"Olt!" cried Trayle. lifting his eye- brows, "oh, faith, your lord.s'hip's lady. Confusion! I vow I apologize. Lord, be' ye 'lost my lady to Sir Mor - daunt here?" and he giiggled out a tiny laugh in his most elegant man- ner. My lord took a .step •towards him. and laid a finger on 'his coat, while Trayle 'looked up indifferent. "Hark ye, Mr. Trayle," says he, softly, "you were among those that ,drew a warning from me some months back. and that not so far dis- 'tant front this house" said he, "It needs .that I repeat it, ,promising you your reward: for I cannot answer what shall not fall down in that ruin of 'his highness." ""His highness!" saki Trayle, brut- ally. "Oh, is't his highness and my lady Cherwell?" My lord drew back and. set a hand ,on his sword, his eyes blazing, so that Pringle called out in an agony— "Harry, Harry!" and ,cried to hint to remember Burford Bridge. •B•trt Trayle, paying no attention to this remonstrance, addressed my lord d a a'n o , t "Come, mylord" said he, g, "put up that weapon yet awhile. I mill admit that there is some color for your anger; yet consider this, that you are .but an 'interloper, and have little j'u'stice in your cause." 'What .means this?" asked Cher- well, in astonishment. 'Why, you thrust yourself into a game in which there was no room for you, Let me speak !frankly. What scruple brought you to a barter about any girl's body? You had no right in that which affected yoti not. Faith, my lord, if the life of this world were conducted upon such rules there would be no living." "S a,m master of that which affects me, and my will is law unto thyself," said Cherwell simply. "And that I will not deny;' answ'- ered Traele, pleasantly. "But not to others. And you shall also take with that the charges and obligations of your claim.
