B£GIN HKKM TODAY Colonel Holies, soldier and adventurer returns to England, the land of his birth, when war is declared with Holland. He comes "to lodge with Martha Quinn, hostess of the Paul's Head, in Paul s Yard. London. The colonel writes for an interview with his one-time friend. His Grace of Albemarle. Six times, in the course of four weeks, does he seek admission to the Duke's presence. On account of his shabbiness the colonel arouses mistrust in the ushers and they bar his way to the Duke’s residence. Because of his reduced circumstances Holies fears that he will starve. For fifteen years the colonel has worn in his ear a priceless ruby given to him for saving the life of a gentleman. This he refuses to sell. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY U J*' OUR name. sir?" the usher j Y asked. L X ' "Randal Holies.” He spoke It softly with a certain inward dread, suddenly aware that such a name :ould be no password in Whitehall, for it had been his father's name before him —the name of a regicide, and something more. There was an abundance of foolish, sensational, and mythical stories which the popular imagination had woven about the execution of Kng Charles I. Os these was the groundless story that the official headsman was missing on the day of the execution because he dared not strike off the head o? God’s anointed, and that the headsman’s mask had covered the face of one who at the last moment had offered himself to act as his deputy. The identity of this deputy had been fastened upon many more or

It produced, however, no fearful effect upon the usher. Calmly, meACID STOMACH!! GAS, INDIGESTION tChew a few Pleasant Tablets —Stomach Feels Fine! Instant stomach relief: Harmless!

chanicallv repeating it, the fellow consulted a sheet of paper. Then, at last, his manner changed. It became invested by a certain obsequiousness. Clearly he had found the name upon his list. He opened the studded door of which he was the guardian. "If you will be pleased to enter, sir ...” he murmured. Colonel Holies swaggered in, the usher following. "V y° v will be pleased to wait, sir ...” The usher left him, and crossed the room, presumably to communicate his name as yet another usher, a clerkly fellow with a wand, who kept another farther door. The Colonel disposed himself to wait, sufficiently uplifted to practice great lengths of patience. He found himself in a lofty, sparsely furnished antechamber, one of a dozen or more clients, all of them men of consequence If their dress and carriage were to be taken at surface value. Some turned to look askance at this down-at-heel Intruder: but not for long. There was that in the gray eyes of Colonel Holies when returning such looks as these which could put down the haughtiest stare. Having met their insolence by looking at them *as they might look at pot-boys, he strode across to an empty bench that was ranged against the carved wainscoting, and sat himself down with a clatter. The noise he made drew the attention of two gentlemen who stood near the bench In conversation. Or.e of these, whose back was toward Holies, glanced round upon him. He was tall, and elderly, with a genial, ruddy countenance. The other, a man of about Holies’ own age, was short and sturdily built with a swarthy face set in a heavy black periwig, dressed with a certain foppish care, and of a manner that blended amiably with a degree of self-sufficiency. He flashed upon Holies a pair of bright blue eyes that were, however, without hostility or disdain, and. although unknown to the colonel, he slightly inclined his head to him in *formaJ, dignified salu tation. almost as if asking leave to —resume his voluble conversation within this newcomer’s hearing. Scraps of that conversation floated ! presently to the colonel’s ears. "... and I tell you. Sir George, that his grace is mightily off the hooks at all this delay. That is why he hurried away to Portsmouth, that I by his own presence he might order j things . . The pleasant voice grew | inaudible to rise again presently. “The need is for officers, men trained in war . .

The Colonel pricked up his ears at that. But the voice had dropped again, and he could not listen without making it obvious that he did so, until the speaker’s tones soared once more. “These ardent young gentlemen are well enough, and do themselves great credit by their eagerness, but in war . . Discreetly, to the Colonel’s vexation, the gentleman again lowered his voice. !He was inaudibly answered by his : companion, and it was some time bej fore Holies heard another word of | what passed between them. By then ! the conversation had veered a. point. ”... and there the talk was all of the Dutch . . . that the fleet is out.” The sturdy, swarthy gentleman was speaking. “That and these rumors of the plague growing upon us in the Town—from which may God preserve us! —are now almost the only topics.” “Almost. But not quite,” the elder man broke in, laughing. "There’s ; something else I’d not have expected I you to forget: this Farquharson girl at | the Duke’s House.” "Sir George. I confess the need for you£ correction. I should not have forgotten. That she shares the public tongue with such topics as the war and the plague best show’s the deep impression she has made.” "Deservedly?” Sir George asked the question as of one who was an authority in such matters. "Oh. most deservedly, he assured. I was at the Duke’s House two days since, and saw her play Katherine. And mightily pleased I was. I can not call to mind having seen her equal in the part, or Indeed upon the stage at all. And so thinks the Town. For though I came there by 2 o’clock yet there w’as no room in the pit, and I was forced to pay four shillings to go into one of the upper boxes. The whole house was mightily pleased with her, too. and in particular His Grace of Buckingham. He spoke his praises from his box so that all might hear him. and vowed he would not rest until he had writ a play for her, himself.” ' "If to write a play for her be the only earnest his grace will afford her of his admiration, then is Miss Far quharson forunate.” “Or else unfortunate,” said the sturdy gentleman with 'a roguish look. “ ’Tis all a question of how the lady views these matters. But let us hope she is virtuous.” They were still laughing, when the door of Albemarle’s room opened to give exit to a slight gentleman with flushed cheeks. Folding a parchment as he went, the gentleman crossed The antechamber, stepping quickly and bestowing nods in his passage, and was gone. As he vanished at one door, the usher with the wand made his appearance at the other. "His grace will be pleased to receive Mr. Pepys.” The swarthy, sturdy gentleman cast off the remains of his laughter, and put on a countenance of gravity. "I come.” he said. “Sir George, you'll bear me company.” His tone blended invitation and assertion. His tall companion bowed, and together they went off, and passed Into the Duke's room. Colonel Holies leaned back against the wainscoting, marveling that with war upon them —to say nothing of the menace of the plague—the Town should be so concerned with the affairs of a playhouse wanton; and that here, in the very temple of Bellona, Mr. Pepys of the Navy Office should submerge in such bawdy matters the grave question of the lack of officers to combat either the Dutch or the pestilence. He was still pondering that eurious manifestation of the phenomenon of the human mind and the odd methods of government whiob the restored Stuarts had brought back to England,

It was a great deal forV man to be, and yet George Monk—called a trimmer by his enemies and “honest George” by the majority of Eng-lishmen-—might conceivably been more. Had he so willed it, he might have been King of England, whereby it is impossible that he could have served his country worse than by the restoration of the Stuart dynasty, which he preferred to effect. He was a man of middle height, powerfully built, but inclining now, in his fifty-seventh year, to portlllness. He was of a dark complexion, not unhandsome, the strength of his mouth tempered by the gentleness of his short-sighted eyes.

As Holies entered, he looked up, threw down his pen, and rose, but slowly, as If weighted by hesitation or surprise No word was uttered until no more than the table stood between them, and then it was to the usher that Albemarle addressed himself, shortly, in dismissal. He followed the man’s withdrawal with his eyes, nor shifted them again to his visitor until the door had closed. Then abruptly concern came to blend with the surprise still abidingin his face, and held out a hand to the Colonel, whom this reception had a little bewildered. “God save ns, Randall!
