"My dear Sir Besil, you have no reason whatever to regret your ig- norance with regard to stay. Ho was one of those who lived on the people and misled them—incited thein to riot and rebellion. Ito never did them tiny good; and if my memory serves ire rightly, he was once im- prisoned for treason." "Rather a stormy career," said Sir Ilasil. "He wroto one or two good things in their way," said the duke, "but based on a wrong principle. The best rpamphlet was called 'An Appeal to he I'eople, by Otto who Serves 'Them.' It nmado some little sensa- tion at the time. As you seem in- tertstecl, I will make (come inquiries and tell you the result." Sir Vasil dreamed of Ilettie all that night—a fact which he explained to himself by saying that he thought a good deal about her singing. When he woke free: his sleep, ho was mur- muring to hhnseit the+ name of "Ilet tie Bay." 'there was a strange charm in it for him.

What if ho should ace tho beautiful singer, or if, froth one of those flow- er -wreathed windows, he should hear her voice? After walking so far his courage }uta failed hire; ho passed through the lane, and did not even look at the cottage he had come to see. Ile felt ashamed of himself, and went back again—the lane was a long one. %%hen he returned ho found that an elderly man was standing watching the passago of a ship at sea. The scene was so beautiful that he was charmed with it—the blue waters, tho white -sailed ship, the grassy hill, the peaceful green lane, the picturesque, (lower -hidden cot- tage. The man stood looking over a low ivy -hidden wall. Sonro in- stinct. told hien that this was Mar- tin Ray. "Phis is n lovely scene, sir," Sir Basil remarked, as ho paused in front of the old man. "It is well enough." ho Paid. And then Sir Basil was slightly disconcerted. Ho hardly knew what next to say. Ho stood and looked first at the blue rippling waters, and then at the stern, worn. haggard man. It was better perhaps to be frank. "I am looking," ho said quietly, "for the house of Martin stay. Can you tell me if this bo it?" "I ant Martin Hay," answered the other, briefly. And again Sir Basil was nonlluss- ed. The man raised himself frotn his leaning attitude, and looked at the han(fsonme, dark face before him. "Von wonted to see my house and mei---why?" he asked. And then Sir 13asil'9 sen:o of good breeding came to his aid. "My treason is very simple," re- plied Sir Basil, raising his fiat. "I heard that you were living here, anal I wished to see ono who rightly or wrongly, has been a leader among the people." "Are you of my way of thinking?" asked Martin abruptly.
