Conservative SUD- porters of Brown were confident that tEeir team would score, while less careful prophets, citing last Saturdays showing against Pennsylvania, predict. ed victory for the Rhode Island men.

sheep had died and the calves also so there was little
to kill when Martinmas came and it was time to
salt the meat for the winter. They feared famine
but it was worse than famine which was in store
for them.
For the rain had ceased at last, and a sickly
autumn sun shone upon land which was soaked
and sodden with water Wet and rotten leaves
rocked and festered under the foul haze which
from the woods The fields were spotted with
rnonstrous fungi of a size and color never matched
before-scarlet and mauve and liver and black.
1t was as though the sick earth had burst into foul
oustules; 1n1dew and ichen notified the walls,
and with that filthy crop Death sPrang also from
the water-soaled earth. Men died, and women
and children, the baron of the castle, the franklin
on the farm the monk in the abbey and the vilein
in his wattle-and-daub cottage. All breathed the
same polluted reell and all died the same death
of corruption. Of those who stricken none
recovered and the illness was ever the sane-gross
bos, raving, and the black blotches which gave
its name to the disease. All through the winter the
dead rotted by the wayside for want OF some one
to bury them. In many a village no single man
was left alive Then at last the spring came with
sunshine and health and 1ightness and laughter
the greenest sweetest tenderest spring that England
had ever known-but only half of England could
know it. The other half had passed away with
the great purple cloud.
Yet it was there in that stream of death, in that
reek Of corruption, that the brighter and freer
England was born. There in that dark hour the
first streak of the new dawn was seen. For in no
way save by a great upheaval and change could the
nation break away from that iron feudal system
New-York tribune., 1905-12-03

which held her limbs. But it a new
country which came out from that year OF death.
The barons were dead in swathes. No high turret
nor cunning rnoat could keep out that black COM
roner who struck them down. Oppressive laws
slackened for want of those who could enforce them
and once s1ackened could never be enforced again
The 1aborer would be a slave no longer. The bonds
man snapped his shacB,les. There much to do
and few left to do it. Therefore the few should be
free men, name their own price, and work where
and for whom they would. 1t was the black death
which cleared the way for that great rising thirty
years later which left the English peasant the
freest of his class IN Europe.
But there were few so far-sighted that they could
see that here as ever good was coming out OF evil
At the moment misery and ruin were brought into
every family. The dead cattle, the ungarnered
crops, the untitled 1ands-every spring of wealth
had dried up at the same moment. Those who
were rich became poor; but those who poor
already, and especially those who were poor with
the burden of gentlity upon their shoulders found
themselves in a perous state. All through Eng
land the smaller gentry were ruined for they had
no trade save war, and they drew their living from
the work of others On many a manor-house there
came evil times and on none more than the
Manor of Tilford, where for many generations
the noble family Of the Lorings had held their
home.
There was a time when the LOrings had held the
country from the North Downs to the Lakes of
Frensham, and when their grim cast1e-keep rising

\ n the month of July OF the year I34S, between
the feasts Of St. Benedict and Of St. Swithin,
a strange thing came upon England, for out of
the east there drfted monstrous cloud, purple and
piled heavy with evil climbing slowly up the hushed
heaven. In the shadow of that strange cloud
the leaves drooped in the trees, the birds ceased
their calling and the cattle and the sheep gathered
covering under the hedges. a gloom fell upon all
the land, and men stood with their eyes upon the
strange cloud and a heaviness upon their hearts.
They crept into the churches where the trembling
people were blessed and shriven by the trembling
priests. Outside no bird flew, and there came no
r1stling from the woods, nor any of the homely
sounds of Nature. All was still, and nothing
moved, save only the great cloud which rolled up
and onward with fold on fold from the black
horizon. To the west was the light summer sky,
to the east this b7ooding cloud-ban creeping ever
slowly across until the last thin blue CLEAN faded
away and the whole vast sweep of the heavens was
one great leaden arch.
Then the rain began to fall. All day 1t rained,
and all the night and all the week and all the month,
until folk had forgotten the blue heavens and the
CLEAN Of the sunshine. 1t was not heavy, but it
was steady and cold and unceasng. that the PeO-
pie were weary of its kissing and its splashing with
the slow drip from the caves. Always the same
thick evil cloud flowed from east to west with the
RAIN beneath 1t. None could see for more than
bow-shot from their dwellings for the drifting veil
Of the rain-storrns. Every morning the folk looked
upward for a k-eal. but their eyes rested always
upon the same endless cloud, until at last they
New-York tribune., 1905-12-03

ceased to look up, and their
hearts desPaired of ever see
ing the change. 1t was rain
ing at Lammas-tide and rain
ing at the Feast of the
Assumption and still raining
at NIichaelmas. The crops
and the hay, sodden and
black, had rotted in the
fields, for they were not
worth the garnering. The
