est image of that England which he had left behind
him.
But if Nigers friends had learned that this was
the morning of his leaving his enemies too were
the alert. The two comrades had just emerged
from the Chantry woods and beginning the
ascent of that curving path which leads upward
to the old Chapel of the Martyr when with hiss
like angry snake a long white arrow streaked
under Pommers and struck qulvering in the grassy
turf. A second whizzed past Niges ear as he
tried to turn; but Awkward struck the great war
horse sharp blow over the launches, and it had
galoped some hundreds of yards before its rider
could pull it up Awkward followed as hard as he
could ride, bending low his horses neck,
while arrows whizzed all around him.

lord, do not ride forward. What chance has a

Indeed, Awkward, I think that you speak

the very man himself"
They sat their horses with their backs to the

there in its shadows which spoke of these lurking
foes. But there long moot upon horn,
and at once a score of russet-clad bowmen ran
forward from amid the trees, spreading out into
a scattered line and closing swiftly in upon the
travellers. In the midst of them, upon a great
gray horse, sat small misshapen man, waving and
cheering sets hounds on a badger, turning
his head this way and that he whooped and
pointed, urging his bowmen onward up the slope.

Nigel had to decline the draft for it meant riding

Nigel and Mary found themselves alone under the
solemn old Gothic arches in front of the dark
Swallowed recess in which cleaned the golden
reiquary of the saint In silence they knelt side
by side in prayer, and then came forth once more
out of the gloom and the shadow into the fresh
sunlit summer morning They stopped they
descended the path, and looked to right and left
at the fair meadows and the blue Wey curling
down the valley.
What have you prayed for, Nigel" said she.
4 have prayed that God and His saints will
hold my spirit high and will send me back from
France in such fashion that | may dare to come
to you and to claim you for my own"
"Bethink you well what it is that you say,
Nigel" said she. What you are to me only my

upon your face again rather than abate by one

formed it into beauty more lofty
and more rare than that of her shallow
sister. He bowed before the majesty
of the woman, and pressed his lips
to her hand You are like a star
upon my path which guides me on the
upward way" said he. "Our souls
are set together upon the finding of
honor, and how shall we hold each
other back when our purpose is the
same?"
She shook her proud head. $50 it

may be otherwise as the years pass.
How shall you prove that l am
indeed help and not hindrance?"
Il will prove it by my deeds,

Catharine, on this, the Feast of
Saint Margaret, | take my oath
that I will do three deeds in your
honor as a proof of my high love

stand as a proof to you that if l
love you dearly, still will not let

Her face shone with her love and
her pride. Il also make my oath,
said she, land do it in the name of

She had taken little bangle of gold f1gree
work from her arm and fastened it upon his sun
burnt wrist, reading aloud to him the engraved
motto in old French: I" Fdis que dois, ad0iegne
que pourYa-cest commando an che1ulier" Then for
one moment they fell into each others arms and

woman, they swore their troth to each other But

the old man would be proud of me

of gold pieces, and please God, shall

Nigel shook his head, for indeed
it seemed hopeless to try to bridge
the gulf between them. Already
they had made such good progress
along the brid1e-path through the
heather that the little hill of
Saint Catharine and the ancient
shrine upon its summit doomed
up before them. Here they
crossed the road from the south \
to London, and at the crossing
two wayfarers were waiting who
waved their hands in greeting,
the one a tall, slender, dark
woman upon white jennet, the other
a very thick and red-faced old man,
whose weight seemed to curve the
back of the stout gray cob which
he bestrode.
What how, Nigel" he cried.

To that has it turned. Is there room in it

at their highest in one mind? Do you not call to
