CHAPTER XVI They took me back to the room in the tower, it, being now nearly 10 o’clock. Mas ter Lindstrom would fain have staid with mis constantly to the end; but, having the matter I have mentioned much in my mind, I begged him to go and get me Van writing materials. When ho returned, Tree was with him.

I will not set down tho letter I wrote to tho duchess, though it were easy for me to do so, seeing that her son lias it now. It contains some things very proper to ho said hy a dying man, of which I am not ashamed—God forbid!—but which it would not he meet for me to repeat iiere. Enough that I told her in a lew words who I was and entreated her in tbo name of whatever services 1 had rendered her to let Petronilla and Sir Anthony know how I had died, and I added something which would, I thought, comfort her and her husband—namely, that I was not afraid cr in any suffering of mind or body. The writing of this shook my compo¬ sure a little, hut as I laid down the pen and looked up and found that the time was come I took courage in a marvelous manner. Tho captain of the guard—I think that out of a compassionate desire not to interrupt me they had allowed mo somo minutes of grace—came to mo, leav¬ ing tho group at the other end, and told mo gravely that I was .waited for. X rose at once and gave tho letter to Master Lind stroni, with some messages in which Dymphna and Anne wero not forgotten, and then, with a smile—for I felt under all those eyes as if I were going into bat¬ tle—I said: “Gentlemen, I am ready if you are. It is a lino day to die. you know,” I added gayly, “in England we have a proverb, ‘The bettor the day the better the deedl' So it is well to have a good day to liavo a good death, Sir Captain.” “A soldier’s death, sir, is a good death,” ho answered gravely, speaking in Spanish and bowing. Then he pointed to tho door. As I walked toward it I paused momen¬ tarily by tho window and looked out on the crowd below. It filled the sunlit street, save wiiere a littlo raised platform strewn with rushes protruded itself—with beads from wall to wall, with faces all turned one way—toward me. It was a silent crowd, standing in hushed awe and expectation, tho consciousness of which sent a sudden chill to my heart, blanching my cheek and making my blood run slow for a moment. Tho next I moved on to the door, and bowing to the spectators as they stood asido began to descend tho nar¬ row staircase. There wero guards going down beforo me, and behind mu wero Master Lindstrom and more guards. The Dutchman reached forward in the gloom and clasped my hand, holding it as we went down in a firm, strong grip. “Never fear,” I said to him cheerily, looking back. “It is all right.” He answered iti words which I will not write here, not wishing, as I have said, to mako cortain things common. I suppose the doorway at the bottom was accidentally blocked, for a few steps short of it we came to a standstill, and al¬ most at tho same moment I started, de¬ spite myself, oil hearing a sudden clamor and a roar of many voices outside. “What is it?” I asked tho Dutchman. “It is the Dukeof Cleves arriving, I ex¬ pect,” ho whispered. “Becomes in by the other gate.” A moment later wo moved on and passed out into tbe light, the soldiers before mo stepping on cither side to give mo place. The sunshine for an instant dazzled me and I lowered my eyes. As I gradually raised them again I saw before me a short lane f ° r! ? cd *’ y tw ° row s ° Jjf 0 a ^pt back . by guards ami , at f the end . of f this two or three rough wooden steps lead¬ ing to a platform on which wero standing » number of people, and above and beyond all only the bright blue sky the room and fta“ cs <> £ tho J10ilruc Iumses showlns datk against it.

As if at a signal, every face now turned to¬ ward me. A dozen friendly hands passed mo up the steps amid a fresh outburst of cheering. Tho throng on the scaffold opened somehow, and I found myself in a second, as it seemed, face to face with the, president of tiio court. Ho smiled on me 8 £llvvi ? and kindly—what smiles there seemed to bo on all those faces!—and held ou t a paper. "In tho name of (ho duke!” ho said, speaking in Spanish in a clear, loud voice ■ . A pardon)” I muttered something, I know not what, nor did it matter, for it was lost in a hurst of cheering. When this was over and si¬ lence obtained, tiio magistrate continued: ‘■you are required, however, to attend the duke at tiio courthouse, whither wa had better proceed at once. ” “I am ready, sir,” I mutterod. A road was made for us to descond, and walking in a kind of beautiful dream I passed slowly up the street by the sido of tho magistrate, the crowd everywhere will¬ ingly standing asido for us. i. do not know whether all those thousands of faces really looked joyfully and kindly on 1110 as I passed or whether the deep thankful¬ ness which choked mo and brought the tears continually to my eyes transfigured them and gavo them a generous charm not their own. But this 1 do know—that tiio sunshine seemed brighter and tho air softer than over before; that the clouds trailing across tiio blue expanse were things of beauty such as I had never met before; that to draw breath was a joy and to move delight, and that only when tho dark valley was loft behind did I compre¬ hend its full gloom—by heaven’s mercy. So may it bo with alll At tho door of tho courtiiouso, whither numbers of the people had already run, tiio press was so great that wo came to a standstill and wero much buffeted about, though in all good humor beforo, oven witii the aid of the soldiers, wo could bo got through tho throng. When I at last emerged, I found myself again before tho table and saw—but only dimly, for the light now fell through the stained wind ow directly on my head—a commanding figure standing behind it. Then ^ strango thing happened. A woman passed swiftly round the table and came to mo and Hung her arms round my neck and kissed me. lb was the duchess, and for a moment sho hung upon me, weeping before them all. “Madam,” I said softly, “then it is you who liavo done this!” “Ah,” sho exclaimed, holding mo off from her and looking at mo with eyes which glowed through her tears, “and it was you who did that!” Sho drew back from me then and took me hy tho hand and turned impetuously to tho Duko of Cloves, who stood behind smiling at her In frank amusement. “This,” sho snid, "is tho man who’gave fcis lifo for my husband, and to whom your highness has given it back. ” “Let him tell hi3 tale,” tho duko an¬ swered gravely. “And do you, my cousin, sit hero beside mo.” She left me and walked round tho table, and ho eamo forward and placed her in his own chair amid a great hush of won¬ der, for she was still meanly clad and showed in a hundred places tho marks and stains of travel. Then ho stood by her with bis hand on tho hack of tho scat. He was a tall, buriy man, with bold, quick glancing eyes, a flushed face and a loud manner—a fierce, blusterous prince, as I have heard. Ho was plainly dressed in a leather hunting suit and woro huge gaunt¬ lets and brown hoots, with a broad leaved hat pinned up on one side, yet ho looked a prince. I stammered out the talc of Somehow - „ der ., But w |, y w j, rj why, man,” ho asked, when j p ad finished, “why did you let , think it was you who wounded the received nothing but good from her grace, bad eaten her breadant been received into her service.

"They ore represented to mo as dangerous persons, pestilent refugees from England and obnoxious aliko to tho emperor, tho prince of .Spain and tho queen of Ragland.” "I wonder you do not add also to tiio king of France and the soldan of Turkey!” growled tho dulte. ‘'Pish!

Eented in the duke’s presence ho discerned at once that the game was played out, yet ho rallied himself, bethinking him, I fan¬ cy, that there wero many spectators. Ho made a last effort. “The bishop of Ar¬ ras”— he began. “Pishi” scoffed tho duko, interrupting him. “The bishop of Arras”— tho priest re¬ peated firmly. “I would ho wore hung with his own tapostry!” rotorted tiio duke, with a brutal laugh. “Heaven forbid!” replied tho ecclesias¬ tic, his pale faco reddening and hiseyo darting baleful glances at me. But ho took tiio hint, and henceforth said no more of tho bishop. Instead, ho continued smoothly: “Your highness has, of course, considered the daegor—tiio danger, I mean, of provoking neighbors so powerful by shielding this lady and making her cause your own. You will remomber, sir”— “I will remember Innspruck!” roared tho duko in a rage, “where tho emperor— aye, and your everlasting bishop, too—fled beforo a handful of Protestants like sheep bofore wolves. A fig for your emperor! I nover feared him young, and I fear him less now that ho is old and decrepit and, as moil say, mad. Let him get to his watches and you to your prayers.

"I have, indeed,” I answered, thinking sho referred only to my escape of tbo morning. Hut siio did not. There was, firstly, the time on tho riv¬ er when you were hurt with tho oar," she continued, gazing absontly at me, liar hands in her lap, "am! then tho night when you saw Clarence with Dymphna.” "Or, ratiier, saw him without her,” I interposed, smiling. It was strange that she should mention it as a fact, when at the time she had so scolded me for making tho statement. “Ami then,” sho continued, disregard¬ ing my interruption, "there was tho time when you rvero stabbed in tho passage, and, again, when you had tho skirmish by tho river, and then today you were within a minute of death. You liavo boon wonderfully preserved!" I have,” I assented thoughtfully. “Tho more as I suspect that I liavo to thank Master Clarence fur all those little adventures.” “Strange—very strango!” sho muttered, removing her eyes from mo that she might fix thorn on tho Hour. “What is strange?” Tho abrupt questioner was the duchess, who. came bustling in at tho momont. “What is strange?” sho repeated, with a heightened color and dancing eyes. “Shall I tell you?” Sho paused and looked brightly at mo, holding something con¬ cealed behind her. I guessed in a mo¬ ment, from tho nspoct of Iter faco, what it was—tho letter which I had given to Master Eindstrom in tho morning, and which, with a pardonable forgetfulness, I had failed to reclaim. I turned very red. "It was not intended for you now,” I said shyly, for in tho let¬ ter 1 had told her my story. "Pooh, pooh!" sho cried. “It IN just as I thought A pretty piece of folly! No,” she continued as I opened my mouth, "I am not going to keep vonr secret, sir. You may go down on your knees. It will he of no use. Richard, you remember Sir An¬ thony Cludde of Coton End in Warwick¬ shire?” “Oh, yes,” her husband said, rising on his elbow, while his face lit up, and I stood bashfully shifting my feet. “1 have danoed with him a dozen timos, years ago!” sho continuod, her eyes spar¬ kling with mischief. “Well, sir, this gen¬ tleman, Master Francis Carey, otherwise Von Santonkirch, is Francis Cludde, his nephew!” “.Sir Anthony’s nephew?” “Yes, and tho son of Ferdinand Cludde, whom you also have heard of, of whom thu loss”— Sho stopped and turned quickly, inter¬ rupted by a half stilled scream. It was a scream full of sudden horror and amaze¬ ment and.fear, and iteamo from Mistress Anne. Tho girl had risen and was gazing at mo witii distended eyes and blanched checks and hands stretched out to keep me off—gazing, indeed, ns if sho saw in mo some awful portent or somo dreadful threat. Sho did not speak, but she began, without taking her eyes from me, to re¬ treat toward tho door. . “Hoity, toityl” cried my lady, stamp¬ ing her foot in anger. “What lias hap¬ pened to tho girl? What”— What, indeed? Tiio duchess stopped, still more astonished, for, without utter¬ ing a word of explanation or apology, Mis¬ tress Anno had reached tho door, groped blindly for tho latch, found it and gone out, her eyes, with the same haunted look af horror in theiPr-feeiLon mo to tho lust.
