A SONG.
There's a sweetness In the nlr
When the sun Is low,
And the sky Is Hushed mid bare,
And tho light winds blow:
While the shadows come and bo
As the night doth fall.
Along the misty moorland where the
curlews call.
There's n lady full of grace
Whom I loved of yore,
And the lovcllght on licr fnco
Shlnoth evermore;
And I long as heretofore
For the night to fall
Along the misty moorland where the
curlews call.
Dcnr love, can 1 forgot
Through tho flying years
Thy face nmld the fret
Of their pains and tears;
Nay, my hoar remembers yet
When tho night doth fall
Along tho misty moorland where tho
curlews cull.

CHAPTER XV.
THE GIFT OF OAYAUD.
The levee lasted sonic little time, ns D'Ain
boise, wlio was studious of the arts of gain
ing popularity, listened with apparent in
terest to anyone who chose to address him,
and seemed to possess a wonderful memory
for even the most trilling details. This was,
in fact, an informal reception, which the car
dinal, both as a prince of the church, and
tliu representative of France at the Pupal
Court, hold daily, and hither came all the
lesser members of the French puty in
Rome, and all those who hoped to gain
something from the prelate by the simple
process of asking, for D'Ainboise was known
to be generous and free, despite an occasion
al tcstincss of manner, such as ho had ex
hibited to Corte, and shown in the first in
stance to St. Armando.
Corte 1 spoke to no more that day, but I
saw him, where he hud retreated to tho ex
treme end of the room, his book under his
nrm, evidently waiting to make his exit. St.
.Armando took his place beside me, his com
panion, the abbe, dropping into the rear.
Once lie, St. Armando, hazarded a remark,
which I did not catch, and therefore did not
answer. In truth, 1 wns in no mood for
speaking, my mind being full of my eventful
interview with the cardinal and llnyard, and
L was more than grateful for tho happy
chance that had enabled me to draw my
sword in aid of the secretary, Muchiuvclli.
I thought, too, of Mnic. D'Entrangues, and
of what she had done in my behalf, and
-would have given much to have thanked her
'for her efforts, fruitless although they np
paicntly were. Rut what struck mo most
of all was the fact that whilst in my misery
at Florence I was upbraiding fate, and all
but cursing Cod, friends wore nt work, try
ing to help and aid me, and this taught men
lesson.
At last the levee came to an end. The last
petition monger had made his request,
JVAmboise had made his last pleasant
speech, and, turning slowly round, we
made our way back, when the cardinal re
tired with Rayard to an inner apartment,
leaving us to our own devices. St. Ar
inaiide, whoso appearance attracted general
attention, was surrounded by the gentlemen
of the suite, who asked the last news of the
court, and the lust scandal of Macon, where
Louis was, holding high revelry, instead of
marching, as he should have done, at once
to Italy, after the defeat of Ccsare at Foe
wombrono. Tho result of his action being a
further truce that much delayed his success,
and indeed very nearly ruined his chances,
which were great at the time. As for me, I
was left to myself, no one coining near me
except the huge hound, which rose slowly,
and, npptoaching, surveyed mo witli grave
interest. Then, apparently satisfied, he
wagged his tail in approval unci touched my
hand with his grim muzzle. I ran my (in
f,crs over his tdiuggy coat with a caressing
motion, and, observing Dcfnure, the page
whom I hud first addressed on arriving,
begged him to show 1110 my apartments, in
quiring at the same time of Jucopo and the
horses.
"The house is full, signorc," he replied,
"but we liavo done what we could for your
accommodation. The hordes have been at
tended to, and the Sctgl. Jucopo awaits you
in your rooms."
"Thanks, fiiend," ami I followed him,
smiling a little to myself at the French rank
which Jacopo had assumed, no doubt out uf
compliment to our host, my new employer.
Wo passed out by the same entrance by
which 1 had come in, and, crossing a court
yard, the page ushered me to a set of apart
ments 111 an outbuilding, and left 1110 with
the information that dinner would be served
at noon for the cardinal as well as the gen
tlemen of the suite.
I found Jacopo iu high glee. Ho had set
out all my appaiel, and was engaged in bur
nishing his sword. This he put down as I
camo in. and burst into speech.
"Wood of St. John! Excellency, but did
I not say luck would turn? Yesterday we
were anywlicie," and he held up both huwU
with the fingers outstretched, "to-day, be
bold!" and ho waved his arms around the
room, which was certainly fitted with lux
ury, and struck me as ull tho more luxurious
after my past privations.
"The horses, Jacopo?"
"Are well as might be, signorc, ami munch
ing their ';om an if they were never to have
another feed. Hoes your excellency mean to
stay Ions in this land of plenty?"
"Not for long, Jacopo. And harkoc! Re
member not to address me by any other
J?Nvf A J
n.unc than that of Donali. Do not let n hint
of my real name escape you, and avoid bub
bling over the wine cup."
"1 will He dumb, excellency."
"A good deal depends on your prudence
in this, and you must take cure not to fnil.
Now to business, and keep your cars open
and your head clear. How do we stand us
regards funds?"
Jacopo, to whom I had intrusted mj
money, pulled out a leather purse and count
ed the contents.
"There are fivc-and-thirty crowns with
me, signorc, and live 1 gave your worship
this morning, making 10 in nil," and he re
stored the purse to its hiding place tinder his
belt.
"Enough for our needs at present, and
more will be forthcoming soon, for there is
business in hand."
"1 said that luck would turn," repeated
Jucoiio. his face showing joy at the news.
"Never mind the luck, but nttend to me.
I want to enlist hnlf a dozen good men, men
who will go anywhere and do anything.
They mu",( bring their own nrmsund horses,
rnd I will engage them for a month, nnd pay
ouch man live crowns."
'"1 lint is at the rate of CO crowns a year
for each man. Wo could enlist half Rome
for that."
"Probably, but it isn't half Rome, onl
hnlf a doen men I want."
"Very true, your worship, nnd I will
doubtless be able to Hud them; but, excellency-"
"What is it?"
"Six men at five crowns each makes 30
crowns, and"
"Did 1 not say more will be forthcoming?
You need not pay them iu ndvancc. Two
crowns each on enlisting, and the remainder
on completion of the task. Will that do?"
"It is enough, surely."
"Very well, then you may set about this
at once, and remember that they should bo
lodged close at hand, and be ready to go any
where at a moment's notice."
"Excellency."
Whilst this conversation wns going on I
had effected such change in my attire as
was possible, resolving to take the first op
portunity the following day to summon a
tailor and give him orders for things for
which I stood in need. Jacopo was just
about to depart when Dcfauro, the page,
appeared, bearing with him a note nnd a
rouleau, which he said was from his emi
nence. These he left with mo and retired,
saying there was no answer. The note was
brief, merely hoping 1 was in comfort, and
sending me iu the rouleau 11 hundred crowns
with the intimation that if 1 needed them
another hundred was leady for me. The
sum, however, was more than nmple, nnd,
giving Jucopo further directions to engage
a couple of lackeys, I sent him nway, re
joicing at my good fortune, with a present of
ten crowns for himself, which the honest iel
low at first refused to take, and only ac
cepted on my pressing the sum on him.
This being done there was nothing left
for 1110 but to await the dinner hour, and I
strolled down to the stables to look at the
horses, which were iu truth in such luxury
no perhaps the poor beasts had never en
joyed. A groom of the cardinal's establish
ment had attended to them, and 1 slipped
a "piece of silver into his hand for his trouble.
Ho bit this to test whether it was genuine
or not, and then settled himself on a heap of
hay to mend some saddlery.
1 left him to his occupation, nnd, with a
parting caress to my beasts, moved further
on to look at the other animals. Ami here,
meeting the head groom, 1 had some conver
sation with him, admiring the cardinal's
stud.
"Yes, excellency," he said, "they are good
horses, notably the two barbs which the
Soldan Djcin presented to his eminence, but
there arc other two now iu our Btables, be
longing to the Sicur de Bayard, the like of
which I have never seen. They are this
way, excellency, if you will but accompany
me."
I readily assented, nnd, passing by the
barbs, whoso slight, delicate frames belied
their powers of speed and endurance, wo
came to a couple of stalls, in which there
were a pair of war horses that fully justified
the head groom's praise. They were both
English, and I recognized the breed, as
Ilnwkwood had brought three or four with
him from Britain, saying, and with truth,
that they were the only animals that could
cer carry him when in full mail. But the
two before me in the stables were as su
perior to Hawkwood's as 11 barb is to a mule.
Ono was the great bay Bayard was riding
on the day of my trial, when he accompanied
the duke and his stall back to Arezzo. The
other was a blue roan, whoso color did not
show off his size to advantage, but whoso
In oad chest, sloping shoulders nnd lean
flunks marked his power. His eyes were
mild and soft, yet full of fire, and Ins small
head was sot like that of a stag upon his
titrong neck. Two grooms, bearing on their
liveries the nrms of the house of Terrail, of
which the Seigneur de Bayard wns chief,
were in attendance, and set to work with a
somewhat unneeefcsury zeal on our appear
ance to polish the coats of their charges,
which already shone like satin. Whilst en
gaged iu admiring these splendid animals
1 beard the deep bay of the hound behind
me, and, turning, saw Bayard himself, who
hud come to visit his favorites. I compli
mented him on the possession of two such
steeds, as who would not have done, and
Bayard said:
"Yes, they two fine animals, truly the finest
I have ever seen, except perhnps the one
eyed Savoy, who was also of the san.e
breed; and yet I am not sure," and ho ran
his ejes over the horses. "They were given
to me, along with Bran here" he touched
the head of tho hound "by his majesty,
Henry of England, when I was taken pris
oner in the English war."
"A noble gift."
"Yes from a noble prince. And you
really admire them, cavnlieie?"
"Vis nnd I knew Savoy, too, and doubt
if he was Letter."
"What can knight want more? A good
horse, a good hound" and his face sad
dened a little "a true love. Pnrdieu! but
I must see to that last. My castle on the
Garonne needs a chatelaine."
1 said nothing, knowing of tho one great
sorrow of his life, which he bore so bravely,
and which I knew hud bitten to his heart,
for all his gay words.
"Castor and Pollux I cnll them," he said,
indicating the horses with a blight gesture.
"Not that they nro nlike, except in speed
and courage, but that they nro both sup
posed to have been born the same day, nnd
have never been separated. The best of
friends must, however, part, nnd a knight
wants no more than one horse; so, cavnlieie,
if you will accept Castor, the blue roan there,
you will find thnt he will never fnil you."
1 could hardly speak for the moment, nnd
nt first stoutly reluscd to take so valuable
a gift; but Bayard would hae no denial,
nnd the shoit of it was that Castor wns led
into one ol the stalls reserved for inc.
To sa that I was grateful would bo to say
very little; but 1 will merely add hero that
the gift itself was only cqunled by the man
ner of the giver. 1 accompanied llnyard into
the garden, which lay to the west of the
palace, and iu course of conversation told
1 1 i tn that I hnd received the sum sent by
D'Ainboise, nnd of the steps 1 had taken to
got together it few men, nnd assured him
thnt; whatever the task wns that I was to be
set to perforin, nothing but death itclf
would cut short my endeavor. Our talk then
drifted to other matters, and he gave me
some information of interest concerning
Mine. D'Entrangues. It appeared that
P'Entrangues, who hnd a friend at court in
his kinsman, Eticnnc de Ycsci, tho sen
eschal of Beaucaire, had forwarded a strong
petition iigainst Trcmouille's decision re
garding himself, nnd n prayer that the king
would restore him to his position, and com
pel Mine. D'Entrangues to return to him.
As if he himself hud not nbnuduncd bet!
Owing to his influence with Ccsare ho hud,
moreover, obtained an order from Alexan
der denying ni'idamo tho refuge of n con
vent. Louis hud, however, declined to in
terfere with Trcmouille's decision, but hnd
oidercd inudumo to lenve the court and re
turn to her husbnnd. Fenring that force
would be tcsorted to in order to compel her
to return to D'Entrangues she hnd lied from
the protection of the Duchesse do la Tre
mouille, who denied all knowledge of her
movements, anil the mnlter stood there.
By this lime it was almost approaching the
dinner hour, and wo separated, Bayard, fol
lowed close at his heels by Bran, going to
Reck the cardinal, and 1 returning to m
chamber, where I found Jacopo, who had
just come hack. He had been to the, stables
on his way up, and was loud iu his prnise of
Castor.
"They say lie is fleet as the wind, excel
lency, and he is as gentle as a lambkin. It is
a glorious steed, and a princely gift."
"It is so; but what success have you hnd?"
"None ns yet about the swoids, signorc:
there has not been lime; but 1 hnvo engaged
a couple of grooms nnd a lackey, nnd or
dered plain liveries for them. The grooms
are even now with the horses, nnd the lackey
will be here to-morrow."
"Yery well, there is time enough. Rnslnl
There go the trumpets. I lis eminence must
be served."
Wo mnde our way to tho dining-hall, en
tering it almost at the same time as the car
dinal, his guests, and the rest of the suite.
At the high table on the dais sat the cardi
nal, with Bayard, another prince of the
church whom I afterwards found out was
the Cardinal of Slrigonia, a scion of the
house of Estc, and a tall, somber looking
man, with high aquiline features and a com
plexion almost as dark as a Moor's. He was
plainly and simply dressed, wearing a light
steel corset over his jerkin, and round his
neck the ribbon of St. James of Coinpostclla,
whilst the order itself, a red enamel sword
with a lleur-de-lis hilt, set in an oval white
enamel medallion with a red border, studded
with brilliants, Hashed at his throat. His
short, closely-cropped hair wns white as
snow, but the long mustache which dropped
over his mouth and short, pointed beard,
was untouched by a streak of gray. Alto
gether a remarkable man, one whom no one
could pass by without looking at twice; and
in me he excited the greatest interest, for
ho was none other than Gannlvo do Cordova,
the "Great Captain," and the most skillful
general of the ago. He had only a few weeks
before driven Mnrshnl d'Aubigny out of Ca
labria, and v.;: Ji-vuhi": r.truij.ht on a;.i'r i.t
Treinouillc, when the cessation of hostilities
stopped ins plans, and suddenly resigning
his command he had come to llomc, for
what purpose no one knew, although it was
said that his resignation and difference with
the Spanish court was but a blind.
Be that as it may, 1 had now an oppor
tunity of teeing together, seated side by side,
the dark and stern grandee of Spain, as able
as he was eiuel, as vindictive as ho was
brave; nnd the brilliant and polished Buy
ard, who seemed to have gathered in his per
son all the noblest qualities of knighthood,
and on the white shield of whose honor
there v never a slain. And how different
wns the fate of these two men! De Cordova,
after holding the highest offices, after be
ing practically a king, after shedding an im
perishable glory on his country by his vic
tories, and btnining her memory indelibly
by his perfidy, died nt Inst, with all his line
spun webs broken. And llnyard old ns 1
am, my tyes grow moist when J think of thnt
glorious day at tho passage of the Sesin,
when, covered with wounds, overborne by
numbers, nnd fighting to the lust against
hopeless odds, Pierre du Terrail gave bin k
his soul to God. But long yeais were to
pass before this happened, and Bayard was
at present in the hcy-dey of his career.
Tho table for the gentlemen of the suilo
was placed just below the dais, and extend
ing further down the loom weie other
tallies, for nil who could obtain seats theie
at, whilst at tho extreme end of tho room
was a high stand, whence anyone was at lib
erty to bear away us much of a meal as he
could carry off on the point of his dagger.
Estimating roughly, 1 should say that fully
.'500 persons (lined daily in this manner, with
D'Ainboise, and this hospitality, which he
exercised in the manner of a French feudal
noble, was the subject of much amusement
at the pupal court, where they prided thcin
solves on a moie lehncd and delicate style
of living. At any rate, all that was heic
wus safe to touch, .mil no one had need to
fear that a dinner at the Palazzo Corneto
with the Cardinal of Iiouen was a prelude to
a supper with St. Peter iu Heaven. His
eminence, who was a notable trencherman,
beamed down from his high scat on us nil,
and tried valiantly to assay conclusions with
the Cardinal of Strigouiu, but was compelled
at last to own himself beaten, for Ippnlyte
d'Esto was one iu a thousand nt tnble; in
fact, this jovial prelate ended his days sud
denly, after a prodigious dinner, which be
gun at 11 111 the morning and ended at four
in tho ifternoon, concluding with so light
a dainty as a dish of roasted crayfish, washed
down with a bottle of vcrnaccia, a wine of
which hi was inordinately fond. At our
own tablo theie were about u dozen or more,
ana I found mjsell seated next St. Armando,
whilst opposite to mo was ho Gore, the car
dinal's chaplain, and next to him an officer
of the pnpl guards, a Spaniard who spoke
littlo nnd ate much. M. Armando passed
by the wine, drinking only water, nnd iu re
ply to n epicstion of mine nnswered that he
was under a vow.
"We cpii absolve jou hero ensily, cheva
lier," said he Clcrc, who overheard the re
murk, "hero, is some Orvieto which I can
recommend," nnd he pushed the (task to
wards St. Armando.
The latter, however, would not bo tempt
ed, and he ( lore shook his head.
"A willful mnn must hnve his own wny,
chcvnlicr; but thnt Orvieto wns a present
from Pierrot, our lord's most favored serv
ant." "Indeed," said the Spaniard; "then 1 ran
safely say it is the Inst present you will re
ceive from Don Pierrot."
"How so?"
"Ccsurc arrived last night, very suddenly,
with two men only, they say. He has not,
however, yet seen his holiness although
he is in the Vatican."
Lo (Mere lcmained silent, lint St. Ar
mntidc asked iu his low voice:
"I do not follow, sir. Could you not ex
plain? Unless 1 ask too much. You seo
I am a stranger iu Rome."
The Spaniard smiled grimly.
"It means, chcvnlicr, that Pierrot was
found this morning with a dngger sticking
up to the hilt iu his heart."
St. Armunde turned pale, and T.e Clerc
asked in a low tone:
"Are j on sure of this? When did it hap
pen?" "As sure ns I sit here. It hnppcned nn
hour or so after Ccsure's coining, Tho popo
is sahl to bo overcome with grief," ami tho
lips of Don Diego de l.eyva took u surcustic
curve.
"Great heavens!" said Lo Clerc. "Poor
Pierrot!"
The chaplain rose from his seat with a
blight apology, and approaching D'Ainboise,
leaned over him and whispered a few
words in his car. M'he rardinul nodded with
nrpurcnt unconcern, nnd l.e Clerc cnuio
back; but watching D'Ainboise narrowly,
1 saw that although he still appeared to
lnugh and jest, his eyes were grave and his
brow troubled. In fact, shortly afterwards,
the high table broke up, and we followed
suit very soon. Despite his elTeininntenp
peurnnco, 1 had begun to take a liking to
St. Armunde, and as the next few hours
were at our disposal, I invited him to rido
out with me, as 1 had a niiiid to try Cas
tor's puces. This, however, he declined,
with the somewhat shy nir that marked his
manner, and, leaving him to his devices, I
ordered ( astor to be saddled and took him
out. When I returned, about five in the
afternoon, felt thnt all that hud been said
of the generous beast 1 rodo underrated his
value, and that I possessed a muuhlcss
steed, who was fit to run for a kingdom.
For the next few days the routine of my
life was exactly the same, the morning at
tendance at the cardinal's levee, the daily
dinner iu public, and long rides with Cas
tor in the afternoons, in which I was some
times accompanied by St. Armando; but
this was not always possible, as he was
closely attached to D'Amboise's person.
D'Ainboise frequently asked me to accom
pany him to tho Vatican; but up to now
J had begged permission to decline his invi
tation, on the pica that, with the business
before me, it would perhaps be well for 1110
to live as much in retreat as possible. Tho
cardinal said, with that good-tempered
laugh of his, which entirely belied his as
tute scheming nature, that as J was us yet
ignorant of my tusk I need not be m erne
ful. I replied to his eminence thnt it wns
just because I was iu tho dark that I was
so circumspect, and he was then good
enough lo agree with me. I was, however,
naturally anxious to see something of tho
Vatican, and one of my reasons for refus
i:"", besides that of pnid"rce, was that I
was not sufficiently well equipped. This,
however, with the funds at my disposal,
was soon mended, but from some cause or
other, I hnd up to now not gone. Jacopo
was not so successful us he anticipated he
would be, in raising his men. It was, above
all, necessary to have them trustworthy,
nnditwasdifliciilt to get men of this clnss for
n merely temporary employment, such as
I offered. At last the matter was ar
ranged, and by the end of the week I mus
tered a body 01' six stout fellows, all of them
fairly well mounted, nnd, whnt wns hot
ter, nil of them trained soldiers. I liud
them lodged near the llipcttu, and the car
dinal's table afforded lliem a free dinner,
of which they were not slow to take advan
tage. In order to keep them employed, I
took them out with 1110 every afternoon, dis
missing them upon my return, with orders
to join the nightly escort of tho cardinal
and Bayard, to and from the Vatican. 1
saw 11 good deal of Bnyurd, anil at times ex
pressed myself with impatience at being
kept to cool my heels. He told 1110 that
he was not nt liberty to mention the de
tails of the business on which J was to bo
employed, nnd advised me to bide my time
with u patient heart. Amongst other mat
teis we spoke of was the murder of Pierrot,
and Bnyurd told me that Ccsare Borgia hnd
left Rome the next day without seeing his
father, Hie popo, and that ho was crushing
out completely the stand made against him
bj my old chief Yitclli of Citta del Castello,
and others.
1 took Bayard's advicoand held patience
by the tail, although 1 longed for work
to begin. My men were in good fettle. They
hnd enough work to keep Ihciu out of mis
chief, tho pay was good, they had suffi
cient leisure ior amusement, and there wau
therefore no grumbling.
