through a long and at times painful
history. Something stirring has to

sheep Of the fold, stood awaiting pun

worst being that he, had "converset
with a maiden and did car
~ her across a stream, to the infinite
relish Of the devil"

Alleyne was a learned clerk, skilled
in music, writing. painting and other
attachments. His reading was scant
and he had only vague idea Of Eu-
rope, beyond which were Jerusalem,
the Holy land, and the great river
which hath its source in the Garden of
Eden" The abbot now told him OF
strange nations, including that Of the
fair but evil women who slay with be-
holding, like the basilisk. After many
prayers blessings and warnings from
the abbot against sin and the snares
Of women, Alleyne left the peaceful
abbey and went out into the world.
And he found 1t fearful place.
His only relative was brother, now
Socman Of Minstead, who had earned
an evil name. Alleyne decided to go
to his brother and try to reform him.
On the way he was set upon by rob-
bers and would have been killed had
not the balllff appeared. He was then
made sick by seeing one robber shot
and the other decapltated. Night
found him with a boIsterous crowd at
the Pied Merlin, kept by Dame Eliza.
His clerkly ways got him into trouble,
but big Horde John protected him.
Samkin Awkward, a bowman of the
White company, came in with rich
booty from France. He induced John
to enlist for the wars, and in the
morning ley started for Castle Twyn-
ham, held by the famous knight, Sir
Nigel Loring, who was to command
the White company.
Alleyne set out to find his brother.
In a forest he came upon the most
beautiful creature he had ever beheld.
Such he had pictured the angels. She
was being held against her will by a
big yelIow-haired man. Alleyne came
to the girls assistance and found that
the man was his brother.
"Young cub Of Beaulieui NY dogs

man. But he was unarmed, and Alleyne,
raising his iron-shod staff. compelled
him to free the girl. He ran for
weapons and dogs, but the other two
escaped through the woods. The
