Its by-way echoed ths 1 ' ringinf church bell and the ahouta ol the happy, motley throng. The i :;- house and ahopa, gay with festival :-: colon, clamored with householder" r greeting!. Cbeera rose from balcony and window aa the great parade of trade guilds and rehgloua aooietiw Y swung into the squar. Good catured orowds elbowed 'each other tor vantage point. Mothers and their children, ap prentice, clerks, friar and nun J wandering students, masterless sol diers, peasant, players - and min v strels; tumbler, cervantis, laun dresses and beggars; all mulled in the throng, their faces bright with excitement. Here was a fiesta, color ful enough to stimulate th most staid burgher! And all: the world - sang with holiday joy. ,. Down the square marched the gold smiths, their emblem bearer carry ing the banner emblasoned with the device of the guild. The master craftsman answered the shouts of . the crowd with a flourishing of his "staff of office. Suddenly the guild halted and stood at respectful at tention, making way for the bril liant entourage entering the square. The Montagues, mighty family of Verona, were joining the celebration. threatening steps nearer. "Do you bite your thumb at s, air?" h demanded. ' ' Gregory turned Briefly' to Samp son.

The few remaining idlers about the ca thedral scattered like frightened sheep, and their shouts of warnings ' brought the henchmen - of both houses into ths fray. Benvolio, his sword In hand, burst through the doors of the cathedral. "Part, fools!" he commanded as he rushed into the square. "Put up your weapons," Hard on his heels ran Tybalt "Turn, Benvolio," he cried, "and look upon thy death." tienvono wneeiea snarpiy. "put up thy sword, Tybalt I do but keep the peace."

House Montague strode proudly past. Ths 'old Lord and Lady were accompanied by Benvolio, their nephew, and were followed by their retinue of henchmen, impressively garbed. ; . A sudben murmur stirred the crowds. Wero not those henchmen armed? Tho murmur rose uneasily. Was net Lord Llontague's page carrying hia master's sword? Frightened eyes found the rapier at Benvolto's belt. Arm 3. Sword. Bapier. Were these the fiesta sym bol th Motagues chose? - Th cheers! died down and smiles grew fixed and lust erless. The Houss of Montague continued .on it way, mounted the cathedral 1 steps and stcod ki waiting. Invol untarily their rank closed tip and their hands reached to sword hilt. . As one man they stared toward the equally, brllUtst entourage heading for the c;u&ra. - Down the rteep side street lead ing to the cathedral marched the House of Capulet deadly enemies of mil Montagues. The Lord and Lady of this second gnat family of Verona were followed by their nephew Tybalt, who, like Benvclio, lead their retainers. , A quick glonco confirmed the worst fears of the crowd. The Ca pulets, tqo, were armed! And even, as ths people edged toward safety they were held fascinated a the warring families came face to face As if by signal Tybalt and Ben volio broke from the ranks to meet each other with laplerj drawn. The square lay hushed in fright .The crowds knew well the " outcome! This was war to tho death, not only for Capulet and Montague but also for everyone within t distance - of their swords. And even as Tybalt and Benvolio stood en garde, the strain of the "Te Deum" sounded from out the church. Slowly the doors opened. The rapiers were sheathed. The first note of the church service had put an end to the duel before the swords had crossed. But. the people, terror still clutch ing their hearts ran to their homes and shops, as the Capulets and Montagues, black hatred in their : faces, entered tho great cathedral. Now the square was filled with the henchmen of both houses who lounged and swaggered about wait . ing for their masters to finish their . devotions.

"You ar beasts! On pain of torture throw your mis tem pered weapons to the ground."' t Bleeding faces and battered head wer lifted In surprise. The fight ing ceased a abruptly as it had begun. - j t The prince glowered from astride his horse. "Three Civil brawls," hi cried, bred of an airy word bv Canulet and Montague have three times dis- vuroeu tno quiet or our streets." His eyes wandered over the square littered with torn 'Banners. His glance fastened sadly on townsfolk, unfortunately caught In the chaos, their clothes covered with blocd and sweat. It hung for a moment on a beggar trampled by his soldier's horsc3. , It grew stern aa ho viewed ths broken doors and ruined shops lining tha square. At last he turned to the Lords. t ,. ; "If ever you disturb our streets again," he said solemnly, "your lives shall , pay the forfeit cf the peace! You, Capulet, shall go along with me. And you, Montague, shall come this afternoon to know our further, pleasure," ' Ho raised his voice to the others. For the time, all the rest denart away. Remember! On pain of death, all men shall depart" Silently the depleted ranks closed hohind their lords. Thay would obey roe prince s eatct Because tncy naa no other choice: but their set faces and hard eyes showed that no edict " could erase their hatred. .- As Lord Caoutet. followed In the wako of the Prince his mind turned ' from the royal displeasure to other mailers. , , . -, - "Tls good," hs'said to himself, "we had not our daughter , Juliet with us this day.". , . , Lord Montague headed down the street with Benvolio.
