CHATTER ILL

- the last day of November.
q about . o'clock in the after.
W. noon, a great procession might
have been seen vending its
way from the old hall at Steeple. In
it rode many knights fully armed, be-
fore whom were borne their banners.
These went first. Then came old Sir
Andrew Darcy, also fully armed, at
tended by squires and retainers. He
was accompanied by his lovely daugh-
ter, the Lady Rosamund, Next ap-
peared the brethren. mOdestly arrayed
rs simple gentlemen, followed each of
them by his squire. After them rode
yet more knights, squires, tenants OF
various degree and servants.
Following the road through the vii
lage, the procession turned to the left
at the great arch which marked the
boundary Of the monks lands and
beaded for stangate abbey, some two
miles away. At length they came to
the stone gate Of the abbey that gave
the place Its name of Stangate. Here
they were met by a company of the
Cluniac monks, who dwelt in this wild
and lonely spot upon The waters edge,
headed by their prior, John Fitz Brien.
He was a venerable, white haired man,

"Cut them down and to the boat.
We shall take her before she reaches

For o moment they wavered, for the
tall twin warriors who barred the way
bad eyes that told OF wounds and
death. Then with a rush they came,
scramtliag over the rough stones, but
here the causeway was 40 narrow that
while their strength lasted two men
were as good as twenty, nor, because Of
the mud and water, could they be got
ut from either side. SO after all it was
but two to two, and the brethren We're
the better two. Their long swords
flashed and smote, and when Wulf's
was lifted again 1t shone red, and n
man fell with o heavy splash into the
waters Of the creek and wallowed
there till he died Godwin's foe was
down also and, as 1t seemed, sped.
Then at a muttered word, not waiting
to be attacked by others, the brethren
sprang forward. The huddled mob in

shrank back, but before they had gone
a yard the swords were at work be-
hind. They swore strange oaths; they
caught their feet among the rocks and
rolled upon their faces. In their o N

the water. where two sank in the mud
and were drowned, the third only drag
ging himself ashore, while the rest
made good their escape from the cause
way. But two had been cut down and
three had fallen, for whom there was
no escape. They strove to rise and
fight, but the linen masks tapped about

Catcher Warner says tall catch.

catcher keeps the pitcher in fear

necessary to block the runner.
"The necessity of grit Is often
shown when catcher stops a wild
pitch with his bare hand. Some
times he will find 1t necessary to
stop the ball at any hazard, and the
catcher who shirks through fear of
