BEGIN HERE 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 asks his old friend. His Grace of Albemarle, to secure for him a plane 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. A friend named Tucker asks Holies to enter a conspiracy against the government. His Grace of Buckingham falls victim to the charms of beautiful Sylvia Farquharson. actress, and he invites her to a dinner at his home. Sylvie comes late to the feast. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY OASTLY she saw the tall white figure of the Duke advancing toward her, his eyes narrowed, a half-smile on his full lips, both hands outheld in welcome. He moved correctly, With that almost excessive grace that was his own, and he at least show no sign of the intoxication that* marked the guests at this Circean feast. But that afforded her no reassurance. From pale that they had been, her cheeks—her whole body it seemed to her—had flamed a vivid Now it was paling again, paling this time in terror and disgust. Fascinatedly she watched his grace's advance fsfr a moment. Then Incontinently she turned, and fled, with the feelings of one who had looked-down for a moment into the pit and hell and drawn back in shuddering horror before being engulfed. Behind her fell a dead silence of astonishment. It endured whilst you might have counted six. Then a great peal of demoniac laughter came like an explosion to drive her fearfully onward. She reached the hall, darted across this, and across the vestibule, her light silk mantle streaming behind lit r, and so gained at last the open door, stared at by lackeys, who wondered, but made no attempt to stay her.

SHE DARTED ACROSS THE j VESTIBULE, HER M A N T L E STREAMING BEHIND HER. Too late came the shout from the j pursuingjDuke ordering them to bar i her ■way. By then she was already j in the courtyard, and running like a : hare for the gateway that opened ■ upon Whitehall. Out of this the | hackney-coach that had brought her was at that moment slowly rumbling. Panting she overtook it, just as the IP Beware of Imitations!

driver brought it to a halt in obedience to her cry'. “To Salisbury Court,” she gasped. Drive quickly!” She was in, and she had slammed the door as the Duke's lackey's— three of them —ran alongside £he vehicle, bawling their commands to stop. She flung half her body' through the window on the other fide to countermand the order. “Drive’ on! Drive quickly. In God's name!” Had they still been in the courtyard, it is odds that the driver would not have dared proceed. But they' were already through the gateway in Whitehall itself, and the coach swung round to the left in the direction of Charing Cross. Here in the open street the driver could defy' the Duke’s lackays, and the latter dared not make any determined attempt to hinder him. The coach rolled on. and Mis3 Farquharson sank back to breathe at last, to recover from her nameless terror and to regain her calm. The Duke went back with dragging feet and scowling brow to be greeted by a storm of derision upon which iri more sober mood his guests ‘Would hardly have ventured. He attempted to laugh with them, to dissemble the extent to which he had been galled. But he hardly .made a success of it, and there was distinct ill-temper in the manner in which he flung himself down into his great chair. Mr. Etheredge, leaning across Miss Howden, laid a white jeweled hand on his friend's arm. He alone of all the company, although he had probably drunk more deeply than any, showed no sign of intoxication beyond the faint flush about his eyes. “I warned you,”'he said, “that the little prude is virtuous, and that .she will require much patience. This is your Chance to exercise It.” CHAPTER VIII Mr. Etheredge Advises Toward midnight, when all the guests but Etheredge had departed, and the candles lighting the disordered room were gluttering in their sconces, the Duke sat a'one in council with the younger libertine. Tre Duke unburdered himself, bitterly and passionately. Etheredge smiled. “You're a prodigiously’ ungrateful fellow. You go clumsily to work and then you blame me for the failure of your endeavors. Had you asked me. I could have told you what must happen with a parcel of fools who haven't learnt the art of carrying their wine in decent fashion. Had she arrived at the appointed time, whilst they were stm sober, all might have been well. She might have come to share, in part, at least, their Intoxication, and so she would have viewed their antics through eyes that wine had rendered tolerant and kindly. As It is, you merely offended, her by a disgusting spectacle; and, that is very’ far from anything that I advised.” “Be that as it may,” said the illhumored Duke, “there is a laugh against me that Is to be redeemed. I am for director measures now.” “Director measures?” Ethereldge’s brows went up. He uttered a musical, scornful laugh. “Is this your patience?” “A pox on patience . . .” “Then she is not for you. TYait a moment, my sweet Bucks. I have no illusions as to what you mean by direct measures. You are probably more sober than I am; but then I am more intelligent than you. Out of my intelligence let me inform your sobriety.” “Oh, cofne to the point.” “I am coming to It. If you mean to carry the girl off. I’ll be reminding you that at law it's a hanging matter.”

The Duke stared, at him in disdainful amazement. Then he uttered a sharp laugh of derision. “At law? Pray, my good George, what have I to do with the law?” “By which you mean that you are above it?” “That is where I usually have found myself.” “Usually. The times are not usual. The times are monstrous unusual. Rochester, no doubt, thought as you do when he carried off Miss Mallet on Friday right. Vet Rochester is in the tower in consequence.” “And you think they’ll hang him?” Buckingham sneered. “No. They won’t hang him. because the abduction was an unnecessary piece of buffoonery—because he is ready to mend Miss Mallet’s honor by marrying her.” “Let me perish, George, but you're more drunk than I thought. Miss Mallett is a person of importance in the world with powerful friends . .” “Miss Farquharson, too, has friends. Betterton is her friend, and he wields a deal of Influence. Tou don’t lack for enemies to stir things up against you . ‘ “Oh, but a baggage of the theater!” Buckingham was incredulously scornful. "These baggages of the theater are beloved of the people, and the mood of the people of London at present is not one I should care to ruffle were I Duke of Buckingham. Ther© is a war to excite them, and the menace of the plague to scare them into making examinations of conscience. There are preachers, too, going up and down the town, proclaiming that this is a visitation of God upon the new Sodom. The people are listening. They are beginning to point to Whitehall as the source of all the offenses that have provoked the wrath of Heaven. And they don’t love you, Bucks, any more than they love me. They don’t understand us, and—to be plain—our names, yours and mine and several others, are beginning to stink in their nostrils. Give them such an argument as this against you, and they’ll see the law’ fulfilled. Never doubt that. The English are an easy-going people on the surface, which has led some fools to their undoing by abusing them. The spot where His Majesty’s father lost his head is within easy view’ of these windows. “And so I tell you that the thing w’hich you intend to do, which would be fraught with risks at any time, is certain destruction to you at tl}is present. The very eminence upon which you count for safety would prove your undoing. The fierce light that beats upon a throne beats upon those who are about it. A more ob-

scure man might do this thing with less risk to himself than you would run.” His grace tjjacarded at last his Incredulous scorn, and gave himself up to gloomy thought. Etheredge, leaning back in his chair, watched him, faintly, cynically amused. At length the Duke stirred and raised his handsome eyes to his friend's face. “Don't sit there grinning—damn you!—advise me.” “To what end, since you won’t follow my advice?” “Still, let me hear it. What is it?” "Forget the girl, and look for easier game. You are hardly young enough for such an arduous and tiring hunt as this.” * His grace damned him roundly for a scoffer, and swore that he would not abandon the affair; that, at whatever cost, he would pursue it. “Why, then, you must begin by effacing the bad impression you have made tonight. Pay her a visit on Monday at the theater to tender your most humble apologies for the disgraceful conduct of your guests. Had you known them capable of such abandoned behavior, you would never have bidden her make one of such company. You will profess yourself glad that she departed Instantly; that is what you would, yourself, have advß*d.” “But I pursued her. My lackeys sought to stay her coach!” “Naturally—so that you might make her your apologies, and approve a departure w’hich is the circumstances you must have urged.”
