The fact is, each resents having any- thing said about what the Navy i going to do until the hour when the bloody die |was to be cast for the life or death of Rebecca. It was a scene of bustle and life, as if the whole vicinity had poured forth its in- habitants to a village wake, or rural feast. On the present occasion, a | throne was erected for the Grand | Master at the east end, surround- ed with seats of distinction for the Preceptors and Knights of the Order. Over these floated the sa- ered standard, called Le Beau- seant, which was the ensign, as its name was the battle-cry, of the Templars. At the opposite end of the lists was a pile of faggots, so arranged | around a stake, deeply fixed in | the pon, as to leave a space | for the victim whom they were destined to consume, to. enter | within the fatal circle, in order to be chained to the stake by the | fetters which Bonk Eady ap that jurpose.

The future looks better | bolical exercises. |. At length the drawbridge fell, | the gates opened, and a knight bearing the great standard of the order, sallied from the castle, pre- | ceded by six trumpets, and fol- | lowed by the Knights Preceptors, two and two, the Grand Master coming last, mounted on a stately | horse, whose furniture was of the | simplest kind. Behind him came Brian de Bois-Guilbert, armed | eap-a-pie in bright armour, but | without his lance, shield, and sword, which were borne by his | two esquires behind him. His | face, though partly hidden by a {| long plume which floated down from his barret-cap, bore a strong sion, in which pride seemed to contend with irresolution. .He looked ghastly pale, as if he had not Hep for several nights, yet reined his pawing war-horse with the habitual ease and rop- er to the best lance of the Order of the Temple. His general ap- pearance was grand and com- manding; but, looking at’ him with attention, men read that in his dark features. from, which they willingly withdrew _ their eyes. After these came a guard of warders on foot, amidst whose partisans might be seen the pale form of the accused, moving with a slow but undismayed step to- wards ‘the scene of her fate. The unfortunate Rebecca was conducted to the black chair placed near the pile. On her first glance at the terrible spot where preparations were making for a death alike dismaying to the mind and painful to the body, she was observed to shudder and shut her eyes, praying internally doubt- less, for her lips moved though no speech was heard. In the space of a minute she opened her eyes, looked fixedly on the pile as if to familiarise her mind with the object, and then slowly and nat- urally turned away her head. ‘HE Grand Master commanded the herald to stand forth and do his devoir. The trumpets then flourished, and a herald, stepping forward, proclaimed aloud, — “Oyez, oyez, oyez.—Here standeth the good knight, Sir. Brian de Bois-Guilbert, ready to do; battle with any knight of free blood, who will sustain the quarrel al- lowed and allotted to therJewess Rebecca, to try by champion, in respect of lawful essoine of her own body; and to such champion the reverend and valorious Grand Master here present allows a fair field, and equal partition of sun and wind, and whatever else ap- pertains to a fair combat.”. The trumpets again sounded, and there was a dead pause of many min- utes. “No champion appears for the | and mingled expression of pas- appellant,” said the Grand Mas- TODAY IN HISTORY (Know America) 1765—-Patrick Henry offers ‘his- ‘toric seven radical resolutions of Cat ‘independence in Virginia House} tof Burgesses. | 1790—Rhode Island ratifies the | }Constitution—13th and last of the} original states. { 1846—(100 years ago).
