CHAPTER v.-fcontInued.l }

The man and the time and the
place had met and there was no doubt
ing it. His words burned this assur-
ance into the hearts of all who heard
him, and when he struck his sword
hilt to emphasize them, they answered
with the same movement, unconscious
and simultaneous.
In some remarkable way this tre-
mendous national crisis had become
known in every corner OF the land.
And the very yagueness and mystery
of the conviction intensified its i'm
portance, for generally the informa.
tion came as the wind blows, no one
knew whence.
AT Swaffham and de Wick this fate
ful feeling was aggravated by keen
personal interests. To Mrs. Swaffham
and Jane the coming battle might
mean widowhood and orphanage. To
de Wick 1t might mean the extinction
OF the family, root and branch, the
loss to the lonely earl and his daugh-
ter OF the one love on which their
future could build any hope.
On the third afternoon, there came
rurnors of great Parliamentary vic

seizlng her by the arm, she compelled
Jane to ascend at Dor side. Jane
made no resistance to such impetu-
ous, imperative passion. and she was
hurried up the steps and along the
corridor until Matilda suddenly
stopped and threw open the door OF
darkened room.
GO in, Mistress Swaffham," she
cried, "and look your last on one Of
Cromwells victims" And Jane shook
herself free, and stood moment re-
garding the placid face OF the dead
priest.
"oh, God be mercifull" said Jane,
and Matilda answered, Yes, for men
know nothing of mercy. Come. there
is more yet" sA Nt@N
Then she opened the door next to
the death chamber. and Jane saw ly-
ing on a great canopied bed the dying
earl. His last breaths we're coming in
painful sobs, but he opened his eyes
and looked mournfully at Jane for a
few moments. Then the physician
sitting BY his side motioned authori-
tatively to the two girls to leave the
room.
HE Is dying. You see that. He
may live till morning-no longer

she made all possible haste. and as

TO tempt a saint, but "Christy"
Mathewson, far-famed as the best
baseball pitcher in the business. re-

LANCER recently. The theatrical firm
had a play written especially to al
low Mr.. Mathewson an opportunity
to display his athletic ability, but the

the twirler's consent to appear on the
stage.
A similar offer was made to Man

the profession" preferring to win
his laurels on the baseball diamond.
Soon after the baseball season closed
there were newspaper rumors that
Mathewson and McGraw had inten-
lions of going On the stage. Klaw &
Erlanger personally devoted their eff
forts toward securing these famous
ball players to take part in a special
production, but after careful consid-

In the proposed play, M~athewson
was to do a fifteen minute turn,
showing how he warns up in prac-
tice for a league game. He was also
scheduled for another small part.
"Matty," in declining, said that he
preferred to devote the winter to
