CHAPTER IX.-Coiitlnucd.
I nst where I was , hearing nothing but the
echo of her laugh , unable to think , save of
the truth that was driven so cruelly into my
mind. The Ilrst realizing ot thlngd that can
not bo undone brings to a young man a
flcrco Impotent rcoentment. That was In my
heart , and with It a sudden revulsion from
what I hid dcalrcd , aa intemperate ns the
dcalro , ns cruel It may be , as the thing which
B.IVO It birth. Nell's laughter died away
and she was silent. Yet presently I felt a
hand reat on my hands as though seeking
to convey sympathy In a grief but half un
derstood. I shrank away , moving my bauds
until hers no longer touched them. There
are little actn , small matters often , on which
remorse attends while life lasts. Even How
my heart is sere that I shrank away from
her. She was different now In nothing from
what I had known her. but I , who had de
sired passionately , now shunned her. The
thing had como homo to mo , plainclose , in on
odious intimacy. Yet I wlah I had not
shrunk nway , BefoTo I could think I had
done it. and I found no words ; bettor , per
haps , that I attempted none.
I looked up. She was holding out the hand
before her. There was a puzzled smllo on
her lips.
"Docs it burn , docs it prick , docs It soil ,
Simon ? " she asked. "See , touch It , touch It
It Is as It was , Isn't It ? " She put It clooe by
my hand , waiting for mo to take It , but I did
not toke It. "As it was when you kissed it , "
saJd she , but still I did not tike It.
Jt rose to my feet slowly and heavily , like n
tired man whoso legs are reluctant to resume
their load. She stood quite still , regarding
monow with alarmed and wondering eyes ,
"It's nothing , " I stammered. "Indeed , It's
nothing , only I hadn't thought of It. Scarcely
knowing what I did I began to uiovo toward
tlia door. An unreasoned instinct impelled
me to got away from her. Yet my gaze was
drawn to her face. I saw her lips pouting
and her cheeks flushed , the brightness of. her
eyes grew clouded. She loved me enough to
bo hurt by mo. If no moro. A pity seized me
Turning , I fell on my knee , and seizing the
hand whoso touch I had refused , I kissed It.
"Ah. you kiss iny hand now , " she cried
breaking lii.to smiles again.
"I kUs Cydarla's hand , " said I. "For in
truth I am sorry for my Cydarla.
< She was no other than I am. " she whis
pered , and now , with a touch of shame , for
phe saw that I felt ahame Tor her.
"Not what It hurts us , but 'what ' wo know. "
said I. "Ooodby , Cydarla , " and again I kl-ssed
her hand. She drew It away from me and
tossed her head , crying petulantly :
"I wish I hadn't told you. "
"In God's name , don't wish that , " said I ,
find drew her gaze on me again In surprise.
I moved on my way , the only way my fert
opiild tread. 'But ' f > ho darted after mo and
laid her hand on my arm. I looked at her
In amazed questioning.
"You'll como again. Simon , when ? " The
smile would not hp denied , though It came
timidly , afraid for Its welcome an.d distrust
ful of Its right. "When you're better ,
( Simon ? "
I longed with all my h&irt I longed to bo
kind to her. IHp.v could the thing bo to her
'what ' it was to me ? She could not under
stand why I was aghast ; extravagant despair.
all In the style of a vanquished rival , would
have been ctfty for her to meet , to ridicule
to comfort. I know all this , but I could not
Jlud the means > ln effect It or to cover my
own distress ,
"You'll come again , then ? " she Insisted ,
pleadingly.
"No , " said I , bluntly ami cruelly , with tin.
willing brutality.
At 'that a maid on gust of passion took her.
and she turnol on rae denouncing mo flercclj
In terms which she took no corn to measure ,
for a prudish virtue which for good or cvl
was not mlnp , and for a narrowness o\ \
which ! ) } rcas-n was not guilty. I stood de
fenseless In the storm , crying at the end
more than , "J don't think thus of you. "
"Vet you 'treat ' me nn though you though ,

nt me ,
"Tho king ! " cried Nell , and turning to mo
she mldoj bittlly : "HoM best not 11 nil you
here. "
"I ask no bettor than to be gone , " talil I ,
"I know , I know , " she cried. "We're not
disturbed , The king's coming Interrupts

to rlso again , whlio the serving girl stared

heard Noll's last speech , and now ho showed
himself , csktng easily :
"Who's the gentleman of lies j eocloty

I turned , bow'ng low. The king arched his
brous , It may well bo that ho had had Ills
fill of mo already , ami that he. was not well
ploucii to stumble on mo again , ami In. this
place , nut ho aslil nothing , merely turning
his eyes to Nell In question ,
"You know him , sir , " said she , throwing
horeclf Into a chair ,
"Yes , I know him , " said the U'nq. "Hut ,
If I may ( islr without presumption , what
brlcgs him hero ? "
Nell looked at the pair of u , jho king
and Simon Hale , and authored coolly :
"My Invitation. "
"The answer la all ( sufficient , " bowed tho"
HIiiB "I'm before my tlmo , then , for I've

"No , he's after his , " eald she. "Hut , ns

"Not on my account , I pray , " esld the king
politely.
"No. on his. He's not easy here. "
"Yet he outstayed his tlmo ? "
"Wo had a matter of business together ,
elr. Ho came to anU something of me , but
waiters did not , prove to 'be aa ho thought. "
"Indeed ; > ou must tell me more , or bhould

Nell rose , and comlug to 'the ' side of the
king' , plmir. stoat there.
" { IaiTttings | been other thau they are , Mr ,
Dilo would Jiavo asked mo to bo his wife , "
said she , '
.A ollonco followed. Then the king re
marked :
"Had things been other than they ure , Mr.
Dale would have done well. "
"And had they been other than they arc , I
might well have answered , yes , " said N'cll.
"Why , yes. very well , " said , the king , "for
Mr. Dale Is , I'm sure , a gentleman of spirit
and 'honor , although he seems , It I may say
so , Just now rather taciturn. "
"Uut Us matters nro ilr. Dale would have
no moro of me. "
"It's not for me. " said the kltv ? , "to < iuar-
rcl with his resolve , although I'm free to
marvel at It. "
"And usks no more ot mo than leave to de
part. " , i I
"Do you find It hard , madam , to grant him
that much ? "
She looked In the king's face and laughed
In amusement , but whether at him or me or
herself , I cannot tell.
"Why. yes , mighty hurd , " said she. "It's
strange how hard. "
' 'By my faith , " ' said thi ( king. "I begin to
bo glad that Mr. Dale asked no moro. For If
U bo hard to grant him this llttlo thing , it
might have been easy to grant him more.
Come , Is It granted to him ? "
"Let him ask for it again , " said she , and
leaving the king , she Dime and stood before
me , raisins her eyes to mlno. "Would you
leave me , Simon ? " she cried.
"Yes , I would leave you , madam , " said 1.
"To go whither ? "
"I don't know. "
"Yot the question Isn't hard , " Interposed
the king. "And the answer Is elsewhere. "
"Elsewhere ! " cried Nell. "But what does
that mean , sir ? "
"Nay , I don't know her name , " eald the
king. "Nor , maybe , does Mr. Dale yet. Uut
ho'II learn , and so , I hope , bliull I , it I can
bo of service- him. "
"I'm In no iiasto to learn It , " cried Nell.
"Why , no , " laughed the king.
Sic : .turned to me again , holding out her
hand , as though she challenged mo < to refuse -
fuse It.
"Good-by , S'mon ' , " said she , and bho broke
Into a strange little laugh that seemed de
void of mirth and to express a railing uiock-
ory of herself und what she did.
I saw the king watching | us with attentive
eyes and brows bout In a frown.
"Gcod-by , " eald I. Looking Into her eyes ,
I let my gaze dwell long on her. It dwelt
longer than I meant , reluctant 'to ' take last
leave of old friends. Then I kissed her hand
and bowed very low to the king , who replied
with n good-r.atured nod , 'then ' turning , 1
passed out of tiio room.
I take it that 'the ' change from youth to
manhood , and again from full manhood to
decline , comes upon us gradually , never
ccsslng but never swlTt , as mind and bcdy
alike are insensibly transformed 'beneath ' the
cssault of multitudinous unpercelved forces
of matter and of circumstance ; It Is 'tlio re
sult wo know ; ithat , not the process , Is the
reality for us. Wo awake to find done what
our sleepy brains missed In the doing , and
after months or years perceive oursclvca In
a. second older by all that period. We are
Jogged 'by ' the elbow , roused ruthlessly and
curtly hidden o look and ? ee how we arc
changed , and winder , weep or smile as may
seem beat to us In face of the metamorpho
sis. A moment cf such 'awakening came to
me now 1 scorned a man different from
him who had , no great 'number ' of minutes
before , hastened to the Jiouac , Inspired with
an insane hope and aflame with a passion
that defied rcpson , and summed up life In
longing. The lackeys were 'there ' atlll ; the
maid's smile altered only by a fuller and
more roguish Insinuation On me the
change had passed , and I looked , open-eyed
on what I had been. Then came a smile
close neighbor to a groan , and the scorn cf
my old self , which Is the sad delirium
\\rought by moving time ; but the lackey
held the door for mo and I passed out.
A noise sounded from above as the case
ment of the w indow was thrown open. She
looked out. Her anger was gone ; her emo
tion seemed gone also. She stood there
smiling , very kindly , but with mockery. She
held In either hand a flower. Ono she
smcllcd and held her face loag to It , as
though Its sweetness kept her senses willing
prisoners ; turning to the other , she sinolled
it for a short Instant , and then drew away ,
her face , that told every mood with unfail
ing aptness , twisted Into disappointment or
disgust. She leaned out , looking down en
mo ; now behind her shoulder I saw the
klc.g's black face , half hidden by the hang
ings of the window. She glanced at the first
flower , then at the accond , held up both her
hands for a moment , turned for an Instant
with a coquettish smllo toward the swarthy
face behind , then handed the first ( lower
with a laugh Into a bind that waa stretched
out for It , and flung the second down to mo.
As It floated through the air tha wind disen
gaged Its loose petals and they drifted away ,
some reaching ground , some caught by gusta

and carried away , circling toward the house
tops , The stalk fell by me. almost naked ,
stripped of Us 'bloom. ' For the second flower
wes faded and had no sweetness nor life In
it. Again her laugh sounded above mo and
the casement closed.
I bent and picked up the stalk. Wax It
her own mood she told mo In allegory ? Or
was It the * mood she know to be in mo ?
There had been an echo of soriow In the
Uugh , cf pity , kindness and regret , and the
laugh that she uttered In giving the fresh
bloMn to the klix had seemed pure mock
ery. It was my Jove , not hers , that found
Its symbol In the- dying flower and the stalk
robbed nf Its glory. She had said well , It
was cs she raid ; 1 picked up what eho flung
and went on 'my way , hugging my dead.
In this manner , then , have I , Simon the
old , shown how I , Simon the young , was
brought back to my snwca. It Is Ml very
Icng ago ,
CHAPTER X.
JH VIENS , TU VIBNS. IL VIENT.
It pleased his grace tha duke of Monmouth
so to do all things that men should heed his
doing ot them. Even in those days , and
notwithstanding certain transactions hereln-
brforo related , I was not altogether a fool ,
and I had not bt'cn long about him before I
detected this propensity , and , as I thought ,
the Intention underlying It. To set It down
boldly and plainly , thi ) more the duke ot
Monmouth was in the eye of the nation , the
better the nation accustomed Itself to regard
him BB the klug's sou. The more It fell Into
the habit ot counting him the king's son , the
loss astcnlihed and unwilling would It be
If fate ihould til&co hlui on the king's seat.

nands an ample exhibition ot tlio second.
It nns n small matter , this Journey to Dover ,
rot , that ho might not go In tlio train ot his
'ntlicr and tlio duke of York , but make men
: alk OL his own going , ho chose to net out
> cforelmml and alone ; lest even thus ho
should not win his meed of notlco , ha sot all
.ho Inns and all the- hamlets on tlio road
a-gosstolnff by accomplishing the Journey
'mm Lctulou to OintcTbury In his coach atld
six between sunrise and sunset ot a single
lay. To this end It was needful that tlio
coach should bo light. Lord Carford , now his
grace's Inseparable companion , alone eat
with him , while tlio rest of us rode on horse
back , and tlio post supplied us with relays
where wo were In want of them. Thus wo
went down gallantly and In very high style ,
with his grace much delighted at being told
that never had king or subject made such

man began. Hero was reward enough for all
the Jolting , the flogging of horses , and tlio
pain of yokels pressed unwillingly Into pushIng -
Ing the iccach with their shoulders through
miry places.
As I rode I had many things to think of.
My woo I held at arm's length. Of what
remained the Intimacy between his grace
and Uonl Carford , who wcro there In the
coach together occupied my mind most con
stantly. For by now I had moved about In
the world a little , and had learned that many
counted Oirford no bolter than a eecret
I'aplst ; that ho was hold In private favor , hut
not honored In public by thp duke ot York ,
and that commucilcatlons passed freely be
tween him and Arlington by the hand of the
secretary's good servant and my good friend ,
Mr. Uarrell. Therefore I wondered greatly
at my lord's friendship with Monmoutn , and
at his showing an attachment to the duke ,
which , as I had seen at Whitehall , appeared
to keep In check oven the natural Jealousy
and resentment of a lover. But at court a

man went wrong It ho held a thing unlikely
because there uas dishonor In It. There
men were not ashamed to bo spies them
selves , nor to use their wives In the same
olllco. Them to see no evil was to shut your
oyes. I determined to keep mine open In
the Interests of my new patron , of an older
friend , and , perhaps , of myself also , for
CarfoiU's nreseiit civility scarcely masked his
Unlike.
\Vo reached Canterbury whilst the light of
the long summer evening atlll served , and
clattcroJ up the stieul in muddy bravery.
The town was out to see hlsi grace , and hla
grace wa-s delighted lo bo seen by the town.
If of their courtesy they cho ae to treat
blin as a iirlnco he could scarcely refuse
Jhclr homage , and if he accepted It , it wco
better to accept It like one to the manner
born than awkwardly : yet I wondered
whether my lord made a note In his as
piring ibraln of all that passed , and how
sosn the duke of York would know that a
prince ' : -f Wales coming to Canterbury could
have received Jio greater houor. Nay. and
they hailed him as the champion of the
church , with Mis at the Homlsh faith which
my lord heard with eyes downcast to the
ground and a rigid smile carved on hla
face. It was all a forecast of what was one
day to be , perhaps to the hero of It a sug-
ge.iLlon of wl\t some day might be. At
least , ho was radiant over it , and carried
Carford off with him Into his apartment in
the merriest raoo-cl. He did not Invite me
trt Join his party , anil I was well content to
bs leM to wander for an hour In the qulot
clcao of the cathedral. For let mo say that
n joung man wnj nas uecn lately crossed
In love is In a hotter mood for most un
worldly meditation than he Is likely to bo
before or after. And If he would not be taken
too eitrlotly at his word In all ho says to
himself , then , uhy , wlu would , pray , and
whm ?
It was not my fault , but must bo set
down to our nature , that In tlmo my stomach
ach cried out angrily at my heart , and I re
turned to the Inn , seeking supper. His grace
was closeted with my lord , and I tuined Into
the public room , desiring no other company
than what should lie on my plate. But my
ho.u Immediately made me aware that I
must share my meal and the table With a
traveler who had recently arrived and or
dered a repast. This gentleman , concerning
whom the hcst seemed In some perplexity ,
had been Informed Mat the duke of Monmouth -
mouth was In the house , hut had shown
neither excitement nor surprise , nor , to the
honl's great scandal , the least deslro for a
sight of his grace. His men servants , of
whom he had t\vj. \ seemed tongue tied , so
that 'the host doubted if they hod more than
a few phrases of English , and set the whole
party down for Frenchmen.
"Hasn't the gentleman given his name ? " I
asked.
"No. Ho didn't offer It , and since ho flung
down money enough for Ills entertainment I
had no cause to ask It. "
"None , " I remarked "unless a man may
bo allowed more curiosity than a beast. Stir
younself about supper , " and walking In , I
saluted with all the courtesy at my command
a young gentleman of elegant appeiranco , so
far as I could Judge of him In travelcr'o
gnrb. who eat at the tablo. His greetings
equaled mine In politeness , and wo fell Into
talk on different matters , he using the Eng
lish language , which ho spoke wth | remark
able fluency , although evidently as a for
eigner , 11U manner waa easy and assured ,
and I took It for no more than an accident
that hla pistol lay roiily to his hand best ID
a small case or pocketbook of leather on the
table. He asked mo my buslncso , and I told
him simply that It waa going In the duke's
train to Dover.
"Ah , to meet madam , the duchess of Or-
It'sim ? " iml < l ho. "I heard of her coming be
fore I left France. Her visit , sir , will give
great pleasure to the king , her bro'.her. "
" .More If report apeak true , than to the
prince- , her husband , " said I. with a laugz. !
Fur tlio talk at court was that the duke of
Orleans hated to let his wife out of hla sight ,
w hllo , she , for her part , hated to be In It ,
Ilolh had their reasons , I do not doubt.
"I'cihaps , " he answered with a ehru ; .
"But It's hard to know the truth In these
matters. I am myself acquainted with many
gentlemen at the French court , and they have
muuh to siy , but I bpllcvo little of It , "
Though I might commend bin prudence , I
waa not encouraged to pursue the topic , and
eeeklng a change of conversation I paid him
a compliment on his mastery of English ,
hazarding a suggestion that ho muat have
passed eome tlmo in this country ,
"Yea. " bo replied. "I waa In London for a
year or more a little while aeo , "
"Your English puts my French to the
blush , " I laughed , "else hospitality would bid
mo use your language. "
"You speak French J" ho flaked. "I con-
fees It Is easier to me. "
"Only a little , andithat learned from incr-

chants , not at court. " For traders ot all na
tions had come from tlmo to tlrao to my
unclo's house nt Norwich.
"Uut I believe you gpcak very well , " lie In-
slated politely. "Pray , let mo Judge of your
skill for injself. "
I was about to oblige him , when a loud dispute -
puto arose outside , [ French ejaculations ming
ling with English oaths. Then cume a
scufllo , AVIth n hurried apology the gentle
man sprang to his feet and rushed out. I
wont ou with , my supper , supposing1 that hla
servants had fallen Into eome altercation with
the landlord and that the parties could not
make erie another Understand. My conjec
ture was confirmed when , the tiuvcler re
turned , declaring -that the quarrel arose over
the capacity of a measure oflno and had
been soon arranged. But then , with a little
cry ot vexation , ho caught up the pocketbook
from the table and darted a. quick glance , of
suspicion at me. I was moro amazed < than
angry , and my smllo caused ! him contusion ,
for ho saw that I had detected his fear.
Thinking htm punished enough for Jils rude
ness , although It might find some excuse In
the Indifferent honesty of muny who fre
quented the roads In the guise of travelers , I
relieved him by resuming the conversation ,
saying with a smile :
"In truth , my French is tlio schoolboy's
French. I can tell the parts of the verb
j'almc , tu himes , II almo ; It goes so far , sir ,
and no further , "
"Not far In'spcech , though otter far enough
In act , " ho laughed ,
"Truly. " I said with n elgh.
"Yet , I swear you do yourself Injustice. Is
there no more ? "
"A llttlo moro ot the oinio sort , sir. " And
casting about for another phrase with which
to humor him , I took the first that came to
my tongue ; leaning my arms on < the table ,
tor I had finished gating , I said with a smllo :
"Well , what say jou to this ? This is some
thing to know , Isn't It ? Jo vicns , tu vlcns , II
vlens. " t
As I live ho sprang to his feet with a cry
of alarm. His' bind darted to his breast ,
where ho had stoWed his pocketbook ; .he tore
It lout and examined the fostenlns with furi
ous haste and anxiety. I sat struck still with
wonder , the man seemed mad. Ho looked at
mo no\y , and his glance was full of deepest
suspicion. Ho opened his .mouth to speak ,
but words seemed > to fail him ; ho held out
the leathern C-JBO toward me. Strange as
was the question that his gesture put , I could
not doubt It.
"I haven't touched the book , " said I. "In
deed , sir , only your visible agitation can gain
you pardon for the suggestion. "
"Then how how ? " he muttered.
"You pass my understanding , sir , " said I ,
In petulant amusement. "I say In Jest , 'I
come , thou comest , lie comes , ' and the words'
act on you like abracadabra anJ the blackest
of magic. You don't , I presume , carry a
hornbook of French In your case , and If you
do I haven't robbed you of It. "
Ho waa turning the little case over and
over in his hands , again examining the
clasps of It. His next freak was to snatch
his jlstol and look to the priming. I hurst
out laughing , for his antics seemed absurd.
My laughter cooled him , and ho made a
great effort to regain his composure. But
I beganto _ rally him.
"Mayn't a man know how to say In French ,
'Ho cornea' without stealing the knowledge
from your book , sir ? " I asked. "You do us
wrong If you think so much is known to
nobody In Eagland. "
Ho glared at me like a man who hears a
Jest , but cannot tell whether It conceals earn
est or not.
"Open the case , sir , " I continued in mock
ery. "Make sure all is there. Como , you
owe me that much.1'
To my amazement he obeyed me. He
opened the case and searched through cer
tain papers which It contained. At the end.
lie sighed , aa though. In relief , yet his sus
picious air did not leave him.
"Now , perhaps , sir , " said I , squaring my
elbows , "you'll explain the comedy. "
That ho could not do. The very Impossi
bility of any explanation showed that I had.
In the meat unexpected fashion , stumbled
on some secret with him , oven as I had be
fore with Darrell. Was his secret DarreU's
or his own , the same or another ? What
It was I could not toll , but for certain there
It was. Ho had no resource but to carry the
matter with a high hand , and to thlo ho
betook himself with a readiness of his na
tion.
"You ask an explanation , sir ? " ho cried.
"There Id nothing to explain , and If thcro
were , I give explanations when I please , and
not to every fellow who chooses to ask them
of me. "
"I come , thou coiricst , ho comes 'tis a
very mysterious ! .pJirasQ. " said I , "I can't
tell what It rncaBfi ; And If you won't tell
me , sir , I must ask-.othcrs. "
"You'll to vvWer'to ' ask nobody , " ho said
mdr.aclngy. ) , , i #
"Nay , I shall'Uo'jio ' wiser If I ask nobody , "
I retorted wltli , $ smile ,
"Yet you'll'a tell ? moDody of what has
passed , " Bald hej'ndvanclng ' toward mo with
the plain Intenjqo'fijof Imposing his wilt an
mo by fear , slnr-c persuasion failed , I rose
to my feet and ( answered , mimicking his In
solent words. , ' ,
"I give promletfif sir , when I please , arid
not to every fellow who chooses to ask them
of mo. "
"You shall give me your promise before
you leave this rpdm , " ho cried.
His voice hadi been rising In passion anil
wag now loud and'flercu. Whether the sound
of It had reached. Jflo room above or whether
the duke andiCj > Vfprd had grown weary of
ono another I do not know , but as the French
gentleman uttered this last threat Carford
opened the door , stood aside to let his grace
enter and followed himself. As they came
In wo wcro In & most hostile attitude , for
the Frenchman's filstol was In his hand and
my band had flown to the hilt of my sword.
The duke looked at us in astonishment.
"Why , what's this , gentlemen ? " he asked.
"Mr. Dalf , are you at variance with this
gentleman ? " But before I had tlmo to
answer him ho bad stepped forward and een
tte Frenchman's face. "Why. hero Is M. do
Fontelles ! " he cried In surprise. "I am very
pleased to see you , sir. again In England.
Carford , hero la M. do Fontellca. You were
aciivjlnlc * ' wild him wben ho was In the
utte of the French ambassador , You carry
a meaiagOi air ? * '
I listened keenly to nil that the duke's
words told me. M. de Fontelles bowed low ,
but hla contusion waa In no way auateJ , and
Iio mudo no answer to his grace's question.
The duke tutned to me , saying 'wltb some
hauRhllnens :
"This gentleman Is a friend of mine , Mr ,
Dale. Pray why was your hand on
sword ? "
"Because the gentleman's pistol was In hla
iand , sir. "
"You appear always to bo very ready for a
quarrel , Mr. Dale , " said the duke , with a
Rlanco at Carford. "Pray , what's the
dispute ? "
"I'll tell your grace the whole matter , "
said I readily enough , for I had nothing to
jlrttno myself with ,
"Nay , I won't uavo It told , " cried M , do
Fontelles.
"It's my pleasure to hear It , " said the duke
coldly.
"Well , sir. It was thus , " said I , with a
candid air. "I protested to this gentleman
that my French was sadly to seek ; ho was
lollto enough to assure mo that I spoke It
veil. Upon this I owned to eomo small
diowlodRe , and for an example I said to him !
J'almc , tu almcs , 11 almo. ' IIo received the
remark , sir , with the utmost amiability. "
" " said the duke with
"Ho could do no less ,
n smile.
- "But ho would have It that this didn't ox-
miist my treasure of learning. Therefore ,
after leaving mo for a moment to set straight
a difference that had arisen between his
servants and our host , ho returned , put away
a leathern case that he had loft on the table
[ concerning which , Indeed , ho seemed morf
uneasy than would bo counted courteous here
n England , seeing that I had been alt the
while alone In the room with It ) and allowed
no to resume my exhibition of French speak-
ng. To humor him and to while away the
lour , during which I was deprived of the
ilcasuro of attending your grace "
"Yes , yes , Mr. Dale. Don't delay In order
to compliment me , " said the duke , smiling
still.
still."I
"I loaned across the table , sir , and I made
him a speech that sent him , to all seeming ,
half way out of his senses , for he sprang
up , sclzoJ Ills case , looked at the fastenings ,
saw 'to the priming' of his pistol , and filially
presumed to exact from mo a promise that
I would consult nobody as to the perplexity
Into which this strange behavior ot his had
flung me. To that I demurred , and hence
the quarrel with which I regret most humbly
that your grace should have been trou
bled.
"I'm obliged to you. Mr. Dale. But what
was this wonder-working phrase ? "
"Why. sir. Just the first that came Into
my head. I said 'to ' the gentleman to M.
do Fontelles , as I understand him to bo
called I said to him softly and gently , Jo
vleiig , tu vlens "
The duke seized me by the arm with r >
sudden air of excitement. Carford stepped
forward and stood beside him.
"Jo vlons , tu vlens Yes. And anymore ? "
cried the duke.
"Yes , your grace , " I answered , again
amazed. "J. completed what grammarians
call the singular number by adding , 'II
vicnt ; whereupon but I have told you. "
"II vleut ? " cried the duke and Carford
all In a breath.
"II vlent. " I repeated , thinking now that
all the three had run mad. Carford
screened his mouth with his 3iaud and
whispered In 'tho ' duke's car. The duke
fiMldod and made some answer. Both
seemed Infinitely stirred and Interested. M.
do Fontelles had nUo-J In sullen sllcnco by
the table , while I told the story of our quar
rel ; now his eyes were fixed Intently on
the duke's face.
"But why , " said I , "that simple phrase
worked such strange agitation In the gentle
man , your grace's wisdom may discover. I
am at a loss. "
Still Carford whispered , and presently the
duke said :
"Come , gentlemen , you've fallen Into a
foolish quarrel where no quarrel need have
cttme. Pray , 'be ' friends again. "
M. do Fontelles drew himself up stlfily.
"I asked n promise ot that gentleman and
ho refused it me , " he said.
"And I asked an explanation of that gentle
man and ho refused it me , " said I , just as
stiffly.
"Well , then , Mr. Dale shall give his
promise Ho me. Will that be agreeable to
you. Mr. Dale ? "
"I am at your grace's commands in all
things , " J answered , bowing.
"And you'll toll nobody of M. Fontcll'o's
agitation ? "
"Jf your grace pleases. To say the 'truth ,
I don't care a fig for his fierceness. But the
explanation , sir ? "
"Why , to make all level , " answered the
duke , smiling and fixing his gaze upon the
Frenchman , "M. de Fontelles will give hla
explanation to me. "
"I cry agreed , your grace ! " said 1.
"Come , let him give it. "
"To me , Mr. Dale , not to you , " smiled the
duke.
"What ! am I not to hear why he was so
fierce with me ? ' '
"You didn't care a fig for his fierceness ,
Mr. Dale , " he reminded me , laughing.
I saw that L was caught , and had the
sense to show no amvoyance , although , I must
confess 'to a very lively curiosity.
"Your grace wishes to 'bo alone wlVh M.
do Fontellcs ? " I asked readily and defer
entially.
"For a little while , If you'll glvo us leave , "
ho answered , but he added to Carford : "No ,
you needn't move , Carford. "
So I made my bow and left them , not
well pleased , for my brain was on the rack
to discover what might be the secret which
hung on that mysterious phrase , and \\hlch I
had so nearly surprised from M. de Kontellos.
"Tho gist of It. " tald I to myself , as I
turned to the kitchen , "lies , If I amnot mis
taken. In the third member. For when I
bad said Jo vlcns , .tu . vlens , the duke Inter
rupted me , crying , ' .Any . more ? ' "
I had made for the kitchen , since there
was no other room open to meand found It
tnnantnrl hv flio Fron h Rerv.infft nff _ , ln
Fontelles. Although peace had been made
between them and the hojt , .they . sat in deep
dejection. The reason was plain to see In
two empty glasses and an empty bottle that
stood on the table betncen them. Kindli
ness , aided , It innbe ' , by another motive ,
made mo resolve to euro their desponJency.
"Gentle-men , " suld I , in French , going up
to them , "you do not drink. "
They rose , bowing , but I took a third chulr
between them , and motioned them to bo
seated.
"Wo have not the wherewithal , sir , " said
ono , with a wistful smile.
'Tho thing Is mended as soon as told , " I
cried , and calling tha host I bide him bring
three bottles. "A man Is more at homo with
his own bottle , " said I.
With the wlno came now gayety , and with
gayety a How of speech , 'M. do Fontelles
would have admired the fluency with uOilch
I discoursed with his servants , they telling
mo of traveling In their country , I describing
the Incidents of the road In England.
"Thero are rogues enough on tlio way In
both countries , I'll warrant , " I laughed. "But
porhapj you carry nothing of great value and
laugh at robbers ? "
"Our spoil would make u robber a poor
meal , sir , but our master Is In a different
Plight. "
"Ah , ho carries treasure ? "
"Not In money , sir , " answered one. The
other nudged him , as though > to hid him
hold his tongue ,
"Come , fill your glasses , " I cried. , and.they
obeyed very readily.
"Well , men have mot their death between
hero and London often enough before now , "
I pursued meditatively , twirling my glass of
wlno In my fingers. "But with vou for hla
guard M , do Fontelles should bo eafo
enough. "
"Wd are charged to guard him with our
lives and not leave him till hu cornea to
the ambassador's house. "
"Out these rogues hunt sometimes In threes
and fours , " said I. "You might well lose
one of your number , "
"W.o'ro cheap , elr , " laughed ono , "Tho
king of Franco has many of us , "
"But If your master were the ono ? "
"Even then provision la mado. "
"What ? Could you carry his message
for If his treasure Isn't money , I must net It
down aa tldlnps to the ambassador ? "
They looked at ono another rather doubt
fully. But I was not behind hand in filling
their glasses ,
"Still wo should co ou oven without Mon
sieur , " said one ,
"But to what end ? " I cried , In feigned
derision.
"Why , wo too , have a message. "
"Indeed ; can you carry the king's mes
sage ? "
"Nona better , sir , " said the shorter of the
pair , with a shrewd twinkle In his eye. "For
> vo don't understand It. "
"la It dllllcult , then ? "
"Nay , It's so simple aa to eoom without
meaning. " , ,
"What. BO simple but your bottle Is
empty. Come , another ? "
"Indeed , no , monsieur. "
"A last bottle between us , I'll not bo
denied , " and I called for a fourth.
When wo were wcJI started on tlio drink
ing of It I aaked carelessly :
"And what's your message ! "
But neither the wlno nor the negligence of
my question had quite lulled Uiolr caution
to sleep. They shook their heads and
laughed , saylnc :
"Wo'ro forbidden to tell that. "
"Yet It It bo eo slmplo rm to have no mcan-
Inffhnt harm In tolling 117"
"But orders are orders , and wo'ro soldiers , "
answered the shrewd short follow.
The Idea had been working In my brain ,
growing stronger and stronger till It reached
conviction. I determined now to put It to the
proof.
"Tut , " eald I. "You make a pretty secret
of It , and I don't blame you. But I can RUCSS
your riddle. Listen , It anything befell M. do
Fontelles , which dod forbid "
"Amen , amen , " they murmured , with n
chuckle.
"You two , or If fate left but one , that on&
would ride on at his best speed to London ,
and there seek out the ambassador of the
most Christian king , Isn't that eo ? "
"So much , sir , you might guess from what
we've said. "
"Aye , aye , I claim no powers of dlvlna *
tlccj. Yet I'll Rucrs a little more. On being
admitted to the presence ot the ambassador
ho would relate the sad fate of his master
and would then deliver his message , and that
mosMgo would be " I drew my chair for
ward between them and laid a finger on the
arm of each. "That message , " said I , "would
bo Just like this and. Indeed , It's very sim
ple , and seems devoid of all rational mean-
Ing. 'Jo vlons , ' they started. 'Tu vlens , '
they Raped. 'II vlcnt , ' I cried , triumphantly ,
and their chairs shot back as they sprang to
their feet , astonishment vivid on their faces.
For me , I sat there laughing In sheer delight
at the excellency of my aim and the shrewd
ness ot my penetration.
What they would have said I do not know.
The door was thrown open and M. de Fen
telles appeared , Ho bowed coldly to mo and
vented on his servants the anger from which
ho was not yet free , calling them drunken
knaves , and'bidding them see to their horses
and lie down In the stable ? , for ho must bo
cci hla way iby daybreak. With covert
glances at mo which implored silence , and
received the answer ot a reassuring nod ,
they slunk away. I bowed to M. de Fen
telles with a merry smile ; I could not conceal
my amusement , and did not care how It
might .tuzzlo him. I strode out of the
kitchen and made my way up the stalro.
I had to pasa the duke's apartment. The
light still burned there , end ho and Carford
were sitting at the table. I put my head in.
"If your grace has no need ot mo I'll seek
my bed , " said I , mustering ji yawn.
"No need nt nil , " he answered. "Good
night to you , Simon. " But then he addc-J ,
"You'll keep your promlso to mo ? "
"Your grace may depend on me. "
"Though In truth I may tell you that the
whole affair Is nothing ; it's no moro than a
matter of gallantry , eh , Carford ? "
"No more , " said my Lord Carford.
"But such matters are beat .not talked of. "
I bowed as he dismissed me , and pursued
my way to my room. A matter of gallantry
might , it seemed , bo of moment to the mes
sengers of the king of France. I did not
know what to make of the mystery , but I
know there was a m > atery.
"And It turns , " eald I to myself , "on those
' ' Is he ? Whence
llttlo words 'II vlcnt. Who
comes he ? And to what end ? Perhaps I
shall learn these things at Dover. "
There Is this to bo said. A man's heart
aches less when hs ! head Is full. On that
night I did not sigh above half my usual
measure.
