wi times fell upon England in
n the year 134S, when the great
plague devastated the land. 1t
was during this period that the story
of Sir Nigel takes place.
The house of Loring, like many an
other noble family, felt the heavy hand
of misfortune; for after the Barons
War and lawsuits with Waverly Abbey
the men of the church and the men of
the law left nothing but the manor of
Tilford for the remaining members of
the family, Lady Ermyntrude and her
grandson Nigel. ~
Nigel Loring came of a race of
heroes, his grandfather having fallen
at the battle of Stirling, and his father
in the sea fight of Sluys. Nigel, his
veins thrilling with the blood of hun
dred soldiers, was filled with the de-
sire for adventure and combat; having
been trained at the desire of his grand
mother in skill at arms, and courage
he became also a daring rider. At
times fierce bitterness assailed Nigel
at the thought of the wrongs done by
the Abbot of Waverly, whom he be-
lieved had robbed the Lorings of much
of their estate.
On the first day of May, the Festival
of the Apostles Philip and James, con-
sternation reigned at the Abbey, when
1t was found that large pike had
eaten the carp in Abbot Johns fish
pond, Nigel being accused of putting
the pike in the pond. Abbot John and
the sacrist, Brother Samuel, were in
consultation upon the subject, when
they were rudely interrupted by buzz
of excitement among the monks in the
cloister. A white-faced brother flung
open the door and rushing into the
room cried, "Father Abbot, alas, alas.
Brother John is dead, and the Sub
prior is dead, and the Devil is loose
in the five virgate field"
Now what the brother called the
"Devil'' was great yellow horse, held
at the Abbey for the debt of his owner,
Franklin Awkward; such horse, it was
said, was not to be found betwixt the
Abbey and the Kings stables at Wind
scr.
It was sorry day that brought the
horse to the Abbey, for no one there
could be found who would or could
ride him or conquer him; he had in
deed nearly killed the Brother and the
Subprior.
Abbot John and the monks, intent
upon seeing, with their own eyes, this
terrible creature, hurried down the
stairs and gained the wall Of the mea-
dow, where looking over its top they
beheld the magnificent horse standing
fetlock deep in the meadow grass. Up
on this wild scene there arrived riding
his pony the young Squire Loring,
small o: stature, but with muscles of
steel, and a soul Of fire; his face,
though tanned with the weather, was
delicate of feature. His whole appear
ance made him mark for the sight of
any passer-by, but at the first glance,
the brown face set in it's golden hair
and beard, and the daring light Of the
quick, reckless, laughing eyes, made
the one strong memory left behind.
The horse was at the moment tram
ping his latest victim and Nigel, spring
ing from his pony, was over the wall
and at battle with the creature, prov
ing himself master. Some discussion
arose among the monks as to the kill
ing of the yellow horse, or the giving
him to Nigel as punishment; the last
suggestion finally won, and Nigel pro-
teeded to further subdue the hereto

The Promoters Wife
By JANE PHELPS

three Of the men in town had more
than that to spend-men with fami-
lies. II gave Neil an added iptcrrst
in my eyes. Not that | consciously
liked him any better because of his
riches-as such an income seemed
to me. But it proved his ability.
Neil was a happy-natured fellw,
always Joking and smiling. He was
tall. straight, without an ounce OF
superfluous flesh. altho no one could
speak of him as thin" He had
dark brown hair and laughing eyes
He dressed we'll, and was thoroughly
well srocmed. Is 1t any wonder
that l should have loved him almost
from the beginning? And that my
dreams we're colorful because of the
part he played in them?
Now that / have told how Neil
looked, l suppose l should try and
describe myself, Barbara Hill. Well,
| was neither short nor tall. | was
very light with almost gold-colored
hair, but instead OF the blue eyes
that usually go with such hair, had
deep violet eyes | had good COM
pleMon, and mouth like other girls
Altho Neil said [ had the sweetest
mouth he ever saw But that was
because l had dimples in the cor
ners
When Neil told me he must go
the next day--he had already over
stayed his time, and he could not go
to Canada for a few days, as he had
inuendeds-l cried all might long
Then it took me an hour in the
morning to remove the traces OF my
tears.
We spent that last morning to-
gether. wandering thru a little wood
near the house. and sitting on n log
whore we had often sat and talked
OF differenet things-Neil doing most
OF the talking. Someway l felt my
lack of knowledge when with him
altho he never in any way obtruded
the fact of his better education.
II shall miss you ALL" he had said
digging his stick in the soft moss at
our feet.
And shall miss YOU" my voice
| trembled
shall you really, Bah" then he
put his arm around my waist, and
kissed me on my cheek. "Wiil you
answer my letters IL write you2"
Indeed l shall" I returned as
brightly as I could; yet with a queer
little feeling of disappointment that
he hadn't said more.
