Mr. Trenchard's Counterstroke. , however much it might sat- isfy Mr. Wilding to have Ruth's word for it that so long as he left her in peace neither he nor the cause had any betrayal to fear from her, Mr. Tranchard was of a very different mind. iie fumed and swore and worked himself into & very passion. “Zoons, man!” he cried, “it would mean utter ruin to vyou If that letter reached Whitehall.” “I realize it, but my mind is easy. T have her promise.” A woman's promise!” snorted Trenchard, and proceeded with great circumstance of expletives to damn “everything that daggled a petticoat.” are idle,” Wilding as ‘What she says she will her brother?” quoth Trench. Have you bethought you of that canary-bird? He'll know ihe letter's whereabouts. He has cause to fear you more than ever now. Are you sure he'll not be making use of it to lay you by the heels?" Mr. Wilding smiled upon the fury provoked by Trenchard’s concern and love for him. “She has promised,” he said with an insistent faith that was, fuel to Trenchard's anger, “and I can depend upon her word.” <o cannot I,” snapped his friend. ‘The thing that plagues me most, id Wilding, ignoring the remark, s that we are kept in ignorance of the letter's contents at a_time when we most long for news. Not a doubt but it would have enabled us to set our minds uat ease on the score of ese foolish rumors. Aye—or else confirmed them,” said pessimistic _Trenchard.

As Westmacott was passing up the High street a black shadow fell athwart the light that streamed from the door of the Bell Inn, and out through the doorway lurched Mr Trenchard a thought unsteadily to hurtle so violently against Richard that he broke the long stem of the | clay pipe he was carrying. Now, | Richard was not to know that Mr. Trenchard—having informed himself | of Mr. Westmacott's evening habits— | had been waiting for the past half hour in that doorway hoping that Mr. Westmacott would not depart this evening from his usval custom. An- | other thing that Mr. Westmacott was | not to know-—considering his youth— was the singular histrionic ability which this old rake had displayed in | those younger days of his when he had been a player, and the further circumstance that he had excelled in those parts in which cbriety was to be counterfeited. Indeed, we have | on the word of no less an authority on theatrical matters than Mr. Pepys | that Mr. Nicholas Trenchard's appear- ance as Pistol in “Henry IV" in the year of the blessed restoration was the talk alike of town and court Mr. Trenchard steadied himself from the impact, and, swearing & und and awful Eiizabethan oath, cused thoe other of being drunk. then struck an attitude to demand with truculence, “Would ye take the wall o' me, sir?” Richard hastened to make himeelf known to this turbulent roysterer, who straightway forgot his grievance 1 take Westmacott affectionately by | the hand and overwhelm him witk| apologies.

At first it was his im- | pulse to excuse himself, as possibly | Blake him; but ¢ ght be already waiting for | second thoughts, remem- | Wild- | ing's most intimate famulu: it oc- | curred ta him that by a little crafty | qu ioning he might succeed in | emoking Mr. Wilding’s intentions in | the matter of that letter—for from} his sister he had failed to get satis- | faction. | So he permitted himself to be led | which stood vacant. There were at | the time & dozen Euests or so in the | common room. Trenchard bawled for ine and brandy, and for all that he | babbled in an irresponsible, foolish manner of all things that were of no matter, yet not the most adroit of pumping could elicit from him any such information as Richard sought. Perforce young Westmacott must remain, plying him witld more and more drink—and being plied in his turn—to the end that he might not waste the occasion. An_ hour later found Richard much the worse for wear, and Trenchard certainly no_better.' Richard forgot his purpose, forgot that Blake waited for him at the Saracen’s Head. And now Trenchard seemed to be pulling himself together. “I want to talk to you, Richard,” said he, and although thick, there was in his voice a certain impressive quality that had been absent hith- erto, ‘*S a rumor current.” He low- ered his voice to a whisper almost, and leaning across took his compan- fon by the arm. He hiccoughed noisily, then began again. “’S a rumor current, sweetheart, that you're dis- affect sd.” Richard started, and his mind flapped and struggled like a trapped bird to escape the meshes of the wine, to the end that he might convincingly defend himseif from such an imputa- tion—so dangerously true. S a lie!” he gasped. Trenchard shut one eye and owl- ishly surveyed his companion with the other. " “They say,” he added, “that you'rs for forsaking duke's party. “Villainous' Richard protested, “T'll sli’ throat of any man 't 8ays 50. And draining the pewter at his elbow he smashed it down on the table to emphasize his seriousness. ished it with the then sat back in utmost promptne lled a moment his tall chair and | in the rash fool's ear, | weight | had about | hand over his brow, as If 1o brush | | scabbard.” at the fresh pipe with which he had equipped himself. “‘T think I espy,’” he quoted pres- ently, “‘virtue and valor crouched in thine eye. And yet—and yet—if I had cause to think it true, I'd—T" run you through the vitals—jus’ so,’ and ‘he prodded Richard’s waistcoat with the point of his pipe stem. His swarthy face darkened, his eyes glit- tered flercely. “Are 'ye mure ye're norrer foul traitor? ‘he- demanded suddenly. “Ate ¥ sure, for if ye're no! He left the . terrible menace un- uttered, but it was none the less understood. It penetrated the vinous fog that beset the brain of Richard, and startled him. “Swear I'm not!” he eried. “Swear mos’ solemnly I'm not.” “Swear?' echoed Trenchard, and his scowl grew darker still. “Swear? A man may swear and yet lie—'a man may smile and smile and be a villain.’ T'll have proof of your loyaity to us. Tl have proof, or as there's a heaven above and a hell below, I'll rip you His mien was terrific, and his voice the more threatening in that it was at 5 p.m., and tomorrow, at 1|is to play the part of the blind Ju- | not raised above a.whisper. adulls and infants, Richard ‘ "’“’b sat back appalied, “Wha'—what proof'll s e ne Tba 2 1 satisfy you Trenchard considered it, pulling his pipe again. “Pledge me the duke, ald he at length. “Ther's truth 'n ine.

Richard reached for his pewter, glad that the test was to be so light. ~Up on your feet, man,” grumbled Trench- ard. “On your fect and see that you words have a ring of truth in them. Richard did as he was bidden, the littie reason left hiln being conce trated wholly on the convincing of his fellow tippler. He rose to his feet, 50 unsteadily that his chair fell over with & bang. He never heeded it, but others in the roo: turned at the sound and a hush fell in the chambe: Dominating this came Richard's volc strident with intensity, If thick fn utterance. “Down with Popery, the _ Protestant duke!” he cried, “Down with Poper: And he looked at Trenchard for applause, and assur- ance that Trenchard no longer thought there was cause to quarrel with him. Behind him there was a stir in the room that went unheeded by the boy. Men nudged their neighbors; some looked frightened and some grinned at the treasonable words. A swift change came over Trench- ard. His drunkenne: fell from him like a discarded mantle. He sat like & man amazed. Then he heaved him- seif to his feet in a fury and smashed down his pipe stem on the wooden table, sendin ts fragments flying. Damn me!" he roared. “Have I sat at table with a traite And he lightly yet with sufficient force to thrust at Richard with his open palm, throw Richard off his precarfous bal ance and send him sprawling on the sanded floor. Men rose from the tables about and ‘approached them, some few amused, but the majority very grave. Dodsley, the landiore came hurrving to assist Richard to his feet “Mr. Westmacotn” he whispered ou were b t nd God save away.” Richard stood up, leaning his full upon the arm the landlord his waist. He passed a aside the veil that obscured his wits. What had happened?” What had he £aid? What had Trenchard done? Why did these fellows stand and gape at him? He heard his compan- fon's voice, raised to address the company. Gentlemen,” he heard him say, “T trust there is none present will im- pute to me any share in such treasos able sentiments as Mr. Westmacott has expressed. But if there is wha questions my loyalty, I have a convincing argument for him—in my hilt with his fist. Then he clapped on his hat, aslant over the locks of his golden wig, and taking up his whip he moved wih letsurely dignity toward the door. Fie looked back with a sardonic smile at the ado hs was leaving behind him, | listened a moment to the voices. that already were being raised in excite- ment his way briskly to the stable yard, where he called for his horse. He rode out of Bridgwater ten minutes later, and took the road to Taunton as the moon was rising vellow over the hills on the left. He reached Taunton toward 10 o'clock that night, having ridden hell-to-leather. His first visit was to the Hare and Hounds, where Blake and Westma cott had overtaken the courier. His next to the house where Sir Edward Phelips and Col. Luttrell—the gentl men lately ordered to Taunton by h majesty—had their lodging. The fruits of Mr. Trenchard's ex- traordinary behavior that night were an early hour on the . when & constable and three tything en came with a lord lieutenant's warrant o arrest Mr. Richard Westmacott on a charge of L treason. They found the youns man still abed, and most guilty was his panic when they bade him rise and dress himsel{—though little did he dream of the full extent to which Mr. Trenchard had enmeshed him, or indecd that Mr. Trenchard had an hand at all in this affair. What time he was getting into his ciothes with a | tything man outside his door and an- |other on guard under his window the constable and his third myrmidon made an exhaustive search of the | house. “All they found of interest was a letter signed “Monmouth,” which they took from the secret drawer of @ secretary in the library; but that, it seemed, was all they sought, for having found it they proceeded no further with thelr rockless and dee structive ransacking. With that letter and the person of Richard Westmacott, the constable and his men took their departure, and rode back to Taunton, leaving alarm &nd sore distress at Lupton House. |In her despair poor Ruth was all for following her brother, in the hope | that at least by giving evidence of how that letter came into his poss sion she might do something to assist him. But kpowing, as she did, that he had had his share In the treason that was hatching, she had cause to fear that his guilt would not lack for other proofs. It was Diana who urged her to repair instead to the only man upon whose resource she might de- pend, provided he were willing to exert it. That man was Anthony and whether Diana urged it fromemotives of her own or out of concern for Richard, it would be dif- ficult to say with certainty. The very thought of going to him for ald, after all that had passed, was repugnant to Ruth. And yet what choice had she? Convinced by her cousin and urged by her affection and duty to Richard, she repressed her aversion, and, calling for a horse, rode out to Zoyland Chase, attended by a groom. Wilding by good fortune was at home, hard at Work upon a mass of documents in that same library where she had talked with him on the occasion of her first visit to his home—to_the home of which she re- membered that she was now herself the mistress. He was preparing for circulation in the west a mass of libels and incendiary pamphlets cal- culated to forward the cause of the Protestant duke. Dissembling his surprise, he bade old Walters—who left her waiting in the hall whilst he went to announce her—to admit her instantly, and he advanced to the door to recelve and welcome her. “Ruth,” said he, and his face was oddly alight, “you have come at last.” She smiled a wan smile of self-pity. “I have been constrained,” said she, and told him what had happened; that her brother had been arrested for high treason, and that the constable in searching the house had come upon the Monmouth letter she had locked away i her desk. ‘And not a doubt” she ended, “but it will be believed that it was to Richard the letter was indited by the duke. You will remember that its only address was ‘to my good friend W.’ and that will stand for Westma- cott as well a8 Wilding.” Mr. Wilding was fain to laugh at the irony of this surprising turn of things of which she brought him news, for he had neither knowledge nor suspicion of the .machinations of his friend Trenchard, to which these events were due. But noting and re- specting her anxiety for her brother, he curbed his natural amusement. (Continued in Tomorrow’s Star.)

The risen Therq is only one lesson that ap- pears fitting for Easter. Most of the thought and teaching tomorrow will be upon the great theme of Christ's resurrection, which Easter empha- sizes, although some will be moved to follow the historical series and consider Elisha's character and ca- reer. History of nations and indi- viduals has always been changed whenever the fundamental doctrine of the liwng Christ has been pro- claimed. There is no explanation of Christianity, the existence of the church, the New Testament and the observan. of the first day of the week except the historical fact of the resurrection of Jesus. Three days after the crucifixion of the Master several of the faithtul women who had left the newly made tomb with heavy hearts came carly on the first day of the week to em- balm the body of their Lord. These souls had shared with the other dis- ciples the darkness, discouragement and disappointment of the cross dur- ing the Intervening time. Their am. bitions were buried In the grave with the Christ. Filled with sorrow over the sad ending, as they thought, of the career of Jesus, they arose before it was dawp. Love for the Master | called them in the gray of the early morn through the silent streets of Jerusalem to His rock-cut tomb, evi- dently without the slightest anticipa- { tlon of Christ's trfumph over death | and the grave. In all their preparation they evi- dently had forgotten to cons{der how they could get into the tomb to an- noint the body of the Master. Mark points out their surprise when thex “looked up” and noticed the stone rolled away, the angel in his shining glory sitting upon it and the soldiers | lying about as dead men. They had failed to grasp the meaning of the teachings of Christ concerning His resurrection, so_they did not expect such an event. No wonder they were filled with fear at the sppearance of the angel, who qnieted them by his poise and words. The attitude of the | shining stranger indicated no_ cau: for alarm. His position indicated restfulness and his dress revealed purity. He calmed them by his refer- | ence to the humanity, lowly residence | and ignominious death and thrilled them with his declaration of His res- urrection and the demonstration of | | the empty tomb confirming the an- gel's statement. The other_disciples needed to be comforted. Thers was no time to be lost or wasted in aeking questions concerning _the most stupendous event in all history. The others must | not be allowed to sink any deeper in | despair. They must be checked in | their downward career of doubt and | unbeliet, so the women were appoin |ed messengers of the resurrection | They were sent to the disciples and | Petér, who had denied the Lord at | His frial. None had suffered more | than the apostle, whose heart had | | been broken by the Master's look. He | | needed the special mesgsage to en- courage him. He naturally under the | circumstances looked for a rebuke, | but this word would |age him. Paul | meeting that Peter had with the risen Christ, and John records how he was | recalled and reappointed to service | when he went fishing when he should have met the Lord in Galiles at the| appointed meeting place | Mary Magdalene was plunged into | bewilderment and doubt, like the others who had fled from the tomb, | by the words of the angel She | doubted the heavenly messenger, for she inquired of one, whom she | thought was the gardener, requesting | where they had laid Him, as John | tells us. Christ drew near Mary, who | had been filled with trembling. amazement and doubt by the angel's words concerning His resurrection. | She probably had tarried near the tomb, like many broken-hearted souls | today seek the burial place of their | loved ones. Jesus revealed Himself to her and sent her flying after the other women with the news of His vietory. In their fear the women| would not have carried the message ©of hope to the disciples, who mourned Snd wept They couls not mccept its | truth. John 11s us how Peter and | he decided to investigate the reports. Two disciples walking to Emmaus were the next to report their meeting with Him to the disciples, who were startled by His appearance among them in the upper room, where He condemned them for their unwilling- ness to accept the testimony of those Wwho had seen Him alive. Our message of good news concern- ing a future life is based upon the historical evidence of Christ's resur- rection. The sanctity of the first day of the week as one of religious wor- ship can be traced to nothing else than the triumph of Jesus over the grave. The establishment of the church and the existence of Christ's followers today is due to the fact that the doubting bellevers, who had not anticipated His resurrection, were convinced by indisputable ovidences that transformed their lives and gave zeal to their efforts to preach the gospel of the Lord's resurrection, The souice of the New Testament was due to the establishment of bodies of be- lievers who were converted from thelr old life through the evidence that Jesus lives and can't be taken from His followers.

It revealed the sov- ereignty of Jesus, who demonstrated His authority by the responsibility He placed upon the church to preach the gospel to every creature. It was due to His_spiritual presence with His people that they were inspired to attempt the tasks of winning the world for Him by the gospel of His resurrection. “His presence still calls us on in carrying out His program to win the world for Him. | Elisha: Teacher and Statesman. Elisha did not enter upon his career as a tealher and successor of Elijah uncil after the great prophet had dis- appeared In a chariot of fire. The dis- ciples of the Christ did not start upon their missionary work until after His ascension and they had becoms filled with power from on high. Every rep- resentative of God requires a vision from God before he can attempt to do the Lord's work. Elisha had learned during his apprenticeship days under Elijah the power of prayer. He taught his servant the power of prayer when the young man feared that the prophet's life was endan- gered because tnoir home was sur- rounded by the enemy, whose army and plans against Jehoram, king of Israel, had failed because of Elisha's vision. In answer to Elisha’s prayers his servant saw the evidence of the power of the unseen world He recog- nized, as we would if we had vision, that God always keeps watch above His own, ready to aid them in danger. In answer to FElisha's prayers the forces of the Syrian’s were dazzled with bewilderment, probably similar to that of the German army, they thought there were great forces | between them and the English chan- | nel, at an hour when there was only | a single line of me nce of the king of TIsrael, where he revealed the| power of philanthrophy to remove friction and restore fellowship ba. tweén nations in war. The great need for statesmen in this present hour is to learn from Israel's prophet the way to turn an enemy into a friend. Our economic relations has been the source of many a contest in the labor world afd the cause of many a war. The only way to turn an enemy into a friend is to make him recognize your superior | power and then reveal vour kindne: and friendly spirit Elisha's appeal to the noblest sentiments of his king and his use of kindness made an en- during peace. The still emall voice of iove is more potent than force in es- tablishing and preserving peace. Our | risen Lord in the golden rule iaid down the essentials of statesmanship that if practiced would solye the problems of every individual, stat and nation in their dealings with others. Jesus indorsed by His teach ings the methods adopted by Elisha to eliminate war and promote peace.
