AH the household, from the baron and baroness down to the boy who twirled the spits in the kitchen, was gay, and yet, deep tinder my slowly brightening (ace and outward improvement, lay. a black devil eating at my heart. It was the devil of doubt, for Marion, whose eyes 1 had so often seen kind and soft, came to roe seldom now, and when she did it was always with my mother or Harry Never a word of my passionate note under thu verses think Harry noticed it. too. for he was kinder than ever to me Likewise Captain Castle tree who would come and read aloud from his books for hours at a tima One day I was sitting alone at my open window It was early evening. My mother had just left my side, and I was in a half dream. It was not a glad dream to cheer the heart, nor a mad dream of battle to set my pulses leap ing My gray meditations were broken by the clatter of hoofs in the courtyard below and 'the sound of greetings. I stood, as best I could for my weakness, and looked out A big roan horse waB there, and a gentleman had just dis mounted and was leaning over my mother's hand The whole family seem ©d to be at the dining hall door to greet Mm. Marlon and the captain greeted bim with the fervor of old friends. I heard my father say "Welcome to my house. Sir-Willis!" I sank back in my chair. "Whothe devil isthis*" I said. *'He bows like a sword scabbard and has a face like a bishop Presently Harry came upandtold me that the newcomer was Sir Willis How ard. who bad come on from England posthaste with brave news for the cap tain. "What is the news Y'' 1 asked huskily "That the estate in Devon will be Castletree's again on Christmas day, and that the real political offender has been discovered." e/ For some time I said nothing. The light had gone out at the window How young I was I Then, "Who is Sir Willis?" I asked, v: "An old friend of the Castletrees and the captain's godson/' he replied, "and a famous swordsman, too. I have heard." v\« All this, which should have cheered me vastly, only threw me into a deeper gloom. When Harry presented me to the newcomer, I looked at bim narrowly, measuring him as one fencer does an other before the saluting. He was not OYertall, but square shouldered and long armed. His face was long and grave, his eyes steely, his smile slow and sinister. He said very little, but bis shifting ejpft-saw everything. With the family he was quite a fa vorite at first, and, as the Castletrees were persuaded to stay in Wassmark nntil after Christmas, Sir Willis post poned his own departure. 1 think we all saw his reason for do ing so before three days bad past He walked, rode and sat on the south ter race with Mistress Marion, and she ac cepted all his attentions with gayety. His manner toward Harry was al ways considerate and pleasant, but to ward me that of a lord to a footman. One day, when he bad come up with the captain to borrow my spurs, he told my mother, who was reading aloud, how in England the younger sons were ft?*.', always packed off to'the ends of the earth to find their own fortunes. The captain flushed crimson, the baroness stared, but I only remembered it and made no sign. In a few days I could move about the house, and even take short walks on the terrace, At meals I threw off my lately acquired reserve and talked freely, lay ing myself open to his cutting sarcasm. I enjoyed this because it made my rival anything but lovely in the eyes of the family and lengthened my score against him Marion, however, seemed tofindhiB company as fascinating aB ever, and the rest had to put up with their guest Where was the open hearted boy now, once so fond of clapping hand to hilt and then begging forgiveness for (he same Even the Princess Barbara would now find me grown old enough, often thought of her. polished and learned viscount r- '"showed more feeling then 1, and was often barely polite to the Englishman, and Captain Castletree. in spite of biB return of fortune, looked anxious and surprised at my change of spirit. I was standing under the three shields one day looking down ffae avenue and thinking of that first time Marion bnd ,.r come tripping up toward the house of IsstenB, when a boy suddenly appeared with a bunch of late meadowroses. He belonged in the stables aud eyed me nervously before plucking up courage to say, "Your honor, the English lord and Mistress Castletree picked these for you." I took them from his hands, and the old hot blood would not be held down. With an oath 1 flung them across the hedge and, turning on my heel went into the ball There stood my mother, facing me with sad eyes. I cooled mightily at sight of her. "One more delicate little insult,"! said, and touched my rapier hilt signifi cantly. She followed me and threw her arms •bout my neck. "Dart, dear Dart, do not forget that he is our guest," she begged. "He will not always be," I answered. As the date which Sir Willis Howard set for his departure drew near I no ticed a decided change in both Marion's manner and his own. As he grew warm1 er, she became cooler. This touched him more deeply than he would have us sea He was to start for Blatenburg very early in the morning. On the preceding evening Mistress Castletree would not come down from her room. At 4 o'clock hia horse was at the door and the whole household, eveg the Ep.g usn maid, were there to bid him "god speed. I think my poor mother did this with pleasure, and waB much sweeter to him during the last ten seo onda of his visit than ever before. "I will see you to the road, sir." 1 said in his ear, and went down the av* enue at his stirrup.

I stood, as best I could for my weakness, and Iookctiout.' one, and yet, as I put uiy hand on the fellow's bridle when we renched the highway, I wondered if she were worth it all. We had both seen the kind lights in her eyes and had both watched them fading to indifference, as though cov ered by the ashes of some memory. But this did not soften me one jot. "What would you have of me?" he asked. "I would have you dismount, sir," I eaid quietly, "and give me eome sort of satisfaction for the insults I have re ceived from you in my father's house." 'What nonsense is this?" he cried, snarling down at me. For answer 1 struck him ^smartly pn the face with my bare hand. "A peasant's insuit, by heaven 1" He ripped out his long German sword and charged ma I leaped asida He whistled bis blade up for a cut It snapped mine, and I felt it jar against the guard, just where the smith bad made the deep notch. With a sudden fierce twist I broke the Damascus short off, and before he had realised defeat he was flat on his buck, unhorsed and unarmed. "Give me the hilt," 1 demanded, and be sullenly handed it over. "Now get into your saddle I" I cried. He mounted silently "By the way. baby face, here are some of your rhymes, which Mistress Castletree once gave ma And. flipping a bit of paper in my faca be spurred away. I lifted the paper. It was the copy of Hurry's verses which bud caused such a confusion of blushes that day on the south terrace. So she had given it to him vto the fool Englishman I No doubt they had laughed and snickered over it and he had made one of hiB favorite re marks about the position of the cadet My pride was cut to the quick. I did not think of my heart I wandered away through the white mist that lay on tho fields, cursing my self for not killing bim when I had the chance. But why blame and curse at the man altogether? Like a wounded wolf, my anger turned on the memory of Marion. The fire of love and respect which I had kept so high on the hearth of my heart in spite of all she had done now blew away—a handful of gray ashes. But it left the. mark where it had burned. I walked with bent head across the wet grass—my sword under my arm, the paper crushed in my fingers. Only a faint gray line along the eastern hills showed where the morning was lying behind the world when I turned back toward the bousa I met Harry at the avenue. "What in heaven's name have you been doing?" he gasped. "Bidding Sir Willis godspeed," I said. He touched my shoulder. "Have you killed him, Durt?" he asked. I shook my head. "No I let him go on his way, which iB straight to the devil," I answered. We went up to the open door, and Harry reassured the family with a smile Then tbey went back to their sleep, and 1 poured myself a glass of brandy and asked Harry to lend me some money "How much will you have, dear boy? 1 can give you anything under 200 crowns," he said. I sipped the liquor slowly, staring carefully around the old room. I was wondering if it would be very hard to live away from these familiar things. With a start I came back to my broth er's question. "Ten crowns will be enough," I an swered. He went out and returned almost im mediately with a leather bag of gold. He did not usk any questions, but followed me to the stables and helped me saddle Hugart. We embraced silently before 1 mount ed. "Be back for Christmas," he said, "and do not think that the love of a woman is sweeter because it is easily got" "What do you mean by that?" 1 whispered, bending from the saddle. "That the heart of a woman is not a book of ballads to be understood at one reading," he answered. I gathered up the reins and rode down the avenue with all the beeches sighing wonderment above my head. On the highroad I turned in my sad die and tossed a kiss and a prayer back to the great uneven pile that stood now against a lightening sky r-"v $ CHAPTER X. TEE FLIGHT TO THE MOUNTAINS. My ride into Blatenburg waB un eventful 1 verily believe that if saints and devils had been pluced alternately for the whole way at every milepost I would not have seen them. On reach ing tho city I made my way through the crowds to the inn we had staid at before and handed Hagartover toured heuded hostler 1 uoticed his head be cuuse Sir Willis was of the same color Without eating breakfast I went up the hill toward the royal palace and sent in my name to bis majesty He was in bis dreesing chamber—not being an early riser, except on hunting morningB—and told tha footman to «**.•» la. I bowed low, and ho returned my salute graciepHly After inquiring after the health of all connected with the house of Isstens he asked my reason for honoring him with visit "You did'not seem at all anxious to spend your time with me when yoti were here before, he said. "Your majesty, I have come to offer my sword, and if you have something out of the common that a humble gen tleman who is not afraid to fight and ride can do for you 1 beg the commis sion. I answered. "By heavens, sir, you have come in the nick of timel Here is a letter and a little package I would liko to have de livered at the court of Cloburg as soon as horses can v-•* you there "1 will start in half an hour.' I re plied. *0 mo 't'® H» ttnnded me the package and the lettei and a signet ring with the royal arms. "Show that whenever you want a change of horse," he said, "and here is a purse which will cover expenses. Good morning, sir!" I bowed myself out and returned to the inn, where I ate a scanty meal and then ordered my horse. I went out of the western gate of the city and started away on a good road of solid red ear(h. Fruit trees—pears, apples and plums— grew here in great quantities. The meadows were high with grass, and in fields the haymakers were at work. The people ran to the cottage win dows to see me dash past on my big black horsa At the end of 80 miles I drew rein at an inn door and. dismounting, gave di rections for the feeding and care of Hagart, until I should return for him. Then I showed the royal seal to the landlord and asked to have a good horse ready for me in 15 minutes. A jack of beer and a few slices of cold fowl fresh ened me wonderfully. With a long leg ged brown mare under me and the sun still high in the heavens I started off on my second stage of 30 miles. I will not describe the country through which I rode, for I took little heed of it Old memories filled my mind, which I could not dispeL It was dusk when I made my next stop, but in 20 minutes I was off again, with a round barreled black between my knees. Frogs fluted in the swamps, bats whirled and circled and dogs barked in the farmyards. Hard riding, above all things, is an exercise I can stand. The glory of the canter, the ex citement of the gallop—it waB all tonic to my moody spirits. I drew rein at a little wayside inn and struck sharply on the door with my sword. From the saddle I could lay my hand on the thatch of the root A stout old fellow A stout old fellow in a nightcap and little else answered my summons. in a nightcap and little elde answered my summons. He held a candle at a dangerous slant The tallow dripped over his band. "Have you a bed for me, my man?' I asked and showed him the signet He screwed up his eyes at ma "The very best, milord, and the sheets all put away with lavender." "Good! I will nee to the horse my self, "said I, "while you get the bed ding out of the lavender." He brought me a lantern and 1 led the nag away, and after some trouble yanked open the door of the stabla After fixing the good beast for the night I looked into the neighboring stall. There stood a little chestnut mare, the very model of grace, speed and intel ligenca "She belongs to a man of taste," 1 soliloquized and went back to the inn. After a mug of beer mine host led the way to a draughts chamber containing two beds. One was occupied. Against the post stood a sword in its scabbard, and articles of apparel in rich material lay on the floor. "You bave another guest?" I said, taking the candle from the old fellow's hand. "Yes, a gentleman of the court of Cloburg," he answered. It did not take me long to get out of my clothes and into the bed, which, in spite of discolored curtains, was spread with white, fragrant sheets. NPJAYPU)FI|«I I was awakened by some one moving about the room. Opening my eyes,! found it nearly daylight and my fellow traveler half dressed. He waB wonder fully small, with light hair and blue eyes, and as finely built for a man as the little mare for a saddle beast "Good morning, sir!" I said. He returned my salute with a bow and smila Just then the landlord thrust his bead around the door to tell us that the horses were at their corn and breakfast ready on the table. Upon finding while at our meal that the stranger was bound in the same di rection, I told him my name. "I think 1 heard of you cot long ago, "he said. I looked at him vastly puzzled. "And a ride you took with a lady.' he continued. "Ah, exactly said I. "Well, after the first ten miles it waB a pleasant rida His name was Tom Beverley. "My father is a clergyman in Eng land, rector of a parish in Devon," he said. This did not surprise me, as I had heard of the custom in England for priests to marry. But 1 asked him if he bad ever known Sir Willis Howard. The blood rose under his fair skin. "Yes, and fought with him," he an swered. Here was a bond of fellowship at the very beginning, so I shook him warmly by the hand. A boy led the horses up, and we swung to the saddles and started away. The road was good aud led us through a beautiful farming land My new frieud sang blithe Euglisd eongs and at last one of Marion's favorites. Straightway* my new found content ment was bitter us gull. I usked him why he had left bis na tive land and clioseu the court of Clo burg for his home.

That is why I did it." he nnwsered. Wo rode on until noou, when wo dismounted—I for a change of horses and wine, he for nothing but the wine. 'This is tlx1 only beast 1 will throw leg over, "be said. I was supplied with a huge white brute, who sbied at every hedgerow and galloped like a hound. They were always careful to give me big horses. Tho west was red and the east black when we entered the capital city of the Dukedom of Cloburg. We rode straight up to tho palace anddolivered our mes sages—his to the duka mine to the Princess Barbara. She looked at me with such laughter in her eyes that I was overcome with confusion, for all the maids of honor were in the room ogling me too. Then she took me aside and said that her own messenger would return with a letter to Wassuiark. for she wanted me in attendance for awhile, which waB very flattering. |nd I retreated as soon as possible. Beverley was waiting for mo in the passage and took me off to his own quarters, which were very richly hung in tapestry and ornamented with arms and rare pictures along the walla Upon the ringing of a bell up came two servants, bearing dishes of meats and game and bottles of wine. In .Cloburg I lived well enough, hav ing money from the king and rooms in the palace, but life went slow for my blood. The princess tried to make a courtier of me. but in a few days gave it up aBhopelesa But Hagart bad come back. One night, after a canter along the road that leads to the Naiad's lake, I entered my room and without remov ing my bootB flung myself down near the window This is how 1 came to no tice a piece of paper pinned to the cur tain. Upon taking it down. I found it a note from Beverley, requesting me to be at the Unicorn's Head at 8 o'clock. There was a queer brevity about it that smacked to me of adventure, so I re placed my hat and went out. My watch —a present from Beverley—marked it 20 minutes after ?, and as the tavern above named stands at tbe northern limit of the city I broke into a fast walk. My way took mo through crooked streets, between leaning bouses and noisy wineshops. The night was chill and foggy for tbe time of year At some of the doorways torches .and massive lamps glowed dimly I entered the Unicorn's Head, and upon making inquiries for the Cavalier Tom Beverley and hearing that he had not arrived 1 seated myself at an obscure table in the corner of the room.
