aAE PLACID FR HAD UPON THE BLOCK, AND R LAST WORDS R[
 LORD, NTo 7HY HANDS GonrEND fY c)PRlT.

Among those who were racked was Sir Tn omas Wyatt. He withstood the question ordinary with heroic forti- tude; but sharper tortures were ap- piled until even he could bear no more; and in his exquisite agony he said what his tormentors desired. He accused the Princess Elizabeth of having been d party to the conspiracy with the ex- pectation of gaining the throne for himself.
 At once Elizabeth was seized and brought from Ashbridge to the Tower, where she proudly demanded to be con- fronted with Wyatt. She was taken to the subterranean dungeons and con fronted with dreadful spectacle. At one side of the room which was lighted by dull lamp from the roof and fur nished with hideous implements wh ich all seemed to have been used recently, crouched wretched being on whose form every refinement of torture had been practiced. A cloak was thrown over his shattered lower limbs to con ceal them, but his writhen and ghastly featured showed the extremity of suf- fering. Eliza beth could scarcely be- lieve that in this miserable object, whom it would have been a mercy to dispatch, she beheld the once bold and naughty Sir Thomas Wyat.
 Near him stood the queen, looking at Elizabeth coldly.
 "Sir Thomas Wyatt cried Elizabeth in loud and authoritative tone, step ping towards him, you have accused me of countenancing your traitorous practices against the queens highness. You well know it is false. Do not die with such a stain upon your knight hood and your honor. The worst Is over. Further application of he'racls would be fatal, and 1t will not be re- sorted to, because you would thus es- cape the scaffold Retract your words, I command you, and declare my inno- cence."
 q do.'' replied Wat, in firm tone "I have falsely accused you, and was induced to do so in the hope of pardon. I unsay all I have said and will die proclaiming your innocence
 At his request his supporters placed him at the feet of the princess, where he begged for her pardon. Turning to the queen, he declared that now he had told the truth. Then he motioned to the attendants to raise him.. the pain of kneeling being too exquisite for en- durance.
 Now. seeing simon Renard, who stood near the queen, he cried, Tt was you. who instigated the charge that the princess was conspiring with me, You, who have deceived the queen--deceived me-and would deceive the devil, your master. if you could!'
 "I ask no clemency for myself cried

1 berland went to the block, where he died pusillanimously enough, making open recantation of the Protestant creed in the hope of a pardon at the last moment. The last words that he heard ere the ax fell were the curses of Gunnora Braose for his murder of Somerset.
 Far from being deterred from further ambition, Lord Dudley allowed neither the death of his father nor the un- hoped mercy in his own case to take from him the dream of yet possessing the crown--a dream that was changed to hot desire when the news suddenly swept through England that Queen Mary was about to espouse the hated Spanish king.
 The French ambassador de Noailles was quick to see his chance. He drew to him all the nobles who hated the Spaniard and the Oh urch of Rome. Be- tween them they succeeded in helping Courtenay to escape from the Tower. Then the conspirators lost no time in inflaming the minds of the people, and soon England was afire with the cry: No inquisition! No inquistion in Englandv
 Dudley hastened to join the forces that were rising around London, and insisted that Lady Jane accompany him. She fell on her knees before him and besought him to abandon the plan. Believe me-" cried she, this plot will fail totally and conduct us all to the scaffold. I implore you to remain here and submit to the queen. l will take no part in your criminal design"
 Farewell forever, then," said Dud- ley. "Snce you abandon me in this extremity I shall no longer consider myself bound to you by any ties.'
 Alas" said she. T cannot part thus. Since you will have it so. l will go with you.'
 Come. then" cried Dudley. taking her by the hand, "to the throne"
 No" replied Jane sadly, "to the scaffold."
 At first the insurrection was triumz phant beyond the widest hope of the hearted Sir Thomas Wyatt beat down all resistance and at last invested the Tower But here the uprising fell back shattered In twenty-four hours after the Tower was attacked the supporters of Queen Mary had dispersed the en- emy and the leaders were In dungeons in the Tower.
 Now the subterranean. chambers of the fortress resounded with the groans of the tortured. Some expired on the rack others were secretly executed. twenty pairs of gallows were erected in the public places in London. and even the churches were converted into prisons.

most since his childh ood, for he was of the royal blood, and it had been to the interest of many to keep him out of sight
 Before long Simon Renard remarked that Mary smiled most radiantly on the young prisoner, and he decided to nip the affair at once, for he intended that the queen should wed his master, King Phillip of Spain.
 Another cunning plotter saw, but did not object. This was De Noailles, Ambassador from France, who well comed any marriage of the queen ex- cept one with the Spanish king.
 Thus. scarcely had one head lost the crown and another assumed it. ere the curse of the old Tower began to weave around the new weaver.
 It was not long before all the court was aware that Mary loved Courtenay. The queens hand was his when he should choose to grasp it. The peers approved. Only his own folly could snatch the prize from him.
 Simon Renard perceived the oppor- tunity. Strictly confined from his youth, the beauty of the ladies at court bewildered and enchanted the young man. The crafty Spaniard at once led him in the paths of gallantry, and then took care that the story of her favor 1te'S adventures SnOulu reacn lio queens ears.
 Mary heard--and pardoned. The Span iard saw that he must use stronger measures He brought Courtenay and Elizabeth together, Knowing that there was not a creature in the world Of whom Mary was as jealous as her sis ter His plan succeeded better and sooner than he had dared to hope. It was only a few weeks before he was able to lead Mary to place where Courtenay was on his knees before Elizabeth.
 That night Courtenay and Elizabeth were prisoners in their apartments and Mary signed the1 marriage contract with Philip of Spain.
 At first Mary was bent in her rage on putting both to death but her ad- wiser. Gardiner, Bishop of Winches ter. warned her that she would have a rebellion to face, because every step taken against Elizabeth would be fear fully resented by the Protestant party, which looked to her all the more since Mary was an ardent Catholic. The artful Bishops appeal to Mary's brun- ing zeal for the cause of her creed was snccessfu. The injured queen con tented herself with making Courtenay a close prisoner and banishfng sEliz- abeth to Ash bridge.
 She showed mercy, too, to Lady Jane and Lord Dudley. liberating them on condition that they retire to private life But the proud Duke of Northum-

 History has told what happened as | the result of this grim scene. Eliza beth and Courtenay were pardoned. and 1 in the end Renard was dismissed from I court in disgrace before Philip of Spain arrived. and thus, after all his plot ting, did not realize his dreamed-of plan of ruling England through his ! master.
 Cuthbert Cholmondeley who had | been taken with Lord Dudley was tn | next victim to taste the rack. His tor ture was destined to be the more eX- quisite because it was to be adminis- tered by his enemy, Night tgall, who had nearly starved before he was found and released from the dungeon where the squire had left him chained
 Just as he came to the head of the stairs leading to the torture cham
 ber the door opened and a great glare of red light burst forth, while dis mai groan smote his ears. It was fol- lowed by creaking noise the meaning of which the squire divined too well. The first object that caught Chol- mondeley's gaze was figure covered from head to foot in a bloody cloth. Cholmondeley was convinced from the stature of the hidden man that he was Lord Dudley, and cried his name In anguish. The figure was greatly agi- tated, but only an inarticulate sound could be heard. The attendants hur- ried away with him. and Cholmondeley was seized and thrown on the rack The sharpness of torment to which
 the hate-filled Nightg gall subjected him
 was such as few could have withstood.
 But not a groan burst from him
 though his whole form seemed rent
 by the dreadful tension. At last the
 surgeon declared that his bones would
 be wrenched asunder if another turn
 were given to the rack and the jailer
 sulkily permitted him to be carried away
 and restored.
 When he became conscious. two men
 in sable dresses were chafing his limbs
 with ointment which had marvellous

Under Fire

Victor Rousseau. in Harpers Weekly
 Five miles from flank to flank. unseen by their invisible foes, 5000 men lar prone, held to the ground by that un- ceasing shower which hooted over them. They knew that somewhere some direct ing mind controlled them, and they lay there. eager. as all recruits to charge Two hundred yards in front was a safety zone from which. once gained, they might advance uninjured almost up to the enemy's trenches. Many had tried this perious passage; it was strewn thickly with corpses, which made strange, irregular depressions in the waist-high grasses.
 High overhead. mere specks in the blue, the vultures waited. They had fol- lowed the trail of dead transport anil mals which marked the progress of the column. Corporal Herring shuddered as he squinted up at them He had seen focks of these sable scavengers, clus- tered on dead horses, too gorged to rise, their bald heads whiter than leprosy their curved beaks indicative of horrible repletion.
 The suns hot trail blazed in the ze- nth of the brazen sky. Mrages danced over the staring plain-houses where trees had grown. rivers of gurgling water.
 An, those waters of the mirages! How they longed for them as they fiattened themselves beneath that pitiless glare. the swollen tongues lolling from their panting mouths! They almost envied the dead. who with open jaws and clenched fingers, lined the long slope behind them.
 Dust whitened their gaunt unshaven faces; dust had caked the moist neeks of their drained water-bottles; dust clog ged their eyes. their matted hair, and their sweat-stiffened shoulder-straps.
 One man, shot through the brain, twned and untwined his fingers cease lessly, winking away the flies that clus- tered upon his staring eyeballs. Under it's chocolate stains his face was whiter than clowns. Some sucked the sweet roots of grass blades to relieve their n- tolerable thirst; some rendered ravenous through fear. crunched their emergency rations of beef and chocolate in their dry mouths and could not swallow them. And everywhere Fear reigned. fear that would have driven them in headlong flight but for that sweeping sleet of nickel above them; fear that increased as the slow hours went by while they lay helpless.

NEWARK DOOMED

Says.

That there will be no break today
in the sizzling temperature, the hot
test of the year, until tomorrow, is the
prediction of the Washington, New
York and local weather authorities.
william Wiener, the local observer,
said today that the only hope for New
ark was a possible shower or two late
today, and that this town is due to
roast for the next twenty-four hours,
as it has for the past twenty-four.
The temperature now is lowering

from hat point from So degrees at
8 a. m. and rs degrees at Z a. m. 1t
will probably go up until 2:3O o'clock,
which is the hottest time of day.
This is the hottest day of the year.,
taking the honors from yesterday. when
the highest temperature was 80 and the
average SIT degrees. The humidity
was higher yesterday, but there was
a nice little ifteen-mile-an-hour breeze
to relieve our discomfort, which has
gone down to two miles an hour to-
day.
Up to noon there were no prostra-
tons in this city. There were four in
New York yesterday, and the local hos
pitfalls are looking for p~rostrations here.
The Washington Weather Bureau to-
day predicted that the warm wave that
now covers the country generally east
of the Rocky Mountains will break over
the plains States Tuesday, over the Mis-
sissippi Valley and the Western Lake
region Wednesday, in the Ohio Valley
and Eastern Lake region Wednesday
night, and in the Atlantic States Thurs
day. Local rains n thunderstorm

cided to hold a fair last Saturday
afternoon. They gave the fair and

DECLARES THE P.S.
IS NOT ASSESSED
NEARLY ENOUGH
County Tax Board Head Says
Tracks Are Worth $4,000
Instead of $4,000 a Mile.

That the Public Service Railway
Company was not assessed high enough
was the plant made at the conference
between the County Tax Board and the
city's Board of Assessment and Re
vision of Taxes, held in the formers
headquarters in the Court House to-
day.
Lathrop Anderson, the president of
the county board, made this somewhat
sensational statement to the city mem
bers.
"They tell you hat their tracks are
worth $1,000 a mile in the city of New
ark. I find that it Is very much more
than $4,000 a mile. 1t is nearly 500, 900.
They say that they must allow some
thing for depreciation, and in Newark
$50, 900 was expended for repairs.
There's not a place in the county
where they are assessed enough IN the
mile," commented Laurence T. Fell, an
other member of the county board.
President Anderson added that the
city board should get a detailed state
ment from the company as to its tax
able property.
Philip Lowry, president of the city's
board; A. Wildrick Swain, John Howe
and Frederick w. Paul were present
as representatives of that body.
