BEGIN HERE TODAY Colonel Holies, soldier and adventurer, jeturns to England. tho land 'of his birth, when war is declared with Holland. He comes to lodge with Martha Quinn, hostess of theTPaul’s Head, in Paul’s Yard, London. It is dangerous for the colonel to secure a commission-in the English army because the name of -—Randal Holies, father of the colonel, is on the warrant for the execution of the late king. Martha Quinn proposes marriage to the colonel and, when he refuses her offer, she becomes angry. She tells Holies to find other lodgings immediately. Because he Is financially embarrassed, the colonel roes forth to sell a cherished ruby. His Grace of Buckingham hires several rogues to frighten the actress.

He had drawn his sword, and with the menace of this and of his voice, combined with his imperiously commanding mien, he clqve'himself a way through the press to the chair tiself.

The bright blade of his sword whirled hither and thither, beating ever a wider ring about the chair, and his voice accompanied it: “You mangy tykes! You filthy vermin! Stand back there! Back, and give the lady air! Back, or by Heaven mi send some of you where you belong. They proved themselves as cowardly as they had lately been aggressive, and they skipped nimbly beyond the reach of that darting point of his. His followers fell upon them afterward with whips and drove them still farther hack, relentlessly, until they were absorbed and lost in the ranks of the crowd of onlooker, which in

i turn fell back before the continued j menace of those impetuous grooms. The gentleman in blue swung to the chairmen. “Take up,” he bade them. And they, seeing themselves now delivered from their assailants, and their main anxiety being to remove themselves ’and their from so hostile a neighborhood whilst they might still enjoy the protection of this demigod, made haste to obey him. ills Grace of Buckingham—for already the people had recognized him, and his name had been uttered with awe in their rangs—stepped ahead, r and back those who stood i before him. "Away!” he bade them, with the ait of a prince speaking to his grooms. “Give room!” He disdained even to use The menace of liis sword, which he now carried tucked under his left arm. His voice and mien sufficed, and a lane was opened in that lining press through which he advanced with calm assurance, the chairmen hurrying with their burden ! in his wake. The lackeys closed in behind the | chair and followed to form a rear guard; but there was scarcely the ! need, for all attempt to hinder or molest sthe chair was at an end. Indeed, none troubled to accompany it farther. The people broke up into groups again, or moved away. about their business, realizing that here the entertainment was at an end. The fanatic who had led the attack and the knaves who had joined him had vanished suddenly, mysteriously, and completely. Os the very few spectator* whom curiosity or interest still attracted was. Holies, and this perhaps chiefly because Miss Farquharson was being carried in the direction in which Hs own business Was taking him. He came down the steps of the inn, and followed leisurely at some little distance. They swunf steadily along as far as Paternoster Row, where the traffic was slight. Here the Duke halted at last, and turned, and at a sign from him the men set down the chair. His* grace advanced to the window, swept off his broad plumed hat, and bowed until the golden curls of his periwig almost met across his face. Within the chair, still very pale, but quite composed again by now, sat Miss Farquharson, regarding his grace with a very odd expression, an expression best described as speculative. “Child,” he exclaimed, a hand upon his heart, a startled look on his handsome face, “I vow that you have taught me the meaning of fear. For I was never frightened in my life until today. None may call me devout, yet devout I feel at this moment. From my soul I return thanks to heaven that by a miracle I chanced to be here to save you from this peril!” She leaned forward, and her hooded cloak of light silk, having fallen back from head and shoulders, revealed the White luster of her beauty. “It was a most fortunate chance, your grace,” she said, almost tonelessly. “Fortunate, indeed!” he fervently agreed with her, and, hat in hand, dabbed his brow with a fine handkerchief. “Your grace was very opportunely at hand!"

And now there was a world of mocking meaning in her tone. She understood at last, she thought, upon whose behalf that fanatic had spied upon her going forth, afterward to follow nad assail her, thus providing occasion for this very romantic rescue. Having thus shrewdly appraised the situation, the actress in her awoke to play her part in it. “I thank God ?or it, and so may you. child,” was the quick answer, ignoring the mockery, which had not escaped him. “Is your grace often east of Temple Bar?” was her next rallying question. “Are you? l ' quoth he, possibly for lack of better answer. “So seldom that the coincidence transcends all that yourself or Mr. Dry den could have invented for one of your plays.” “Life is marvelously concident,” the Duke reflected, conceiving obtuseness to be the proper wear for the innocence he pretended. “Coincidence is the salt that rescues existence from insipidity.” "bo? And it was to rescue this that you rescued me; and so that you might have opportunity for rescuing me, no doubt yourself you contrived the danger.” * “I contrived the darger?” He was aghast. The contempt of her tone had cut him like a whip. It made him see that he was ridiculous in her eyes, and His Grace of Buckingham liked to be ridiculous as little as an ether, perhaps less than most. "How can you think it of me?” “Think it of you?” she was laughing. “Lord: I knew it. sir, the moment I saw you take the stage at the I roper cue—at what you would call she dramatic moment. Enter hero, very gallapt. Oh. sir, I am none so easily cozened. I was a fool to allow myself to be deceived into fear by those otfier silly mummers, the firss murderer and his myrmidons. It was poorly contrived. Yet It carried the groundlings in Paul’s Yard quith off their feet, and they’ll talk of your orave carriage and mighty mien for a whole day. at least]' But you cap scarce expect that it should move me as well; since I am in the play, as it were.” I v.m -aid of him. and with truth, ih;C J: 'v.:s tiie most impudent fellow n fa gi.in l, this lov<d>, acomplished, fcolit h son of a man whose face lind n ade his fortune.

Yet master It he did, lest he should cut a still sorrier figure. “I vow ... I vow you’re strously unjusl,” he contrived at iast to stammer. “You ever have thought the worst of me.

Then he looted some little of his anger, hui loosed it on pretence. “I would to Heaven 1 had left you to those knaves that persecuted you." She laughed outright. “I thank your grace for the entertainment provided; and einoe it has proved unprofitable I tnart your grace will net go to the

investing it with a greater penetration than it could possibly possess, his grace conceived them all to be the mocking witnesses of his discomfiture.
