BEX. IN HERE TODAY Colonel Holies, soldier and adventurer. returns to England, the land of birth, when war is declared with Holland. He eontes to lodge with Martha Qntnn. hostess of the Paul's Head, in Pauls Yard. London. The Colonel 'asks his old friend. His Grace of Albemarle, to secure for him a place in the army. Albemarle warns him that the name of Rand a i 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, who asks him to enter a conspiracy agnins the government. The street preachers are ioudiy lamenting the spread of the pestilence. His Grace of Buckingham requests the command of a ship anu is refustd. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Buckingham had remained, therefore, at Court, to nurse his chagrin, and to find his way circuitously into the strange history of Colonel *Randal Holies. His friend George Etheredge, that other gifted rake who had leapt into sudden fame a year ago x with his comedy, "The Comic Revenge ” had been deafening his ears with praises of the beauty and talent of that widely admired and comparatively newly discovered actress. Sylvia Farquharson. At first Buckingham had scoffed at his friend’s enthusiasm. “Such heat of rhetoric to describe a playhouse baggage"’ He had yawned. "For a man of your parts, George, I protest you're nauseatingJy callow.” "You flatter me in seeking to- reprove," Etheredge laughed. “To be callow despite the years is to bear the HIS'GRACE BOWED LOW. ’ mark of greatness. Whom the gods love are always; for whom the gods love die young, whatever be their age.” “You aim at paradox. I suppose. God help me!" *‘No paradox at all. Whom the gods love never grow old,” Etheredge explained himself. “They never come to suffer as do you from jaded appetites.” "You may be right,” his grace admitted gloomly. “Prescribe me a tonic.” “That is what I was doing: Sylvia Farquharscn, at the Duke’s House.” “Bah' A play actress’ A Tainted doll ( n wires! Twenty years ago yoqr proscription might have served.” “You admit that you grow old. Superfluous admission! But this, let tne perish, is no painted doll. This is an incarnation of beauty and talcr.t." ‘•So I've heard of others that had neither " “And let me add that she is virtuous.” Buckingham stared at him. opening his lazy eyes. “What may that be?” he asked. “The chief drug in my prescription.” Gains 36 Lbs. Powell says Tanlac not only increased his weight, but also put him back on job feeling fine. \ J

“Tanlac increased my weight thirtysix pounds and put me back on my job feeling tine," declares Allen M. Powell, electrician. -02 \V. Worthing ton St.. Ft. Wayne.-Ind. "Three years ago I met with an accident, and blood poisoning developed which laid me up for sixteen weeks and just about wrecked my nervous system. Some time after getting out of bed, I attempted to go back “TO work, but had to give it up for another month on account of nervous- indigestion, constipation and general weakness. "Tanlac put new strength and vigor .nto my whole body by making me <at plentifully and improving my digestion and liver action, and I have teen in splendid health ever since. Tanlac is a worldbeater.” Tanlac is for, sale by all good druggists. no substitute. Over 40 million bottles sold. \

“But does it existT or is your callowness deeper than I thought?” quoth Buckingham. “Come and see,” Mr. Etheredge invited him. “Virtue,” Buckingham objected, “is not visible.” “Like beauty, it dwells in the beholder’s eye. That’s why you’ve never seen it, Bucks.” To the Duke's playhouse in Lincoln’s Inn Fields his disgruntled grace suffered himself, in the end, to be conducted. He went to scoff. He v& mained to worship. You already know —having overheard the garrulous Mr. Pepys—how from his box, addressing his companion in particular and the whole house in general, the ducal author loudly announced that he would give his muse no rest until he should have produced a play with a part worthy of the superb talents of Miss Farquharson. His words were reported to her. They bore with them a certain flat- j tery to which it was impossible that she should be impervious. It prepared her for the ducal visit to the green room, which followed presently. She was presented by Mr. Etheredge with whom she was already | acquainted, and she stood shyly before the tall, supremely elegant duke, under the gaze of his bold eyes. In, his golden periwig he looked at this date not a year more than thirty, despite the hard life he had lived from boyhood. In shape and carriage he was of an extraordinary grace that drew all eyes upon him. l r et at sight, instinctively. Miss Farquharson disliked him. Reason and ambition argued her out of that instinctive shrinking. Here was one whose approval carried weight and would set the seal upon her fame, one whose good graces could maintain her firmly on the eminence to which she had bo laboriously climbed. His grace bowed, low. the curls of his wig swinging forward like the ears of a water-spaniel. “Madam,” he said, “I would congratulate you were I not more concerned to congratulate myself for having witnessed your performance, and still more Lord Orrery, your present author. Him I not only congratulate but envy—a hideous, cankering emotion, which I shall not conquer until I have written you a part at least as great as his Katherine. You smile?” ; “It Is for gratification at your grace’s premise.” “I wolhier. now,'' said he, his eyes narrowing, his lips smiling a little. “I wonder is that the truth, or is it that you think I boasted? that such j an achievement is not within my compass? I'll confess frankly that until I saw you it was not. But you have made it so, my dear.” “If I have done that, I shall, indeed, have deserved well of my audience. ’ she answered, but lightly, laughing a little, as if to discount the high flown compliment. 'x“ As well, I trust, as I shall have deserved of you,” said he. “The author must always deserve the best of his puppets.” “Deserve, aye. But how rarely does he get his deserts!” “Surely you, Bucks, have little reason to complain,” gibed Etheredge. “In my case, now, it is entirely different.” "V. "It is, George—entirely,” his grace agreed, resenting the interruption. “You are the rarity. You have always fdund better than you deserved. I have never found it until this moment.” And his eyes upon Mis.? Farquharson gave point to his meaning. When at length they left Ijer, her of exaltation was all gone. She could not have told you why, but the Duke of Buckingham's approval uplifted no longer. Alqiost did she wish that she might have gone without it. And when Betterton came smiling good-naturedly, to offer his congratulations upon this conquest, he found her bemused and troubled. Bemused, too, did Etheredge find the Duke as they drove back together to Wallingford House. “Almost, and think,’’ said he, smiling, “that already you iirtd my despised prescrfption to your taste. Persevered with it may even restore you your lost youth.” “What 1 ask myself,” said Buckingham, “is why you should have prescribed her for me inslead of for your self.” “I am like that,” said Etheredge—“the embodiment of sqlf-sacriflee. Besides, she will have none of me—though I am ten years younger than ybu are. fully as handsome and. almost as unscrupulous. The girl's a prude, and I never learnt the way to handle prudes. Faith, it's an education in itself.” “Is it?” said Buckingham. “I must undertake it, then.” And undertake it he did with all the zest of one who loved learning and the study of unusual subjects. Daily now he was to be seen in a box at the theater in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, and daily he sent her. in token of his respectful homage, gifts of flowers and comfits. He would have added jewels, but that wiser Etheredge restrained him. “Ne brusquez pas l'affaire,” was the jounger man's advice. “You’ll scare her by precipitancy, and so spoil ajl. Such a conquest as this requires ln-

finite patience." His grace suffered himself to be advised. and set a restraint upon his ardour, using the greatest circumspection in the visits which he paid her almost daily after the performance. He confined the of admiration to her histrionic art, and, 'f : e touched upon her personal beauty and grace, it was ever in association with her playing, so that ifs consideration seemed justified by the part that he told her he was conceiving for her. Thus subtly did he seek to lull her caution and intoxicate her senses with the sweet poison of flattery, whilst discussing with her the play he was to write —which, in his own phrase, was to immortalize hirAself and her. thereby eternally uniting them. There was in his more than a , suggestion of a spiritual bond, a marriage of their respective arts to give life to his dramatic conception, so aloof from material and personal considerations that she was deceived into swallowing at least half the bait. Nor was it vague. His grace did
