Al leyne had turned to follow them, when he felt a touch upon his shoulder, and found a young page, by hla aide, "The frd faring commands," said the boy, "that you will follow me to th chamber, and uwalt him there." "but my comrades?" "His commands wer fsr you alone." Alleyne followed the messenger to the st end of the courtyard, where a broad flight or ateps lead Up to the doorway of the hull, the outer wall of which Is washed by the waters' of the Avon. As designed 11 1 first, no dwernng had been allotted to the lord of the castle and hla famillv but the dark and dismal base ment storey of the keep. A more civ liaed or more offended -generation, how ever, hud refused to be pent up In such a cellar, and the hall with Ita neighboring chambers had been added for liii-lr nr. j-cotnmotlutlon. I'p the broad ateps Alleyne went, sun following nis ooyixii guiae. uriui ni me loiuing oag uoors tne tat ter paused, and ushered him Into the main hall of the castle On entering the room the clerk looked round; but. seeing no one, he continued to stand, his cap In his bans, examlnlna with the greatest Interest a chamber which waa so different to any to whlou he was accustomed. Tho days had gone by when a nobleman's ball was but a barn-like, rush-strewn enclosure, tne common lounge and cntlng-room of every iiimute of the castle, 'the crusaders had brought back with them experinces of domestic luxuries, of Damascus carpets and rugs of Aleppo which mail' theni Impatient of the hideous bareness and want of privacy which they found la their ancestral strongholds'. Still war; for, however well niatciled the nations might be in martial exerclsfki there could be no question but that, our neighbors were Infinitely superior to us In the arts of peace. A stream of returning knights, f wounded soldiers, and of unranaomed French noblemen, had been for a qunrter of a rentury continually pouring Into England, every one of whom exerted an Influence In the .direction of greater do mestic refinement, while the shiploads of r rencn mrniture from caiaia, ouen ana , liracket-hiniDS whlcr? stnod at each cor- ' ner of th room, gave a bright and light- 1 -. - - . , , . : - the house and for his honored guest.

"Nay, I know him not.

Alleyne looked at her in astonishment. for her cheek was flushed, her eyes teaming, and her whole pose full of AlsirriiAiima nnd iwnvtatlan. Ypt in an in stant she had changed again to her old expression of merriment leavened with miicniei. "Wilt do what I ask?" said she. "What is It, lady?" "Oh, most ungallant clerk!

"If von have been shut uti in abbey or In ceil ibis day you could not have taught a wayward maiden to abide by the truth. Is It not so? What avail Is the shepherd if he leaves his sheep?'-".

And now there came a time of stir and bustle, of furbishing ot arms and clang of hammer from. all the southland coun tries.

Through-the late au tumn and the early winter every road and country lane resounded with naklr and trumpet, with the neigh of tte-war-horse and the clatter of marching men. From the Wrekin ln the Welsh marches to the COtswolds in the west . of Buster ln the south, - there was no hill-top from which ' - the peasant might not have' seen the bright ' shimmer Of arms, the toss -and flutter of filtime and of pensll. .'from bye-path, rom . woodland clearing' or froih winding moorstde track -these . little rivulets of steel united In the larger roads to form a broader stream, growing ever fuller and lareer as It annroaehed the nearest or most commodious seaport, And there an oay, ana oay niter oay, mere-waa bustle and crowdlna and labor, white the great 'Ships loaded up, and one after the inner spreaa ineir wnite .pinions ana darted off tn the nnan Mn. nmM h. ! slash of cymbls and rolling of drums and usty shouts of those who went and ot hose who waited., from Orwell to the Dart there was no port which did Mot send forth It tlllltf. e.Ol Vav tlh Atnunuo and bunting, as for joyous festival.

But poverty wiia heavy upon him, his land was scant, his eoffers empty and the very castle which covered him the holding of another.1 Bore-was his heart when he saw rare, bowmen and war hardened soearmen turned a way from bis gales, for the lack of the money which might equip and pay them.

It -Into freer and more sunlit channels. Already he had learned to bless his father for that wise provision wihcm had made Dim seek , to know the; world ere he hadT ventured to renounce It s. Jfor it was a different piaoe irwn aim which he had pictured very different from that which he had heard deecrfbed when the master of the novices held forth to W charges upon the ravening wolves who lurked for them bCyond the peaceful folds of Beauiien. There was cruelty in It, doubtless, and lust arfd sin -And sorrow: but were there no virtues to atone, robust positive virtues which did not shrink from temptation, wmcn jicia neir uwn i the rough blasts of " the : work-a-day nrMi -Haw eolorl.as bv contrast ap peared the alnlessrress which came from inability to ain, .the conquest which was attained Ty flying from the enemy!

Abbot Berghersh was a good man. but how was he better than this klndly.-knlght, - who lived as simple life, held as lofty and inflexible an ideal of duty, and did with all his fearless heart whatever cam to his hand to dot in turninr rrom the. -service ot tne one to tnat oi tne oiner, Aiieyue couia not feel that he was .lowering his aims in life. True that this gentle and thought ful nature recoiled from the grim work of war. vet in those nays ot martial orders and militant brotherhoods there was no gulf fixed betwixt the priest and. the soldier. The - roan -or God and tne man of the sword might ', without scandal be united in the same individual. Why then should- he, a ' mere clerk, have scruples when so' fair a chance lay ln his way of carrying out the spirit as well as the letter of hla father's f provision. Much struggle It cost him. anxious, spirit-questionings and ' midnight prayings, with many a doubt and a miBgiving; but the issue was that ere he had been three days In Castle Twynham he -had taken ser vice under Sir Nigel: and had acceptea horse and harness, the same to be paid for out of his share -of the profits of the expedition. Henceforth for seven hours a day he strove in the tilt-yard to, qualify himself to be' so worthy a knisht. Younir. supple and aetive. with all the pent ener gies tronv year or pure ana nearcny liv ing, it was not long before he could man age his horse and his weapon well enough to -earn an annravlnar nnd from erltlnul men-at-arms, or to hold his own against i criasc Hiia rura, nis lenow-serviiors. But were there no other consideration which twayed htm from the cloisters to wards the world? So complex' is the hu man spirit that It can itself scarce dta- cern the deep springs which impel It to action. Yet to Alleyne nad been opened now a side ot life of which he had been a innocent a a child, but one which wa of such deep import that it could not fail to influence him in choosing hU path. A woman, in mqokbh precepts, had been the embodiment s and concentration of what wa dangerous and evil- a, focus whence spread all that wa to be dreaded and avoided. So defiling was ' their presence that a true Cistercian might not raise his eyes to their face or touch- their finger rips under baa Of chruob and fear of deadly in. Yet here, day after day for an hour after nones, and for. an - hour before vespers, he waa found in class; - communion with ' three -maidens, sll young, all tahv ... andj all therefor doubly dangerous i from the monkish standpoint. Yet he found that In their presence tie was conscious of a quick sympathy, . a : pleasant . ease,, aready re sponse to all that was most gentle and best In himself, which tilled his soul With a vague and new-found Joy, And yet the Liody Maude J.orlng was no easy pupil to handle. An .older, and more worio-wise man mtsrnt nave neen pussjod by her varying moods, her 'sud den prejudice, her quick resentment at ail constraint and authority. Did a sub ject interest ner, was there space in it for either romance or Imagination, she would fiy through it with, her; subtle, active mind, leaving her two fellow-student and even her teacher toiling, behind her. On the other hand, were there dull patience needed with steady toll and straw of mem ory, no single fact could by any driving be nxea in ner. minu.

Then, he had but to bring out ine oia romwice oook, . irom tne priory, with be fingered cover of sheepskin and ?:old letter upon a purple, ground, to en Ice her wayward mind back to the path of learning, At times, too.
