His Grace of Buckingham hires Holies to the actress Sylvia Farquhar--oc It is dark when the colonel carries her off and. when he arrives at the "use Buckingham lias rented. Holies is horror struck when he sees that Sylvia is an old sweetheart Buckingham and Holies engage in a duel. The servants of the Duke come upon the scene and knock the colonel unconscious. When the Duke attempts to embrace Sylvia her dress falls from her throat revealing a purple blotch, token of the plague, which is spreading rapidly in London. The Duke and his servants tiee. The colonel stays with Sylvia. The girl pleads with the man to save himself. NOW GO ON WITH THK STORY ”fvvH H ‘ do you stay?" she asked at length in a dull voice. “Go L 3 .. go your ways, sir, and leave me to die. It is, I think* S.U that remains to do. And ... and I think that I shall die the easier without you:- company.” He stepped back as if she had struck him. He made as if to answer her; then his parted lips came together again, his chin sank until it touched his breast. He turned and, with dragging feet, walked slowly out of the room, softly closing the door. She lay there invaded suddenly hy i great fear. She strained her ears to catch the sound of his footsteps in the passage, until finally the slamming of the door leading to the street announced to her that, taking her at her word, he was gone, indeed. And now she flung - herself prone upon the davbed, and sobbed aloud until the searing pain in her breast conquered even her self-pity, and stretched her writhing in agony as if upon a rack. At last a merciful unconsciousness supervened. And meanwhile Holies was moving mechanically and instinctively at speed up Sermon Lane ir. the direction of Paul's. Without hat or cloak. his empty scabbard dangling like a limp tail

about his legs, he sped onward, a ; man half-distracted, with but a vague j notion of his object and none of the | direction in which its fufillment would be likeliest. As he was approaching Carter Lane, a lantern came : dancing like a will-o’-the-wisp round the coiyer to meet him, and presently the dark outline of the man who carI ried it grew visible. This man walked with the assistance of a staff, which at olose quarters, the lantern’s rays | revealed to be red in color. With a r gasp of xelief, Holies - flung forward toj ward him. “Keep your distance, sir! Keep i your distance!" a voice warned him ! out of the gloom. “ ’Ware infection." But Holies went recklessly on until the long red wand was raised and pointed toward him to arrest his adi vance. “Are you mad. sir?" the man cried ; sharply. Holies could make out now ' jmm BOTH W'KRK DRKSSED IN BLACK. the pallid outline of his face, which the broad brim of his steeple-hat had hitherto kept almost entirely in shadow. "I am an examiner of infected houses.” "It is as I h. ~e 1," panted Holies ... “that yours mighty be some such office. I -seed doctor, myi. quickly, for one who is taken with the plague.” The examiner's manner became brisk at once. "Where?" he demanded. Close at hand here, in Knight Ryder i Street." “Why, then. Dr. Beamish, there at the corner, is your man. Come.” And thus if happened that, front the sleep which had succeeded the swoon that so mercifully whelmed her senses. Nancy was aroused hv a sound ;of steps and voices. Where she lay faced the door of the rom. And as ! through bilious of mist tha now rolled , before her eyes, she saw the tall figure of Colonel Holies enter followed by two strangers. One of these was a little ! birdlike matt of middle age; the other was young- and of a broad frame and i a full countenance. Both were dressed jln black* and each carried the red : wand which the law prescribed. * The younger man, who was the exi aminer met by Holies in Sermon Lane, came no farther than the threshold. , He was holding close to his nostrils a cloth that gave out a vinegary sell, and his jaws worked vigorously the while, for he was chewing a j stick of snakeroot as a further measure of prevention. Meanwhile, his companion, who was that name Dr. Beamish he had recommended, api proached the patient and made a swift. ! practiced, and silent examination.

The physician held her wrist for a moment in his bony fingers, the middle one upon her pulse. Next he care fully examined the biotch upon her throat. Finally he raised first one of her arms anti then the other, whilst Holies at hie bidding held the candlebranch so as to cast the light into the armpit. A grunt escaped him upon theh discovery of a swelling in the right oi^| “This Q unusually soon,” he said. “It is seldom before the third day that there is such a manifestation.” At his elbow Holies spoke in a toneless voice: “Does it does it mean that her.case is beyond hope?” The physician looked at him “Dum vivimus, speremus,” said he “Her case need not be hopeless any more than another's. Much depends upon the energy with which the disease is fought.” He saw the flash of Holies £yes at that, as through the Colonel's mind sped the vow that if it was a matter ot a fight he was there to wage It. “Much depends upon that. But more—indeed all —upon God. my friend." He spoke to Holies as to a husband, for that, indeed, was the relationship in which he conceived him to stand to the afflicted lady. “If suppuration of that swelling can be induced. recovery is possible. More I cannot say To induce that suppuration infinite pains and tireless labor may be necessary.” “She may depend on that,” said Holies. The physician nodded. “Nurses.” he added slowly, “are scarce and difficult to procure. 1 will do my best to find you one as soon as possible. Until then you wiU have to depend entirely upon yourself.” “I am ready.” “So much the better, then. And now. my friend, there is no time to lose. Speed In applying remedies is often all. She must be brought as quickly as may be into a free and full perspiration and for that she must be gol to bed without delay. If her life is to he saved, you must get

to work at once.” “Tell me but what to do. sir.” “Not only that: I come prepared I to leave you all that you will require.” He produced a bulky package from his pocket, and, beckoning Holies to the table, there opened it, and enumerated the lesser packages It contained and the purposes of each. “Here Is a stimulating with which you will rub the swelling in the armpit every two hours. Thereafter von will apply to it a poultice of mallows, linseed and palm oil. Here is mithrldatc. of which you will administer a dose as an alexipharmic, andfftwo hours later you will give her a poes*t drink of Canary and spirits

Make a fire of sea-coal in her bedroom, and heap ail available blankets upon her, that she may throw out as much as may be of the poison in perspiring. “For tonight, if you do that, you wiU have done all that can be done. I shall return very early in the morning, and we will consider further measures.” When Holies'; disregarding the physician’s aid, had, single-handed, oarried her to the room above, she recovered

Sufficiently to demand that she should be left to herself; and, despite her obvious weakness, Dr. Beamish concurred that to permit her to have her own way In the matter would be to make the more speed in the end. The effort of undressing, ho.vever, so exhausted her and awoke such torturing pains that, when at last she got to bed, she lay there, panting, reduced to a state of utter prostration. Thus Holies and the physician found her on their return. Dr. Beamish placed upon a table at the foot

The doctor had succeeded beyond all his hopes in his quest of a nursekeeper, and he brought her with him to the house in Knight Ryder St., on the morrow of Nancy’s taking ill —a lean, capable, good-natured, heullke a woman of forty. But for all her competency and willingness, had this Mrs. Dalows been alone in charge of the patient, it is long odds that Nancy would quickly have succumbed.
