"Through the window, my friends!"•
he cried to his comrades. "Let us
get, out of this •while we have the
'Chance."'
.—Gervase had now become the lead-
er of the players=—for a time at least.
Already. he had shown that 'faculty of
Quick initiative which. belongs to the
man of action. Trhe,.... others obeyed
him instinctively. His swift decision

leaped with his thought, showed them'
clearly, enough that.. --they - would do

man. He lifted out Parflete'. bodily

shoulders; began, to run with him In
the . direction of the horses' which
were tethered in the lane. It was
well that the wounded actor was very
dight of weight. , •
Meanwhile, the others ' were ren-
dering a pretty 'good account of them-
selves. A general melee' had ensued
in which blows were given freely and
liven as freely again. And in all this
Gerva§e was foremost. Many shrewd -
knocks he delivered with the butt of

with the fiat of lite short sword.
The entail of the players had been
so swift as to take Simon Heriot's
servants by --surprise. And, after all,
the resistance they' had to offer was
• not very stout: Thus :those who had
forced' 'so irregular ' an entry were
' soon in excellent shape for making
-good their escape by way of the win-

The breach in the casement their
entrance had caused was a large one.
And with far less difficulty, than they
had reason to expect were- they able
to withdraw from the room. Also,

It was not a difficult matter for
the players. • to reach their horses
which had been left in the lane
S'sak'espeare, who was a good horse-
man, and who ,.had contrived to be
well militated, had . the wounded man
lifted on to the front of his saddle.
Parflete ,was still, very weak from
loss of Mad and the shock of hie
'wound. He was quite unable to take.
care, of himself. But the playwright
was. full of solicitude for the young
m'an, • Also it was •fortunate that they
both rode light. Shakespeare, al
though well knit of figure, was Hardly
,more than a ten stone man.
The horses were soon untethered
ar d their heads turned in the direc-
tion of oxford. No time was;., lost in
making for the Crown. It was most
1: kbiy there would be -the, devil. to pay
for that evening's tragic work. The
law would certainly be invoked
against them; indeed, already it was
in process of being summoned. As
far as the •players themselves were
concerned, their chief hope was that
none save Gervase Heriot had been
recognized,. If that happened to be
the case, and the young man could
heperdu for a few days, the hue and
cry might, pass, always provided that
no evidence was forthcoming against
the members of the Lord Chamber-
lain's Company.
Not a word was spoken as they
rode to •the Crown. The minds of all
were filled with A sense of vague hor-
ror. The sinister trick they had put
upon a blood -guilty man had turned
to a grim tragedy': Full many a gris-
iy 'scene had these men' enacted in
the process of their calling. Full
many `a scene of pity and terror had
the master mind among them devised,
But never in all their play-acting had
they approached the sheer horror of
the lutman: soul which had • beea tor-
mente d so ruthlessly that- night.
It was in vans they reflected that
even with his callous crime heavy up-
on him they had not meant to do the
man• to death. The world was un-
doubtedly a better place for his quit-
take;
uittante; it was necessary that his soul
should be wrung to its extremity if
an innocent man was to escape the
axe; but' let them urge in extenuation
all that was, possible, and there was•
still not one among them who would
ever forget the dreadful thing with
which he had been face to face that
night. '
As they rode along the moonless
lanes in the stifling silence of a mid-
summer night, the :weird shapes of
the trees far spreading in their heavy
leafage seemed to affront their eyes
'With phantom shapes. The eerie
darkness that lay like a pall, on the
fields and woods and the grim senti-
nel hedgerows oppressed' them almost
beyond ,endurance. •
Never once did they ease the pace
of their horses, not even to listen for.
sounds of pursuit. • 'And to more than
one among that band of conspirators,
perhaps most of all to the mind of
William Shakespeare, it was. a real,
an unspeakable relief when a sudden
bend in the dark road showed, two or
three fugitive lights twinkling a lit-
tle ahead where Oxford lay.
Luckily; it was not a difficult mat-
ter�to get through the city gate. Still
it was necessary to knock up the
porter, who rose from his couch in
no civil mood and asked why virtu-
ous men rode so Iate. But a gold an-
gel that was thrown to him reassur-
ed him wonderfully.
They, oame into the city unmolest-
ed. And thus far there was never a
sign of pursuit. But •they had 'a deep
sense of relief • when, at last, they
turned round by the Cornmai•ket and
alighted under the oil lamp that had
been' kept ..burning for them .before
the door of John Dave'nant''s ,hostelry.
CHAPTER XXVIII
Parflete was put to bed at once,
and late as was the hour a chirurgeon
was sent for. He dre^seg tiie wound.
and inclined to the opinior that the
limb might be'saved.. But the injury
Was so severe that weeks must peas
before the young actor could hope to
appea•r,. gain in the theatre.
Now this -'accident and its conse-
quences had filled Shakespeare with
consternation. On the Thursday foI-
lowing but six days hence, the new
comedy was to he given by the
Queen's command in Richmond Park.
The chief female character, that of
Rosalind, had ,been written and 'de-
signed for this rising young actor. It
was impossible at such sort notice .to
fill his plaee. There was no other
member of the company who came
near Parflete in ,fitness for the part.
The author felt that much depended
en a graceful, slender and attractive
Rosalind. It was with such a per-
sonege ever in bis mind that the play
had been composed for the delecta-
tion of an exacting critic.
The next morning, whin the full
:-extant of_.the- _-.calamity was knoata
Shakespeare bitterly lamented the
lack, of judgment whish had allowed
Parflete to bear It part in the'`peri:ot e
transactions of the night 'biefore, ' it
was vain to retail:e; but the playwright
would now 'have given much to be
able in Wide this grievous accident.
There Was also another, aspect of
the tate. that filled him with concern,
Gervase Heriot had been recognized
by his uncle's steward. The aid of
the law must already have been in
Yoked. If the young tisan, w remained
at the Crown, it was dou'btfitl whether
his present disguise would be a suf
ficient c'oneeaimentfa and if taken he
would 'certainly 'be ebarged with Pie
Murder of his uncle. Not that that
mattered Peetieularle to one alrehdy'
ander sehtettee iiis'geatii, ia '+tit ift `Might
matter very much "to 'these who .had'
associated themselves with the young
man in 'the harebrained enterprise
which had ended so disastrously.
Truly the refieotiops of William
• Shakespeare were not eif ,roseate hue
this morein . Looking on back the .. g
night's adventure, it seemed to he are
grin r'fantastic as a scene out aeons
of his oWn plays, When he had, plan-
bed the weird..scene that had been)
enacted .to the very letter of his in-
vention, he had had a very special
.object in view, yet he 'had not look-
ed to the matter to be pushed to that
extremity. , It was" hardly in human
nature to mourn the occurrence, 4for
the world was undoubtedly well ridgy
of a bad. man. Moreover, the object of
the playwright's audacious stratagem
-had been achieved: He held in his
;hands a paper, which eV'en••-if obtain-
ed by means •so irregular, was en-
ough to clear Gervase Heriot, always'
provided 'that the Queen could 'be
brought to reconsider his case. But
the feeling now uppermost in the
mind of the dramatist,was one of dis-
tress, 'He feared that be had drawn
his companions •into• one of those sin-,
iste.r transactions in which 'no man in
that age,_could afford to be involved.
Two things must be done, and they
must be done speedily. It was im-
perative "for the Lord Chamberlain's
players to leave Oxford' at once. And
an efficient substitute for Parflete
must be found immediately if -.the
comedy was to be given in its integ-
iPity before the Queen on the Thurs-
day folldwing,
In the stress of these urgent mat-
ters', the playwright took counsel of
Richard Burbage. That worthy was
in the 'middle of a substantial if be-
lated breakfast.
"In the first matter, 1 agree with
you," he said;upon hearing what his
colleague had to say. "There will be
security for none of us until we are
out of Oxford and perhaps not even
then. -As to who is to play Rosalind
now that Parflete is sick, heaven help
us but I kpow not."
"Tarbet Might hay the par[," said
theauthor of the. comedy, . "He has a
light womanish voice, but the his•,'egs
do not match and he _has no more
grace than a soused mackerel, As I
see my sweet Rosalind, she should be
all grace and limberness, all delicacy,
tenderness and fantasy,"
"Yes, I grant you it would he ask-
ing too much of Tarbert," said the
tragedian, addressing himself very
seriously to;a quare of ale. "It would
be asking toe rsuch of any ei us ex-
cept Parflete. I am afraid, William
Shakespeare, this is going to be a
sad detriment to your ,play."
, The playwright agreed. -
"With a good Rosalind " he said,
"the play might pass. But' without a
good Rosalind, it is like to be a
plaguy poor thing. I confess I had
Parflete in my mind from the first.
The lad,has not yethad sc'pe for his
talent He is a youth of most excel-
lent 'refined Wit and very neat and
comely besides. I am sure '.f Glor-
iana could but have seen him as Rosa-
lind
osalind to young Warburton's Celia, -she
would have been, very well pleased
with. ,him," '
"Yes, and with the play, top," said
Burbage. "'Tis a • thousand .pities.
For between ourselves, my William,
if, Rosalind fails us, there is mighty
little substance in our new comi'dy to
sit before "'such an appetite as Gior-
iade's-"
''That's true enough," said the play-
wright, gloomily. "And a writer is 'a
fool who leans too heavily on a sin-
gle character. Yet I love that sweet.
saucy queen, but God help us all if
Tarbet plays her."
"Would it. offend Gloriana if you
put o i one of your older pieces;?"
"Yes, accursedly—you know that.
Dick, well enough. It is her whim to
have something entirely' new as a
midsummer masque, and if she is
fobbed off with an old thing, we shall
none of us 'ever he forgiven."
•
"'Measure for Measure' she has
not seen,"
The playwright shook•his head.
"It moves too slow for Gloriar-a."
he said. '.'It is too much the work of
the apprentice. And she'd smell • out
its weakness before we were half
through t1i first act, for that crab-
bed old woman—whom God protect!
--has got the keenest nose in 'r.he
ream in matters dramatical, The
ole harridan is wonderful in .'some•
ways." The tone of the playwright
was more reverent than the worde IL
expressed.
"Well, ,it is a plaguy ill business,
William Shakespeare," said the trage-
dian, again having serious recourse
to his tankard. "A pleguy ill busi-
ness altogether, what with this• affair
of last night;, which is very like to
land us all in the Jug, and young
Parflete's hurt, and now• thio '.offence
to Gloriana: However, it is a, poor
h eart that repines. 'Tis -all• in the
great comedy, my William, 'tis all in
the great comedy. Sit ye down, man,
and cut yourself a piece of this most
excellent pasty, and 1'11 call the
drawer, who shall comfort you with
an honest quart of this right excel-
lent ale."
1Vir.• William Shakespeare, however,
�ad-..l4ttle--sse ;just-now-4or-thas-robuets
philosophy. Mutton pasties and tank-
ards of ale did not appeal to him this
morning. Far more serious matters
were afoot.
At this moment, Anne Feversham
chanced to eater the inn parlor. And
it was almod(f, as if that sweetly for
loi'n,rfigure had been .conjured up by
the instancy of the poet's thoughts
She was still in her boy's dress. Here
was the natural grace, the delicacy
of limb and feature, the pdifect hernd-
•ony of mind and mansion of the true
Rosalind: -

was the ideal of the 'poet's; tatty. He

'<Yes, why not'?" said the playwright
suddenly, ' jvithout a text.
Burbage shoolr`hie °;head, He had a
clear perception ,of the idea that had
kindled the -millet of -his fri nd, but it
was .hardly to'".be aken seliously,
, "Wby not, 1 ask -'you?"' said the
playwright. "I am acture there is a

has a 'quick apprehension, there is. no
reason why she should' not learn the
"fart in a week.•' Besides,"—the poet
began to pace. the• -room in the trees
of the excitement the idea was gen-
erating in Ills beithie-"it would; be a
means of :bringing her "to the Queen's
nritice." '
Richard Burbage,. however, lent no
maintenance to thisxfanitastic idea. He
"knew Anne's tragle=' story. But he
;had a' sufficient \awes of the Queen's"
displeasure to have a grave regard
for the peril of suet a course.
"No; ro," he said, 01I pray you dis-
miss so wild a thought. No one
knows better than yeti the temper of
the Queen. And if she. took this mat-
ter amiss, it would. bode as ill for us
as ir, would for Mistress Feversham,"•
But already the idea • had sunk deep.
The playwright was alive also to its
possibilities from another point of
view. It might prove a means •ef
gaining tlse Queen's sympathies for
Gervase Heriot.
"Dick," he said, "do not forget that
now we hold a proof of Mr, Heriot's
innocence. And should we adduce it
in the right season, as I have good
hope of doing, there iseveryreason
to suppose that Gloriana, who, at
heart is a just woman, will view the
.matter tenderly."
"i beg leave to differ from you
there, William Shakespeare,"•said
Burlrage.' "As far as I can see, there
is precious little reason, to believe
anything of the kind. No one has
yet fathomed the Queen's caprices.
And it ill behooves us of all men, who
exist by'favor of the public, to be
mixed up in treasonable matters. 'Be-
sides, after what 'happened last night
I for one, have no longer a stomach
for them."
The pbet, however, was.not to be
deterred by these counsels of prud-
ence. ` His sympathies were too deep-
ly engaged. He had taken this ill-
starred pair to his heart,° Assured
that Gervase Heriot was the victim
of ..a callous con•spir'acy, he was fully
determined. not to rest now until his
wrong had been redressed.
Like Burbage, however, he was
fully alive to the peril of mixing in
matters that could so readily be con-
strued as treason. And none realized
more clearly than he the danger that
lurked in any affront to the Queen.
Poet as .he was, and 'a dreamer of
dreams, he owed his petition among
his fellows _primarily to the fact that
he was a remarkably able man of af-
fairs'. His was the vision that could
see, the wit that could mold, the ten-
acious power of will that could Com-
pass the design.
Thus in spite of his friend's caution
the playwright went presently in
search of Anne.., Intimately, he -found
her in the inn'garden sitting by the
ede of Gervase Heriot, within'the
shade of its single yew tree. Taken
by surprise, she had barely time to
d?sengage her arms from about the
young man's neck, let alone to check
the tears that were flowing down. hen
cheeks. •
Gervase, it seemed, was ' bent c.c.
going to London that day. Now'"that
be had learned Sir John Feversham's
peril, he felt it infpossible to stay
-longer in „hiding. To do se would
surely cause the Constable's life to
be forfeit.
-The player.dird'his hest to reassure
the young man- Sir John's peril was
undoubtedly great, hut hardly so im'
mediate as all that. As he. had not
yet been.brought to his trial, there
was hardly reason to suppose that -
he would have lost his head six days
hence, when the player would have,
the ear of the Queen,
At the ,same time, Shakespeare
agreed that after the unlucky busi-
ness of the previous night, Oxford
was no place for any one of them.
The sooner they quitted it the better,
since at an-' moment a hue and cry
was likely to he upon them. A play
had to be :given at- two o'clock that
afternoon by the Lord Chamberlain's
servants. But Shakespeare had al-
ready come to the conclusion that as
soon as it was' at an end', the Com-
pany would do well to lose no time
in setting out for London. M1•...
The' player now proposed that Ger-
vase should keep his 'present dis-
guise and return' that evening, with
the others. Particularly anxious not
to lose sight of the young man, and
'leaping else to prevent his doing any-
thing unwise. Shakespeare entreated
him to stay with the Company and
accept the hospitality of his lodging
on the Bankside until such time as
his rase could be brought to the
Queen's ,notice.
Much persuasion was necessary' be-
fore Gervase. could be brought to ac-
cede to this course. But when Shake-
speare gave a solemn promise that
be would return to- London that' eve-
ning,, and that he would take care to'
keep well informed of all that related
to the position of Sir- John Fever -
.sham, the-youung:amen-.g_ataia a,_reluct--
ant consent; He would .Lie in hiding
in the player's lodging in Southwark.,
until a favorable moment Came to
present his case to. the Queen.

I, am sure a stranger driving
through the southern part of Huron
County would say: There must be
an institute in this community by the
general atmosphere of tidiness of- the
home and farm buildings, flowers and.
lawns which have taken on a well -
kept air; homes- looked more cheery;
schools were brightened with paint
and better -kept . playgr-ounds; little
cemeteries were straightened. Some
of the improvements that the Insti-
tute have been responsible for that a
tourist cannot see frr the outside
are music taught in hoots, school
first-aid kits, hot •school lunches,
sponsored 'oratorical contests, built
community halls and libraries, and
many more benefits. Probably one of
the ,greatest benefits that the. Insti-
tutes in general receive is through
the governmental services. As early
as 1903 the Department .started the
summer series. This consisted of lec-
tures or addresses on subjects ef, di
rect interest to homemakers. In• 1913
we had demonstration lecture tours-
es as a definite service to rural home-
makers. This type of service grew in
favor, free instruction in first-aid, food
values and sewing. This was the be-
ginning of our schools of instruction
ity to ;%ring her to the favorable con-
sideration' of the Queen. Would Mis-
tress Feversharn venture upon a task
so delicate and so difficult?
"Yes," said Anne, "I• will; indeed, if
you think mydoing so. may help to
save the :life of Gervase."
She spoke with a candor, a simpfic-•
'ity, a ,decision which. told the play-
wright that here was a firm will and
a high coisrage.' And such' evidence
removed at least half of the risk he
was about to run, One who could
take such a resolve with such a clear
determination was not likely to fail
in the critical hour.
"Mistress," said•• Shakespeare, "you
shall receive instruction at once. And
if you can make yourself reasonably
perfect in the,part by next Thursday,
you shall play before the Queen." ,
(Continued Next Week)
Shakespeare was glad to have ob-
tained this promise from ,Gervase
Heriot, And he then unfolded ' the
design that was in his mind. Having
referred to Parflete's accident and its
•iisa'strous effect upon the new come-
