CHAPTER XIV.
Justice.

It has fallen to my lot in the course
Of this veridical chronicle of Mr.. An
thony Wilding's connection with the
rebellion in the west, and of his we'd
ding and post-nuptial winning of
Ruth Westmacott, to relate certain
matters of incident and personality
that may be accounted strange. But
the strangest yet remains to be re-
lated. For in spite of all that had
passed between Sir Rowland Blake
and the Westmacotts on that memor-
able night of Sunday to Monday, on
which the battle of Sedgemoor was
lost and won, towards the end of that
same month of July we find him not
only back at Lupton House, but once
again the avowed suitor Of Mr. wild
ing's widow. For effrontery this is
matter Of which 1t is to be doubted
whether history furnishes a parallel.
Indeed, until the circumstances are
sifted it seems wild and incredible. So
let US consider these.
On the morrow Of Sedgemoor, the
town of Bridgwater became invest
ed-infested were no whit too strong
worldly the kings forces under
Feversham and the odious Kirke. and
there began reign Of terror for the
town. The prisons were choked with
attainted and suspected rebels. From
Bridgwater to Weston Zoyland the
road was become an avenue Of gal
lows, each bearing it's repulsive gem
mace-laden burden; for the kings
commands were unequivocal and
hanging was the order of the day.
1t Is not my desire at this stage to
surfeit you with the horrors that
were perpetrated during that hideous
week of July, when no mans life was
safe from the royal butchers. The
awful campaign of Jeffreys and his
four associates was yet to follow, but

Children of

Holland Hosts

Vienna, Aug. 4 "a. P. by maiD-
A strange but interesting lot of ex-
cCrsionists came to Vienna recently.
The party was made up ef chiIdless
couples from Holland who had taken
poor Austrian children into their own
homes when this country was at it's
worst after the war. They had come
TO visit the youngsters here, and to
see how they were getting along in
their native surroundings.
The Hollanders made the tourney
by special train and were met at the
station by their former wards. whose
parents and friends had organized a
reception committee. There was
much confusion at first, in the greet
iings. and it was only after some
hours that all the Hollanders were
able to identify their foster children.
In several instances some of the chill
dren who had gone to the station
went away greatly disappointed be-
cause they had been unable to find
the man and woman whose guests
they had once been in Holland. And
three OF the childless couples ascer-
tanned that they had made the trim
IN vain. owing to the fact that death
