TTT13 ( XMAITA DAILY U1313JyRtTNDAV , SEPTEMBER 'JO , 1807. Uy STANLBY J. WHYMAN. OIlAPTOIl XXXtX. I shnnlil have been less thnn a man had I not tlinnkcd God for my escape. Hut It Is In the sap of a tree to run upward In the spring , and lu the blouil of a man to live In 'the ptcscnt nnd futinc , the past going for llttlo ; and I had not crouched two minutes on tlio thwart ( before the steady lurch of thu boat outward and seaward fixed my attention. I'roni this to asking myself by wliat chance I had been saved , nnd who weio the men who sat round mo and evinced no more curloilty about mo than It they hnd been sent to the spot purely nnd simply to rescue me was but a ntep J took It , scanned them stealthily , and was fnr from reassured. Tlio sea garb was thrn new to me , and these vvearois of It nero tha wildest of their class The fog which rnfohlod im magnified their clumsy shoulders , and great knitted nightcaps and the lurry ringlets that hung In festoons about their scnneil and tanned facts. The huge Gnarled hunds that swung to and fro with the oars vvrro no more HUe human flesh than the sia boots wlilth the men wore , drawn high on their thighs. They had rings In their cars , ami from all came a reek of tobacco and silt fish and strange oaths ; nor did It need the addition of the hanger tiilil pistol which each uore In his belt to Inform me thtit 1 had fallen once again among fierce and desperate men. Dismayed by all I aaw , It yet surpilsed mo Ihat no one questioned me. He who sat In the stern of the 1)oat , and seemed to be In command , had \\hlstlo continually at his llpa , and his eyes on the curtain of haze before us , but If the tlllor and navigation of llic boat .took up his thoughts there wcru others. These , however , were content to null on In silence , eyeing mo with dull , bruilBh stares , until the fog lifting disclosed on a fluddcn the hull of a tall ship looming hlglrbesldo us. A shrill piping came irom It n sound I had heard before , hut taken to bo the scream of a scablrd , and this as wo drew up , was followed by a hall. The man by my side lot his whistle fall that ho might answer , which ho did , In French ; a , moment later our boat grated against the heaving timbers , and , 1 looking up through the raw morning air , saw a man In a boat cloak spring on the bulwarks and wave hie hat. i "Welcome , " ho cried lustily. "And God ave the king ! A near thing they tell me , sir. Hut come on board , come on hoard , and we shall ice Dunquerquo the sooner. Up with jou. Sir John , If you please , and let us be gone with the fog and no heel taps ! " Then , without another word , I know what had happened. I knew why the boat which Had picked mo up had been watting on the beach at that hour , and as I rose to my feet on the seat , und clutched the rope ladder which the sailors threw down to mo my knees knocked together , for I foresaw what I had to , nut expect the deck was surer ground for debate or explanation than the cocklMhcll wherein. 1 sat , and which teased and ducked under mo , threatening every moment to upset my stomach , and I went up giddily , grasped the bulwark , and , aided by bolt a dozen grinning seamen , night- capped and ringleted , I sprang down on the deck. The man In the heat cloak received me with a clumsy bow and shook my hand. Glvo jou Joy , Sir John , " ho said. "Glad to sco you , sir. I began to fear that you wore taken. A little moro and I must have left you. Hut all's well that ends well , and jour patdon , one moment. " With that ho broke oft , and shouted half n dozen orders In French and inglsh ! to the sailors , and In a moment the capstan , as I nttcrvvara heard It called , wjs creaking round , and there was a hurry of feet , first to one side and then to the other , and a great shouting and hauling at lopes. The ship heeled over so suddenly that It I had not caught at the rail I must have lobt my footing , and for an Instant the green seas eeemed to swell up on a level with the slant ing deck , as If they would swallow us bodily. Instead , the sloop , still heeling over , began to gather way , and presently was hissing through the water , piling the white surf before It , only to pour It foaming to either sldo. The haze , llku a moving cur tain , began to glide by us , and looking straight ahead I saw a yellow glare that told mo of the sun rising over the French dunes. The man who had received me , and who scorned to bo the master , returned to my side. "Wo are under way , sir , " he said "and I am glad of It. But you will like to "DO IT. DICK , OH IP YOU CANNOT. GOD KNOWS IT WKIIR HKTTBH WE WERE HUNO THL\N M.MUUED. " Bee Mr , lllrkenhead ? lie would have met you but the sea colic took him as ho lay on the swell outside Dunqucrquo whistling for-a wind. IJo. gets It badly one time , undone ono tltno ho Is as hearty as jou are. He Is bettor this morning , but ho Is 111 enough. " I muttered that I would see him by and bywliuu ; ho was better. That I would Ho down a llttlo , and " " 0 , I have got a bunk for you In his cabin. " the master aimvcrcd briskly. "I thought you would want to talk state secrets , Follow rao.Jf you please , ami look to your sea legs , Ho led the way to a hatch or trap door , awl raising It began to descend , Not dar ing to refuse I followed him , down a steep ladder Into tha dark bowels of the ship , the reck of tnr and bllgu water , chcrao and old rum growing stronger with every foot vvn descended. At the bottom of the ladder he pushed asldo a sliding panel and signed to mo to pass through the opening I ohojed , and found myself In a sort c/f dog- hole and seemed to mo who know nothing of ships' cabins lighted only by a span- wldo round window ; so dark , therefore , that I stood a moment groping , and so cloeo and foul-smelling that my gorge rose , Out of the gloom came a groan as of a sick shcup , "Hero Is Sir John , nafo and sound ! ' cried the master In his sea tones. "Thoro Is good medicine for jou , Mr. Hlrk- enhead , " And he peered Into tbo dark- nws. The only answer was a second groan , "Do you hear me ? " the captain repeated. "Sir John Is here. " A volco feebly yet unmistakably d d Sir John and the captain. The master chuckled hoarsely. "Set a frigate behind us , with a noose Hying at the jard arm , and URTO Is no man Ilka him ! ' ' J > e cried. "None , Sir John ; aud I have carried him across seventy Urn us and over , tick and well. Ho should know the road from the marsh to Southwark , If any man does , Hut let him be for the present , and do you lit ) down In the bunk above him , and I will brlut ; you soaia lumtz and * crust. When he la better ho will be as glad to aeo > ou as If you were his brother. " 1 obeyed , nnd , fortified by the strong waters ho brought me , was glad to lie down , and , under cover of darkness , consider my position , and what chance 1 had of extricat ing myself from It. For the time , and probably until we reached Dunquerquc , I was safe ; hut what would happcn whcn Ulrlten- head the man whom the Jacobites railed the Itoyal I'osl , and who doubtless know Sir John Ken wick by sight what would hap. pen , I say , when ho roused himself , and found that ho had not only taken oft the wrong man , but left Sir John to his fatoV Would ho not ho ccttaln to visit the mis chance on my head ? Or If I escaped his hands , what must 1 expect , t stranger , ashore In a fotelgn land with little money nnd no language at my command ? I shuddered nt the piospcct ; yet shuddered more at the thought of Hlrkenhead's anger , so that presently all my fore-looking rcsohed Itscli Into a strenuous effort to put off the evil day , and to prolong , by lying still and quiet , the sleep Into which ho appeared to have ( alien. Ho lay so close to mo , divided onlj by the ono board on which I reclined , that all the noises ot the ship the creaking t > f the timbers , the wash of the seas at. they foamed along thu quarter , und tlio hinging of blocks and ropes noises that never censed , failed to cover the sound of his breathing. And this nearness to me , taken with the fact that I could not see him , BO tormented me with doubt whether lie was awake or asleep , was recovering or was growing worse , that more than once I raised my head and listened until my neck ached. In the twilight of the cab'ni ' I could sue his cloak swaying lazily on a hook ; on another hung a belt with pistols , that slid this way and that with the swing of the ves sel. And presently watching these and listening to the regularity of his breathIng - Ing , I laid my head down and did the last thing I proposed to do or should have thought possible , for I fell asleep. I awoke with a man's hand on my shoulder , and sat up with a start of alarm , a man's voice In my ear. The floor ot the cabin hlantcd no longer , the cloak and sword-belt hung motionless on thu wall ; rmd In place of the sullen plash of the waves nnd the ceaseless cre.iklng of Joists and knees , that had before filled the Inwards of the ship , a medley of shouts and cries , as shrill as they were unintelligible , Illlevl the pauses ot the windlass. These things were , and I took them In , and drew the Infcience that we- were In harbor ; but mechanically , for It seemed at the moment that such wits as terror left me vvero In the grasp ot the man who shook me and swore at me by turns , and whoso short hair for he was wlgless fairly bristled with rage mnd per plexity. "You , Who- the dc\l ! are you ? " he cried frantically. "What witchcraft Is this ? Hero , Gill ! GUI ! Do you hear , you tarry pudding-head ? Who Is this you have put In ray cabin ? And where Is Fenwlck ? Where " "Where Is Sir John ? " cried a voice somewhat distant , as If the speaker stooped to the hatchway. "He Is there , Mr. IJirkon- hcad. I set him there myself. And be tween gentlemen , such words as those Mr Dirkenhead " "As what ? " cried the man who held me "As tarrj but never mind ; between friends " "Friends toe hanged ! " cried my assailant with violence. "Who is this fool ? That Is what I asked. And you , hive you no tongue' " he continued , glaring at mo "Who are you , and where Is Sir John Fen- wick ? " Before I could answer the master who had descended crowded himself Into the door way. "That Is Sir John , " ho said sulkily. "I thought that jou " "This , Sir John ? " the other exclaimed. "A > c , to bo sure. " "As much Sir John as jou are the wann ing pan ! " Blrkcnhead retorted ; and releas ing me with so much violence that my head rapped against the panels. "This , Sir John Fenwlck ? " And then , "O man. man. you have destroyed mo , " he cried. "Where is my reputation now ? You have left the real Simon I'uro to be taken , and brought oft this tha ! you boobj- , you griuulug ape , who are you ? " Trembling , I told him my name. "And Sir John ? " he said. "Where Is ho ? " "I left him at Ashford " I muttered. "It Is a lie ! " ho cried In a voice that thrilled mo to the mm row. "You did not leave him at Ashford ! Ho was with you on the beach he was with you , and vou deserted sorted him ! You left him to bo taken , and saved yourself. You wretch ! You Judas ! " God knows by what Intuition ho spoke For me , I swear that It was not until that moment , not until he had put the possibility Into words that I knew nju , knew , for that was the only word , so certain was I after the event that the man who had ilddc-n down the beach and called vainly on the sailors to wait , the man from whom wo had towed away laughing , taking with us his last hope of life , was not Matthew Smith , but Sir John Fenwlck ! Now , things which should have opened my eyes then , and had not , came back to me. I recalled how tall and gaunt the rider had looked through the haze , and a something novel In his voice and plaintive In tils tone. True , I had heard the click-clack ot Smith's hoiBo'h shoes as clearly as 1 ever heard anything In my life , but. If Sir John , alarmed by the sound of my hasty departure nnd feailng treachery , had sallied out , and leaping on the first horse ho found , had ridden after mo , then all was clear. I saw that , and rowercd before the men's accusing eyes ; so that they had hren more than Solomons had they taken my sudden disorder for ought but guilt guilt ( brought home. For lllrke-nhead , his rage was terrible. Ho snized mo by the throat , and dlsiegardlng my pitiful pleas that I had not known , ho dragged mo from the berth and made as If be would choke mo there and tlit'ii with his naked hands. Instead , how ever , ho suddenly loosed mo. "Faugh , " ho cilcd , "I will not dirty my hrnds with you ! That such as jou you bhould bo a man's death1 You1 Uut > ou shall not escape. Gill , up with him ! Up with htm to the j-ardarm. String him up ! Ho shill swing before he Is an hour older ! " "In IHlnquerquo harbor ? " slid the other. "Why not ? " i "Why not ? " said the master. "Because , Mllirhcuhcad. . 1 servo a king do Jure and not do facto , That Is why not. And If you want another re ason " "Woll ? " "I am not aware that his majesty h."s raised you to thu bench , " the master answered - swerod sturdily , "O , jou have turned sea lawyer , have you ? " ' "Law U law , " said the shipmaster. "Eng land or France , or the high seas. " "And on ling Is owllng. " the other retorted with passion. "And smuggling smuggling ! You are a fine man to talk ! If jou will not hang him as they will hang Fenwlck , eo help me , uuvcr doubt It ! What will jou do -with him ? " "Give my men a bag of sand aplrce , and let him run the gauntlet , " the captain an swered , with a iihlegm that froze me. "Trust me , sir , they will not leave much of a "balance owing. " It was turrlblo to see how Hlrkenhcad , vain , choleric and maddened by disap pointment , jumped at the cruel sugges tion. For me , I shrank Into the bunk , lu-to the farthest corner , and cried for mercy ; 1 might as well have cried to the winds , I was hauled out , the word passed up , and despite my desperate struggles , prayers and threats the latter not unmlngled with the name of Shrewsbury , which did but harden thorn I was dragged to the foot of the ladder. Thence I was carried on deck , where , half dead with Tear and powerltss In the hands of three atout seamen , I met none . but grinning faces and looks of cruel ! anticipation. Few need to be told with what veil the common herd flock to a scene of cruel sporl , how hard are th Ir bosoms , hv fli'ii'llfih ( ho plcasuic which all but the most humane nnd thoughtful tkc In helpless - less suffering , Small was the chance th.it my picas of Innocence and appeals for a hcvlng would gain Attention All was ready , thu men bnral their arms and HcKed thrlr llpH , and In a moment 1 must have i born id for the ba'.tlng ( Hut In eertaln circumstances HIP extrem ity of fear li nnother nnme for the extremity of daring , and , the master at th.s last mo- incut going to range the clew In two lines , nnd ono ot the sailors who had me In charg" releasing me for an Instant thit ho might arm himself with a sand bng. t * aw my op- portunltj. With a desperate swing I wrenched mvself from the grasp of the other man That done , n single bound carried mete to the plank which joined the deck to the shore ; I flew across It , swift as the wind ; and as the whole cr w. seeing what had hap pened , bioke from their stations , and with jells and whoops ot glee took up thcichacc , I sprang on shore. Bursting recklessly through thu fringe of Idlers whom thei arrival ot the ship had brought to the water's edge , 1 sped across the open wharf , threaded a labyrinth of bales find casks and darted up the flrat j lane to which 1 came Tear gave me wings , and I left the wharf a score of yards ahead of my pursuers.

' and the others , Rome French words alike In Import the alarm went abreast of me. Fortunately the lane was almost deserted , and I cislly evaded the half-hcnrtcd efforts to stop me , which ono or two made 11 seemed that 1 should for the present get away But at the lasti moment , at tin' head ot thu lane , fate waited for mo ; i an old woman standing lu a doorway and who made , B I came up , as If she \ > na afraid of me flung a bucket after me. H fell In front of me , I trod on the edge and fell with a shriek of pain. Deforo I could rise or speak , the fore most of the sailors came up and struck mo on the head w Ith a sandbag , and the others as they arrived rained blows on mo without mercy. I managed to utter n cry , then In stinctively covered my head with my arms They belabored mo until they wore tired nnd I almost senseless , when , thinking mo dead , I THOU ON TilD I7DGD AND FELL.1TH A SHKIUIC OF 1'UN " they went oft whistling , and I crawled Into the nearest doorway and Tainted away. CHArrBIl XL. When I recovered my senses I was on my back In one of eighteen beds , In a long , white-walled room , having barred windows and a vaulted celling. A woman , garbed stiangely to black , and with a queer white cap drawn tight round her face , leaned OVIT me , and with her linger laid to her lips enjoined bllence. Hero and there along thn wall were pictures of saints , and at the end two candles burned before a kud oE altar I had an idea that I had been paitly con scious , and had Iain tossing giddily , with a burning head and a dreadful thirst through daj-a and nights of fever. Now , though I could scarcely ratio mj * head , aud my bralu reeled If I stirrel , I was clear-minded and knew that the bone of my leg was broken ind for that reason I had had a bcflj to my- s.clf where most lay doubt ; for the rest I wab so weak I could only cry In pure gratitude , when the nun came to mo In my linn and ftd me , and plain , fatout uud gentle-eyed laid her Angers on hei lip , or smiling said in her oddl Kngllsh , "Queo-at quee-flt , mon sieur ! " In face of the blessings which the Protes tant biicccsblcn , as settled in our piescnt house of Hanover , has seemed to thebe Islands , It would llttlo become me to fud a \lrtuo In paplstrj' , and my late lord , wLo early saw and abjuied the errors of th.it faith , would have been the last to sUppoit or encourage such a thesis Notwithstand ing which , I venture to say that the devo tion of thcso women to their calling id a hlng not to be derided , merely because we have no counterpart of it ; nor the charity ol that hospital , simply Because the burning of candles and. worshipping of saints alternated with the tendance of the wretched. On the contrary. It seems to mo that were such a profession , the Idolatious vow > except" ! ! , grafted on our church , It might redound illke to the credit of religion watch of Ijto the writings of Lord Uollngbroke have some what belittled and to the good of man kind. So much with submission ; nor will the moat rigid of our divines blame me when ihey learn that I lay ten weeks In the maieon de DIou at Dinuiuerrme , dependent for everj'- thtng on the kind olllces of those goad women , and nursed during that long pciiod with a solicitude and patience not to bo exceeded by that of wife or mother. When I had so far recovered ca to bo able to leave mj bed and move a few yards on crutches I wa4asbistcd / to a shady courtj'ard , nestle 1 snugly bctwiMi the hospital and the old town wall. Hero , under a gnarled mulberry trto v.hlch had sheltered the troops of I arma , I spent my tlmo in a dream of peace , through which nuns , apple-faced and kind-ujcd , flitted , laden with tlbaueb or bearing bott ca hat called for the Immcdlato attention of M. de Mcdecln's long nose and allver-rlmmed spectacles. Occasionally their director would t > eat himself bcsido mo and silently inu through his olllce , or Instruct mo In the Krench tongue , and the evils of Jansenism , mainly by meniiH o the snuff box , which rarely left hi * line white hands. More often the meager apothecary , joung , yellow , dry , ambitious , with a hungry light In his eytu would take an English lesson , until thu com ing of his superior routed him and sent him to his gallipots and compounding with a flea In his ear. Such wcro the scenes and companions that attended my retuin to health , nor my spirits being attuned to these , should I have como to seek or desire othora , though enhanced by my natlvo uir a bprcles of Inertia moro easily excused by thcso who hjvo viewed rrench life near at hand than by such as have never tiavelod but for an encounter as Important in Its consequences as It was unexpected , which broke the even current of my days. It vJH no uncommon thing for the nuns to bring one of my countrjmen to mo , In thn fond hope that I might find a friend. Hut us these puraors , from the nature of the case , were Invariably Jacobites and either , Knov. Ing something of my story , thought mo well Bei veil , or coming to examine me till led at tha names of Mr. Drome and Lord Shrows- burj , such efforts had but one- end When I heard , therefore , for tha fourth or fifth tlmo that a compatriot of mlno , amlablo and of a vivacity tout-a-falt marvellleuse was coming to ECO me , 1 was as far from supposing ( hat I should find an acquaintance ee I was from anticipating the interview with pleasure. Imaglno msurprlbo therefore when Socur Marie called mo Into the garden at the ap pointed time , and , her simple fate bhlnlng with delight led me to the old mulberry tree , where , who should be sitting , but Mary For- gn " 'i She had as llttlo expected to meet mo as I to meet her , but coming on mo thus sud denly , and seeing mo lame , and In a sense a cripple , reduced , moreover , < > y the long Ill ness through which I had paused , iho let her feelings have way. Such tenderness as she had entertained for mo before welled up now with Irros-istlble force , and giving the He to a certain hojdcnlsh hardness Inherent In a disposition which was never one of the most common. In a moment she was In my arms. If she did not weep herself , she par doned , and possibly viewed with pleasure , those tears 011 my part which weakness and xurprlne druw from me ; vvhllo a huudreJ broken words nnd Jtiinrnatlms bare witness to | bo gratitude am * jolt on the RLoro ot her escape , 1hiv.i brought together In n strange coun try and agitated by n hundred memories , nothing was < it first nude clear , except tint we belonged to ono anothe' , and Soettr Marie had long tied to carry the talc , with min gled glee and honor Into the housi- , before we grow sufficiently balm to answer the numberless questions fchlch It occurred t each to ask. At length Mrtry , presir-d to trll mo how sh had fared since her Iscaoc. made ono o the odd faces I cou4 ! so well remember And "Not as I would , but oa 1 could , she tald , drylj"Uy crossing with letters.

But while I winced , a him of courage , bortiiof indignation and of a sensc of Injustice long endured , came to me , am I answered her with spirit. "No , " I bald "I am not that maiil'l . "No ?

"Nor that within a month , In all prob ability , ho will be trl&d and executed ! " "No. " "Nor that your master Is in peril ?

"For If I had known , " I continued , warmly , "why should 1 fly from him ? What had I to fear fiom him ? Or what to gain , it Smith , with a pistol , were not at my heels , by leaving England ?

"Thank God1" she said with emotion , "Thank God , Dirk Hut " "Hut what ? " I retorted bharply ; for In the telling of the story I had como to see moio clearly thin before how ciuclly I had been trratod. "Hut what ? " "Woll , just this , " she said gently. "Have you not brought It on vnuricir in a measure ? If jou had born more that Is , I moan , If j'ou had not bfcn so " "So what. ' " I cried querulously , seeing her hesitate. "Woll , so quick to think that It was Matthew Smith and a pistol , " she an- nwcrrd. smiling rather heartlessly. "That Is all. " "Thfro was a mist. " I said. She laughed In her odd waj"Of course. Dick , there was a mist , " she agreed "And you cannot make hrleks without straw. And after all jou did make bricks In St Jami-s' square , and It Is not for me to find fault , But them Is a thing to bo done and It must bo done.

"Dick jou will not leave the duke to be ruined by Matthew Smith ? You will not Ho here and let those rogues work their will on him ? Sir John has denounced him. " "And may denounce mo" ' I fiald , aghast at the notion "May denounce me " I con- tlnued with agitation. "Will donovnco me. If It was not the duke who was at Abhford , U was I. " "And who are you ?

U was no great wonder If 1 could tiot In n moment stomach the prospect of re turning to risk Jeopardy , to the turmoil from which 1 had bci-n BO long frcod , nnd the hazards of a life ami death struggle. In the political life of seventy years ago mcii carried their nccKs to market Knowing that I might navu the duke nd suffer In his place the fate of many a poor de pendent ; or might bo confronted with Smith , or brought face to face with Ferguson , or pcrlih before I retched London In the net In which my lord's own feet wcro caught , 1 foresaw not one , but a hundred dangers ; and those such as no piudcnt man could bo ex pected to regard with equanimity , or any but n hire-brained girl would encounter with a light heart. Still I desired1 to stand well with her , and that being so I confess that It wna with relief I remembered my lameness , and named It to her. Passing over the haish- ness of her last words , "You are right , " 1 said. "Something should 'be ' done , but for me It Is Impossible at present ; 1 am lame , as jou sec. " "Lame" " she cried. "More than lame , " 1 ansn prod but there was that In her tone \vhlch bade mo avoid her c-jes. "A cripple , Mary. " "No. not a cripple , " oho answered. "yes. " 1 said. "No , Dick , " she answered , In a voice low , but so grave and firm that I winced. "Let us be frank for once. Not a cripple , but a cow-aid. " "I never said I was a soldier , " I answered. "Nor I , " she replied , willfully misunder standing me. "I oald n cowaid ! And a coward I will not inarrj , " With that wo looked at one another , and I suvv that her face was white. "Was It a co\-ird that saved your life In Hie square ? " I muttered at last. "No , " she answered. "Hut It was a coward plajed the sneak for Ferguson. And u coward plajed the rogue for Smith. It was a coward lost Fenwlck because he lUred not look behind ! ( And a cowaidvho will now sacrifice his benefactor to save his own skin. And jou only know In how uiJiiy other thinga jou have plajed the ciaven. Hut the rather for that , up , man and play the man ! You have a chance now. Do this bravo thing nnd all will be forgiven O , Dick , Dick , " she continued and with n sudden b o In her face she ttooped and tluew her nuns around me. "If jou love me do It' ' Ha it for tia both ! Do it , or If jou cannot , God knows. It vvtro better wo wcro hung ttun married ! " I uuinot hope to describe the fervor which she threw Into these last words or the ef fect whle'i they wrought on me. weakened as I was bj long Illness. In .1 voice broken by teats I ccmjuiod her to glvo mo time- to give me time , a few days In which to consider what I would do. "Not a day. " ahe answered , springing from mo In fresh excitement , ns If my toucn but nod her. " 1 will give jou no lime. You have had a lifetime , and to what purpose" I will glvo jou no time. Do jou glvo me yotn word' ' " I was ashukc from head to foot , and groaned aloud. In truth if I had known the gallows to bo the ccitaln aud Inevitable end of the road on which I was asked to cuter , I could not have 'been ' more sorely beset between rage nnd fear and shame or her and desire foi her. Hut while I hung in that misery , she continuing to stand over sne , I looked , as It happened , In her face , and 1 saw that It was no longer hot Avlth anger , but sad and drawn as If by a sharp pain. And I gave her my word , trembling and shaking. "Now , " said she , "aro jou a bravo man , and perhaps the bravest ? " CHAPTER XIJ. That the arrest of Sir John Fenwlck , re ported In London on the 13th of June , was legardod by all paities as an event of the first magnitude , scarce exceeded In impor tance by a victory In Flanders or a defeit In the Mediterranean , Is a thing not to be denied at this time of day ; when men , still in their pi line , can recall the commotion occasioned bv It. The private animosity , which was believed to exist between Sit John and the king , and which dated , if the gossip of Will's and Garraway's went for anything , not from the blight which he had put upon the late queen , but tiom a much earlier period , when he had served under William In Flamleis , aiou ed men's curios ity , and In a si use their pity , as if they were to see heio the end of a Greek drama Nor , apart from the public and general In- tenst , v.hlch Sir John's birth and family ( onnections no Itss than his share in the plot , considerably augmented , was there any faction which could view his arrest with Indifference. Ho had been so deep in the confidence of I3t Gcrmalns that were he to make n dlbrovciy , not lories and Jacobites only lay at his mercy but all that large class among the whlgs who had stooped to palter with James These , as they were the more culpable , bad also more to fear. Tri-mblliig at the prospect of a disclosure which must convict them of practices at variance with their most solemn professions , thoj were supported by none of those sentiments of loj'altj * . honorable If mistaken , which ex cused the others ; while as each fondly thought his perfidy unknown to his neighbor , and dreading nothing so much as detection by the rank and fllo of the party , he found the burden of apprehension weigh the more ieavlly , because hu had none to share It with him I no absence 01 tno King , wno WHS cam paigning In Flandeis , aggravated the sus- icnse. whlth prevailed so widely for tin eiEons above , and other * , that It Is not too much to say that barely four politicians could 10 found of the firbt or aecond lank who \ero not nearly concerned In the question of Sir JMin Fcnvvlck's silence. Of these , liow- eovr , I mala- hold to say that my lo d was no ; and , though the neivs that Sir John vho lay in the Tower , had eent for the duke f Devonshire may have exelted a passing eellng of jealousy In his mind since ho nd not. Iho other duke was the person to vhom Sir John might moro fitly unbosom ilmself I am confident , and Indeed had It rom his own lips , that at this tlmo he had no otlon of nnj- danger threatening himself. His cjcs were llrat evened by the earl f Murlborough , who , calling upon him one ay , ostensibly on business connected with ho Princess Anne ( to whom the king had ) oen reconciled befo'o his departure ) prcs- ntly named Sir John. From this to the latemont made to the duke of Devonshire nd the rumor. ? of Its contents which filled lie coffee houses , was but a step. The earl corned concerned ; my loid. In his Innocence , keptlcal. At length thu latter spoke out what was n his mind. "To tell you the truth , my rd , " ho said frankly , "I think It Is a mare's est. I don't believe that any statement IMK > ecn made " The earl loiked astonished. "May I ak vhy not ? " he said. "Because , ifuless I am much mistaken , " my lord answered , smilingly , "tho duke would iavo brought It straight to. . me. And I have icard nothing of It. " "You I'avo not asked the duke ? " "Of co-arse not , " "Hut ho was with Sir John , " the earl ] erslzted steadily. "Thoro Is no doubt of hat , is there ? " " 0 , no. " "Woll , then , Is not that In Itself strange ? " "I think not ; there have always been rlendly relations , " my lord continued , "be- wren the duke and Sir John. " "Just so , " Lord Marlbornugh answered , aklng a pinch of snuff "Still do those 'c'-atlons ' wurrnnt the lord steward In visiting ilm now ? " The secretary looked a llttlo startled. Well. I don't know , " he s Id. "Hut the ' uko of Devonshire's patriotism ID so well I stabllshed " j "That he may steal the horse while we ook over the wall , " Lord Marlborough an- wered , taking him up with a smile , "He ' liat as It may , " he continued , "and I am uro that the same may bo said of the duke if Shrewsbury" here the two noblemen ' lowed to one another "I think jour grace's nfurmatlon is somewhat faulty on this lotnt. I happen to know that Immediately tier tbo Interview a special messenger left ' ) evonshlre house for Lee , and that the natters ho carried were reduced Into 'wrlt- ' ig by his grace's own hand. That being BO , uko , jou are better qualified to draw the nferenre than I am. " My lord at that looked grave , and nodded , icing convinced ; and J do not doubt that ho felt the sltcbt which the other dultc'a silence implied , tint though , of nil the men I hAve ever me' , ho was the moil sinsltlve , ha wan the last. Also , to wear his heart on hla sleeve , nnd not only did ho refrain from complaint of his colleague's conduct , but hn hoMcned to dispel , by word or two. the I'ffuct of his momentary grnvltj"Ah , then 1 van guess what happened. " ho snld , nod ding his pomprchenslon. "I have no doubt thit Sir John mule It n term that his dis covery should bo delivered to the king nt Ilrst hand and to no ono else. " Lord Marlboi augh rose "Uul e , " ho snld , flrmlj' , "I think It Is lair dliat 1 should he more frank with you. The renson you glvo Is not the reason they arc glvliiK In the corfeo house for the lord steward's reticence. " I "No ? " snld my lord , with a faint note ot scorn In his voice. "No , " said the earl. "On the contrary , they say nt "Will's and , for that matter , at the St. James" , too that the statement Is kept eloso because It touched men In power. " Mil power ? " said my lord , with the same note In his volco. "lu the council , do you mean ? " "Yea ; thrco men. " i "Do they name them ? " "Ceitalnly , " said my lord Cvlnrlborough , smiling. "And they join with the three ono who Is licl in power. " "Ah ! " "Myself. " Nothing could exceed the placid Indffer- enco. as natural as It as free from exag geration , which the earl contrived to throw into his last word. Yet my lord started and shifted uneasily In his chilr. Knowing something and perhaps suspecting more , aware of the character which his enemies attributed to Lord Murlborough , ho would not have been tbo statesman lie was If ho had not fancied an ulteilor design IM an admission uot a little omlnrrnsslng. Ho confined himself , therefore , to n polite shrug etprefcslve of Incredulity and to tlio words "Cred.it Judneus. " "Just so , " said Lord Marlborough , whoso erudition was not on a par with the mar velous strategical powers he has slnco dls- plajed. "What , thru , will jour grace saj- to Ned Ilusscll ? " "Tho Ilrst lord of the admlialty ? Is ho named 7" "In the coffee houses. " "Lord Godolphlnl" "Impossible ? " "Not BO Impossible as the fourth , " Lord Murlborough answered with n light laugh , In which comtesy , amusement and a line perception of the ridiculous were nicely mingled. "Can you not guess , duke ? " llul my lord , too prudent to suggest names In that connection , shook his held "Who could ? " he said , lalslng Ills eye- browns scornfully. "They ml ht as well name mo as some jou are mentioning. " ( To Ho Continued. ) are ; ia often causcil tiy kidney disease as by affections of the womb.
