they passed in an unbroken stream before
the eyes of Nigel and of Aylward alike
only in the fact that one and all were
powdered from their hair to their shoes
with the gray dust of the chalk.
There were monks journeying from one
cell to another, Benedictines with their
black gowns looped up to show their
white skirts, Carthusians in white, and
pied Cistercians. Friars also of the three
wandering orders-Dominicans in black,
Carmelites in white and Franciscans in
gray There was no love lost between
the clustered monks and the free friars,
each looking on the other as rival who
took from him the oblations of the faith

only here and there did they meet or
overtake some occasional merchant or
messenger bound for Battle Abbey,
Pevensey Castle or the towns of the
south.
That night they slept in sordid inn,
overrun with rats and with fleas, one
mile south of the hamlet of May6eld.
Awkward scratched vigorously and cursed
with fervor. Nigel lay without move
ment or sound. To the man who had
learned the old rule of chivalry there
were no small ills in life. 1t was beneath
the dignity of his soul to stoop to observe
them. Cold and heat, hunger and thirst,
such things did not exist for the gentle
man The armor of his soul was so COM
plete that it was proof not only against
the great ills of life but even against the
small ones; so the fea-bitten Nigel lay
grimly still while Awkward writhed upon
his couch.
They were now but short distance
from their destinations but they had
hardly started on their journey through
the forest next morning, when an adven-
ture befe1l them which filled Nigel with
the widest hopes.

in the fields, the butt and laughing stock
of everyone, and still bearing up the
whole world upon his weary shoulders.
He had set it all out in fair parable;
SO now as he rode he repeated some of
the verses, chanting them and marking
time with his forefnger, while Nigel
and Awkward on either side of him with
their heads inclined inward listened with
the same attention, but with very diff
ferent feelings-Nigel shocked at such an
attack upon authority, and Awkward
chuckling as he heard the sentiments of
his class so shrewdly expressed. At
last the stranger halted his horse outside
the Five Angels" at Cation.
1T is good inn, and l know the ale
of DID," said he when / had finished
that Dream of Piers the Plowman which
| have recited to you, the last verses
were thus:
Now have l brought my little booke
to an ende
Gods blessing be on him who drinke
will me sende'-
l pray you come in with me and share it. y
May" said Nigel, "we must on our
way, for we have far to go. But give
me your name, my friend, for indeed we
have passed merry hour listening to
your words.
Have carel" the stranger answered,
shaking his head You and your class
will not spend merry hour when these
the Plowman grows weary of swinking
in the fields and takes up his bow and his
staff in order to set this land in order
by Saint PAUL l expect that we
shall bring Peter to reason and also those
who have put such evil thoughts into his
head" said Nigel. $50 once more ask
your name, that I may know it if ever
l chance to hear that you have been
hanged?"
The stranger laughed good -humoredly.
''You can call me Thomas Lakeland, -
said he. Il should be Thomas Lack brain
if were indeed to give my true name,
since good many robbers, some in black
gowns and some in steel, would be glad
to help me upwards in the way you speak
of. So good-day to you, Squire, and to
you also, archer, and may you find your
way back with whole bones from the
wars!"
That night the comrades slept in
Godstone Priory, and early next morning
they were well upon their road down
the Pilgrims Way. At Titsey it was
said that band of villeins were out in
Westerham Wood and had murdered
three men the day before; SO that Nigel
had high hopes of an encounter; but
the brigands showed no sign, though the
travellers went out of their way to ride
their horses along the edges of the forest.
Farther on they found traces of their
work, for the path ran along the hillside
at the base of a chalk quarry, and there
in the cutting a man was lying dead.
From his twisted limbs and shattered
frame it was easy to see that he had been
thrown over from above, while his
pockets turned outward showed the
reason for his murder. The comrades rode
past without too close survey, for dead
men were no very uncommon objects on
the Kings highway, and if sheriff or
bailiff should chance upon you near the
body you might find yourself caught in
the meshes of the law.
Near Sevenoaks their road turned out
of the old Canterbury way and pointed

Then besides the men of the church
there were the men of trade, the merchant
in dusty broadcloth and Flanders hat
riding at the head of his line of pack
horses He carried Cornish tin, West
country wool, or Sussex iron if he traded
eastward, or if his head should be turned
westward then he bore with him the
ve1vets of Genoa, the ware of Venice,
the wine of France, or the arnor of Italy
and Spain. Pilgrims were everywhere,
poor people for the most part, plodding
YEARLY along with trailing feet and
and bundles over their shoulders. Here
and there on a gaily caparisoned paltrey,
or in the greater luxury of horse-litter,
some West-country lady might be seen
making her easy way to the shrine OF
Saint Thomas.
Besides all these a constant stream of
strange vagabonds drifted along the
road MINISTRIES who wandered from fair
to fair, foul and pestilent crew; Jugglers
and acrobats, quack doctors and tooth
drawers, students and beggars, free
workmen in search of better wages, and
escaped bondsnen who would welcome
any wages at all. Such was the throng
which set the old road smoking in haze
of white dust from Winchester to the
narrow sea.
But of all the wayfarers those which
interested Nigel most were the soldiers.
Several times they passed little knots
of archerS or men-at-armS, veterans from
France, who had received their discharge
and were now making their way to their
southland homes. They were half drunk
all of them, for the wayfarerS treated
them to beer at the frequent inns and ale
stakes which lined the road, SO that they
cheered and sang Justify as they passed.
They roared rude pleasantres at Awkward,
who turned in his saddle and shouted his
opinion of them until they were out of
| hearing.
Once, late in the afternoon, they over
took a body of a hundred archers all
marching together with two knights riding
at their head They were passing from
Guildford Castle to Reigate Castle, where
they were in garrison. Nigel rode with
the knights for some distance, and
limited that if either was in search of
| honorable advancement, or wished to
do some small deed, or to relieve himself
of any vow, it might be possible to find
some means of achieving it. They were
both, however, grave and elderly men,
intent upon their business and with no
mind for fond wayside adventures, SO
Nigel quickened his pace and left them
behind.
They had left Boxhil1 and Headley
Heath upon the left, and the towers of
Reigate were rising amid the trees in
front of them, when they overlook
large, CHEEKY, red-faced man, with
forked beard, riding upon a good horse
and exchanging nod or a merry word
with all who passed him. With him they
rode nearly as far as Bletchingley, and
Nigel laughed much to hear him talk;
but always under the raillery there was
much earnestness and much wisdom in
all his words. He rode at his ease about
the country, he said, having sufficient
money to keep him from want and to
furnish him for the road. He could
speak all the three languages of England,
the north, the middle and the SOUTH so
that he was at home with the people of
