Oi that fl't- man with the wnml stood naltlc
mil a little doubtfully anil let us pan , ,
ml , my patron preceding mo. we went up
\vlik > Dtilrrato end aloni ? a silent corridor
,
ifiil tlir < usli ! one or two awing doorJ , the
dyke nermlnB to be conversant with tlie
tqii'p. It was Impossible not to admire the
somber richness of the curved furniture.
Which stooil hero and there In tlie corridor ,
of tile ftrotosiiur dtalum and eastern color-
lliK of the chlnaward and iMogtil Idols that
n'cered from tlie corners or ro'p boldly on
brackets. Such a mode of furnUliing was
now to rae , but neither Ita novelty nor the
ovldenccs of wealth and taste which abun
dantly met the c > o Impressed me so deeply
i the ntllliufls which everywhere prevailed ,
and which sec me J to much a part of the
palace that when liU grace opened the second
swiiiR door and the shrill , piping volco of a
child crowing and laughing In an ecutaiy
of infantile pleasure , oimo forth and mei
us. I started as If a gun hud exploded.
I know now that the sound , by clvlng my
patron aF.iurance that lie whom he Bought
was not there , hut In hl.i clofet , led to my
adinlision. and that without tint assurance
my lord would have left mo to wait at the
door. As It HUH he said nothing-to me , but
went on ; and I , following him in my Innocence -
cenco through tiip doorway , cume at the
same moment he did en a scene as rare as It
U by mo well remembered.
\Vo stood on the threshold of a wide and
splendid galleiy , oet here and there with
great China vases and hung with picture.1)
which even then 1 discerned to bo of great
beauty , and afterward learned wereof no
less rarity. Letting ray eyes travel down
this vista , they paused naturally nt a spot
under one of the windows where , with hlu
back to us and ribbon : ! In his hands , A clight
gentleman , beyond middle age ami dressed
iu black , ambled and paced in front of a
child 1 or 5 years old. The wintry
Minllght , which fell In cold bars on the
Iior ) ( , proved his progress to be more showy
ttian real ; nevertheless the child shrieked
In Ita joy , and , dancing , jerked the ribbons
and waved a little whip , In response to
which this gentleman , whose long , eurled
periwig bobbed oddly on his shoulders he
had his baclc to us pranced more stoutly ,
though on legs a little thin and bent.
A long moment I stated at this picture ,
llttlo thinking on what I gazed ; nor was It
until a gentleman seated at a sldo table
not far from the pair rose hurriedly from
Ills chair and with a guttural exclamation
Came toward us , that I remarked this third
occupant of the gallery. When J did so It
vfn. to discern that he was angry and that
liny lord was taken aback and disturbed.
It even seemed to me that my ration made a
tiasty movement to withdraw. Before lit
"Ooulil do so , however , or I , who behind him
'barred ' the way , could take the hint , the
gentleman In black , warned of our prcnenct
, hy the other's exclamation , turned to us ,
Wnd still standing and holding the ribbons
ill his hands , looked at us.
. . He had a long , sallow face , which Hcemcd
'thu aallowcr for the dark , heavy wig that
( ell nioiind It ; a large hooked nose and full
peevish Una with eyes both bright and inu-
ypse. I am told that he ( seldom smiled , and
.liovcr laughed and that while the best tales
pf. King Charles' court passed round him ,
, Jjo would stand abstracted , or on occaalo.i
jllher ) the teller by a silent nod. The court
jAt'Jts who dubbed my Lord Nottingham 1)01
DLimallo could find no worse title for him
AYt ihat ho had a well of humor , deeply
Jjldden and raiely dtawn upon , no one could
'uoubt who saw him approacli us , a fllrkiM
dt dry amusement In his eyea giving the He
t'o ' his pursed-up lips and the grlmness ot

"MYour grace U always welcome , " ho said
tfprnlclni ; In 'Knglish ' , a little broken and
guttnial. "And yet yon might have come

'A thousand pardon's ' , sir , " my lord an

touched the ground. ' ! thought that you

to the pattern of three old mottoes ot hln
linns. ' : "SucM-a trauqullUm In Until * " and
"Tandem nt Surrultis ttrbor" whereof the
former wni bnrne , I have read , liy the1 Taci
turn , nnd tlie latter by Maurice of Nassau
but by two other particulars whtili I crave
IINUO to mention. The first was that more
majorum ho lock naturally ml from the1
first the- lead as the champion of the Protes
tant i elision In IJuropo ; the second , that
though he had hla birth In a republic , anil
was called to be king by election ( an that It
was no uncommon thing for some of hh
subject. ! to put slights upon him ns little
moro than their equal ; aye. and though he
had to beir such affronts In silence ) , he hat'
the true spirit and pride of a king born In
the purple and by right divine. Insomuch
that many attributed to lUU the gloom and
reserve of hla manners , maintaining that
these were assumed 1cm ns n ahleid against
the malice of his enomlea than as a cloak
to abate tlie familiarity of ills friends.
And certainly oarnc , In speaking of hint ol
late years , belittle hla birth no los.5 than
hit exploits when they call him lutch Wil
liam and the like , speaking In terms un
worthy of a povcrelgn , and os If he had drawn
his bleed from that merchant race , Instead
of as the fact waa from the princely
houses i.f Stuart , Uourbon , Nassau , and
Medici , and from such ancestors ns the noble
Collgny nnd King Charles the Martyr. Hut
of his birth enough.
For tlie rest , having a story to tell and
not uifiiory to write1 , 1 refrain from recalling
how great he was aa ,1 statesman , hou i < > -
, ? ourceful < ut a strategist , bow indomitable
aa a commander , how valiant when occasion
ieqilircd In the pitched field. Nor Is it nee-
ca-ary. seeing that before the rise of my
lyord Marluorough ( who still survived , bill
alas , quantum mutants ab Illo ! ) he had nc
rival in any of these capacities' , nor In the
llr.3t will ever be excelled.
Nor , as a fact , looking on him in the
flesh as I then did for the llrst time , can 1
nay that I saw anything to betoken great-
new or the least outside evidence of thi
llcry spirit that twice In two great wars
stayed all tlie power of Louis ot France ; thai
saved Holland ; that united all Europe it
three great leagues ; finally , that , leaping
the bounds of the piobablo , won a kingdom
only to hold it cheap and as a means tc
further ends. I say I saw In him not tin
least trace of this , but only a plain , thin
grave nnd rather neevlsh gentleman , Ir
black and largo wig , who coughed mud :
between his words , spoke with a forelgr
accent and often lapsed into French or sonu
other strange tongue.
Ho waited until the door had fallen tc
behind the child and the long gallery laj
allent , and then bade my lord speak. " 1
breathe better herehe said. "I hate
small rooms. What is the news you have
brought ? "
"No good news , sir , " my patron an
swered. "And yet I can scarcely call II
bad. In the countiy it will hnvo a good
effect. "
"Ilien ! nut what la It ? "
"t have seen Ferguson , sir. "
"Then you have been a d d scoundrel ! '
the king exclaimed , with an energy I hat
not expected from .him , and. Indeed , sucl
outlirraks were rare with him. "Hu li
arrested , then ? "
"No , sir , " the duke answered. "I trust
however , that ho will be .before night. "
"But If he bet free , how came you in hi :
company' " the ; ' king nsked , spmcwhai
sharply. (
My lord hesitated and seemed for n mo'
ii'ent at a loss ho\v to anower. Uelng behind -
hind him , I could not see hU face , but I
fancied that he grew red and that the fonrtl :
person present , a stout , burly gentleman
marked with the smallpox , who had ad
vanced and now stood near the king , was
hard put to It not to sinlle. At last. " 1
received a letter , sir , " my lord said , speaV-
Ing sillily and with constraint , "purporting
to c-omo from a third person "
"Ah ! " said the king , drawling the won ]
and nodding dry comprehension.
"On the failh of which , believing It le
bo from that other If you understand
sir "
"I understand perfectly , " ald the king ,
and ho coughed.
I "I wca Indeed. " my lord raid , doggedly
I "to glvp the villain a meeting. And learned
sir , partly from him nnd partly from this
man here" this moro. freely "enough ti
, corroborate the main particulars of M"
Prendergast's story. "
j "Ah ! " said the king. "Good ! And the par
tlcularsV"
"That , Sir George Barclay , the presor
ii'eiitloned by Mr. ProndergEst , Is glvliu
1 nightly rendezvous lu Coveut Garden to per
sons , mainly from France , who arc bclnj
formed by him Into a band , the design , a :
stated by Prendeivast , to fall on youi
majcUy'a person In the lane between Fulhasi
Green and the river on your re-turn fron :
hunting. "
"Docs ho agree as to the names ? " the klnj
asked , looking at me.
"Uo knows "no names , sir , " tiio duke an-
sworcd , "but he saw a number ot the con
fipiratord at the Seven Stura In Covent Ga.-
den last night , and heard them sneak openlj
of a hunting party , with other things pointIng -
Ing the same way. "
"He can speak to < i person who I thlnli
can bo Identified as Ilarclay , " my lord an
swered. "Ho cannot gpeak to Charnock "
"That ia liia.Oxford man ? "
"Yes , sir or gorier , or King , or the othert
by there names , but ho can cpeak to two o :
them under the names by which Prondergasl
ialil that they were pausing. "
"Volla ! It does not ECCIII to mo to be at
simple , " the king rald , with a touch of im
patience. "What In tills person's name , am
who IB he ? "
Thu duke told him , and that I had beei
Fer/jihipn's / tool.
"That rogue Is In U , then ? "
"Uo Is privy to It , " the duke answered.
His majesty shrugged his shoulders , cs litho
the nmnver annoyed him. "Vou Hngllsl
draw flue distinctions , " ho said. "Whatevw
you do. however , let us have no repetition
of the Lancashiio fiasco. You will hear tha
In mind , my lord , If you please. Another o
Twite's psuedo ploU would do us moro ham
In the country than the lots of a battle Ir
Flanders. Faugh ! Wo have knaves ai
home , but you have n breed here youi
dates' and your Taafes' nnd , your Fullers
for whom breaking on the wheel Is toe
good. "
"There are rogue ? , sir , In all countries , "
my lord answered , somewhat tartly. "I do not
know that we have a monopoly of them. "
"Tho duke of Shrewsbury In right there ,
filr , " the gentleman behind the king who had
not yet spoken struck In , In a goo.l-naturcil
tone. "They are things of which there is
no scarcity anywhere. 1 remember "
'Talsez ! Taiaez ! " cried the king , brusquely ,
cutting khort his rvmln'sceucei , whereat the
gentleman , mulling Imperturbably , took muff ,
"Tell mo th's. ' IB Sir John Feu wick Ininll-
catcd ? "
' There may be evidence against him , " mj
lord answered , cautiously.
The king sneered openly. "Yes , " ho said ,
"I fieo i'orter and Goodman and Chainock are
guilty. Hut when It touches ono of your-
, belve * . my lord , then 'Thero is evidence
' iiRaln.it him,1 or 'It Is a cue of suspicion,1
I orOh , you all bang together ! " and pursing
1 upa \ ( | | ps , ha looked sourly at us. "You
all hang together. " ho lepented. "I stand tc
be shut at c'est dommage. But touch a
noble , and Hare la Nobloree ! "
"You do us an Injustice , air ! " my lord
cried , warmly , "I will answer for It
"Oh. I do you nn Injustice , do I ? " the kins
said , disregarding hla last ward1 * , "Of comae
I do ! Of court ? , > ou are all faithful , most
faithful. You have all taken the oaths , But
I tell you , ivy lord Shrewsbury , the kind tn
whom you nwear allegUncr , the king crowned

You tla my hands , you elliiB to my eword ,
> on choku my purss ! I bad as much power
lu Holland as I have here. And more ! And
more ! "
He would bave gone fuithcr , and with the
same candor , I think , but nt that the gentle
man who had Interrupted him before struck
In again , addressing him rapidly In what I
took to bo Dutch , and doubtless pointing out
the danger of too great oprnncstf. At any
rate I took that to bo thu gist ot hU words ,
not only from his manner , but from thp fact
that when he had done the ktnt ; looked
gloomy and anaucrcd nothing he turned to
my lord.
"Tho king trusts your grace , " he said
bluntly. "He has never eald an much to an
Kngllahman before. I am sure that the trust
la well placrd anc' ' that Is majesty's feo'lnRJ
will go no further. "
The duke bowed. "Your majcfily author
izes me to take the necewuy steps , thfn , "
he said , .speaking somewhat dryly , but other-
wife Ignoring what had pasted , "to secure
your safety , sir , as well as to arrest the
guilty ; no time .should he lost. Warrant *
should be Issued Immediately and these per
sons taken up. "
"Hefore Ferguson can uarn them , " the
king slid in his ordinary tone. "Yes , see
to It , my lord' , nnd let the council be recalled.
The guards , too , chould be doubted , and the
regiment Prendergast mentioned dlsolac d.
Cutta must look to that , and do you , my
lord , " he continued rapidly , addressing the
gentleman btslde him. whom I now ron-
jpcturrd to b Lord Portland , "fetch him
hither and lose no time. Take one of my
coaches. It is n plot , if all be true , should
do us good In the country. And that , I
think. Is your grace's opinion ? "
"It should , air. DoilbtloM , sir. we KngMfh
have our faults , but we ore not fond of ts-
siMlno. "
"And are you confident that this Is no
bubble ? " the king slid , thoughtfully.
"Yes. sir , I am. "
Uy this time Lord Port'an.l had with
drawn through n door at the further end
of the gallery. The king. Inking- turn this
way nnd that , with hla bane's clasped behind
him. and his head bent low , BO that his great
win almost hid ills features , scorned to .be
lost In thought. After waiting a moment the
duke coughed , and this falling to attract the
king's attention , ho ventured to address
him. "There is another matter I have to
bade the othernurc , his fceblcnesl , hla short
breath , hlg hacking cough , hla' pallor , had
more meaning th n many words. No , mj
lord , " he continued , after a pause , "I cannot
release you. 1 .eaanot afford to rjlMse you ,
because- cannot afford to lose- the one man
who does not day r by day betray tuo and
who never Im.v.botuiyed me. "
"I would to lieavfn. " the duke cried , much
moved , "that iftu-could say lhat. "
"I can. my , f/end | , " the king annwered ,
with a KcsturefvOf , klndnce3. "It was noth-
I ing , and It Is ( pi-gotten. I have bug ceased
to think of It. .iflut o'cst vral. I remember ,
when I tay I/can , trust no one t.se , I do
my good SomctP an Injustice. Hi ) Is a dry
man , however , , Ikg myself , and poor com
pany , and so d tcs .not count for much. "
My lord , contending with his fo.'llnRS , did
not answer , and the king , who , while ipeak-
ling , had se-1 Mmsel' : a hl h-back.-d
| chair. In which ho looked frailer and more
i feeble than when on his legs , let a nilinilc
i elapse before he rraumeil , in a dlfUrent and
; brisker tone. "And now tell me. what has
.troubled . our good secretary today ? "
i "Tho duke of Berwick , sir. Is in London. "
i To my astonishment , and , I have no doubt ,
' to the duke's , the king merely nodded.
. "Ah. " he said , "Is ho In this pt.'tty plot ,
I then ? "
I "I think not , " the duke answcnd. "Hut
' I should suppose-- "
"That he'a here to take advantage of it , "
the king said. "Well , he U hU uncle's own
nephew. I eupprse Ferguson sold him , aa
ho has sold every one all his life ? "
"Yes , sir. Hut not , I think , with the lu-
tcntlon that I should carry out the bargain. "
"Eh ? "
"It IB n long tale f\r \ , " the duke said
rather wearily. "And having given your
majesty the Information "
"You need not tell the tale ! Well. no. for
I can gueps It ! " the king answered. "The
old rogue , I euppwe. was for ruining you
with me If you hid the newa. and for damn
ing you with King James if you Informed ,
which latter he did not think likely , but
that Instead he would have a hold on you. "
The duke. In a tone of much surprise , ac
knowledged that ho had gucwed rightly.
"WILL THAT SUIT YOUR LOUDSHIP ? | '
mention to you , sir. " he said , with a touch
of constraint in his tone.
The king paused in his walk and looked
sharply at him. "Ah , of course , " he said ,
nodding. "Did you see Lord Mlddleton ? "
The duke couldi not hide a start. "Lord
Mlddleton , sir ? " he faltered.
The king smiled coldly. "The letter , " he
said , "was from him , I suppose ? "
My lord rallied himself. "No , sir , It was
not , " he answered with a flash of spirit. "It
purported to bo from him. "
"Yet you went wherever you went think
ing to see him ? " his majesty continued ,
smiling rather disagreeably.
"I did , " my lord answered , his tone be
traying his agitation. "But to do nothing to
thepiejdicc of your service , sir , and what I
could to further your interests short of giv
ing him up. He Is my relative. "
The king shrudded Ills shoulders.
"And for years , " my lord cried warmly ,
"was my Intimate friend , "
The king shrugged ha ! shoulders again.
"We have fought that out before , " he said ,
with a sigh of weariness. "And more than
once. For the rest , In that connection and
whatever others may tay , Lord Shrewsbury
bas no ground to complain of me. "
"I have cause , sir , to do far otherwise ! "
the duke answered In a tone suddenly
changed and so full of emotion that It was
not dinicult to discern that he had forgotten
my presence , which visa not wonderful , ? s
I stood behind him in the shadow of the
doorway , whither out of moduty I had re
treated. "God knows I remember It , " he
continued. "Were It not for that If I were
not bound to your majesty by more than
common ties of gratitude , I iihould not bo
today in a service which for which I am
unfit. The daily duties of which , performed
by other men with Indifference or appetite ,
fill mo with pity and dlstaate ! the risks at
tending which I speak without ceremony.
sir make me play the coward with myself
a hundred times a day ! "
"Caesar , " the king said quietly , "let's none
but Caebar call him coward ! "
Kindly as the words were uttered , nnd In
a tone differing much from that which the
king had hitherto used , the duke took no
heed of them. "Others' wish for my place ;
God knows I wish they had It ! " he cried , his
agitation growing rather than decreasing.
"Every hour , sir , I pray to be quit of the
faction and perjury In which I live ! Every
hour I loathe more deeply the work .1 have
to do and the people with whom I have to
do It. I never go to my oflice but my
gorge rises , nor leave it but I sec ? the end.
And yet I must stay In It ! I must stay
In it ! I tell you , sir , " ho continued , Im-
potuouoly , "on the day that you burned
those letters you but fred me from ono
slavery to fling me Into another ! "
"Yet an honest one ! " said the king. In a
peculiar tone.
My lord threw up his hairds. "You have
a right to say that , air. Hut If any ono
else or , no , I I forgot myself ! "
"Something bas disturbed you , " said the
king , intervening with much kindness.
Take time ! And In the meanwhile listen
to me. As to the general dldtaste you ex-
prees for my service , I will not , and I do
not , do you the injustice to attribute It-
whatever you say yourself to your fears of
what may happen In a possible event ; I
I mean 1'ancien regime residue. Jf such
j fears weighed so heavily with you , you
would neither have signed the Invitation tome
mo nor come to me eight ycais ago , But
I take It , with perhaps some apprehension
of this kind , you have and this Is the real
gist of the matter a natural distaste for
affaire and u natural proneness to ha on
good terms with all , rogues as well as good
men. It Irka you to sign a death warrant ,
to send one to Newgate and another to
bah , I forgot the names of your prisons ;
to know that your friends abroad are not
as well placed at St. Gcr'malns as they were
at St. JameH'i You have no care to
! mi advantage , no anxiety to luln a rival ;
> you would rather trust a man than bind
i him , In a word , my lord , you have no
taste for public life In dangerojs and
' troubled times uch as these , although , per
force , you have played a high part In It , "
"Sir ! " the duke cried , with an anxiety
anil eagerness that touched me , "you know
mo better than I know myself. You see
my failings , my nnntiiens , and aurely , see
ing them so clearly you will not refuse to "
"Helease you , " the king < > ald , smiling.
"That does not follow. For consider , tny lord ,
you BIH not the only onu In the world who
puisues perforce a path for which ho has
llttlo taste. To bo king of England has a
higher sound than to ht > stadtholder ot Hol
land.'But to bo a king and no kln , to see
your way clearly , and be thwarted by those
who sco no foot In tha field ; to have Franco
by thu throat and be battled for the lack of
10,000 men or 1,000,000 guilders ; above all.
to bo terved by men who have made use of
you who have ono foot on either shore , and
bavins betrayed their old master to gain their
endu , would now betray you to ave their
necks ( bin , too. forms no bed of roji > n ! But
I lie on it. I lie on It , " be concluded ,
phlegmatlcally , and au ho spoke ho took a
pinch of tmuff , "In flue , my lord , " he con
tinued , "to be high , or what the world calls
high , U to be unhappy. "
The duke niched , "You , sir , huvo those
qualities which fit you for your part , " ho
Mid , sadly. "I have not. "
"Havo IT"
The king Mtld no more , but Ihu gesture
with which he held out hU hands , as If be
"Well , it was n very pretty dilemma ,
said the king , with a sort ot gusto. "An
where Is M. Fltzjamca in hiding ? "
"At Dr. Lloyd's in Hogsden Gardens , " m
lord answered. But ho could not concet
hiJ. gloom.
"He must bevarrcsted , " said the king , "j
warrant must .fee Issued. Will you see to i
with the others ? " " "
My lord assented , but with such a slgl
that it required no wizard to discern hot !
the cloud that hung over htm , and also tha
now he had dorie 'what Fergu.-on had dare
him to do , the consequence lay heavy 01
him. The king , .after considering him
moment , with singular expression. bctViqe
amusement nnd reproach , broke the silence
"See here , jpy. lordhe , said , with gcoi
nature. "I will' tell yon what to do. Si
down now and here and write a line to mon
aieur , bidding him be gone , and send it b ;
a private hand , and the warrant by a mes
senger an hour later. "
Tfie duke stared at the king In astonish
ment. "But he will escape , sir , " he fal
tcred.
"So much the better , " the king answerei
Indifferently. "If we take him , what are wi
to xlo with him ? Besides , to tell you th
truth , my lord , he did me a great servlci
eight years ago. "
"He , sir ? "
"Yes , " said the king , smiling. . "He In
duced his father to lly the country , when i
ho had stayed but you know that story
So do you warn him , and the sooner he Ii
beyond La Manche the better. "
Still the duke looked unhappy. "I dan
not ilo It , sir , " ho said at last , after a pause
"Dare not do it ? When J authorize It' '
Why not ? "
"No , sir ; because if I were Impeached b ;
the Commons " .
The king shrugged his shoulders. "Ah
these safeguards ! " ho muttered. "Thesi
town councils and provincial councils am
states general. And now these Gommom
and lords. Shall I ever be quit of them' '
Well , there is but one way , then ; I must d (
It. If they impeach mo 1 go back to Lee
and they may stew in their own Juice. "
Ho rose with that , and , moving stlfiiy ti
the table at which Lord Portland had bcei
writing when he entered , he sought fo ;
and found a pen. Then sitting In the chair
which the groom of the stole had left va
cant , he tore a slip of paper from a folli
before him , and , writing some Unto on It-
about six , us far aa I could Judge Imndei
the paper to Hid duke , who had remalnei
standing nt a fannal distance. .
"Volla , monsieur , " ho said. "Will tha
suit your lordship ? "
The duke took It respectfully and lookec
at It , "But , sir , it la in my name ! " hi
cried , aghast , "And bears my signature. '
"Eh , blen , why not ? " his majesty an
swered , lightly. "Tho name is the nami
of Jacob , but thp hand la that of Esau
Take it and send It by a trusty messenger
Perhaps the man * who came with you , ant
you pheuBh , my 'lord , I had forgotten tha
tills person was here. Wo have spoken toi
freely. "
The oath which the duke let fall as hi
turned , nnd the face of dismay and angei
with which ho gazed on mo , were proo
enough that he shared the king's opinion , ai
he had shared his mistake. For a moment
the two glaring at me with equal dlsgus'
and vexation , I though I should alnk Inti
the lloor. Th&n the king beckoned to mite
to como forward. And I obeyed him.
CHAPTER XXV.
The odd and unexpected glimpse of gcner
osity which ttuuklug had allowed to crfcapi
him In hla Interview with the duke some

have entertained at that moment. To whlcl
must bo added ( hat I am one of those who
when violence and physical danger are not It

minds , Nevertheless , I am free to confer
that as I went forward I wished myself on- '

Mr. Drome's room1 ;
But the thlilgHook a turn which rellevcc
mo when I least'expected ! It. As I approached <
preached the chaKrln In the king's face gavi
place to a look , < qf ( surprise ; and that again
but more slowly { o.one of Intelligence. "Ah
Jo mo trompaU ! " ho muttered rapidly
"What did you'HaV hU name was ? "
"Price , " the-Uiike * answered , continuing U
glower at mo.
"Price ? " Ah , cela va sans dire ! But h <

"To mine , sir ? " the duke exclaimed In
voice of the utmost astonishment ; and he
drew himself up as 1C the king had pricker :

him."Wcstco
"Wcst-co pas ca ? " his majesty replied
looking from one to the other of us. "Yel
he has so. imidi a look of you that it mlghl
be possible In sonio lights to take him foi
your grace were he differently dressed " 1"
The duke looked purely offended , "Youi
majesty i * under a strange mlsappreheir
aion , " ho said , very 6IIIlly. "If this person
resembles me of which I waa not aware 1
know nothing of the cause , and the likeness
for what it is worth , must bo accidental ,
As a fact , I never aw him but once before
in my life , sir and that perfectly by chance. '
And hu very briefly related the clrcuuuUiicct
under which we caino together ,
listened to the story , but a if he
sctrccly believed It ; and he smiled when tin
duke came to tell how ho allowed me to ts
capo. Then. "And you have never seen hln
from that day to this ? " he ealil incrcdu
lously ,
"Never ! " tald Ihe duke , positively. "Hu
it U not my Intention to lose sight of hln
again. "
"Ah ! " the king1 eftld.
"I have not told you , filr , nil that hap
pened , " the duke continued , reading , 1
think , the king' * thoughts. "Hut. briefly
Mr. Ferguson , who has come to be llttU
short of a made man , drew a pistol on mi
nt the close ot our Interview , and but foi
his friend hero who had been placed U
listen , but at that broke from his place o !
hiding and knocked up the muzzleso thai
It exploded liarmltsrly I should have conn
off 111. "
"And I not much better , " the king said
nodding and looking grave. "You are un
hurt ? "
"Yes. air. "
"Well , that puts another face on it , and U
you retain him brslde yon , what ho has now
heard will be of the lees Importance. Hark
yon , tny friend , " he continued , nddresalnc
me , "ran you keep your mouth shut ? "
1 said humbly that I could nml would.
"Then , talrez , talsc-z , " he answered , em
phatically. "And take thli letter tr Hogsden
Oirdens to Hlflhop Lloyd's. See Bishop Lloyil
anil put it In bis hands. Say nothing , give
no manage , but go to your master's In St ,
James' square. You will seal It , duke , with
a plain seal ? Good. And go you out , man
by the way you came In , and answer no
questions. And now for the council and th
warrants , my lord. We have lost too much
tlmi already. "
To ray that I went from the presence
without knowing how I did It , and when 1
reached the courtyard had no more Idea bow
I had gained It or by what staircase I hail
defended than If I had been blind , Is bill
the truth : nor Is It to bo wondered at when
the amazing thing which had happened te
mo is In the least degree taken Into con-
slderallon. In truth , I walked on air ami
saw nothing , I was so deeply overjoyed ;
and though It Is certain that as I went out
I met ono nnd another , parsed the sentries ,
and ran the gauntlet of curious eyes for
who that quits n court escapes that ordeal
I was no more conscious of the observa
tions made upon me , or surprise I excited
cs I went by than If I had really walked In
the clouds. Issuing from the gates , I took
by instinct rather than tloMgn tlie road to
London , nnd hugging to my breast the let
ter which the king the king Imd Intrusted
to me , made the best ot my way Umard
Tyburn.
I had been wiser had I gene by the other
road through the village , and taken the first
first coach I found. There are commonly
one or two at Kensington watting to carry
passengers to London. 'But ' in the fluster ol
my spirits I did not measure the distance ]
had to go , or the time I should consume In
walking. My main anxiety tor the momcnl
was to bo alone , alone and at leisure tc
probe my fortune and success , and appreci
ate both the relief and the good luck I hail
compassed. I could have sung as I walked
I could have skipped and danced ; and i
gleam of sunshine breaking the .March slcj
and gilding the leaflets arms of the tree ;
and the flat green pastures that borderei
the road north of .Hyde . park , I was raovui
to ralso my hat nnd look upward and reverently
ently thank Providence for this wonderfu
Instance of its goodness , which I had no
had the heart to do for some time.
When I descended a little to earth , a stei
which was hastened by a flash of rccollec
lion that showed mo Ferguson's niece wait
Ing at Clerkenwell gate , a llttlo figure for
lorn and desolate , yet with eyes of wratl
and a face puckered with determinatlon-
when I came , I say , a little to myself am
to think of Hogsden gardens , and remem
bered that It lay on the further side of towi
by Bunhlll Fields , I was already at Tyuuri
turning , and It seemed to be no longer wortl
w.ille to ride. The day was on the wane
and the road thence to St. Giles pound w.n
lively with persons come out to take the air
through whom I threaded my way nt a gooc
race , and coming to Holburn without i
mishap , turned up Cow lane and so go
speedily to Smithficld and across the markc
to Long lane , knowing my Qy so far with
out having need to ask.
Here , however , I took sudden fright. 'Mj
mind , which , as I walked , had 'been bus }
with the ilrl and the eteps I should take
to find her If , indeed , I wished to finJ
her , about which I was pu7zlcd , the sur
rounding circumstances being ro dlfforent-
wMd Invaded by the notion that I had beer
long on the read. To this waa added ncxl
moment the icllection that niefscngera cnl
to arrest me the duke could , 'by taking a
coach , forestall me. The thought threw
mo into a 'hot ' fit , which Increased on me
when I considered that I did not know the
remainder of .the . road , and might waste
much time In tracing It. Naturally my
first Impulse In this strait was to seek a
guide , but Long lane by Sinlthfleld Is onlj
ono degree better than Whetstone pirk. anil
I shrank from applying to the ioiu an < l
drabs , who stood at the doors and corners
or lounged out of the patched windows anO
lazily or rudely watched me go by.
In this difficulty , and growing the more
dlfildent and alarmed the more slowly 1
walked , I looked about eagerly for some
person of passable aspect of whom I could
Inquire. I saw none , and my uncertain
glances and loitering step were 'beginning '
to draw on me advances and an attention
that were ar ythlng but welcome , when ,
reaching a. corner where an alley , now re
moved I think it was then called lo
alley runa out of Long lane , I saw a man ,
decently habited , como out of a house a lit
tle way down the alloy. He closed the
door sharply "behind " him , and as I looked ,
went off In the opposite direction .
Hero was 7iiy opportunity. Without leu-
ing a momen' I ran after him , and he , hear
ing my steps , turned and wo came face to
face. Then , when it was .too late to re
treat , I saw with unutterable dismay that
the man I had stopped was no stranger , but
the person who had dressed mo up the night
'before and taken mo .to the mysterious
house In the suburba ; the man called ISmlth ,
whom I had flret been under the piazza In
Covent Garden , and again In Ferguson'u
room.
To como face to face with any one of the
gang with the knowledge that I had but
now left the palace after informing against
them , was of Itself enough to make my knec.i
tremble under inc. But of this man , though
hl9 civil treatment had been in pleasant
contrast to Fargiidon's brutality , I had con
ceived an Instinctive dread ; based as much
on his silence and reserve and a sort of
quiet power with which I credited him , as on
his contemptuous treatment of my tyrant.
In a word , had I como on Ferguson him
self , I could scarcely have been more over
come.
On hearing my footsteps ho had turned
on mo very sharply , with the air of a man
Who Imd no mind to be followed and no
taste for followers. But on peeing who It
was , blH face grew light , and ho whistled
his i > iirprl e. "I was on my way to you , "
he said , "and here you are. That Is good
luck. I mippose Ferguson sent you ? "
"No , " I said , avoiding Ins eyea. and won
dering with Inward quaklnga w\iat was
going to happen to mo , "I I lost my
road. "
"Oh ! " nald ho , and looked keenly at mo.
"Lost your road , did you ? Well , It was very
much to the purpose as it happened. ( May I
ask where you are going ? "
I shifted my feet uneasily , "To Bunhlll
Fields , " I said , naming the flrst place of
which I could' ' think.
"Ah ! " he answered with apparent careless
ness ; and though it seemed scarcely poiilbl *
he should fall to obseive the heat und dis
order into which his preaenco had thrown
mo , he made > no sign. "Well , you are not
far out , " ho continued , "and I will come
with you. When you have done your errand
\vo will talk over my business. This way.
I know this end of the town well. And fee
It was not FerRUeon , " ho added with a harp
look at me , "who sent you after me ? "
"No , " I said.
"Nor hla errand that brought you bore' "
"No , " I said again , my mouth dry. "And I
need not give you the trouble to como with
me. 1 fchall be taking you "
"Out of my way ? Not at all , " he an
swered briskly. "And it ia no trouble. Como
along , my friend. "
I dared say no more , nor show further rc-
lurtance ; and BO with feet like lead and eyes
roving furtively for a way of escape , I turned
and went with him. Nay , it was not my feet
only that were weighted ; the letter , and my
conctausne 8 of It , lay to heavy on my mind
It was like lead In the pocket.
I was indeed In a strait now ! And In ono
sd difficult I could discern no way out of It ;
for though I could in part , and In part only ,
command my countenance , I failed absolutely
to command my thought ? , which did nothing
but revolve tumultuously about the words ,
"What am I to do ? What am I to do ? "
words that kenned written In red letters on
my brain. Only one thief waa clear to ui
In the contusion , and Hint was Iheirgin
necessity I lay under of hiding my errand
the disclosure of which must carry with 1
the disclosure of the place whence 1 came am
the company I had been keeping. With tlmi
to think , and cooUiess to distinguish , I MiouU
doubtless have seen the possibility of an
nouncing tny errand to the duke , yet laylnf
it on Ferguson's shoulders : but pushed foi
lime and unableat a pinch to weigh all thi
Issue * . I could form no determination , mncl :
less one leading to so darlog a step. Aftei
ono denial , that is.
In the meantime we moved c i ; and at firs )
my companion seemed to b ? unconscious ol
my sluggish pace and my perturbation. Bui
presently 1 felt rather than saw that fron
minute to minute he glanced nt me askatire
and that after each ot these Inspections he
laughed silently. The know ledge that 1 la >
under this observation Imme.iPiirably 1n.
creased my embarrassment ; I could no lonqei
pill a fair faro on the matter , but every Unit
he looked at me looked away guiltily , unible
to support my ej.es. . This presently grew sc
Insupportable that to esoape from my embar
rassment I coughed otid affected to ehoko.
" \ou have n cold , 1 am afraid. " ho said ,
scarcely concealing the sneer In his tone ,
"And jet you look warm. You must have
walked fast , my friend ? "
I miitteii-d that 1 had.
"To overtake me , perhaps ? H was ROOI
of you , lie said In the same tone of ecrei
badinage. "Hut we are hero. What part ol
the fields do you want ? Whltocnvss street ? '
"No , I muttered.
"Then It must be Baxter's rents. "
" " '
"No.
"Bunhlll row ? "
"No. '
"No ? Well , there is not much else here. '
he said , nnd ho shrugged his shoulders.
"Uxcept the fields and the iburlal ground ,
Your business does not He with the latter ,
I suppose ? "
"No , " I said faintly. And we stood.
At another time I must have shuddered at
the dreary expanse that on this nethermost
fringe of the town stretched beloro us under
a waning light , an expanse ol wnsto land
broken only by the wall of the burial grounder
or the chimney of a brick kiln , and bordered ,
where its limits .were visible , ly half-built
houses and squatters' hutd Sml vast piles uf
i of use. Ugly ns the prospect was. however ,
and far from reassuring to the timorous , 1
nsknl nothing better than to look at U , nnd
look nt It , and continue to look at It. Hut
Mr. Smith , who did not underMland this
mood , turned with an Impatient laugh.
"I suppose that you did not como hero lo
look at Hint. " said he.
Like n fool I Jumped at the ahiiurd , the
flimsy pretext. "Yes , ' I said. "I 1 merely
camu to take the air. "
The moment the words were spoken I
trembled at my audacity. But ho took It
better than I expected , for he merely paiuH
to stare at mo and then chuckled grimly.
"Well , " ho said , "then now that jotl have
taken the. air , let us go back. lla\e you
anything to object to that , , Mr. Tayior ? "
I could find nothing.
"I will come with you , " ho continued. " 1
want to see Ferguson , andi wo can fettle niy
business there. "
But this only presented to me a dreadful
vision of Ferguson , released from his bonds ,
and mad with rage add the desire to avenge
himself , and I stopped short. " 1 am not golnf
there , " I said.
"No ? Then where , may I a. k , arc you go
Ing ? " he answered , watching me with .1
placid amusement , which nude It as clear a
the daylight that he saw through my cva
slons. "Where is It my lord's pleasure tc
go ? "
"To Bromo's in Fleet street , " I said
hoarsely. And If he had his back to me n
that Instant and I a knife In my hand ,
could have run him through. For as I eali
It and he , with mocking suavity assented
and wo stepp'ed out together to return llu
way we had come through Long lane ovei
which the sky hung low In the dull , yellow
haze , the last of thp western light I had a
swift and stinging recollection of the kinp
and my lord , and the letter and the passage
of time , and could have sprung from hir
side and poured out curses on him In the
Impotence of niy rage and Imcnticnct. Foi
the hour of grace which the kltJS had grantee
was gone , and a second was parsing , Riu1
still the letter /dinuldwarn the duke o
Berwick lay in my pocket , and I saw m
chance of drdivorlng It
