K IN II:.KI: TH.\Y Colonel Hollos, soldier and adventurer, returns to Engrland. the land of his birth, when war is declared with Holland. He comes to lodgre with Martha Quinn, hostess of the Paul's Head, in Paul's Yard, London. The Colonel asks his old friend. His - Grace of Albemarle, to secure for him a commission in the army and Albemarle warns him that the name of Randal Holies, father of the Colonel, is on the warrant for the execution of the late king:. Therefore, it is dangerous for the Colonel lo enter the services of Eng- * land. The Colonel returns to Mrs. Quinn's and visions of a youthful love affair mum to him. Nan. the object >: his er-rljr affections, has shown no appreciation of hi- love-making. She is angry when he kisses her.

I . . but came to say goodby . , .” “Why, yes, my boy. Your father told me . . Through the trees came the girl’s teasing voice. “You are detaining the gentleman, father, and he is in haste. He is off to conquer the world.” Mr. Sylvester raised his heavy gray eyebrows a little; the shadow of a smile hovered about the corners of his kindly mouth, his eyes looked -a question, humorously. Randal shrugged. “Nancy is gay at my departure, sir.” “Tush, tush.'" The parson turned. Look his arm affectionately, and moved along with him toward the house. “A mask on her concern.” he murmured. “Women are like that. It takes a deal of learning to understand a woman; and I doubt, in the end, if the time is well spent.

God bring you safely home again.” _ But Randal took no comfort, and parted from Mr. Sylvester vowing in his heart that he would return no more betide what might. Very early next morning before the j village was astir. Randal rode forth j upon the conquest of the world, for - -e.l by a tolerably heavy purse, and brand-new sword —the gifts which had accompanied his father's | blessing. As he rode along the wail ] above which the cherry blossoms flaunted, toward the gray rectory that fronted immediately upon the road, a lattice was pushed open overhead, and the dead and shoulders of Nancy ! were protruded. “Randal!” she softly Qalled him. as he came abreast. He reined in his horse and looked '■ up. His rancour melted instantly. “Nan; ITis whole soiii was in his utterance of the name. "I . . lam wrj 1 laughed, Randal, dear. I wasn'-i really gay. 1 have j cried since. I have stayed awake all . | night not to miss you now.” This was ! ] hardly true, but it is very likely she j believed it. “I wanted to say good-by I and God bless you. Randal, dear, and . . . and . . . come back to me soon again.” * “Nan!” he cried again. It was all! that he could say; but he said it with j | singular eloquence. Something slapped softly down upon) • the withers of his horse. His hand* shot out to clutch it ere it fell thence. | and he found himself holding a little j } tasselled glove. There was a little scream from j above. “My glove!” she cried. “I've: ilropped it. Randal, please!" She was leaning far out, reaching down a beseeching hand. But she was still too far above him to render possible the glove's return. Besides, this time she did not deceive him with her comedy. “I’ll "ear it as a favor till 1 come to claim the hand it has covered.” he told her in a sort of exaltation. Ho kissed the glove, bowed low, covered himself with a flourish, and touched the horse with his spurs. As he rode away her voice floated after him. faintly mocking, yet with 1 a choking quaver that betrayed her | secret tears. “Don't forget to bring the world j Lack with you.” And that was the last of her voice j that he had ever heard. Five years passed before the day j when next he came to Potheridge. Again the cherry trees were in blossom: again he saw them, tossed by j the breeze, above the gray wall of j the rectory orchard, -5s he rode forward with high-beating heart, a lackey trotting at his heels. The elder Holies, Who had removed i himself permanently to London short ly after his son's going to Monk, had been dead these two years. If Randal had not accomplished his proud boast of conquering the world, at least i he had won himself an Important place in it. a‘fine position in the army, that should be a stepping-stone to greater things. He was the youngest colonel in the service, thanks to his own talents as well as to Monk's fa vor—for Monk could never 'had so' favored him had he not been worthy [ and so proved himself —a man of mark of whom a deal was expected by all who knew him. All this he now bore j written plainly upon him; his air of j authority; his rich dress; the handsome furniture of his splendid horse: the servant following: all advertised the man of consequence. And he was proud of it all for the sake of her who ! had been his inspiration. From his heart he thanked God for these things, since he might offer them to her. What would she look like, he wondered, as he rode amain, his face alight and eager. It was three years since last he had heard from her; hut that was natural enough, for the constant movements demanded by his soldiers’ life made it impossible that letters should reach him often. To her he had written frequently. But one letter 6nly had he received In all thoee years, and that was long ago. written to him after Dunbar in answer to his announcement that he had won himself a captaincy and so ad vanced £ stage in his conquest of the world.

How would she greet him now? How would she look at him? What would be her first word? He thought that it would be his name. He hoped it might be; for in her utterance of it he would read all he sought to know. They came to a clattering halt at ! the rectory door/ He flung down from the saddle without waiting for his groom’s assistance, and creaked and clanked across the cobbles to rattle on the oak with the butt of his rid-ing-whip. The door swung Inwards. Before him, startled of glance, stood a lean old crone who in nothing resembled the corpulent Mathilda who had kept the rector’s house of old. He stared at her, some of the glad eagerness perishing in his face. “The . .. . the rector" quoth he, faltering. "Is he at home?" “Aye, he be In,” she mumbled, mistrustfully eyeing his Imposing figure. “Do ee bide a moment, whiles I calls him.” She vanished Into the gloom of the hall, whence her voice reached him, calling; “Master! Master! Here be a stranger!" Came a quick, youthful step, and a moment later a young man ad vanced from the gloom. “You desired to see me, sir?" he inquired. Randal Holies stood looking at him. speechless for a long moment, dumbfounded. He moistened his Ups at Ipst, and spoke. "It was Mr. Sylvester whom I desired to see, sir,” he answered. “Tell me”—and In his eagernesn he was so unmannerly as to clutch the unknown parson’s arm—"where is he? Is he no longer here?” “No,” was the gentle answer. “I have succeeded him.” The young cleric paused. "Mr. Sylvester has been with God these thre© years.” Holies commanded himself. “This is had news to me, air. He was an old Mend. And hi* daughter . . . Miss .Nancy? Where Is she?" "That, sir, Ido not know. I never

Squire Haynes, corpulent and elderly, heaved himself up at the intrusion of this splendid stranger. “Gpd in heaven!” he cried in amaement “It’s young Randal Holies! Alive!” It transpired that the report had run through Potheridge that Randal had been killed at Worcester. That would be at about the time Mr. Sylvester died, and his daughter had left the village shortly thereafter. The squire had heard where Nancy

Nancy had gone to Charmouth to the care of a married aunt, a sister of her father's, her only remaining relative. The aunt’s name was Tenfll, an odd name. To his dying day Randal would remember that ride to Charmouth.
