The King's ' Prisoner ,
BY JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN.
{ Copyrighted , 1900. by Dally Story Pub. Co. )
H was a cold December day , 174C ,
In the relgu of his gracious majesty ,
George II. Yorkshire is bleak in win
ter and I remember well how bitterly
the wind howled about Moor House
that day of days. I sat idle at a win
dow In my own particular wing o the
old manor. My gaze was out on the
wide moor , buc iry thoughts were far
away in London. Lord ! What a farrago
rage were those same thoughts. For
I was but a girl and a beauty , and I
had just returned from the gayeties of
a London season. St. James' , the
Mall , Vauxhall , the whirl of fashion
and frivolity , adulation , wholesale con
quest and not a man among all the
dandies to touch a maiden's heart.
Bah ! Better far the keen winds of
the woodlands and the dullness of an
ancestral home. And yet there was
one was he fop and fashion plate like
the rest ?
At this precise point I awoke from
my day dreams and found that I was
watching a little group of horsemen
headed towards Moor House. As I
watched them with idle curiosity , a
Hash of wintry sunlight brought' out
the gleam of red. "Soldiers ! " I
thought , and now 1 gazed with real in
terest , wondering what was their er
rand at the manor. Presently I could
a a that one of the riders in the cen
ter of the group wore no red. Soon
they came clattering into the stable
yard , and then I saw that he was a
prisoner. His hands were tied and
his feet were bound under the belly
of his horse.
Forthwith I sent my maid to find
who was the prisoner and what was
the errand of the troopers at Moor
House , and presently she returned with
mouth agape to tell me that the pris
oner was a most desperate and violent
adherent of Prince Charlie , being con
veyed to the Tower. The captain of
the troopers had gone in to my father
to ask leave to billet his men at the
. "Lady Bess , why have you done this
thing ? "
manor for the night. Now , my father
Jwas Hanoverian to the backbone ; so
Jl knew that the captain's request
'would be granted as a matter of
[ course. And so it proved ; for when I
went down to dinner my lord presented
to me Captain Huntly. And Captain
tluntly , quite the town dandy and
inan of fashion , made his best leg and
quite gallantly expressed his happi-
tness over the honor of being presented
( to so famous a beauty as Lady Bess
JHeriot.
) After dinner , finding the captain
{ dull , I left the two men to their cards
, and had the sergeant of the troopers
| sent in to me. The poor man was
Iquite overcome by the magnificence of
any presence , and scarce managed to
make intelligent answers to my ques
tions about the prisoner. He was
young , he said ; scarce more than a
boy , yet he was a most dangerous
plotter and exceedingly skilled in the
use of the sword. 'Twos certain that
he had stood high in the councils of
the Pretender ; indeed , so valuable
were the secrets he held that the
King was determined to have them at
any cost.
"A dangerous rebel , " said I. "Then
he is for a long imprisonment in the
Tower"
"No , your Leddyship , " replied he.
"He will be but questioned at the Tow
er ; then he goes to Tyburn Tree. "
"What , " cried I , "they will hang
him ? " .
"Aye , " he answered , grimly. "He is
a most contumacious varlet. He has
been offered pardon , if he would betray -
tray his friends and he has chosen
death. "
"And what's his name , sergeant ? "
said I.
'Walter Lennox is the name he's *
known by , your Leddyship , but 'tis
said there is some mystery about him. "
I
Heavens ! I knew the man. Thrice
had I met him in London , a dandy
among dandies , masquerading under
a cloak of fashion and frivolity. Yet
f
I had suspected the masquerade. He
was the one I had guessed might be
a man. " cc
My heart swelled within me for the c
pity of it , but I kept my face under
the eyes of the keen old sergeant and 1 ]
agreed with him that so hardened a.
wretch would be well punished. And
I .announced that S
finally I would see
the desperate villain. The sergeant ,
nothing loth to exhibit his prisoner ,
and flattered by my interest , made C
ready a lantern and with Mistress 1' '
Molly , I followed him to the coach v
room where a sentry stood watchful u
at the door , his bayonet gleaming , r
They threw open the door and thrust
in the "lantern. I b
The prisoner lay in some straw , his ' 2
hands and fee ; bound with rope. At | &
our coming lie sat up and blinked for ' t <
a moment at the lantern's light , li/en
he lifted up his chin and looked at
me. Tlierc was quick recognition in
his eyes. Instantly veiled ; then fol
lowed a full , direct gaze. Ah , the
power of that look ! Something like
a flame seemed to leap into my breast
and for once it was Bess Heriot's eye
that quailed and dropped. My knees
went weak , but I kept my countenance.
"Lord , sergeant ! " cried I in my most
affected London drawl , "what an ar
rant rebel it is. Sure the rogue is
dangerous. Take me away. "
.
* c.
At 2 of the clock in the morning I
led him Into the kitchen where a bright
fire was burning on the hearth and
food and wine stood on the dresser.
And coming into the light we stopped
to look. Ragged he was and ill-
dressed , half-starved and trembling
with the cold , but brave and bright
and unshaken. Gone was the masque
of the dandy , but he was handsome
as he never was in coat and wig and
powder. And I bore his scrutiny un-
ilinching , being in a kitchen maid's
gown and hooded and cloaked , with
a smutty face to cap it.
"Zur , " said I , hitting off to the life
the kitchen maid whose clothes I
wore , "don't 'ee waste time. Hast
none long to bide. Fill stomach and
warm bones. "
But to my astonishment , instead of
going down on his knee and hailing
me as his preserver , he burst out into
a laugh and vowed he would not touch
a mouthful until I told him how his
escape had been effected. So I went
on , secure in my disguise :
"Ladyzhip have a-brought it about.
Ladyzhip zays to me zays zhe :
'Wench , come quiet to kitchen wi'
your zweet'eart , Joe Gamekeeper , for
I've a-got a need o' 'ee for what I
mind to do. An' zhe telled Joe to
zaddle grey hunter food an' spirits
an' pistols in the bags an' a big cloak
an' to wait behin' orchard wall. An'
Ladyzhip zays to me , zays zhe , 'Zentry
have a-got much zpirits in heaself.
Take lanthorn under zhawl an' zlip all
unbeknown through passage to cellar
under coach house puzh up trap door
quiet like cut ropes an' bring rebel
rogue to kitchen. Give 'ee this purse
o * gold for him. Tell him mount Grey
Hunter an' ride for life. If he have
a-goa 'cart of a vly 'ee'll go free. ' "
With that I laid the purse down on
the dresser. But he made no move to I
take and clapped his hands softly ,
saying it was as good as a play , and |
then fell to eating. |
"Zur , " said I , "vy did 'ee zcov.'l zo.
Wast droamin' of zweet'eart , likes ? "
"Xay , " said he , "no time have I had
for swcothearting. But I dreamed of
a maid I saw in London. In my dream
she was kind , but you waked me to re
member that in the flesh she had de
nied me and called me 'arrant rebel , '
and so r scowled. "
"Fair , wuz zhe , zur ? " I asked.
"The toast of London town , " he said ,
"but scatter-brained and with a tem
'
per. " And then he laughed.
The impudent rogue ! I said no more
till he had finished. And then the
audacious fellow came up close and
said , with a wonderful dancing light in
his eye , but with his lips sweet and
sober :
"Now. Lady Bess Heriot , with many
thanks for your food and wine and
fire your humble servant is ready to
go back to his straw and his dreams. "
"Lord ! I was that taken aback I
just stood and stared at him. And he
went on gravely and soberly :
"Your worshipful father , you see ,
has given billet for tonight to this cap
tain , and to free his prisoner attaints
him and his of treason. I cannot
accept freedom at such a price to to
my friends. " With that he made a
grand bov/ and stood waiting my
answer.
Alas ! I know he spoke the truth ,
but I burst out on him with a torrent
of reproaches and asservations that
the Heriots had naught to fear from
such a cause. Methinks I must have
made too light of it , for he drew off
cold and distant. But he answered :
"Madame , I would I could accept
your estimate of my value as a pris
oner , but I know what I know and
'tis trouble for you all sore trouble. "
"But , lad , " I cried , " 'tis Tyburn Tree
else. "
"I know , " said he gravely. But there
was no sign of flinching in him.
And then I forgot all my fine airs
and begged him not to throw his
young life away aye , I pleaded with
him with tears.
"Lady Bess , why have you clone this
thing ? " he asked me finally , holding
me with his pye.
And I could not say a word , nor
could I take my eyes away , and in turn
he said nothing , but gazed at me stead
fastly a long time.
"I cannot die on Tyburn Tree
now , " he said finally. "I will to
France and there send word. If you
find the price too heavy , send word in
time and I will return. And anyway ,
will return some day. "
With that the audacious young rebel ,
still in the shadow of death , threw off
his soberness and laughing like a boy
for sheer joy of being cast on the floor
my kitchen maid's cloak and heedless
of the smut took me in his arms and
covered my face and lips with kisses.
For a minute I fought him ; then all
my anger and pride oozed out of mo
and I gave him back kiss for kiss.
Then he loosed me and without a word
strode out into the night.
