BEGIN HKKK TODAY Colonel Holies, soldier and adventurer. returns to England, the land of his birth, -when war is declared with Holland. He conies to lodge with Martha Quinn, hostess of the Paul's Head, in Paul's Yard. London. The colonel asks his old friend. His Grace of Albemarie. to secure for him a place in the army. 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 to secure a commission. Holies meets a friend named Tucker on the street A street preacher is loudly lamenting the rapid spread of the pestilence. Holies goes to Tucker's home and is asked to enter a conspiracy to overthrow the government. Holies promises to think over the proposition. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “You overstate the case. Though much that you have said of him may be true, I will not yet despair of the help of Albemarle.” “Why, you blind madman, I tell you—l swear to you—that in a very little while Albemarle will be beyond helping any man, beyond helping even himself.” Holies was about to speak, when Tucker threw up a hand to arrest him. “Do not answer me now. Let what I have said sink home into your wits. Give it thought. We are not pressed for a few days. Ponder my words, and If as the days pass and no further news comes to you from Whitehall —no fulfillment of this airy promise—perhaps you will regard things differently, and come to see where your interest really lies. Meanwhile, Randal, the bottle’s not half done. So sit you down again and let us talk . M.' “HERE BE DREADFUL NEWS,” SHE TOLD HIM. Going home toward dusk the thing that most intrigued the Colonel was the dangerous frankness that Tucker had used with him, trusting a man" in

his desperate case with a secret so weighty upon no more' than his' pledged word and what Tucker remembered of him in the creditable state from which he had long since fallen. Reflection, however, diminished his wonder. Tucker 'had divulged no facts whose betrayal could seriously impair the plotters. He had mentioned no names; he had no more than vaguely alluded to a directing mind in Holland, which the Colonel guessed to be Algernon Sidney’s, who was beyond the reach of the Stuart arm.' For the rest, what had he told him? That there was a serious movement afoot to overthrow the Stuart dynasty, ants restore the Commowealth. Let Holies carry that tale to the authorities, and what would happen? He could impeach by name no man but Tucker; and all he could say pf Tucker was that Tucker had told" him these things. Tucker’s word would be as good as Holies’ before a justice. On the score of credit, Holies’ antecedents would be the subject of inquiry, and the revelation of them would result In danger to himself alone. Tucker had not been as ingenuous and confiding as he had at first supposed. He laughed a little to himself at his own simplicity. Then laughed again he he reviewed the proposal Tucker had made him. He might be desperate, but not desperate enough for that—not yet. caressed his neck affectionately. He had no mind to feel a rope tightening about it. Nor would he yet despair because of what Tucker, largely for the purposes of his own advocacy, had said of Albemarle. The more he considered it, away from Tucker now, the more persuaded was he of Albemarle’s sincerity and good intentions. CHAPTER VI _ Mr. Etlieredge Prescribes On his return to the Paul’s Head from that treasonable talk with .Tucker, the Colonel found a considerable excitement presiding over that usually peaceful and well-conducted hostelry. The common room was thronged, which was not in itself odd, considering the time of day; what was odd was the noisy, vehement babble of the normally quiet, soberly spoken merchants who for the main part composed its custom. Mrs. Quinn had a coy glance for the Colonel as he stalked through. It was not long before she folUAved him into the little parlor at the back, where she found him stretched at his ease on his favorite seat. under the window, having cast aside sword and hat. He was in the act of loading a pipe from a, leaden tobacco-jar. Lord, Colonel! Here be dreadful news,” she told him. “You’ll have heard?" she added. "It is the talk of the town.” He shook his head. “Nay. I heard nothing dreadful .1 met a friend, an old friend, over there by the Flower of Luce, and I’ve been with him these Three hours. I talked to no one else. What is this news?” But she was frowning, as she looked at him scrutinizingly with her round blue efces. Her mind was shifted by his light words to her own more immediate concerns. /He had met a friend an old friend. Not much in that to arouse anxiety, perhaps. But Mrs. Quinn moved now in constant dread of influences that might set the Colonel on a sound worldly footing likely to emancipate him from his dependence upon herself. She had skil fully drawn from him enough of the details of his interview with Albemarle to realize that the help upon which he counted from that quarter had not been forthcoming. He had been put off with vague promises, and .Mrs. Quinn knew enough of her world not to be greatly perturbed by that. None the less she would have set all doubts at rest by leading the Colonel into the relationship in which she desired to hold him, but that as yet the Colonel manifested no clear disposition to be led. And she was too crafty a huntress to scare her quarry by premature and too direct an onslaught. The only anxiety yielding to which she might have committed that imprudence, was on the score of the un expected. She knew that the unex pected will sometimes happen, and this mention of a friend—an old friend, with whom he had spent some hours in intimate talk—was disquieting. She would have liked to quesiion him on the subject of that friend, and might have done so but for his insistent repetition of the quesiton: “What is this news?” Recalled to it thus, the gravity of the news itself thrust out the other matter from her mind.

“That the plague has broken out in the City itself—in a house in Bear binder Bane. It was brought by a Frenchman from Long Acre, where he lived, and which he left upon Sliding the pestilence to be growing in his neighborhood. Vet it seems he was already taken with the disease, which now the wretch has brought to our threshold, as it wore, without benefit to himself.” The Colonel thought of Tucker and his scaremongering emissaries. "Perhaps it is not true, ’ said iic. "Aye, but it is. Beyond a doubt. It was put about by a preacher rogue from the steps of Paul s today. At first folk did not believe him. But they went to Bearbinder Lane, and there found the house shut up, and guarded by command of my Lord Mayor. And they do say that Sir John Lawrence is gone to Whitehall to take order about this, to concert measures for staying the spread of the pestilence: they are to close playhouses and all other places where people come together,, which will likely mean that they will be closing taverns and eating houses. And what should I do In that case?” "Nay. nay,” Hollys comforted her. "It will hardly come to that. Men must eat and drink or they starve, and that’s as had as the pestilence.” ‘To be sure it is. But they’ll never think of that in their zeal and their sudden godliness—for they’ll be in a muck-sweat o’ godliness now that they see what a visitation has been brought upon us by the vices of the court. And this to happen at such a time, with the Dutch fleet, as they say. about to attack the coast’” Sh“ railed oil Disturbed out of her self-centered existence into a consideration of the world’s ills now .that

she found herself menaced by them, she displayed a prodigious volubility upon topics that, hitherto she had completely Ignored. And the substance of her news was true enough. The Lord Mayor was at that very moment at Whitehall urging immediate and drastic mea sures for combating the spread of the pestilence, and one of these mea stires was the instant closing of the playhouse. Whitehall’s mind at the moment was over-full of other matters: there were these rumors that the Dutch fleet was out, and that was quite sufficient to engage such time and attention as could be .spared from pleasure by flic nation’s elect, following in .the footsteps of their pleasure-loving King. Also a good many of the nation’s elect were exercised at the time by personal grievances in connection with the fleet and the war. Os these perhaps the most disgruntled was His (Iraoe of Buckingham. He had requested^the command of a ship, a position to which his rank and his talents fully entitled him. in his own view That such a request would be refused had never entered his calculations. But refused it was There were two factors working against him. The first was that the Duke of York cordially diiiked him and neglected no chance of mortlfjing him: the second was that the Duke of Yoijk. being Lord Admiral of the. Fleet, desired to take no risks. There were many good posit Hr ns bom v. liich capable naval men could be excluded to make the way for sprigs of the nobility. But the command of a man-of-war was not one of these.

Buckingham was offered a gun-brig. Considering that the offer came from the King’s brother, he could not re sent it in the terms his hot blood prompted. But what he could do to • tark his scorn, he did. He Refused the gun-brig, and enlisted as a volunteer aboard a flag-ship. But here at once a fresh complication arose. As a Privy Councillor he claimed the right of seat and voice in all councils of war, 'n which capacity it is probable he might have done even more damage than in command of one of the great ships. Again the Duke of York’s opposition foiled him,
