CIHI.aP'I'IEIR XXVIII, In Which I !Find ian (Advocate !She came slowly nearer the ring of now ,very 'quiet and attentive faces 'un- til she stood beside me, but she nei- ther looked at me nor spoke to me, She was thinner and there were heavy shadows beneath her •eq:es, but she was beautlfna. "I stand before :gentlemen to whom perhaps I am not utterly unknown," She said. "Some here, perchance have been to court, and have seen .me there, Master Sandys, once, before the Queen died, you •came to Greenwich to kiss her'Majesty's hands; and while you waited in her antechamber you saw a young maid of honer—scarce •more Than a child—curled in a win- dow seat with a'book. You sat 'beside her and told her wonderful tales of sunny lands and gods and nymphs. I was that maid olf honor. Master'Clay- borne, once, hawking near Windsor, ,I dropped my glove. There were a great many out of their saddles before it touched the ground, .but a gentle- man, not of our' party, who had drawn his horse to one side to let us pass, was quicker than they all,' Did you not think yourself well paid, sir, when you kissed the hand to which you restored the glove? All there, tI think, may have heard my •name. tI'f any hath heard aught that ever I did in all my life to tarnish it, I •pray 'hien to speak now and shame me before you all!" Clayborne started lap."'I remember that day at 'Windsor, lady!" he cried. 'The man of whom ,I afterward asked your name was a most libertine cour- tier, and he raised 'his hat when he spoke of you, calling you a lily which the mire of the court could not 'b.e- smirch, I will believe all .good, but no harm of you, lady!" iHe sat down, and Master !Sandys said gravely: "(Men need not be cour- tiers to have known of a lady of great wealth and high birth, a ward of the King's, and bath beautiful and pure. I nor no man else, I think, ever heard aught of the 'Lady Jocelyn Leigh but what became a 'daughter of her line." A murmur of assent went round the circle. The Governor, leaning !forward frons his seat, his wife's hand in his, gravely bent his head. "All this is known, lady," he said cotarteously. She did not answer; her eyes were upon the "Xing's 'favorite, and the circle waited with her. "It is known," .said my lord. She smiled 'proudly. "For so much grace, thanks, my lord," she said, .then addressed herself again to the Gayer - nor: "Your Honor, that is the past, the long past, the long, long past, though .not a year has gone by. Then I was a girl, proud and careless; now your Honor, I am a woman, and I stand here in the dignity of suffering and peril, II fled from England" --'She paused, drew herself up, and turned upon my lord a face and form so still, and yet so expressive of noble indig- nation, outraged womanhood, scorn, and withal a kind of angry pity, that small wonder if he shrank ;from such a blow. ''I left the only world •I knew" she said, 'I 'took a way low and nar- row and dark and set with thorns, 'bait the only way that I—alone and help- less and b.ewild'ered—could• find, be- cause that 11,;Jocelyn Leigh, willed not to wed with you, my !Lard ,Carnal. Why did you follow me, my lord? You knew that I loved you not, You knew my 'mind, and that I was ,weak and 'friendless, arta you used your power. I must tell you, my lord, that you were not chivalrous, nor compas- • sionate, nor brave"— ' 1 loved you!„ he cried, and stretch' - ed out his arm toward her across the table, 'PTe saw no one but her, spoke to none but her. There was a !fierce yearning and a hopelessness in his voice and bent 'head and outstretched "You loved me," she said, "I had rather you had hated me, my lord. S came no Virginia, your Honor, and (ten thought me the thing d tprafessed myself. !In the green meadow bey'on'd the church they 'wooed me as .such. This one came and that one, end at last a fellow, when a said him nay and bade him begone, did , dare to seize any hands and kiss' my lips. While I struggled one came and fiun,g" that dastard out of the way, then asked me plainly to become his wife, and there was no laugh or insult in his voice, I was wearied and 'fordone and desper- ate, , . ISo I met my 'husband, and so 11 married him. That same day I 'told him a part of any secret, and when my Lord Carnal was .come I told hint all . , . 'I had not met with much true love or courtesy or compassion in my life. !When ff saw the danger in which he stood because of ;me,'I told him the might 'free 'him- self from that coil, might swear to' what they pleased, whistle me off, save himself, and !;'would say no ward of blame. There was wine upon the table, and he filled •a cup and brought it to sae, and we drank of it together. We drank of the same cup then, your (Honor, and we will drink :of it still. 'We twain were wedded, and the world strove to part us. Which of you here, in such a quarrel, would. not with- stand the world? Lady Wyatt, would not thy husband hold thee, while he lived, against the world? Then speak !for mine!" "Frank, ,Frank!" cried Lady Wyatt. "They love each otherl" "If he withstood the .King," went on the King's ward, "it was for his honor and thine. I'f he fled from Vir- ginia, it was because I willed it so. Ha'd he stayed, my 'Lord Carnal, and had yott willed to follow me again, you must have made a yet longer journey to a most distant bourne. That wild night when we 'fled, why did you come upon (IS, my lard? The moon burst "forth from a black 'cloud, and you stood there upon the wharf above us; calling to the footsteps be- hind to hasten, We would have left you there in safety, and gone .our- selves alone down that stream as black and strange as death. Why did you spring dawn the steps and grapple with the minister ? And he that might have thrust you beneath the flood and drowned you there did but fling you into the boat. •We wished not your company, any 'lord; we would willingly have gone without you. I trust my lord, you have made honest report of this matter, and 'have told these gentletnen that my husband gave you, a prisoner whom he wanted not, all 'fair and honorable 'treatment. That you have done this I' dare take my oath, any lord"— ;S'he stood silent, her eyes upon his. The men around stirred, and a little flash tike the glint of drawn steel went from one pair of eyes to anoth- er. "My lard, ,my cord!" said 'the King's ward, 'Lon'g ago you won my hatred; en you would not win my contempt, speak truth this day!" In his eyes, which he had never ta- ken frons her face, there leaped' to meet the proud appeal is, her own a strange "fire. 'That he 'loved her with a great and evil 'passion, T, 'who needs had watched him closely, had long known, "Yea, he treated ;me fairly enough, damn himto everlasting hell! Put he's a pirate, sweet bird; he's a pirate, and .must swing as stnchl" "A pirate!" she cried. "But he was atone! My lord, you know he was nonel Your 'Honer"— The IGovern'or interrupted her: 'He made himself captain of a pirate ship. lady. He took and sunk ships of Spain," "an what sort dirt he become their chief?" she cried, "In such. sort, gen- tlemen, as the bravest of you, in like straits, would have been !;lithe to ,he arm that lent for the time a tragic die-IIyou had like measarre of wit anal d i�arin,., Ynnr I-Innor, the wind 'before nay fn the oageant, evil and maril ft which our boat rlrave like a leaf, the cent, of his life, lees that would engulf as, wrecked us upas a dasent isle.

Was it you, my lord'?" !Eyes and voice were imperious, and in her cheeks 'burned an indignant crimson. My lord's face was set anal white; the looked at her, 'but spoke no ward, "The Speinisih ships (night pass, lady," said the Governor; ''but this is an English ship, with ,the flag of Eng- land above Iter." "Yea," she .said. "Vneet 'then?" ,The circle rustled again. IThe Gover- nor 'loosed his wife's fingers and leaned forward% "You '"plead well, lady!" he exclaimed, "You :might win an 'Captain Percy had not seen fit 'to fire upon us." A dead silence followed his words. Outside the square win,d'ow a 'cloud passed from the 'face of the son, and a great (burst of sunshine entered the cabin. She stood in the heart of it, and look a goddess angered:lMy lord, with his haggard face and burning eyes, slowly rose .tram his seat, and they (faced each .other. "You told them, not who fired those guns, who sunk that pirate ship?" she said, 'Because he was your enemy you held your tongue? 'K'night, and gentleman—,my 'Lard .. Carnal—my Lord Coward!" "Honor is an empty word to me," he answered. "For you I 'would dive into the deepest hell,—if there be a deeper rthan that which burns me, day' in, day eu•t, . . , Jocelyn, Jocelyn, Jocelyn!" "You love ane so?" she said. "Then do my pleasure, !Because I ask it of you, tell these %nen the truth," She cane a step 'nearer, and held out her clasped hands to him." 'Tell eh'etn 'how it was, my lord, let me not ask in vain! 'Will you that 1I 'kneel to you?" "'I !fix my own price," he said. "'I. wile! do 'what you ask, an you will let ant kiss your clips" II sprang forward with an oath. !Some one behind' caught 'both my wrists in an iron grasp and pulled me back. 'Be not a fool!" grolwled Clay - borne in nay ear. "The cord's laosen- ing fast; if you interfere it may tight- en with a jerk!" !I freed my 'hands 'from his grasp. The Treasurer, sitting text him, leaned across .the table and motioned to the two seamen beside the 'window, They left their station, and each seized me by an arm. "Be guided, Captain Percy," said :Master Sandys i'a a Tow voice,"Wc wish you well, !Let her win you through," "First, tell the 'truth, my lord," said the 'King's ward; "then come and take the reward you ask" "Jocelyn 1" I cried, 9 command you"-- IShe turned upon Inc a ;perfectly col- orless face. "All any 'life after I will be to you an obedient wife," she said, "This once'I pray you to !hold me ex- cused. . , !Speak, my ford," (There was the mirth of the last in the laugh with which 'he turned' to the Governor, "That pretty little tale, 'sir, that II regaled you with, the day you picked me up, was pure imagination; tire wetting ,must. have disordered' 'm'y reason..

'I have lost a (throw, .perhaps, but I will recoup ten such losses with one such kiss. tByr y'oiu'r 'leave, lady, He went up 'to iser where she stood, with h'angin'g' arms, her 'head a little beat, 'white and cold and: yielding as a lady done in snow; gazed at her a mo - meet, 'wi'th 'his passion written in fierce eyes and 'haggard, han'd'some face, then crushed her to hire, If 'I could 'have :struck him dead I would ;have done so. When her word had, been .kept, she released .herself with 'a quiet and resolute dignity. As for him, 'he sank back into the great chair beside the 'Governor's, leaned an elbow on the 'table, and.'hid his eyes with one shaking 'Band. 'The 'Governor rose to his feet, and motioned .away the two seamen who held me fast. "We'll 'h'av'e 'no 'hang- ing this morning, ,gentlemen," he an- nounced, "Captain Penny, 1 beg to apologise to you dos- 'words that wane never meant for a brave Wand gallant gentleman, but for a pirate who I find does not exist, I 'pray you to forget them, quite." returned his how, but my eyes traveled ,past him, "I will allow you no words with my Lord 'Carnal," he said. "With your wife,—that is different." 'He ,moved aside with a smile. She was standing, pale, with •dow:n- cast eye's, 'where my lord had l''elft'her. "Jocelyn," 'I said, ,She turned toward me, orimsoned deeply, uttered a law cry, 'half laughter, half a ,sob, then covered her face with her h'ead's. I to'o'k them away and spoke her name again, and this time she hid her 'face upon any breast. IA moment thus; then -for all eyes were upon her—d lifted her Ihead, •kiss- ed her, and gave her to Lady Wyatt, whoa! !I found at my side. "'I com- mend my wile to your ladyship's care" I said. "A's you are ,woman, deal sis- terly by her!" "You may trust me, sir," she ,made answer, the tears upon her cheeks. "I did vat 'kn'o'w,—II did not ,understand, Dear heart, 'come away,—come away with .Margaret IWyatt," Clayborne opened the door of,the cabin, and stood aside with a low bow. The men who sat to judge me rose; only the Kiug's favorite kept his seat. With Zacly Wyatt's arm about her, the King's ward passed between the lines 'af standing gentlemen to the door, 'there hesitated, turned, and, facing them with d know not what o'f pride and shame, wistfulness of en- treaty and' noble challenge to 'belief in the 'face and form that were of all wo- men's mast 'beautiful, curtsied to them until her knee touched the floor. She was gone, and the sunlight with her. When I turned upon that shameless lord where he sat in his evil beauty, with 'his honor dead before him, men cane hastily between, 1 put them asire iwith a laugh. I had bait wanted to look at him. I had no sword,—al- ready 'he lay beneath 'my challenge,— and words were weak .things. At length he rose, as arrogant as ever in his port, as evilly superb in his towering pride, and as amazingly isa- different to the thoughts of men who 'Pied not, '"This 'case 'heath wearied, me," he said, "I wvili retire for a while to rest, 'olid in dreams to ;live ,over a past sweetness, 'Give 'y:ott good -day, gentles!

's'eying he c;lapped,'his ''heat .upas; his head and walked out of the cabin, Tihe 'Com- pany'.s officers drew'e long breath, es if a 'fras'her 'air had had came' in lwith his departure.
