WHO'S WHO.
Lt. Richard Butler of the Irish dra-
soons, on a foraging expedition during
Wellington's campaign ` against the
French in Portugal, commits an of,
fence during a drunken revelry, which
arouses the resentment of Portuguese
officials, and disappears from his regi-
' meat.
Terence O'Moy, brother-in-law of
Butler and adjutant -general, is visited
by
Miguel Forjas, Portuguese ,secre-
tt.cy of state, who warns Sir Terence
that Butter must be shot for his of-
fence. O'Moy promises.
Principal Souza of the council of
regency is opposed to Lord Welling-
ton
elling
ton's pian to devastate part of Porte
gal, and interferes with military op-
erations until the British commander
• in -chief hue issued the ultimatum that
unless Souza be removed from the
government he, Wellington, will with-
uraw from the country.
tine O'11Ioy, Sir Terence's wife, and
Butler's sister, hides -Butler, unknown
to her husban.
Count Samoval, avowedly an ardent
supporter' of Wellington, assures Una
that he will aid Dick if given an op-
portunity.
Capt. Ned Tremayne, O'Moy's sec-
retar y, is in love with
Sylvia Armytage, Una's cousin, a
char thinking, intelligent young lady.
CHAPTER XI.
COLQ1iN0t?N GRANT.
Above in the crowded vestibule at
the foot of the great staircase they
were met by Capt. Tremayne and
Capt. Me efts Glennie of the Tele-
mochus. •
Lady O'Moy's entrance of the ball-
room produced the effect to which cus-
tom had now inured her. Soon she
found herself the centre of assiduous
attentions. The first quadrille im-
pended, and as she was swept away by
Capt. Glennie, she came face to face
swith Tremayne, who was passing with
Sylvia on his -ars. She stopped and
tapped hi:, arm with her fan,
I have something to say to you,
Ned." He met her glance, and found
it oddly serious—inost oddly serious
for her, Reepouding to its entreaty,
he murmured a promise in courteous
terms of delight at so much honor.
But either he forgot the promise or
did not conceive its redemption to be
an urgent natter, for the quadrille
being done he sauntered through one
of the crowded ante -rooms with Miss
Armytage and brought her to the cool
of a deserted balcony above the gar-
den.
"Una will be waiting for you," Miss
Armytage reminded him, She was
leaning on the sill of the balcony.
He sighed, and stiffened slightly.
"Of course if you insist," said he, and
rnacle ready to reeonduct her.
She swung round as if to go, but
checked, and looked him frankly in
the eyes.
"Why will you for ever be misunder-
standing me?" she challenged him.
"Perhaps it is the inevitable result
of my ever -anxiety to understand."
"Then begin by taking Inc more lit-
erally. When I say Una is waiting for
you, I state a,sirsrp'-e fact, not a com-
mand that you shall go to her. Indeed,

ladyship, loolved over her shoulder. A.
tall figure was advancing briskly. He
recognized it even in the gloom by its
height and gait and 'swing for 0'-
Moy's.
"Why hero is Terence," he _said
easily --so easily, with such frank and
obvioushonesty of welcome, that the
tenger in which O'Moy caste wrapped.
fell from him' an the instant, to be
replaced by shame.
"I have been looking for you every-
where, my dear," he explained. to Una.
"I have a very dear friend who is
anxious to pay his respects,"
"This is damned indiscreet of you,
Ned," he added, turning to his 'secre-
tary. "Suppose you had been seers by
any of the scandal -mongers."
Tremayne ' accepted the rebuke in
the friendly spirit in which it appear-
ed to be conveyed. "You're quite right,
sir. We should lave'th&ught, of it."
And O'Moy felt again idle glow of
shame of suspicions so utterly un
worthy and dishonoring,
CHAPTER XIII.
THE -INTELLIGENCE OFFTOEls.
In a small room of the palace where
the ball was held, sat three men about
a card table. They were Count Samo-
val, the elderly Marquis of Minas, and.
a gentleman who wore the dark green
uniform of a major of Cacadal'es.
• With perhaps the single exception
of the Principal Souza, the British
pohey had no more bitter opponent
re In Portugal than the Marquis of Min-
as. Once a member of the Council of
Regency—before Souza hsd• been elect-
yne ed to that body—he had quitted it in
disgust at the British measures. He
e• was listening intently now to the soft,
is rapid speech of the gentleman in the
at major's uniform.
re- "Of course, rumors had reached the
a Prince of this policy of -devastation,"
s he was saying, "but his Highness has
hien 'disposed to treat these rumors
r- lightly', unable to see, as indeed are we
all, what useful purpose such a policy
s could finally serve. Since you assure
le me, Monsieur le Comte, that milord
Wellington's policy is beyond doubt, as
reported, it but remains to address
ourselves to the discovery of the mys-
tery underlying it. What conclusions
have you reached? You, Monsieur de
Samoval, have had exceptional oppor-
tunities of observation, I understand."
"I am afraid my opportunities have
been none so exceptional as you sup-
pose," repliad.Samoval, with a dubious
shake of his sleek,. dark head, "One

-Tremayne elbowed his way through
the gorgeous crowd, and so reached
Lady (Mose who was surrounded by
officers,
"Why, Ned," rhe cried, "you have
kept the waiting." And with a con
plete and charming ignoring of th
claims of all who had been before him
she pasted on the captain's ar
through the little crowd that gave way
before her, dismayed and intrigued.
"I want to talk to you most earnest
ly, Ned, Take inc somewhere who
wi can be quite private," she had beg
ged the captain. "Somewhere whe.
there is no danger of being over
heard."
Since the night was soft and warns

in the shadows of an avenue of palm
trees.
"It is about Dick," she said breath

Whow—Miss Artnytage told me"
at did she tell you?"
"That you had a premonition that
he might come to you for assistance.'
"A premonition!" Her ladyshi
laughed nervously, "it is more than
a premonition, Ned. He has come."
The captain stopped in his stride
and stood quite stt,l. `'Conte?" he
echoed. "Dick?"
"Shl" she warned him, and sank
her voice from very instinct. Followed
details of his appearan,
conclusion, however, I have reached:
o Wellington is preparing in Portugal a
m snare for Massena's army."
"A snare?•Hum! The major
pursed his full lips into a smile of
scorn. "There cannot be a. trap with
two exits, my friend. Massena enters
re Portugal at Almeida and marches to
- Lisbon and the open sea. He may be
re inconvenienced or hampered in Inc
- march; but its goal is certain. Where,
then, can lie the snare? Your theory
, presupposes an impassable barrier to
- arrest the French when they are deep
t in the country and an overwhelming
force to cut off their retreat when that
barrier is reached."
"Tho overwhelming force exists,"
- said Samoval, "You should'reniember
what Wellington obviously renter=
hers: that a French army depends for
its sustenance upon the country it is
, invading. That is why Wellington is
stripping the French line of penetra-
P tion as bare of sustenance as this card
table—an impassible fieri of fortfica-
tions encountered within many
, marches of the frontier—we may also
assume that starvation will be the
overwhelming force that will cut off
the French retreat"

made them known to her. "And he was
so insistent that no one should know,
not even Terence."
"Terence must not know" he'said
gravely.
You think that, tool"
"If Terence knows --welt, you will
regret it all the days of your life
Una. You will realize it when I tell
you that duty forced Terence to pledge
his word to the Portuguese govern-
ment that Dick should' be shot when
found,"
She stood still, ghostly white
against the gloom. A dry sob broke
from her. "Terence did that! Ter-
ence did that," she moaned, And then
in a surge of anger: "I shall never
apeak to Terence again. I shall not
live with him another day. It was in-
famous. Infamous !"
"It was not infamous, It was aI-
most noble, almost heroic," he amazed
her. "Sit down, Una."
They had reached a little circle by
a piece of ornamental water, facing
which a granite -hewn seat had been
piaeetl. She sank to it obediently, if
sulkily.
"Tt may perhaps help you to under -
tend what Terence has clone when T

himself;

he questioned in his smooth, level
voice.
Ilad he not looked away as he spoke
he aright have observed that her fin-
gers tlghtorled their grip on her pearls
almost convulsively, as if to break the
rope. It wits a gesture alight and
trivial, yet arguing perhaps vexation.
But Tremayne did not see it, and had
he seen it, it is odds it would have c
conveyed no message to him.-
There fell a long pause, which he ii
did not eel-itemtobreak. At last she c
spoke, telling him of Una's premoni-
tions about .Dick, 1
"Una eha11 have my assurance that t
I am ready to help Dick this very h
evening," he promised. 'I . at .least
have not pledged 1ny word to anything ;t
or to anyone."
And then the sleek and courtly Sam- e,
oval, detaching frown, seeming to ma
terialize out of, the blittering throng ;i
they had entered, was bowing low be-
fore her, claiming itis dance. As Tre-
mayne stood looking' after them some' 11
one tapped him on the oboe:der. A.
very tall, hawk -faced smart stood be- g
side him. It was Colquhoun Grant,
the ablest intelligence officer in Well-
ington s service.
"Why, Colonel!" cried Tremayne,
holding out his hand. "I didn't know
you were in Lishon,"
I arrieed only this afternoon." The
keen yes flashed after the disappear-
ing,fgures of Sylvia and her cavalier.
as I do, I Must have pledged myself
precisely as he did or else despised
myself forever. Won't you under -

"I understand that men are very

Tremayne sat down beside her.
