CHAPTER XXKVI.
The Queen was taking counsel al„
ready with the Lard Treasurer, Cecil,
her all -wise and all-powerful -minister.
This morning, she was in a harsh and
vengeful mood', Many were the piote
she had known in the course of a
troubled . life against the security of
that person for whose well-being she
had so great a reverence. And each
one. as, it occurred, had the effect of
hardening that naturally ruth'•ess
temper to which, like others • of. her
,race, she was never, afraid to give
free play.
The young man, ,Gervase Heriot,
had been proved guilty upon that
, which was held, to be good and suf-
ficient evidence, of a plot against her
life, He had been condemned to
death' by the Court of Star Chamber
sitting .in camera. But by the wan-
ton and wicked connivance of the
young daughter of, Sir John Fever-
sham, in whose custody he was held
in. Nottingham Castle against the.
time of his execution, Heriot had been
able to ,break out of his prison. Sub-
sequently-;' thi;' condemned man, in the
company of this wicked girl„ had.
wandered about the Country many
weeks, finally falling if2 with one
'Shalcespeare", an actin° and, writer for
the theatre, who; well knowing they
were ' proscribed, had actively be,
friended them. ,Moreover, with unfor-
givable effrontery, this play -actor had
chosen to make public confession of
his .guilt at a singularly ill -chosen
time.
The Queen was not in a mood to
hear•. of leniency in this, heinous, mat-
ter. But Cecil, tbp,.,,Lord Treasurer,
was a very' wise man, deliberate in
speech, tardy in' judgment. And the•
view he held' was ',at direct variance
with 'that df his august mistress.
The Lord Treasurer :rad , already
brought' the •cd'ol and detached mind
of a statesman to bear upon a Most
difficult problem. Theactors in this•
unappy drama were nothing to hire
in `fhems'lves. Herlo was a man of
family, with, a considerable estate in
the west of England;` the girl was
the -daughter of Sir John Feversham,
a man of good reputation, who had
rendered- thirty' years of honest ser-
vice to the Queen., The man Shake-
speare was by profession an actor,
and of him there was, nothing more to
be said. Indeed: as far as the Lord
Treasurer was concerned, there was
nothing more to be said of any of the
persons of the drama. As mere pri-
vate individuals, they had not the
1eact interest for him; the merits of
their cause concerned him but little,
yet public expediency, that and only
that, was a thing of paramount im-
portance in his eyes. • And when all
was said, this was certainly a plaguy
ill matter, and it had given my lord
a"-iiery anxious night.
Itseemed that Pembroke,. a man
whom Cecil regarded. as a ,person of
weight,. had expressed a very ' drefin.ita
opinion in regard to the case." Ac:
cording•to Pembroke, the man Shake-
speare was widely known and es-
teemed not in London -merely, butal
so throughout the length and breath
of the kingdom. He had behaved with
the gravest unwisdom, but Pembroke
held staunchly to the,yiew that his
action: was not of 'a character . to in-
cur the 'inclemency of the law. More-
over; the play -actor had the excuse
that he sought an occasion to estab-
',t.h the innocence of a deeply wrong-,
ed man.. •
Yet here was a very sore point
with the statesmanlike soul of the
Lord Treasurer. Heriot had been
condemned by the Court of Star
Chamber. and Cecil -had not the least
desire that the case should be re-
heard. At the best, the whole affair
constituted one of those unsavory
Li ;inesses whieh it is ever the aim
of true statecraft to kep out of the
light of day. To this point of view,
however, Pembroke had made the
cogent rejoinder that since the whole
story had been given to, the world, it
was no longer possible to•'.reat it as.
a mystery.
Doubtless it was this fact which
rendered Shakespeare's action unpar-
donable in the sight of the Queen,
She,• too, had a faculty of statesman-
ship, and she was well able to ap-
preciate the point involved; but also
she had. a woman's power of illogi-
ral resentment, and in' her view not
the least part of the player's crime
was the inconl'enience it .caused,
Cecil, having duly taken all the
circumstances into account, was . al-
ready strongly An favor of mercy, It
would be wise, in his view, to•grant
a pardon to the player. The pressure

A WHOLE DAY'S SIGHT-SEEING
WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE'
A. M. POWELL, Prosidanl
of public .opinion, was likely to be
great, and in the opinion of Cecfl that
was. a cardinal matter. But the Qileen
was obdurate. She was incensed' by
the audacity of the man. Great care
had been used to keep the whole of
this ugly business a close secret, but
all precaution had, been rendered nug-
atory by this man's amazing indiscre-
tion in . regard• to things that did not
well bear the light of day.
"My lord," said the Qtieen, with an
air of finality, "what" I have said, I
have said. This man shall make'pay-
ment for his wicked folly."
"Be it so, 'e•our grace," said the
minister, with a sad shake of • the
_head.
He ksxew how vain it was to per-
sist when once the Queen had made
up her mind. She had all a Tudor's
deepotism. The statesman shrugged
his shoulders disconsolately. The man
Shakespeare had certainly ,behaved'
like a stark fool, and richly merited
any fate that could overtake him, for
my Lords Treasurer's was that prac-
tical order of mind.' that hates •a fool
quite as much as it hates a rogue.
.The one was intelligible, but the oth-
er was an affront to the human race.
Still, the man Shakespeare had many
highly placed friends. And if Cecil
himself had, little use for the older
of things the man represented, he re-
cognized, with that large grasp of
mind in which none of his age ex-
celled him, that this play -actor stoo'
for human amenity. And that in it-
self was a thing that even the most
cynical of statesmen cannot afford to
negleet. - '
The Lord Treasurer was about` to
withdraw from the Queen's, presence,
when one of her gentlemen came in-
to the room.
"Madam," he said, "under your good
pleasure, one .Richard Berbage,' a
tragedian, would speak with you up-
on a, matter of great urgency."
"A pox take him," said •the Queen,
'roughly. "A pox take all comedians
and all tragedians too. I would that .
I had never set eyes on any of the
tribe. Send the rogue about his busi-
nese with a .flea in his ear, Or. stay
—send, him to us and we will hear
what he' has' to say. And God help
the rogue, .if he speaks amiss.
The gentleman withdrew. A min-
ute afterwards he ushered into, the
room with ,great ceremony., one Rich-
ard Burhage, a tragedian. •
It. happens continually, in the pro-
cess of nature, that a man's calling is
declared in his" personality. The sol-
dier, the clergyman, the lawyer and
the horse -dealer are cases in. point.
But no man could have .borne clearer
evidence of the unhappy estate. to
which, it had pleased Providence tp
call •him than "Richard Burbage, the
tragedian. His gaunt face was hag-
gard, his bloodshot eyes were wild,
his somber dress was muddy and in
sad disorder.
"Well, my man. what is your plea-
sure?"; said the Queen sourly enough,
as soon as this odd figure appeared
before her,
The ' tragedian showed no undue
haste to reply to the question. There
was a slow force in him for which the
Queen and Cecil were not prepared.
And when be dpoke, it was with the
calm precision of one secure•of soul,
"Your grace," said the tragedian,
and' for all his wild eyes he looked
steadily at the Queen, "it is my de-
sire to offer my 'life for the life of
William 'Shakespeare."
The mood of the Queen was by no
means -agreeable. Nevertheless, these
simple and .considered 'words struck
home to the heart of the wo-
man. They had no savor of vain-
glory. They were the fruit of a rare
spirit, and she who was accustomed
to ?udge 'men was quick, almost in
her own despite, to recognize the
source from which they sprang..
"Tell me why you offer it, Master
Burbhge," said the Queen. "Tele -me
why life has so little savor for you,
"that you would yield it for that of a
rival. actor?"
"I offer my' life. youlr grace, for
that of one so fat beyond myself that
although r enjoy my days as much as
any man alive, there can •be no higher
privilege than _to give them for such
a' one as he, And the day *ill sure-
ly come when the whole world will
rise up and call trip blessed."
These were wild words for prosaic
ears. There was almost a core of
madness in them, yet 'it was • impos-
sible to doubt the grim sincerity of
this fanatic:
The Queen looked at the Lord
Treasurer, and the Lord Treasurer.
looked at the Queen. One fact at
once shone clear in the minds of
both. It was no ordinary man .who
offered his Life itself on the altar of
friendship. -
"The truth is," •said the Queen at
last, "you mad players, who spend
your days in mouthing bombast and
in tearing passions to tatters, get a
kind of swelling in your brains. The
truth is, Master Burbage, you over -
color all the facts of life. Your
speech in consequence is high-flown,
your .behavior nonsensical, your ap-
pearance ridiculous."
"It may be so, your grace." The
player spoke. slowly and calmly, and
yet without any great Show of hum-
ility. ',But I would entreat your
grace not to overlook the fact that
Richard BBurbage would pay away his
life for the boon he craves,"
"Yes; sirrah, I^ appreciate tl'i'at,''•
said the lue'en. "And to me, Master
Burbage, I confess it makes you a
subject: for confinement in a. mad-
house. How say you; my lord?"
But my lord was thinking - so deep-
ly that he fgyiled to answer the ques-
tion of his august mistress. It was
the business of bis life to estimate
mon and things; and fpr perhaps the
first time in his. eareen, he was face
to face with men and things with
which his recondite knowledge and
his remarkable faculty seemed pow-
erlese to deai1,

It is suggested at Ottawa that edu-
cational courses should include in-
struction in all -•.the sound, principles
of hygiene, not overlooking the sci-
ence of nutrition, about which so
many adults of this generation know
.little. Health authorities believe that
our future generations will be health-
ier and' happier if children are given
basic instruction in living habits as
well as in the many subjects now
taught. •
Food and Study
Well-fed young people are more re-
sistant to infectious diseases and can
withstand all ports of strains and
stresses better than those who are
undernourished. This has been prov-
en by careful scientific study.. Aceord-
ingly, health authorities urge greater
attention to the diet of school chil-
dren and adolescents. ,
...Particularly when away from those
home influenees which ensure ade-
quate feeding, young people should
give. more than casual thought to
their intake of nourishment, say the
specialists. And it is also a good idea
for the studerit to include books on
proper habits, such as the science of
nutrition, in his leisure -time reading.
Squints `Significant
Medical authorities declare that
squinting which develops in infancy,
Should be investigated and treated.
No matter .how young a child is, he
requires special medical attention for
a squint.
V left too tong, the ,vision of the
squinting eye may, be.lost through dis-
use. This is very likely to occur if
nothing, is done ..before the child
reaches the age of five on six years.
Safety Ensured
Since many young people, at this
time of year, will be entering on, a
round of strenuous 'sports and recrea-
tional • programs which will tax their
capacities ..tp.. the 'utmost, heath ex-
perts urge. care to ensure safe's`, .It
is essential that all entering en activ-
ities involving exertion know before-
. hand,how much they, can stand.
The' only way to ensure safety in
sports is to be certified fit to play
