to us both, Still I would not turn
back. But how good fortune serves us
when -w least look for it! At the
eommandant's very door was Gabord.
I did not think to deceive him. It was
my purpose from the first to throw
myself upon his mercy. So there. that
moment, 1 thrust the order into his
hand. He read it, that moment, I

dangerous moment he had not heart
to drive me back.,. And that is all
in7AsstI°1117.avelthsabeldr,Lthis tale was broken
often by little questionings and ex-
clamations, and was not told in one
long narrative as I have written it
here. When she had done I sat silent
and overcome for a moment. There
was one thing now troubling me 110(0-
17, even in the painful joy of having
her here close by me. She had risked
all to save my life - reputation,
friends, even myself, the one solace
in her .possible misery. Was it not
my duty to agree to Doltaire's terms,
for her sake, if there was yet a
chance to do so? I had made a sol-
emn promise to Sir John Godric that
those letters, if they ever left lay
hands, should go to the great lady
Who had 'written them.; and -to save

lips that you are no spy, tell me so."
When 1 had said as she had: wish-
ed, assuring her she should know all,
carrying proofs away with her, and
that hidden evidence of whieh Del -
mire had spoken, she went on:
''You put me to the test.' said mom
sieur. 'Doing ene. it will be proof that
I shall do the other,' He fixed his
eyes upon me with such a look that
my whole nature shrank from hire. as
if the next instant his hateful hands
were to be placed on me. Oh, Robert,
I know how perilous was the part 1
rlayed, but 1 dared it for your sake.

dicl believe he would aehieve his
boast as to saving your life, and SO,
all yesterday and to -day. I bent,
waited with most anxious heart; but
not one word! Yet there was that in
all he eaid which made me sure he
meant to save you, and I believe he
will. Yet think: if anything httenell-
ed to him! You know what wild do-
ings go on at Bigot's chateau out at
Charlesbourg; or. again in the storm
of yesterday he may have been lost.
You See, (here are the hundred
chatters; so I determined not to trust
wholly to him, There was one other
way -to seek the Govereor myself,
open my heart to him, and beg ;or n

hands upon my shoulders end looked
me in the iiyes.
I did not answer yet, but took her
hands in mine, and shit' continued:

at the Court of France that, on in-
sufficient evidence, as you admit, an
English gentleman was hanged for a
spy? Would not the King say (for he
is a gentlinan), Why was not all this
shown me before the man's death? Is
it not a matter upon which a country
would feel as gentlemen feel?'
"I knew It the right thing to say
at the moment, and it seemed the
only way to aid you, though I intend-
ed, if the worst came to the worst, to
go myself to the Governor at the last
and plead for your life, at least for a
reprieve. But it had suddenly gashed
upon me that a reference to France

"Masterful as he is I felt that this
