only pressed upon Dicks srn.
Forth, then, they went, through oper

pace or two behind, noE r.llyiEg them
upon their silence, and row drawing

lives.
Sn', indeed, in the distance of the
wood, rhe riders of Tuns,ail might be
Geerd urging their pursuit; AID from
line to time cries or the clash of steel
announced the shock Of enemies. Bat
in these young folk, bred amorg
the alarms Of war, and fresh from sucn G
multiplicity Of dangers, neither iesT ror
pity could be lightly Weakened. Content
TO tind the sounds still drawing farther
ana farther away, they gave up their
hearts to the enjoyment OF the hour,
walking siresdy, as Alcs put il, in 8 wed
cling procession; and neither the rude
solitude Of the forest, nor the cold CT the
freezing night. hsd say force to shadow
or distract their happiness.
a: length, from a rising hull, they look
below them on the deli Of Hollywood
the great windows Of the forest abbey
shone with torch aud candle; its higa
pinnac.es ard spires arose very clear and
silent, and the gold rood upon the top
most summit glittered brightly In the
moon, All shout if, in the open Glade,
camp les were oucning, and the ground
Was thlck with huis; and acroes the
nlaet OF the picture the frozen river
curved.
"By the mass" said Richard, ".here
Nre L 1rd Foxhem's fellows still eucamped.
The messenger hath cerTsinly m!scarried.
Wei, then, so better. We have power at
hand to face Sir Daniel"
But If LORD FJxnsm's men still lag en-
csLlped in the long holm at Hollywood, il
''ss from different reason from the one
suupose+by Dick. Tley nal N .rched, in
deed for Shoreby, but ere they were hal!
way tnither c second messenger met them
sud Dade them return TO their mornings
camp TO bal tEe road against LGnCsstrian
fugitives and to be so much nearer the
main army of York. For Richard q
Gloucester, having flashed the
battle and stamped out his foes
N thst district, WAS already on the
march to rej0in his brother; AID rot
looking after the return Of mp Lord Fox
hams retsiDels, Crookoack himself drew
rein before the abbey door. 1t was in
honour Of this august visitor that the
windows shonesWith lights; and at the
hour Of Dicks arrival with his sweet
hesrt and her friend, the whole ducsl
party wss being entertained in the refec-
tory with the splendor Of that powerful
ard luxurious monastery.
Dick, not quite With his good will, WAS
brought before them. Gloucester, sick
WIKI fatigue, sat leaning upon one head
his white and terrifying countensrce;
Lord FOxhsm, half recovered from his
wound, was in plsce Of honour en- bis
left.
'How, SIR" asked Richard. "H.ve ye
brought S Dapiel's heao?"
"My Lord Duke" replied Dice, stoutly
elougl, but with qualm at hear, 81
hsve Got even the gooc fortune to return
win my command. l have been, so
please your grace, well beaten"
Gloucester looked upon him with
formidable trown.
~ gave you fifty lances,' sir" he
ssid
"My Lord Duke, had but fifty men
ct srms," replied the young Enight.
How is this?" said Gloucester. "He |
did ssk me fifty larces"
"May it please your grace" replied |
Catesby, smoothly, "tor a pursuit We
gave him but the horse men"
"Is Is WELL" replied Richard, adding,
Shelton, ye may go"
"Stay!" said Lord Foxhsm. "This
young man likewise had a charge from
me. Il may De be hath better sped. Ssv,
Master Shelton, have ye found the maid?'
~ praise the saints, my lord" said
Dick, "she is in this house "
ISIS II even &C, Well, then, Ny lord
the duke" resumed Lord Foxlam, "Bith
your good will, Tomorrow, before the
army march, 1 do propose marriage.
This young squire -"
"Young knight" interrupted Catesby
"S.y ye SO, Sir William?" cried Lgrd
Fox4am.
~ did myself, and for coed service,
hub MIN Knight" said Gloucester. "Ha

Lord FcI1sm. 'Tis a fellow that Will

"Nsy, he is brave lad know it,"
sid Lord FcxhEn. "CoDtent We, then,

Wnereupor Dick judged it prudent to
but he was not yet clear OF
ne rtfsc.ory, when q man, but newly
lighted st the gate came running four
tsirs al Bound, and brushing through
le abbey servants, threw himself on ole
nee before the duke.
"Vlctory, nv lord" he cried.
