company and armed. moreover, as few that
rode abroad in those days., they came now
to that stretch of heathand which borders
upon tn northward heights of the
city. And it was here, while still
speaking of their intention, that they
overlook others upon the road, and so en-
countered as sorrowful a spectacle as any
which the journey had given them. For
hereby an old man, seated upon a gray
horse, was being carried by the sheriff S
men to judgment; and asking of what cir
cumstance he was, the men answered that
1t was Master Latimer the Bishop of Wor-
cester, being taken to his trial upon
charge of heresy.
Now. those in the north had heard but
little at that time of any being accused for
the faiths sake, nor was it known to them
that parliament had made new the forgot
ten statutes of heresy which were of Hen
ry S reign. The new queen, men said would
practice her own faith. and leave all men
to theirs; in which belief Roy of Calverton,
caring as little for pope as for devil set out
with confidence to mock the fears of those
who warned him. But now, while he rode
at the good bishops side. he remembered
the friendly words, and began to ask the
old man, very curiousy, as to that which
was charged against him. Upon which
Master Latimer, protesting that he knew
not, If so be that the faith of Christ were
not felony, went on to wonder that
man should ride into London when he might
ride out of it.

too. despite his dignity.

He had been promised audience, but
full hour passed before any word was sent
to him, or the chancellor so much as re-
membered his request Once, indeed, he
heard great stir in the court yard of the
palace; and looking from the window, he
perceived a company of gentlemen upon
horseback, and in the midst of them the
queen herself, dressed very somberly in
black, and wearing that grave countenance
of which report had spoken with no kind
ness. But the cavalcade passed out with
little observation and no welcome Of the
people at the gate: and thereafter another
hour passed before Roy was summoned.
When at last a groom called him he
swered with word Of raillery which
cloaked his impatience:
Let not my lord 50 much as miss pater-
noster when the safety of this kingdom
hangs upon that which l shall say to him.
Nay, sirs, had rather wait some days yet
If my lords devotions be hindered by my
coming!'
They heard with establishment, for few
We're bold enough to mock the chancellor
publicly, but Roy Of Calverton was ever
bold in jest; and knowing not what to say
TO him, they led him to the audience, and
promised him a gibbet for his recompense.
My Lord of Winchester, but recently
made lord high chancellor Of England has
been shrewdiy judged by many that came
after him; but those of his own time had
yet to hear his name with other feelings
than those Of some admiration for jealous
servant of the faith, and for one who had
paid for his fidelity by long years of dour
Imprisonment during Edwards reign. AS
Roy of Calverton found him upon that
morning of January, in little library ad-
joining the queens apartment, he was
man of thoughtful mien, we'll filling the ca
pacious chair in which he sat; one, more
over. who had no little subtlety of grace
and conversation for those he favored.
Schooled since his youth to be Judge Of
men, he sat for some while casting close
glance at the suppliant who now claimed
right of audience; and when he had salts
fled himself that 1t was an honest face, he
put down the pen with which he had been
toying and leaned back in his chair, that
he might listen patiently.
You come upon matter Of urgency"
ne said, slowly, land you are Roy, the out
law Of Calverton. A strange purpose, sir
that brings the wolf to the cloister gate'
Roy seated himself at the table, SO close
to the chancellor that he could have put a
hand upon him, and answered with much
readiness:

riddle Alright"
Now, Gardiner, the chancellor, was ac-
with sycophants and dissemblers, and
those that spoke the honeyed word, or
sought, in the garb of candor, to cloak their
disloyalties. But such man as Roy of Cal
verton he had never met before.
Hath the wolf. then, lost his teeth, that
the brethren shall fondle him?'' he asked, a
smile upon his puckered face. Nay, If !

help me, Master Roy. And first Of the
queens business, I were no true servant OF
her majesty to be deaf to that. Speak and

Roy drew his chair closer to my lords ia
bic, and, taking in his hand sheet of pa
per that lay thereon he, to the chancellor s
great surprise, set 1t down as though wait
ing for the other to write.
MY lord he said. you bid me be frank
with you, and I make haste to comply.

tate and for myself a pardon, and / will

1t was bold offer of compact and in
that sense my lord was quick to be suspi-
cious of it.

ton dictates, then, to his unwilling sub

hours in the saddle that her majesty may
have his tidings."
Now. many messengers had ridden in
from the northern counties during the first
year Of Mary's reign, and rare was the day
when some news of the doubtful country
did not come to the chancellor's ears to
play upon his apprehensions or to awake
his fears; but of late report had lulled him
to some security, and he had begun to think
of an affair more pressing than that of the
shiremen and their complaints For which
reason one messenger the more gave him
but little concern, and being unaware of
any business which rightly might be named
urgent" he sent a page to the door to bid
the Northman wait until such time as GU
rioSity might conveniently be grateful.
So, behold Roy Of Calverton in an ante
room OF the palace, looking patiently for
that good hour when he must seek his par
don and declare the price of it. Many
years had passed since last he set foot in
London city. The glamour of pageantry
and all the splendor Of dress about him
seemed as a picture of a past which he
thought to have forgotten. In the old days,
presented him at the French kings court,
he had known, perchance. a scene more
splendid, life as full of joyance and dis
play as any which London could show him;
but long years in Sherwood Forest, the
dominion of wood and thicket the silence
of the groves had blotted the picture out
so that now, when 1t came again. 1t was as
thing unreal, puppet show into whose
man, the friend of liberty, blunt of speech,
self-appointed guardian of the forests JUS
tice. he beheld this group of priests and
esqures. of jesting women and self seeking
men. with that contempt of estate and au-
thority which the forest fastness had SO
truly taught him.. And he, in turn, was
observed by them as closely; pointed out
as rare figure for their gossip; remem-
bered as Roy, the outlaw: esteemed not a
little for the courage which carried him to
that place. A king of men in stature. his
long hair falling upon a cloak of Lincoln
green, his velvet cap tossed negligently to
the seat behind him, his high boots of
leather-a jest upon fashion-his spurs of
gold for these were my ladys gifts to
him), assuredly such a man had not es-
capped remark wherever circumstances had
placed him. And ofshis story not little
was known even at the palace Of st. James
He had ruled Sherwood as an outlaw, yet
had ruled it with royal justice. men said.
Never had the poor and needy sought him
in vain; no abbey gate there was which
did not open at his knock; no priest who
did not welcome him with blessings. And
now he had come to London to crave that
he might win pardon in those days Of am
nesty. Men wondered at such temerity;
the women, in their hearts, wished him

may not answer the riddle for me-
He spoke with unwonted earnestness,
putting on for the nonce that air of Sc
curity and command so habtual to him.
And my lord, who was quick to judge men,
said in his heart, This fellow comes with
great tidings.' Nevertheless, the manner
OF 1t was so strange, the threads were so
many, that he must cloak his impatience

 A congested or catarrhal mucous mem- brane, 8 mucous membrane dotted with little ulcers or spotted with canker sores, will not protect the body.
