20 TTIT. OMAIIA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, JULY 1C, 1002. ... .,! J-arbara of Ollerton. Bj (Copyright, lni, by Mai Pemberton.) CHAPTER XII. The rum That rises upmost, when the nation holla. Dryrten. In a belt of tbe trees at the western eatretnlty of fit. James' flrlda where they began to bonier upon the manor of Hyde add Ha park, Roy of Calverton waited with a hundred about blm for the passing of tbe rebel. It waa o'clock on a aunny morn ing; dulcet mualc of the bells called the eitl-en to th abbey man. All the con tent, all the aweetnesa of day seemed breathed In that good hour. The distant elty, clear to be seen upon the horlr.on, lifted sunlit spires and flashing windows to ft heaven of blue. By here and there, un conscious of what wsa passing, travelers went northward, southward, to the river aad the Tillages. Peace touched the scene with her golden brush, giving to the spark ling meadow a freshness of her dews, to the leaves a tremor aa of the gentle spring time, liven cattle browsed within a hun dred paces of that ambush. The hundred lay concealed In the thicket aad ao had their leader placed them that eae passing on the high road might not ao much as espy a glimmer of the sunshine upon their helmets, a flash of the Lincoln green amid their leafy bower. Aware now of the Issue, they spake but In whispers. The hour of truce wrought upon their nerves as an hour of waiting Intolerable. Impatient horses . champed and whinnied. "Think ye that they come?" Roy of Cal verton alone aaked questlona of no men. , "Ye will not discover until the word be spoken," be said, grown sure In that com mand which the night had given him. "I command your patience, comrade. We are but a hundred against four thousand and nought but stratagem will save us this day. lot it be our bualneaa that Wyatt shall ass In to my lord of Pembroke with aa few at hi back aa judgment and opportunity hall permit. I would not have ye forget that these be poor people, whom Ignorance hath misled. They think to atrlke a blow for England, but atrlke only at that which Is our good security. Do so to them aa ye would it wore done to you It you were In like case. God bear me wltneaa, I will have no butcher' work this day!" Many aasented with a murmur of their praise. Had you pressed them for a rea- sen, perchance they knew not why they were there at all, if it were not that Roy of Calverton had bidden them. And the humor of their employment was not to be forgotten by any man. Hear Meagre, the dwarf, as he bandies the jest: "God save law .and order and them that ge to and fro in forests," tald he; "I am all (or the sheriff's men, whose ears your wor ship nailed to the pump at Nottingham. Aye, masters, would ye be aa ravening wolves, hieing you to Sherwood again when the right royal nobility claps your honor a the back and saya, 'Godspeed!' Put me in a page's doublet - and I will serve Sir Hoy of Calverton! Ho, hoi there was on of hi name that my lord of 8tow did call the outlaw a sorry word for him that will ecui in a bishop' rochet when the day comes!" And then, remembering their need, he ' cried, "Speak, comrades, will ye not hold yeur tongues when all the cry is 'tip-toes T' " Roy, who loved the dwarf, suffered his humor patiently, a ever ha did la Sbur wood'a (tronghold. "And thou doat not fulfill the behest, law and order shall put you In yon brook presently!" He tweaked the dwarf by the ear and, pointing to the tree above him, he bade him climb it. "Thou limb of Satan, get ye up upon yon branch and tell me what thou aeeat on the road. 'Ride any In, or must law and order tarry yetT" Now the dwarf pulled hmself up from his addle and, being hidden by the leaves, he began to tell them of that which befell. There 1 a road, airs, and yon ia the river -blood of Paul! they etand where they tood an hour ago!" "Thou devil's scarecrow, who ride upon the read!" , - "Tbe wind, your worship. God know I will east a broomatlck if thoa hast the nlnd!" A little while they waited and then he poke again: "There b twin upon (our leg and oth er upon two; hid yourselves, my masters, lest they claim acquaintance!" Someone lifted a halbred and mad pre tense to prick hlin a he sat, but hla mock cry waa hushed upon hla Hps and he that held the halbred withdrew It. "Thou aeeat something spawn ' Th road there, the meadow ia thr. i and, Qod reward ye, I bid you draw, Blasters, heaktn! Like ye the music. Te hall hear more presently, for yonder be thoa who would marry tha queen." It was no frolic of his jest. Those who erstwhile had dared the laugh or the Jest now fell to a grim silence. Swords leaped from their scabbards, callvera were up lifted, bows wer strung, pikes slung up; the very horses seemed to stand a at some call of duty. In the branch of the tree Meagre, the dwarf, put on tbe wisdom of th sage. "I aee a man upon a white hers and hundred that ride about him. There are pennon for the breeze; but they be of raga, master. Wuld y carry a hedge pol less bravely for that?

G give them ater fcr charlty'a sakel Now, there be these three, faith, hope" They dragged him from the tree to al ienee him, and the discordant musle com ing on the breeze to tell them of Wyatt' near approach, Roy himself pressed for ward to the tblcket'a edge and watched that cavalcade go by. Never did man "THERE APPEARED IN THE NARROW STREETS THE MEN OF SHERWOOD, A VERY PHALANX OF 6HININO STEEL AND fLA8hinO OREEN." look upon spectacle so sorry. This horde, which would have pressed on to th very throne, truly was charity It need. Worn ud weary, armored in mud, ita horses drooping, its weaklings falling to dewy beds, it stoutest heart tormented by hunger and by thlrat. It very hope ebbing on the threshold of its goal, sadna alone still cried "onward!" For let us look at the manner of It and the aspect It wear upon th threshold of London elty. Here, you shall see a bevy of urchins to herald it . They wave bougha; bough cover their nakedness. . Or look again and number that naked bevy whoae raga stream aa banner, whoa very face are emeared with dlrtl Will auch win London for Wyatt, will auch drive the Spaniard out? Hark en to the ribald priests, aa, masquerading ia tattered alb aad dirty maniple, they scoff th mass, deride the office. Nor let th brighter trapping of ambition deceive you. A brave picture shall Wyatt show upon hi good whit horse, brave shall be bis words, brave his bearing; but the ahadow of the ax loom upon him and hi frilow; the very voice are too weak to cry, "London"! London!" The burden haa bent tbe yeo man' back downward to the ground h aprang from. Tbe breese haa torn th ribald banner and mocked their blason; the road tbe people pass by ia black with the figures of them that fall. Ay, London London 1 so close to them now! Let the eye pa beyond these pleas ant fields, and there stand Paul's and there the ramparts. Knock, and ye shall be answered! Vain fools that utter a watch word so vain! A fair city y see, th city of your desires, but the answer come whence ye seek it not. No vigil has worn the voloe which burst from yon thicket aa a volley of thundorl No dirt besmear that Lincoln green, no laggard there (all impotent. With on gra cry, "A Roy! A Roy of Calverton!" with sword uplifted and bow bent, with a roar of a mighty imaukuc, lug uuuuivu nuv vul ii. uuiit I th serried ranks. Where but a moment rone v had aeen a thousand llmnlna- eaat- wara t th city gate, y aball see a thou- aand now turn headlong westward as from a pit of hell! Ay, what crlea for mercy are uttered, what oaths, what ec reams of anger and pain! A grass before the scythe these would-be reapers go down to death or captivity. Strong men fall upon their knees and crave mercy; women drop for very fear. That roaring,, surging multitude, riven by the horsomen, aa a tree by tb az, bends and breaks, swaya and totter. Th day la won, tbe end haa come. Above all the clamor ye shall hear the voice of Roy of Calverton crying to them to make hi vic tory good: "Ye have them ye have them, for God and Queen Mary this day!" CHAPTER XIII. With ruin upon ruin, rout on rout. Paradise Lost. Five hundred, they Bay, passed In with Wyatt and went on to Ludgat and the city when the cavalcade In St. Jame' field cut the multitude asunder. Unaware of that Fiaf,, Llico BUGS, aad all othu Vmnia cat deadly blow, Intent upon the arena before him, the rebel leader drew no rein nor waited for the messengers. The Tower waa hla journey's end, the palace hla citadel. He knew not that a thouaand had turned from him at Hay Hill and the Bride. He knew not that Roy of Calverton pressed close upon htm and spoke of victory In that pursuit, "My lord of Pembroke waits fcr them at Charing," the outlaw said, urging on ward to the gate; "we aball not miss that play, comrades! Nay, my heart Is heavy for these poor devil aad their sorry mas querade. Such I the gulf that He between the end and the ambition. Many pay when a traitor bay. God know they shall be charged a good account presently!" He had sheathed hi sword at thla time and none that rode with him remembered hla arms. Those poor devil by the road tide, some trembling with their fears, some fallen for very weakness, some believing death to be their neighbor, what judge' part ahould Sherwood' men play in such a jouse! Homeless outcast, what conaptracy could these beggars contrive? Ay, death would claim them soon enough death and th prison and tha gibbet. Let them cher ish what grace the day ahould give them, Roy said; at Charing he should aee a finer sight. , "It my lord of Pembroke b yet out of petticoat, he hath thla Wyatt, surely! Nevertheless, I mistrust him, comrades. Ther 1 a man' work to do In London; belike our hand shall be needed there!" He pressed on at a canter upon the main high road as though th echo of th distant clamor were some signal to him, and being coma to Charing, he asked vainly (or tidings of my lord's men. Th din of riot waa not here. Such rebel a lagged, hugged bloody wounda or lay moaning at the gate of th noble' houses. Tha village iUelf waked with goa slpers. Tou had counted a hundred about tha cross who told in wonder their story of th march. To these ever and anon a ingl horseman, flying aa from pursuit, gave assurance of Wyatt' victory, or was named a boaater by one that followed him. Maid watched from the wlndowa of th houaea or carried water to tha wretched laggarda who craved tor God' sake. Bells were still tolling In the Mlnater church, cannon were beard from London bridge. But go a hundred pace to th field and all la of tha common day again. Men work contentedly In pleasant gardens, wagon creak and rumble with their market burden, friend speaka to friend of sale and barter, the children run to th echool house fear -Ingly. Roy passed through Charing with a aura hand upon hi bridle, and being assured that the need of him lay eastward, he aet hla men (or Ludgate and th hill at Paul'. "Qod knowa what shall befall it fear of this Wyatt hath opened tho gatea," be said: "I would as leave count upon yon old woman' prattle aa upon my lord of Pembroke' wisdom! Let Wyatt pass In, and all may yet be undone! There is magic of a nam which sheaths th stout est sword. Press on, friends, let the play be done ere we ae th groundlings!" He gave a ready example to them, and those that rode after him would draw again and go with naked swords in their hands. Every step now I toward the heart of the riot, to that discordant music they play by Paul's and th hill. Grooms and serving men at the doors of the great houses in the Btrand cry "Hasten, hasten, for God' sake!" Men, showing their hurts, stumble and fall by wall and arch way; they leave bloody tracka behind them. Apprentice who bawl "The gate 1 downl Th gat i down!" swarm about th horsemen and Jeer their tardi ness. As the scene I approached, tbe Bar by Temple, and thence to Fleet street, th shouts become more discordant, th riot more distinctly to be beard, the for tune of the day more truly to be read. For here Is a great pre of people, leap ing and contending, that they may not mlaa the spectacle. Every lattice show it array of anxiou face; th very roofa ar peopled by the doubling cltisen. Lend ear, and above that brawling uproar you shall not mistake the voice more resonant of the angry mob that crlea ao valiantly, A Wyatt! A Wyatt!- Battle ragea la truth, tbe din of conflict, the ultimate en counter. Monstrous bludgeons beat upon the Iron of the gates; every arquebua belt he It vomit of lingering smoke. There r arrow flying In th air, grat tone hurled, cythe waved a banner, pike shivered agalnat the unyielding bar rter. Th chief rebel hlmaelf, beating at the portal, calla loudly: "I am Wyatt; the queea haa granted all any petitions!" But none of those who serve th gat lay dowa hi arm, none crlea a welcome. In a lull of the storm mark tha voice of my Lord Howard who answer te the rebel "Avaunt. traitor, thou shalt have no en trance here!" "Thus 1 the rebel defied, with a taunt which charged th arquabuae again, and agala drove the archers to the ramparts. Counting no more than forty of his com pany, Wyatt. In truth, knew that the and waa here, here the death decree written. For tbl. th death about him, the Iron bar rier, th reproach "traitor!" th mocking citisens. the shadow of th gibbet, he bad persuaded these men of Kent, who now cursed hi nam and tha day hla mother bar him. Aye, what availed that giant oarage waUa. still could wear a amlllng face and throw back at my lord the easwer log jeat aad challenge! "Nay, thou shall opea willingly enough era the hour be done, my lordand we will see who, I traitor theat Back, eomrsdes, to find the who shall eompel this boaster!" He turned his horse, and, eresstng the bridge-, would hav beat up Fleet treet once more and eo returned to that multi tude he deemed to be walling for him at Charing.. Perchance, even then, eould ht fellow have come in to overawe the gap ing ciUsens and to threaten the keeper of th gate, the day would have been his, the goal attained. But It befell that, a ha forced a path westward toward th Bar, ther appeared in the narrow treet tho men of Sherwood, a very phalanx of shin ing steel and flashing green, and, (purring when they beheld the rebels as at some Joust or tournament, they cam on with a thunderous shout and In that fearful embrace the last word spoken. Down, now, are down a tree th storm uproot so fall the remnant; so la the flam of thla conspiracy quenched. Look out from the window of any house and you shall aee rearing horses and cloven skulls, bleeding bodies and heart laid bar, a worming, gasping mass, the faces of men in their agony, the limbs that horses tread. A th thud of on great ea upon another, the force meet, as the wave upon the shingle the forester spread over their foes. For God and Queen Mary this day now at length the prayer 1 answered. For yonder 1 Wyatt sinking Impotent before Ludgate, and yonder ia Sir Morris Barclay, who shall carry him to St. James and the scaffold. ' - "I hav kept touch," he says. , Touch hath he kept, indeed, but the' band la clammy as tbe finger of death. CHAPTER XIV. The element be kind to thee, and make Thy aplr'ta all of comfort. Antony and Cleopatra. They carried Wyatt to St. James', a thou sand running about Sir Maurice Berkley'a house, a thousand more heralding the affair in the purlieus of the palace. Bound hand and foot now, mocked by every tongue, spat upon, buffeted, the poet's son was lifted up aa some mummy for th people' (port, some beast they had caged for the balling. None pitted htm nor cried "Oodapeed." They had no grace (or th vanquished. With destiny this man had wrestled, to deetlny must he pay the price. Men said that bis head would grin from London bridge before the week had run. Those who had f tared him greatly an hour ago would have torn him limb from limb If the archer had per mltted. But the forty out of Sherwood closed about that pitiful figure; they beat tha people back; they befriended one whom all had deserted. Now, It befell that the running herald of th downfall cam to St Jame' ahead of the archer who buffeted the people, and a each on entered In, hi tale waa ever of Roy and thoie who had followed him in the peril of the field. Making known to all th strange deed of that day, they spoke chiefly of the outlaw and th brav part he had played tftnee liberty waa given him. Which fair report, coming to my lord chan cellor's ears, waa by him very boneatly car ried to the queen, and ao received that he repented anon the generosity which bad him speak. . "Tour majesty," he aald, "God aad eur Lady be thanked (or this day's work. Tour outlaw haa taken Wyatt, and rldea evea to the palace gate with blm." So greatly had the new wrought upon hlra, th record aya, that he must stumble with th words, and burst in upon Queen Mary aa one that had won fortune of an heur, but th queea, whoae courage waa well remembered by them all. would con fess ao surprise of It nor applaud hi hast. "Tou come, my lord, upon a pleasant er rand. I thi th vole that counseled me thla day to feu to my father' palace at Hampton and trust myself to Ood. Ay, ye wear stout heart, but y hide them well. These wer those that would ride forth upoa th instant. Let them rid now, I beseech you, that they com to om re membrance of their ehame." It was written that my lord knew not how to answer her, but while he would hav made excuse she bethought herself of a command which had been la her mind from the first. "For this Roy, th outlaw, whom aom hav knowa aa th count of Brieve, I lid you writ eur pardon. Let th daughter of Bernard of Ollerton be confirmed in her estate and molested by none. Tou will bear thi to th count with your awn band. Ye owe him some honest apology. Nay, answer nothing, my lord wer It not for thl man you mocked your head, assuredly, had been the first his fellow aaked." My lord, they aay, buttoned hi velvet cap with nervous finger and went In 111 concealed humor to do her majesty' bid ding. Th palace by thl time echoed th busy footstep of them who came in and out with their loud-toogued aewa of victory. A a storm eloud which buret harmlaasly th tempest of (ear passed from London and tha ouUklrta. For very Joy strangers kissed In ths streets and gave thanka to God. .Th churches wer filled with thankful women; the street awoke to the eld habit of sal and barter and ths common affair. But of Roy, th outlaw, many la th palace spoke, and it came anoa to my Lord Gardiner that the queen had summoned him and that hs bad gone to her. "She bath bung a chain of goia about hi neck and kissed him on th cheek. We are not heard today, my lord. Seek favor of him if ye would do wlaely be may yet crave one good head upoa a charger." Roy u with the queen. Indeed, In a little room of the palace, that gave upoa the chapel, and boasted a aplendld arras which a pep bad sent to King Harry. Here, all dusty, his cloak torn, hla boot greea with th grass, his Lincoln green stained with the bed be had elept upon, he told Mary tbe story of the morning and waa by her called "friend." Nay, ther were tear la her eyes, the record says, and when presently my lady came timidly to th room and Roy held out strong arm to her, crying, "Thou best beloved, tell me it Is well with thee." took In a close embrace which none might shame, the queen herself must turn for very weeping and become all womanly for very tendernesa. "Thou friend of mine how shall I say 'leave me?" Need enough hav I of brave heart that this on should know me no more. Oh, my gratitude speaks 111 of alt that I would tell thee. Thou wilt com again to London, to my home?" He answered her that, God helping him,' he would come, and, unclaaptng th gold badge which held hi doublet at the throat, he knelt and proffered It, "Send thy messenger with thla trinket and Roy of Calverton shall draw no rein until he be at your side again. Nay, your majesty, I go where I shall beat serve In all lov and fidelity to the forest that bred tbe stout heart which this day wrought (or your life and kingdom. Grant me sov ereignty of tbeae, that I may proclaim It In the city, and no man gainsay me. Te hav not friend more sure than Shsrwood' men nor these that loved the play of Robin and his fellows. Let my queen give me her 'Godspeed.' I ask no other recom pense." He proffered tbe Jewel and tha queen, pinning It to her breast, made haste to aend tor the chancellor. "My lord," she ald, "ye have something to say to Roy of Calverton. Let It be aid here and now, that your honor may not Buffer by delay." She waited tor the chancellor, but he right shrewdly, would stumble no more, and all humbly he put the paper Into the out law's hand'and craved his forgiveness. "Three days gone I said that I had found a man. Te will bear me' no ill will, sir, if I spoke a true prophecy." And then to my lady he said: "What shall I say of thee If It 1 not that thou ar a worthy daughter of hlin who ruled at Ollerton? God aend thee light, my daughter. Thou wilt yet be of our holy faith." ; My lady would not make him any answer, but to Queen Mary ahe aald very prettily: "Aye, of tbe faith which haa won your majesty' lov today!" At aundown the forty rode out of London to Sherwood and their home. The city lay behind them, aflame In the golden light. Th ahadow of peace waa upon the field; th herald of th night winged In th client wood. A some tragedy which twilight veiled the atory of the peril waa blotted out in that' gladness of victory, th day for gotten in th morrow' hop. They rod tor Sherwood and the north aye, with what content, with what mutual consolations, with what a tale to tell! Outlawa no longer, tha very law admitted their sovereignty. Henceforth no man should question their dominion; no sheriff mock them. They had taked all. won all In that fearsome throw. The feast alone remained the beacons they would kindle, the cup they would pa, th bells they would ring in Sherwood's heart. A glad pilgrimage, northward, homeward, away from the city and its world, away from tbe babbling tongues, the busy press of men. There proudly before them rode he who had reaped these richea for them; there, too, rode my lady, for whose sake London had called them. And now their love had earned thl rich reward tb Joy he bare with her, the eweet. girlish glad ness, the merry laughter. Little wonder that their hearts war light, their tongue unstllled. No child of their more dear to theae men of Sherwood than Barbara of Ollerton, for whose sake they served. And ah had com to her own again. , Aye, let the bell ring, the beacon be kindled for Roy of Calverton shall sleep upon her heart tonight and forget all else in thl harvest of her love. (Tbe End.)

While crossing th ocean recently Tier peat Morgan heard someone refer to draw i poker a th great American game. - Th financier Indignantly proteated, saying: "It la not a game characteristic of the Ameri can people and it never will be. It Is baaed upon a lie and the man who ha the great est capacity for deceit usually wins. Th effect upon boys I to make them think d celt and bluff are smart and essential to work. It Is an iniquitous gam and ought to he abolished." There is an old tory of a rellglou as sembly in France getting Into a dispute over a theological question, and In order to set tie 'it a rail w made for a Greek Testa- meat, but no on of th delegates had ana. But when the win waa brought In and a call waa mad for a corkscrew a dosea or mora of the clerical delegate were found to posse them. Some of those delegate may hav been in th crowd en th shore at Ocean Groves N. J recently, when a man nearly drowned waa brought out of th water and there waa a loud cry for whisky, Almost In a flash, says the dispatch relating the affair, fourteen flask of whlaky were exposed and offered In the crowd, one flask having written on it tha prescription: ''Good at any drug store." A Chicago dairyman, charged with sell ing Impure milk, brought into court lx women with bable too young to talk, but whose looks bespoke good health. Th mother testified that th bable wer fed on milk furnished by the defendant, and the bable themaelve were put tn evldenco a exhibit A to F inclusive. ' When two of the exhibit cried the eourt had to admit that their lung power afforded presumptive prcof that there were no tuberculosis germs in the milk. It Is probably the first case on record in which children too young te talk were cited as witnesses. Two smart young men of Bayonne, N. J., were sentenced to thirty day in Jail, with out the alternative of a fine, by a local magistrate the other day for persistent at tempts to flirt with a respectable young woman of that city who was watting at th doer of a etore for her husband. In de livering aentence the court atated that it would . be very dangerous hereafter for masters to ply their contemptible trade la that town. ; At a beefsteak dinner given recently at Palm garden, Greene and Hamburg; avenues, Brooklyn, among a few friend, Michael Schmidt, a cigar manufacturer, and Her man Hochwart. on of th proprietor of th garden, entered Into a contest a to who had th best appetite, the contest being for a handsome umbrella. The other at dinner watched the contest with much enjoyment. The referee selected was Frank Ross, a partner of Hochwart, who claim to be tbe champion steak eater of tha country. Th contestant started off eating three dosen little neck clams, six platea of chowder, three small loaves of rye bread and then the steaks war tackled. When Hochwart had finished aeven and a half pound of teak he withdrew from th contest, for Schmidt had Juat finished eight pounds. The umbrella was then awarded to Schmidt amid much applause. Each of th conteatanU also drank several bottle of ale. The oth er in the party were ex-County Treasurer Peter P. Huberty, ex-Assemblyman Wlcke, Xr. Olanblt and Mr. Brown. A child struck by lightning, apparently dead and terribly burned, was placed In a grave, July 7, by Russians at Olen Lyon, Pa., and half an hour later was taken out conscious and with no other effect of th lightning except the burn, it I allvo and doing well.
