They ascend the river Rhine in a boat
and reach the house of a friend named
Lindstrom.
CHAPTER X.
“This is n serious matter,” said Master
Bertie thoughtfully as we Bat in conclavo
an hour later round the table in tlio par¬
lor. Mistress Anne was attending to
Dymphna up stairs, and Van Tree had
not returned again, so that wo had been
pnahio to tell him of the morning’s ad¬
venture. But the rest of us were there.
“It considerably adds to the danger of our
position,” Bertio continued.
“Of course it does,” his wifo said
promptly. “But Master Lindstrom hero
can best judge of that and of what course
it will bo safest to tako.”
‘Tt depends, ” pur host answered slowly,
’'upon whether the dead man be discover¬
ed before night. You see, If tho body be
not found”—
“Well?” said my lady impatiently as lio
paused.
“Then wo must, some of us, go after
dark mid bury him,” lie decided. “And
perhaps, though lie will bo missed at the
next roll call in tho oity, his death may
not be proved or traced to this neighbor¬
hood. In that case tho storm will blow
pver and things bo noworsothan before.”
"1 fear there is no likelihood of that,”
Isold, “for J am told lie bad a compan¬
ion. One of the maids noticed them lurk¬
ing about tlio end of the bridge more than
once this morning,”
Our host’s face fell.
“That is bad,” he said, lookingat me in
evident consternation. “Who told you?”
“Mistress Anno, And one cf tho maid?
told her. It was that which ied me to fol¬
low your daughter.”
Tlio old. man got up for about the for¬
tieth time and shook my hand, while the
tears stood in his eyes and his lip trem¬
bled, “Heaven bless you, Master Carey!”
he said, "But, for you my girl might not
have escaped,”
He could not finish. His emotion phoked
him, and bo sat down again. The event
of tho morning—his daughter's danger
and my share in averting it—had touched
him as nothing else could have touched
him. I met the duchess’ eyes, and they,
too, were soft and shining, wearing an ex¬
pression very different from that which
had greeted me on my return with Dyrnph-
"Ah, well, she is safe!” Master Lind
Btrom resumed when ho had regained bis
composure. “Thanks to heaven and your
friend, madam! Small matter now if
house and lands go!”
“Still let ns hop they will not,” Mas

For myself, I had a present trouble that
outweighed any calamity of tomorrow.
Perforce, since I alone knew tho spot
where tho man lay, I must be one of tho
burying party. My nerves had not re¬
covered from tho blow which the sight of
tho Spaniard lying dead at my feet had
dealt them so short a timo before, and I
shrank with a natural repulsion from tho
task before me. Yet there was no escap¬
ing it, no chance of escaping it, I saw.
None the less, throughout the silent
meal to which we four sat down together,
neither the girls nor Van Tree appearing,
were my thoughts taken up with the busi¬
ness which was to follow. I hoard our
host, who was to go with me, explaining
that there was a waterway right up to tho
diko, and that wo would go by boat, and
beard him with apathy. What matter
how wo went, if such were tho object of
our journey? I wondered how the man's
faco would look when wo came to turn
him over and pictured it in all ghastliest
shapes. I wondered whether I should ever
forgot tho strange spasmodic twitching of
his log, the gurgle—half oath, half cry—
which had come with the blood from his
throat. When Lindstrom said tho moon
was up and bade mo come with him to
the boat, I went mechanically. No one
seemed to suspect mo of fear. I suppose
they thought that, as I had not feared to
kill him, I should not fear him dead, and
in tho general silence and moodiness I es¬
caped notice.
“It is a goodnight for the purpose,”
the Dutchman said, looking iffraut when

I kept my tremors for the moment when
we should brush through the rustling belt
of recds, and the willows should whisper
about our beads, and the rank vegetation,
tho mysterious durknp3S of the mere should
shut us in.
For a timo I was to bo spared this. Mas¬
ter Lindstrom suddenly stopped rowing.
“We have forgotten to bring a stone,
lad,” lie said in a low voice.
“A stone?” I answered, turning. I was
pulling the stroke oar, and my back was
toward him. ‘• Do we want a stone?”
“To sink tho body,” he replied, “We
cannot bury it in the marsh, and if we
oouid it wore trouble thrown away. Wo
must have a stone."
“What is to be done?” I asked, leaning
on my oar and shivering as pinch ip im
patience as nervousness. “Must wo go

“No; wo are not far from tho causoway

“There are some big stones, I fancy, by

Spaniard! Impossible! Yet a thousand
doubts and thoughts ran riot in my brain;
a thousand conjectures jostled one another
to get upporniv't. What was I to do?
What ought I to do? Go nearer to them,
as near as possible, and listen and learn
the truth, or steal back tho way 1 had
como and fetch Master Lindstrom? But,
first, was it certain that the girl was there
of her own freewill? Yes; tho question
was answered ns soon as put. The man
laid liis liand gently on her shoulder. She
did not draw back.
Confident of this, and consequently of
Dymphna’s bodily safety, I hesitated and
was beginning to consider whether the
best course might not be to withdraw and
say nothing, leaving the question of fu
tiiro proceedings to bo decided after I had
spoken to her on tho morrow, when a
movement diverted my thoughts. The
man at last raised his head. Tho moon
light fell cold and bright on liis face, dis
playing every feature as clearly as if it
had been day, and though I had only onco
seen bis face before 1 knew it again.
And know him! In a second I was back
in England, looking on a far different
scone. I saw tho Thames, its ebb tide rip
pling in the sunshine as It ripples past
Greenwich, and a small boat gliding over
it, and a man. in tho bow of-the boat, a
man with a grim lip and a sinister eye.
Yes, tho tall soldier talking to Dymphna
in the moonlight, his cap the cap of a
Spanish guard, was Master Clarence, tho
duchess’ chief enemy!

able to tell him what the matter was, ho
sitting the while with his arm round my
shoulder.
“You are sure that it was tho Span
lard?” he said kindly after l'.o had thought,
a minute.
''Quite sure,” I answered, shuddering,
yot with less violence. -‘How could I bo
mistaken? If you had seen him”—
"And you are sure? Did you feel his
heart this morning, whether it was beat
tng?”
‘-His heart?” Something In his voice
gave mo courage to look up, though I still
shunned the water, lest that dreadful
visage should rise from tho depths. “No,
I did not touch him.”
‘’Ami you tell mo that ho fell on his
face. Did you turn him over?”
“No.” I saw Ills drift now. I was sit
ting erect My brain began to work
again. "No,” I admitted. “I did not.”
-‘Then how,” asked tho Dutchman
roughly, “how do you know that lie was
dead, young sir? Tell me that.”
When I explained, ••Bah!” he cried.
‘‘There is nothing in that! You jumped
to a conclusion. I thought a .Spaniard’s
head was harder to break. As for the
blood coming from his mouth, perhaps lie
bit his tongue or did any one of a hundred
things—except die, Master Ernncis. That
yon may bo sure is just what ho did not
do.”
“You think so?” I said gratefully. 1
began to look about me, yet still with
tremor in my limbs and an inclination to
start at shadows.
“Think?” iio rejoined, with n heartiness
which brought conviction homo to me.
“I am sure of it. You may depend upon
it that Master Clarence, or tlio man you
take for Master Clarence, who no doubt
was tho other soldier seen with tlio scoun¬
drel this morning, found him hurt late in
the ovening. Then, soeing him In that
state, ho put him in tlio porch for shelter,
either because lie' could not got him to
Aruhcim at onco or because be did not
wish to give the alarm before he lind made
his arrangements for netting your party.”
“That is possible!” I allowed, with a
sigh of relief. “ But what of Master Clar¬
ence?”
“Well,” tho old man said, "lot us get
home first, Wo will talk of him nfter
ward.”
I felt ho had more in his mind than ap¬
peared, and 1 obeyed, growing ashamed
now of my panic and looking forward
with no very pleasant feolings to hearing
tho story narrated. But when we reached
the houso and found Master Bertie and
tho duchess in the parlor waiting for us—
they rose, startled at sight of my face—ho
bade mo leave that out, blit tell tlio rest
ot tlio story.
I complied, describing how I had seen
Dymphna meet Clarence and what I had
observed to pass between them. Tho as¬
tonishment of roy hearers may lie im¬
agined. “Tho point is very simple,” said
our host coolly when I had, in the face of
many exclamations and some incredulity,
completed the tale. “It is just this! Tho
woman certainly was not Dymphna. In
the first plaoe, she would not bo out at
night. In the second place, what could
she know of your Claroneo, an English¬
man and a stranger? In the third place, 1
will warrant sho has been In her room all
the evening. Then if Master Francis was
mistaken in the woman, may ho not have
been mistaken in the man? That is the
point.” only her
“No,” I said boldly. “I saw
back. I saw bis face,”
“Certainly that Is something," Master
Lindstrom admitted reluctantly.
“But how many times had you seen him
before?” put in my lady very pertinently.
once.”
In answer to that I could do no more
than give further assurance of my certain¬
ty on the point. “It was the man I saw
in tho boat at Greenwich,” I declared pos¬
itively. “Why should I imagine It?”
“All the same, I trust you have,” she
rejoined, “for if it was indeed that arch
tooun drel we are undone.”
“Imagination plays us queer tricks

“You need not be afraid, Anne,” my
lady said, smiling, bbo had a wonderfully

certain about it.”
“But where—where did ho soo him?"
the girl asked. Stio still trembled. Once
more I had to tell the tale, Mistress Anne,

liveliest emotions. And this time so much
of tho ghost story had to he introduced,
for she* pressed mo closely as to where I
bad left Clarence and why I had let him
go that my assurances got less credence
than ever.
"I think I sco how it is, ” she said, with
a saucy scorn that hurt mo not a little.
"Master Carey’s nerves are in much tho
same state tonight as Dymphna’s. He
thought ho saw a ghost, and he did not.
Ho thought he saw Dymphna, and ho did
not. And ho thought ho saw Master Clar¬
ence, and ho did not.”
“Not so fast, child!” cried tho duchess
sharply, seeing me wince. “Your tongue
runs too freely. No ono has had better
proofs of Master Corey's courage—for
which I will answer myself—than we
have!”
“Then ho should not say things about.

foot tapping tho floor and tho red spots

they care little that they swindle
the people in selling them an

this is just what the people are
doing, hard and merchants are having
a time trying to get people
