CHAPTER II.

The bearer of the good tidings pre-
sented himself to Lambeth, where the
archbishop lay, more than an hour be-
fore midday. He had ridden post
over night from Dover to Gravesend,
and thence sailed up the river with a
favorable tide; his luck and speed had
been such that, travelling day and
night, he had reached London on the
second morning from his start.
They kept early hours in those times;
the archbishop, after close mornings
work, had already dined and was pre-
pairing to proceed to the chancery at
Westminster. 1t was his custom to sit
there at eleven.
The messenger was not held long in
waiting for an audience. AS soon as
the archbishop-chancellor was informed
of his arrival from Paris, he dismissed
his secretaries, ordered him to be
shown up, and received him most
graciously.
"Good-morrow, good fellow" he
said, in stately fashion, raising him
with the hand which the messenger
had knelt to kiss; "what news from
Paris? You have made good speed
from there, l doubt not?"
The messenger answered the second
question first, and then hesitated,
glancing meaningly at the usher who
had shown him into the chancellor's g
presence and who remained by the door.
"You may speak," said the chancel-
lor. master Hardelot, my young
cousin, is of my council"
Thus authorized, he delivered his
message. 81 am charged, sir" he
said, "to deliver to you this ring, and
to say that that has happened which
you wot Of"
The chancelor's face did not betray
the Joy he felt at hearing what he had
waited for so long. He asked no fur
ther questions. "You have done the
king an excellent SERVICE" he said in a
voice of well-pleased greatness. "It
will be my care to see that you are
fitly recompensed. You must be
fatigued. Reginald, cause the cooks to
provide at once some meat for this gen.
tleman, and see that a well-lighted
chamber is made ready for him. Come
to me when you have rested and we
VIII talk further Of what you have
heard and seen in Paris"
Inc messenger protested with all
humility and respect and thanks for
his graces comfortable words about
present rel,eshment and prospective
reward, that he was ready at once to
anwser to the bet of his power; but
the chancellor, wAo had heard az much
as he wanted, inshted on his taking
needful repose after LIS long and irving
journey.

a tax OF SO much Lead on every per-
son in the kingdom over the age of
TO !rteen years. 1t Lad been COM
planned of, but it had been fairly well
paii-better than any form of subsidy
that had been tried since.
The chancellor would try another
poll-tax, and modify the obnoxious
features of the first. The first had
been uniform, fourpence head from
poor and rich alike, and the poor had
naturally complained of such equality.
He would avoid this grievance; the
rich should aid the poor; an average of
three groats should be raised, but IL e
poorest should be asked for no more
than one groat, while the richest paid
a much as sixty. Besides, the age
should be raised to fifteen.
What could be more reasonable? 1t
was the duty of everybody in such
national crisis to contribute to the
national defense.
The plan was to cost the unfortunate
chancellor his head; but no mere man
could have thought OF anything that
looked fairer or more promising.
Besides, he was to give Parliament
choice between this and one of the older
imposts. Further, he put off the evil
day of submitting his budget, al d
waited for supremely favoral lie
moment when he might summon the
Commons and launch it prosperously.
The favorable moment for which lie
waited was the death of the King of
France. Charles the Sage, to whose
crafty policy the deplorable reverses Of
recent years were attributed, had suf-
fered long from mysterious illness.
Like the illness of the Black Prince, it
was suspected TO be the effect of poison,
and one of the incidents OF it was an
issue in the arm, through which it was
believed the venom of the poison dis
charged itself. George of Prague, the
physician whose skill had partially
cured him and kept him alive, had
warned the king that when the issue
dried up, he had only fifteen days left
in which to arrange his affairs and pro-
vide for the welfare of his soul.
Sudbury had taken measures to get
the earliest possible information of the
appearance OF the fatal symptom. He
knew well, from the temper shown by
the Commons when last they were
asked for subsidy, that there was lit
tie chance of getting anything from
them unless something occurred to
brighten the prospects of the English
cause in France. 1t was the policy of
Charles that had undone them; his
death would give them new hopes, and
could hardly fail to put the Commons
in generous mood.
At last the fatal favorable moment
arrived. In the autumn of 1880, early
in September, just after the insult
offered by French feet to the Thames,
the joyful news reached him that the
fatal symptom had appeared, and that
the King of France was on his death
bed.

One Of the most curious industrial
plants In the West Is the old Holland
type of grist mill at Benson, near
Bloomington, Ill. 1t was erected up
ward of thirty years ago, and is still

power, REINFORCED by small engine,

The tall circular building is surmount-
