pOmmel, and a deep voice from without
summoned them to open in the King s
name The old dame and Nigel had
/ both sprung to their feet, their table
overturned and their chessmen scattered
among the PUSHES NigeIs hand had
sought his crossbow, but the Lady
Ermvntrude grasped his arm.
NAY, fair son! Have you not heard
that it is in the Kings manner" said she.
Down, Talbot! Down, Bayard! Open
the door and let his messenger in"
Nigel undid the bolt, and the heavy
wooden door swung outward upon its
hinges. The light from the faring
cressets beat upon steel caps and fierce
bearded faces, with the glimmer of
drawn swords and the yellow CLEAN of
bow-staves. A dozen armed archers
forced their way into the room. At
their head were the gaunt sacrist of
Waverlev and a stout elderly man clad
in a red-velvet doub1et and breeches
much stained and notified with mud
and clay He bore a great sheet of
parchment with a fringe of dangling
seals, which he held a1oft as he entered.
q call on Nigel Loring!" he cried. Il,
the officer of the Kings law and the lay
summoner of Waverley, call upon the
man named Nigel Loring!"
4 am he
''Yes, it is hel" cried the sacrist.
"Archers, do as you were Ordered!
In an instant the band threw them
selves upon him like the hounds on a
stag. Desperately Nigel strove to gain
his sword which lay upon the iron Golfer.
With the convulsive strength which
comes from the spirit rather than from
the body, he bore them all in that
direction, but the sacrist snatched the
weapon from its place, and the rest
dragged the writhing Squire to the
ground and swathed him in a cord.
Hold him fast, good archers! Keep
a stout grip on himl cried the summOner.
4 pray you, one of YOU, prick off these
great dogs which snar1 at my heels
Stand off, I say, in the name of the
King Watkin, come betwiNt me and
these creatures who have as little regard
for the law as their master.
One of the archers kicked off the
faithful dogs But there were others Of
the household who were equally ready to
show their teeth in defense of the old
house of Loring From the door which
led to their quarters there emerged the
pitiful muster of Nigels threadbare
retainers. There was a time when ten
knights, forty men-at-arns and two
hundred archers would march behind the
scarlet roses Now at this last rally
when the young head of the house lay
bound in his own hall, there mustered at
his call the page Charles with a cudgel,
John the cook with his longest spit,
Red Swire the aged man-at arms with
formidable ak swung over his snowy
head, and Westhercote the minstrel with
boar-spear. Yet this motley array
was fired with the spirit of the house, and
under the lead of the fierce old soldier
they would certainly have flung them
selves upon the ready swords of the
archers, had the Lady Ermyntrude not
swept between them.
Stand back, Swire!" she cried
Back, Westhercote! Charles, put a
leash on Talbot, and hold Bayard back"
Her black eyes blazed upon the invaders
until they shrank from that baleful gaze.
Who are you, you rascal robbers, who
dare to misuse the Kings name and to

During Daniel Webster's visit to
England he was taken one day to see
Lord Brougham. That eminent jurist.
however, received him with such cool
ness that Mr.. Webster was glad to get
away and took his leave OF the first op-
portunity The friend saw him to his
rooms and then returned TO Lord
Brougham and I'm some anger said:
MY lord, how could you behave with
such unseemiy rudeness and dis
courtesy to so great a lawyer and
statesman? It was insulting to him
and has filled me with modification
why. what on earth have I done
and whom have / been rude tor asked

claimed Lord Brougham, realizing the
mistake he had made Il thought it

Then, st is said. the great chancellor
sought out Mr.. Webster. explained and
excused his conduct. which the latter
generously accepted.
