drink that you may find
your tongues. I am vexed to have spoken 80
to you. Do I not know You we'll Do not
know that the true butchers blood flows in
your veins Well, then, here's to you, COM
radesw
An expression of satisfaction burst from the
company, and they broke out into loud,
CHEEKY laugh when they found that the threat
of their Dean had no serious meaning.
"Drink againw continued Breydel, filing
| his can afresh "the cask is yours, and you
| may drink it to the dregs. Your comrades who
are on guard shall have another supplied to
them. Now we see that succours are arriving
! from every city, and that we are so strong, we
may well be merry"

Like genuine citizen of Druges, Breyde
bore no love to the men of Client. The two
. leading cities of Flanders kept up an heredi
tary rivalry, and almost enmity, with eacf
other not that the one boasted braver citizen
than the other, but that simply that each die

CHAPTER Xxx.

Itwas already dark night when Guy reached
Courtrai, with about sixteen thousand men.
The inhabitants, apprised of their approach by
mounted messengers, stood in dense crowds on
the walls of the city, and welcomed their right
full lords with glad and joyous acclamations,
amidst the blaze of innumersble torches. AS
soon as the host had entered the city, and
been distributed throughout its various quar-
ters the citizens of Courtrai brought forth
every kind of food and refreshment; they
placed before their weary brethren large fla
gons of wine to restore their exhausted
strength, and kept watch over them the whole
night. While they were embracing one an
other with transport, and expressing their af-
fection in every possible manner, some hasten
ed to meet the wearied women aud children,
and relieve them of the burdens they carried
Not II few of these poor creatures, whose feet
were torn and bleeding with their painful
march, were borne to the city on the broad
shoulders of tho brave citizens of Courtrai /;
all were lodged and carefully tended and COM
forted in every way. The gratitude of the
men of Courtrai, aud their extreme kindness,
strengthened wonderfully the courage of the
men of Bruges; for mems souls are ever en-
larged and elevated by frank and noble treat
ment.
Matilda and Maria, the sister of Adolf van
Nieuwland, with q considerable number of the
noble ladies of Bruges, had been some hours in
Courtrai before the army arrived. They had
been already received by their friends, and had
busted themselves in providing shelter and
quarters for the knights and uobles, their relA-
tives and friends; so that on their arrival, Guy
and his companions found supper already pre-
pared for them.
Early the next morning Guy and a few of the
most distinguished Inhabitants reconnoitered
the fortifcations of the citadel; and found, to
their great dismay, that it was impossible to
take it without large siege train. The walls
were far too lofty, and the overhanging towers
allowed too many arrows to bs discharged on
the advancing besiegers. He saw that bold
attack might easily cost him Thousand men
