]That thrust went hone. All the
world knew the story of my ]'ate
Lord Carnal and the wanting woman
in the service of the French a'mbas'-
seder's wife. A :gasp of a'dm'ission
went np from the crowd. My lord^s
raspier 'was out, the hand 'that h'ol'd
it shaking with passion. S 'had 'any
blade in my !hand', rbu't the point was
upon the ground. "I1l'D lesson, you,
you madman!" he said thickly. .Sud-
' dealt', without any .warning, he thrust
at me; had he been less 'blind with
rage, the long .score which each was
to run up against the other might have
ended where it began. I 'swerved, and
the newt instant with my own point
sent his rapier whirl'in'g. It tfell at the
Governor's feet.
"Your lordship may pick it nip," I
remarked. "Your grasp is as firm as
your honor, my lord,
He 'glared at me, fdam u'p'on his
lips. lien were between us now,—the
Governor, tFrancisWest, Mester Pory,
Hamor, Wynne,—'and a. babel of ex-
cited vo'i'ces arose. The diversion I
had aimed to make had been made
with :a vengeance. West had; me by
the arm. "What a murrain is all this
coil about, R'alp'h Percy? I'f you hurt
hair of his head, you are last!"
The favorite broke from the Gov-
ernor's detaining hand and conciliat-
ory speech.
"Youil!1 ;fight sir? he cried lhearse-
ly.
"You know that I need not now,
my lord," I answered,
He stamped upon the ground with
rage and shame; .not true shame for
that foul thrust, but shame for the
sword upon the grass, for that which
could he read in men's eyes, strive
to hide it as they might, for the open
scorn upon one face. Then, ,during the
minute or more in whish we ''faced
each other in silence, he exerted
some effect that .will' of whic'h'he had
boasted. The scarlet faded from 'his•
face, his frame steadied, and he forc-
ed a •smile. Also he called to his aid
a certain 'soldierly, honest -seemingly
frankness of •speech and ,manner
which he could' assume at will.
"Your V'irginian sunshine •d,azz'le'th
the eyes, sir;" he said, "01 a verity
it made me think you on guard. For-
give ,me my miistake."
I bowed. "Your lordship will find
me at your service. I lodge .at the
minister's house, where your lord-
ship messenger will find me. I am I
going there now with my wife, who
hath ridden a score of miles this
morning and is weary. We give you j
good -day, my lord."
I bowed to 'h'im again and to the s
Goeern'or, then gave my hand to Mis-

which adid nblt break, the memory
'af 'her wrongs brought the 'erimslon

CHAPTER IX.
Two Drink 10'f OneCep.
Waiting for us in the doorway we
found' Master aie'nemy.Sparrow, reliev-
ed Of his battered arneor, his 'face
wreathed with hospitable 'smiles, and
a posy in 'his ;hand.
'When the Spaniard ,turned 'ou't to
be only the IKinig's ,minion 4 slipped as
way ° to see that all was tin order," he
said genially. "Here are roses, madam
that you are not to treat as you didthose 'others."
IS'he took them from him with a
smile, and we went into the ;house
to find three fair large rooms, some-
thing bare of furnishing, but clean
and sweet, with here andthere ,a bo'w
pot of 'ne'wl'y gathered flowers, a dish
Of wardens on the table, and a cool
air laden 'with the 'fragrance of the
pine blo'w'ing through the open wvn-
•cow.
"This is your demesne," q,uoth the
minister. 'd have worthy 'Masher
Buckeis own cham'ber upstairs. Ah,
good man, I wish he may quickly re-
cover his strength and tome back to
his own, and so relieve me of the bur-
den of all this luxury. I, Whomnat-
ure meant for an eremite, 'have mo
business inkings' c'ha'mbers' such asthese."
•'His devout fa'ith in his own distaste
far soft living andbis lo.ngim,gs after
a hermit's cell was an [edifyingspec-
tadle. rSo was the evident pride which
he took in his domain, the complais-
ance with which he pointed out theshady, .well -,stocked garden, and the
delight with which he 'produced and
set upon- the table a huge pasty and
a flagon of wine.
"It is a fast day with me," he said,
"1 may neibh,er eat 'nor drinkuntil
the sun goes down. The flesh is ag giant, ian
t, very 'full of pride and

want rest after her nide."
'He was gone, leaving us two alone
together. tSihe stood' opposite me, :be-
side the wind'ow, from 'which she had.
.not moved since 'entering the room.
The color was still in. her 'cheeks, the
flight in 'her eyes, and 'She still held
the roses with which Sparrow had
caped her +arms. I was moving to
the table.
"Wait!" she said, and I teemed to-
ward her again.
"Hove you no questions to ask ?"
she demanded,
I shook • my head. "Nione, 'madam."

will see thatlI :c'ould' not well refuse

"Master Pory's disinterestedness its
perfectly well known, I said, .without
a sm'ile. ""L1 he ever chooses the
stro'nge'r side, sure he has strong- rea-
sons for so doing. He will ,oblige me
by te'll'ing his principal that .I aver

heard that he is a good swordsman,
but I have some tittle iieputabian that
way myself. Ilf he ',prefers' pistol's or
daggers, sic• be it."
"L think we may assume ,the
swdnd," staidMaster Pory.
1I bbwe'd.
"You'll bring a friend?" he asked.
!I s'ho'd with my hand upon the
table and my eyes studying the .shad-
ow of the vines upon the floor, All
that she said was perfectly true, and
yet— I had 'a 'vision of a scarlet and
black figure and a 'dark and beautiful'
face. I too hated my Lord .Carnal.
"I do not despi'se you, madam," I.
said at last. "Whet was done two
weeks ago in the meadow yonder is
past recall Let it rest. What is mine
is yours: it's little beside my sword
and my name. The one is naturally
at my wife's service; for the other, I

she said,—"`the roses •'are too heavy.

her gently upon the fl'o'or. There was
