him thuo late , or ho began at the list

of the floor gnnwlng his nails and listening
or perhnps thinking. The ill lft of hla reflec

the vlaltor'o impatlentlj repeating his Btim-

windows v\Hch being net In the mode of

and tvciaping with every appenrance of re

The man who had knocked and who
walked In with an Impatient step , as If the
waiting had been Ilttlo to his table , waa
tall and slight. Tor the rest n cloak nnd
hat napped low over his face hid both
features and complexion. I noticed that
Fcignson bowed ngnln nnd humbly , but did
not aililicss him. and that the gentleman
also kept silence until ho had seen the
door secured behind him Then , and no his

who wrote to jnu ? From this house ? "
"I have. Wheto Is ho ? "
"Hero. "
"Here ? Hut vvheTo , man , where ? " the
newcomer replied , looking quickly around.
Still Ferguson did not move. "My lord
duke , yon came here , In a word to eee Lord
Mlddleton ? " lie said.
It was cosy to see that the duke's gorge
rose at the other's manner , no le s than al
this namli'K of namea Hut with an cfforl
he swallowed his chagrin. "If jou know
that jou know all , " he answered with com-
ncsurc. "So without more take me to him
But 1 may as well say , sir , since jou seerr
to bo In bis conlldence "
"It was my hand wrote the letter. "
"IIii ! Was It so' Then jou should know
elr , that a madder and more foolish thins
was never done ! If ray 'Lord ' Mlddleton , " h <
continued coldly , his tone inclined to sar
casm rather than to feeling , "desired to rub

Othetwis.0 he was mad. Mad , filr , or worse ,
to send such a letter to a place where he
must have known of his own knowledge thai
nine letters out of ten are opened by others' '
hands ! "
"Yout grace U right , " Terguson answered
drjly , and in his natural voice , at the sound
of which , either because of Its native harsh
ness or bec-iuso it toucned'somo chord in hit
numoij , my lord started , "Dnt the .fact la , "
the plotter continued hardily , and with a
smack of Impertinence In his tone , "mj
Lord Middleton , so far as I know , is still
with the king at St. Get mains. "
"At St Germalns ? " tbo etuke cried. "With
the king ? "
"Yea , and to bo candid , " tbo other an
swered , ' I was not aware , my lord , that jou
liaii tent him a safe conduct. "
"You villain ! " the duke cried and stepped
foivvaid , his rage excited as much by the
man's manner as by the trick which had
beea played him. "JIow dared jouuaj , then ,
that ho vvas Here ? Answer , fellow , or It
will be the worse foi you. "
"I bald only , jour grace , " Terguson
answered , ictieating a step , "that the
w rlter of the letter was here "
Tor a moment my lord , utterly dum-
foundcd bj this , stood looking nt him
"And jou are he1" he said nt last , with
chilling ficoni , "nnd the authoi of thlt

" \ml of many jIote beside , " my mastct

patleneo tbo duke removed hLi hat , which ut

CHAPTI5R XXI.
It cannot nt this djy be needful for mo to
( lei'crlbo ' In detail the comeliness and nobility
of three features which tlio nction disclosed ,
since they are well remembered by many
htlll living , as they ore faithfully proterred
for poatcritj jet lacking rome of the glow
and patriot ! which then animated them on
the canvas uf Sir I'ctei Lely , which hangs
in tbo Phai terhouto. The duke of Shrowii-
buiy to > > et concealment aside waa then
In bis thlrtj-slxth joar. In the prime and
bloom of manhood , ot n fair complexion and
icgulir featutcij , over which the habitude of
high rank and the pcsspi'slan of unilvalled
parts threw n cast of reserve and etatelinesa
not unbecoming. Ao he was by nature so
tenhltlve that on tht.5 side alone hla enemies
found him vulnerable , eo II'H face In repow. ,
If It bad liny fault at all , hid that of border

following these of the- most beautiful models
ot antiquity Hut this blemish If that

Indolent , ho wao of such a temper that the

though proud , he give the meamst his rights

Suph was the man who no1 confronted

That the latter from the first had Intended

tated awed by tbo mere powei of worth ,
OH I ha\r heard that wicked men calling up
spirits from the deep have stood nffrighted
before the veiy beings tbej ha\e conjured
up. iet his hesitation was but lor a mo
ment , after which , rail j ing the native au
dacity of u temperament which rejoiced in
tncsc Intrigues and denoucmenta , he stepped
Jauntilj forward , and , assuming such a par-
imj of dignity an likened his clumsy fig

as an ape decked out In maii'o clothes , be
allowed the light to fall on his leaturej.

the lath and planter partition. I heard
him catch his breath sbnrplj"You arc
Robert Ferguson , " ho sftld.
"Well RueMed , " the plotter answered , with
a harsh , dUcordant laugh , "Yoar grace has
not forgotten ' 8S. Ilelleve me , If the prlncn
of Orange had kept as good a memory , I
should not have been here In this garret ,
nor need I have troubled your lordship to
visit me In It. "
"It would have been better for jou elr ,
had jou still refrained , " the duke answered
with severity. "Mr. Ferguson , I tell jou
nt once , I do not bear his innjcs y'a commis
sion In vain , and my flrat proceeding on
leaving this house will be to Kn a warrant
for jour apprehension and direct the officers
whcro it can be executed. "
"And I , my lord , " 1'ergusoa answered ,
with an Impudent attempt at pleasantry ,
"have n very gooil mind to tnkc jou nt jour
word and let jou go to do It. Tor when
jour olllcers arrived here they would not
Hnd me , while jour grace would go hence
to fall Into ns pretty a trap ns was ever
laid for n mnn "
"And doubtless of jour laying1" my lord
cried , with a gesture of contempt.
"On the contrary , until I snw jour grace
I knew of the trap , Indeed , but not for whom
It was Intended Since I have seen jou ,
however and how greatly jou have Im
proved since ' 88 , when we last met" Fergu
son added , Impertinently , "my eyes are
opened , nnd I feel a verj sincere pity for
jour lordship "
"I nm obliged to jou for jour wninlng"
the duke answered , drjlj , "and will en
deavor to take care of mjsclf If that be all ,
therefore , that you have to oay to me and
I nssumo that the letter In Lord Middle-
ton's name was no more than a ruse I will
say good daj. "
"Naj , but that Is not all , nor a part , "
Ferguson replied , "I have a bargain to pro
pose , and Information" ho added , sullenly
mil with lowered ejcs , "to give. "
"Ha ! As iifliial , " my lord answered , shrug
ging his shoulders and speaking with the
most cutting scorn. "Hut permit me to pay
that you have made a mistake , Mr. Ferguson ,
In sending for me. As you should know by
but In a lo\v'ci- ' tpne : "That , then , Is one

with an uglynrtn , "It may bo the worwo

prince's earsjilwJiore minister jou are ; am
worse , again. It it conies to Uentlnck'e , who
I am told , Inl some trouble to jour grace

The duke's face was a picture. "Yoi
villain1" he said again , "what do jou want ? '
"For my silence ? '
"For yourBlleiicc ? No. What Is your aim
What Is jour object ? You betray one and
the other. The son of jour king to prlsoi

"What do I gain ? Whit shall I gain , joi

nlnglj "Only jour graco'a signature to a
Bcrap of paper give me that and I nm mum
nnd neither Herwlck nor jou will be a pelinj

"What , moncj' " cried my lord , surprised
I think.
"Oh , no , not money , ' said the plotter
coollj' . "And jet It may be moivej's wortl
to me over there. "
CHAPTER XXII.
"It Is this way , my lord , " he continued
after a pause. "Lord Mlddleton bald some
things over there In your grace's name
that would bo four years back ; but yet
never acted'on them , though It was whls
pered you paid dearly for them here. In the
Interval It has been the aim of n good many
to get' something more definite from jou
grace ; the rather ns you stand almost alone

you know of , having made their peace. Iu

this time , being versed In thcic affairs , I
leave such bargains to underlines. "
"Nevertheless , to this bargain jou must be
a party , " the other answered violently.
"Naj , my lord , but I can make you a party.
I have only to tell you a thing I know , and
w bother- you w 111 or no , for your own safety ,
jou must do what J ask. "
"For my own safety , Mr. Ferguson , I am
not in the habit of doing anything I would
not do for other reasons , " the duke answered ,
coldlj. "For the rest , If you have any
thing to tell me that concerns the king's
aerv ice "
"Which king ? " the plotter cried , with a
sneer.
"I acknowledged but one then , I say , I
will hear It. Dut I will neither do nor prom
ise anjthlng in return "
"You talk finely , " Ferguson cried. "But
jou cannot deny that before this I have told
things that were worth Knowing. "
"That were wortq men's lives , " my lord
answered , rpeaktng in a low , stern voice , and
looking at him with a loathing bcjond
wordy "Yes , Mr. Ferguson I acknowledge
that. That were worth men's llvee. And
It reminds me that jou aie growing old and
have blood on jour hands ; you only and God
know how much. But some I know ; the
proof of It lies In my office. If you will take
my advice , therefore , you will think rather
of quitting the world and making your
peace with heaven if by any means it can
bo done than of digging pits for better men
than jourself. > Mnn , " he continued , looking
fixedly at him , "do jou ever think of Ayloffe
and Sidney ? And Russell ? And Moumouth ?
And Cornish ? Of the men jou have egged
on to death and the men you have sold ! God
forgive you ! God -forgive jou , for men
never will. "
I should fall , and lamentably , were I to
try to describe either the etern feeling with
which my lord uttered this solemn address
the more solemn , nx It came from a young
man to an old one or the horild passion ,
born of rage , fear , and remorse commingled ,
with which the wretched intriguer received
it. When my lord had ceased to speak he
broke into the most fearful Imprecations
calling down vengeance not only on others
for wrongs done to him , but on his own
head If bo had ever done aught but what
was right ; and this rant he so sprinkled
with texts of ycripturo and scraps of the
old Covenanter's language , that for profanity
and blasphemy I never heard the like , The
duke , after watching this exhibition for a
while , with eyes of pity and horror , ended
by setting on hid hat and turning to the
door. This . -iidlced , as nothing else would
have , to bring the conspirator to his senses.
With a hideous chuckle , which brought his
tirade to a fitting conclusion , "Not so fast ,
my lord ! Not so fast , " ho cried. "The key
is In my pocket. I have roracthlng to say
before jou go. "
"In God's name , say It , then " the duke
ciled , bin face sick with disgust ,
"I will , " Ferguson answered hoarsely ,
leaning on the table which stood between
them and thrusting forward his chin , still
suffused with rage.nd see you how I will
confound you ! The duke of Berwick is In
England , my lord. The duke of Berwick is
in London. And , what Is worse , my lord , he
lies tonight at Or. Lloyd's In Hogsden Gar
dens. So take that Information to yourself ,
my lord secretary , and make what you can
of It , not forgetting the king's Interest. Ha !
ha ! I have jou tight there , I think ! "
His triumph , extreme and offensive as It
was , was justified by the consternation I
can call It by no other name which daik-
c'ncil the duku's countenance , as he listened ,
and held him a moment , speechless and mo
tionless glaring ut the other. At last , "And
you sent to me to tell me this ? " he cried ,
"I did ! I did ! And there Is no other living
man would Imvo thought of It or done It.
And why ? illecauso there U no man who can
play my cards but myself. "
"You devil ! " my lord cried , and wa si
lent.
lent.Seeing
Seeing that I know Ilttlo more on the euh-
ject than that the duke of Berwick was King
James' natural son and favorite , I was en
tirely at a loss to comprehend either the
duko's chagrin or Ferguson's very evident
triumph , The latter's first words , however ,
went far toward explaining his jubilating
and If they did not perfectly clear up my
lord's pcBltlon fully to enter into which re
quired a nobility of sentiment and a nicety
of honor on a par with his own they at least
enabled mo to guess vvhcro the shoe pinched ,
"D'yo take me now , my lord1 the plotter
cried with a savage grimace. "That concerns
the king's service , I think , and yet I dare
jou to make use of It , Ay , my lord secretary ,
I dare jou to mal.e use of It ! " ho repeated ,
his unwholesome face deep red with excite
ment "For why ? You know there will be a
day of reckoning prcsentlj and sooner , may. ,
hap , than some think , You know that.
Sooner or later It will come It will come ,
and then 'Touch not mine anointed ! ' Or ,
lather , touch but a hair of his Jamie's head ,
nnd his majesty'll no forgive. He'll no for-
glv e There w 111 be mercy for my Lord Dev-
oinhlre , and my lord admiral , uje , and for
that incarnate liar and devil , John Churchill !
Aye , even for him , for he has made all safe
both sides and so have the others But do
jou touch the king's blood , though it be
bastard do jou send tonight to the blahop's
and take him , and go on to what follows
and jou may kneel like Monmouth , and
plead like my Lady Itussell , and yet jou'll
to the axe and the sawdust when the time
comes ! Aj n , jou will ! You will 1 You will ! "
Though his harsh volco rrse almost to a
shriek with the lait words and the room
rang with them , the duke etood , mutely re
garding him , and made no answer ; and
after an interval Ferguson hirrnelt resumed ,
Y , BUT DID NOT ADDRESS HIM.

offer ? " "J"
"That yoil are : a fool as well as a knave ! '
was the duke's unexpected reply. Ho hai
recovered his equanimity , and took a pinch
of snuff as1 He spoke.
The plotter's eyes sparkled. "Why , " he
cried , with an oath , "and Is that language
for a gentleman ? "
"A gentleman ? Faugh ! " cried my lord
"And why ? Because jou suppose you :
word to be of value. Whereas you shouh
know that were you to go to Kensington anc
tell the king that jou had Informed me o
this or that or the other , and 1 denied It
jou would go to Newgate for certain , anc
to the pillory perhaps but I should bo noi
a penny the worse. Your word , forsooth
God , man , you aie crazeo' ! "
"Aye , but if I have had you follower
hero ? " the othei unswered , savagely. "II
I can produce three witnesses to prove yoi
were with me today , and by stealth ! And
by stealth , my lord , what then ? "
"Why , then this , " the duke aiiswcrcrt will
composure. "And it Is my answer. I shall
go hence to tell the king and tell him all ;
and on your information , Mr. Ferguson , the
duke of Berwick -will be arrested. 'What
ever my fate or his after that , I shall at
least have done my duty and kept my oath
as a privy councillor , and the rest I leave
to God. But for you. " ho continued , slowly
and with solemnity , "who , to gain a hold on
me , have betrayed the son of jour king ,
your fate be on jour own head. "
The plotter , who , I think , had expected
any answer but this , and , it may bo , had
never considered his own position should the
duke stand firm , i oared out a furious "You
llo ! " And then , again , in a frenzy , as the
consequences rose more clearly before him ,
"You lie ! " ho cried , striking his hand on
the table. "You will not do it ! You will
not dare to do ft' ' "
"Mr. Ferguson , " the duke answered ,
haughtily. "I do not suffer persons of jour
condition to tell mo what I dare or do not
dare , or persons of any condition to give mo
the He. Be good enough to open the door ? "
"Sign the paper ! " the conspirator hissed.
His face , at no time sightly , was now dis
torted by fear and the rage of defeat , while
the chair on the back of which he leaned his
left hand jerked this way and that as If
the palsy had him. "Sign the paper , will
you ? Or your blood be on your own head ! "
ho cried ,
The duke's only answer was to point to the
door with hla cane. "Open It ! " he said , his
breath coming n little quickly , but hla man
ner otherwise unmoved , "Do you hear me } "
But either Ferguson' rage had so much
the mastery of him that he could no longer
control himself , or he was desperate , seeing
Into what , an 'abyss'the other's-flrmncra was
pushing him ; or from the fin > t ho had deter
mined on thtytcourse as ( he last resort. At
any rate , at that , and , Instead of complying ,
ho fell back a step , and , with a dark face ,
drew a pistol from the pocket of his long
coat. "Sign ! " be cried , his voice whittling
In his throatjas ho levelled the arm at my
lord's head jpSJfiu , you Roman devil , or I'll
eplll your * w jjlBl Your time has como.
Sign , or you'tky/l go out of this room alive ,
you Papist sfiawn ! Has the Lord's foot been
put on the nock of his enemies that such as
you should divide the [ x > ll ? ' ;
There was nothing to sign , for ho had not
croduced the papfcr. But In the delirium of
fear and excltemimt Into which ho had fallen
ho was unc-otKM us of this , und of nil else
except that he w s In danger of falling Into
the pit ho h itJJfeged for another. His hand
shook so > iolwitl/ that every moment I o\-
pected the PHWf Jo explode , with hie will or
without Itrhafi fears no less than his despair
putting my lord In danger What he who
stood thus exposed to naked death thought
In his heart-n-htlo his existence hung on u
ihaklng finger , I cannot say , nor If lie prayed ,
for no man talked lees of religion , to be , as
I trust he vvurt , a believer ; while the pride
which supported him In that crisis was as
powerful to close his llpe after the event
"Put that down1' ! be eald , and met lhn
other's eyes without blanching , though 1
think he was a trifle paler than ho had been
"Sign ! " answered the madman , with an
oath.
"Put It down ! " repeated the duke , and
without doubt his courage by Imposing a re
straint on ilio other's headlncss postponed ,
thoughult could not avert , the catastrophe.
Every second they stood thus confronting onu
another , Ferguson grinning and gibbeting to
him to sign , I looked to see the pistol ex-
ploJe and my lord fall IKelctd. My kites *
shook under me ; horrified at thla muider to
be committed under my eyes , scarce con
scious what J did or would do , I fumbled
for the handle of the door which , luckily ,
was beside me ; and found It prrcUcly ai the
duke , with a twirl cf hU cane as uwlft as It
was unexpected , Knocked the pistol aside auJ
sprang bodily on the villain , fttrlvlngi to bear
him down , for ho had no time to draw.
He was the jounger man by twenty jeara ,
and the more active , It not the more power
ful ; so that for an InsUnt It seemed to me
that the dinger was over , but I counted
without Ferguson , who , leaping back before
the other could grapple with him , with a
nlmblcncss bejond he jenrs , put the table
between them , and levelling the pistol
afrcah , with n enarl of rngc , pulled the trig
ger. The flint snapped harmlre'ly
More than that 1 could not heir , and by
heaven's mercy the movement had brought
the wretch close to the door at which I
etood , ami which I Imd that moment opened ,
As he aimed the pistol a second time , and
with a fmsh execration , I flung my arms
round htm from behind nnd with my right
ha'nd Jerked up the pl tel , which exploded ,
bringing down an avalanche of plaster nnd
filling the room with smoke and brimstone
An lnterpo < ltlon so sudden nnd timely nni't
have been no Iras n surprise to the duke
than to FergtMon Nevertheless the former ,
without the los of n moment , flung himself
on his antagonist , nnd , seizing the pistol
while I still clung to him behind , In a twink
ling hid him dlisnrmed Yet , even when
thla was done , so furious were the mon's
struggles , and eo Inhuman the strength he
d'splnjed , even to biting and foaming In a
fury that could only be called mnnlacil.
that It wan ns much ae wo could both do to
conquer him , though we were two to one
and jounger , nor would he be quiet or re
sign himself to detent until we hnd him
down on his back with my lord's swordpolnt
at his th out.
Then It wns that , wlillq , we etood over
him , panting and trembling with the ex
ertions we had made , my lord turned his
tjes on me. "Who are jou , " he said , "my
friend1
I could not apeak for emotion , and though
ho" was calmer , I could sec that he was
deeply stirred , now ho had leisure to think ,
both by the risk he hnd run nnd the nnr-
rowneea of his escnpe. "My lord , " I ctled
at last , "takeme away. "
"From here ? " ho said ,
"Yes , " I said , "for God's sake , for Gol's
sake , take mo away. " And I burst Into an
uncontrollable fit of nobbing , eo overcome
was I by whit had happened and what had
almost happened ,
Hr looked nt me , his own lip twitching n
little , and his breast heaving. "He easy ,
man , " ho said. "Were jou bet to watch
me ? "
"
"Yes , " I said. '
"And jou heard all ? " I
"All. "
"Who are jou ? " he said ngaln.
"Two months ago I was an honest mnn , "
I answered , bitterly. "And then I got Into
hla clutches. Ami he has ridden me. Ah ,
how ho has ridden me ! "
"I sec , " he said nodding gravely. "Well ,
hla riding dajs are over. Hark you , Mr.
Fercuson , " he continued , turning to the
prostrate rren , who , groveling before us 1
had taken the precaution of tying his hands
with my garter acknowledged his attention
by n hollow moan , "I am no thief taker nnd
I bhall not fioll my hands with jou. But
within an hour the messengers will be hero
and If they find you look to jourself , for I
think In that case jou will Indubitably hang.
In the meantime I will take jour pistol. '
Then to me : "Como my man , " he said , If
jou wish to go with mo. "
"I do , " I cried. . _ . „ . .
"Well , I owe you more than that , he
sild , klndlj"And I need you , besides Mr.
Ferguson , I bid you farewell. You have
proved jourself a more foolish man than I
thought jou. A worse jou could not. The
beet I can now wish you is that jou may
never see my face again. "
CHAPTER XXIII.
My lord , I found , had a coach , without arms
or Insignia , waiting for him at the great
turnstile In Holborn , where If persons recog
nized him as he alighted he would be taken
to have business with the lawjcrs In Lin
coln's Inn , or at my Lord Somers In the
Fields. Following him ta It on foot I saw
a man walk in more deep or anxious thought.
He took no more heed of me , after bidding
me by a gesture to attend him ; but twice he
stood in doubt , and once he made as It he
would return whence we had come , and once
as If he would cross the Fields I think to
Povvls bouse. In the end , however , he went
on. and arriving at the coach , the door of
which a footman in plain llverj held open
for him , he baile me by a sign to follow him
Into It. This I waa not for doing , thinking
it too great an honor ; but on him crjing Im
patiently , "Man , how do you think I am
to talk to jou if jou ride outside ? " I has
tened to enter lu equal confusion and hu
mility.
Nevertheless some time elapsed , and we
had traveled the length of Holborn before
he spoke. Then rousing himself on a sudden
from his preoccupation , he looked at me.
"Do jou know a man called Barclay ? " said
he
"No , jour grace , " I answered.
Sir George Barclay ? "
'No , jour grace. "
'Or Porter ? Or Charnock ? Or King ? "
'No , your grace "
'Umph ! " said he , seeming to be dlrap
pointed , and for a time he looked out of tin
window. Presently , however , he glanced a
me again , and so closely that I dropped my
eyes out of respect. "I ha've seen jou some ,
where before ! " he laid at last.
Surprised bejond measure that he remcm
berod me , so many years had elapsed , I con
fessed with emotion that be had.
"Where ? " he asked plainly. "I see many
people. And I have not old Rowley's mem
ory , my friend.
I told him. "Your grace may not remcm
her It , " I said greatly moved , "but many
jears ago at Abbot's Starstead , at Sir Hald-
wln Winston's "
"What ? " ho exclaimed , cutting ire short ,
with a flicker of laughter In his grave eyts
And ho looked me over. "Did I flesh my
maiden Justice-sword on jou ? Were jou the
lat ) who ran away ? "
"Yes my lord the lad whofce life jou
saved , " I answered.
"Well , then , we are quits , " he hud the
kindness to answer , looking at mo with seri
ous klndners ; and asked me how I had lived
since those days.
I told him , naming Mr. Timothy Bromc
and eajlng that he would give mo a char
acter. The mention of the nowswrlter hov/-
ever , had a dlffeient effect from that I ex-
peeled ; his gince conceiving a hasty Idea
that he ateo was concerned with Ferguson ,
and crying out , under this impression , that
If such men were turning , It was vain to
fight against the stream , I hastened to dis
abuse him of the notion by explaining howj
came to fall Into Ferguson's hands. On
which ho asked mo what I had done for the
plotter , and how he had emplojed me
"Ho would send me on errands , " I an
ew cicd , and to fetch papers from the print
ers and to carry his mebsages. "
"To coffee lioufces ? "
' 'Often , your" grace. "
"Did he ever send you to Covcnt uarden ?
ho asked , loeldng'fixedly at me.
"Yes , your grace , to a gentleman with a
white handkerchief hanging fiom hl.s
[ locket , "
"Ha ! " he exclaimed , and with an eager
light In his face he bade me tell him all I
rinow of that mail. This giving mo the cue ,
[ detailed what I had seen and heard nt the
Seven Stars the evening before , the toast
of the squeezing of the rotten orange , the
hints which had escaped the drunken cou-
bplrator , nnd particularly his references to
the hunting party and the date Saturday
ir Saturday week. Adding also what I had
earned from the girl , but mentioning for
his no authority. To all my lord listened at-
entlvely , nodding from moment to moment ,
and at last "Then Porter Is not lying this
line , " ho said , drawing a deep breath "I
'cured but here wo are ! Follow me , my
friend and keep close to me , "
Engrossed In my story , and the attention
hat was duo to tils rank and kindness , I
laid no heed either to the way we had come
or to our gradual passage from the smoke
and babble of London to country air and
stllluee , ) . A vague notion that wo were still
raveling the Oxford road was all I retained ,
and thla was rudely shaken when , recalled
o the present by bis words , I looked out
and discovered that the coach was bowling
along an avenue of lofty trees with park-like
laetures stretching on either hand. I had
10 more than time to note eo much , and
hit the horees were slackening their pace ,
> efore w rumbled undkr an archway andrew
row up In a spacious courtyard shut lu on
our eldea by warm-looking red brick build-
n us , whereof that wing under which we had
riven was surmounted by u quaintly shaped
bell turret.
Ignorant where my lord lived , and Ilttlo
acquainted with the villages which lie
around London , I supposed that he had
brought me to his house. 'I he sight of a
couple of sentries , who walked with aimb
ported before a wide , low flight of Htepn ,
which led to the principal entrance from
the courtyard , should have enlightened me ,
but n flock of pigeons that , dloturbcd by our
entrance , were now settling down ngiln and
beginning to strut the gravel with the most
absurd air of possctMon , caught my atten
tion nml diverted me from this mark of
stnte. Nor did n knot of servants , lounging
silently under n portico or two or three
sedans which I espied , waiting a little npnrt ,
go far to detract from thp general air of
pence nnd quietude which prevailed In the
plnce Other observations 1 had no tlmo to
make , for my lord , mounting the steps bade
mo somewhat Impatiently to follow him
I did so , across a spacious hall floored
with shining wooel laid In strange patterns
Hero were three or four servant ! " , who stood
at attention , but did not approach , and hl
grace- , pissing them without notice , had
reached the foot of n wldo and handsome
stnlicnse before n person drrs cd plainly In
black nnd rarrjlng n tall , slender wnnd nd-
vnnced nnd with a low bow Intorpo'cd him
self.
"Your grnco'a pardon ! " he said. "The
council hna broken up "
'Mlow long' "
"About half an hour"
"Ah1 And Loid Somors ? Did he go back
to town nt once'1
"Yes , jour grace , Immedlnlelj. "
The duke nt Hint naked n question which I ,
standing hack n little out of respect nnd
being nwcd besides by the grandeur of the
place nnd the bllence did not entch The
answer , however , "Onlj Lord Portland , jour
grnce , nnd Mr Sew ell , " 1 heard , anJ like
wise the duke's rejoinder. " 1 am going tip"
"You will permit me to annuiiitos jour
grace ? " the other , who seemed to be ome-
thlng between a gentleman and n servant ,
answered quickly
"No,1 my loid said "I am In hnste nnd I
have that which will bo mj warranty. Tills
person goes with mo"
"I hope your grace will answer for It ,
then , " the man In black replied iepi'ctfullj ,
but with a little hesitation In lili tone.
"That jou are not blnmed Kash' " the
duke rejoined , with good nntuie. "Ye-s , jes ,
I will. And now , let us up. "
