ers began once more to advance against the
barricade, and the arrows to fall thick, But
there was something hesitating in the attack.
They came not on roundly, byt seemed rather
to await further signal.
Dick looked uneasily about him, spying for
a hidden danger. And sure enough, about half
way up the little street, door was suddenly
opened from within, and the house continued
for some seconds, and both by door and win
dow, to disgOrge a torrent of Lancastrian arch
ers. These, as they leaped down, hurriedly
stood TO their ranks, bent their bows, and pro-
ceeded to pour upon Dicks rear flight Of ar
rows
At the same time, the assailants in the mar
ket-place redoubled their shot, ami began to
close in stoutly upon the barricade.
Dick called down his whole command out Of
the houses, and facing them both ways, and
encouraging their yalour both by word and
gesture, returned as best he could the double
shower Of shafts that fell about his post
Meanwhile, house after house was opened in
the street, and the Lancastrians continued to
pour out Of the doors and leap down from the
windows. shouting victory, until the number
Of enemies upon Dicks rear was almost equal
to the number in his face. 1t was plain that
he could hold the post no longer; what WIS
worse, even If lac could have held II, ii had
now become useless: and the whole Yorkist
army lay in a posture Of helplessness upon the
brink Of a complete disaster.
The men behind him formed the vital flaw In
the general defense audit was upon these that
Dick turned, charging at tho head Of his men.
So vigorous was the attack that the Lancas-
trian archcrs gave ground and staggered, and,
AZ last, breaking their ranks, began 10. crowd
back into tie houses from which they lad 30
recently and 20 vaingloriously sailed.
Meanwhile tie men from the marltct- place
had swarued across the Bdoicndcd barricade,
and fell ON hotly uron the other side and Dick
must once again face about, aud proceed 70
drive them back. Once again tbc spirit n his
men prevailed; they cleared the street iu a
triumphant style, but even as they did go the
others Issued again out Of the houses, and took
them, third tiiae, upon the rear.
Tho Yorkists began To be scattered; several
times Dick found himself alone among
his foes and plying his bright sword for his
lifej several times he was conscious Of a hurt,
And meanwhile the fight swayed 10 and fro
in the Streets without determinate ersult.

I much as n slflff remained In harbor; but the
sea was dotted with sails and rowboats laden
with fugitlvos. On shore, too, the surface Of
the snowy meadows was broken up with bands
Of horsemcn, some cutting their way towards
the borders Of the forest, others, who were
doubtless Of the Yorkist side, stouty interpos-
ing and beating them back upon the town.
Over all the open ground there lay prodgious
quantity Of fallen mon and horses, clearly de-
fined upon the snow,
To complete the picture, those OF the foot
soldiers as had not found place upon ship
still kept up an archery combat on the borders
of the port, and from the cover of the shore
side tayerns. In that quarter, also, one or two
houses had been fired, and the smoke lowered
high in the frosty sunlight, and blew off TO sea
in voluminOus folds.
Already close upon the margin Of the woods
and somewhat in the line Of Hollywood, one par
tcular cump Of fleeing borsemen riyeted the at
tention OF the young watcher on the tower 1t
was fairly numerous; in no other quarter Of
the field did 80 many Lancastrians still hold
together; thus they had left wide, discolored
wake upon the snow, and Dick was able to
trace them step by step from where they had
left town.
While Dick stood watching them, they had
gained, unopposed, the first fringe OF the
leafless forest, and, turning In a little from
their direction, the sun fell for moment full
on their array, as it was relieved against the
dusky wood.
"Murey and blucl" cried Dick II swear
it-murrey and bluel"
The next moment he was descending the
stairway.
1t was now his business % sock out the duke
Of Gloucester who alone in the disorder Of
the forces, might be able 10 supply him with a

town was now practically al an end aud as
Dick ran hitler and thither, seeking the COM
mander, the streets were thick with wandering
soldiers, some laden with more booty than
they could well staRger under, others Shouting
drunk. None Of them when questioned had
the least notion of the dukes whereabouts;

Dick found him, where 10 sat in the saddlr

dery; and oven if he had the will, it might be
questioned if lie had the power.
1t was, therefore, Dicks business TO find and
to protect Joanna, and with that end he looked
about him at the faces of his men. The three
or foar who seemed liltelest to lie obedient and
keep sober he drew aside, and promising them
rich reward and a special recommendation to
the duke, led them across the market-place,
now empty OF horscmen, and into the streets
upon the further side
Every here and there small combats OF from
two to dozen still ragged upon the open street /;

defenders throwing out stoOsand tables on the

with arms and corpses; but except for these
partial cOinbats the streets we're deserted, and
the houses, some standing OPEN and some shut
tered and barricaded, had for tho most part
ceased TO give out smoke.
Dick, threading tho skirts of these skirmish-
ers, led his followers brskly in the direction Of
the abbey church; but when he came the
length Of the main street, a cry Of horror broke
from his lips. Sir Daniels honso had been
carried by assault. The gates hung in splin-
ters from the hinges and a double throng kept
pouring in and out through the entrance, seek
ing and carrying booty. Meanwhile, in the
upper storeys, some resistance was still being
offered to the piiia2ers; for just as Dick came
within eye-shOt Of the building, . easement was
burst open from within. and n poor wretch in
murrey and blue, screaming and resisting, was
forced through the enbrasure and tossed into
the street below.

CHAPTER III.

THE BATTLE OF sHoREDY (concluded)
DICK, once more left to his own counsels,
began to look about him. The arrow-shot had
somewhat slackened. On all sides the enemy
were falling back; and the greater part of the
market-place was now empty, the snow hero
trampled into orange mud there splashed with
gore, scattered all over with dead men and
horses, brisi]ing thick with feathered arrows.
On his own side the loss had been cruel. The
jaws Of the little street and the ruins Of tire
barricade were heaped with the dead and dy-
ing; and out of the hundred men with whom
he had begun tho battle, there were not
seventy left who could still stand to arms.
At the same time, the day was passing. The
hrst reinforcement might be looked for to ar
rive at any moments and the Lancastrians,
already shaken up by the result of their des-
perate but unsuccessful onslaught, were i'll an
Ill temper to support fresh invader.
There was q dial in the wall of one of the
Two thanking houses; and this In the frosty
winter sunshine, indicated ten of the forenoon.
DICK turned to the man who was at his ell
pow, little Insignificant archer, binding cut
in his arm.
ut was well fought" he said, "and, by my
sooth, they wis not charge us twice"
""Slr" said the little archer, eye have
fought right well for York, aud better for
Yourself. Never hath man in so brief space
prevailed SO greatly on the dukes affections.
That lie should have entrusted such post to
one he know not is q marvel or miracle. But
look to your head, Sir Richard If We lie van
qt'shed--ag, II We give way one fcot'S breadth
AK or cord shall punish it; and if We do
aught doubtful. will tell you honestly / am
set here to stab you from behind"
Dick looked at the little man in amaze.
~ QUIZ he cried. ''And from behind"
ut is right so, returned the archer; ''and
because like not the affair I tell it to you
We must make the post good. Sir Richard, st
yourperil. Oh, our Crookback is a bold blade
and good warrior but, whether in cold
blood or in hot, he will have all these things
done exact to his commandment If any fail
or hinder, they shall die the death.'
Now, by the saints!" cried Richard, sis
this so? And will men follow such q leader ?"
NAY, they follow him gleefuliy," replied
the other; for II he be exact to punish, he is
most open-handed to reward. And if he spare
not the blood and sweat of others, he is ever
liberal of his own-still in the first front of
battle, still the last to sleep. He will go far,
will Crookback Dick o. Gloucester!"
The young knight, if he had before been
brave and vigilant was now all tho more i'm
clined to watchfulness and courage. His sud-
den favor, he began to perceive, had brought
perils in its train. And he turned from the
archer, and once more scanned anxiously the
market place. 1t lay empty as before.
Il likenok this quietude'' he said doubt

And, Ss If in answer to his remark, the arch

Suddenly Dick was aware of a great trumpet
ing about the outl1irts OF the town. The war-cry
OF York began to be rolled up to heaven, as by
many and triumphant voices. And at the
same time the men in front of him began TO give
ground rapidly, streaming out of the streets
and back upon the market-pace. Some one
gave the word to fly. Trumpets were blown
distractedly, some for rally some TO charge.
III was plain that great blow had been struck,
and the Lancastrians were thrown, at least for
te moment, into full disorder, and some de-
gree of panic.
And then, like theater trick, there followed
the last act of Shoreby battle. The men in
front Of Richard turned tail, like a dog that
has been wlistled home, and fled like the
wnd. AT the Same moment there came
through the market-place storm of horse
men, fleeing and pursuing, the Lancastrians
turning back to strike with the sword, the
Yorkists riding them down at the point of the
lance.
Conspicuous in the mellay, Dick beheld the
Crookback. lie was already giving fore
taste OF that furious valor ard skill to cut his
way across the ranks OF war which, years af-
terward upon the field of Bosworth, and when
he was stained with crimes, almost suiflced to
change the fortunes Of the day and the destiny
OF the English throne. Evadng, striking
riding down, he so forced and so Unanswered

so literally scattered death to his opponents
that he was now far ahead of the foremost Of

Dick was launching his big horse and plying
the truncheon of his sword.
Thus, BY Sheltons courage in holding the
mouth of the street against the first attack,
and by the opportune arrival of his seven
hundred reinforcements, the lad, who was
afterwards to be handed down to the execra-
ton of pcSterity under the name of Richard
III, had won his first considerable fight.

"Hark ye," returned Richard, 1.-TWO can

But the man, flushed with drink and battle,
struck Dick upon the shoulder with one hand,
while with the other he twitched away his gar
ment. Thereupon the full wrath of the young
leader burst from his control. He seized the
fellow III his strong embrace, and crushed him
on the plates of his mailed bosom like child ::
then, holding him at arms length, he bid him
speak as he valued life.

"Know ye Sir Daniel?" pursued Dick.
''Well do ] know him." returned the man.
"Was he i1i the mansion ?"

"but even as we entered by the yard gate he
rode forth by the garden"
"Alone?' cried Dick.
"He may "a had score of lances with him."
said the man.
''Lances! No women, then?" asked Shell

'Troth, saw not" said the archer" "But
there were none in the house, if that be your
quest"
II thank YOU" said Dick ''IIere is n gold
noble for your pa,rs." But cropping in his
wallet Dick found nothing. "indtire for me
Tomorrow" he added -"Richard Shelf Sir
Richard Shelton" he corrected "and l will
see you handsomely rewarded"
And then an idea struck Dick. He hastily
descended to the courtyard, ran with all his
might across the garden, and calne TO the
great east door of the church. 1t stood wide
open; within, every corner of the pavement
was crowded with fugitive burghefs, surround
ed by their families and laden with the most
precious of their possessions, while, at the
high altar priests IN full cauonicals were i'm
plorng the mercy of God. Even as Dick en-
tered the loud chorus began TO thunder in
the yaulted roofs.
He hurried tbrolph tho o~rOupa If rnfuuaes

And thrustng on one side the priest, who
seemed supplied at the news, Dick pushed
open the door and ratified up the stairs four at
bound, and without pause or stumble, till he
stepped upon the open platform at the top.

the town, as in n map, but looked far, ON both
sides, over sea and land. 1t was now near

When the national republican con-
vention was taking the last ballot for
president, lightning operators sat at
their instruments in an anteroom of
the convention ball, with their fingers
on the key, ready to flash the nomin-
alton over the whole country and the
world. A man and his assistants in
front of the speakers desk kept tab
on the vote, and the instant enough
votes were recorded for Senator Har-
rison to give him the nomination, the
signal was given, and away it went to
the outside world before the convent
on could realize what it had done.
The nomination was read from the
Speakers desk IN the house in WASH
ington before the Indiana delegation
began to shout in the convention, and
in thirty seconds after he had enough
votes, his nomination was read in San
Francisco. 1t was cabled to London
and read in the metropolis of the
world two minutes later, and before
the vote was announced in the con
vention. Over 100000 words per

Vermillion Iron journal.
The Journal has hoisted an Ameri-
can flag to the breeze, bearing the
portraits of Harrison and Morton, and
the words, "Protection to American
Labor" This is its doctrine, its po-
litical creed and its platform in few
words. 1t is an American flag, tho
roughly so, when it holds itself as the
guardion of home labor and home in
terests. 1t becomes an un-American
flag when it seeks to build up Europ-
can industries that have been dragged
to the grave yard of poverty of Brit
ish free trade policies and by senseless
vaporings of free trade theorists. II
is our belief that American labor
needs cur attention first, and every
lover of the country should see that
his vote is cast that way when Noy-
embcr comes. Protection to Ameri-
can labor we intend to stand by, and
if the battle is lost at the polls, the
Journal will obey The will of the ma,
