On every hand re- sounded cries of “A Monmouth! a Monmouth! The Protestant Religion! Religion und Liberty.” which latter were the words inscribed on the standard Monmouth had set up that evening on the Church CIiffs. In truth, Wilding was amazed at what he saw, and said as much to Trenchard. So pessimistic had been kis outlook that he had almost e pected to find the rebellion snuffed out by the time they reached Lyme- of-thé-King. What had the authori- ties been ubout that they had per- mitted Monmouth to come ashore, or bad Vallencey's information been wrong in the matter of the numbers hat _accompanied the Protestant champton? Wil red coat at- racted some uttention. In the dusk its color was almost all that could be Hscenrned of it. “Here's a militia captain for the luke!” cried one, and others took up the cry, and if it did nothing else it opened 'a way for them through hat solid human mass and permitted them to win through to the yard of the George Inn. They -found the ‘paclous quadrangle thronged with nen, armed and unarmed, and on the stabled our nags. See to him, Val- lancey; he Is brainsick with the fumes of war.’ The fellow protested, but Tre chard’s way was brisk and short; and 50, protesting still, he led away their cattle in the end, Vallancey going with him to see that he performed this last duty as a stableboy ere he, too, became a champion militant of tho' Protestant cause. Trenchard sped after Wilding, who was elbowing his way_ through the yokels about the steps. The glare of a newly lighted lamp from the doorway fell full upon his long white face as he advanced, H.d Venner espied and recognized him. “Mr. Wilding™ he cried, and there was a glad ring in his voice, fo though cobblers, tailors, deserte from the militia, potboys, stable- boys and shuffiing yokels had been coming in in numbers during the past few hours since the declaration had been read, thiz was the first gen- tleman that arrived to welcome Mon- mouth. The soldier stretched out a hand to grasp the newcomer's. “His wrace will see vou this instant, not a doubt of it.” 'He turned and called down the passage. “Cragg!” A young man in a buff coat came forward, and to him Venrer delivered Wilding and Trenchard that he might announce them to His Grace, In the room that had been set apart for him abovestairs, Monmouth still draw Filetcher of Saltoun, whilet, standing at the foot of the table barely within the circle of candle- light from the branch on the polished oak, was Nathaniel Wade, the law yer, who had fled to Holland on ac- count of his alleged complicity in the Rye House plot and was now re- urned a major in the duke's service. irect and soldlerly of figure, girt with a great sword and with the butt of 2 pistol protruding from his belt, he had little the air of a man whose meth- ods of contention were forensic.

FEAR ADVENT OF MAY DAY. BUENOS AIRES, April 26.—May day is contemplated with considerable anxiety throughout the country owing 10 the growing number of trades unions that have threatened to strike if the government fulfills its an- nounced intention of making the new national pension- law effective on that day.
