CHAPTER TWENTY ALTHOUGH the shore* <rt the estuary were the green of tote May and tile English countryside seemed at >ta very best, it was a dismal pair of travelers who went ashore in Ixmdon. They had not been able to shake off their low spirits on the seemingly endless journey home. They turned Into a tavern and called for ale and for cuts off the haunch of beef turning on a spit. Tristram smiled at his companion and said. "By the Rood, it is good to be home. Wat." Walter nodded rather soberly. "I still have my doubts. Oh, I grant you we did what we set out to do in vine sense. We have been to - Cathay and we have returned safely. Our pocket* are full and we have talcs of wonder to tell. But what kind of reception will we get. think you 7 Will they hold our offenses against us 7 Will the hangman's noose tie our reward?” •'l'm not concerned about tbe safety of my neck. Last night I had a talk with Captain Camoys, and he spoke in glowing terms of the young king. This Edward the First is marking new laws to pro-tect-the rights of common men." Walter arrived at Gurnie alone,his companion having stopped at Cencaster. The first glimpse he ha<l of his home told of many changes m his absence. There were several new buildings of good siac grouped about the house, and a great stir of activity pervaded the place. Smoke poured from all the chimneys, and there was a clatter of grinding mill wheels. On the edge of Oswiu Pond he saw many horses behind a new wattled-fcTTcb. "My -grandfather's plana seem to have prospered," he said to himself. Again It was Wilderkln who greeted him. ... •"Master Walter!" he shrilled, his key ring shaking in his hands. "Ye've com* back to us at We gave ye up for dead long agb St. Walburga,, this will be a happy day for niy lord Alfgar." "And I am happy to be back. Old Will," said Waiter, slapping hun on the liack with so mwh'exBberance that the old man buckled and wheezed like a punctured bellows. "Have a care. Master Walter! 1 am an old man. and my bones are brittle." ' Toil will outlive all of ua. Arid how is my grandfather?” "Ailing, Master Walter; but most careful of his hi-alth indeed. He has had ulcers, and so he must drink oil of wheat in great quantities. We must send to London for pomegranates and boil the rind* in wine for him. It is supposed to do something, but what it ial can't remember. He tries everything, master, talks of little else. Now hr is complaining of pain* in jjjs jtrms and saya his hearing is i bad.

"A booker." Wildcrkin shrugged his low opinion of the occupant of [ the room. “My lord Alfgar cannot 1 attend to everything now, and he > brought this chafewax fellow from > Shrewsbury to look after the ac- - counts. He is as sly' as a whole • skulk of foxes put together, and : he sticks his swmking nose into . everything." "Things have changed at Gurnie, ■ Old Will It is more like a countinghouse." The seneschal’s expression I changed to on*- of high satisfac- , Uon. "Aye, Master Walter. We are ! prospering. The seven lean year* - are over. Like a countmghouae,' say ye? That i* bi tter than starving in proud idleness. He is a man ,• of. rare vision, my lord Alfgar!" The seneschal left, reappeared and announced that Walter was to repair to his grandfather's bedroom at once. "He sat right up when I told him, and it'll please ye to know I saw tears in his eyes. Never before has it happened save when I • hail to toll him your mother had I died during the night." The master of Gurnie was aiti ting when Walter entered. I "Wildcrkin, he has bc< bme a man!" he cried. "How he has fill< <l ouU i verily -behove he has a full iftch the better of ma tn height now.” There was a differ- > cnee of five Inches between them, in-point of fact. "It is a pity his mother is not here to see him. She would have been proud. As proud as his grandfather is, Wildcrkin," A lump had omie into Walter's throat. 'TeIT niy~lord Alfgar for me. Wildcrkin, that I am happy tn be home with him again. My happiness would be complete if only if only—" It proved impossible' for him to make any reference to his .mother's death. He blinked back the tears and waited. "Wildcrkin. where arc your wits?" cried the master. "Ask him where he has been, you knave! I cannot wait to know." "Tell my grandfather," said Walter, "that I have been to Cathay," A silence settled on the room "Wilderkin," said th* old man, i finally, "my grandson would not lie to me. Os that I am certain. And yet—and yet-no man ha* ever ! been to that distant land and re-, i turned to tell of it. My mind rebels ’ at what I have heard." i Walter sat down and began to i recount the story of his adven-, i turoiis five years. He confined himIself to the record of his travels and 1 the part he had played In the war, < reserving the more romantic ept- t •ndfu for la’er telling.

The old man gave some thc-ijht to this quite revolutionary proposal. Then he nodded hi* head. "Granted, Wildcrkin," he sal 1. ft was a full hour before Waner rose to leave. As he left the room he heard hi* grandfather calling, "Wilderkin! Wilderkin!" There was so much urgency In the summons that he rushed, to the other door, fearing that something had happened to the old man. Then, through fore* of habit, he hesitated; it had always been a rule that he must not intrude on his grandfather without a direct summon* The door was partly open, and Walter could ae* that the master of Gurnie had risen from his bed and was drawing on his long woolen undergarments with every evidence of haste. Th* old man heard his step and looked ' Up- ;—— ,- ' "Walter, come in!” he cried. Then he stopped and suspended the work of dressing. One spare white shank was still naked, and the gray garment trailed along the floor as he took-an involuntarystep forward. "I have spoken to him!” he cried again, in a stricken voice. "God and St. Wulstan, forgive me. I have broken my oath!” Walter remained where he was, not daring to speak. He aaw now that a man was standing respectfully in a corner of the room. The black boots and naked legs of the stranger marked him as a dependent. and on a second glanee Walter recognized the insignia, of Bulaire on his sleeve. The master of Gurnie did not proceed with his toilet for several tense seconds, and when he spoke again it waa to th* carl* from Bulaire. "Take yourself below, knave. Keep a still tongue In your hand and let no one know the errand which brought you here. Say nothing of what you have just heard, or I shall see to it you never speak again." The man left in such haste that he brushed against Walter in the doorway. The latter’s mind was filled with uneasy conjectures, and he gave no thought, to his grandfather's slip of the tongue.

The next morning Walter was summoned for a further audience. The King got to his feet and walked over to Walter with long strides. "A very odd story has i come to my tare.

It is true!" • The Queen nodded her head and smiled. "I am certain of it also." "By the Rood," the King said, there are many hundreds of men in Ix> nd on named Walter, and women with good reason for finding them. I very mwh fear we' have roused hopes m you which will lead to nothing but disappointment Still It may be wise to get to the bottom of it There is nothing more to tell, save that the woman la always accompanied by a black servant.” "Now I can indeed be sure!?" said Walter.
