CHAPTER XV ii.
On the eve of Michaelmas day old Si
mon roturred from London, whither he
had gone two days before to raise the
money he had .promised, and calling
upon him in the afternoon I found him
seated at his table with a most woebe
gone look in his face, and his eyes
streaming more copiously than usuaL
And with most abject humility he told
me that doing the utmost that day in
his power he had not been able to per
suade his goldsmith to lend more than
10,000 on the title deeds. Nor had he
got that, he declared, but that the gold
smith knew him for an honest and trust
worthy man whom he would credit be
yond any other in the world,, for the
seal not yet being given to Judith God
win's succession there was always peril
of dispute and lawsuits which might
make these papers of no value . at all,
the king's ministers vying one with an
other to please their master by bringing
money rightly or wrongly into the treas
ury, and this indeed may have been
true enough.
?'But,' says he, "all will go well if
thee wilt have but a little patienoe for
awhile. Tomorrow my rents will come
in, and I will exact to the last farthing,
and there is a parcel of land I may sell
mayhap for instant payment, though

wna i see oi him, smoking of pipes in
the public way and drinking with any
iow reuows in alehouses, this Captain
Evans is but a paltry, mean man, who
maybe easily put off with a pound or
two to squander in his pleasures, and, as
for the Spanish grandee, he do seem so
content to be with our mistress that I
doubt he needs no pretext for quitting
her, added to which, being of a haughty,
proud nature, he should soorn to claim
his own, to the prejudioe of a merchant
who hath naught but his capital to live
upon. And I do implore thee, good
friend, to lay this matter before my mis
tress in such a way that she may not be
wroth with me."
I told him I would do all he could ex
pect of me in reason, but bade him un
derstand that his clianoe of forgiveness
for having broke his first engagement de
pended greatly upon his exactitude in
keeping the second, and that he might
count on little mercy from us if the oth
er two 2,000 were not forthcoming the
next day. So I took the money and gave
him a quittance for it, signing it with
my false name, James Hopkins ; but, re
flecting on this when I left him, I wish
ed I had not. For I clearly perceived
that by this forgery I laid myself open
to very grievious consequonoes. More
over, taking of this solid money, dis
guise it how I would, appeared to me
nothing short of downright robbery, be
it whose it might. '
In short, being now plunged up to my
nock in this business, I felt like a fool
ish lad who hath waded beyond his
dopth in a rapid current, hoping I might
somehow get out of it safely, but with
very little expectation. However, the
sight of all this gold told up in scores
upon the table in our closed room served
to quiet these qualms considerably.
Nevertheless I was not displeased to re
member our bargain with Don Sanchez,
feeling that I should breathe more free
ly when he had taken this store of gold
out of my hands, etc. Thus did my mind
waver this way and that, like a weath
ercock to the blowing of contrary winds.
'Twas this day that Moll, as I have
said, dressed herself in her Moorish
clothes for the entertainment of her new
friends, and Dawson, hearing her voice,
yet not daring to go into the stateroom
where she was, must needs linger on
the stairs listening to her song and cran
ing his neck to catch a glimpse of her
through the open door below. Here he
stands in a sort of ravishment, sucking
in her sweet voice and tho sounds of de
light with which her guests paid tribute
to her performance, feeding his passion,
which, like some firo, grew more fierce
by feeding, till he. was well nigh beside
himself. Presently out conies Moll from
her stateroom, all glowing with exer
cise, flushed with pleasure, a rich color
la her cheek and wild fire in her eyes,
looking more witching than any siren.
Swiftly she crosses the hall and runs up
the stairs to gain her chamber and re
olothe herself, but half way up Dawson
stops her, and clasping her about cries
hoarsely in a transport :
"Thou art my own Moll my own
sweet Moll!" adding, as she would
break from him to go her way, "Nay,
chick, you shall not go till you have
bussed your old dad."
Then she, hesitating a moment be
twixt prudence and her warmer feelings,
suddenly yields to the impulse of her
heart, her head also being turned maybe
with success and delight, and flinging
her arms about his neck gives him a
hearty kiss, and then bursts away with
a light laugh. 1
Jack watches her out of sight, and
then, when the moment of escape is
past, he looks below to see if there be j
any danger, and there he spies Don
ROGUES.

Sanchez, regarding liim from the open
door, where he stands as if to guard it.
Without a sign tho don turns on his heel
and goes back into the room, while
Dawson, with a miserable hangdog look,
comes to rue in my chamber, where I
am counting the gold, and confesses his
folly with a shamed face, cursing him
self freely for his indiscretion, which at
this rate must rum all ere long.
This was no great surprise to me, for
I myself bad seen him clip his dear
daughter a hand when he thought no
one was by, and more than once the
name of Moll had slipped out when he
should have spoken of Mistress Judith.
These accidents threw us both into a
very grave humor, and especially I was
tormented with the reflection that a
forgery could be proved against me if
things came to the worst. The danger
thereof was not slight, for though all
in the house loved Moll dearly and
would willingly do her no hurt, yet the
servants, should : they notice bow Mis
tress Judith stood with Captain Evans,
must needs be prating, and there a mis
chief would begin, to end only the Lord
knows where. Thereupon I thought it
as well to preach Jack a sermon and
caution him to greater prudence, and
this he took in amazing good part, not
bidding me tend toy own business, as he
might at another time, but assenting
very submissively to all my hints of dis
aster and thanking me in the end for
speaking my mind so freely. Then, see
ing him so sadly downoast, I, to give a
three men met in mv chamber, where I
had set the bags of money on the table,
togother with a dish of tobacco and a
bottle of wine for our refreshment, and

side us, I proposed we should talk of our
affairs, to which Don Sanchez consented
with a solemn inclination of his head. J
But ere I began I observed with a pain
of foreboding that Jack, who usually
had emptied his glass ere others had sip-
ped theirs, did now leave his untouched,
and after the first pull or two at his
pipe he cast it on the hearth as though
it were foul to his taste. Taking no open
notice of this, I showed Don Sanchez
the gold, and related all that had passed
between Simon and me.
"Happily, senor, " says I in conclu
sion, "here is just the sum you gener
ously offered to accept for your share
and we give it you with a free heart,
Evans and I being willing to wait for
what may be forthcoming. "
"Is it your wish both that I take
this?" says he, laying his hand on the
money and looking from me to Dawson.
"Aye," says he, ' 'tis but a tithe of
what is left to us and not a hundredth
part of what we owe to you. "
"Very good," says the don. "I will
carry it to London tomorrow. "
"But surely, senor," says I, "you I
will not quit us so soon. " j
Don Sanchez rolls his cigarro in his
lips, looking me straight in the face and
somewhat sternly, and asks me quietly
if l have ever found him lacking in loy
alty and friendship.
"In truth, never, senor."
"Thon why should you imagine I
mean to quit you now when you have
more need of a friend in this house"
(with a sideward glance as toward
Moll's chamber) "than ever you before
had?" Then, turning toward Jack, he
says, "What are you going to do, Cap
tain Evans?"
Dawson pauses, as if to snatch one
last moment for consideration, and then,
nodding at me, "You'll not leave my
Moll, Kit?" says he, with no attempt
to disguise names.
"Why should I leave her? Are we not
as brothers, you and I?"
"Aye, I'd trust you with my life,"
answers he, "and, more than that, with
my Moll ! If you were her uncle, she
couldn't loye you more, Kit, and you
will stand by her, too, senor?"
The don bowed his head.
"Then when you leave tomorrow I'll
go with you to London," says Jack. :
"I shall return the next day," says
Don Sanchez. "
" "And I shall not, Godhelp me !" says
Jack bitterly. .;. i ,
"Give me your hand," says the don,
but I could speak never a word and sat
staring at Jack in a maze. "
.'We'll say naught of this to her,"
oontinww.TaoJr. "There must be no fare-
weiiit. i con in never endnre mat za
it shall KHm that I have gone with you
for company and have fallen in with
old comrades, who would keep me for a
carousing. "
"But without friends, alone, what
shall you do then?" says I, heartstricken
at the thought of his desolation. The
don answers for Jack.
' "Make the best of this lot with a
stont heart, like any other brave man,"
says he. "There are natural hardships
which every man must bear in his time,
and this is one of them. " Then, lower
ing his voice, he adds, "Unless you
would have her die an old maid she and
her father must part sooner or later?" j
Why, that's true, and yet, master,
says Jack, "I would have you knowlelse-"
that I'm not so brave but I would see
her now and then."
f "That may be ordered' readily
enough," says the don. . , .
) "Then do yon tell her, senor, I have
but gone a-junketing, and she may look
to see me again when my frolic's over. "
i The don closed his eyes as one in du -
bitation, and then says, lifting his eye -
brows : "She is a clever woman shrewd
boyond any I have ever known. Then
why treat h as you would a foolish
child?, You must let me tell her the
truth when I come back, and I warrant
it will not break her heart, much as she
loves yon." ! -'
As you will, " says t'other. " 'Twill
be all as one to me," with a sigh.
This falls out well in all ways,"
continues the don, turning tome., "You
will tell Simon, whose suspicion we
have most to fear, thai; we have handed
over 4,000 of those pieces to "Captain
Evans as being most in need, we our
selves choosing to stay here till the rest
of our claim is paid. That will acoount
for Evans going away and urive us a
pretext for staying here, " ' ;
I'll visit him myself, if you will,
says Jack, "and wring his beard to
show my gratitude. I warrant I'll make 1
him wince, such a grip will I give him, !
and I 11 talk of nothing else but seas
and winds and the manner of ship I'll
have for his money. " i . . j
The following morning before Moll
was stirring Don Sanchez and Dawson
set forth on their journey, and I, going
with them beyond the park gates to the
bend of the road, we took leave of each ,
other with a great show of cheerfulness 1
on both sides. But, Lord 1 My heart lay
in my breast like any lump of lead, and
when Jack turned his back on me the
tears sprang up in my eye as though in
deed this was my brother and I was
never to see him more. And Ions after
he was out of sight I sat on the bank by
the roadside, sick with pain to think of
his sorrow in going forth like this, with
out one last loving word of parting from
his dear Moll, to find no home in Lon
don, no friend to cheer him, and he the
most companionable man in the world.
CHAPTER XVHL
Being somewhat of a coward, I es
sayed to put Moll off with a story of
her father having gone a-frolicking with
Don Sanchez, leaving it to the don to
break the truth to her on his return.
And a sorry, bungling business I made
of it, to be sure. For, looking me
straight in the eyes, whenever I dared
lift them, she did seem to perceive that
I was lying from the very first, which
o disconcerted me, though she inter
rupted me by never a word, that I could
soarce stammer to the end of my tale.
Then, without asking a single question
or once breaking her painful silence, she
laid her face in her hands, her shoulders
shook, and the tears ran out between her
fingers and fell upon her lap.
"I know, I know," says she, putting
me away when I attompted to speak.
"He has gone away for my sake and
will come back no more, and 'tis all my
fault that I could not play my part bet
ter." Then what words of comfort I could
find I offered her, but she would not
be consoled and shut herself up in her
room all the morning. Nevertheless she
ate more heartily than I at dinner, and,
fresh visitors coming in the afternoon,
she entertained them as though no grief
lay at her heart. Indeed she recovered
of this cruel blow much easier than I
looked for, and but that she would at
times sit pensive, ; with melancholy,
wistful eyes, and rise from her seat with
a troubled sigh, one would have said at
the end of the week that she had ceased
to feel for her father. But this was not
so, albeit wounds heal quickly in the
young and healthful, for I believe they
who weep the least do ache the most.
Then, for her further excuse, if it be
needed, Don Sanchez brought back good
tidings of her fatherhow he was neat
ly lodged near tho cherry garden, where
he could hear the birds all day and the
fiddles all night, with abundance of
good entertainment, etc. To confirm
which she got a letter from him three
days later, very loving and cheerful,
telling how, his landlord being a car
penter, he did amuse himself mightily
at his old trade in the workshop and
was all agog for learning to turn wood
in a lathe, promising that he would
make her a set of eggcups against her
birthday, please God. Added to this,
the number of her friends multiplying
apace, every day brought some new oc
cupation to her thoughts ; also, having
now that 2,000 old Simon had promis
ed us, Moll set herself to getting through
it as quickly as possible by furnishing
herself with all sorts of rich gowns and
appointments, which is as pretty a diversion-of
melancholy from a young wo
man's thoughts as any. And so I think
I need dwell no longer on this head.
About the beginning of October, Simon
somes, cap in hand and very humble, to
Hie court to crave Moll's consent to his
setting some men with guns in her park
at night, to lie in ambush for poachers,
telling how they had shot one man in
the act last spring, and had hanged an
other the year before for stealing of a
sheep, adding that a stranger had been
Been loitering in the neighborhood, who,
he doubted not, was of their thioving
crew.
"What makes you think that?" asks
Moll a ..
"He has btm wvn lingering about
here these three days, " answers Simon.
"Yet to my knowledge he hath not lept
at either of the villain inns. Moreover,
be hath the look of a desperate, starving
rascal, ripe for snob work "
"I will have no man killed for his
misfortunes. "
"Gentle mistress, suffer me to point
out that if thee lets one man steal with
impunity others, now innocent, are
thereby encouraged to sin, and thus thy
mercy tends to greater cruelty. "
"No man shall be killed on my land.
There is my answer," says Moll, with
passion. "If you take this poor, starved
creature, it shall be without doing him
bodily hurt. You shall answer for it
Not a bone shall be broken, mistress.
Tis enough if we carry him before Jus
tice Martin, a godly, upright man, and
a scourge to evildoers,
- "Nay, you shall not do that till I
have heard his case, " says MolL " 'Tis
Ior me to decide whether he has injured
j me or not' 811(1 suffer none to take

chief being done despite her commands,
and at night she would have me take
her round the park to see all welL May
be she thought that her own father, steal
ing hither to see her privily, might fall
a victim to Simon's ambushed hirelings.
But we found no one, though Simon had
certainly hidden these fellows some
where in the thickets.
, While we were at table next morning
we heard a great commotion in the hall,
and Mrs. Butterby, coming in a mighty
pucker, told how the robber had been
taken in the park, and how Simon had
brought him to the house in obedience to
her lady's command. '
"But do, pray, have a care of your
self, my dear lady," says she, "for this
hardy villain hath 6truck Mr. Simon in
the face and made most desperate re
sistance, and heaven protect us from
such wicked outlaws as have the vil
lainy to show themselves in broad day- I
light 1"
Moll, smiling, said she would rather
face a lion in the day than a mouse by
night, and so bade the captive to be
brought before her.
Then in comes Simon, with a stout
band over one eye, followed by two
sturdy fellows holding their prisoner be
twixt them, and this was a very pas
sionate man, as was evidenced by the
looks of fury he cast from side to side
upon his captors as they dragged him
this way and that to make a show of
their power, but not ill looking. In his .
struggles he had lost his hat, and his
threadbare coat and shirt were torn open, j
laying bare his neck and showing a very
fair, white skin and a good beard of
light, curling hair. There was naught
mean or vile in his face, but rather it
seemed to me a noble countenance,
though woefully wasted, so that at a
glance one might perceive he was no
born rascal, but likely enough some
ruinod man of better sort driven to un
lawful ways by his distress. He was of
a fair hoight, but gaunt beyond every
thing, and so feeble that, after one ef
fort to free his arms, his chin sank upon
his breast as if his forces were all spent.
Seeing this, Moll bade the fellows
unbind him, telling them sharply they
might see there was no need of such
rigor. ,

Epilepsy-20 Years.
Cured by Dr. Miles' Nervine.
A few years ago, Mr. L. W. Gallaher, was
an extensive, successful expert manu
facturer of lumber products. Attacked with
epilepsy, he was obliged to give up his busi
ness. The attacks came upon him most In
opportunely. One time falling from a carri
age, at another down stairs, and often in the
street. Once he fell down a shaft in the
mill, his Injuries nearly proving fatal. Mr.
Gallaher writes from Milwaukee, Feb. 16, '95.
"There are none more miserable than epi
leptics. For 20 years I suffered with epilep
tic fits, having as high as five in one night. I
tried any number of physicians, paying to
one alono, a fee of fcOO.OO and have done
little for years but search for something to
help me, and have taken all tho leading
remedies, but received no benefit. A year ago
my son, Chas. S. Gallaher, druggist at 191
Keod St., Milwaukee, gave me Pr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine, and I tried it with
gratifying results. Have had but two fits
since I began taking it. I am better now In
every way than I havo been in 20 years."

Moll, but with Mtle gratltutw m
look, and places himself at the end of
the table facing us, who sat at the other
end, Moll sitting betwixt Don Sanchez
and me, and there, setting his hands for
support upon the board, he holds his
head up pretty proudly, waiting for
what might coma
"Who are you?" asks Moll in a tone
of authority.
He waits a moment, as if deliberat
ing with himself whether to speak fair
ly or not ; then, being still sore with his
ill treatment and angered to be Ques
tioned thus by a mere crirl he. as I
take it, being a man of 80 or, there
abouts heansvrs:
"I do not choose to telL Who I am.
what I am, concerns yon no more than
who and what you are concerns me, and
less, since I may justly demand by what
right these fellows, whom I take to be
your servants, have thus laid hands on
me."' .'
'How do you answer this?" asks'
Moll, turning to Simon.
Then Simon told very precisely, as if
he were before a magistrate, how this
man, having been seen lingering about
the court several days and being with
out home Or occupation, had been sus
pected of felonious purposes ; how,
therefore, he had set a net to lay wait
fpr him;, how that morning they had
entrapped him standing within a covert
of the park. regarding the house:, how
lie had refused to give his name or any
excuse lor- his being there and how he
bad made most desperate attempts to
escape when they had lain hands on
him. ' - ' - " -
Is this true?" asks Moll of the pris
oner. ' . ' "- .,. , , ;
."Yes,'.' says he. . , .';
Moll , regards him with incredulous
eyes a moment ; then, turning to Simon,
What arms had he for this purpose
that you speak of?" says she. ; .
None, mistress, but " 'twould be a
dread villain verily who would carry
the engines of his trade abroad in day
light to betray him. " And then he told
how 'tis the habit of these poachers to
reconnoiter their guard by day and keep
their nets, guns, etc., concealed in some
thicket or hollow tree convenient for
their purpose. "But," adds he, "we
may clearly prove a trespass against
him, which is a punishable offense, and
this assault upon me, whereof I have
evidence, shall also count for something
with Justice Martin, and so the wicked
shall yet come by their deserts. " And
with that he gives his fellows a wink
with his one eye to carry off their quarry.
"Stay," says Moll, "I would be fur
ther convinced"
"If he be an honest man, let him
show thee his hand," says Simon
The man innocently enough stretches
out his palm toward us, not perceiving
Simon's end.
"There 1" cries Simon. "What said I?
Is that a hand that ever did a day's hon
est work?"
is no worse man mine," says
Moll, regarding the hand, which in truth
was exceeding smooth and well formed.
"Come," adds she still more kindly,
"you see I am no harsh judge. I would
not deny a fellow creature the pleasure
that is not grudged, the oovey that runs
across my lawn. Tell me you were there
but to gratify a passing caprice, and
I'll forgive you as freely as I'll believe
you."
This gentle appeal seemed to move the
young man greatly, and he made as if
he would do more than was demanded
of him and make thata free confession
which he had refused toTforce. But ere
a word could leave his parted lips a
deadly shade passed over his face, his
knees gave under him, and staggering
to save himself he fell to the ground in
a swoon.
Then, while all we men stood fixed in
wonderment, Moll, with the quick, help
ful impulse of her womanhood, ran
swiftly from her place to his side, and
dropping on her knees cried for water to
be brought her.
"Dead of hunger," says Don Sanchez
in my ear. "Fetch a flask of brandy. "
And then, laying hold of Simon by
the shoulder, he pointed significantly to
the open door. This hint Simon was not
slow to take, and when I returned from
the buttery with a case of strong waters
I found no one in the room but Don
Sanchez, and Moll with the fainting
man's head upon her lap, bathing
temples gently. Life had not come bai
and the young man's face looked very
handsome in death, the curls pushed
back from his brow and his long fea
tures still colorless like a carved marble.
Then, with a "my lackaday" and
"alas," in bustles Mrs. Butterby with
a bottle of cordial in one hand and a
bunch of burning feathers in the other.
"Fling that rubbish in thechimney,"
says the don. "I know this malady
well enough. " And pouring some wine
in a cup he put it to the dead man's
parted lips
In a few moments he breathed again,
and hearing Moll's cry of joy be opened
his eyes as one waking from a dream
and turned his head to learn what had
happened. Then, finding his head in
Moll's lap, and her small, soft, cool
hand upon his brow", a smile played over
his wasted face, and well indeed might
he smile to see that young figure of
stern justice turned to the living image
of tender mercy.
Perceiving him out of danger and re
covering her own wits at the same time,
Mrs. B-itterby cries: "Lord, madam, do
let me call a maid to take your place,
for, dear heart, you have quite spoiled
your new gown with this mess of wa
ter, and all for such a paltiy fellow as
this!"
Truly it must have seemed to her un
derstanding an outrageous thing that a
lady of her mistress' degree should be
nursing such a ragged rascal, but to me,
knowing Moll's helpful, impulsive dis
position, 'twas no such extraordinary
matter, for she at such a moment could
not entertain those feelings which might
have restrained a lady of more refined
breeding.
The pretty speech of Mrs. Butterby,
reaching the fallen mail's ear, seemed
intently to quicken his spirits, andcast-ir.'j-
iff hi. l.'fburaic Imuior he ocicklv
maggtwt to nis Iwcwnnewe rantea
MolL Then, resting one hand upon the
table fir nupport, he craved her pardon
for giving so much trouble, but in a
very faint, weak voice.
"I would have done as much for a
dog," says Moll. "My friends will ren
der you what further services are fit,
and if it appears that you have been un
justly used, as I do think you have, be
sure you shall have reparation. "
"I ask no more," says he, "than to
be treated, as I may merit in your es
teem." "Justice shall be done," says Don
Sanchez in his stern voice, and with
that he conducts Moll to the door.
; But Moll was not content with this
promise of justice. For the quality of
mercy begetteth love, so that one cannot
only moderate one's anger against an en
emy, but it doth breed greater compassion
ana leniency Dy mating one better con
tent with one's self and therefore more
indulgent to others. And so, when she
had left the room, she sends for me, and
taking me aside says with vivacity:
"I will have no punishment made
upon that man. "
"Nay," says I, "but if 'tis proved
that his intent was to rob you"
"What then?" says she. "Hath he
not as much right to this estate as we?
And are we one whit the better than
be, save in the more fortunate issue of
our designs?. Understand me." adds
she, with passion, "I willhaye nothing
added to his unhappiness. "
I I found the young man seated at' the
table and Don Sanchez gravely setting
food before him. But hewould take
nothing but bread, and that he, ate as
though it were the sweetest meat in all
the world. I led the don to the window,
and there in an undertone told him of
