leave London without them. 1t ia
necessary that we zee the king alone. ="
Tyler said nothing, but by look adj
monished the impetuous speaker OF his
indiscretion in thus revealing their
plans. Kirby also cast reproving
glance. The man of quiet intrigue and
organization was often annoyed by the
man of burning words.
Ralph did not see this by-play, but,
as Ball seemed to address him, made
answer by way of excusing the king.
that he could not grant charters with
out the assent of his council.
"We will be his council!' cried the
fiery orator. "We will quicken their
deliberations"
Then Kirby had a question to ask in
his ordinary smooth voice. Did the
king show the same willingness to
remedy abuses when Ralph first con-
ferred with him six weeks before?
Ralph assured him that it was so, an
answer at which the little mans keen
eyes twinkled, while he suggested to
the captain that Master Hardelot
might now be dismissed with thanks
to the king for his gracious message,
and an answering assurance that they
would ever be loyal to him and his
heirs, that he need fear no hurt from
them, and that in all they did they
had regard to the honor of himself and
the realm.
Ralph left the presence of the in
surgent leaders with a heavy heart,
which all his new-found jov and hope
could hardly lift above the oppression
of painful foreboding On two points
it was clear that they had made up
their minds inhexibly: they must see
the king in person, and they must have
charters of emancipation under his seal.
Further, they were not in a mood to
wait; they must have satisfaction at
once. How, indeed, could they wait
with huge, unprovisioned mob behind
them assembled to carry their demands
with rush?
When we compare the enterprise of
the insurgents with the customs of the
time, it looks much less revolutionary
than it does in the light of modern
usage, and also much less wild and un-
practical. 1t was no uncommon thing
in those days--a custom surviving
from Anglo-Saxcn times-for the peo-
pie to break in upon and overawe the
judicial and legislative deliberation. 1t
was thus not 80 wild a scheme as it
now looks for the peasantry of England
to rise and try to coerce their rulers in
to the concession OF freedom by single
act of the sovereign power. The nov
city and also the danger lay in the
breadth of the combination, and the
enormous numbers and mixed character
of the assembled multitudes.

BETTER STICK TO OYSTERS

Capt. +. b. Blackman, OF Wheaton,

The popular captain had another fad,
aud that was for tomatoes, which he
knew lots about. He planted some choice
seed one day in corner patch, but the
freaky things took a notion To come up
in another corner away off. The cap.
tain is convinced that a cyclone struck
his seed one night, and as cyclones usu.
ally do, changed their location. Not.
