BEGIN HERE TODAY Colonel Holies, soldier and adventurer. returns lo Ensland. his native land, when war -with Holland is declared. It is dansrerous for Holies to secure a commission in the English army because the name of Randal Holies. father of the colonel, appears on the warrant for the execution of the late king. A friend of the colonel, named Tucker. Is arrested for plotting against the government. Because Holies has been seen in Tucker's company a warrant is out for his arrest. His Grace of Buckingham hires Colonels Holies to abduct the actress. Sylvia Farquharson. and carry her so the house that he has rented. Holies is financially embarrassed and accepts the offer. He invites Sylvia's chairmen to have a drink while they are waiting for her to come out of the theater. M)\V GO ON WITH THE STORY UEX fi® propos.-d a second pint, they actvally grew solJ cran: and when after that he called for a third, they were almost prepared to treat him with respect. The pair were spending a very •pleasant and profitable evening with this stray and thirsty rodomont. They drank noisily. And noisily and repeatedly Jake smacked his lips thereafter, frowning a little as he /avored the draught. "I don’t think It’s as good as the last,” he complained. The Colonel picked up his own tankard with solicitude and took a pull at it. *’l have drunk better.” he boasted. "Rut 'rgood enough, and just the same as last. Just the same.” "May t|p my fancy,” said Jake, at which his companion nodded. Then the Colonel fell to talking volubly, boastfully. The landlady, who began to mislike their looks, drew near. The Colonel beckoned her nearer still and thrust a piece of gold into her hand. “I-et that pay the reckoning.” said he, very magnicent. _ The Colonel resumed, his talk. Whether from the soporific dreariness of this, or from the potency of the libations. Jake's eyelids were growing so heavy that he appeared to have difficulty in keeping them from closing. whilst Nat was hardly in better Presently, surrendering to the luxudious torpor that pervaded him, Jake folded his arms upon the table, and laid his sleepy head upon them. At this his fellow took alarm and leaned across in an attempt to rouse him.

“Hi! Jake! We gotter carry . . . ladyship home.” "Dammer ladyship,” grunted Jake in the very act of falling asleep. With dazed eyes Nat looked helplessly at the Colonel and shaped his lips to utterance by a visible effort. “Too much . . . drink,” he said thickly. “Not used . . . wine.” He made a feeble attempt to rise, failed, and he suddenly resigned himself. lake Jake, who was already snoring, he made on the table a pillow of his arms, and lowered his head to it. In a moment both the chairmen were soundly asleep. •* Colonel Holies softly pushed back his stool, and rose. He lurched out of the corner, and the hostess hearing him move came forward. He took her by the arm with one hand, whilst with the other, to her amazement, he pressed a second gold piece into her palm. He closed one. eye solemlv, and pointed to the sleeping twain. ‘‘Ver> T good fellows . . . friends o’ mine,” he informed her. “Very drunk. Not used . . . wine. Lerrem sleep in peace.” She smirked, clutching that second precious pece. “Indeed, your honor, they may sleep and welcome. Ye’ve paid for their lodgings.” Holies considered her critically. “Goo' woman. Ye're a goo’ woman.” A MAN EMERGED TO CHECK THEIR PROGRESS. , He> considered her further. “Handsome woman! Lerrem sleep in peace. Gobbless you.” - He loosed her arm, reeled away a little, swung round, and lurched out of the place and off down the street Having gone some little way, he halted unsteadily 'and looked baejt. He was not observed. Having assured himself of this, he resumed his way, and it is noteworthy that he no longer staggered. 'His step was now brisk and certain. He flung something from him as he went, and there was a faint tinkle of shivering glass. It was the phial that had contained the powerful narcotic which he had added to is geests' wine. The hour of seven was striking from St. Clement’s Danes as he pas.sed the back door of the playhouse and the untended chair that waited there for Miss Farquharson. Farther down the narrow street a couple of men were lounging who a' a little distance might have been mistaken for the very chairmen he had left slumbering in the alehouse. Their plain liveries at least weft very similar, and they were covered with broad round hats identical with those of Miss Farquharson's bearers, worn at an angle that left their faces scarcely visible. Sauntering casually. Colonel Holies came up with them. The street thereabouts was practically untenanted. “Is all well?” He asked them. They nodded, and lounged along, eventually to lean against the thea ter wall in the neighborhood of the chair, obviously its bearers. Holies took cover in a doorway, whence he could watch the scene of action, and there disposed himself to wait. - At last, at a little after half past eight, when already objects were become indistinctly visible at a little distance, the actress made her appearance in the .doorway. She came accompanied by Mr. Betterton, and was followed by the theater doorkeeper. She paused to deliver to the latter certain instructions in the matter of her packages, then Mr. Betterton escorted her gallantly to j her efiair. The chairmen were alI ready at their places to which they had sprung immediately upon her ! coming forth. One standing behind the chair, by raising its hinged roof made of this a screen for himself, j The other, by the foreshafts e i 1 deu voted to find cover beside the body ! of the chair itself. Gathering her hooded cloak about her, she stepped into the sedan. Betterton bowed low over her hand In valediction.' As he stood back, the chairman in front closed the apron whilst the one behind lowered the roof. Then, taking their places between the shafts, they raised the chair and began to move away with it. From within Miss Farquharson waved a delicate hand to Mr. Betton, who stood bowing, bareheaded. CHAPTER XVII Tile Abduction The chair swung past the grotesque wooden structure of Temple Bar and along Fleet St. in the deepening dusk of that summer evening, and this being the normal way it should have taken there • as so far nothing to alarm its occupant. But as its bearers were about to turn to the right, to plunge into the narrow allay leading down to Salisbury Court, a man suddenly emerged from that blackgulf to check their progress. The man was Holies, who had gained the place ahead of them. "Back!” he called to them, as he advanced- “You cannot pass. There is a riot down there about a plaguestricken house which has been broken open, and the pestilence is being scattred to the four winds. You cannot go this way.’* The bearers haltaA. “What way, then?” the foremost Inquired.

“Whither would you go?’’ the man asked him. “To Salisbury Court.” “Why, that is my way. You must go round by the Fleet Ditch, as I must. Come, follow me.” And he went ahead briskly down Fleet St. The chair resumed its way in the altered direction. Miss Farquharson had leaned forward when it halted lo hear what was said.

But when they came to the Fleet Ditch, instead of turning to the right her bearers kept straight on follow ing ever in the wake of that tall cloaked man who had offered so conduct them. They were halfway over the bridge before Miss Farquha-son became aware of what was happening. When the chair suddenly turned *o the left in the direction of Baynard's Castle, her bewilderment suddenly redoubled. ‘‘Nathaniel.” she called shrilly, leaning forward, and vainly seeking

There was something sinisterly purposeful in the solid manner in which the fellow plodded on unheeding.

yielded to her exertions. She yielded to terror and her screams for help awoke the silent echoes of the street. The tall mah halted, 'turned, rapped out an oath, ancl authoritatively commanded the men to set down. But even as he issued the order the flare of a link suddenly piade its appearance at the corner of Paul's Chains, and in the ring of yellow light it cast they could discern the black outlines of three or four moving figures. “On! On!” Holfes bade the chairmen curtly, and hii uself went forward

again, the chair now following with Miss Farquharson steadily shrieking for help and beating fi-etiziedly upon roof and apron. She, too, had seen those heaven-sent rescuers rushing swiftly to meet them. They were a party of three gentlemen lighted by a link-boy, on their homeward way. They were young and adventurous, as it chanced, and very ready to bare their blades in defense of a lady in distress. But it happened that this was a contingency for which Holle was fully
