tome." There was no sound in answer out across the river. My lord kept his
grip of the stones, daring tint to let
fall, which would :give wanting of his
escape, So he hung till the blood
crept out of his hands and they grew
numb, and each second he feared lest
he should give way and drop, •But af-
ter a time the Irian passed o1, seeing
nothings in 'that blackness, and scarce
were his footsteps faded when my
lord's fingers slipped. and dowat -he
fell with a great smack into the dirty
waters of the,ditch. (Bubbles of mud
and water were in his month when he
rose and struck forth tinder the draw-
bridge for the river. Bat now his
strange activities hoisted in hien, de-
v°nrin'g his inwards, and thus he
swans against the tile, breasting' the
savauge current. He came by St. Ka-
tharine's in half an horn', and then
rested upon the margin, dripping with
fret and mire. Then he resumed his
journey. this tine upon the land; and
so, passing by quiet by -ways, arrived
at his tavern very late.
&le that ad'nitted hint stared in
amazement to see -him, .but he paid
-no heed, and went to his room, where
he doffed his evil .raiment and set on
fresh clothe,.. He drank a glass of
neat 'brandy, and- immediately sot
forth again, going out by the ii mse
with that man gaping after hint, for
he was resolute to see the Lady Ka-
tharine'Roodhousc that night.
The hour was now after midnight,
and a raw wind was hlowine'; yet it
curbed not his sufficient ardors, and
he reached the house at one of the
clock. :It stood all 'black, save far a
single candle shining in a window nn
a higher story. It was so, he thoti ht.
that ht' had visited this lady upon 0
former occasion in her house by Ful-
ham. Not desiring that any should
ha re knowledge of him but those who
were necessary, he would not rap at
the door, hut, r1,nihing swiftly 'hy The
abutments, readied presently the win-
dow w'h'ich he sought. Once there, he
tapped gently on the pane,
This brought to the window the
mistress of the hour, as he thought,
who looked out with her eyes wide
open, staring into the windy night,
Then at the sight of a man she fell
away with a cry; but my lord drum-
med again upon the window gently.
\nii at that, though she could make
out nothing of his fare, it appears
she took heart and opened the ease-
ment, when my lord stepped through
;1111. conf ron ted her.
,She made an exclamation of wond-
er and delight to recognize. him.
"oh, my lord:" says she. 'what
nu ut, this? \\''hut Lias retched Son
o'n ,' that r"u'ftnenient?"
• "1".11Was your voice that called me
forth," said he, smiling on her;
"tin n is n, incarceration that can
endure against your ladyship."
-"Yon speak fair," .said she, hc'r face
'hilt with r,nnt"ntmenl.; "Yet yon d„
het jest with • me. 1 wrote to queer

icately full, clothed in a 'terry -color-

-yited him tenderly,

the •pe'reein'ed that she mistook what
Ile had ,come for,. and he knew .not in
what way to 'lead her. She turned a
little 'aside and sate drown, as if with
an impatience, - -
""Tis a late hour, my lord," says
she, in an ind'ifferen't voices "you ,have

'From what lay on the bed, and Rob-

threw the 'blanket on 11,01,
"Rest ye sound," he said, ;peaking
as if -'to himself; "for if all be trtle 'ye
shall rest no more to -morrow,"
This he said, 'because of the da;'
fixed for d013r lord's appearance.
Yet what lay there was - not my
$ort, as he supposed, but a feint of
the 'b'ed'clothes, so 'humped as to 'look
dike the 'figure of a man in that small
light. My lord was in the further
corner kif the room by the door, and
ere Robins had finished his 'ministra-
tions was past hint and out of the
doorway stealthily. When he 'h•ad de-
scended the stone steps half -way he
paused and listened to hear if Rdbins
raised an Mann; but be heard- the
door closed and locked, and he 'knew
that he was ,secure, He ran lightly
down the staircase, therefore, and
passing under a vau'Ited roof emerg-
ed upon 'the open night. He ,was bare-
headed, and in his own habiliments,
which would 'betray 'hint instantly if
be were seen. So, knowing the place
thoroughly, he made his way across
the court -'yard to along roost where
the warders set their heavy cloaks,
and gossiped aver the fire. -In the an-
teroam to 'this he found what he
wanted, and fitted over him the great -
cloak, while be clapped a yeoman's
;hat on this head, INo -sooner was this
done than .there was a -noise of talk-
ing, and it was plain that some of the
guard were approaching. 14y lord
snatched u,p a pike, 'being resolved
now upon any defence rather than he
taken, Yet a thought lflashing upon
him 'with that rare quickness habitual
to him, he turned from ,this design.
and, pulling the cloak about him close,
opened the door between -this ante-
room and the hall beyond. This was
frill of 'men-at-arms, .who were 'laugh-
ing together ,before the fire, yet my
lord- trusted rather to that careless as-
.em'bly than to one or two who night
spy him out by their particular atten-
tion. Besides, dor a prisoner that was
escaping to go through that crowded
hall would be incredible. Thus he
passed through with a strong gait,
anti strode down the chamber, •paying
no heed to any, hut muffled to the
eyes. and' none paying hien any 'heed;
and at the farther cud he issued once
more into 'the darkness,
So far he had gone to safety. but
the worst was yet to come. The walls
and gates of the castle were diligently
watched and guarded by many senti-
nels; and yet he I0-ist -break out ere
the morning dawned and his flight
was disetivered. 'Twa. that Space of
time that gave him prudence, lie
needed not to hurry, and 'he sate down
privily to consider what he should do.
His thoughts turned at 'once to the
water -gate, that is known as the
Traitor's Gate, •from which it was
used to carry the condemned to their
doom. But a little exploration showed
him that he could expect nothing
here—the bars of that gateway were
great, and so close that 'they would
admit none, lOutskle the gate he
could 'hear the (mire ,sucking in the
ditch, which led to- the 'river. This
was the only side of the Tower from
which there -was -a chance of egress,
and it 'now was manifest that if he
coned not escape through the (bars 'he
must from the battlements. 'Presently
he found a stair that led up, and,
seeking his opportunity when the
watch passed, the crept up without
noise till he ,came upon a sentinel.
Here he made a 'horrid pause, wond-
ering if Ire should throw this man in-
stantly over the wall; 'bu't by good
chance he ,perceived him to be silent,
and stealing closer saw that he was
asleep: Still. like a moose, 'he went
along that top until he came to a
point 'where the wall overlooked a
ditch of water, and nigh unto the
drawbridge. This, thinks he, is where
Ile :must attempt, and, 'letting himself
over, he hung by his fingers from the
embrasure. On this .moment there
nests have 'you?" •smelled trier ant, learning what the
"Mada'm," says he, softly and re -mirk, aper had Seen, and how he was
loafing, "there is on'e that ye ,recall to t4

me, long dead,"
"Who is :that?" said she, quickly,
ooking at him.
"One I 'knew in Paris," he answer-
ed her, "and she spoke with that voice
yap speak. I close my eyes and 'hear
her," ,
She was
thins a trdoment. "And
how many have you known My lord
one; dead?" said she, slowly, with
her eyes on the fire, "Sure, they have
passed away and left ye shill lament-
. Hew manyt '

"Madam, d shall leave some maybe
that think on ane with pity," said• he,
"and many that shrug the shoulder;

CrieS obit for me and'prays a little,"
Her face ,softened and sparkled,
'Aye," said she, "there will he one,"
He was ins the custody of her eyes
for a space, and then she Said, "Why
will you not gime up this untoward
quarrel .my lord? It vexes you 'to the
grave."
'it shall harass me beyond the
grave, ntacl'am, ere I may abandon it,"
said be, firmly,
\\'hat is it von have at stake?"
she asked,
"i have pot my honor on the toss •
of the dice," said be, ''and with that
my life,"
She sighed, "You Wi't'h lose both,"
she answered; "yet if you were con-
tent, the duke would forgive"
\Ty, lord smiled, "He would for-
give!" he repeated, "\\'hy, he is mag-
nani111011S; 11e would make a generous
prince."
"\ly lord, you are bitter," she said,
and he answered mulling save 10 lply.
"Yon would release ally lady Cher-
well?" site asked,
"I ant broken out of my lodging
for that," he answered,
"When will you end this content-
ion?" she asked, earnestly, "Will the
enlargement of her ladyship finish it?"
He hesitated, "I know not; 1 can-
not foretell," he replied, shortly, '
":\h!" she cried ou't, in triumph.
"'tis got for her that you fight them?
Tis for something further,"
"Madam,' said he, speaking very
coldly, "she shall bear me sons."
She bit her lip, a color slip -ping to
her -face, and she considered -'him.
softly. -
"Nay, brit that is ,teeditel," she said,
next, "it is her task: Yet the whole of

beautiful?"
"She is called so," he answered.
She hath -•tine eyes. 1 think she hath
dile proportions to her 'body."
The lady Katharine'S face lit again.
and her gaze fell to her own just
figure.
"If she be beautiful" she said,
"this is no news, It is not rare. My
lord, she is not the only woman. so
rxlkd, lly lord," she pleaded, .softly,
"!s there no other that may claim
title?"
He met her enticing. witchfnl eves.
"-Prue, there is another," .said he,
gently. He had ,om5 excitement mov-
ing hire, but he was very deliberate,
"\ladant s, kind," he said, "von have
some neves for nre," for he was still
greedily- devoured of his passion
against the duke:.
"11S true, said she, thinking. "I •
bane some news. But why should 1
-play cut's -paw in your service, nn
lord?"
"Ye play a very peasant. part of
friend," be said, softly.
She took :r,wn her bosom alnece o`
parchment. "]t has been canceit'ed
there and borne in pain for you, my.
lord," she murmured, He put out a
.'and to take it. "Shall 1 give you that
whish will tell you where my lady i.s
held'" she whispered.
"Give it to rte,", says he, eagerly.
11 'r breath came quicker, and the
tent of lel' presence was in the
room.
"Nay, but, toy lord, you will be hong
153.'' .he murmured, -
"1 will haste bark," said he,
"Nay. rather, hasten not to go," ,he
pleaded,
He mak hack his lulnrl and.- sate
down, r'galyding, her.
"I will stay." said he, softly, "to
hear Ihee sing, 1 pray you pluck for
me the lute, madam,"
"1 will compel you with these
strings," she murmured, and 'laughed
softly. "1 will charm ye out of that
most hard heart"; and taking ftp the
instrunimn1, she set her delicate 'fing-
ers to it.
CITAPThdt S'v4
My lord took 'leis demo -titre for the
West 05x4 ntonn'elg 5ery early, ,leav-
ing word for such of his 'band 0,5 'he
desired whither he was gone. 'Twas
now• high spring, and ,the 'fields were
s'park'ling ,with daisies; and in the
woods the bracken Was rising from
the' i,i'pde earth like a clinched hand.
'Ra'vel (poor soul!) had haunted the
precincts of his 'master's prison like a
troubled spirit that may not rest,
drinking and gaming and bragging in
the purlieus with any wench or rod -i
fler, FTe was of a most abominable
'had life, but had a tongue like a
a h'oun'd to liek his master'shand:
Cherwell was scarce free of
the Tower three hours ere Ravel
wa they rode together a4 dawn for
Taunton, There was need for haste,
for the news of 'that escape must be
presently spread about, and any lord
would be sought for.' Yet by the
hour that his flight was known, he
and (Ravel were many leagues upon
n
the way, and nigh to (Hampton Court, -
At tite speed with which they travel-
led there was no chance to overtake
these eiders, even if it had been
known whither they went; and thus
My lard journeyedlike a tempest
through that blossoming country into
Taunton.
,Dose in 'Taunton, he sought West -

times been in correspondence; ' also

from town recently on a mission,
These were both amazed to see hien
and declared that the blow 855 110w

'l'here 0505 one thing before all
t511kl1 filly lord had not forgot. :He had
with himi a scrap of paper upon which
some wards were written, .which were
but two—that is to say, "Barrs" and
"Sonerseteiuire," What he does first,
then, after these exchanges, is to ask
of We -shoat -aft what Barrs might be.
"Why," says \i'esbn'tacatt, -"tis a
hoose in the trills, and none so far
from Durcombe, my lord, where your
lordship was," •
`"Tis Sir Mordaunt.:Pringle's," says
be, "at 1ilppis'11 young gentleman what

"There shall be some reason to con-
sider of him presently," says my lord,
with a laugh. "f remember him now.

he went in the hope of better :speed.
but arrived late at the 'house owing to
his mistaken directions, He was am-
azed to see how huge h castle this
was, spreading over a height, and
c"111l11anding with its eyes the park
and gardens. Yet, ind eed. it was
wrong'l'y named, being called after an
older fortalice, but itself a house,
.without plan or order, ,hxtilded in the
time of i'iing Harry. The hour was by
this time on desk. and the fine winds
,d spring acrontpanied hint on - his
way through the demesne, crying
briskly in itis ears and sharpening his
senses. He ranee pint in the falling
twilight before the castle, .and de-
manded admittance, asking for Sir
1\1ot-daunt, The man begged of hum
who he was, and says my lord:
"I ant with a particular mission
enough that you! shall Say I am
one having business with the duke!'.
This .seemed to content the fellow,
who returned soon, to conduct my
lord to his master, -Cherwell dict note
