CHIU'TKU XII Continued.
Monmouth's strange suhinlBsIon won no
praise. M. da I'crrencourt dm ilot accord the
speech so much couitcsy us lay In an an
swer. Ills silent , slight bow was oil Ilia
acknowledgment. He stood there waiting
for hlo command to be obeyed.
Monniouth turnel oneo toward Harbaia ,
liut Ws ejc-s came back to M de I'oircncourt.
Carford advanced to him and offered his arm.
The duke laid his hand on his frlcnd'n shoul
der. For a moment they stood still thus ,
< tnon both bowed low to M. do 1'errencourt , J
who answered with another of. his blight lt -
dilutions of the head. They turned and
walked out of the hnll , the duke teeming
almost to Btaggcr , and to loan on Carford ,
as though he bought to steady his steps.
lAa they 'vent they passed vvltiiln two jards
ot me , and I iavv Monmouth'a face pale with
luge. With , a long indrawlng of my breath
1 drew back Into the sludow of my shelter.
They passed , the hnll was empty s < uo for
mjself and the two who stood there by tin
wall.
I had rio thought now of justlfjlng my
jiart of eavcsdroppei. Scruples were
drowned In excitement. Keen Interest bound _
ano to my place with oh\ins oC Iron My i
brain was full of previous suspicion thrice j
magnified ; all that vuis mysterious in thh

surprised At Canterbury lang echoing
throne' ' my hr.nl again xud again. Yet I
bent myself to the task of listening , reso
lute to catch every word. Alua ! my efforts
ncro In vain. .M. do I'errcncourt was of
dlffeicnt cluy from ills grace the duke. He
was Indeed speaking now , but so low and
rwarlly that no moro than a gentle murmur
reached ; my ears. Nor did his gestures aid.
They were as far from Monmouth's Jovial violence
lence us his tones from the duke's reckless
exclaiming. He was urgent but courteous ,
most Insistent jet most deferential. < Mon-
inouth claimed und challenged. M. dc I'er
rcncourt seemed to beseech and woo. Yet
lie asked as though none could refuse , and
Ills prayer presumed a favorahlo answer.
Barbara listened In quiet. I could not tell
whether fear alone bound her , or whether the
soft , courtly volco bred fascination also. I
was half mad that I could not hear , and had
much ado [ not to rush out , unprovoked , and
defy the man before whom my master had
bowed almost to the ground , heafen and dis
mayed.
At last she spoke few hurried. Imploring
iwords.
"No , no , " she panted. "No , pray leive me ,
no. "
M. do I'errcncourt answcicd gently and be-
ecechlngly :
"Nay , say 'not yet , ' madam. "
They were silent ugaln , ho seeming to re
gard her Intently. Suddenly she covered her
face with her hands ; yet , dropping her lands
almost Immediately , she sot her oyea on his. I
saw him shake his head.
"For tonight , then , good-night , fairest
lady , " said he Ho took her hand and kissed
It lightly , bowing vgry low and respectfully ,
ehe looking do MI it him as he stooped. Then
lie drew , away f om her , bowing again and re
peating again
"For tonight , good-night. "
With this he turned toward the stalls ,
crossing the hall with the same brisk , confi
dent trend that had marked Ihi : entry Ho
THIS TIME SHK ANSWKilHb WITH
DBUP AND BWUKPINQ COUHTKSY.
Jott her , hut It looked as though she wore Indulged -
dulged , not he defeated. At the lowest step
he paused , turned , unwed low again , Tlila
tlmu slio onewcreil with a deep and sweeping
courtesy. Then ho was gone , and she was
leaning by the wall ugnln her face burled
In her hands. I heard her sob and her broken
words reached mo :
" \Vlmt shall I doT O , what shall I do ? "
At ouco I stepped out from the hiding place
that had ihown mo such strange things , nnd ,
crossing to lior , hat In hand , answered heii
old , desolate question.
"Why , trust In your frlondi , Mistress Bar-
Iwra , " said I cheerily , "What else can any
lady doT"
"Simon ! " uho cried eagerly , and , aa I
thought , gladly , for her haud flew out to
wire. "You her ? "
"And at > our service ahvnvs , " said I
"Hut have jou been here ? Whore did you
como from ? "
"Why. from act eta the hall , behind the
chair there. " I nuswerrd. "I've been tharo a
long whllo back. Ills grcco told mo to wait In
the hall , and In the hall J'vo waited , the.- . :
( bo duke , having other thing * to think of ,
forgot both hU order and hU servant. "
"Then juu heard ? " she ar.lanl In a vvlitnucr.
"All , 1 ( Mule , tint the duke bald. Lord
.Carford Mid nothing. I was about to In-
I tcrrupt his grarc when the task was bctt.r
performed for me I think , madam , > ou owe
some thinks to M. do 1'errencourt. "
"You heard what ho said ? "
"Tho last few words only , " I nn wcred re
gretfully ,
She looked at mo for in InsUnt and then
said with a dreary little smile :
"I'm to ho grateful to M. de I'crrcncourt. "
"I know no ether man who could or would
have rid ymt of the , duke so finely. Ucsldr.l
he appeared to treat you with much court'sy "
"Courtesy , yes ! " she cried , but seemed to
Icheck herself. She wan still In a great aglM-
ftlon. and i moment htcr she covered her
I fuco end I heard her sob again.
"Come , iako heart , " sold I. "Tho duke's a
great man , of course , hut no harm nhull como
to you , Mistress Ilarbara. Your father bade
mo have my services In readiness for you ,
and , although I didn't need his order as a
rinir , I tiny pray leave to use It as nn cxcuso
for thrusting myself on you. "
"Indeed , I I'm glad to EDO > ou , Simon.
Out wKU nln 11 t do ? Ah , heaven , why did I
over cfine to this pbce ? "
"That can bo mended by leaving It ,
madam. "
"Hut how ? How tan I leave It ? " she asked
dcflpahlngly.
"Tho duchosa will grant you leave. " I
"Without the kliig'H consent ? "
"Hut won't the king consent ? Madam will
< IBK iur you ; snug Kinu.
" .Madame won't ask for mo ; nobody will
ask fcr me. "
"Then , If IM\O be Impossible , wo must go
without leave If jou speak the word. "
"Ah. you don't know , " she said sadly.
Then she caight my hand again and whlcooicd
.hurriedly . a d fearfully : "I'm afraid. Simon.
11 I fear him. What can I do ? How can I
I resist ; they can do what they will with me.
'what ' can I do' If I weep they laugh ; IT I
try to laugh they take It for consent. What l
lean I do ? " ,
j Tl'tro Is nothing that so binds a nun to a
wonnn as to feel her hand seeking his In
weakness and appeal. I had thought that onu |
day co Hirtara's might seek mine , nnd I'
should exult ! o It , nay , might even lot her I
( icrcclvo my triumph. TIP ! thing I ludi
dreamed ofvas come , but where was my
cMiltitlon ? There was a choking In my
throat and I swillowrd twice befoie I con
trived to answer.
"What can wo do , you moan. Mlstiees n.ir-
Ixira. "
"Alas , alas ! " she cried , between tcnra and
laughter , "what ran we even we do ,
Simon ? " I
I noticed that she called me Simon , as In i
the old dajs before my aipostacy and great !
offense. I was glad of It , fcr If I vas to bo
of service to her wo must bo friends , . Sud-1
tlcaly she said- ' '
"You know what It means r can't tell you ;
jou know ? "
"A > e I know , " tald I. "Mono better. But
the duke Rl < an't have hl.3 way. "
"Iho duke ? If It were enly the duke
Ah ! " She stopped , a new alarm In her
ejes. She searched ray face eagerly. Of
delibMrato purpj-ip I set It to nn Immutable
stoll llty.

him. and Kent him off crestfallen "
She laid her hand on mv arm.
"If 1 might tell you , " she said , "a thing
that fe-w Know bore ; none1 but ihc King and
his near kindivd and ono or two more "
"But how came vou to Know of U ? " I
Icitpnuptcil
"I I also cano ; to know It , " she mm mined.
"There are many wajs of coming to Kiiow
a thing , " said I. "One Is by helut ? told ;
another , madimp , l by finding out.
CeiUlnly it was nma lug how iM. dr > 1'er-
rrncoupt dealt with his grace , nje , ami with
my Lord Carfoid , who sliiank out of his
path as though he- had been a king. " I let
my tones glvo the last word full effect
"Simon. " she whispered In eagerness
mingled with alarm. "Simon , what mo you
saying ! Silence , for your life ! "
"My life , midnme. Is rooted too deep for
a syllable to tear it up. I paid only ' < ts
though ho had been a king ! ' Tell me why
M. Colbert wears the king's star ? Was It
because somebody saw a gentleman wealing
the King's star cmbinco and kiss M. de
I'crrencourt the night that he arrived ? "
"It was jou. "
"It was 1 , madame Tell mo on whobo
account three messengers went to London
carrying the words 'II vlc-nt ! ' "
She was hanging- niy arm now , full of
eagerness.
" 'And tell mo now- what ( M. de Pencil-
court said to j-ou. A plague on him , he spoke
so low that I couldn't hear ! "
A blnsh swept over her face ; her cjes ,
losing the lire of excitement , dropped In con
fusion to the ground.
"I can't tell you , " she murmured.
"Yet I know , " said I. "And If you'll trust
me , niadamo "
"Ah , Simon , j-ou know I trust you. "
"Yet you went angry with me"
"Not angry I had no light I mean. I
had no eauso to bo angry. I I was grieved. '
"You need bo grieved no longer , madaine. '
"Poor Simon ! " .said she very gently. 1
felt the lightest pressure on mv hand , the
touch of two slliii fingers , speaking of
sympathy aiii comradeship.
"lly ( ! od , I'll bring you fsnto out ot It , " I
cried
"Hut how , how ? Simon , I ftar that he
liar. "
"Tho duke ? "
"No , the -the other M. do Pcrreneourt ;
he- has sot his heart on on what ho told me.
"iA man nmy sot his hcait on a thing-and
yet not win it , " asld I , grimly.
"Yes , a man yes , Simon , I know ; a man
maj"Aye. . and even a "
' 'Hush , hush ! If jon wore- overheard
your Ufa wouldn't bo safe If you were over-
hoard. "
"What do I care ? "
"Hut I care ! " she cried , ami added very
hastily , "I'm selfish. I care , bccauso I want
your help. "
"You shall have It. Against the duke of
Monniouth and against the "
"All , bo careful. "
I would not bo careful. My blood was up.
My voice was loud and bold as I gave to M.
do Perroncaurt the name that was his , tha
name by which the frightened lord nnd the
cowed duke know him , the name that gave
him entrance tp these Inmost secret confer
ences , and yet kept him himself hidden and
half a prisoner In the castle , The secret was
no secret to mo now.
"Against the duk of Monmouth , " mid I
sturdily. "And , also , if need be , against the
king of France. "
Barbara caught at my arm In alarm. I
laughed , till I saw her finger point warily
over my shoulder with a Btart I turned and
saw a man coming down the stctis. In the
dim light the bright star gleamed on Ms
breast. Ho was M. Colbert do Croissy. Ho
stood on the lowest step , peering at us
through the gloom.
"Who Fvoaka of the king ot Franco hero ? '
ho said suspiciously.
"I , Simon Dale , gcntloman-ln-waltlng to
the duke of Monmouth , at your excellency's
service , " I answered , stepping toward him
and making my tiovv.
"What have you to say of my master ? " he
demanded.
For a moment I vvtw at a loss , for although
my heart was full of things that I should
liavo taken much pleasure In eaylng concern' '
lag his majesty , there vveio none ot them ac
ceptable to the cars of his majesty's envoy.
I stood looking at Colbert , and my eyes fell
on the star that ho woreI knew that I com
mitted on Imprudence , but for the llfn of ma
I could not withstand the temptation , I made
another bow , and umlllng cosily , answered
M. Colbert.
"I was remarking , sir. " said I , "that the
compliment paid to you by the king of Eng
land In bestowing on you the star from his
majcnty's own breast could not fall to causa
mud' ' gratification to the king of France. "
Ho looked mq hard In the eyes , yet bin eyca
'ell to the ground luforo mine. I warrant ho
took nothing by his starching glance , and dIJ
well to fc'lvoj ( the conflict , Without a word ,
aud with a tlff little bow , ho jxirrci ou hla
way to the hall. The moment he was gone
Harbara was by mo. Her face was alight
with merriment , '
"Oh , Simon. Simon1" she \vhlsperpd reprov
ingly. "Hut 1 loVe joti for'ft I" And she was
gone u. thu stairs lllu > a flitting mo.tibaim.
Upon this , 1 , having mv head full and to
spare of many millers , and my heart bLMtlnc
quick with nirro than ono omotlon , thought
my bcil the best and safest p'.ico for me , nd
loralred to It without delaj- .
"Hut I'll have eomo convcirratlom with M
do I'crrencourt tomorrow , " cald I , as I turneJ
on my pllldw and sought to sleep.
CHAPTBU XIII.
Tim MIID OF cuiuosm-
The next morning my exultation had cone.
I wclte a prey to despondcncj- slclness
of cxiill. Not only did dlfilculty loom iarg' >
and failure seem Inevitable , but a dlsguat
for alt that surrounded mo seized on my
mind , displacing the zest of adventure and
the excitement of enterprise. 13ut let me
not set my virtue too high. It U better to
be plain. Old maxims of morality and a
standard of right acknowledged by all but
observed by none have little power over a
joung man's hot blood. To be stirred to In
dignation he must see thrwreng threaten
one he reopccts , touch one he loves , or men
ace his own honor and pride I lad sup
ported the eoimlals of this court , of which
I made a humble part , with shruga , smiles
and acid Jcstt , . I had felt no dislike for the
thief actors and r.o horror at the th'nga
taoy did or attempted. Naj , for one of them
who might seem to sum up In her own per
son the worot of all that was to be urged
against king and court , I had cherlthcd a
desperate love that bred even In death an
oLiUlnate rnd lorglng memory Now a
change had cctne- over me I seemed to ste
no longer through my own carelc. s ojes , but
with the shamed and terrified \ slrn of the
girl who , cast Into this furmce , caught at my

hand ns offering her the eolo chance to pass
ucscathed through the fire. They were u 'ug
her In their schemes She wi , ? to be sacri
ficed First she had been chosen 2.3 the lure
with which to draw forth Moamouth's ambl-
tloiif from their lair and reveal them to the
spjing ojes of York and lite tool. Carford
If that plan were changed now she \\oitK

and could refuse- this .M dePcricncourt I
laughed bitterly as I muttered his name
noth'ng. however great.Vlthout a thought
he would lllng the girl , to him , if the all-
powerful finger were raised to aak for her.
Charles would think himself well paid by hla
brother king's complaisance tcward his own
Inclination. Doubtless there wcro great bir.
galnu of policy a-maklng here In the castle ,
and the nature of them I made shift to guess ,
What was It to throw In a trifle oa either
side , barter Barbara Qulnton against the
French lady , anu cement , iwo pniicra ac a
price so lov aa the dishonor ot two ladles ?
That was the gameotheiwlse
whence came M. de Perrencourt'a
court and Monmouth'a deference' ' The
kins saw eje to eje with M. de 1'errencourt ,
and the king's son did not venture tothvvait
him. What matter that men spoke of otlur
loves which the French king had ? The gal
lants of Paris might think us in England rude
and Ignorant , but at least we learned that f.
largo heart waa ai prerogative ot royalty
which even the Parliament dared not ques
tion. With a now Icathlng I loathed It all.
for It seemed now to laj4 aside Its tripplnpn
of pomp and brilliancy , of Jest and wit , and
display Itself before rno In ugly nakedness ,
all unashamed. In sudden frenzy I eat up
In mj bed , crying , "Heaven will find a waj- . ' '
For t-urely heavcucould find one , where
dovll found BO many. Ah , righteous wort
thou , Simon Dale , so soon oa unrighteousness
hurt thee. Hut Phlneas Tate .might have
preached until the end of time.
Earlier than usual iby an hour Jonah
Wall came up from the town vvhero ho was
lodged , but he found me up anJ dressed ,
eager to act. readj * for what might chance
I hid seen little of the fellow lately , calling
on him for necessary services only and
rUding nijsclf of his aomber company aa
quickly aa I could. Yut I looked on him
today with 111010 consideration ; his was a
renulAlvo foim of righteousness , gilin and
gloomj' , hut It was ilghteousness , or seemed
Biub to mo against .the ( background of In
iquity which throw ) It up In strong relief , i
apoko to him kindly , hut , taking no heetl
of my advances , ho came straight up to mo
and said brusquely : "The woman who
came to jour lodging In Louden Is hero In
Dover. She bids you bo silent and como
quickly. I can lead you. "
I started and at ami at htm. I had set
"Finis" to1 that chapter ; waa fate minded to
overrule mo and writs more ? Strange also
that Jonah Wall should play Mercury.
"Sho hero In Dover ! For what ? " I asked ,
as calmly as I could.
"I don't doubt for sin , " he answered uncompromising
compromising- ! .
"Yot you can lead mo to her house ? " said
I , with a smile ,
"I can , " said ho. In &our disregard of my
hinted banter.
"I won't go , " I declared.
"Tho matter concerns jou , eho said , and
might concern another. "
It was oaily ; the court would not bo
moving for two hours jet. I could go and
come , and thereby lose no opportunity. Cu
riosity let ] mo oa and with It the attraction
which still dravvd us to those wo 1mo loved ,
though tha love bo feono and moie pain
than pleasure wait on our visiting. In tea
minutes I was following Jonah down the
cliff and plunged thence Imio a narrow
street that ran curling end carving toward
the aea. Jonah held on quickly and with
out hesitation until wo .reached a confined
alloy and came to a halt before a mean
house.
"SJio'a here , " said Jonah , pointing to the
door and twisting his fnco aa though he
were swallowing something nauseous.
I could not doubt of her pretence , lor I
heard her volco Ringing gayly from within ,
My heart beat quick , ami I had half a mind
not < to enter. Hut she had seen us , and tier-
self 11 u UK Iho door wldo open , She lodged
on the ground door , and In obedience to
her beckoning finger I entered a small
room , Lodging was hard to bo had in
Dover now end the apartment seived her
( as the bed , carelessly covered with a cur
tain , showed ) for sleeping and living. I did
not notice whit ibernmo of Jonah , but eat
down , puzzled and awkward , In a crazy
chair ,
"What brings you hero ? " I blurted out ,
fixing my eyes on her , as she stood opposite
to mo , smiling and swaying to and fro a
little , with tier hands on her lilps.
"E/ven what brings you. My buslneta , "
she answered. "If youeik more , the king's
Invitation. Does that grieve you , Simon ? "
"No madam , " said ) I.
"A little , still a llttlo , Simon ? 13o con
soled I The king juvltod me , but ho hasn't
como to sco me' There lies my hiulne&i.
\Vhy h > isn't he come to sco int-f I JoJr ccr-

counted good , If 'tiot ' large , can't plcrco the
\\3JIS of the castle and < feet

nni''t lit to piss Its threshold. "
' 'you needn't grieve for that , " said I sul-
"Vet some things I Know. As that a
French lady Is the.ro Of what appearance Is
she , Simon ? "
"Sho Iscry pretty , so far "is I've looked
at her. "
"Ah , and jou'vc a discriminating glahoe ,
haven't j-ou ? Will she stay long ? "
"They say madame will bo 4icro tor ten or
fourteen dnjs jet. "
"And the French lady goes wheu madasni !
goes ? "
"I don't know "
an to that.
"Why , nor t neither. " She paused an in
stant "You don't love Lor.l Carforl ? " Her
question came abruptly and unlookcd for.
"I don't kiuv jour moaning' ' What con-
ctrn had Carfo-il wl'h th" From1' ' ! lady ?
"I think you are n the vu > y to leiin It.

Had It not been lor that morning's mood of
nilno eho would hav > von i"i me again , and
all my resolutions gMio for naught. Hut she ,
not knowing the vvoiklng or my mind , to'k
nj ralra to hide or to soften what repelled
mo In her. I had seen It before , and jet
loved ; to her It woull seem strange that bc
cause a man saw * he should not love. 1 found
myself sorrv Kr her with a new and piti

"Ha Hue. I have no love for them. What
then ? hat can wo da ? "
She leaked round cautiouslj- , and coming
a little nearer to me , whispered :
"Lato last night I had a visitor , one who
does not love mo greatlj. What does thai
matter ? We row now In the same boat. 1
speaK of the duke of Buckingham. "
"He Is icconclled to my Lord Arlington by
niadanio's good offices , " said I. For so the
Btorv lan In the castle.
"Why , jes , he Is reconciled to Arlington as
tlio do to the cat when their master Is by.
Now , there's a thing that the duke suspecta ,
and there's another thing that he knows. He
suspects that th's treaty touches more than
war with thu Dutch , though that I hate , for
war swallows the King's money like a well. "
"Somo passes the mouth of the well , If re
port speaks true , " I obbeivcd.
"Peace , peace , Simon ; the treaty touches
mo e. "
"A man need not bo duke nor minister to
suspect that , " said I.
"Ah , you suspect ? The king's religion ? "
eho whlspeied.
I nodded. The secret was no surprise to
me , though I had not known whether Buck
ingham were In It.
"And what does the duke of Buckingham
know ? " I asKcd.
"Why , that the king sometimes listens tea
a woman's counsel " said she , nodding her

"Ilejond doubt , er. ! But the French king

"Oh , from Calais ! The duke revealed
that to you ? " I asked with a emlle I could
not smother There was a limit then to
the duko's confidence In his ally ; for the
duke had 'been Paris
at und could be mo
stranger to M. de 1'errencourt.
"Yea , ho told me all. The king of Franco

"And for reward "
"I know. Ills llfo If ho can como off

Nell hurst out laughing.
"Ho didn't say that , but It may well

"You should hn\e a revengp on my face ;
not In kind but In kindness I can't strike
a man who won't hit back. " She laughed
at mo with all her old enticing gajety.
I liad almost srdled the Inrgaln ; she was
so roguish and so prcttj' . Had we met first
thprc * , It Is very likely she would have made
the offer and very certain that t should
have taken It. Hut Uiero had been ether
days , I filtched.
"I loved you too wp.l once to kiss jou now ,

"You're mighty strai. cat times , Simon , "

At this Instant and since man Is human ,

In a house vvhero Nell lived ( It she will
pardon so much candor ) , bntf oddly familiar
to me. I held up my hand and listened.
Nell's rlppllm laugh broke In.
"Plague on him. " shu "led. "Yes , ho s

and the fool ainusis inc. "
"I'hituas Tate ? " I exclaimed , nmnzcd , w

Btcrs back toward the castle The ccur
v.ou'd be awake , and whether on my own ae
count or for my new commission's sake I
must lie there.
I had not mounted far befcre I heard a
pufH-Jf ; and blowing beh'nd. The souni
ijioved to como fiom Jorah Wall , who was
tolling after me , 1-irten with a large basket
I had no eigoiiiess fcr Jonih'.i toclety , but
rejoiced to see the basket for my prlva c
store of food and wine had run low , and If u
man Is to find out what lie wants to know
It is well fcr n I m to have a pasty and a.
bottle ready for those who can help hl.n.
"What have you there ? " I called , waiting
for him to overtake me.
Ho ew lalncd that he had been making pur-
clir.icb In the town and I praised his zeal.
Then I a keil him suddenly
"And have you \UlteJ jour friend , Mr.
Tate ? "
As I live the fellow want suddenly pale ,
ami the bottles clinked In his basket from
the shaking of his hand. Yet I spoke mliuiy
enough.
"I I have been him 'but ' once or twice ,
sir , olnce I learred that he was In town. I
thought jou did not wish HIP to see him. "
"Nu > , jou can see him as much as you
llko so long as 1 don't. " I answered , In a
careless tone , ibut keeping an attentive eje
on Jonah. HU peitniibaition seemed strange.
If Phlneas' business were only the con
version of Mistress Owjnn , what reason
had Jonau Wall to go white as Dover cllfta
over H ?
We came to the castle and J dismissed
him , bidding him stow his load safely in
my quarters. Then I icpairc-d , to the duke
of Monmonuth'a apartments , wondering In
what mood I should find him after last
night's rebuff. Little did ho think that I
had been a witness of It. I enteied his
room ; he was sitting In his chair. With
him waa Carford. The duke's face was an
glurn and his air an Ill-tempered as I could
wish. Cai.'ord's manner was subdued , calm ,
and sympathetic. They were talking earn
estly as I entered , but ceased their con
versation at once. I offered my services.
"I have no need of j-ou this morning.
Simon , " answered the duke. "I'm engaged
with Lord Carford. "
"I retired. But ot a truth -that morning
every one In the castle v.o.s engaged with
borne ono else. At every turn I came oit
couples In anxious consultation. The a p.
preach of nn Intruder brought Immedlato
Hllonce , the barest civility delijed him.
his departure was received gladly and was
signal for renewed consultation. Well , the
king acts the mode , and the king , J heard ,
was closeted with madame and the duke
of York.
I retired. But of a truth that morning
every ono In the castle cmfvv cnifwy cmf
But not with M. do Pcrreneourt. There
was a hundred feet of the wall , with a guard
at one end and a guard at the othei , and
midway between them a solitary flguie stood
looking down on Dover town and thence out
to sea. In an Instant I recognl/cd him , ana
a great desire came over me to speak to
him. Ho vvn thn fnrmnrvrf tnnn nlli'n In
that day nnd I longed to speak with him.
To have known the great is to have tasted
the true flavor of jour times. But how to
pass the sentries. Their presence meant
that M. do Pemmcourt desired privacy. I
stepped up to ono and offered to pass. He
barred the way.
"But I'm In the service of Iil grace the
duke of Monraoiith , " I expostulated ,
"If you were lu the service of the devil
lilmself jou couldn't ' pass here without the
king's order , " retorted the follow.
"Won't his head pervo as well as his
order , " I asked , slipping a crown late his
liand , "Come , I've i meraago from his
? race for the French gentleman. Yea , It's
private. Deuce take It , do fathers always
know of their son's doings ? "
"No , nor sons all their father's iwme-
times , " ho chuckled "Along with you
quick , and run If jou hear mo whistle ; It will
mean my officer Is coming. "
I was alone In the sacred space with
M. de Perrencourt. 1 assumed an easy air ,
and sauntered along till I was within a few
, -anlB of him , Hearing my step than , ho
ooked round with a start and auked per
emptorily ; i
"What's j-'our ' desire , sir ? "
By an avowal of himself , even by quoting
.ho king's order , ho could banish me. But
f bis cue wcro concealment and Ignorance
of the order , why I might Indulge my
curiosity ,
"Like jour own , sir , " I replied courteously ,
'a breath ot fresh air and a sight of the
sea. "
Ho frowned a little , but I gave him no
line to speak.
"That fellow , though , " I pursued , "gave me
o understand that none might pats ; yet
the king Is not hero , is ho ? "
"Then bow did you pass , sir ? " asked M ,
do Perroncourt , Ignoring my last question
"Wliy. with a Ho , sir , " I answered. "I
said I had a mmago for you from the duke
> f Monmouth , and the fool believed mo. But
wo gentlemen la attendance must stand by
ono mother You'll ' not bnlr r mo. Your
word on It ? "
A * low unlit * broke acrws bin fnce.
"No , I'll not betray you , " gnid he. "You
sppflk French well , sir. "
"So M do I'oiilPliM , whom I mot nt Oin
terbury. told mo , Do r i chance to know

M dc t'prrerroiirt did not start now ; I
should hive been dl&ippo'nteil If ho tud.
"Very well , " he onuwured. "If you're his
tripml you re nilno. " Ho held out his hand.
"I take l on false pretenses , ' slid I with
a laueh nn 1 shnnU It "For wo pnmo near
to quarreling. M do route-lira and I. "
"Ah , on wl'tt point ? "
"A nothing sir "
"Nay but tell me "
"Indeed I will nnt. If you'll pardon me"
"Sir , I wish to know. I Ins I beg" A
stare from me lud stopped the "Insist" wh"n
It was lalf way through hh I'os On my
soul , lip flushed1 1 tell my chlldion some
times how t made him fliifih ; the thing was
not done often. Yet his confusion was but
momentary , nnd suddenly , I know not how , I
In my tuin became ol-islitM with the cold
slaro of his ojrs , and when ho asked me mj
name I answered boldly with never a bow
anl never a floutIsh , "Simon Dale"
"I lave henid ) our name , " said he gravely.
Then lie turned around and began looking t
the sei agaiti
Now , had IIP been wearing his onn clothes
( If I may so siy ) this conduct would ha\n
bcon enproprlate enough ; It would have been
a dlsmlseal and I should have passed on my
way. Hut a man should he consistent In his
disguises , and from M. do Porrencoutt. gentle
man In waiting , thp behavior was mighty un
civil. Yet my revenge must bo Indirect.
"Is It true , sir , " 1 asked , coming close to
him , "that the king cf France Is jondci nt
Calais ? So It's said. "
"I believe It to bo true. " answered M , do
Perretipourt.
" 1 wish he had come over , " I cried. ' I
should love tn see him , for they ray that he's
a very proper nun , although he's somewhat
ohort. "
M. do I'errcncourt did not turn his head ,
but again 1 saw his oheok flush. To speak of
his low Mature was. I had heard Monmouth
piy , to commit the most dire offense In King
Louis' cjes.
"Now , how tall Is the king , sir ? " I asked.
"Is ho as tall as jou , sir ? "
M. do Perrencourt vv&s still silent. To tell
the truth , I began to lie a llttlo uneasy ;
there were cells uider the castle and I had
need to bo at largo for the coming few dajs.
"For. " said I , "they tell such lies con
cerning princes. "
Now ho turned toward me , saying ;
"Tlieio you're tight , sir. The king of
Franco Is ot middle sl/c. about my own
height. "
For the life of me I could not resist It.
I said ncthlng with my tongue , but for a
moment I n ( lowed my eyes to saj , "but ,
then , jou'ro short , sir" He understood , and
for the third time lie Hushed
"I thought as much , " said I , and with a
bow I begun to walk on
But as Ill-luck would have It , ,1 , was not to
como clear off from my Indiscretion. In a
moment I should have been out of slg it.
But as I started I saw a gentleman piss the
guard , who stool at the balute. It was the
king , esrapo was Impossible. He walked
straight up to me , bowing cuiolessly In re
sponse to .M. do Perrcncourt's defoientlal In
clination of his person
"How came jou here , Mr. Dale ? " he asked
abruptly. "The guard tells 1110 that tie In
formed jou of my orders , and that jou In
sisted on passing. "
M. de Perrencourt felt that his turn was
como ; ho stocJ theie spilling. 1 found noth
ing to saj- . If I repeated my fiction of a
message t e French gentleman , Justly en
raged , would betray inc.
"M. do Perren-ourt seemed lonely , sir , "
I answered at last.
I.V llttlo lotiellnets hurts no man , " slid
the king. lie lock out his tablets and be
gun to write. When ho was done he gave
me the message , adding , "Head It. " I irid.
"Mr. Elmon IMle will remain under arrest
In hh cvvn apartment fop twonty-iour hours ,
and will not leave them except by the ex
press command of the King. " I nude a
wry fuce.
"If the duKc of Monmouth wants mo "
I began
"Hr'll have to do without jou. Mr. Dale , "
Interrupted the klr. . "Come , M , do Perren
court , will jou give mo jour arm ? " And off
ho went on the Flench gentleman's arm ,
leaving me most utterlj ab flhed and curs
ing the curiosity that had biought mo to
this trouble.
"So mut'h , for the duke of Buckingham's
'long head , ' " said I to mjself ruefully , as I
made my way toward the constable tower In
which his grace was lodged , and where I
had my small quarters.
Indeed I might well feel a fool , for the next
twenty-four hours , during which I was to be
n prisoner , would in all likelihood see tlie
lisuo In which I was pledged to bear a part.
Now I could do nothing. Yet at least I
must send speedy word to the town that I
was no longer to bo looked to for any Jielp ,
and when I reached my room I called loudly
Jor Jonah Wall. It was but the mlddlo of
the daj' , jet he was not to be seen. I
walked to the doer and found , iwt Jonah ,
but a guard on dutj- .
"What are jou doing hero ? "
"Seeing that jou stay here , sir , " ho an
swered with a grin.
Then the king was very anxious that I
hould obey Ms orders , and had lost no time
n assuring my obedience ; ho was right to
ako his measures , for , standing where I did ,
ils ordern would not have restrained me , nnd
was glad that ho had set a guard on mo In
leu of asking my parole. For much ea I
eve sin I hate temptation. Yet , where was
Jonah Wall , and how could I send my mcs-
age ? I flung mj'self on the bed In deep de-
pondency. A moment later the door opened
nd Konert , Darrens servant , entered.
"My master begs to know If you will sup
with him tonight , sir. "
"Thank him kindly , " said I , "but If you
sk that gentleman outside , Hubert , ho'll
oil jou that I must sup at homo by the
dug's desire. I'm under arrest , Robert , "
" .My master will be grieved to hear It , sir ,
nd tlio more bccaiibo ho hoped that you
vould bring some vine with yon , for ho has
one , and ho has guests to mip with him. "
"Ah , nn Interested Invitation ! How did
Ir. Darrell know that I had wine ? "
"Your servant Jonah spoke of It > o me , sir ,
nd said that you would be glad to send my
lastor some. "
"Jonah Is liberal ! But I'm glad , and as-
lire Mr. Darrell of It. Where Is my rascal ? "
"I saw him leave the castle about nn hour
ago ; Just after ho t > poke to mo about the
vino. "
"Curso him ! I wanted him Well , take
lie wine. There are fix bottles that he got
oday. "
"Thero Is French wine here , sir , and Span-
all. May I take either ? "
"Tako the French In God's name. I don't
ant that. I have had enough of France ,
lav. thotiL'h. I hellcvo Mr. Darroll liken the
Spanish better , "
"Yes , sir ; but his gucsta will llko the
French. "
"And who are these guests ? "
Itobcrt swelled with pride
"I thought Jonah would have told you ,
nlr , " said ho. "Tho king Is to sup with my
master. "
"Then , " &ald I , "I'm well excused. For
no man knows better than the king why I
can't come. "
Tim fellow took his bottles and went off
grinning. I , being left , fell again to cursing
myself for a fool , and fii this occupation I
passed the hours of the afternoon ,
