so recently and 50 vaipgloriously sailed
Meanwhile the men from the marke
place had swarmed across the undefendet
oarricade, and fell on hotly upon tn,
other side; and Dick must once agail
face about and proceed TO drive then
back. Once again the fpirit Of his mel
prevailed; they cleared the street in .
triumphant style, but even as they did 81
the others issued again out of the houses
snd took them, third time, upon the
rear.
TIE Yerkists began to be ecsttered
several times Dick found himself alone
among mis- foes and plying his bright
sword for life; several times he WAS con
scicus of 3 hurt. And meanwhile the
lght swayed to and fro in the street with
out determinste result.
Suddenly Dick WAS aware OF great
trumpeting about the outskirts OF the
town. The war-cry OF York began to be
rolled up to heaven, IS by many and tri-
umphsnt voices. And at the same time
the men in frort Of him began to
give ground rapidly, streaming out OF the
street and back upon the msrket-plsce.
Some one gave the word to fy. Trum-
pets were blown dis!rsctedlY, some for s
rally, some to charge. 1t WAS plain that
s great blow had been struck, and the
Lancsstrisns were thrown, at least for

And then, Ike q thester triek, there
followed the last set Of Shoreby Battle.
The men in front of Richard turned tail,

ment there came through the market

Dick to be the right man to pursue Sir
Daniel, he was not one 10 change; and
he soon proved 1t by shouting after Cat
esby to be speedy, for the paladin was
waiting.
In the meanwhile, Dick turned to the
old shfpmsn, who had seemed equally in
different to his condemnation and to his
subsequent release.
"Arolaster," said Dick, "I hsve done
you Ill; but now, by the rood, think l

Blu: the old skipper only looked upon
him duly and he'd his peace.
"Come," continued Dick, as life Is q
