1 returned to my quarters In no small tur
moil , yet my head , though It still ached sorely
from the effect at taking that draught so
fortunately Cashed from my hand , nns clear
enough and I could put together all the
pieces of the puzzle save one. But that one
chanced to ba of some moment to me , for It
was myself. The business with the king
Which had brought M. do Porrcncourt so
stealthily to Dover was finished , or was oven
now being acconiollshcd ; hU presence anil
authority had reinforced madamo's por-
buaslons and the treaty was made , but In
these high affairs I had no place. If I would
find my work I must look elaowhero to the
etruEgle that had arisen between M. do Pev-
rcncourt and hU grace the duke of Monmouth ,
lu which the stakes were not wars , or re
ligions , and the quarrel ot simpler nature.
In tiat ) fight Louis ( for I did not trouble to
maintain his disguise In my thoughts ) bad
won , as he was certain to win , If ho put forth
his strength. My htart was sore for Mistress
Barbara. I knew that she was to bo the spall
of the French king's victory , nnd that the
loss to the beauty of his court caused by the
departure ofMllo. do CJuoroualllo was to find
compensation. Dut still , where was my part ?
I saw only one thing , that Louis had taken
ci HUIag ror mo , and might well choose me
as lite Instrument If an instrument were
needed , But for what and where it was
needed I could not conceive , since all Franco
was under his feet and a thousand men would
spring up to do his bidding nt a word aye ,
let the bidding ho what It might and the task
as disgraceful as you will. What were the
qualities in me or in my condition that dic
tated his choice baffled conjecture.
Suddenly came a low nock on the door. I
opened It and a nun slipped In quickly and
covertly. To my amazement I saw Carford.
Ho had kt ( much out of sight lately. I
supposed that ho bad discovered all ho wanted
from Monmouth's ready confidence and had
carried hie Ill-won gains to his paymaster.
( But supposing that ho would keep up the
comedy , I said sttflly :
"You come to mo from the duke of Monmouth -
mouth , my lord ? "
Ho was In co mood for pretense tonight.
Ho. wad la a suto ot great excitement , and ,
'
"I WON'T CO. " I HEARD HBIt UASP.
brushing eoltte all reserve , came at once
to the point.
"I em come , " ho said , "to speak a word
with you , n an hour you're to sail for
Franco ? "
"Yes , " eald I. "Those are the king's or
ders. "
"Out In an hour you could bo so far
from licrn that lie with , whom you go could
not. wait for your return. "
"Well , my lorMi ? "
"To bo brief , what's your price to fly
and not gall ? "
Wo were standing , facing one another , I
answered him slowly , trying to catch hla pur
pose.
"Why ire n tiling to "
you pay mo a price ?
eald -"For It's you who pays. "
"Yes , I pay. Como , man , you know why
you go and who goes with you ? "
"M. * do Porrencourt and M. Colbert go , "
aald li "Why I no I don't know. "
"Nor who cl e goes" ho atked , looking In
my eyes. I paused for a moment and then
answered :
"YM. she noes , "
"Acd jou know for what purpose ? "
"I can guess the purpooc. "
"Well , I want to go In your place. I
Imvo done with that fool Monmouth , and the
French king would suit mo well for a mas
ter. "
"Thro oak him to take you alto. "
"He will not. Ho'd rather take you. "
"Then ' " laid I
I'll go , ,
He drew a step nearer to mo. I watched
blra clo ely , for on my life T dJd not know
la what mood ho wti , and hla honor was ill
to lean on w o waving reed.
"What will you gain by going ? " bo asked.
"And If yeu fly , he will take me. Some
body bo iniwl take. "
"la not St. Colbert enough ? "
IIo looked at mo auspiciously , at though
bo thought that I assumed Ignorance.
"You know vorjr well that Colbert wouldn't
itnro uli purpoio. "
"Uy my faith , " I crlo < ) , "I don't know
ffttt bla purpose la. "
"You wMr It ? " bo fieked , by dlitriutind
muenieot.
"Most willingly , " I answered. "It la sim
ple truth. "
Ho gazed at mo ctlll as though but half
convinced.
"Then uJint'n your purpose In E'tas ? " ho
asked.
"I obey my orders. Yet I have a purpose ,
and ono I hart rather trust with myself -tann
with you , my lord. " I
"Pray , sir , wiiat Is It ? "
"To serve and guard the lady who goes
also. "
lAftcr a moment of seeming surprlso bo
broke Into a sneering laugh. v
"You go to guard bcr ? " ho said.
"Her nnd her honor , " I answered , steadily.
"And I do not dcslro to resign that task Into
your hands , my lord , "
"What will you do ? How will you serve
her ? " Cio asked.
A BUJdra suspicion ot him seized me. His
manner had changed n forced urabnlty.
When lie wis civil too was itreacherous.
"That's my secret , my lord , " I ai wored.
"I have preparations to make. I pray you
glvo mo leave. " I opened the dcor and held
It for him.
Ills rage had mastered him. Ho grow red
and tiio veins swelled on his forehead.
"By hrave.ii , you shan't go ! " ho cried ,
and clapped hla hand to hU sword. *
"Who tajs that Mr. Dilo shall not go ? "
iA man stood In the doorway , plainly < it-
tlrcd , wearing boots and a cloak 'that ' half
hid his fico. Yet I knew him anl Carford
knew film. Carford shrank back , I boned ,
nnd wo both bared our heads. M. do Per
rcncourt advanced Into the room , fixing his
eyes co uirroru.
"My lord , " ho said , "when I decline a
gentleman's services I am not to ho forced
Into accepting them , and when I say a gen
tleman thall go with me , ho goes. Have
you a quarrel with me on that account ? "
Carford found no words In which to answer
him , but his cjc" tcld Inat ho would have
glvtu the world to draw Us aword against
M. do Pcrrencourt , or. Indeed , against the
ixilr of us. A gesture of the newcomer's arm
mottcued him to 'tho ' door. But ho had ons
sentence more to hear before ho was suffered
to shrink away.
"Kings , my lord , " said M. do Purrencourt ,
"may bo compelled to set spies about the
persons of others. TCiey do not need them
about liaclr own. "
Oarford turned suddenly white aad bis
tooth set. I thought ho would fly at the man
who rc-bukcd him so scornfully , but such an
outbreak meant death ; ho controlled hlnwelf.
Ho passed out , and Louis , with a carolccs
laugh , seated himself on my bed. I stood
respectfully opposite to him.
'Make ' your piop.ual.Ions , " paid me. "In
half an hcur's time wo dcpsr : ' . "
I obeyed him , setting about the task of fill
ing my saddlebags with my few possessions.
Ho watched me In sllenco for awhile. At
last ho spoke.
"I hive chosen you to go with me , " ho
said , "because although you know a thing ,
jou don't apeak of It , and although you see a
thing , you can appear blind. "
I remembered that madame thought my
blindness deficient , but I received tie ! com
pliment In silence.
"Theco great qualities , " he pursued , "make
a man's fortune. You shall come with mo to
Paris. "
"To Paris. Bir ? "
"Yes. I'll find work for you there , nnd
those who do my work lack neither reward
nor honor. Come , elr , am I not as good a
king to servo as another ? "
"Your majesty Is the greatest prince In
Christendom , " said I. For such , indeed , all
the world held htm.
"Yet oven the greatest prlnco In Christen
dom fears some things , " said he , smiling.
"Surely , nothing , sir. "
"Why , yes. A woman's tongue , a woman's
tears , a woman's rage , a woman's jealousy ; I
say , Mr. Dale , a woman's Jealousy. "
It was well that my preparations were
done ; or they had never been done. I wns
staring at him now with my hands dropped
to my side.
"I am married , " ho pursued. "That Is lit
tle. " And ho shrugged hla ehoulders.
"Little enough at courts , In all conscience , "
thought I ; perhaps my fnco betrayed some
thing of the thought , for King Louis smiled.
"But I am more than a husband , " be pur
sued. "I am a lover , Mr. Dale. "
Not knowing what comment to make on
this , I made none. I had heard the talk
about his Infatuation , but it was not for mete
to mention the lady's name. Nor did the king
name her ; ho rose and approached mo , lookIng -
Ing full In my face.
"You are neither a husband nor a lover , "
bo asked.
"Neither , air. "
"You know Mistress Qulnton ? "
"Yes , sir , "
IIo was close to mo now , and ho whispered
to mo , as he had whispered to the king In the
council chamber.
"With my favor and such a lady for his
wife , a gentleman might climb high. "
I heard the words and I could not repress
a start. At last the puzzle was pierced ,
and my Part plain. I knew now the work
I was 'to ' do , the price of 'tho ' Toward I waste
to gain. Had Jio eald It a month before ,
when I was not yet trained to self-control
and concealment , king as ho was , -would
have drawn my sword on him. For good
or evil dissimulation la soon learned. With
a great effort I repressed my agitation and
hid my disgust. King Louis smiled at
me , deeming what no had suggested no la-
suit.
suit."Your
"Your wedding shall take place t Calais , "
ho said ; and I ( I 'wonder now to think ot
It ) ibcmod and smiled.
"Bo ready In a quarter of an hour , " eald
he , and loft me with a gracious smile.
I stood there where I was for the brat
part of the time atlll loft to inc. I saw
why Carford desired the mission on which
I went , why madame ibado imo practice the
closing of ray eyes , how my fortune waste
to come from the hand of King Louis. An
English .gentleman and his wife could travel ,
back with the king , the king would clvo
his favor to both. And the lady was Bar
bara Qulnton.
I turned at last And made my final prcp-
amtlai. It was simple ; I loaded my pistol
tel and hid It about mo , and I 'buckled on
myvord , seeing .that It moved easily in
the sheath. By fortune's will B lhad to re
deem the pledge -which I had given to my
lord ; hla daughter's honor now know no
safety but In my arms and wits. Alas ,
liow slender the chance was aud how great
the odds !
Then a sudden fear came upon roe. I
had lived of late In 01 court where honor
seemed doid , and women , no less than men ,
gave everything for wealth or place , I had
seen nothing of her ; no word had cc-ma
from her to me. She had scorned Monmouth -
mouth , but might &ho not bo won to emllo
upon M , do Porrcncourt ? I drove the
thought from me , but It came again nnd
again , shaming mo and yet fastening on
me. She went with M. do Perroncourt.
Did she go willingly
With that thought beating In my brain
I stepped forth to my adventure.
J CHAPTER XVI.
M. DC PEnUENCOUIVr WONDEUS.
As I walked brltkly from my quarters
down to the sea , M. do Porrencourt'0 last
whisper , "With my favor and such a lady
for his wife a gentleman might climb high , "
echoed In my oars so loudly and Insistently
as to smother all thought of what had passed
In the council chamber and to make of no
moment for me , tlio plots end plans alike ) of
kings , Catholics , and ranters. That nlgbt I
cared little though the king had signed away
the liberties of uur religion and his realm.
I spared no more than a pissing- wonder for
the attempt to which conscience run mad
had urged Phliieos Tale , nnd In which ho In
his turn had Involved my simpleton of a
servant.Let them all plot aud plan. The
Issue lay In Ood'a band , above my knowl
edge and beyond my power. My task was
enough aud more than enough for my weak
ness ; to It I Hurned with no fixed design and
no lively bcpewith a prayer for BUCCOW only
and a wolvd not to bo KingLoula'n cats-
paw. A month ago I might have marveled
that ho offered Buch a part to any gentle
man ; the Illusions of youth and Ignorance
wera melting fast , now that I , was left to
ask \\hr ho had eclcctcd ono so humble for
a place that great men held Inthose days
with open profit and without open shame ,
aye , and have htld since. For although
I have lived -to call myself a whig , I do not ,
hold that the devil left England for good and
all with the house of Stum.
Wo were on ( the quay now , and the little
ship lay ready to us. A very light brcczu
blew off thd Island , enough to carry us over
If It held , but promising a long pas gc ;
the weather was damp and misty. M. Col
bert bad shrugged his shoulders over the
prospect of a rog ; nis master would near erne
no < Ulay and the king had sent for Thomas
Lie , a famous pilot erf the Cluquc ports , to
go with us till the French coast should bo
sighted. The two kings were -walking up
and down together In cazor and engrossed
conversation. Looking about I pircclvcd the
figures of two women standing near the
edge of the water. I saw Colbert approach
them and enter into conversation ; soon hd
came to mo , and ( with th smoothest of
smiles bode mo charge myself with the care
of Mistress Qulnton.
"Madame , " said he , i"has ( sent a discreet
and trustworthy waiting woman with her ,
but a lady needs a squire , and wo are otlll
hampered by business. " With which ho
wont oft to Join his master , bestowing an
other significant smile on. me.
1 lost no time in approaching Barbara. The
woman with her was stout and short , having
a broad , hard face. She etood by her charge ,
square and Bturdy as a soldier on guard.
Barbara acknowledged my emulation stllll ) ' .
She was pale and seemed anxious , but in
no great distress or horror. But did she
know what was planned ! ( or her , or the
part I was to play ? The first words she
gpoko showed me that she knew nothing , for
when I began to feel my way , saying. "The
wind Ifl fair for us , " she started , crying : |
"For us ? " Why , are you coming with uo ? "
I glanced at the waiting woman who stood
stolidly by.
"She understands no Engl'sh ' , " said Bar
bara , catching my moaning. "You can speak
freely. Why are you coming ? "
"Nay , 'but why are you going ? "
She answered mo with a touch of .defianco
In her voice.
"Tho duchess of York Is to return with
madame oni a visit to the French court , and
I go to prepare for her coming. "
So this was the story by which they were
Inducing her to truat hereelf In their hands.
Doubtless they might have forced her , but
deceit furnished a better way. Yet agita
tion had1 mingled with defiance In her voice.
In an Instant she went on :
"You are coming In. truth , are you ? Don't
Jest with me. "
"Indeed. I'm coming , nvidame. I hope my
company Is to > our liking ? " ,
"But why , why ? "
M. do Perreacourt has one answer to
that question and I another. " .1
Her eyes questioned mo. but she dldi not
put her question Into words. With a. llttlo
elilvcr she said :
"I am glad to be quit of this place. "
"You're right iu that , " I answered ,
gravely.
Her check flushed and her eyes fell to the
ground.
"Yes , " she murmured.
"But Dover castle Is not the only place
where danger lies , " said I.
"Madamo baa sworn " she began * 1m-
ictuously.
"And M. de Porroncourt ? " I Interrupted.
"Ho ho gave his word to hla sister , " she
said in a very low voice. Then she stretched
ler hand out towardi me , whispering : "Simon ,
Simon. "
I Interpreted the appeal , although It wns
jut an inarticulate -witnessing to a fear
of dangers unknown. The woman/ had edged
a llttlo away , but still kept a careful watch.
: paid no heed to her , I must give ray wani
ng.
ng."My services are always at your disposal ,
Mistress -Barbara , " Bald I , "even without the
right to them that M. do Perrcncourt
lurposes to give you. "
"I don't understand. How can he why ,
you wouldn't enter my service ? "
She laughed a llttlo as she made this
suggestion , but there was an eagerness In
ler voice ; ray heart answered to It , for I
saw that she found comfort In the thought
of ray company.
"M. do 'Perrencourt ' , " . said I , "purposes
that I should enter your service , aud his
also. "
"Mlno and his ? " she murmured , puzzled
and alarmed ,
I did not know how to tell her , I was
ashamed. iBut the last moments fled , and
she must know bcforo wo are at sea.
"Yonder where we're going , " I said , "the
word ot M. do Pcrrencourt Is law and his
pleasure right. "
She took alarm and her voice trembled.
"IIo h"as promised madarno told mo , " she
stammered. "Ah , Simon , must I go ? Yet I
should bo worse here. "
"You must go. "What can wo do hero ? I
go willingly. "
"For what ? "
"To servo you If It bo In my power ? Will
you listen ? "
"Quick , quick. Toll rae ! "
"Of all that he swore bo will observe
nothing. ( Hush. don"t cry out. Nothing. "
I feared that she -wemld fall , for she
reeled where uhe stood , I dared not support
her.
her."If ho asks a strange thing , agree to It.
It's the only way. "
"What ? What will -ho ask ? "
"Ho will propose a husband to you. "
She tore at the lace wrapping about her
throat as though It were choking her ; her
eyes were fixed on mine. I answered her gaze
with a steady regard and her cheeks grew ret
with a hot blush.
"His motive you may guess , " said I
"There Is convenience In a husband. "
I hod put It at last plainly enough and
when I had said It I averted my eyes from
her.
her."I won't go , " I heard her gasp , "I'll throw
myself at the ktng'a feet. "
"Ho'll make a clever Jest on you , " ealfl I
bitterly.
"I'll Implore M. do Perrencourt "
"His answer will bo polite. "
For a while tliero was silence. Then she
rpoke again , In a low whisper ; her voice now
sounded hard and cold , and she stood rigid.
"Who Is the man ? " she asked. Then she
broke Into a sudden passion , and , forgetting
caution , seized me by the arm , whispering ;
"Have you your sword ? "
"Aye. It Us bore. "
" .Will you use It for ma ? "
"At your bidding. "
"Then use It on the body of tbo man. "
"I'm the man. " Mid I.
"You , filmon ? "
Now , what a poor thing Is this writing and
how small a fragment of truth oan It boldl
"You , Simon ! " The words are nothing , but
they came from her lips full charged with
wonder , most Incredulous , yet colored with
sudden hope of deliverance. She doubted , yet
she caught at the strange chance. Nay , there
was more still , but what I could not tell , for
her eyes lit up with a sudden sparkle , -which
ahonc a brief moment , and then -was screened
by drocvlng lids.
"That Is why I go , " said I. "With M. do
Pcrrencourt'g favor and such a lady for my
wife I might climb high. So whispered M , de
Pcrrencourt himself. "
"You ! " she murmured again , and again her
ehnnk wn red.
"Wo must not reach Calais , If wo can
cseapo by the way. Bo near mo always on
the ship ; fortune may give us a. chance.
And It wo coma to Calais bo near mo while
you can. "
"But If wo can't escape ? "
I wan puzzled by hor. It must bo that she
found In my coirpany now hope of escape.
Heneo ramo the light In her eyes and the
agitation which seemed to show excitement
rather than fear. But I had no answer to
her question , "If wo can't escape ? "
Had I been ready with fifty answers , tlmo
would have lacked for one. M. Colbert called
to me. The king was.embracing his guest for
the last time. The sails were srroJd. Thomas
Llo was at the holm. I hastened to obey M.
Colbert's summons. Ho pointed to the king ;
going forward , I knelt and kissed the hand ,
extended to mo. Then I rose and stood for
a moment , In case It should bo ( ho king's
pleasure to address me. M. do Perrcucourt
was by his side.
The king's fnco were a smile , and the emllo
broadened as ho spoke to mo.
"You'ro a willful man , Mr. Dale. " said ho.
"but fortune is more willful still. You would
not woo her ; therefore , womanlike , she loves
you. You were ( stubborn , but she Is resolute
WITH A CARELESS LAITGH LOUIS SAT DOWN ON MY BED.
to overcome your subbornness $ , but don't try
her too far. She atdnds waiting for you open ,
armed. Isn't It so , * my brother ? "
"Your majesty peaks _ no nioro than truth , "
said M. do PerrtMicourt.
"Will you accopt'hor embraces ? " asked the
klug. ' >
I bowed very.Uow and raised my head with
a cheerful and gay smile.
"Most willingly , " I answered.
"And what of reservations , Mr. Dale ? "
"May It please your majesty , they do not
hold across the water. "
"GooJ. My brother Is more fortunate than
I. God bo with you , Mr. Dale. "
At that I smiled again. And the king
smiles. My errand was a strange ono to earn
n beuedlctlon. "Bo off with you , " he said ,
with an Impatient laugh. "A man must pick
his words iu talking with you. " A gesture of
his hand dismissed me. I went on board and
watched him stand upon the quay ce Thomas
Llo steered us out ot the harbor and laid us
so as to catch the wind. As we moved the
king turned and began to mount the hill.
Wo moved , but slowly. For an hour wo
made way. AH this tlmo while I was alone
on deck , except for the crow and Thomas
Llo. The rest had gone below. I had of
fered to follow , but a gesture from M. Col
bert sent mo back. The sense of helpless
ness was on me. overwhelming and bitter.
When the tlmo came for my part I should
bo sent for ; until then none had need of
me. I could guess well enough what was
passing below , and I found no comfort In the
knowledge ot It. Up and down I walked
quickly , as a man torn and tormented with
thoughts that his steps , however hasty , can
not outstrip. The crew stared at me , the
pilot himself spared a glance ot amused won
der at the manwho strode to
and fro so restlessly. Once I paused
at the stern of the ship , where Lie's boat ,
towed behind us , cut through the water as a
diamond outs n piece of glass. For an Instant
I thought ot leaping In and making a bid
for liberty alone. The strange tone In whlcii
"You , Simon ! " had struck home to my iheart
forbade mo. But I was sick with the world ,
and turned from the boat to gaze over the
sea. There Is a power In tbo quiet water
by night. It draws a man with a promise
of pence hi the soft lap of forgctfulncss. So
strong la the allurment that , though I count
myself sane and of sound' ' mind , I do not
love to look too long oa the bosom of deep
waters when * ! io night Is full , for the doubt
cornea then whether to live Is eanlty and not
rather to die , and iiavo an end of the tossing
ot llfo and the unresting dissatisfaction of
our state. That night tno Impulse came on I
mo mightily , and I fought It , fore-Ing myself'
to look , refusing the weakness of fright from
the seductive slron. l'r I iwos fenced round
with troubles en'd of n sere iheart ; there
lay 'the ' open country end a heart at peace.
Suddenly I gave a low exclamation ; the
water which had fled from us as wemoved ,
seeralog gladi to raas us by and rush again
on Its race undisturbed , stood atlll. From
tto swell oiino quiet , out of the shimmer
a mirror disentangled Itself and lay there
on the eea , snKpth. and bright. But It grow
dull la an Instant ; I heard the sails flap ,
but saw Dberif rip more , A dense white
vapor Bottled 'aft js ) , the length of ray arm
bounded my slirut.iall movement ceased , and
wo lay on the ; waters , Inert and Idle. I
leaned besldo he.JJgunwulo , feeling the fog
moist , on my foce.jseelng in its ballllng folds
a typo of tlio-tullB that bound and fettered
mo. Now volcoa ijoso around , mo and again
fell ; the crowjn.iicqtloned , the captain urged ,
I beard Colbert's- voice as ho hurried oa
deck , The sufficient answer was all around
uswhere ; the.mjijt was there could bo no
wind ; In grumlilkia the voice * died away.
The rest of Wliat"pas ed seems even now a
strange dreamt dM oln hardly follow , whobo
Issue alone I know * , which I can recover only
dimly and vasnaly In my memory. I was
there In the sternJ leaning over , listening to
the soft soundsotftho sea as Thomas Lie's
boat rolled lazily tram side to sldo and the
water murmu d gently under the gentle
stroke. Then "eamo voices again Just by my
shoulder. I did not move. I knew tbo tones
that spoke , the persuasive , commanding tones ,
hard to resist , apt to comoel. Slowly I turned
myself around. Tbo speakers must bo within
eight or ten feet ot me , but I could not ueo
Uiem. Still they came nearer. Then I heard
the sound of a sob and at It sprang to rigidity ,
poised on ready feet , with ray hand on tbo
hilt of my sword.
"You'ro weary now , " said the smooth ,
strong voice. "Wo will talk again In tbo
morning. From my heart I grieve to bavo
distressed you. Come , we'll find the gentle
man whom you desire to speak wltb , and
I'll trouble you no more. Indeed , I count
myself fortunate In having asked my gold
brother for ono whoso company Is agreeable
to you. For your sake your friend shall be
mine. Come , I'll take you to him and then
leave you. "
Barbara's sobs ceased , I did not wonder
that bis persuasions won bcr to ropoao and
almost to trust , It seemed that the raUt
grew a llttlo less thick. I saw their figures.
Knowing that nt the mma moment I must
myself bo seen , I ftxiko on the Initnnt.
"I am hero at MIMrcss Qulnton's service. "
M , do Perrencourt , to call him still by his
chosen naino , came forward and groped his
way to my arm , whispering In French :
"All Is easy. Bo gentle wllh her , Why ,
she turns to you ot her own accord , All will
go smoothly. "
"You may bo sure ot It , sir , " I told. "Will
you leave her with mo ? "
"Yes , " ho answered. "I can truet you ,
can't I ? "
"I may bo trusted to death. " I answered ,
smiling behind the mist's kind screen ,
Barbara was by his side now ; with a bow
bo drew bnck. I traced him as ho went to
ward where Lie stood , anil I heard a murmur
of voleca as ho nnd the helmmn-m spoke to
ono another. Then I heard no more nnd lost
sight ot him In the thick , close darknoM. I
put out my hand and -felt for Barbara's ; It
came straight to ralno.
"You you'll stay with mo ? " she murmured.
"I'm frightened , Simon. "
As she spoke I felt on my check the cold
breath ot the wind. Turning my full faceI
felt It more. The breeze was rising , the
salto flapped again. Thomas Lie's boat buf
feted the waves with a quicker beat. When
I looked toward her I saw her face framed In
mist , palo and wet with tears , beseeching
me , There at that moment , born In danger
and nursed by her helplessness , there came
to mo a now feeling , that was yet an old one ,
now I knew that I would not leave her.
Nay , for an Instant I was tempted to abandon
nil effort and drift on to the French shore ,
looking tliero to play my own game , despite
of her and despite of King Louis himself.
But the risk was too desperate.
"No , I-won't leave you , " I 8ild In low tones ,
that trembled under the fresh burden which
they boro.
But yes , the wind rose , the mist began to
lift , tbo water was running lazily from under
out keel , the llttlo boat bobbed and danced
to a leisurely tuno.
"Tho wind serves , " cried Thomas Llo.
"Wo shall make land lu two hours , If It hold
as It blows now. "
The plan was In my head. It was such an
Impulse as , coming to a man , seems revela
tion , and forbldsl all questioning of Its
authority. I hold Barbara still by the hand ,
nnd drew her to me. There , leaning over the
gunwale , wo saw Thomas Llo's boat moving
after us. His sculls lay ready. I looked In
her eyes , and was answered with wonder ,
perplexity and dawning Intelligence.
"I daren't lot him carry you to Calais , "
whispered ; "wo should bo helpless there. "
"But you It's you. "
"As his tool and his fool , " I muttered
Low as I spoke , she heard me , and asked ,
despairingly : _ . .
* > Hut 111UI1 , O11I1UI1 { ! > I1U * . UUU tYU UU 4
"If I RO there , will you Jump Into ray arms.
The distance Is not far. "
"Into the boat ? Into your arms In the
boat ? "
"Yes. I can hold you. There's a chance
If wo go now , before the mist lifts more. "
"If wo'ro seen ? "
"Wo'ro no worse off. "
"Yes , I'll jump , Simon. "
\Vo were moving now , brlslely enough ,
though the wind came In fitful gusts and with
no steady blast , nnd the mist now lifted , now
again swathed us In close folds , I gripped
Barbara's hands , whispering , "Uo ready , " and
throwing ono leg over the side , followed with
the other and dropped gently Into Thomas
Llo's boat. It swayed under me , but it was
broad In the beam nnd rode high In the water ;
uo harm happened. Then I stood square In
the bows and whispered , "Now ! " For the
beating of my heart I scarcely heard my own
words , but I spoke louder than I knew. At
the same Instant Barbara sprang Into my
arms there was a rush of feet across the
deck , nn oath rang loud In French , and an
other flguro appeared on the gunwale , with
ono leg thrown over. Barbara was In my
arms. I felt her trembling body cling to
mine , but I disengaged her grasp quickly and
roughly for gentleness asks tlmo and tlmo
wo had none and laid her down in the boat.
Then I turned to the Dguro above me. A
momentary glance showed mo the face of
King Louis , I paid no moro heed , but drew
my Unlfo nnd flung myself on the rope that
bound the boat to the ship.
Then the breeze dropped and the fog fell
thick nnd enveloping. My knife waa on
the rope and I severed the strands with
desperate strength. Ono by ono I felt
them go. As the last weut I raised my
head. From the ship above Hashed the fire
of a pistol and a .ball . whistled 'by ' my car.
Wild -with excitement , I laughed derisively.
The last strand was gone. Slowly the ship
forged ahead , but .then 'the ' man on the gun
wale gathered .himself together and sprang
across the water ( between us. He came
full on the top of me , and wo fell together
on the floor of the boat. By the narrowest
chance < wo ejcaped foundering , but the
sturdy boat proved true. I clutched my
assailant with all my strength , pinning him
arm to arm. ibreast 'to breast , shoulder to
shoulder. Ills 'breath ' was hot on my facu
I gasped "Raw , , row ? " From the ship came
a sudden alarmed cry , "Tho boat , the boat. "
But already the ship grew dim and In
distinct.
"Row , row , " I muttered. Then I heard
the sculls sot In 'their ' holes , and with n
slow , faltering stroke the 'boat was guided
away from the ship , moving nearly at a right
angle 'to It. I put out all my strength.
I was by far a bigger man than 'the ' king ,
and I did not spare him. I hugged ihlm with
a bear'a hug , and his strength was squeezed
out of him. Now I was on top of him
and ho below. I twisted his pistol from
his hand ana flung It overboard. Tumul
tuous cries came from the blurred mass
that Tvas 'the ship , 'but ' the breeze had fallen ,
the fog was ithlck , they had no other boat.
The king lay still. "Give mo the sculls , "
I whispered. Barbara yielded them. Her
hands were cold as death when they en
countered mine. She scrambled Into the
stern. I dragged the king back ho was
like a. log now till ho lay with the middle
of his 'body ' under the scat on which I
was , his face looking up from beneath my
feet ! Then I fell 'to ' rowing , choosing no
course except that our way should bo from
'tho ' ship , and ready at any movement of
the still form ibclow mo 'to drop my sculls
and sot my pistol at his head. Yet till
that ne-cd came I 'bent ' lustily to my work ,
and when I looked over my shoulder the
ship wns not to be scon , but all round hung
the white vapor , the friendly accomplice of
my enterprise.

knew ithat I was his master In strength , nnd
that I stood .whero no motive of prudence
could reach and no fear restrain mo. If I
were caught the grave or a French prison
would ho my fate. To ot clear off he
might suppose that I could count even the
most august llfo in Christendom well taken.
Yet ho had leaped , and iiefore heaven I
feared that I had killed him. If H were
so I must sot Barbara In safety 'nnd then
follow him where ho was gone. There would
bo no place for mo among living men. and I
had .better chooao my own end than bo
hunted to death llko a mad dog. Theee
thoughts spun through my brain as my
arm tdrovo the tolades into * the water on an
aimless course through the mist , till the
mass of the ship utterly disappeared and
wo thrco were alone on the sea , Then the
fe-ar overcame me. I rested nn my oara and
leaning over to where Barbara eat in the
Btern , I shaped with awestruck lips the
question : "Is he dead ? My God , Is ho
dead ? "
