Chapter XXXttl-Continued ,
lie was so righteously Indignant at the
presumption of which I had been guilty In
attacking the family , that though It wan his
own Indiscretion that had led me to the
point , t made haste to mutter an apology ,
nnd doing thin with the littler grace for the
remembrance that Smith was now power
less , and his wicked plans abortive , I con
trived presently to appease him. But the
ferment which the discovery 1 had made
wrought In my spirits moved mo to escape
as quickly as possible to my room , there to
consl.lcr at leisure tlio miserable position In
nhlch , but for Smith's timely capture , 1
must havu found myself ,
A rflisplclon of the truth 1 had entertained
before , but this certainty that the man 1 waste
to bo trepanned Into personating was my
benefactor , and that In the plot his own
mother was engaged , tilled me with as tnucli
horror , when 1 considered th ? necessity of
complying , under which I might have lain ,
as thankfulness when I rellucted on the
escape I had had. Nor did these two con
siderations , overwhelming as they may well
appear , account for all the agitation 1 was
experiencing. Mr. .Martin , In speaking of
31 tm , ' , .Monterey's origin , bad mentioned
Hertfordshire , and the name , bringing to
gether two sets of farts , hitherto so distant
In my mind , that 1 had never undertaken to
connect them , had In a flash picscntcd Smith
nnd madam In their true colors. Why I had
not before associated the Smith I now knew ,
with that T'luplur Smith , whom I darkly '
rotnembc'red as Jenny's accomplice In my
early trouble , why I had not recognised In
1ho v oman'tf coarsely handsome features
the charms that thirteen years bufore had
flrud my boy's blood and brought me to the
foot of the gallows , Is not more dllllcult to
explain than why this one mention ot
Hertfordshire sulllccil to raise the curtain ;
ay , and not only to raise It , but to set the
wliolo drama no plainly before mo that I
could bu no wiser had I followed every scene
In madam's ' life , and a witness of her t-hame-
ful debut under Smith's protection , her
seduction at my lord and nor period of
splendor , had attended her In her fiml
declension , when a discarded mistress she
saw no better alternative than a marrlago
with her former protector.
How greatly the Identification of the two
conspirators Increased the loathing In which
I ho'.d ' their ( schemes , as well as my relief
upon the reflection that those schemes were
now futile , I will not say. Sulllco It , that
the knowledge that but for Smith's arrest
I must have chosen between playing the
basest part In the world and running a
risk whereat I shuddered , filled me with
thankfulness Immeasurable ; a thankfulness
which I d.d not fall to pour out on my
knees , nnd which was In no degree lessened
by a shuddering conscious-mess , that In that
dilemma , had Providence not averted It , I
might , aye , should have played the baser
part.
part.No
No wonder that a hundred harrowing
recollections crowded on my mind ; or that
under the pretence ot these the tumult of
my spirits became BO powerful that I
presently seized my hat , and hastily escap
ing from the house , sought In rapid move
ment some relief from the unpleasant retro
spect. Crossing the green park , I chose
a field path that led by the I'lmllco marshes
to Fulham ; and gradually the songs of the
larks and the spring sunshine for the day
was calm and serene leading my mind Into
n more cheerful groove , I began to dwell
rather on the fact of my escape than en the
crime from which I had escaped ; and , con
templating the secure career that now lay
In view before me , 'I ' was not long In seeing
that thankfulness should be my strongest
feeling. Turning my back on Smith acid
his like , I began to build tny house again ;
saw a smiling wife nnd babes and days
spent between my home and my lord's
papers ; and then a green old age and slip
pered feet tottering through the quiet shades
of a library. Before I turned , I had roofed
the house with on honorable hcadstoi.e , and
felt the tears rise In generous sympathy
with the village assembled to do the old man
honor.
In a word , tasting the lull relief of emanci
pation , I became so gay and lightsome that
even the smoke and din of London , \\hen
"NO , " I MUTTERKD , "I SHALL NOT GO. "
1 re-untercd It , failed to subdue the unusual
liumor. I could have sung ; I could have
laughed alound. Let the dead past bury Its
dead ! For Ferguson , Smith , the Monterey
a fig ! Who had come off best after nil ?
lAnd of thejr flno plottlngs and conirlvlngs
what had bceu the upshot ? They had failed
and I had triumphed ; they were prisoners ;
I was free and safe.
Near the garden wall of Buckingham
liousii there was n bear dancing , nnd a
pi ess of people round It , I stayed to watch ,
and In my mood found the fun so much to
my taste that I threw the man.a penny and
wont on laughing. A little farther , by
the edge of the lake , was a man wltli a bar
row and dice then a novelty , though now
BO prevalent that at the last sessions I am
told the thing was presented for a n llsancc ,
I stcod here and taw a man lose , and In
the exaltation of my spirits pushed him
libido nnil laid down u shilling and won and
won again nnd agnln ; whether Uio cog
fulicd or the trucksler who owned the bar
row thought me a good bait. ICitLcr way
I took up my winnings with an air and
hectored away as good a bully ns another ;
placed for thu moment < n far above myself
and common majesty thnt I wondered
whether I should ever sink back Into the
timid citizen or feel my eyes drop before
o brave's ,
Ainu , In a moment , quantum muUtus ab
Illu. At the corner of the Cockpit , toward
Slon house , I met Matthew Smith ,
I had no doubt , I know all In an Instant
and turned sick. He was free , alone ,
walking with his head high and un easy
gait. Worse , he saw me ; saw how I cow
ered and shrank Into myself and became
Another man ut sight of him.
Slackening his paca as he came up he
halted bcfora mo , with that quiet devll'u
srln on his face. "Well , " he salu , "How
ate you , Mr. Price ? I was looking for
jou. "
"For me , " I muttered. "I thought I
lieard that you were arrested. "
"A mistake ! " lie answered , continuing to
mile. "A mistake ! Some other Smith. "
"And you were uot arrested ? " 1 whis
pered.
"O. I wa * arrested I" he amwered jaun-
tlly. "And tnkon to the eccrotary. And
of course released. Thcrol You have It
nil. "
I uttered an exclamation ; two words
wrung from me by despite.
Thereat , nnd pretending ; to mlBimdcistand
me , "You thank God ? Very kind of you ,
Mr. Price. " said he , grinning. "Like mas
ter , Ilk6 man. 1 see. Thu duke was kind
ness Itself. Hut I must be going. " And
then , arresting himself In tbe act of leav
ing me , "You liavo heard , he continued ,
"that the poor devil Chat nock stands his

hlb hcatl with n smile that chilled the innr-

might bo applied with propriety , I fell to n

that I should choose the evil and eschew tno

Trough the few formal words that they had '

to was at home here ns everywhere ; what
ould I do against him ?
"Do you understand , Mr. Price ? " he re-
leatcd. "Or are you a bigger fool that I
ako you for ? "
"Why ? " I stammered.
"Why ? Why , to push In on Porter after
hat fashion , " he muttered under his breath
for Merlin was making toward us. "Lucky

'or n great ho would do It or to spite the
Hike ! Take care , man,1 he continued , sc-
lously , "If you do not want to Join Charlock -
lock , whose head la In airy quarters tonlghl. "
This left mo lo ihe prey of n new terror ;
or remembering that I had once seen Por-
cr at Ferguson's lodging , I could not shut
ny eyes to the reasonableness of the wani
ng. I saw myself beset by dangers on that
side also , went for a time on eggs , and
trembled al every sound ; Indeed for a full
ortnlght I never passed the threshold ex
cusing myself on the ground ot vertigo ,
f ordered lo go on errands. In the course
of that fortnight I had a thousand oppor-
unities of contrasting the quiet In which
lived , behind the dull windows ot the
great house , with the dangers Into which
might at any moment be ( lung ; and If any
man ever repented of anything , I repented
of my lack of candor respecting Smllh.
From lime to lime I saw him pass , grim ,
I'sprved , with a walking menace. When ho
ooked up al Uio windows I read mastery
and n secret knowledge In his eye ; whllo
Iho way In which ho wenl nnd came , free
and unquestioned , was llself'a monition ;
vns It to be wondered that I feared this
nan who , while Chnrnock's head mouldered
on n spike on Temple Bar , and Friend and
1'erkyns passed to the gallows , walked the
strand , and lounged In the mall , as safe lu
jppiaranre ns my lord himself.
I knew that al any moment ho mlghl call
ipou me to fulfill my word. Whether In
hat case , the demand being such as to allow
me leisure to forecast the consequences , I
should liavo complied , or taking my corango
in my hands have thrown myself on my
lord's Indulgence , I cannot now say ; for In
the Issue a sudden and unforscen shifting of
scene prevented my calculations nnd hurried
mo onwards whether I would or no.
It happened , I have said , suddenly. One
afternoon there came a great bustle In the
squar ? ; and who should It bo but the
countess , my lord's mother , come to visit
him In her coach and six , with such a
paraphernalia of gentlewomen and negro
pages , outriders and running footmen as
drew together all the ragamufllns from Ihe
mews , and fairly brought back T' " ?
Charles' ( lays. As Ihe great coach , which
held six inside , swung and lumbered to a
stand at the door , I saw a painted face
with bold black eyes glare from ilio window ,
check by Jowl with a 'parot and three or
(
four spaniels ; and I waited to see little
more , a single glance sufficing to certify
me that this was the same woman to whose
house Smith had taken me. Smith was In
attendance on her , and a gentleman in a
plain black suit nnd wig , who was n papist
priest If I ever saw one , nnd Monterey , nnd
two or three other gentlewomen , nnd ns I
had no mind to be recognized by these , or
for thai maltcr by their mislress , I made
haslo to retire behind the flock of servants
whom Martin had marshalled In the hall
to do the honors.
My lord went out to the coach and
brought the countess In , with n great show
of reverence ; and for three-quarters of an
hour they were closeted together In his
room. I took advantage of this to retire up
stairs , and had been wiser had I stayed
there , or betlcr still , slipped out at Ihe
back. Dul a craving came to me to see
Monterey again , and with the knowledge
I now had , ascertain If she really was my
old mistress. This drew me to the hall
again ; where the crowd being great , nnil
ths servants taken up with teasing the
countess' parrH and blackmoors , I managed
to avoid observation , and at the same time
see what I wanted. The woman who had
once been all the world to me and of whom
I could not now think without a tender
regret , directed , not to her , but to Ihe state
of blissful dawning passion , of which she
had been the cause , and whereo ! no man Is
twice capable was still handsome in a
coarse fashion and when seen at a distance.
I could not deny that. Hut If I desired
revenge I had It ; for not only was her
complexion gone , so that her good looks
vanished when the viewer approached , but
her lips had grown Ihln and'her face hard
with the Indescribable hardness which
speaks of past sin long grown bitter and an
hourly , dally recognition that the wages of
sin Is death.
Presently , whllo Mr. Martin was pressing
his civilities on her , and I from a corner ,
near the door through which I had let Mary
escape , waj curiously read'rig her coun
tenance , the door of my lord's room opened ,
and the countess came out , supported on
the ono side by the duke's arm , on the
other by her great ebony cane. The servants
hurried to form two-lines nnd I suppose
curiosity led me to press nearer than was
prudent , or her eyes were of peculiar sharp
ness , or perhaps she lo'oked for me , and had
I not been there would have called for me.
At any rate , she had not moved Ihreo steps
toward her coach before her gaze , roving
along tbe line of servants , alighted on me ,
and she stood ,
"I'll have thai rascal ! " Bhe cried. In her
high , shrill \nlce , and she pointed at me
with her cane and stood. "He looks as If
butter would * not melt In his mouth , but 1'
he Is not a lad of wax call me a street slut !
Hark you , mv mm , , you como with me , Hid
him. Shrnvsbury ! "
My lord. Ills face flushed , spoke low and
sesmeil to make demur , but she persisted.
"Odd's llfo. you make mo sick ! " she cried ,
Irrltablv. "You will not ( tils and you fancy
that ! The servants flo to for a fool ! In
mv time master was master , and If nnv
blabbed , man or maid , It was strip and whip !
tint now do you quarrel with me or do you
not ? "
The duke shrugged his shoulders nnd
smiled uneasily. "Times are somewhat
changed , madam , " ho said ,
"Ay. by our lord , they are ! " slio cried
nwcarliig roundly. "And why ? Because
( hero ore no men nowadays , but mealy-
mouthed Josephs , like that trembler yonder ,
whose heart Is In his iboots , because I want
him to carry a mesame , " Anil she pointed
to me with her long cane , while her head
nnlvcred with excitement and ape "Sort
him out , sort him nut and send him with
me or wo nuarrol. my lord. "
"Well madam , your wll | It law In this
hpimo. " Ihe duke said , "but "
"Fl'it no lies ! " she cried , "D'ye send
him ? "
Mv lord bowed reluctantly. "Go , " he
said. Inoklnz at me.
"And bid him do as I tell him. " die cried
sharply. Hut he had. better , or still , tell
him- tell him. "
"Price. " my lord fald soberly. "Ihe
countess I ? good enough to wh V"ypu to do
an errand for her. He good tlioueh to con
sider yourself at her disposal , And go with
the coach now , He easy , " ha continued ,
nodding pleasantly. It vts.Imposslbln for
me to hide my apprehensions. "Her lady
ship needs you for a week only. "
"Ay , sure ! " she cried , "Affer that lie
may go to tbe devil for me ! "

So It Is with me. While I dreamed of

and I fell , not knowing. Tilt'countess' coach

mo the won ) . From ttif fifaln clothes , to
ths long curled pcrukef the" cravat , ruffles
anil flno suit In which''t' ' had once before
paraded myself , was but'hilitep ; I took It
perforce , nnd , being conducted , when I was
ready. Into the countesB'- Chamber , to wait
her pleasure , could have fancied the last
six months a dream could have ( fancied the
conspirators still nt work , Captain Uarclay
still pacing the piazza , my lonl still n
stranger to me , the library a vision ; In a
word , I could have fancied all those events ,
which had filled half a j-c r , to be no more
than creatures of tn < ) Imagination , so un
changed was the great silent room , where ,
my lady , while I waited , played piquet with
Monterey , amid { he gorgcousncss ot her
rose-nnd-sllvcr suite.
The monkey gibbered as of old , and the
parrot vied with Ihe broldcred .parrots on the
wall , and tioxv , as thcni the air was heavy
with scent and musk , while' the light , cun
ningly arranged , fell-on the part where the
countess sat , now grumbling nnd now
swearing , or now , while Uie cards were dealIng -
Ing , thumping Iho floor Impatiently with her
stick. She had so perfectly the grand nlr
of n past generation that'when her eye lurncd
In my direction I Irclnbled and thought no
more of resistance ! yet , when she resumed
Ihe gnme , she gradually- and moro and more
completely , as I watched sank Into n queru
lous feeble , fierce old woman , whoso pas
sion , where It did not lerrlty , moved to derl.
slon , and whose fads anil fancies , as patent
as the day , placed her nl the mercy of nil
who cared to llntler or cozen her.
Madame was about It now , leltlng her win
, and again getting sllghOadvantngp , ming
ling hints at old vaiiUics and conquests
j ( whereat my lady grow garrulous ) with new
scandals , coarse and spiteful ; winning a llt-
1 tie when my lady , in n. fury caused by n bad
j hand , struck her across the face with a fan
i to teach her to be awkward , but cheering up
at once when the countess' mood changed
j with the cards. In a word , as she had be
trayed me young , she cozened my lady old ;
but. seeing her features grown hard with
I i time , and her eyes grown lifeless , and the
] I devil grinning more"plninly from behind
i the mask , that had'once , been so fair , it
I WES a wonder to me thatve.ven the countess
j was deceived. . * ,
I I presently my lady ihrewTlown her cards
In. a rage , and calling ller opponenl a cheat
' ing slut , proceeded toi ; lurn her anger on
'me. "What Is the gaby doing , standing
I there HkoVa hawk ? " eh shrieked. "Why is
ho not abbut his business ? " , .
Monterey whlsper0a lner that I hnd not
had my lrH tructlons. S
"Then give them .nndjlct him go ! " she
cried. "Where is the1 ring ? Here , you
daw in peacock's feathers \\kc \ my son. In
deed ? About as like as fliat squinting vlxon
Vllllers Is to a beauty ! Take that and ride
with Matlhew Smith and give It to the
gentleman you will meet al the Inn nt Ash-
ford , nnd say 'Monterey ' tell him what to
say. "
"Say , 'Colonel Talbot sends llils ring znd
his services. ' And if Iho genlleman asks
'whither ? ' or this or that , lo whatever he
asks , answer thus : 'I am not here. Sir
John , to answer questions. Favor me by
conveying that ring and my services whither
you are gojng. I do not talk , but when the
lime comes I bhall act. ' "
"C'est lout ! " said the countess , nodding
approval. "If you are not man enough to
repeat thai , whip you for a noodle ! Say it ,
man. "
But when I went to say it first I could
not remember It , and. broke down ; and then
when my lady , storming , at me for a fool
nnd an embeclle , I had , got the sentences
into my head , I but whimpered them , brljg-
Ing no heart to the task. My lady when
she saw that flew out at me afresh , and
threw first the vapours bottle and then her
cano at me ; which latler , breaking a piece
of china , pul her fairly beside herself ,
"Como here ! " she shrieked , swaying to and
fro in her chair. "Do you hear , you puling ,
psalm-singing canter. Come here , I say ! "
Arid when , trembling nnd scared , I had approached
preached , the leant forward , and seizing
hold of my ear , as Ferguson had once seized
II , she Iwlsted It with such unexpected
strength and spite that I roared with pain ,
and fairly fell on my knees beside her.
"There Is for you , grps eochon ! " slits cried.
"Su you can speak up wncu you like ! Now
go to the end of the room , my man , and
play your part again , and play It belter !
Or , by I will have up those who shall
lash your back to the itione. Hoity-toity !
These are fine times , when bcum like you ,
my lad , put on airs ! "
This was not the discipline , nor were
these the threats , lo give an aclor courage ;
but In sheer desperation I spoke up and , this
time , bad the good fortune to please her ;
and , Monterey mocking me and pushing me
this way and thai I went through my part
a dozen times. At length the countess ex
pressed herself satisfied and with a grim
1 nod , and un "Odd's very life , he Is not so
unlike after all ! " gave me leave lo go.
But when I was half way to the door
she called me back ; and after I had timidly
obeyed , she sat awhile , glowering at mo In
silence. At last , "No , " eho said Irritably ,
"It's too late ! " And she .struck on the floor
with her stick. "It's ted late to turn back !
Thu cross devil did nqthlag , but thwart , me
today , and what he wljl not do bon gre , ho
'
shall do by perforce , llo'fi'as brought It on
himself , and he must Ulde his destiny ! Yet
Monterey ! " i i-s
The woman was at hec ldo In n montent.
"Yes. madam ? " ,
"I suppose that there1 Is no danger of a
contretemps , " she said ? stirring restlessly In
her chair , "Sir John will feet nwny ? They
will not tnko him aifd' find the ring and
learn whoso It Is ? " < > 'J ' < * '
On that , If I had been.quick , and had had
both wits and courage > at < command , I should
have thrown myself at ihcH feet ; and so I
mlghl have opened hep.WJeai Hut I wavered ,
nnd before I had found Iheart to do It. the
waiting woman , emoothuAnd watchful , was
In the breach. > , d lo
"Ashford , my lady , IH nuly three hours'
riding from DymchuroJj ln.-.tio ! marsh , " she
said , "where Ihe boat /wa(5ifor / | ( him tomorrow -
, row night , Sir John IB wojluinounted , and It
will be odd If , after , jbaWlng pursuit for
1 months , he should be taken In that time. "
"Yes ; yes ! " my lady said garrulously.
"Lst him go. Let him go. , Though you nre
n fool to boot. A man Is taken or not taken
in less than three hours. Even now. If thai
contrary devil of a t > on pf mine had not ar
gued with me , and argued with mo today
bul let him go , Lei him go ! "
Tue woman lost no time In taking her at
her word and hurrying me out ; not by the
main entrance through which I had come
In. but by the little side door leading to 'the
dingy lobct at the head of the private stair
case. In the clotet a bright unshaded lamp
burned 01. the dusty table , and beside It
stood Matthew Smith , wearing a cloak , rid
ing boots nnd a great flapped bat. Ho
lopked eagerly at the woman , his eyes shin
ing In tbe glare of the lamp ; but be did not
speak until she had closed the door behind
her , Then. "Is It right ? " he whispered.
She nodded.
"You have got the ring ? "
She gave It to him with a smile of triumph.
He looked at U , and nith 3 t'rlm face
lipped it into his pocket. "Good. " ho 8 ld ,
'and now , my friend , the sonner we are
way the bettor. "
Hut my gorge rose. On the lable beside
lira , In the full glare of the lamp , lay a
leak and holsters , A mask , sword and riding
whip. I knew what these objects mfAnt
nd for what and for whom they were pro-
lared , and at the prospect ot the plunge Into
he dark nlghl , of the journey nnd the
icrlls of the unknown road , I cried out tint
would not go ! I would not go ! And ,1
rled to force my way back into the
ountess' room with what Intention heaven
mows.
llut Smith whipped between mo nnd the
loor. "You fool ! " he said , pushing mo
back. "Are you mad ? Or don't you know
ne yel ? "
"I know you too wclM" I cried , beslJo my
self with rage and with apprehensions of the
) lungc on the brink or which 1 stood. "You
mve cursed me from the first day I saw i
ou at Ware. You have been the curs * o !
my lite. Tou , and thai Jezebel. " I
"Aro you mad ? " he said agdln , nnd Ihreat-
ncd mo with his hand.
Hue she came a step nearer to mo and I
leered at mo , and after one look took the'c
amp from the table and held It to my.
ace. "At Ware ? " she said. "At Worot |
And then , pulling the lamp back on Iho.i
able , she fell lo laughing. "Ho I ? right. "
she said. "I know him now. But you told
me that his name was Taylor. "
"Taylor ? " he said wrathfttlly. "So It Is , i
and Price , nnd halt a dozen other nnmes , for
all I know. What does It matter what his
name Is ? "
" 0. It mailers very much , " she salit
affecting to ogle mo In an exaggerated
'ashlon. "Ho Is an old flame of mine.
Ills face always brought something to my
mind bul I Ihought that It was his like
ness to Ihe duke. "
Ho cursed her old flames , and the duke.
i\nd then , "What does It mean ? " he salJ.
"Who Is he ? "
"Ho Is the lad we lefl at Ware In Iho
old woman's room , " she answered , her voice
Kinking nnd growing almost soft. "Lord , II
seem.8 so long ago. It might liavo happened
In another llfo ! You remember him , Matt ?
You saw him with me nt the Hose one
night ? The first night I saw you. "
He looked al me long nnd strangely. "And
what docs it mean ? " he sold at last , scowlIng -
Ing between wonder and suspicion.
She shrugged her shoulders. "Sals pas ! "
she answered. "Ask him. "
"You have ruined mo once , " I crlsd. "And
ho saved me ! And now you would have mo
ruin' him. You are "devils , " you are ! Devils !
But , I defy you ! "
He did not answer , hut continued to stare
at mu , as If ho discerned or suspected thai
there was more In this than appeared on
the surface. Ut length the woman laughed ,
and he turned to her , rage In his face. "I
see nothing to laugh at , " he sold.
"But I do , " she answered pertly. "You
three all mixed up ! It would make a cat
laugh , my lad. "
Ho cursed her. "Have done with that ! "
IIB s'dld fiercely. "And say what Is to bo
done. "
"Hone ? " she answered briskly and In a
tone of genuine surprise. "Why , that which
was to bo done. What difference does this
make ? "
But he looked nt her , pondering darkly ,
as if It did mnke n difference. I suppose
that somewhere , deep down in his nature ,
there lurked n grain of superstition , which
found in this singular coincidence , this
sudden stringing together of persons long
parted , an evil omen.
Or It may be that he had still some s"rati
of conscience b ft , that , i > carcd and deadened
as It was , stirred and smarted nt this strange
upheaval of an old crime. At any rate , "I
don't know , " he growled ut last. "I don't
like It , and that is flat. There is some prac
tice In this. "
"There Is a fool In It , " she answered
naively. "And there arc like lo be two. "
I thoucht to back him up , nnd I biuced
mvpclf against the wall to which I had re
tired. "I won't go ! " I said doggedly. "I
will call for help in the streets first ! "
"You will do ns you are told , " she answered
coollv. "And you , " she continued to Smith ,
in a voice if stinging scorn , "are you going
to clve it up now , when all Is safe ? . Will
you stand to my lord ns this poor , silly
fellow "stands to you ? Have you waited for
vears for your revenge to move aside now ?
Why , my G d , the duke Is worth ten of you.
He Is a man at any rate. He is "
"Peace , girl , " he cried , with I know not
what of menace In his tone.
"Then will you go ? "
"Yes. I will go ! " he answered between
his teeth. "But by heaven , you slut , If 111
comes of It I will wring your neck ! I
will , EO help me heaven ! You shall deceive
no other man ! If the-e Is practice of yours
In this , If this tool Is here by your con
nivance "
"He is not ! " she answered. "Be satis-
fled. "
Ar ; arently ho was satisfied , for he drew
a deep breath nnd stood silent. She turned
lo me. "Get ready , " she snld sharply.
"No , " I muttered , summoning nil my
resolution. "I shall not go. I I have not "
Smith turned to me and Ihe refusal died
on my lips. The struggle with the woman
had roused the man's passions ; and I read
In his eyes such a glare of ferocity as chilled
my blood and unstrung my knees. Nor was
that all. for -vhen , I went , trembling , to take
Ihe cloak "One moment , " he said grimly ,
"not so fast , my friend. Let us understand
one another before we start , Mr. Price or
Mr , Taylo" , or whatever your name Is , take
note , do you hear me , of Ihrce things. One ,
thnt the business we are on is life cr death.
Do you grasp that ? "
I muttered a shuddering assent.
"Secondly , " he continued , with the same
gruesome civility , "My hnnd will never be
moro than six Inches from the butt of n pis
tel , until I see this home ugaln. Do you
grasp that ? "
I nodded.
"Thirdly , " at the least sign of treachery
or disobedience on your part , I blow out
your brains first ; my own aflorward. If lhat
bo necessary. Do you grasp thnt ? "
"I nodded. "That is cspeclnlly well , " ho
said. "Because the last item Is Importanl
to you. On the other hand , Mr. Price , play
honest John with me , and In forty-eight
hours you shall bo back lu your master's
house , free nnd safe ; and I shall trouble
you no more. Do you understand that ? "
I said I did ; my teeth chattering and my
eyes becking to evade his.
"Then now , you may get Into 1hoso
things " ho said. "And do you ride when I
bid you , and halt when I bid you , and apeak
when I hay speak , and be silent when I say
bo silent do those four things , I say , and
you will die In > our bed. They are all I
ask. "
I stooped , shaking all over , to take up the
boots. "Heart up. pretty ! " cried the woman ,
with an odd laugh that broke off short with
a sort of quaver. "It Is clear thnt you nre
not born to bo hanged. And for the rest "
"Peace , peace , wench. " said Smith , Im
patiently. "And drcso him ! "
CHAPTER XXXVI.
It wanted two hours of mldnlghl on a lire
night when wo two rode over London bridge ,
and through a gap In the houses saw the
river flowing below a ripple of silver framed
'n blackness , and so cold to the cyo that
Involuntarily I shivered , feeling a return of
all the vague fears and apprehensions ,
which , originally awakened by the prospect
of the Journey had been scl at rest for the
time by the awe In which I held my com
panion. I began to recall n dozen stories
of footpads and highwaymen , outrage and
robbery , which I had road , and found but
cold comfort In the reflection that the Kent
road , from the amount of trafllc that iibcd
it , was accounted one of the safest In Kng-
Innd. It was not wonderful that , with
corves so disordered , I went In frcrit of
danger , or lhat when opposite the .Marshal- .
bca , where the chain crosses the road near
Ihe entrance to White Horse yard a man
came suddenly out of a passage and caught
hold of my companion's rein , I cried out ,
and all but turned my horse to fly.
Smith himself appeared to bo taken off
his guaid ; and. after bidding me beware
what I did , ho called , with the tame harsh
ness , to the man to release the rein , or take
the consequences.
" 0. I am all right , " the fellow annwered ,
roughly , peering at him through ihe daik-
neflB. "You are Mr. Smith ? "
"Well ? "
"Falrholl sent me to stop you. "
"Palrholt ! "
"Ay ; he Is here. "
"Here ? " my companion cried In a trne of
rage and surprise , "What the ! Why , he
should bo you know where by this llrne ! "
"Aye , but his horse threw him this mornIng -
Ing , and he Is lying at the White Horse ,
bore , with a broken leg , "
Smith cursed the absent man for a fool.
"I wish bo had broken his neck ! " he said ,
savagely , And then , after an Interval : "Has
be sent anybody ? " <
He bai had something else to think about/ '
the man answered , drily. "And o would
you , muster , with his leg ! "
Smith swore again , and c.it gloomily
silent.
"He says If you rnn * to d It oft for twen
ty-four hotirs , " the man continued , "he will
arrange that "
"No names ! " Smith cried , sharply Inter
rupting him.
"Well , thnt some ono shall ttte bis place
and do the Job. "
Smith did not answer for n time , hut nt
length. In a curt , Incisive tone : "Toll him
yes , " ho said. "I will see to It. And you
keep ti still tongue , will you ? You were
going with him , I suppose ? "
"Aye. "
"And you will come with the other ? "
"Maybe. And If not. 1 shall not blab , "
Smith by a nod showed that the man hud
taken his meaning , after which , bidding
him good night , he pricked up his horse.
"Come on , " he snld. addressing mo with Im
patience. "I thought to hn > e had compan
ions | , nnd so ridden moro securely. Hut
wo must mnke Iho best of It. "
Heaven knows that 1 , too. would hnvo
liked \ companions , nnd took the road ngnln ,
dolefully enough. Nor was that the worst
of It ; Smith , In speaking to the stranger , had
mentioned Fnlrholt. Now , I knew the name ,
nnd know the man to be ono of the messen
gers attached to the secretary's ofllct1 , one
whose business It WHS to execute warrants
nnd arrest political prisoners. Uul what had
11 Smith , riding to n sccirt Interview with n
i man outlawed nnd In hiding to do with
messengers ? With Fnlrholt ?
And then , as If this were not enough lo
disturb nu > with a view of treachery , Clack
ns gulf seen by traveler through a rift In
the mist If this glimpse , 1 ( .ay were not
enough , how was I going to reconcile Smith's
statement that he had expected companions
with his first cry , uttered In wrath and sur
prise thnt Fnlrhoft ought to lie by this time
well , nt some distant point ?
