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

while 'we slept, a pirate ship anchored
off the beach, and in 't'he morning the

gain. My headba'n'd .met theme alone,

Who `hath so misnamed a gallant
gentleman.? 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,

picked me up, was pure imagination;

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

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

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! Sir Francis 'Wyatt, you will
remember that ,this ,gentleman did re-
sist arrest, and that he both under'the
Di'n'g"s d'isple'asure!" '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.
"I have no 'c'ho'ice, 'Captain 'Percy,.
but 'to ,keep you still under res'trai'nt,

'Then send him .not again in't'o the

'Treasurer, with a wry ;face,

"And 'a p'a'ssing fair one," said
