I did not remember that slic , nuiipoalng
I hail Informed , and Ignorant of the ccno
which Iiad hound me to the diiko of Shrews-
hury.ould s c nothing surprising In my
priscnce In his houpo ; and more deeply
nnundcd than I can , now hcllcvc possible by
her demeanor , I bent over her.
"Don't JOH know ms ? " 1 whispered ,
"Mary ! "
Klin shivered , but retained the Mine nttl-
ludc , her cyca on the floor.
"Can I do anything for jou ? " I persisted ;
but thin tlmo I apoko more coldly ; her
tllenco began to annoy me.
She looked up then with a wan smile ,
and with lips eo dry that they ncarcrly
licrfornied their olllce , tnokc. "You can let
mo eecapn , " uhe said.
"Thata \ Impossible , " I answered promptly ,
to put an end to such notions. And then to
comfort her. "Ucsldc-H. what can they dote
to jou ? " 1 said , confidently. "Nothing ! You
ro not a man and they do not burn women
for treason now , unless 11 la for coining.
Cheer up ! They "
"They will send me to the Comptcr , and
will whip me , " nho muttered , shuddering
o suddenly and violently that the chair
crrnkcd under her. lAml then , "If vou can
Ket away , " she continued , moistening her
lips and r-poaklng with her eyes averted.
" \\cll ! Hut If not , jou had better leave
me You do me no good. " she added , after
a Blight pause , and with a sob of linpa-
tlcnco In her voice.
I knew that It was not unlikely that the
house of correction would be her
fate and that ( inch a fate , even
to a decent woman and she was a girl !
might bo le s tolerable than death. And
1 felt t > onicthliig of the horror and burning
apprehension that parchpj her mouth and
trained her eyes. The hall was growing
dark round us. aifd the throng of persons
of all sortti that filled It , poisoning the air
with their breathing , and the odor of their
clothes. I experienced an astonishing loathIng -
Ing of HIP confinement and the place. I saw
this , the beginning of the dreary road which
ho had to tra\el , and. my heart revolting
ftlib the pity of It and the future of It , I
fell Into a passion and did a thin * I very
seldom did. I swore.
And then heaven knows lu-w I went on to
n thing HO unwise and icoklrw ) and In every
v/ay unlike mo ! Oitalnly It was not the
mcro oppoi ( unity tempted me though a
chance more favorable , the general attention
being completely cngro scd by the two no
blemen , could not have been conceived yet
It was certainly not that , I say , for I did'It
on the impulse of the moment. In sheer blind
luirur. not inoKing 10 see wnoinnr I wan
watched or not Nor did It arise from any
farther suggestion on the glil'n patt. In
fact , all I remember of It Is that , In a
proxjam of pity , leellng rather than seeing
that the people roi.nd us completely hid un ,
I touched the girl's shoulder , and that she
looked up with a wild look In her ejea and
that that determined me. So that without
more I unlocked the door. In a trembling ,
fumbling Mirt of manner , and p.i'sed her
through It and followed her , no one except
Casscl , the prisoner who cat next her , being
the wiser. Had I been prudent , or acted
under anything but the Impulse of the mo
ment , I should hav > j let her go through , and ,
trusting to her woman's wlta to get her
clear of the house , have remained on guaul
mjKeif , ii If nothing had happened ; and
certainly this would have been the safer
way. since I could have sworn , when I war
challenged , that no one had passed through
the door. But I had not the nerve to think
of this or remain , and I went with her.
The thing once done my llrot thought , and
the natural. If foolish , Impulse on which 1
acted , was to take her to my room ; hereto
to follow where I \ aTho passage beyond
the door was dailc , but taking no thought of
nllp or etumble , In a moment I had her up
the small staircase , which led to the drat
floor and through the door at the head of
the flight Into the long corridor , which spa-
clous , lofty , end comparatively llght--Iu every
way the strangest opposite to the crowded
liall below ran from the well of the great
etalrcaoi ; Into the depths of the house. 13y
involving her In this upper part of the house ,
whence escape was Impossible , and. where
prolonged search muwt Inevitably discover
her. \ was really doing a most foolish thine ,
but In the event It mattered nothing , for
us we reached the corridor and paused to
cast a wary glance down Its length this way
and that I for my part shaking like an
aspen , and I doubt not iw white as a sheet
a dingle foottjtop lang on the marble floor
that edged the matting of the pat-sage , and
the next moment the duke himself , lebulng

from a doorway no more than flvo paces
way , ciuuo plump upon un ,
The surprise was BO complete that wo
tad no tlmo to move , and wo ttood as If
turned to stone ; yet even then If I had re
tained pei feet presence of mind and bethought , -
thought mo that he might not know the
Ulrl , and would probably deem her one of
JilH household , a still-room maid , or a aeam-
etrros , oil might have been well. Kor
though ho tlid In fact know the girl , having
questioned her not half an hour before ,
it was ,011 mo that his eye alighted ; and his
first w'ords were proof that ho ( inspected
nothing.
"Arc you better ? " ho eald , pausing with
the UliHliRKH and consideration that eo well
lireamihim nay , that became no other man
eo well. I am glad to eo that > ou are
ebout. Wo shall want you presently , What
IW88 It ? "
And then , If I had. answered him at once
I huve no doubt tlmt he would have paused
on ; but my teeth chattered so pitiably thai
I could only gape at him ; and on that , see
ing In . moment that something was wrong ,
lie looked at my companion , und recognized
her , I taw his eyes open wide with aston
ishment , and hla mouth grew stern. Then ,
"Hut what what , sir , Is this ? " ho cried.
"And what do you "
He eald no more , for as ho reached that
mord Iho door besidemo opened gently , and
men slid round It looked , saw the duke ,
ml atood , his mouth agape , a stifled oath on
Ilia llpe. It was Cassel. Ills hands shackled ,
At this frc h appearance. Hie duke's as

scarcely be exceeded. Ho eturcd at the door

thing whimsical and bizarre In the situation
which there certainly was , though at the
tlmo I wan far from discerning It and be
ing a man who In nil circumstances retained
a natural dignity , he smiled ; nnd recover
ing himself before any one of us , took a tone
between the grave and Ironical. "Mr. Gas-
* cl' " he said. "Unless my eyes deceive mo ?
The gentleman I saw a few minutes ago ? "
"The rame. " the conspirator answered ,
jauntily , but his anxious cje roving beside
and behind the duke belled his tone.
"Then , pcrhapfl , " my lord answered , tnk-
Ing out hit onuff box and tapping It with a
good-humored air , "you will see. sir , thai
your presence here needs some explanation'
May I ask how you came here ? "
"Tho devil I know or care , your gracol"
Casscl answered. "Except that I came Into
your house with no good will , and , If 1 could
lia\e found tic door , should not have out-
stovod my welcome. "
"I believe U , " eald my lord , dryly , "It I
believe nothing else. Hut you have lost the
throw. And. that being so. may I beg that
> ou will descend again' I am loth to use
force In my own house , Mr , Caeacl , and to
call the servants would prejudice your cuee.
If you are wise , therefore , I think that jou
will see the wisdom of retiring qulptly. "
"Have no fear , I will go , " the mar
answered , with sufficient coolness. "I should

mo that loosened my knee Joints. "Ho
HiiuiRgled her out , did he ? "
"Ho could not do much leas , " the conspirator
answered. "Sho 6a ed hla life yesterday. "
"Indeed 7"
"Aye , when Ferguson would have hung hln
like a dogl And not far wrong , either ! Hu
mum ! I am talking. And save him or no ,
did not think the creature hod the spunk to
do the thing. No. I did not. "
"Ah ! " said my loid , looking at him at-
tentlvelv.
"N'o. And as for the wench , your grace '
and with the word Cas'el dropped hla voice
"she Is no more than a child. You have
enough. It la all over. Sacre nom do Dleu
let her go. my lord. Let the girl go. "
The duke raised hlc ejebrows "I KCC
no glil. " said he slowlj. "Of whom arc
> ou talking. .Mr Ca , = 8el ? "
1 do not know who wa * more astonlshci
at that , Gnssel or I. True , the girl was
gone ; for n , moment before , the duke's back
being half tunned , ho had slipped Into a
doorway a couple of paces away , nnd there
I could hear her breathing even now. Hu
that my lord had failed to detect the move
ment I ( ould no more believe than that he
had failed to see the girl two minutes before
when na Llearly as I ever saw anything In
my life I had seen him examine her fea
turcs !
Nevertheless , "I see no girl , no rcpcaieu
coollj. "Hut I BCC you , Mr. Carsel , and a
the aletui may be given at any moment , am
I do not choose to be found with you , I mus
beg of > on to descend at once. Do you , fair , '
he continued , addressing me sharply , "g
with him , and when jou have taken hln
back to the hall bring me the key of th
door. "
"Well. I am d d ! " said Cassel.
Kor the first time the duke betrayed sign
3f anger "Go. sir ! " he said. "And do jou
this to me "bring me the key of tha
door. "
Gunnel turned as if to go ; then , will
difficulty llftl'ig hla hands to his head , took
off hla hat. "My lord , " he said , "you ar
.veil called the King ot Hearts. For a whig
you are a d d good fellow ! "
CHAI'TCR XXXI.
What was preparing or what my Ion
Intended by conduct so extraordinary
had no tlmo to consider. For though I go
Cassel into the hall again undetected which
of Itself was a marvel when It came to
taking the key from the lock my ham
shook so violently with ! fear and excllcmen
that the first attempt failed. Before I ha
succeeded the steward bustled up throug
the ciowd. and seeing what I was about
bade mo desist with some roughness.
"Do jou want to escape that way ? " salt
he , bursting with Importance , "Leave It t
me. Here , hands oft , man. " And he drew
me Into the hall and locked the door.
So there I was , fixed as It were In th
girl's empty place with Cassel grinning a
mo nn one side and the steward grumbllnj
on the other , and the crowd so thick anou
ur that It was Impassible for me to budg
an Inch. It amazed me that the glrl'a absence
senco had not yet been noticed ; but I knew
that In no short tlmo It must be , and m
misery was in proportion. Presently , "Hal
lo " cried the steward peeping first on on
Bldo of me and then on the other , "Wher
id that slut that was hero ? "
"In with your master , " oald Cassel coolly
"Hut Chainock Is with him. "
"Well , I suppose he can have two at
tlmo If he plecsrs , Mr. Puddlnghead
Thousand devils ! Are wo going to be kep
In this ciowd nil night ? "
The steward sniffed his indignation , bu
the answer pattsfled him for the tlmo ; intl
the mcsengors and tipstaves belrg engagpc
.it the farther end of the hall In ahepherdln
thrlr prisoners on. the side of the house door
anil being crowded upon beside by gcntlemei
whom they featcd to offrnd , had no notion o
what had happened or that their talc waj
not complete. Some one had lowered am
llehted a round lanthorn that hung In th
mlddlo of the hall ; but. the light hangln
low , and being intercepted by the1 heads o
thouo before us. barely reached the oorne
In which I stood. Still I knew that this wa
but a respite and my relief and Joy wer
great when a cry of "Price ! Price' ' " wa
iaired ; and "Price ! Who Is he ? His grac
wants Price ! " passing from Up to Up , th
steward thrust me forward , and called t
the nearest to make a way for mo ; and thl
being done I was speedily passed throug
the crowd to a door at the farther side o
the hall , where two servants who stood 01
guard there having Ballsded themselves tha
I was the man , I was admitted.
I knew that I was not yet out of th
wood. Moreover. I had cause to ilotib
how I stood In .ho duke's favor , or wha
might bo his Intentions toward me , IIu
at least I had escaped from the hall nm
from the steward , whom I had begun t
regard with a mixture of fear and hatred
and J prepared to face the ordeal befor
mt > with a coinage that now seems astonish
Ing. However , for the moment my courag
was not to boproved. . The room In which
found myeclf wax large and lofty , lined fa
the mobt part with books and adorned wit
marhlo busts that gleamed ghoutly In th
obscure corners , or stood out bright urn
white where the radiance of the candles fel
on them. In the mlddlo of the rich dark car
pet that covered the floor stood a table fur
nlshfd with papers , peno and bookd ; un <
this , with three Inquisitorial chairs , e
along the farther side ot It , had a formldabl
air. Hut the three persons for whose ac
coniiuo.latlon the chalra had been plarcd
were now on their feet , standing In a grou
before the hearth , and so deeply engroKjci
In thu subject under discussion that If they
were aware of my entrance they took no no
ttco of It.

I had tfen para through the hall , a mat
even then of n great and splendid prrsenc
and address , though not what he afterwan
bec&mi' , was speaking , when , finding luysel
unheeded , I gathered my wits to listen
"I ha\o no right to give advice , > our grace , '
ho was saying In suave and courtly ac
ccnti" . "Hut I think you w'.ll ' be Ill-advised
If you pay much attention to what thes
rogues allege , or make It public. "
"No man will bo safe ! " ureed his com
panlon , with , U seemed to me , a note o
anxiety In his voice.
"Hotter hang them out of hand , " resumei
the earl blandly , AiiJ he took enuff , act
delicately dusted hla upper lip.
"V t I do not know , " tniwcred the duke

The earl laughed blandly "You hud little

"My lord Devonshire Is anxious to go Into

"Doubtk-fs he has his reasons , " Lord
Marlborough answered , shrugging his shoul-
crs. "The question Is whether your grace
las the tame. "
"I kuow none why we should not go Into
t , " the duke answered In measured tones ,
which showed pretty clearly that In fiplte ot
its good nature ho was not to be led blind-
old "They can have nothing to say that
will reflect on me. And I am sure , " he
continued , slightly Inclining his head In a
courteous fashion , "that the came may be
said of Lord Marlborough , "
"Cela va sans dire ! " answered the earl
n a voice so unconstrained and with a
gesture eo proud and easy that If ho liked ,
19 some ha\o been found ready to assert ,
ic showed n master ot that art nllke amar.-

also. "
"Hy Q d , yes ! " that peer exclaimed , In
such a hurry to asaeut that his words
umbled over one another ,
"Just EO , I say so , my lord , " the earl
repeated with a faint ring of scorn In his
: enc , while Lord Oodolphln wiped hn ! foro-
icad. "Hut Innocence Is no shield against

"Ay , by Q tl. will they ? " cried Godolphln.
"Or twenty. I'll lay the long odds to that. "
My lord boned , and admitted that It was
possible.
"So possible , ' Lord Marlborough continued
lightly and pleasantly , "that It It ? not long
since your grace , unless I am mistaken ,
suffered after that very fashion. I have no
mind to probe your secrets , duke. God for-
tild , I leave such tasks to my Lord Port

was Induced to believe that my Lord

Most amusing. "
The duke did not answer for a moment ;
then. In a voice that shook a lltlo , "It Is an
ago of false witnesses , " he said.
"Piccif-ely. ' Lord .Marlborough . answered ,
shrugging1 his shoulders with charming bon-
hommlc. "That la what I say. They do j
not greatly hurt you or me. We have clear
consciences and clean hands , and can defy
these ruffians. Hut the party must bo con
sidered. "
"Thero Is something In that , " said the
duku , nodding and speaking In hlo natural
tone.
"And smaller men , as Innocent but more
vulnerable. Ttey , too , should bo consid
ered. "
"True , " eald Lord Godolphln , nodding.
"True , by God ! '
The duke assented thoughtfully. "I will
bear It In mind. " he said. "I think It la a
questionable policy. "
t
"In any event I am sure that your graces
prudence will steer the matter to a safe
issue , " Lord Marlborough answered In his
courtliest fashion. "I thank heaven that
you are here in this emergency , and not
Portland or Auverquerque , who sec a foe
to the king In every Englishman. "
"I hhould bo sorry to bee any but an Eng
lishman In the secretary's office , " the duke
said , with a little heat.
"And yet that is what we have to expect ,
Lord Marlborough answered placidly. "But
wo arr- detaining your grace. Come , my
lord , we must be going. I suppose that Sir
John U > not taken ? "
"Sir John Fenwlck ? '
"Yes. "
"H has not been reported. "
With that the two noblemen took a formal
farewell , and the duke begging them to go
out by his private door that they might
avoid the press in the hall , they weiu crcss-
ln the room In that direction when a sudden
hubbub arose outside and a cry of alarm , and
before they had more than raised their eye
brows , asking one another politely what It
meant , the door beside which I stood was
opened and < i gentleman came In. Ho looked
with a flustered face at the duke. "Your
grace's pardon , " he eald hurriedly. "One
of the pilsonore has escaped ! "
"Eacapcd ! " said the duke. "How ? "
"The woman has somehow slipped away.
Tluough the crowd , It Is believed , your grace.
The messenger "
Uut at that moment the unfortunate official
himself appeared In the doorway , looking
reared out of his life. "What Is this ? " eald
the duke sharply.
The man whimpered. "Fore God It Is not
my fault , " ho cried , "She never passed
through the door ! May 1 die If she did ,
your grace. "
"She may be etlll In the hall ? "
"We have- searched It through and
through , " the man answered desperately. "It
icmalna only to search the house , your grace
with jour permission. "
"What ! " the duke cried , really or appar
ently staitled. "Why the house ? "
"She must have slipped into the house , for
she never went out , " the man answeied
doggedly. "She never went out. "
The duke fhrugged his shoulders and turned
to Lord Marlborough. "What do you think ? "
said he.
The earl raised his eyebrows. Uy this
tlmo halt the concourse In the hall had
prfbsed to the doorway and were staring Into
the room. "Call Martin. " said the duke.
"And stand back there a little , If > ou please , "
ho continued haughtily. "Tlili is no public
court , but my house , good people. "
Itseemed to me but 1 , behind the door ,
was In a boundleis fright that the steward
would never come. He did come at last ,
and pushing his way through the crowd pre-
ccntcil himself with a bustling confidence
that failed to hide tils appreh' slons. Nor
was the duke's reception of him calculated
to sot him at ease.
"Stand out , man ! " he said harshly , and
with a nearer approach to the tyrannical
than I had hitherto seen In a man , who
was perhaps the best natured of his t > pcclcft.
"Stand out and answer me , and no evasions.
Did I not give you an order of the strictest
character to lock the Inner door and leave
It for nothing , and no one while thb busi
ness was forward , "
Martin gasped. "May It please your
grace , " he said , "I "
"Answer , fool , what I ask , " the duke
cried , cutting him Phort with the utmcst
asperity "Did I not give you those orders ? "
The man was astonished , and utterly
terrified , "Yes , " he f > ald. "It la true , your
grace "
"And did you obey them ? "
Poor Martin seeing that all the trouble
wa. like to rest on his back , answered as
in all probability thu duke expected. "I
did , your grace , " he said roundly. "I have
not been an arm's length from the door ,
nor has It been unlocked , I have the key
here , " he continued , producing It and hold
ing It up ,
"Has any cao parsed through the door
while you have been on guard ? "
The xteward had gone too far to confess
the truth now , and uwore positively and re
peatedly that uo one had pa&sed through tbo
door or could have passed through the door ;
that It WM Impossible ; that the door bad
been locked all the time and the key In hla
ptfse slon , fnally that it the girt had gone
through the door she must tmtffgone through
the kejhole , and was a lth. At which [
some present crossed themselves.
"I am satisfied , " said the dufce addressing
the messenger. "Doubtless eho slipped
through the crowd , and sf J&u are respon
sible and will have to an f c ? tor the girl , I
would advise- you to IOPO no lime In search
ing such of Mr. Fergusoft's haunts as are
known to you. It Is probUble ! that she will
take refuge In one or otMr of them. How
ever , I will report the miller as favorably
as I can to the council. Ybu cin go , Ixxlge
(
the others according to th * < warrants and
make no second blunder. See these people
out , Martin. And for you , iffy lords 1 am
sorry that this matter has1 detained you. "
"La fille ne valalt pai-beaucoup ? " said
the earl curiously. ' '
"Pas do tout ! " my loM answered , and
smiling , shrugged his shoulders. "Illenl"
CHAPTRH XXXII.
With the least Inclination toward merri
ment I must have laughed at the face ot
horror with which Mr , .Martin , when he
went a few minutes later to expel the
last stragglers , came on me where I stood ,
trying to efface -m > self behind the door. Ho
dared uot speak , for the duke was standing
at the table a few paces from him ; and I
would not budge. Fortunately I remem
bered that a still tongue was all that ho
need wish , and I laid my finger on my
Hpa and nodded to him. This a llttlo en
couraged him , but not much , and In his fear
ot what I might , In spite of my promise , let
out , If I wcro lett alone with his master , he
was still In two minds whether he should
eject mo or not , when the duke spoke.
"Is Price there ? " he said , with his face
averted and his hanJs still busy with the
papers. "Tho man I sent for ? "
"Yes , jour grace , " Martin answered , mak
ing hideous faces at me.
"Then leave us. Shut the door. "
If my lord had spoken the moment that
waa done and wo were alone , I think It
would h.ivo relieved me. Hut he continued
to search among the papers on the table , and
left mo to sink under the weight of the
stately room with Its ordered rons of books ,
Its ticking dial and the mute busts ot the
great dead. The duke's coat lay across a
chair , his embroidered star alltterlng on the
breast ; his sword and dispatch box were 01
another chair , and a tlilngitliat I took to b
the signet gleamed among the papers on the
table. From the lofty mantelpiece of vclnei
marble that , supported byViJiuge rampan
dogs , towered high above me ( the work a
I learned of tern aid of thu famous Inlgo
Jones ) , the portrait of a tnan In armor
with a warden In his mailed hand , frownei
j dowu oil mo , and the stillness continuing
unbroken , and all the thinks I saw speak
Ing to me , gravely and yclghtlly , of a
world hitherto unkijown to me i
world wherein the foot exchanged the thlcl
pllo of carpels for the/sbOndlng tread o
Parian , and orders were obeyed unspoken
and sable-vested servants went to and fro
at a sign a woild of old traditions , old ob
scrvanccs and old customs'revolvlng around
this man still young , I'felt my spirits sink
the distance was so great from the sphere
I had known hltnerto. Every moment tht
silence grew more oppressive , the ticking
of the clock more monotonous ; it was ai
immense relief when the duke suddenly
spoke , and addressing me In his ordinary
tone , "You can write ? " said be.
"Yes , your grace. "
"Then sit here , " he replied , Indicating a
seat at the end of the table , "and write
what I shall tell jou. "
And before I could marvel at the ease o
the transition , I was seated , quietly writing
what I can nu longer remember , for It was
the first only of many hundred papers o
pilvate and public importance which 1 was
privileged to write for his signature. My
hand shook , and It Is unlikely that I ex
hlblted much of the natural capacity foi
such work , which it has been my lot to
manifest since ; nevertheless Ms grace , aftc
glancing over it was pleated to express his
batlsfactlon. "You Icaiiied to do this with
Hrome ? " Mid he.
"Yes , your grace. "
"Then now , " he continued , seating him
self 1 had risen icspecWully "Tell me wha
happened to you yesterday. "
I had no choice but to obey , but before
I told my story , seeing that ho , was In a
good humor and so favorably Inclined to me
I spoke out what was In my mind ; and In the
most moving termp possible I conjured hln
to piomlse mo that I should not be forced to
bean evidence. I would tell him all , I wouh
be faithful and true to him and ask nothing
better than to be his servant but be an In
former In court I dared not.
"You dare not ? " he said , with an odi
look at me. "And why not , man ? "
Hut all I could answer was , " I dare not. '
"Are jou afraid of these villains ? " he
continued Impatiently. "I tell you , wo have
them ; It is they who have to fear ! "
Hut I still clung to my point. I wouli
tell , but I would give no evidence ; I darei
not.
not."I

I answered giovelllng before him , that 1

"Hut. who of us Is not ? " he arnvverei
with a sudden gesture between scorn am
self-reproof. "Do you mean that , man ? '
and he fixed his eyes on me. "Well It Is
true. Who of us Is not ? ' he repeated slowly
and turning from me ho began to pace the
room , his linculs clasped behind him ; so tha
before he made a single turn It was easy
to tee that he had forgotten my preuciieo
"Who of us Is not afraid If not of thcae
scoundrels , still of the future , of the return
of Jacobus Iracundus et logons of another

astonishment at the Interruption.

cro of opinions the faimers of Uste. Hut

my word. Bo toll me all you know , and
what befell you jeuterday. "
I bad no dcelro but U > do no oa those
terms and ono * m ll matter cxcc-pted ; ami' '
not only to do that , but all things that could
serve him. Ncvertheli 9 , and though 1 had
high hopes ot what I might get by hta grace
and favor , I was far from underitamllng
that that was the beginning of twenty
cars ot faithful labor at bis side ; ot a mst- I i
er of 15,000 papers written under his eje , ] I
f whole ledgera made up. or estateaccounts 1
Kilancc-d ami tallies collected ot many win *
era and summers spent amont his books ,
Ither In the placid elinilcs of Bjford or In
ho dignified quiet of St. Janice' sq Hut ,
AS I havosald * , though I did not , foresee all
his , I hoped much , and more as , my tate
iroeeedlng , my lord's generous emotion bc-
came evident. When I had done he said I
many kind things to me , respecting the |
peril I had escaped , and adding to their
alue by his manner of sajlng them and by
ho charm which no other so perfectly pos-1
scssed , he left me at last no resource but
0 quit the room In tears.
Treated thus with a klndncas S3 much
above my deports as It as admirable In
ono of his transcendent rank , and assured ,
moreover , by my lord's own mouth that
icnceforth , In gratitude for the service I
iad done him In Ferguson's room he would
irovldo for me , I should have stood I ought
o have stood In the seventh heaven of
felicity. Hut as suffering moves unerring
on the track of weakness , and no man en-
oj-s at any moment perfect bliss , I had
first to learn the fate ot the girl whose
evasion I had contrived. And when a cau
tious search and questions as crafty had
satisfied mo that she had reallj- effected her
cscapo from the house probably In n man s
dress , for one of the lacquejs complained ot
the lees of a suit of clothes I had still a
care , and a care which gnawed more
sharply with every hour of ease and saVty.
Needless to say , the one matter on which
1 had been reticent , the ono actor whose
presence on the scene I had not disclosed to
my lord , lay at the bottom ot my anxiety.
Kind In action nndecneroiis In Intention as
the duke had shown himself , his magnanimity
had not availed to oust from my mind the
terror with which Smith's threats had Im
bued1 tt ; nor while confessing all else hadI
been able to bring mj-self to denounce the
conspirator , or detail the terms on which he
had set me free. Though I had all the In
ducement to speak which tlio certainty inai
his arrest would release me could present ,
oven this and the security of the haven In
which I lay failed to cncoure me to the
point of hazard , so strong was the hold on
mv fears which this man had compassed ,
and so complete the slavery to which he had
reduced my will.
But thouch at the time of confession J
found It a relief to be silent about him , th's
same silence presently left me alone to cope
with him , and with the fears sufficiently
colgnant , which his memory awakened ; the
result being that with prospects more favor
able and a future better assured than 1 had
ever Imagined would be mine , or than nny
man of my condition had a right to expect , I
still found this drop of poison In my cup.
It was not enough that all things nnd my
natron favoring me. I sank easily Into the
uosltlon ot his privy clerk , that I retained
that excellent room In which I had first been
placed , that I found mjsclf accepted by the
household as a fact so that never a man
saved from drowning by a strand had a right
to pialse his fortune as. I had ; nor that , the
wind fiom every quarter , seeming , at the
same time to abate , the prisoners went for
trial , and nothing said of me , while Fergu
son , of whose complicity no legal pi oof couli'
bo found , lay In prison under the suspension
of the habeas corpus , and kept silence ; nor
even that a ilotc came from Mary , ostensibly
from Dunkirk , and without compromising me
Informed me of her safety. It was nol
enough , I cay , that each and all of these
things happened bejond my hopes , for in the
midst of my prosperity , whether I stood writ-
lug at my lord's elbow In the stillness of the
stately library , or moved at ease throug !
the corridor , greeted with u pect bv my fel
low servants , and with civility by all , I was
alike haunted by the thought and terror o
Smith , and the knowledge that at any mo
ment the conspirator might appear to hur
me from this , paradise. The secrecy which
I had maintained about him doubled his
vower ; even as the ease and luxury In which
I lived presented lit darker and fouler colors
the sordid scenes and perils through which 1
had waded to tills eminence , and into which
too. unless I was mistaken , his return mlgh
plunge me again.
CHAPTER XXXIII.
I think that I had spent a week , or II
may be more , In this situation of mingled
ease and torment , when on coming down
one morning after a hag-ridden night , 1
heard a stir In the hall ; and going that way
to learn what It menat , met the servants
returning In a crowd from the front acid
talking low about something. Martin , who
was foremost , cried : "Ha , j'oti are late. "
And then drawing me aside , into a lltlo deu
he had beside the passage. "They have
taken him to the olllce , " he said. "But
lord's sake , Mr. Price , " he continued , liftIng -
Ing his eyebrows and pursing up his lips
to express his astonishment , "who would
have thought It ? Her ladjshlp will bo In
a taking ! I hope there may be no more
In It than appears ! "
"In what ? " said I
"In his arrest , " he answered , ej'clng mo
with meaning , and then softly , closing the
door on us "I hope it may end there. That
Is all I say ! Between ourselves. "
"You forget , " I cried with Irritation , "that
I know nothing about It ! What arrest ?
And wbo Is arrested ? "
"Mr. Urldgcs' man of business. "
"What Mr. Bridges ? " I cried.
"Lord , Mr. Price , have jou no wits ? "
he answered , staring at me. "My lord's
mother's husband. The countess , to bo sure !
You must know Mr Smith. "
It needed uo more than that ; although
without a name , we might have goneon
at cross-purposes for an hour. But the
name the world held only cno Smith for
me , and he , It seemed , was ant-rated.
He waa arrested ! It was with the great
est difficulty that I could control my Joy.
Fortunately the llttlo cub , wheie wo stood
was Ill-lighted , and Martin , a man too much
taken up with his own consequence to bo
ovcrobservant of his companions. Still for
a moment I was perfectly overcome , the
cffervoscenso of my bplrlts such that I could
do nothing hut lean against the wall of
the room , my heart bounding with joy and
my head singing a paean of jubilation
Smith was taken ! Smith was In the hands
of justice ! Smith was anested and I vvcs
free.
free.Tho
The flrft rapture past , however , I began
to doubt , partly because the news seemed
to bo ton good to bo true , and partly be
cause , though Martin had continued to bab
ble , I had heard not a word. Wild , there
fore , to have the thing confirmed , I cut him
short ; and crying , "Hut what Smith Ir It , def
f > ay ? Who Is he ? ' I hi ought htm back to
the point nt which he had left me.
"WhjMr Price , ho answered , "I thought
every one knew Mr , Smith , Mr. Smith , Mr.
Urldgro' factotum , land steward , what jou
will. Ho married the counters' fine madame
madame they call her In the household ,
though she is no Fiench thing , but Hcrt-
foidshlro born , aa I knew by her speech ,
when my lord first took up with her. But
not every ono knons that. "
"When my lord took up with her ? " I said ,
groping among lialf-i"cognised objects , and
beginning so much light may couio through
the least chink to fee day ,
Mr. Martin nodded confidentially. "That
la how oho rame to bo with my lady. " ho
said. "Ar < l Mr Smith , too' My lord met
her somewhere when ho was young and gay
and took up with her , and to pleat > e her got
the place for Mr Smith , who had been her
flame before. However , my lord soon tired
of her , for though she wa a beauty she had
common wajn and was as bold as brafn ;
so when ho parted from her she went back
to her old love , who had first made her the
mode ; and married him. I have heard that
my lord was In a pretty taking when ho
found her planted at the countebx. Hut I
have nothing to ay agalnft her. "
"Does my lord sco her now , ' I hald with
un cffoit
"When ho does ho looks pretty block
at her And I fancy that there IB no love
loit on frer side "
"What did you say that they called her ? "
I asked.
" .Madame Mmo. Montercj- . "
I remembered where I had beard the name
bcfoio and who had berne It ; and naw to
much light that I was dazzled. "And my
lord's mother who married Mr. Bridges ?
Shu ! n a papist ? "
"Hush1 ! he said. "Tho ICVH said about
buch things the better , Mr. Price. "
Hut I pemlsti-d , "It wan she who ran off
with my Lord llucklngham In King Charles'
time. " I cried , "and held his horse while he
killed her hiicband : And who had Mr. Kllll-
grew itabbed In the btreets. and "
In a panic he clapped his hand to my
mouth , "God , manJio cried , "do jou
know * hf > re you are , or l your head turned ?
Do you think that this bonce la a fit place
to give tongue to such thlnge ? Lord , jou
will be but a nhort tlmo hero , and to the
pillory when you go , It you throw jour
touguc that way ! I have not blabbed as
