STRANGE TRADITION. It was a dreary winter night; the g8now lay thick upon the ground and th: wind went wandering through the narrow city streets, now wailing lugubriously, then shrieking shrilly : rattling at the door and windows, and thundering over the house tops, making the people tremble in their beds. The wild wind seemed to have some special business in the world this night, as it went careering and raging round and round, driving the good folks into their houses, hurling down chimney-pots, tearing up old trees, playing at h:de-and-seck in the churchyards as though it would wake the dead; and failing in that. fiiinz up to the steeple, howling furiously, striking it on all sides, wrestling in a mad endeavor to send it crashing on the graves below. If it could only have woke uv the spirit of justice, that lay bound in a trance-like sleep. it might have been content to rest, but it could not : having tired itself out, it sank down sobbing and wail- ing round a palace prison, where a doomed King lay sleeping his last carthly sleep. All the griefs, trials and vicissitudes that can befall ha- manity had been crowded into the life of the unfortunate sovereign. Ie had been weighed down by polit- ical anxieties and military defeat. and at last with a brave, unfiinching spirit had undergone the terrible ordeal of a public trial—a mere mock- ery of justiee—which resulted in his condemnation to death. Ie had already bid farewell to wife, children, friends, and 1elations, and had now but a few hoursto live. One wonder was rife among thé people, one ques- tion had fiown from li tolip during the day, but night came and left it unanswered—** Who was to fulfil the chastly office of headsman to the King ?” It was not to be the com- mon executioner— that was well known; but on whom, then, would devolve the responsible office ? It “Let me take your place and I'll make it ten times more,” exclaimed his = visitor. Richard, butcher, thongh he was, and fresh from the shambles of St. Ives, recoiled before the eager voice of the speaker. Was he mad ? or—he smiled grimly, and shook his head. “It is a plot to save the King,” he said. I “Save the King!” echoed his visitor, with a low laugh of bitter hatred. ‘Though he had twenty heads, I fought at Naspy. strove with might and main to stand face to face with him, that we might eross swords and fight till one or both were slain, for I have sworn no hand but mine shall shed his blood !”’ “4m sorry for your oath,” replied Brandon ; ‘you might have kept it times enow without waiting until now. “I tell you 1 have watched «nd waited 2 | “Bah!” interrupted the man; ‘‘a blow in the park would have served your purpose, and the counrty wou d have been saved much cost a nd trou- le: iio ofie would have asked who | struck the blow——"" : “Man! I would be his executioner, not Lis assassin,’ exclaimed his visi- tor fiercely. “You gentlefolk draw nice distine- tions,” sneered Richard Brandon. “Time flies,” rejoined his visitor: | there are no moments to waste in quibbling or useless argument. I make you an offer which will fill your purse and spare you an unpleasant task. It can be no pleasnrs to be- read the King.” - “But it would be an uncommonly unpleasant thing for me to put my head in his place.” “You run no risk,” replied the other: “in case of any discovery or failure my head is in peril, not yours ; but discovery is impossible. Your person is unknown to the prison authorities—unknown to thie people outside—unknown even to Crom- well ; in addition to which you are to be cloaked and masked. Who could tell what form or face is hid- den by such disguise ? It isbut afew minutes work. then the execution is over, the executioner disappeared; no man will care to look upon lus face or clasp him by the hand ; they will shrink from him as though he were a pestilence stalking through the land. Deeide quickly. There is must be a practised hand who would | the HoT; THe abag Tinks strike one blow and have doe. One | ing eoin upon the table as he spoke— thing alone was known—that at twelve o’clock on the morning of the 30th of January the King’s Lcad was to fall. The night that was to herald such a morrow was the very dreariest of the dreary winter. The wind had puffed out the tiny oil lamps that lit the streets with its first breath. and they were dull, dark, and almost deserted. Still the snow fell and the wind wailed on. It was nearly mid- night, when a solitary pedestrain “wended his way through the silent city. He was wrapped in a large roquelare, and wore his hat pulled low over his eyes. He hurried along, looking neither to the right nor to the left, not even pausinz for a second, till he reaciied a shabby, narrow street in the pumlieus of Westminster, with rickety. tumble down houses on each side. He lonked cautiously round him, laid his hand upon a latched door, and entered one of these miserable abodes of Lumani- ty. There was a low whispering of voices in the dark passage; then he ascended a steep {I'ght of worm eaten stairs, ana was shown into a room occupied by one solitary man. The door closed behind him, and they two were left alone. For a moment they gazed on each other’s face; there was no hand shaking, not a single word of greeting passed be- tween them. The occupant of the room was a large, heavy limbed man of the lowest order, with a blo ted face and ferocious cast of counte- nance. One huge hand lay clenched upon the table, as he leaned forward and scanned his visitor from beneath his bushy brows. Ile was the first to speak. “Well, I don’t suppose you've come here for the pleasure of looking vat me, he said, with a ghastly grim. “That’s your writing and your sign- ing, I suppose?’ He held forth a crumpled bit of paper as he spoke. | His visitor bowed his head in token of assent, but said nothing. “Well what do you want ?—folks don’t seek out the likes o’ me for nothing. Tell me gnickly what you want; it is past midnight, and I've work to do to-morrow that needs a steady hand.” geal ‘Itison that matter Idesireto speak to you,” replied his visitor in a cold, calculating tone. “You are here by command of Oliver Cromwell to car- ry out the execution of Charles Stuart. What is your fee ? Fe “You're curious, master: but I “count it. Give me your credentials and disguise, and never fear but all will go well . “How know I that?” said Bran- don, irressolute and sorely tempted. “I was chosen for my skill ; you are no professional, and may be but a bungler at the work. butclier, a slayer of innocent beasts, and TI would not be the torturer of a King.” His visitor glanced keenly round the room ; there was a huge billet of wood lying in the corner. He took it up and placed it on the table. “Give me an axe,” he said, ‘nd draw a chalk line where I shall strike.” Without a word Richard Brandon rose up, took a piece of chalk, and drew a line across the wood. This done he produced an axe scrutinized it carefully, passed his finger over its keensharpedge, and smiled, satisfied. “It should be a rare tool for such fine work,” he said. He balanced it for a moment in his hand, then lifted his arm and deviating not hau’s breadth either to the right or to the left! As the wood fell on either side, with a heavy thud both started, drew a long breath, and looked on each oth- ers faces. The professional slayer felt he was in the presence of a mas- ter band. : The clock at Westminster Abley was striking one as the mysterious stranger left the house, bearing with him the disguise, the credentials and the headsman’s axe. * * x * * * Time turned his hour-glass and days and years fled past. The King’s enemies had passed away, and gene- rations of their children after them. More than one crowned King had laid his sceptre down at the door of mighty King Death. The follies and the courtly vices of the Stuarts were fast fading into matters of history ; and his Majesty King George 11. occupied the Englisn throne. Te noble family of Stair had lost many of its valuable posses- sions during the political excitements of past times. At the present, the chief representative of the house of Stair had fallen into disfavour with the King, and contemplated with- drawing himself from the Court. He came of a proud and haughty race, and could not brook the idea of a for- mal dismissal, which might any hour befall him. IIe knew too well the character of his sovereign.
