BEGIN HERE TODAY Colonel Hollee, soldier and adventurer. returns to England, the laud ol his birth, when war is declared with Holland. Up comes to lodge with Martha Quinn, hostess of the Paul's Head, in Paul’* 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 Kandal 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. His Grace of Buckingham gives a dinner for the beautiful actress, Sylvia Farquharson. Sylvia comes late to the feast, and. when she grids the company drinking to excess, flees from the houst. Mr. Etheredge tells Buckingham how to win Sylvia's favor. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY hi . IS a beginning. But you must follow It up. You must reveal .. , I yourself In anew character. Hitherto she has known you, first by repute and tonight by experience, a rake. Let her behold you as a hero; say, a rescuer of beauty in distress ■ —herself in the distressful part. Deliver her from some deadly peril, and thereby earn her gratitude and her wonder at your prowess.’’ “And the deadly peril?” quoth the TUCKER CAME AGAIN, ACCOMPANIED BY A GENTLEMAN SOME YEARS HIS SENIOR. Duke gloomily, almost suspecting that his friend was rallying him. “Where shall I find that?” “If you wait to find it, you may have long to wait. You must, yourself, provide it. A little contriving, a little invention, will soon supply what you lack.” “Can you propose anything? Can you be more than superiorly vague?” I “I hope so. With a little thought.” “Then, in God's name, think.” Etheredge laughed at his host's vehemence. He brimmed himself a cup of wine, surveyed the rich glow of it in the candlelight and drank it off. “Inspiration flows. Invention stirs within me. Now listen.” And sitting forward he propounded a plan of campaign with that rascally readiness of wit that was aUonce his glory and his ruin.

CHAPTER IX Albemarle Proposes Ned Tucker did not long leave his proposal to Holies unconfirmed. He sought him in the matter again at the Paul’s Head three days later on the Sunday, and sat long in talk with him in the little parlor. He found the Colonel a little more malleable today, a little less insistent upon serving governments ip esse. Still, he did not altogether yield to persuasions; but neither did he discourage him when the latter promised to visit him again on the morrow, bringing another old friend of their Parliament days. And on the Monday, true to his promise, Tucker came again, accompanied this time by a gentleman some years his senior, named Rathbone, with whom Colonel Holies recalled some slight acquaintance. This time they came with a very definite proposal, empowered, so they told him, by one whqse name they would not yet utter, but whiqh, if uttered, must remove his every doubt. “For that,' Randal, you will accept our word, I know’,” said the grave Tucker. Holes nodded his agreement, and the proposal was disclosed. It offered him a position which in an established government would have been dazzling. It was dazzling even as things were, to one in his desperate case, driveft to the need of making a gambler's throw. If on the one side he probably set his head, at least the stake they offered could hardly have been greater. And they teippted him further by revelations of how far their preparations were advanced, and how thorough these were.. A tap at the door interrupted them. Tucker bounded up, propelled by his uneasy conspirator's conscience. Rathbone, too, glanced round uneasily. “Why, what’s to startle you?” said the colonel quietly, smiling to behold their fears. “It is but my good hostess.” She came in from the common room bearing a letter that had just been brought for Colonel Holies. He took it. wondering; then, observing the great seal, a little color crept into his cheeks. He spred the sheet, and read, under the observing eyes of his friends and his hostess. Twice he read that letter before he spoke. The unexpected had happened, and it had happened at the eleventh hour, barely in time to arrest him on the brink of what might -prove a precipice. “Luck has stood your friend sooner than we could have hoped.” wrote Albemarle. “A military post In the Indies has, as I learn from letters just received, fallen vacant. It Is an important command full worthy of your abilities, and there, overseas, you will be safe from all Inquisitions. If you will wait upon me here at the cockpit this afternoon, you shall be further informed.”

He begged his friends to excuse him a moment, took pen, ink. and paper from the sideboard and quickly wrote a few lines in answer. W hen Mrs. Quinn had departed to convey that note to the messenger, and the door had closed again, the two uneasy conspirators started up. Questions broke simultaneously from both of them. For answer Holies placed Albemarle's letter on the table. Tucker snatched it up, and connetl it, whilst over his shouli'tr Rayibone read it. too. At last Tucker lowered the sheet, and his grave eyes fell again upon Holies. “And you have answered—what’” he demanded. "That I will wait upon his grace this afternoon as he requires of me.” “But to what end?” asked Rathbone “You can't mean that you will accept employment from a govern ment that is doomed." The Colonel shrugged. “As I have told Tucker from the first. I serve Governments: I do not make them." “But just now . . .” Tucker was beginning. “I wavered. It is true But something 'else has been flung into the scales." And he held up Albemarle's letter. They argued with him after that; but. they argued vainly. “If I am of value to your government when you shall have estab lished it. you will know where to And me; and you will know from what has happened now that I am trust-

worthy.” “But your value to us is now. in the struggle that is coming And it is for this that we are prepared 'to reward you richly.” He was not. however to be moved. The letter from Albemarle had reached him an hour too soon. At parting he assured them that their secret was safe with him. and that he would forget all that they had said. Since, still, they had disclosed no vital facts whose betrayal could frustrate their purpose, it was an almost unnecessary assurance. They stalked out resentfully. But Tucker returned alone a moment later. “Randal,” he said, “it 'may be that upon reflection you will come to see the error of linking yourself to a government that cannot endure, to the service of a king • against whom the hand of heaven is already raised. You may come to prefer the greatness that we offer you in the future to this crust that Albemarle throws you at the moYnent. If you are wise, you will. If so. you know where to find me. Seek me there, and be sure of- my welcome as of my friendship.” , They shook hands and parted, and with a sigh and a smile Holies turned to load himself a pipe. He was not, he thought, likely to see Tucker again. That afternoon he waited upon Albemarle. who gave him particulars of the appointment he had to offer. It was an office of importance, the pay was good, and so that Holies dis charged his duties well, which the duke had no occasion to doubt, there would be even better things in store for him before very long. "The one thing to effaqe the past is a term of service now, wheresoever it may be. Hereafter when I commend you for some other place, here at home, perhaps, and I am asked what are your I need but point to tile stout service

and men will inquire no further. It. is a temporary exile, but, you may trust me to see that it endures no longer than is necessary.” No such advocacy was needed to induce Holies to accept an office that, after all, was of an importance far beyond anything for which he could reasonably have hoped. He, said so frankly by way of expressing his deep gratitude. “In that case, you* will seek me again here tomorrow morning. Your commission shall be meanwhile made out.” The Colonel departed jubilant. So back to the Paul’s Head he came with his soaring spirits, and called for a bottle of the best Canary. Mrs. Quinn read {he omeift shrewdly. “Your affairs at Whitehall have prospered, then?” said she between question and assertion. Holies reclined in an armchair, his legs, from which he had removed his stretching luxuriously upon' a stool, his head thrown back, a pipe between his lips. “Aye. They’ve prospered. Beyond my deserts,” said he, smiling at the ceiling. “Never that, Colonel. For that’s not possible.” She beamed upon him, proffering the fuJI stoup. He sat up to take it, and looked at her, smiling. **Ko doubt you’re right. But I’ve gone without my deserts so long that I have lost all sense of them.” “There’s others v who haven’t,” said she; and timidly added a question upon the nature of his prosperity. He paused to, drink a q.wrter of the,

cel on the table at his elbow, he told her. Her countenance grew overcast. He was touched to note it, inferring from this manifest regret at his departure that lie had made a friend in Mrs. Quinn. “And w r hen do you go?” she asked him, oddly breathless. “In a week’s time.” She considered him. mournfully he thought; and he also thought that she lost some of her bright color. “And to the Indies!” she ejaculated slowly. “Lord! Among savages and heathen blacks! Why, you must be crazed to think of it." (Continued in Our Next Issue)
