What, therefore, we must study are

In other words, the individual inter-

Such result might have been ex-
pected. In old times the man died in
the village where he was born. In the

his family and the circle of his friends.

CHAPTER X.
A eevy Of InsoIent Youths.

At last I was in London. Unnum.
bered the multitude of the good, and
the bad, and the lukewarm that have
pressed the brown bosom of this old
town. Perpetually recurring and re-
curing were the common griefs and
miseries of noble, commoner, and va
grant, which have caused their blood
and tears to flow. Here tragedy and
comedy have stalked side by side; a
tear to-day-a laugh tomorrow.
Clamp, clamp, clamp, have sounded
the tread of infinite feet along these
narrow byways; ambling in sandled
shoon, strutting in leather buskin,
striding in clouted brogues. since the
time the Romans encircled it with a
wall entered by its four gates, down
to our own King Chares.
We put up at the Blue Boar in Hol-
born. Gil preferred the Tabard in
Southwark as being ,ne Inn best
known to him. 1t suited me, how
ever. to be in the midst of the life
of the town. Nowhere was there to
be found more noise, hustle, excite
ment, even wickedness, than in the
vicinity of this old inn. 1t had this
advantage, also, that the fashionable
ness of Westminster was not far off;
and the Strand-the main artery of
London-over which a flood of life
continually flowed, was equally near.
Temple Bar separated the Strand
from the Fleet, division of the city,
and Westminster; Temple Bar, with
its grim and ghastly exterior, where
there was always some awful token
of the fitful changes of the times
here the noble barb, gilded coach, or
sedan chair of the rich, rubbed the
fustian coat of the apprentice and
rags of the beggar.
The first few days we stayed quiet
ly at the inn. Our rooms became like
pandemonium, with the various
tradespeople showing their wares.
One and another had no;sed it about
that l was a man of means; they
were like a swarm of bees after the
honey. Chairs, beds, tables, every
thing the room contained, was lit
tered with finery. and made selec-
tions for an outfit. which should be
befitting my position, yet not too
gaudy.
l ordered many suits of uncut vel
vet and satin. Waistcoats also Of
hues as many as Joseph coat.
Gil. during these proceedings in
which l was as fastidious as fop.
strutted back and forth, pooling at
my vanity. yet secretly amused at it
all. He never varied his dress OF
green worsted with its belted doublet,
such an one as Robin Hood no doubt
wore when he passed beneath the
trees in Sherwood forest. His only
ornament was his sword, as indis-
pensable to him as any member of
his body; as an esquire he had the
right to bear one.
now began my career as a man of
fashion about the town, entering into
all its dissipation except the passion
of love; there | was held in leash by
a pair of blue eyes.
Never petticoat fiuttered past me
but thought l saw some resemblance
to my mistress, and my heart would
leap into my mouth so as to well-nigh
choke me. Sometimes it was in the
curve of cheek; the way the curls
.ell about a dimpled neck; the flicker
of tapering fingers in the lifting of a
voluminous skirt; the slenderness OF
an ankle set in a well-made bott; and
SO led myself wild goose chases aft
er this one and that one-all de-
lusions, which came to naught.

she did not hesitate. She undid the
fastenings OF her mask, and turned

the grandeur of this world-worn

You may be sure I let none of my
surprise show itself upon my counte.
nance, as she glanced up at me. The
lady leaned back with an innocent
look and a plaintive sigh escaped her.
