Her form seemed to shrink and grow less. Making a sign to me to go, she fell on her knees tho step and drew her hood over her face. I walked away on tiptoe down tho aisle; but-, glancing back from tho door of tho church, I saw the small, solitary figure still kneeling in prayer. The sunshine had died away. The dusty window was colorless. Only the red lamp glowed dully above her head. X seemed to seo what the end would he. Thou I pushed aside tho curtain and slipped out into the keen air. It was hers to pray., It was mine to act. I lost no time, but cn my return I could not find Master Bertie either in tho public room or In the inn yard, so I sought him iir his bedroom, where I found him placid¬ ly reading a book, his patient waiting in striking contrast with the feverish anxiety which had taken hold of me. "What is it, lad?” ho said, closing tho volumo and laying it down on my entrance, “You look disturbed.” "I liavo seen Mistress Anne,” I an¬ swered. Ho whistled softly, staring at me without a word. ‘‘She knows all,” I continued. “How much is all?” he asked after a pause. “Our names—all our names—Penrud docko’s, Kingston’s, tho others—our meet¬ ing place, and that wo hold Clarence a prisoner. Slio was that old woman whom wo saw at tho Gatehouse tavern last night. ” lie nodded, appearing neither greatly surprised nor greatly alarmed. "Does she intend to use her knowledge?” he said. "I supposo she does.” "Unless wo let him go safo and unhurt beforo sunset.” "They will never consent to it,” ho an¬ swered, shaking his head. “Then they will hang!” I cried. Ho looked hard at mo a moment, dis¬ cerning something strango in tho bitter¬ ness of my last words. “ComB, lad,” bo said, “you liavo not told mo all. What elso have you learned?” “How can I tell you?” I cried wildly, waving him off and going to tho lattice that my face might bo hidden from him. "Heaven has cursed me!” I added, my voice breaking. Ho came and laid his hand on my shoul¬ der. “Heaven curses tro ono,” he said. “Most of cur curses wo make for our¬ selves. What is it, lad?” I covered my faco with my hands. —ho is my father,” I muttered. “Do you understand? Do you seo what I have done? He is my father!” “Hal" Master Bertie uttered that one exclamation in iutenso astonishment. Then he said no more. But tho pressure of his hand told me that he understood; that ha felt with me; that he would help me. And that silent comprehension, that silent assurance, gavo tho sweetest com¬ fort. “Ho must he allowed to go, then ■ for this tinio,” ho resumed gravely, after a pause, in which I had hnu time to re¬ cover myself, “We will seo to It. But there will be difficulties. You must bo strong and brave. The truth must be told. It is the only way." I saw that it was, though I shrank ex¬ ceedingly from the ordeal before me. Master Bertie advised, when I grew moro cuhn, that we should bo the first at tho rendezvous, lest by some chanco Penrud clocke’s orders should ho anticipated, and accordingly, soon after 8 o’clock, we mounted and 6et furth. 1 remarked that my companion looked very carefully to his arms, and taking tho hint I followed his example. anxious It was a silent, melancholy, rido. However successful we might bo in rescuing my father—alas, that I should havo today and always to call that man father!—1 could not escape the future be¬ fore me. I had felt shame whilo ho was but a name to me. How could I endure to live, with his infamy always beforo my eyes?

Apparently they were waiting for tiio rest of their party, who were inside the house. Civilly disposed ;-.s they seemed, the fact that they were armed and wore rich liv¬ eries of black and gold caused me, and I think both of us, a momentary alarm. "Who are they?" Master Bertie asked in a low voice as he rode to tho opposite door and dismounted with ids hack to them. "They are Spaniards, I fancy,” I said, scanning them over tho shoulders of any horse ns I, too, got off. "Old friends, so to speak.” ‘‘They seem wonderfully subdued for them, ” he answered, “and on their best behavior. If half tho tales wo hoard this morning bo true, they aro not wont to carry themselves like this.” Yet they certainly wero Spanish, for I overheard them speaking to one another in that language, and beforo wo had well dismounted their leader—whom they re¬ ceived with great respect, ono of them jumping down to hold his stirrup—canto out with thico or four more and got to horse again. Turning his rein to lead tho way out through tho north gate, lie passed near us, and as ho settled himself in his saddle took a good look at us. Tito look passed harmlessly over mo, hut reaching Master Bertio became concentrated. Tho rider started and smiled faintly. He scented to pause. Then ho raised his plumed cap and bowed low, covered him¬ self again and redo on. His train all fol¬ lowed his cxamplo and saluted us as they passed. Master Bertie’s face, which had flushed a fiery red under tho other's gaze, grew pale, again. lie looked at me, when they had got'.o hy, with startled eyes. "Do you know who that was?” ho said, speaking like one who bad received a blow and did not yet know how much ho was Perk "No,” I said. “It was the Count do Foria, tho Span ish embassador,” bo answered. “And bo recognized mo. I met him often years ago. I knew him again as soon a? ho camo out, but I did not think ho would hy any chance recognize me in this dress.” “Aro you sure,” 1 asked in amazement, ‘‘that it was he?” ‘‘Quito sure,” ho answered. "But why did ho n it have you arrested or at least detained? T he warrants aro still out against you.” Master Bertie shook ids head. "I can¬ not tell, ” he said darkly. "Ho is a Span¬ iard. . But come, we have the less time to lose. We must join our friends and take their advice. Wo sootn tu he surrounded by pitfalls.” At this moment tho lamo hostler came Op, and grumbling at us as if lie had never seen us in his life before, and never wished to seo us again, took our horses. We went into the kitchen, and taking the first chance of slipping up stairs to No. 15 wo wore admitted with tho same precau¬ tions as before, and descending the shaft gained the cellar. Hero we were not, as wo had looked to be, tho first on the scene. I suppose a sense of the, insecurity of our meeting place had led every one to come early, so as to be gono early. Penruddoeko Indeed was not hero yet, but Kingston and half a score of others were sitting about convers¬ ing in low tones. It was plain that the distrust and suspicion which wo had re¬ marked on the previous ffay had not been allayed by the discovery of Clarence’s treachery. Indeed it was clear despondency had today become a panic. Men glared at one another and at the door and talked in whispers and started at tho slightest sound. I glanced round. Tho one 1 sought for with eager yet shrinking eyes was not to bo seen. I turned to Mas¬ ter Bertio, my faco mutely calling on him to ask the question. “Where is the pris¬ oner?” he said sharply. Then A moment I hung in suspense, one of the pten said: “Ho is in there. He is safe enough!” Ho pointed as ho spoke to a door which seemed to lead to an inner cellar. tag. “I have two pieces of bad news for you nevertheless. Firstly, I havo just been recognized by the Spanish embassador, whom I met in tho courtyard above.” Half tho men rose to their feet, '’■What is he doing here?” they cried, one boldly, V' 1 , , jpe I cannot north read." They gazed at one another and wo at them. Tho wolfish look which tear brings into some faces grew stronger in theirs. "What is your other had nows?” said Kingston, with an oath. “A person outside, a friend of the pris¬ oner, has a list of pup names and knows meeting place and our plans. Sho tlircatens to use the knowledge unless the man Clarence or Cxewdson be set free.” There was a which loud murmur, Kingston pi wath alone and dismay amid 5 .re served bis' flomposuro. *‘We might havo been prepared for that,” he said quiotly. ..

Besides the man was condemned yesterday with the full assent oi all. It only remains to carry out the sentence. Surely this gentleman,” he continued, turning suddenly upon me, “who was so ready to accuse him yester day, docs not wish him spared today.” “i do wish it,” I said in a low tono. “Ho! ho!” ho cried, folding his arms and throwing back his head, astonished at the success of his own question. “Tlien may wo ask for your reasons, sir? Last night you couid not lay your tongue t>o words too bad for him. Tonight you wish to spare him and let him go.” “I do,” I said. I felt that overy cyo was upon mo and that, Master Bertie except ed, not one there would feel sympathy with me In mv humiliation. They were driven to tho wall. They had no time for iino feeling, for sympathy, for apprecia tion of tho tragic, unless it touched them selves. What ehauco had I with them, though I was a sou pleading for a father? ISa.v, what argument had I savo that I was his son, and that I had brought him to tills.' No argument. Only the appeal to them that they would not make me a parricide! And I felt that at this they would mock. And so, In view of those stern, curious faces, a new temptation seized me—tho temptation to Ho silent. Why should I not stand by and lot things tako their courso? Wiiy should I not spare myself the shame which I already saw would ho fruitless? Win# Master Kingston with a cynical how, said, “Your reasons, sir,” I stood mute and trembling. If I kept si leitce, if I refused to givo my reasons, if I did not acknowledge tho prisoner, but merely begged his life, ho would die, and the connection between us would bo known to one or two. I should he freed from him and might go my own way. Tho sins of Ferdinand Cluddo wore well nigh forgotten, Why take to myself tho sins of Ciarenco, which would other¬ wise never stain my name, would never ho associated with my father or myself? Why, indeed? It was a great and soro temptation as I stood them beforo all tlioso eyes. He had deserved death. I had given.him up in perfect innoconce. Had 1 any right to call on them to risk their lives that I might go harmless in con¬ science, and ho in person? Had I— What! Was there, after all, some taint in my blood? Was I going to become liko him—to tako to myself a shame of my own earning in the effort to escape front the burden of his ill fame? 1 remembered in time the oath I had sworn, and when Kingston repeated hisquestion I answered him quickly. "I did not know yesterday who he was,” I said. “I have discovered since that ho is my father. 1 ask nothing on his account. Wero ho only my father 1 would not plead for him. I plead for my¬ self,” I murmured. "If you show uo pity, you make mo a pnrrlcido." I had done them wrong. There was something in my voice, I suppose, as 1 said the words which cost me so much, which wrought with almost all of them in a degree. They gazed at me with awed, wondering faces and murmured, “His fa¬ ther!” in low tones. They wero recalling tho scene of last night, the moment when I had denounced him, tho curse ho had hurled at me, the half told story of which that had seemed the climax. I had wronged them. They did seo the tragedy of it. « “l r os; they pitied me, but they showed plainly that they would still do what per¬ haps I should have done in their place— justice. "Ho knows too much!” said one. “Qur lives aro as good as his, ” muttered another, tho first to becomo thoroughly himself again. "Why should we all die for him?” Tho wolfish glaro came back fast to their eyes. They handled their weapons impatiently. They were longing to he away. At this moment, when 1 saw I had indeed made my confession in vain, AIi\ster Bertie struck in. "What,” ho of him. i£ and, faster escorting Carey and him I to take ins charge agen without, be answera.de ror‘both of them,’ “Yon would bo only putting your necks Into the noose!” said Kingston.
