BEGIN HERE TODAV Colonel Holies, soldier and advent urfcr. returns to England, the laud of his birth, when war is declared with Holland. He conies to lidee with Martha Quinn, hostess of the Paul's Head, in Pbul’s Yard. Tendon. The Colonel writes for in audience with his old friend. His Grace of Albemarle. ham he has not seen for ten • rears. Albemarle receives the Colonel cordially and tells him that real soldiers are grealty needed in the English army. Holies offers his services to his country and is warned by His Grace that the name of Randal Holies, father of the Colonel, is on the warrant for the execution of the late kin?. Therefore, it Is dangerous to assign an army commission to the Colonel. Albemarle asks Holies to dine kith him and Holies aci epts vow t;o on with mi; story A"I GAIN' he paused, and again his tone changed, shedding its t__J faint note of bitterness "I do not say these things—which I say for your ears alone here in private—to censure, or even criticize, the actions of His Majesty. It is not for a subject to question too narrowly the doings of his King, particularly when that King is a son concerned to avenge what he considers, rightly or wrongly, the murder of his father. I tell you all this solely that you may understand how. despite my ardent wish *o help you. I dare not for your own rake help you in the way you desire. b" bringing you. directly or in-i.j-ctly, under His Majesty’s notice, I should expose you to that vengeance which is not allowed to slumber. Your name is Randal Holies, and . . "I could change my name,” the Colonel cried, on a sudden inspiration, and waited breathlessly, whilst Albemarle considered. SHU LED HIM AWAY TO THEIR FRUGAL BOARD. “There might still be some who knew you in the old days, who would be but ready to expose the deception." “I’ll take the risk of that," Holies

"And i?‘"' he asked. “You?” “I should be a party to that decep tion . . For a long moment they faced each other thus. Holies striving the while to keep the despair from his face.

He paused to swallow something that threatened to mar the steadiness of his voice . . it but remains for me to take my leave.” “No. no.” The Duke leaned across and set a restraining hand upon his visitor’s arm. “We part not thus, Randal.” Holies looked at him. still inwardly struggling to keep his self-control. He smiled a little, that sad irresistible ( smile of _his. “You. sir, are a man overweighted with affairs: the burden j of a state at war is on your shouj--1 ders, I . . “None the-less you shall stay to dine.” ‘‘To dine?” said Holies, wondering where and when he should dine next, for a disclosure of the state of his affairs must follow upon this failure to improve them, and the luxury of the Paul's Head could be his no longer. “To dine, as you were bidden, and to renew acquaintance with her grace.”'' Albemarle pushed back his chair, and rose. “She will be glad to see you, I know. CoUte, fhen. The dinner hour is overpast already.” Slowly, stil Ihesitating. Holies rose. Yet in the end he yielded!*"nor had occasion thereafter to regret it. Indeed, at the outset her grace's welcome of him warmed him. The massive, gaudy, untidy woman stared at him as he was led by Albemarle into her presence. Then, slapping her thighs to mark her amazement, up she bounced, and came rolling toward him. “As God's my life, it's Randal Holies!" she exclaimed. And hoisting herself on tiptoe by a grip of his shoulders she resoundingly kissed his cheek before he guessed her purpose. “It’s lucky foi George he’s brought you to excuse his lateness." she add ed grimly. ‘‘Dinner's been standing ■ this ten minutes, and cooling do spoil j good meat. Come on. You shall tell j me at table what good fortune brings ; you." She linked aflarm through one of i his, and let; hirHP&way to their frugal J board, which Mr. Pepys—who loved j the good things of this world—has de- j nounced as laden with dirty dishes and meat. It was certainly not ducal, either in appurtenances or ser- j vice. Burthen neither was its host- 1 ess, nor could any human power have made her so. To the end she was Nan Clarges, the farrier's daughter and the farrier's widow, the sempstress who had been Monk’s mistress ] when he was a prisoner in the Tower] some twenty years ago, and whom — in an evil hour, as was generally be-1 lieved—he had subsequently married, i to legitimize their children. She counted few friends in the great world in which her husband had his being, whilst those she may have counted in her former station had long since passed beyond her ken. Therefore did she treasure more dearly the few—the very few —whom she had honored with that name. And of these was Randal Holies. Because of his deep regard for Monk, and because of "the easy goodnature that was his own, he had in the early days of Monk’s marriage shown a proper regard for Monk’s wife, treating wiith the deference due to her married station an unfortunate woman who was smarting under the undisguised contempt of the mojority of her husband's friends and associates. She had cherished that deference and courtesy of Holies’ as only a woman m her situation could and the mem cry of it was ineffaceably impressed upon her mind. She plied him with questions all through her noisy feeding.*until she had drawn from his, not only the condition of his fortunes, but the rea son of his r-eturn to England, the hopes he had nourished, and her own husband's wrecking of those hopes. It put her In a rage. “God’s life!” she roared at her ducal lord and master. “Yob would ha’ turned him out like a beggar from the door? Him—Randall!” His grace, the dauntless, honest George Monk, who all his life had trodden so firmly the path of rectitude, who feared no man, not even excepting the King, whom he had made, lowered his proud, grave eyes before this termagant’s angry glance. “You see, my love, according to my lights . . he was beginning uneasily. “Your lights quotha!” she shrilled in scorn. “M’ghty dim lights they be, George, if you can’t see to help a friend by them." He smiled, gently, as if to show that he used gentleness from disinclination to assert his mastery. As best he could, seeing that he was subjected the while to a running fire of scornful interruptions, he made clear the situation as already he had made it clear to Holies. "Lord George,” she said, when he had finished, and her gTeat red face was blank: “you are growing old. You are not the man you was. You, a kingmaker! La!” She withered him with her scorn. “Where are the wits that helped King pharles Stuart back to his own? You wasn’t put off by the first obstacle In them days. What I would ye be without me, I ask myself. It needs me to help ye see how ye can help a friend without bringing him under notice of them as might do him a hurt.” "If ybu can do that, my dear . . .” “If I can? I'd ha’ my brains fried for supper if I couldn’t. I would so —damme! For ’tls all they'd be good for. Is there no commands in your bestowing but commands here at home?” His eyebrows flickered up, as if something in his mind responded to hevsuggestlon. re there no colonies to this realm

"At this very moment, no. But Xncies occur. There are risks, of Be, Imd . . Holies cut in briskly. “I have said that I have lived on risks.

A little patience, and it may be mine to offer you some place abroad.” “And if he doesn’t send word soon do you come and see me again, Randal,” said her grace; “we’ll quicken him. He’s well enough; but he’s growing old, and his wit is sluggish.” And the great man, whose eye had daunted armies, smiled benignly upon his termagant.
