Still, the total absence of news from Richmond was very ominous. ,'But even if the Queen had not ap- proved the new -comedy, that was not warrant sufficient toassume, as more than one among that Mannerly made bold to maintain, that. the new com- edy was not worthy of her approval.

PHONE 9Q r 22, .Hensall. "A little Iearning, my friends, to temper the 'heat of his. mind. A lit- tle ittle of the classic severity of Athens to mellow the over -sharpness . of .his wit, to trim and clip 'the excess of his redpnd_aney, to comt.tne the natur-' al incontinence of bis humors." But alie word's of Ben were drown- est in 'good-natured_ laughter. AU knew. the foiblea of this heavy and slow- moving man. He was a surly dog fond of his 'growl. He must ever 'run contrary to received opinion. He had an, exaggerated regard for the classic tongues. But there was no stouter fellow, rio stauneher friend, and there was not a grain of smallness in his nature. '• "Sit 'down, you dog,." said, the time- worn warrior at the:"table-head,• "and bury your mask in `a flagon. Iii, drawer, a cup of, Museadel for, Master Jonson. Ben,..,,igay son, with all your learning, nye, and with all your gen- ius?", too,you will never be quite titan enough to don the mantle of William the Peerless." "Did I ever. say I would" said Ben roughly. "Is' there' any man alive that ever heard me speak so windily?, There is no man living or dead who is the peer of our incomparable,'Wil- liam. and I care not who hears me say it." The great rude fellow brought down his bricklayer's, fist .with such. a re- sounding thud upon the table that the dishes rattled and the wine slopped over in a dozenscups. But this rough diamond, who as yet did but stand at the ,threshold of renown, was •freely forgiven all the inconveniences he caused for_ the sake of that honest enthusiasmwhereby he' did himself honor in the eyes of all. The motley crew who. sat night af- ter night at that table were without' ' exception men of parts and under- standing.. Whether their ruffles were. ink-stalined, whether their hands were lily-white, • whether they wore silk and •fine linen or plain bombazine, whether they lived by the aword or ty the pen, or wvhether they •,hod nd need• to live by either, there was no appeal- from their judgments upon poetry and the drama, and posterity has' not found -occasion to reverse their Verdicts. It was' the great' age indeed, These were men of rare men- tal power, of large and liberal -inter- course They knew the highest when they Met it and knew how to pay !t 'homage. ' For example this rude fellow Ben Jonso.n,• this clumsy, loud voiced, opinionative Scotsman, a • pock -mark- ed;. ugly creature who had lived rough and who had the brand of a felon on his thumb Was the coming man. He would go far, •said the quidnuncs. He was heavy metal 'of the royal cur- rency; one who under Providence was destined to be second only to Will himself. ' Thus men cast in a gentler mold rr.ade room for him. He was no fav- orite, to be sure. His manners were too rude. his opinions too,.unqualified. But the sacred fire was fn his veins. And those who were wont to dispute precedence with persons of far more account in the eyes of the world were proud to sit at the feet of Ben. The long July evening was closing in. The candles had been brought and the shutters drawn in the long upper chamber. And that which hith- erto had been hardly more than a thrill of half -expectant -surmise. was new become a 'slow agony• of sus- pense. It was incredible that news had not come from Richmond. The play must have been over by six o'clock. The- verdict of Gloriana and her court must 'have been delivered Iong ago. Was it possible that the miracle •of the- age- h -act -`t i'e'teil his defeat? efeat? Well, and if he had? said the ,gray- beard at the end of: the table. Gl•or- iana 'anti her Court were not infal- ,ib.e • Will should read his comedy to his peers 'that night„ as he ha • done on many occasions previously. •T heirs should be the 'verdict, for they alone, with..f l "iesp�ects to Groriana, were qualified 'to give it. • - The brave ,words from' the table - head were received with loud p(5rov- al from a 'score of stalwarts ho by now had sgathered round the board. Such words were well and wisely spoken. But. suddenly there ell Lammas, A fams• and admired figure came .quietly, almost stealthil , into the room.- carded It was that of a b rawn- facgc man of forty, trani and soldier- ly idier- ly of look, secure and' auth- oritstive of bearing. was rich and fine; his air sour tier, urbane, polished, •calmzzical. There was the coxco out- ward man, 'but not a it in the fal'-looking, eagle -glancing eyes. This was a great •fl'gure,'.even• in that company, which measun not' by his ,outward• asse u•t by his deeds. • d a w .w f y , b His dress tbat01a , qui mb in t•he trace of red a ma • mblance b "Arih ll k d th ed t f 11 h' at a respectful dis- ,•faced courtier Was no less than he - seemed utterly overcome. Something untoward had most certainly happen- ed. There was' more ' than a mere mgtter of a play's failure or success in the,. dismay of that strong face which shone a bleak gray in. the ung certain_ light of the room. ' "Why, what's -the matter? Tell • for the love of God!" • But • Raleigh shook his head hap- lessly. He who knew not the mean- ing of fear in the presence of a bod- ily peril, he whose resolution' never failed in great orises,- was wholly un- able to tell, the news he bore.' "Is it Will?" A. sense of foreboding had descended. suddenly upon all, "Tell us, I pray you." The eagerly anxious -voices: sank in • the oddest •manner. "Has aught • happened to Will Shakespeare?" Raleigh did not answer. But that face so eloquent of power. and high capacity seemed, to grow a little bleaker. And then twenty pairs of eyes that were turned almost fleree- ly upon it saw that a rush of sudden• tears was shining there. The man at the head of the tablet: laid a hand •to his hear His exclamation went echoing through the silence of the long room. Again the solemn bush' descended. That which Walter Raleigh had' not courage .to. tail, not one of these men could muster the courage to ask. What could have happened? Those "were perilous times indeed; times in which the 'quietest, most law-abiding citizenq took his life in his hand when be walked dowu_the street. The trag- edy of poor Kit Marlowe *as in ev- ery Mind Had Will Shakespeare, the incomparable poet and charming per. sonality, met the assassin's knife by chance or by design? • The face of Raleigh portended not less' than that. Yet not one of these men could sum- mon enough .resolution to set his doubts at rest. The silence was pain- ful. A fain could have been beard to ••fall in the rocmm ' . Suddenly there, came- sounds of ;heavy feet stumbling, blundering • up the wooden, stairs. The door • was flung open. , A thick, squat, gnarled - looking fellow reeled in like a man under the influence of wine.• His face 'shone livid in the light of the can- dles. It was Burbage the tragedian. : ' "Speak, man!.. Tell ' the news!" came the hoarse demand 'of a dozen voices. "Shakespeare," ' the voice of the. "tragedian could hardly be heard. "He is arrested by the Queen's order.. They say -they say fie will lose his head." CHAPTER XXXV Grief, consternation, horror surged through that room. For the moment, the shock of the announcement was more than they could .bears It was as If each man present had been stun- ned by a blow. But the calm wase for the moment only. In. the next came a -babel of tongues framing a score of ihrcoherent questions. Richard Burbage replied to none of these. He stood an instant swaying,' his ashen face" framed in the eerie. glow of the candles, And then with- out `a further word he 'turned and passed' like a ghost through the door' of the room with the same abruptness with which he had entered it, He went headlong, stumbling and creak- ing, down the ricketty stairs of the old tavern and out into the July eve-. ning, In the street, hard by'the sign- board, under the shadow of the tav- ern wall, two men lay in wait for the tragedian. One ofd these was his fel.- low -player, William Kemp; the other John Heming the manager of the Globe Theatre. These also'were men of strong feelings, but they had them under control, Whereas Richard Bur- bage who might almost be said, to worship the ground on which the poet trod, had been carried completely away by this direst of tragedies, which he knew not how •to face. • As became good men, true friends, staunch comrades, Kemp, and, Hem- ing. were fully determined not.' to, let Burbage pass out of their sight dur- ing the remainder of that night. But they musrt not show themselves in his. Already he had resented their presence' fiercely, had cursed them when they had sought to console him and had so far fallen from that poise of mind and temper which at ordin-• ary times made him a most agreeable companion, as to threaten to do them violence, "if they would not have the goodness to keep themselved• to' theM- selves and stand out of his light." Thus William,Ke•mp'and John Hem- ing remained well in, the shadow of the tavern wall'. But'when their dis- tracted friend came out of the inn, perhaps a little sooner than they had expected him to do so, they proceed - now we s' a now, erre e o ow tm man at the tablehead, "Here is Wat. tanc 'Without betraying their own Newly from Richmond, else I'll never 'Presence, they contrived to keep hipm drink sack %gain out of. a bombard well in view. +Y'''. until I attain the ageof a hundred Certainly there was very good and twenty." "Yes, Martin, newly from Richmond as you say," came the courtier'a lisp, "Newly, from Richmond, newly • from Richmond'." The.newcoiner sank down in a man- ner of extreme weariness in a vacant chair. He sighed heavily. "A cup of the muscadel for Sir Walter," said the man at the table - head. "And lively, about it, boy, No reed to tell us 'what• has' happened, Wat. But we did not think it was so hsd as all this, •'We did not thir: it possible that Wi:1 could fail. Is it - tell me, Wat-that Glorihna has s-v:1f some affrorit in the new piece?

The speaker had good reason to ask the question. Raleigh -the brown • ground for such solicitude. The tra- gedian swayed about from side to side like a ship in a gale, now up'one street, now . down another. 'And all these dark purlieus of the city swarmed with. 'peril's at that hour of the night. Moreover,' the ostensible condition of this pedestrian, th,e vagaries. of whose gait certainly re- sembled those of a man far gone in liquor, seemed to cry aloud, for the attentions of the vigitant cutpurse o1 the lurking footpad. With unseeing eyes, with unstable limbs, with mind insensible of its sur- rotindings, with 'steps not knowing whither they were bent, the tragedian walked the byways of the 'city dur- ing' the whole of that night. Like the fate -riven figures in those soul - shaking tragedies in, whose delinea- tion he excelled, all men, he' was. at the mercy of an anguish of mind that was tearing :him ,in pieces. !' '1~hls w, s a large .and. OW attire. And bitterly It was teat ;because It had pot been mere vigilant. Richard Burbage felt biniself unwarttiTt of the Seared .flinty imposed upon him by hip traternal » titnacy with�,:the. •poet.. -He had' an 14044:149 Human n twte wVeh 01,441,ed. la• ..to undelra'ta'i d a certafn weaknessthat frust Jnevnab- 1y attend, aueh transcendent •powers as those' of Williaint Sbakes:pearb, And'titis underst'antling seemed to lay the charge upon him of watching ov- er this man Vise. Was not' .ala other men, • To this trust Herbage felt he had not been true. yet it was mot., easy to know -by whet; means he could have saved bis fiend from his ter- rible pass, Time and again he had besought him to be prudent, and his counsels had been urged with intend'e conviction. None realized more clear- ly than Burbage that it was indeed a perilous hour for any' man to be con- cerned with treason. The Queen's temper was implacable. She who had done to death a kinswoman and a queen because her, own personal 'sale= ty was held to be•.remotely threaten- ed was not likely to know the mean- ing of pity in the ease of a, humble Play --actor who had mingled so open- ly in' the cause of a condemned trai- tor. Burbage mourned the ' madness of hie friend. Pacing the dark streets of the city during the watches of the night in a state of'mind bordering up- on frenzy, be was a' men self -torment- ed. Yet. after all; ,he was in no wise to blame. No grace of bis', no ' vigi- lance, indeed, no human foresight could have averted tilis tragic issue. The two comrades of the tragedian kept the swaying ,figure ever in view. Wherever it went that night they fol- lowed it. Hour after hour Burbage wandered purposeless about the city. His grief,'.silent and contained though it Was, was a thing dreadful to be- hold. - - Treated -Ts midnight he came to the siuer:'A new fear then gripped the hearts of his comrades. Very stealth- ily they crept up closer behind him. What more likely than that one in such a frame of mind should have re- course to those dark waters which have done so much to ease the mis- ery of the world? Bareheaded, un- steady of gait, wild of mien, the tra- glSdian walked hour by hour upon the very brink of death. And all that time his two friend's watched and waited yet dared not show them- selves. The night was 'oppressively hot. The summer air was charged :with pent-up forces, and while it was 'still dark these sought opportunity 'to wreak themselves upon, the thirsting earth. The moon and starewere hid; all the heavens' were a dense mass of pitch ;• presently •came lightning and peal upon peal of thunder. It was the prelude to a terrific storm and the man byy the verge of the riverwel- comed it- with every ober .of his be- ing. ' The words of Lear were yet unbdrn. But in such a night and, tempest of the soul was to *alk that' figure which this unhappy man was one day to" teach the ages to pity. His head was bare and unbentto the storm;' a hurricane lashed the upturned face; he was drenched to the skin; and yet this rage of 'heaven., was as nought t to the tumult in the Mind of one poor tragedian. And like their friend, wholly unde- fended from this wild• fury of the ele- ments; William Kemp and John Hem- ing stood cowering a little way off in the 'lee of a wall. All the long night through, in . Spite of darkness and tempest, they never left him. And when at last came the dawn, and; With tt one abatement 'Of the frenzy of the heavens, they stood °with, him' still by the bank of tale ,rim, river. l?reuehed to the skin, and: utterly weary :and.

'Burbage suddenly started ta walk briskly along the river bank in the direction of Rfchmeed. - Hungry; : e3531 aiistsd, profoundly misa, erable, his tw•o comrades continued to - follow him. All night had t!fey been .waiting for some such manifestation of design, for this was a man of prow erful and resolute character. It was, now more imperative ' than ever that this vigilanceshould not relax. They knew. not what secret spring, of 'ac tion had moved, him. And, in his pres- ent mood there was nothing of which he was ,not capable. • Ir On and on he walked, briskly now and with an appearance of ever -in creasing resolve, Through fair ,mead - own and riverside ga'rd'ens and ham- lets they ,passed.. By ten o'clock, they had left the river below them and were ascending the steep 'and glor- iously wooded• slopes of. Richmond Hill. • Every fiber of the tragedian's being seemed now in the thrall of his new purpose. Not once did he tarry dr look back. All unaware that he was being so closely followed, he turned. at the- top of the hill into Richmond Park. ,. It was a morning such as makes of earth a paradise. The air was cool, fragrant, delicious after the great storm of the night. Long shafts of gold light pierced• the branches of- the trees; the wet bracken shone with crystals; the sky was one wide un- broken: promise of a gorgeous : noo ; the deer ,flitted in and out of tte clean -washed spaces; between low - hanging canopies of leaves. Earth, was repoicing this' m8rning of July in, the •solace and refreshment 'that the night had brought to her. All was well with her now.' Her fainting energies :had been renewed, Andall Was now well with one am'her 'children, ,one poor and frail trage- dian. . The squat, rather ungainly •figure, striding wide as though the•boards of the .playhouse were' still' its theatre; neither passed 'tor faltered in 'its course. Bared head upflung, a cur- ious rigidity in the face, there was high purpose in every movement now, Richard' Burbage sought •the .brokd• path that led. to the Queen's palace. And no sooner had he. come to it, than he greatly increased the pace at 'which he walked. Indeed, as. the row of imposing' turrets of the royal' demesne came into view .at a turn in the road, he almost broke into a run. W1'lliam Kemp and John Herring, so exhausted by now' that they could scarcely drag one foot after the oth- er•,• suddenly 'awoke with a kind • of be- wildered dismay to --the' fact that the Queen's palace was, beyond a doubt, the goal of their quarry. Breathless- ly, they followed ever in his wake, but in the last hundred yards or so, he had gained upon . them consider- ably.
