"Yes, you bombastical players have
an Mamamatiou of the mind, there is
oto doubt about it.;" --Said the Queen.
"In your opinion, Master Burbage,. 1
da not doubt the author of 'As, You
Like it' is the greatest man alive.
"Yep, your grace'" said the trage-
dian, very simply, "he. is undoubted-
ly that in his pwn 'province, and as,
in my humble judgment his province
is the highest of all, I cannot honest-
ly claim less than that precedence for
him_ But, of course, I speak, your
grace, as but a strutter of .boards. and
a mouther of -bombast. Yet in my
bumble opinion, a man must be what
'he is, and be that only, and. with all
his heart. Nature fashioned me for
the theatre. Therefore, my life i5
consecrated to the theatre, which for
trials the -sum of all things, the high-
est good_ And therefore I say to your
grace than never again will the the-
atre look a upon the like of William
Shakespeare, who to me, and to many
anntheie in this age and in agesyet
to come, must ever remain the bright-
est jewel in Gloriana's crown. And if
it be given to Richard Burbage to
pprcbase with his own life the price-
less things that lie as yet unborn in
the womb of our immortal poet's in-
vention, it will be a great end, for a
poor tragedian."
These singular words were spoken
.plainly and bluntly enough, but with
an air of deference. And they were
absolutely sincere. Whatever- the
Queen's views tnigh•t be concerning
the sanity 'of play -actors, she . was
compelled to recognize this speech,
perhaps more by its manner than by
its matter, as the product of a pow-.
erfuI and well -ordered mind. It was
now the turn of the Queen to ponder
deeply. In spite of ,herself, she could
not, help being affected .by the de-
ir"eanor .of this man.
Nowit almost seemed as if Provi-

dence had set itself to work on the
'poet's behalf, and was determined to
make the most of a favorable tarn,
For that was the moment chosen by
it for the announcement to be made
to the Queen that two moat distil:
guished persons, the Bari of Pem-
broke and Sir Walter 'Raleigh to wit
moat humbly craved audience of her
(trace, ' 4-
"I will see them," said the. Queen,
peremptorily. "Let thein be brought
to me." She then added sourly, to the
Lord Treasurer. "They are upon this
same plaguy business, I'll warrant."
Presently appeared these two dis-
tinguished gentlemen, true ornaments
of their- age. Each was a singular:y
handsome may, net yet in middle life;
each 'had the marked ease of bearing
of those wh.b are very familiar .with
their surroundings. The Queeu re-
ceived them ith the rough humor,
" austic, witty 'and by no means un-'
pleasant, which she inherited from
her father and kept for her inti-
mates.
"Well, my friends," she said, "I'll
wager a tester I .know already what
is 'your good pleasure;"
"tent grace were infinitely :ess in
wisdom were the case otherwise,"
said Pembroke.
".You have come to plead the cause,
I do not doubt, of a,very foolish and
wicked man."
The silence of Pembroke gave as -
'sere to the harsh Words.
"Well, my lord, -I hope you are pre-
pared as is Master Burbage here to
yield your life for him."
''If it were. 'our privilege, your
grace, to do that, we should be great-
er men than we are like to be—with
all respect to Sir Walter here—in the
eyes of posterity."
"A pox, upon posterity! Who cares
a fig for it? The hour in which we
live alone matters to all•of us. But
tell,me, my lord, who d you .Choose
to concern yourself with the matter
of this foolish play -actor? And also
I• would have, you make known your
wiehes,in regard to him."
"Touching }•our grace's first ques-
tion." said Pembroke, "I am honored
by the friendship of one whom I es-
teem. beyond all other men, and for
whose deliverance I will gladly pay
into the treasury as round a sum as
I can Well afford."
The Queen gave a grunt of disgust.
The raddled face wore a very unpleas-
ant. look, -
"Humph, said she. "T'.at seems
little enough, my lord.. Mate.• Bur-
bage• here offers his Iife."
Pembroke turned instantly to the
tragedian, with his most courtier -like
bow.
"Master , Burbage does himself in -
,finite honor," he said. "I offer the
hail of my estate and he offers the
whole of hts; therefore is he twice
the man that I am in the sight ,of
heaven."
"A well-turned speech, my lord,"
said the Queen. She then fixed her
sour smile upon Raleigh. "Tell me,
Sir Walter," she said, "what is the
price you are prepared to pay for this
foolish and wicked Player's ransom?"

Offhand you might say that
there is no connection be-
tween having a hobby and
being successful in your
work.
But all of us need the re -
r lazing effect of a hobby -to
counter -balance. the strain of
hard work.
"Fun is a tonic," says Dr.
G. S. Stevenson, eminent
gntal hygiene authority. "It
refreshes us when we are
tired or bored with our rout
tine tasks — gives us new
strength and enthusiasm for
the business of living."
If you have no particular
bobby, such as fishing, gar-
dening or photography,you
will be well advised to choose
one. ' Or if you indulge in a
hobpy only rarely, y'ou ought
to devote time to it more
regularly.
. As a result, you'll be hap-
pier and probably ,healthier.
And you'll surely do a better
jobl-
P.S. An acquaintance • of
mine made wooden trays as a
hobby. They were so hand-
some that many of his friends
wanted to buy them and soon
he had a flourishing frill -time
business. Such cases are not
uncommon.

The point-blank question•.......w s an-
swered readily- enough.
"The half of my fortune, your
grace," said Raleigh, "-even as my
'Lord Pembroke."
"But Master ' Burbage here," said
the Queen, acidly, "is prepared to pay
the whole of his life." -
""Your grace," said Raleigh with
shining eyes, '"Master Burbage is in-
deed
ndeed a man happy in this valor and
noble in .the scope and compass of
his' nature. Our poet is fortunate in
such a friend, yet such high cln-
stancy is not less than,•his deserts_"
. This frank speech gave pause to
the Queen, When the worst had been
said 01 her, a robust comenon-se.ase
remained the keystone of her charal
ter: These were men she was bound
to respect. And. to hear them .ex-
press such, unqualified opinions in re-
gard to 'his play -actor had .the effect
ih some de ee 01 modifying her at-
titude. Besides, she herself believed
the playwright to be a very remark-
able man. But the combined testi-
mony of such 'men as Pembroke and
Raleigh shade it clear ,that he was
even more remarkable than she knew
him to be.
"My Lord Burleigh," sire said
abruptly, addressing Cecil, "let this
man Shakespeare be brought to us.
We will hearwhat defence he' will
venture of his froward conduct.
The Lord Treasurer quitted the
room at once, in obedience to this
command. Burbage. Pembroke and
Raleigh would have followed him, had
not the Queen ordered them to re-
main where they were.
CHAPTER XlCitVII
There was a long five minutes or)
most uncomfortable silence between jt,
the 'four curiously diverse persons in
.the Queen's morning chamber. Glori=
ana was not disposed to conversation
just now. For one thing she was
deeply offended. And at the best of
times she was a difficult woman, and `-
age and infirmity had made her mor-
ose. Her long Life as a reigning sov-
ereign had-, been neither more or less
than an orgy of despotic power.'And
such a condition does not make for
human amenity, particularly in the
case of one in whom a love of tyran-
ny had become second nature. •
The plain truth 'was, that Gloriaua
was hard and cruel. And these three
men were only too well aware of the
fact. Each of them felt a• grave un-
easiness in regard to the fate • that
was likely to ot•ertalie the man • for
whose life and liberty they were
there to 'plead.
At last, the tapestried door of the
chamber opened to admit the return-
ing Cecil, who gravely ushered id
the culprit.
The playwright entered the room '
with a sere,nity,, an unconcern that
could only have been exhibited in
such. circumstances by . one who
breathes an air which.is not the com-
mon' ether of mankind. The Queen, a
close enough observer 'when it pleas-
d her to .he so.' was impressed •by
tt e almost' maje•Stic simplicity of this
man. His three friends, so jealous
for his reputation, could only rejoice
at it,
"Master Shakespeare," said the 1
Queen, arrogantly, "it had not • been
our intention to hear you in your
own defence. We had meant to leave
the whole matter to those who know
in what sort to deal with. .But' three
very good and true friend; of yours
have come forward to plead your
cause: one, as I understand,• an hon
est man wile follows your ,own call
Ing, has even gone to • the length of
offering his own Iife it exchange for
yours; and my Lori Pembtoke •and•,
Sir Waiter Raleigh each offers the
half of his fortuue .as the price Of
your, ransom."
•
For the moment the self possession
of the poet forsook him, so deeply
was he moved by the,joyalty and the `
se1:-sacrificing devotion of his friends.'
He lowered his head in the manner of
one, completely overcome. The eensi-
''tive lips trembled, the deep-set eyes
filled with tears.
"You have good frieuds, Master
Shakespeare." The tone or the Queen
was so matter-of-fact, that she might
have been merely discussing a plain
affair of business. "And no man can
have friends so true as these and'eo
honorable in reputation without !tee-
ing a character sufficiently worthy to
entitle him to them. Therefore, it is
for this re%ason,- and for none other.
that I' have decided .to hear you ir:
your own behalf, But, pray ,under-
stand; I hold out no prospect of'len-
iency. You have been guilty .of such
wicked, folly that I do not • doubt that
a charge of• high treason will lie
against you." •
By this time, the playwright was
once more completely master .of him-
self. He stood to confront the Queen
simply and without fear,
"Let us hear your defence, Master
Shakespeare, if defence you will Ven-
ture to make."
Your grace," said, the player; in
his gentle voice, "on my own part, I
offer no defence. Freely and fully I
accept all responsibility for any hurt
I have done to justice. But having
done none that I know, I take my
stand upon the innocence of my in-
tentiou."
The light of anger flamed in the
Queen's .eyes,
"Don't use so many words, sirrah."
she said, sharply. "Come to the Is-
sue. I am a' plain woman, and 'I ask ,
fir plain words and few. Fou.. what
rea;,on, I will aslt.you, have you em-
braced these devious ways?".
The player met with calm eyes the
liarsh glance of the Sovereign,
"If it' be treason, your grace,, to
befriend the innocent, he gid,
will gladly pay the penalty* of my
crime,"
The eyes of the Queen sparkled
omiiidusly.
