THE SNARE BY RAFAEL SABA-TIN/, The Master Tale•Teller, Author of "Bardelys the alasndficeut," ,Another Stirring Story of Adventure and Love in a New Setting— The Peninsular War. WHO'S WHO. Lt. Richard Butler of the Irish dra- goons, on a foraging expedition during Wellington's campaign against the French in Portugal, hears of a rare wine starts out by some monks. Drunk, out toget some of it. He mistakes a nunnery for the monastery he seeks. When admittance is refused, . believing the place is a "hotbed of treason," he forces his way ill. Shock- ed hocked and sabered when he realizes his sacrilege, he turns to go, but strikes his head bn a pillar and fall uncon- scious. Sergt. Flanagan who with a few troops accompanied him, meanwhile is attacked by peasants enraged at what they supposed was es deliberate viola- tion of the convent. Outnumbered ten to one, he manages to escape when the abbess appeals to the peasants. Sir Robert Crauford, connndnder'of the light division,hears Fianagan's report that Bute: was left for dead. "It is just as well," he says, for Lord Wellington would have had him shot," CHAPTER III. THE BROTHER -1N -LAW, News of the affair at Tavora reach- ed Sir Terence O'Moy, the adjutant - general at Lisbon, about a week Pater. In th~ course of the apology and ex- planation -offered by the colonel of the Sth dragoons in person to the mother - abbess, it had t rauspired'that Lt. But- ler had left the convent alive, but that nevertheless he continued abeent from. his regiment. O'Moy was quick to perceive what a semblance of justification the occur -i reuse most give to the hostihity of the intriguers on the council of regency,' what a formidable -weapon it must place in the hands of Principal Souza and his partizans. This was enough' to trouble a man in O'Moy's position. But there was more. Lt. Butler; happened to be his brother-in-law, own brother to O'Moy's lively, frivol- ous wife. Irresponsibility ran strongly in that branch of the Butler family. For the sake of the young wife whom heloved o ed with a passionate and fearful jealousy soch as is not uncom- mon in a man of O'Moy's temperament when at his age—he was approaching 11 his 46th birthday—he marries a girl of half his years, the adjutant had pul:ed'his brother-in-law out of many a difficulty. He took his head in his hands and groaned. The groan attracted the attention impartial handl' of his military secretary, Oapt, Tre- a That, sir, answered O'Moy testily, mayne, of Fletcher's engineers, at "ie because he is missing." work t}t a littered writng table. because hes rid point,"'O'Moy admitted; "no doubt it. was concerned with biterests common alike to the British and the Portugu- ese nation." "'That is a charitable assumption;. Sir Terenee." • 'Perhaps you will inform ice, Dom. Miguel of the uncharitable assump— tion which the Principul' Souza pre- fers," snapped Utley, whose temper begun to simmer. "I speak, sir, not with the voice of Principal Squzit, but^with that of the entire council of regency,' which has formed the opinion that Lord Welling- ton is skilled•, in' finding excuses for: the miedemeanors'of the'. troops under his colnanand.L' "That, said O'Moy, who would never have kept his teme-er in control but for the pleasant consciousness that. he held a hand of trumps, "that is an opinion for which the' council may presently like to apologize, admitting its entire falsehood." Senhor Forjas started as if he had been stung, He' uncrossed his black silk lege and made as if to rise, "Falsehood, sir?" he cried in a scan- dalized voice. , "It is as well that we elms d be plain, so 55 to be avoiding all miscon- ceptions," said' O'Moy. "You must know, sir, that we claim our"' laws against plunder and outrage are es strict as they well eati be and that where these things take place punish- ment inevitably follows.' "True,. certainly, where the offend- ers are nen from the ranks, But in this case, where the offender ie an offi- cer, it does not transpire that justice has been administered with' the same. "Precisely," "Whatever is the matter, sir?" For answer O'Moy, red in the face, "It's that damned fool Richard," thrust forward a dispatch which said growled O'Moy, "He's broken out that dilligent search was being made. again.
