leaned my hand u'p'on the table,
and looked ,from her to ,Dioconr
1 was sent by the ,Governor to quell
a disturbance amongst the nearest In-
dians. The woods today have been full
of danger. 'Moreover, the plan !that we
Made yesterday was overheard by the
Italian. When I had to go this 'morn-
fng without seeing you, 1 reit you
word where S had gone and why, and
also my 'commands that you should
not ,stir outside the garden. Were you
not told this, madam?"
"No!" she .cried.
11 looked at Di•ccon. "I told madam
that yon were called away on busi-
ness," Ise said sullenly. "I told filer
that you were sorry you mould not go
with her to the woods."
"You told her nothing more?"
"No
"May I ask why?"
He threw hack his 'head. "I did not
believe the Paspaheghs would trouble
her," he answered, with hardihood,
'and you had n't seen .fit, sir, to tell
Ilse of the other danger. Madam want-
ed to go, and I though it a pity that
she should lose her pleasure for no-
thing."
I had been hunting the day ,before
and my whip yet lay upon the table.
"I have known you for a hardy ro-
gue," I said, with my hand upon it;
"now I know you for a faithless one
as well. 'If II gave you •credit for all the
vices of the soldier, 'I gave you credit
also for his virtues. 1 was the more
deceived. The disobedient servant I
might pardon, but the soldier who is
faithless to his trust"—
II raised . the whip and brought it
down again and again across his.
shoulders. He stood 'without a word,
his face dark red and his hands
clenched at his sides, lllor a minute or
more there was no sound in the room
save the sound of the !blowis; then my
wife suddenly cried out: "It is en-
ough! You have beaten him enough!
Let :him go, •sir!"
I 'threw down the whip. '`Begone,
sirrah!" 'I •ordered. "And keep out of
my sight to -marrow -l"
With his face, still dark red and
with a pulse 'beating lfgfiercely in Isis
cheek, he moved slowly toward the
door, turned when he had reached
it and saluted, then 'went out and
closed it after him.
"Now, he too will be your enemy,"
said .Mistress Percy, "and all through
me, I have brought you many enemies
have'I not? Perhaps you count me
amongst them? ;I should not wonder
if you did. Do you not wish me gone
from Virginia?"
"So I were with you, madam," I
said bluntly, and went to call the min-
ister down to supper,
CHA'P'TER XVI
The next day, Governor and iCoun-
cillo'rs sat to receive presents from the
-r'aslpaheglrs and to listen to long and
affectionate messages from 'Opechan-
can'ough, who, like the player queen,
did protest too much. The Council
met ,at Yeardley's house, and I ,was
called before it to make my report of
the expedition of the day before. It
was late afternoon when.. the'' Governor
dismissed us, and I oafund myself
leaving the •house in company with
Master Pory,
"I .am 'bound for my lord's," said
that, worthy as we neared the ,guest
house. "My lord hath Xeres wine that
is the very' original nectar of the gods,
and he drinks it from goblets worth a
king's ransom. We have heard a deal
to -day \'lout 'burying hatchets: bury
thine forv`t'he'n'on'ce, Ralph' Percy, and
come driree with as."
"Not 'I; . said. "I would sooner
drink with—Sorrie' one else."
He laughed.' 'here's my lord him-
self shall peraude you."

clasp. "I ama soldier with an •irnag-

'When lI had drunken, I think,"
replied my 'lord. "The wine would

sware Rene, the !Floren'tine, has fing-
ered .many ,such a . go'b'let 'before it
went to whom Catherine de' 'Medici
delighted to 'honor.
"She had the whitest 'hands," maun-
dered the Secretary. 'I kissed them
once before she died, in Blois, when I
was young. :'Rene was one of your
slow poisoners. (Smell a rose, draw
on a pair of perfumed gloves, - drink
from a certain cup, and you rangyour
own knell, though your bier might
not receive you for many and many a
day,—not till the .rose was dust, the
gloves lost, the cup forgotten."
"'There's a 'fashion I have seen fol-
lowed abroad, that II like," I said.
"Host and guest fill to each other,
,then exchange tankards. You are my
host to -day, my lord, and I am "yvacr
guest. T will 'drink to you, niy lord,
from your silver goblet"
!With as frank a manner as his own
of a while before, I pushed the green
and gold glass over to him, and held
out my hand for the silver goblet.
That a man may smile and smile and
be a villain is no new doctrine. My
lord's laugh and gesture :of courtesy
were as free and ready as if the pois-
oned splendor he drew toward him
had been as innocent as a pearl with-
in the shell. 11 teak the silver cuo.

King," I said, and drained it to .the
bottom. "Your lordshipdoes not
drink. 'Tis a toast no man •refuses.".
He raised the glass to 'his lips, but
set it clown before its rim had touch-
ed them. "I have a 'headache," he
declared. "I will not drink to -day."
'Master 'P,ory pulled the flagon tow-
ard 'him, tilted it, and ;found it empty.
Tai's rueful face made me laugh. My
lord laughed 'too, -somewhat 'loud9y,

died into 'unintelligible •mutteri.ngs,
and his gray unreverend ;headsank
upon the table.
R rose, leading him to his drunken
slumbers, and, 'bowing to 'my lord,
took my leave. My 'lord followed me
down to the public room below. A
party of upriver planters 'had been
drinking, and a bit of chalk lay upon
a 'settle 'behind the door upon which
the lan'd'lord had mlarked their 'score.
I passed 'it; then turned back and
picked it up. "How long a line shall
I draw, my lard?" I asked with a
smile.
"H'dw''does the length: of the door
strike you?" he answered.
R drew the chalk from top to bot-
tom elf the wood. °A heavy score
makes a 'heavy reckoning, my lord,"
I said, and, leaving the mark upon
the door, I bowed "again andwent
into the 'street,
The sun' was sinking when a reach-
ed the minister's .house, and 'going
nto the great room drew a stool to.
the table and sat down to think. Mis-
tress Percy was in-her'own •chamber:
'n the room overhead the minister
paced up and down, humming .a
psalm, 'A 'fire was burning briskly
np.on the .hearth, and the red li'gh't
house wine had been set forth to re-
vive the jaded C16uneil, and he was
already ;half .seas over. "Tarry .with us,
captain!" 'he 'cried. "Good wine's good
wine, no matter who pours it? 'S bud!
in my yqung days men called a truce
and forgot they ' were ]foes .when the
'bottle went round!"
"If Captain Percy ,will Stay," quoth
my lord, "I will give him 'welcome
and good wine. As blaster Pory says,
men cannot be always 'fighting. A
breathing spell 'today ,givies to -mor-
row's struggle new zest."
He spoke !frankly, with open face
and candid eyes. 1 was molt fooled. If
yesterday he would have slain me only
in fair fight, it was no't so today. Un-
der the lace that 'fell over Ih'is wrist
was a red cirque, Ithe :mark of the
thong with which 'I had bound him.
As if he had told me, 3 knew that he
had thrown his scruples to 'the winds
and that he cared not what foul play
he used to sweep me from Isis .path.
My spirit and my wit wase 'to sweet
the danger, Of a sudden I resolved to
accept 'the invitation.
"So be it," I said, with a laugh and
a shrug of my shouldens. "A cup of
wine is no great matter, I'll take it at
your hands, my lord, .and drink to our
better acquaintance."
IW'e all three went up into my lord's
room. Then 'King had fitted him out
'bravely for the Virginia 'voyage, and
the riches that decked the state .cabin
aboard the !Santa Teresa now served
to transform the .bare room in the
guest house at Jamestown into a
corner of Whitehall. The walls were
hung with arras, there was a noble
carpet 'beneath as well as upon the
table, and against the wall stood
richly carved trunks. On .the table, be-
side a bowl of late flowers were a
great silver flagon and a number of
goblets, some of chased silver and
some of colored .glass, strangely
shaped and 'fragile as an eggshell. The
late ,sun now shining in an open win-
dow made the glass to glow like pre-
cious stones,
My lord rang a little silver 'bell, and
a door ,behind us was opened. "Wine,
'Giles!" cried my lord in a raised
voice. "Wine for Master rPary, 'Cap-
fain Percy, and myself! And Giles, my
two choice goblets."
IGiles, whom I had .never seen be-
fore, advanced to the table, took the
flagon, and went toward the door,'
which he had shut behind ,him. 'I ne-
gligently ;turned in my seat, and so

The wine was brau'ght, and •with it

a man of taste, will note the 'beauty
of the graven maenads 'upon this side,
and of the Bacchus and Ariadne upon

than 'Benvenuto Cellini. :I pour for

the ruby wine and set it 'before the
Secretary, who eyed it with all the
passion of a lover, and waited not
for us, but raised it •to this lips atonce.

wine into the green and gold and

"Drink. gentlemen," the said.

upon it, idly at (first, 'then closely •en-

there was no noise now behind me.

He came slowly forward to the
.table, and stood 'beside it with hang-
ing head. 'I tore the leaf from the
book and pushed it over to him
"Take it," I ordered.
"To the commander?" he asked. "I
'am to take it to the commander?"
I siho'ok my head. 'Read it"
He stared at it vacantly, turning
it now this way, now that.
"Did you forget how to read when
you forgot all else?" g said sternly.
He read, and the color rushed into
his 'face,
"It is your freedom," 'I said. "You
are no longer man of mine. 'Begone

He crumpled the paper in his hand
"I was mad," he muttered,
"I could almost believe it," 'I re-
plied. "Begone'!"
After a mdmen't he went. Sitting
still in my place, I heard 'him heav-
ily and slowly leave the room, de.
scend the step at the door, and go
out into the night.
A door opened, and Mistress Jo-
celyn Percy came into the great room,
like a sunbeam strayed back to
earth. Her skirt was of flowered sat-
in, her bodice of rich t'a•ge'ta; 'b'et'ween
the gossamer walls of her French
ruff rose ,the whitest neck to meet
the fairest face. Upon her dark hair
sat, as lightly as a kiss, a little pearl -
bordered cap. A color was. in 'her
cheeks and a. laugh on her lips.
The rosy dight of the burning pile
caressed her, itlolw dwelling on the
rich dress, now on the gold chain a-
round the slender waist, now on
rounded 'arias, now on the white
forehead below the pearls. Well, she
was a fair lady for a man to lay down
his life for.

cried, "Where were you, sir? Madam

eyes. "N:o," she repeated, "'such an
one needs not silk doublet, nor, court

with one hand upon the mantels'helf,:
looking down into the ruddy hollows.
'Presently she stooped, and gathered
up something from the hearth, "You

IThe Governor had brought withi
hint from London, the year before,'
a sot of boxwood }bowls, and had
'made, between his house and the
fort, a noble green.' The ,generality
must still use for the game that por-
tion of the street that was not tobatc
co -p'l'anted; but the 'qu'ality flocked
to the Governor's green, and here,
one holiday afternoon, a fortnight' or
more from the day in which I had.
,drunk to the King from 'my lord's
silver goblet, was gathered a . very
great company. The , !Gov'ernor's.
'm'a'tch was toward,—'ten. Men to a
side, a hogshead ` of sweet -scented to
the 'victorious ten, and a keg of can-
ary to the man whose 'bawl s'h'ould'

The season had been one of, un-
usual mildness, and the sunshine was
still +warm and bright, gilding the
velvet of the green, and 'malting the
red and yellow leaves swept into 'the
trenchto glow like a ribbon of flme.
The sky was blue, the water (bluer
still, the leaves bright -colored, the
w'ind blowing; only the enshrouding
rfores!t, wrapped in haze, seemed as
dim, unreal, and • far away as a last
year's dream.
1IIhe Governor's gilt armchair had
been 'brought from the church, and
''put for him upon the bank of turf
,at the upper end of the green. By Isis
',side sat my Lady Temlperanrc'e, while
the gayly dressed dames and the men
'who 'were to play and to wa'tc'h were
!ac'co'mmodated with stools and settles
or with seats on the green grass. All
were dressed in holiday clothes, all
',tongues spoke, all eyes laughed; you
,might have thought there was not a
' 'heavy heart amongst them. Rolfe
was there, gravely courteous, quiet
and ready; and by his side, in otter -
skin mantle beaded d'
d moccasins, and
.feathered headdress, the Indian chief,
his brother-in-0'aw, the bravest,
comeliest, and 'manliest savage with
whom I have ever ,dealt. There, to'o,
