JVt least tlio vicar would bo pleased. A
whimsical Joy In the anlt txitlon of his
dollght ohot across my gloomy meditations as
the eunset rays threaded their way through j
the narrow window ot the cJiambar that wan ]
any cell. The thought ot him stayed with moj
amusing my Idleness oad entertaining my
fancy. I could Imagine his wise , contented
nod , far from surprise as the poles are opart ,
full of sclfpproval as an egg Is of meat.
For his vision had been clear , In him faith
had never wavered. Of a truth the prophecy
which old Deity Nasroth spoke ( foolishness
though It were ) was through fortune's freak
two parts fulfilled. AVhat remained might
rent unjustified to my great content ; small
comfort had I won from so much as had como
to pass. I had loved where the king had
loved , and my youth , though It raised Its
head again , still reeled under tlio blow ; I
Unow what the king Itld-nyc , It might be
more than ono thing that ho hid ; my knowl-
odno landed mo where I hid now , In close
confinement with a Jailer at my door. For
my own 'choice I would crave the vicar s par
don , would compound with destiny and ,
taking the proportion ot fate's gifts already
dealt to mo In lieu of nil , would go In ocace ,
to humbler doings , beneath the dignity of
dark prophecy , but more nt to B'VO ' a man
quiet days nnd comforts In MB life. Indeed ,
as my Lord Qulnton had said long ago , there
wan stranRO wlno ' the king's cup , and I
had no dcalro to drink It. Yet who would not
have been moved by the strange workings of
cvonta which made the old woman's prophecy
Boom the true reading of a future beyond
RUCSS or reasonable forecast ? I Jeered and
Gnarled at myself , at Hetty , at her prophecy ,
at the vicar's credulity. Hut the notion would
not bo expelled. Two ports stood accom
plished but the third remained. "Glamls
thou art and Caivdor , and shall bo what thou
art promised. " I forget how It runs on ,
for It Is long since I saw the play , though I
dnako bold to think that It Is well enougn
written. Alas , no good came of listening to
wltchrs then , If my memory holds-tlio story
of the pleco rightly.
There Is little profit and less entertainment
In the record of my angry , desponding
thoughts. Now I lay llko a log , again I
ranged the cell as a beast In his cage. I
icared not a stiver for Buckingham's
echemes. I paid small heed to Nell's jeal
ousy. Itvns naught to mo who should be
the king's next favorite , and although I , with
oil other honest man , hated a popish king ,
the fear of him would not have kept mo from
my sleep or from my surper. Who cats his
dinner the less though a kingdom fall ? To
take a young man's appetite away and keep
tils eyes ciicn o' nights needs a nearer
touch than that. But I had on mo a horror oC
what was being done In this place. They
Bold a lady's honor there , throwing It In for
a makeweight In their bargain. I would
'havo ' dashed the scales from their hands , but
I was helpless. There Is the truth. A man
need not be ashamed for having had a trifle
oC honesty about him when ho was young ,
und 4f my honesty had the tacking of some
thing else that I myself knew not yet , why ,
far honesty's good safety God scut It such
backing always. Without some such aid It la
too often brought to terms and sings small In
the end.
The evening grow 'ate nnd darkness had
fallen. I turned again to my supper and con
trived tc ait and ( IrIcilc a glass or two ol
iwae. ! Suddenly I remembered Jonah Wall ,
nnd sent a curse after tlib negligent fellow ,
wherever ho might be , determining tliat the
next morning ho should tulte his choice be
tween a drubbing and dismissal. Then I
fltrotchcd myself agata on the pallet , resolute
to see whether a man > could will himself to
sleep. But I had hardly closed my eyes when
I opened them again and started up , leaning
on my elbow. There was somebody In con
versation with my Jailer. The conference
was very brief.
"Hero's the king's order , " I hoard , In a
Jiaughty , careless tone. "Open the door , fel
low , and bo quick. "
The door was flung open. I sprang to my
feet with n bow. The duke of Buckingham
Blood before me , surveying my person ( In
truth my state was very disheveled ) , and my
quarters wllh supercilious amusemenl.
There was ono chair , and I sei It for him.
Ho sat down , pulling off his lace-trimmed
gloves.
"You nro the gentleman I wanted ? " ho
asked.
"I have reason to suppose so , your grace ,
I answered.
"flood , " said ho. "Tho duke of Monmouth
and I have spoken to the king on your be
half. "
I bowed grateful acknowledgments.
"You nro free , " ho continued , to my Joy.
"You'll leave the caatlo In two hours , " ho
added , to my consternation. But ho op-
pearcd to perceive neither effect ot his words.
"Thcco arc the king's orders , " ho ended
composedly.
"But , " I cried , "If I leave the caatlo , how
can I fulfill your grace's desire ? "
"I said those were the king's orders. I
liavo something to add to them. Here , I have

and not forget. Your lantern there gives a
poor light , but your oyca are young. Heat

I took thu paper that ho handed me and
read ;
"In two houre' time be at Cannonsgate
The gale will bu open , Two serving men
will bo tlicro wllh two horses , A woman
will bo conducted lo thu gite and dollvere ;

liand you fifty guimean lu gold. Deliver the
woman to thla gentleman , return Immcdt
nlply to London , and lie In euto hiding til
word reaches you from mo. "
I read and turned to him In amazement.
"Well , " he saked , "Isn't It plain enough ? '
"The woman I i Kuew , " I answered
"but I pray your grace to tell wo who la th
goutloman , "
"What need Is tliero for you to know
Do you think that more than ono wilt seek
you at tue Merry Mariners' tavern , and
pray your acceptance of fifty gulneaa ? "
"Hut I should llko to know who the on

"You'll knpw whew you see Wm. "
"With rwpect to your grace , thld 1 note
to tell * * * w . "
auu can't bo told more , sir.
"Then I won't go. "
Ho frowned and bwt his gloves oa hla
thigh Impatiently.
"A gentleman , your grace , " said I , "must
bo trusted or ho cancel aorve , "
Ho looked round the llttlo cell , and asked
significantly :
"Is your stale such as to entitle you to
nial < o conditions ? "
"Coly when j'our grace lisa need of eorv-
Icea which I can give or refuse , " I answered ,
bowing. His Irritation suddenly vanished ,
or seemed -to vanish. Ha leaded back In hU
chair and laughed.
"Yet all the time , " eald he , "you've
guessed the gentleman , Isn't It < * > ? Come ,
Mr. Dale , wo understand ono another , This
service , It all ROCS well , la simple. Hut It
you're Interrupted ta leaving the icastlo you
must use your sword. Well , If you use your
sword and don't prove victorious , you m y
be taken. 1C you're taken , It will 'be ' boat
tor alt of ua that you shouldn't know the
r.'imo ot this gentleman , and best for him
and tor mo that I should not have men
tioned U. "
The llttlo doubt that J had harbored was
one. Ilucktngham nnd Monmouth wcro
land In hand. Buckingham's object was
lolltlcal. MonmoU'th ' waa to find hla reward
n. 'the ' prize lhat I was to rescue from the
lutches of M , do Perrenourt and hand over
o him at Iho hoalclry at Deal. U success
trended the atlempt Iwas ito disappear !
' . It failed my name and I were to be the
lilcld anil bear the brunt. The reward waa
) guineas and perliapu a serviceable gratl-
udo In the minds of two great men , preMed -
Mod I lived 1o enjoy Iho fruit ofTt.
"You'll accept the task ? " asked the duke.
The 'task waa to thwart M. de I'orroncourt
nd grallfy the duke of Monmouth. If I
efuscd It another might accept nnd ac-
ompllsh It ; If such a champion failed JI.
o I'erroacourt would triumph. If I accepted ,
should accept In the fixed Intcnllon ot play-
ns traitor to ono of my employers. I might
icrvo Buckingham's i turn. I should seek to
aw rt Monmouth.
"Who pays me my flfly guineas ? " I asked.
"Faith , I , " ho answered with a shrug.
Young Monmouth Is enough Ills father s n.tr
o have Tils pockets always empty. "
On this point I settled my point of casills-
ry In nn Instnnl. , '
"Then I'll carry the lady away from the
astlo , " I cried.
Ho started , leaned forward , nnd I-oked hard
t > my face. "Wtat do you mean , what do
ou Know ? " ho asked plainly enough , nl-
hough silently. Hut I Tiad cried out , with an
ppearance of zeal nnd Innocence that baffled
ils curiosity , nnd my guileless expression
? ivo his suspicions no food. Perhaps , too ,
ieliad , no wish to Inquire. There wns Htt'.e
eve between him and Monrnouth , for he had
Jeen bltlerly offended by Ihe honors and
> roccdenco assigned lo Iho duke. Only a
nomentary coincidence of Interest bound
hem together In this scheme. If the part
hat concerned Buckingham were accom
llshed ho would not break his heart on QC-
ounl of the lady not 'being ' ready for Mon-
raoulh at the hostelry of the Merry Mariners.
"I think , Ihen , lhat wo understand one an
ther , Mr. Dale. " said he , rising.
"Well enough , your grace , " I answered
vlth aibow , and I rapped on Ihe door. The
allcr ouencd it.
"Mr. Dale Is free to go whore he will within
he easllo. You cam return to your quar-
ers , " said Buckingham.
The soldier marched off. Buckingham
utned to mo.
'Good forlune In your onlorprlse , " ho said.
'And I give you Joy on your llbcrly. "
The words were not out of his mouth when
a lieutenant und two men appcaroJ , approaching
preaching us at a rapid walk nay , almost at
a run. They made directly for us , the duke
and I both watching them. The officer's
sword was drnwn In his hand , their doggo s
vcro fixed In the muzzles ot the soldiers'
mus-ets.
"What's happened now ? " asked Bucklng-
lam In a whisper. '
The answer was not Ions la coming. The
leutonant halted before us , crying :
"In tha king's name I arrest you , sir. "
"On my soul , you've a 'liablt ' of icing ar-
estcd , sir , " said the duke , sharply. "
'What's the cause this time ? "
"I don't know , " I answered , and 1 asked
ho ofllcer , "Oni Tviat account , sir ? "
"Tho king's orders , " ho answered , curtly.
'You must come with mo at once. " At a
sign from him his men took their stand on
either side of me. Verily , my liberty had
> ccn short. "I must -warn you that wo shall
stand at nothing If you try to escape , " said
the officer sternly.
"I'm not a fool , sir , " ( I answered. "Where
are you going to take .mo ? "
"Whoro my orders dlrecl. "
"Come , como , " InlerruptoJ 'Buckingham '
mpntlently , "not so much mystery. You
enow me ? "Well " , this gentleman Is my
frli-nd , and I dcslro to know whore you take
him. "
"I crave your grace's pardon , but I must
not answer. "
"Then I'll follow you and discover , " crlei
the duke angrily.
"At your grace's peril , " answered the
ofllcer , firmly. "If you Insist I must leave
ono ot my men to detain , you here. Mr
Onlo must go alone with mo , "
Wrath and wonder were eloquent on the
proud duke's 'face. ' In me this now mlsad-
Vftnturo bred a species of resignation. ;
smiled at him as I said :
" .My business with your grace must wait
It Bcems "
"Forward , sir , " orlcd the officer , Impa
tiently , and I was marched off at a rouni
lace , 'Buckli'flham ' not attempting to fcl-
: ow , but turning back In the direction o ;
; ho duke of Monmoutu's quarters. The con-
Icdcralcs must seek a new Instrumenl now
It their purpose were to thwart the king's
wishes they anight not again find what they
wanted so easily.
I wns conducted straight and quickly to
the keep , nnd passed up. the steps that led
to the corridor In which the king iwas
lodged. They hurried mo along , and. I hai
time to notice nothing until I came lo a
door near Iho end ot the building , on the
western side. Hero I found Dai'-cll , np
paroiitly on guard , for his sword 'Was drawn
and a pistol In his left hand ,
"Hero , sir , Is Sir. Dale , " said my con
ductor.
"Good , " answered Dirrell , briefly. I saw
lhat Ills face was very polo , and ho accordn
mo not the least slgo ot recognition , "Is ho
armed ? " ho nslced.
"You see I have no weapon , Mr. Darrol ! , '
said I Etlftly.
"Search him , commanded Drtrrcll , Ignor
In'g ' mo utterly.
I grew hoi and. ungry ; the soldiers oboypi
his order. I fixed my eyes on htm , but h
would not meet my gaze ; the point of hi
sword tapped the lleor on which It reeled , to
bis hand was shaking like a leaf.
"There's no weapon ou him , " announce !
the officer , ' |
"Very well , I-eave him wltUimo , sir , nu
retire with your men lo the foot of the ntepa
If you hoar a whistle , return aihqulckly a
possible. "
The officer bowed , turned about and de
pirted , followed by his men. Darrell and
slood facing1 ono another for a moment.
"In heaven's name , what's the meaning of
this , Darrell ? " I cried. "Ilaa m dime
brought the bastlle over with her , and arc
you made governor ? "
He answered not n word. Keeping his
sword utlll lu readiness , ho tapped with the
muzzle of hla pistol oa the door by him. Af
ter a moment it was opened and a head
looked out. The face wus Sir Thomas Clif
ford's ; the door was flung wide , a gesture
from Darrell bade me enter. I stepped In ,
be followed , and tbo door was Instantly shut
cloao behind us ,
I nli < ill not readily forget the view dlicloseil
to mo by the flaring oil lamps hung In. sconces
to the ancient smoky walla , I was In a nar
row room , low and not large , scantily fur
nished with faded richness and hung to lult
Its height with mouldering tapestries. The
Uoor was bare and uneven from time and uso.
ID thd middle ot tbo room < was a Ions table
of polished oak wood , la the center of which
eat the king , on Ills loft waa the duchess ot
Orleans and teyoud her tbo duke ot York ;
n the klns's right at the end of the bible
vas nn empty chair. OllfTord moved toward ,
t now nnd took ! li's ' scat ; next to him wns
Arlington , -then Colbert de Crolssy , the spe-
lal envoy of the French king ! next lo our
ting was another empty chair , an nrnvchalr
Iko the king's ; empty It wns , but M. do 1'cr-
cncourt leaned easily over the TJack of U ,
vlth his oyei fixed on me. On tha .table were
materials for writing and a l.-irRo shoot of
wper fcccd the king or M. do Porrencourt ,
t seemed just between Ufeni. Thcro uus
lotblns efoo ot the table' except a bottle ot j
vine and two c > s. One was fujl to the brim ,
vhllo the liquor In the other fell short of
ho top of the glass by , quarter of nn Inch.
VII present were allcnt ; wvo M. do 1'erren-
ourt alt seemed disturbed. The king's
warthy face appeared rallior pale than | ,
swarthy , nnd his hand tuppnt nervously on
he lable. All thls.I saw , while .Barrel . ! stood
rigidly by me , sword In hand.
MuJarne was the first to speak , her dell-
ate , subtle face lit up with recognition ,
"Why , I Imvo spoken with this gentle
man , " she said In a low voice.
"And 1. also. " said II. do Pcrroflcourt. tin
ier 'his ' breath. I think he hardly know
hat ho spoke , for the words seemed the
merest unconscious outcome ot his thoughts.
The king raised his hand , ns Ihoiigh to ,
irocf-o silence. Martamo bowed In apologetic j
ubmlsslon. M. do Perrencourt took no |
iced ot the gesture , although ho did not ,
peak again , A moment later ho laid his ;
land on Colbert's shoulder and whispered to
ilm. I thought I heard Just n word , II
vos "Fontellcs. " Colbert looked up and
nodded. M. do Perrencourt folded his arms
03 the back of the 'clialr ' , and bis face to-
timed Its Impassivity.
.Another moment passed iboforo the king
poke. His voice1 wns calm , but there
corned still to echo In It a trace of some
violent emotion nearly passed ; a slight stnlln
urvod his lips but there was moro malice
han 'mirth ' in It.
"Mr. Dale , " said he , "tho gentleman who
stand1) by you once 'beguiled ' an Idle minute
or mo by telling mo of a ccrlalui strange
irophecy concerning1 you which bo had , he
"Then coma and bike 11 , " eald Iho king.
I advanced nfler a low bow ; Darroll , lo my
fresh wonder , kept pace with me and when
I reached the table \sav atlll at my side. lip-
fore I could move the suord might be through
mo or tho'ball from his pistol In my brains.
The strange scene began to Intoxicate me , Its
stirring suggestion mounting to my brain
like fumes ot wine. I seized the cup and held
It hlgli in my hand , I looked down In the
king's ' face and thcnco lo madamo's ; lo her
I bowed low and cried :
"By hla majcsly'a permission , I will drain
this cup to tlio honor of ( ho fairest and most
illustrious princess , madame , the duchess of
Orloitis. "
The ducbess half rote from tier seat , crying
In a loud whisper , "Not to me ; no , no , I can't
have him drink it to me. "
The king still held her hand ,
"Drluk It to me , Mr. Dale , " ho said.
I bowed to him nnd put the cup to my lips.
I wiia In the act to drink It when M , do I'er-
ruucourt spoke :
"A moment , sir , " ho .said , ralmly. "Have
I the king's permission to toll Mr. Dale a
secret concerning this wine ? " ' ,
The duke of York looked up with a frown ,
the klug turned to M. de Perrencourt as it U
doubt , the Frenchman met hla glance and
n-ddpd ,
"M , do Perroncourt Is our guest" said tbo
king. "He must do as ho will. "
M. de Perrencourt having thus obtained
permission ( when was his will denied him )
leaned ono hand on the table , and , bending
across toward me , said In slow , calm , yet
Impressive tones :
"Tho Wng , sir , wns wearied with business
and parched < wlllt talking ; ot his goodness lie
delected la mo tbo same condition * So iho
bade my good friend and his good- subject ,
Mr. Darrell , furnish blm with a bottle of
wlno , and air. Darrell brought a bottle , saying
that the klng'i cellar was abut and tbo
colliirman In bed , but praying the king to
honor him , by drinking -his wine , which , was
good French wine , mien as the king loved
and ouch as ho hoped to put before his
majesty at eupper presently. Then tils
majesty asked whence It came , and Mr.
Darrell * nwcredthat to was indebted for
U to bit good friend , ( Mr. Sl'.iou Dale ,
would bo honored by the king's drink
ing It. "
"Why , It's ; my own wine , then ! " I cried ,
snvlllng now.
"Ho spoke * { ho truth , did he ? " pursued M.
de Perrcncourt composedly. "U U your wine ,
sent by you to Mr , Darrell ? "
"Even so , sir , " I unswcred. "Mr. DarrolPs
wlno wiis out and I sent him some -bottles of
mlno by his survont. "
"You knew for what up needed It ? "
1 Iwd forgotten for the moment what
Hobett said , an ] hesitated In my answer. M.
do Pcrrencourt looked Intently at me.
"I think , " said I , "thai llobert told mo
Mr. Darrell expected the king to sup with
him. "
"Ho told you 'that ' ? " he asked ehatply.
"Yea. I remember that , " said I , now
thoroughly bewildered by the .history and
the catechism which seemed necessary to a.n
oct so simple as drinking a glass ot iuy own
wine.
M. do PerrenccAirt said nothing more , but
hla eyes were sllll set on my lace with n
pur.zled , searching expression. Ills glance
confused mo arxl I looked round Ihe table.
Often at such moments Ihe merest trifles
catch our attention , and now for the flist
time I observed that n little of tbo wine rtad
been spilled en the polished oak of the table ,
nnd wuoro It Lad fallen the bright surface
seemed rusted to dull brown. I noticed the
change an.1 wondered for an Idle second how
it came Hi at wine turned a polished table
dull. The Ihlng was driven from my .hod .
Uio next moment by a brief and harfh order
from the king.
"Drink , sir , drink. "
Strained with excitement , I started nt the
order , and spilled some of the- wine from
Iho cup on my bind. I felt a strange bum-
IIIR where It jell , but again 'the king cried :
"Drink , sir. "
1 hesitated no more. necslllns my wan
dering wits , and determining Jo pity ray
part In the comoJy , whatever it might mean ,
I bowcvl , cried "GoJ save your majesty , "
nnd raised the cup to my lips. As II
touched them I saw madam ? hide her eyes
with her hand and M. do Perrcncourt lean
"GOD SAVE YOOH MVJESTY.'C ' / ,
said , from your own lips , and In 'which '
ITU- name or. at leixst some kind's name
and yours were quaintly coupled. You
KIIOW witat I .etor to ? "
I bowed low , wondering what In heaven's
name ho could be at. It was , no doubt , hl h
tolly to love Mistress Owyn , but scarcely
lilgh treason. 'Besides ' , had not I repented
and foresworn 'her ' ? Ah , but the second
moirJber of the prophecy ? I glanced eagerly
at IM. do Pcrrencourt , eagerly at the paper ]
before the king. There were lines on the i
paper , but I could not read thum. and M. I
do Pcrrer.court's face was fully as baffling , j
"If I remember rightly , " pursue ! the !
king , after HsteDlng to a whispered sentence
from his sister , "tho prediction foretold.
that you should drluk or my cup. Is It
not so ? "
"It was so , sir , although 'what your maj
esty quotes was the end , not the begin
ning of It. "
Fur an Instant a Bmlle glimmered on the
king's face. H was gone , and ho 'pro
ceeded gravely : j
"I am concerned only with that part of
It. I love prophecies and I love to see
thorn fulfilled. You see that cup there , the
one that Is not quite full. That cup of wine
was poured out for me. , the other for my
friend , M. do Pcrrencourt. I pray you ,
drink of my cup , and let the prophecy stand
fulfilled. "
In honest truth I 'began ' to think that
the king had drunk other cups before and
loft them not so full. Yet ho looked sober
enough and the rest -were grave and mute.
What masquerade was this , to bring mo
under guard and threat of death to drink
n cup of wine ? I would have drunk a dozen
of my free will , for the asking.
"Your majesty ideMres me to drink that
cup of wine ? " 1 asked.
"If you please , sir , Ihe cup that was foureJ
out for me. "
"Wllh all my heart , " I cried , and , romom-
berlng my manners , added , "iindwilh mnut
dutiful thanks lo your majesly for Ihis sig
nal honor. "
A stir , hardly to be scon'yet ' certain , ran
round the table. Madame stretched out a
bond toward the cup is though with a sud
den , Impulse to seize 11. The king caught
her hand and held It prisoner. M. do Perrcn-
court suddenly dragged his ehnlr back , and
passing in front ot It , stood close over the
table. . Colbert looked up at him , but his
eyes wcro fixed on mo , and the envoy went
unnoticed.
furlhev ncros tho'1 ISblc , whllo art' short ,
'
quick gasp op "breat'h " came from where lai- )
rell f.oc'd ly my slcte.
I knc > n' how lo take off a bumper ot wine.
No slppfngs and swallowlngs for me. r laid
ray iionguo well down in Ihe bottom of my
mouth , that -the liquor inlghl have fair paa >
sage , and threw my head back as you see
a hen do ( In thanks to heaven , they say ,
though slio drinks only \\ater ) . Then I
tilted the cup , and my mouth was full of the
wine. Ias conscious of a taste In it , a
strange , acrid 'taste. ' "Why , it was poor
wine , turned sour ; It should go 'b 2ck to
morrow ; that Jcol Jonsh was a foal in all
thlncs ; and I stooj dligraced for offering
this acrid .stuff Co a friend. And he gave
It to the king ! It was the crudest chance.
Why
Suddenly , when I had gulped down but
ono gcod mouthful , I saw M. de Pcrrencourt
lean rlghl across the 'table. ' Yet I saw hi 11
dimly , for my eyes seemed > lo grow glazed
and Ihe room 'to ' spin round me , the fig
ures at the table'taking strange shapes
and weird , dim faces , and a singing sound
ing In my ears , as though .tho sea roared
'there ' , nnd not on Dover beach. There was
a woman's cry , and a man's arm shot out
at me. J foil a sharp blow on my wrial ,
the cup was dashed from my hand on to
Iho Btono floor , 'breaking In'to len thousand
pieces , while Iho wine made a puddle at my
feet. I stcoa Ihere for an Instant , struck
motionless , glaring Into -the face 'that was
opposite ijo mine. It was M. de Perren-
court's , no longer calm , but pale and twIUOi-
Ing. This was the last thins I saw clearly.
The king and hla companions were fused In
a shifting mass of trunks and faces , the
walls raced round , the singing of the sea
roared and fretted In my caia. I caught my
hand 'to ' my ibrow ami sUiTgered. I could
not stand. I heard n clatter as Ihough
of a sword falling 'to 'tho floor , arms were
strolciaod out to receive me , and I sank
Into 'them ' , hearing a murmur close by mo ,
"Simon , Simon ! "
Yet ono thing more I heard before my
sencos left mo , a loud , proud , Imperious
voice , the voice "that " speaks ito ba obeyed ,
whc-30 ncsertlon .brooks no contradiction. It
rang in my ears , where- nothing else could
roach them , and even then I knew whence
it came. The voice was Ihe voice of SI.
do Perrencourt , and It seemed that ho spoke
to the king of England.
"Brother. " ho < rlcd , "by my faith In God ,
this gentleman is Innocenl , and his llfo Is on
our heads , if he lose It. "
I heard no more. Stupor veiled mo round
In an Impenetrable mist. The figures van
ished , the tumultuouH slnglug ceased. A
great silence encompassed .me , and all was
gone.

Slowly the rodm , a < ld thq sccno came back
lo mo , dlBeiisutjiiigi/itliomsclvea from the
darkness which had'.settled on my eyes , re
gaining dlstlncltiesB' in'i their proper fo'rni.
I was Bitting in .i . .ch&lr. nnd there were wet
bandagcj about twy .bead. Those present be
fore were therty btjll , save t\I , do 'Pcrrcn- '
courl , whose 'plajio ( pj Ihu lablo was vacant.
The largo sheel | p imper and materials for
writing had vanished. There was a fresh
group at the enVj , jicjct to Arlington. Hero
now sat the duty's ' ; qf'Monmouth nnd Uuck-
inghatu , carrying ourn low conversation with
the secretary. Tha'Ttlnsr ' lay back In his
chair ifrowning , tUni rcgardlnK with sovcro
gaze a man whftitmcl opposite to him al
most where I hnd bdon when I draolc the
king's cuj > . The > p.ytood Darrell and the
lieutenant of tljtj fiords who bad arrested
mo , and ibetwoiw .them , with clothes torn
and muddy , facu-scratched and stained with
'blood ' , wllh panting breath and gleaming
oyea , firmly held by either arm , was Phlneas
Tate , the rnnter. They had sent and caught
him then , while I lay unconscious. 13ut what
led them to luspect him ? "
There was Ibo volco of a man speaking
from Iho olber side of this party of three.
I could not sco him , for their bodies came
between , but 1 recognized the tones of Ilob-
ort , Darrell's servant. U was he , then , who
had put them on Jonah's track , and > in fol
lowing that they muej Jmyc como on Phincao.
"We found thp two together , " he was say
ing , "this man and Mr. Dale's taervant , who
had brought the wine from the town. Both
were armed wllh plslols and d'isger , and
seemed ready to meet an attack. In the alley
In front of the house that I have named "
"Yes , yes. enough of the bouse , " inter
rupted the king Impatiently ,
"In Iho alley there were two liorsea ready ,
We utucked the men tit once , the lieutenant
and I making lor this one here , the two wilt
ns strlvlns to sccnro Jonnh Wall. This man'
ntniRglod desperately , but seemed Ignorant i
ot how to handle tls weapons. Yet ho pave i
its trouble enough , nndf wo hatl to use him
roughly. At lost wo had him , but then wo
found tbrt1 Jonah , who foupht like a wildcat ,
had wounded both the guards with his knlto ,
and , although himself wounded , had escaped
by the stairs. Leaving this man with the
lieutenant , I rushed down after him , but ono
of the horses wns gone r.ml I homl no sound
ot hoofs. Ho hnd got u start ot us and Is
well out of Dovbr by now. "
I was straining &U my attention to listen ,
yet my eyes fixed themselves on Phlneas ,
whoso head wns thrown twck defiantly. Sud
denly n voice cnmo from behind ) my chair.
'That man must bo pursued " said M. de
rcrrcncourt , "Who knows that there nwy
not bo accomplices In this devilish plot ? This
man has planned to poison the king , the ser
vant was his confederate. I say , may there
not have been others In the wicked scheme ? "
"True , true. " said the king , uneasily. "Wo
must lay this Jonah Wall by ths heels. "Whit's
known of him ? "
Thinking the appeal was mode to me , 1
Btrovo to rlso. M. do Pcrrencourt'a arm
reached over the back of my chair nnd kept
tnn down. I heard Dirrcll take up the story
nml tell what ho knew and It w.is ns much
ns I know ot Jonah Wall , and vhat ho knew
of Phlncas TMto iijso.
"U Is a devilish plot , " said the kins ; , who
was still giiMtly shakem and perturbed.
Then Phlncas spoke loudly , boldly , and
with a voice full of rapturous fanaticism
which drowned conscience and usurped In
him religion's place.
Micro , " ho crledi "nro the plots. Hero are
the devilish plotsl What do you here ? Aye ,
whal do you plot hero ? Is this man's llfo
more than Qod's truth ? Is Clod's word to bo
lost that the r.lns niul debauchery of thin
man may continue ? "
Ills long , Icnn finger pointed at the king.
A mule consternation fell for nn Instant on
tl.em nil and none Inlerruplcd him. They
hnd no answer ready for his qticsllon. Wen
do nol count on such questions being asked
nt court the mnniMrs nro too good there.
"Here are the plots ! I count myself
blcssnJ to dlo In the effort to thwart them.
I -have fnlled , but others shall not fall. God's
Judgment Is sure. What do > ou here , Charles
Stimrl ? "
'M. do Perrencourt walked suddenly and
briskly round to where the king sat , and
\\hlspercd In his car. The king nodded and
said :
"I Ihlnlt Ibis fellow Is mad , -but It's a dan
gerous madness. "
Phlneas did not heed him , but cried
n'oud :
" \nd you here are you all with him ?
Are you all apostates from God ? Are you
nil given over lo the superstitions of Home ?
Are you all here to barter God'a word nnd "
Tlhe king sprang lo his feet.
"I won't listen , " he cried. "Stop hla
cursed mouth. I won't listen. " Ho looked
around with fear and alarm In his eyes. I
perceived his gaze turned toward his son
and Buckingham. Following It I saw their
faces alight with eagerness , excitement nnd
rurlosllv. Arlington looked down at the
table. 'Clifford ' leaned his head on his hand ;
nt the ol or end the duke of York hnd
sprun ? up like 'bis ' brother and was Blaring
angrily nt the hold prisoner. Darrell did
not wait to bo hidden twlcc.but whipped n
sill ; handkerchief from his pocket.
"He'p a d now the deed Is being done ! "
crirrt Phlncas "Hero and now " Ho could
say no more : In spite of his desperate strug
gles he was pn.eed anl stood silent , his
eyes still burning with the message his
lips wore not suffered to utter. The king
' -.ink back In Ma s > at and casl a furllvo
glance around Iho Uble. Then ho sighed
as ll'OURh In relief , and wiped his brow.
Monmoulh's voice came clear , careless , con-
ntlcrt.
"Wha''s ihls madness ? " he asked. "WJio
bpro I * Utrlerlng GoJ's word ? And for what ,
pray ? "
No answer WSG pl\en to him ; he glanced
In Insolent amusement at ( Arlington and
CIIITord. Hun In Inbolenl defiance at the
duke of York.
"Is rot the religion of the country safe
A'Kh ' the king ? " he aeke-d , bowing to bis
( father.
"So safe , James , tint It floes not need you
to champion It , " said the king drjly , yet
his volco trembled a lltlle. Pblncns raised
th.if lean forefinger at him again nnJ polnled.
"Tto Iho fellon"3 arms lo his side , " the king
commanded in Cia-ity Irritation ; he sighed
again W'len the finger coulrt n ? longer point
at hln , nnd his eyc-s again furtively sought
Monmouth's face. The young duke leaned
back with a scornful smile , and the ccn-
sclousness of 'tho king's regard did nol lend
him lo srhool his face lo any moro seemly
expression. My wlls had come back now.
ai .ooili mv bead ached fiercely , and my
bo'ly was full ot aculo pain ; bul I watched all
ttia : passed , aril I knew that , ccmo w.iat .
might , they would not let PMncas speak.
Yet Phlr.ens could know nothing. Nay. but
'thd ' shafts of madness , often wide , may once
hit the mark. The paper that had lain be
tween the king and M. de Perrencourt waa
hidden.
Again the French gentleman bent and
whispered In the king's cur. He spoke long
'this ' lime , and all kept silence while he spoke.
Phlneas 'because he must , the lieutenant
with surprised eyes , the rest -In thai seeming
Indifference \\hich , as' I now knew" , imsked
their real deference. At last the king looked
up , nodded , and smiled. His air grew
calmer and moro assured , and the trembling
wao gone from his voice as he spoke.
"Come , gentlemen , " eaid he , "while we
talk this ruflianlio has escaped us makes
good pace from Dover. L. t the duke of Mon
mouth and the duke of Buclclughm each
take a dozen mom and scour the country for
him. I shall be greatly In the debt of e'llher
who brings him to me. "
The two dukes starled. The servlcs which
the king demanded of thcmi entailed an ab
sence of several hours from the castle. It
might be that they or one of them , would
learn something from Jonah W 11 , but It
was far moro likely that they would not find
him , or that he would not iuffer himself to
be taken alive. Why wcro lliey sent and not
a , couple of the officers on. duty ? Uut If the
i king's < ibjcat were to secure their absence ,
the s-hemo was well laid. I thought now thr t
I could guess what M. de Perrencourt had
FIId : lu that whispered conference. Bucking
ham hnd the discretion to recognize when Ihe
BI .mo went against him. He rose at once with
a bow , declaring that ho hastened to obey the
1 king's command and would bring the fellow
! In , dcnd or alive. Monmoulh had less self-
I conlrol. He rose , Indeed , bul rcluctinlly , and
j with a sullen frown on his handsome face.
"It's poor work looking for a single man
over Ihe counlryslde , " ho grumbled.
"Your devotion to mo will Insplta and guUe
you James " observed Ihe king. A elmnco of
mocking another made him himself agnlni as
no other euro could , "Come , lose no time. "
Then the king addol. "Take this fellow away
und lock him up , Mr. Darrell. Sco that you
guuid him well and let nobody come iuar
him. "
M. do Porrencourt whispered.
"Above all let htm speak to nobody. Ho
must tell what h ( ( knows only at the right
time , " added the king.
"When will that bo ? " asked Monmouth
nudlhly , yet so low tli-H the king could feign
not to hear and smiled plcarantly at his sou.
But still the duke lingered , although Buck
ingham was gone and Phlncas Tate had been
led out between his custodians. Ills eyes
sought mine , and I read n | appeal In tljem ,
That he desired to take me with him in pur
suit of Jonah Wall I did not think , but b9 dc-
ulroJi Above all things to get me out of that
room , to have speech with mo , to know that
I was free to work out -the scheme which
Buckingham had dUcloed < o mo. Kay , It wcs
not unlikely'tint ! hU search for Jonah Wall
would lead him to Ibo hostelry of the Merry
Mariners at Deal , And for my plan , too ,
which differed so llttlo , yet BO much , from
his , fort that also I must bo free. I roe to
my feet , delighted to find that I could stand
well , and lhat my pains grew no more severe
wllh movement.
"I nm ot your grace' * orders , " slid I. "May
I ride with you , air ? "
The king l-oke3 at me doubtfully ,
"I should 'be glad of your company , " Bald
the duke , "If your health allows. "
"Most fully , sir , " I answered , and turning
to Ihe king , I begged bis leave to depart. And
that leave I should , as I think , hove obtained
but for the fact that once again M. de Perren
court whispered to tbo king. The king rose
from hla seat , took M , do I'errencourl's' arm
and walked with him to where his grace
utood. I watched them till o little stifled
laugh oiught my attention. Madame's fare
was merry and her's the laugh. She saw my
look onher and laughed again , raiting her
finger to her lips In a swirl , stealthy motion.
She glanced arond apprehensively , Uut her
nctlon bed pas ed unnoticed. The duVo of
York eeemed sunk In a dull upathy. Clifford
and Arlington were busy In conversation.
What did she mean ? Did * he confess that I
holii Uiolr tccret And Imposed ellenco oh mo ]
by ri moro thaix royal command , by the bf-
hcaB of bright eyes and red lip * which dared
mo to betpjy their the
conflilonvc-T On mo
ment s Impu'so , \ bowed assent , Madame nol.
ded merrily nndwaved a his * wllh her dftlnty
hand , no word passe'l , but I felt thnt I , be
ing o gentleman , could toll no mm alive what
I suspected , aye , what I know , concerning
M. dc Perrencourt. Thus lightly are pledges
Riven when Indlpj ask thorn.
The duke ot .Momnouth started hack wilh ft
sudncn nngry molten. The kins smiled at
him , M. dc Perrencourt MA a hand decked
with rich rings on his lice cuff. Madame roae ,
laughing still , and Joined the three. I csnnot
tell what passed alas , that the matters of
highest Interest are always elusive but n
moment Inter Monmouth fell back wllh ns
sour a. look a I have ever tccn on a man's
face , bowed slightly olid nol over-courUOMsly ,
faced round nnd strode through the doorway ,
opening the door for himself. I heard mail-
nmo's gny laugh , ngaln the king
spoke , madame cried "Fio , " And hid her toco
with her hand , M. dc Pcrrcncourt advanced
toward me. The king caught his arm. "Pooh ,
ho knows already , " muttered. Pcrrencourt.
half under his brcnth , but ht | RIVO way , and
the kins came to mo first.
"Sir , " sild ho "the duke of Monmouth has
had the dutiful kindness to release his claim
on your present services , nnd to set you tree
to serve me. "
I bn\\cd very low , answering :
"Hls Rrace la bountiful of kindness to tno
nnd has given the greatest proof ot It In en
abling me to servo your mijestj'- "
"My pleasure Is , " pursued the klnpt. "that
you altach yourself to my frlond , M. do Per
rencourt here. < iml accompany him nnd hold
yourself at his dlspof.il until further com
mands from mo reach you. "
M , de Pcrrencourt stepped forward and ad
dressed me.
"In two hours' time , sir , " said < ie , "I beg
you to bo ready to accompany me. A ship
lies ycnder nt the pier , wnltliiK to cnrry his
excellency , M. Colbert do Crossy , nnd my
self .to Calais tonight on business ot moment.
Since the king slvea you 'to ' mo , 1 pray your
company. "
"Till then , Mr. Dale , adieu , " said the
kins. "Not a word of what has passed hero
tonight to any man or any woman. Bo In
readiness. You know enough , 1 think , to
tell you th.\t you receive a groit ilionor in
M. de Perrcncourt'a request. Your discretion
will show your worthiness. Kiss madatno's
hand ami leave us. "
They both smiled at mo , and I stood half
bowllJcred. "Go , " said M. do Perrencourt ,
with a laugh , clapping mo on the shoulder.
The two turned away. Madame held out lier
hand towards mo ; I bent and kissed It.
"Mr. Dale , " said she , "you have nil the
virtues. "
"Alas , 'madame ' , I fear you don't mean to
commend me. "
'Yes , for a rarity , at least. Hut you have
ono vice. "
"H e'-sll be mended If your royal highness
will tell Us name. "
"Nay , I shall Increase It 5 > y naming It.
But here 'It ' is ; your ejes are too .wide . open ,
Mr. Dale. "
"My mother , madame , used to accuse mo of
keeping them halt shul. "
"Your mother has not eeen you at court ,
sir. "
"True , midnme , nor hail my eyes beheld
your royal highness. "
She laughed , pleased with a compliment
which was well In the mode tben though
my sons may ridicule It ; but as she turned
away , she .added :
"I shall not bo with you tcolghl , and' M. de
Perrencourt hates u staring eye. "
I was warned , and I was grateful. But
thcro I stopped. Slnco heaven had given me
my eyes , ncthing on earth could prevent
their opening when mailer worth the looking
was presented. And perhaps ithey might bo
open , and yet seem shut to M. de Perren
court. W'ltb a final salulo to ( he exalled
company I went out ; as I went they resumed
their places at Uio table , M. de Pcrronoourt
saying. "Come , let us finish. I must be
away before dawn. "
