Sylvia F arau ah arson. It is dark when the Colonel carries her to the house Buckingham has rented. Upon his arrival Jiolles is horrified to see Sylvia is an did sweetheart. Buckingham and Holies engage in a duel. The servants of the Duke render the colonel unconscious When Buckingham attempts to embrace Sylvia her dress falls from her throat, revealing a purple blotch, token of the plague. The Duke and his servants flee. !m>s nurses Sylvia and eaves her life. When the doctor pronounces her out of danger Holies leaves the house at night. The doctor goes with Sylvia to her old home. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY mHE three rooms that had composed her home were situated on the first floor, and as they ascended to the landing they say the three doors standing open. Two of the chambers were shuttered, and, therefore, in darkness; but the drawing room, which directly faced the stair head, was all in sunlight, and even before they entered it they had a picture of the devastation wrought there. The furniture was not merely disarranged; it was rudely tumb'ed, some of it broken, and some was missing altogether. The secretaii-e stood open, its lock broken, its con tents rifled, a litter of payers tossed upon and about it. Dr Beamish and the lady stood in silence just within the doorway for a long moment, contemplating that dreadful havoc. Then Miss Sylvester moved swiftly forward to the secretaire, in an inner drawer of which Bhe had left a considerable sum of money—representing most of her immediate resources. That inner drawer had been wrenched open; the money was gone. “What am I to do? Where am I to turn?” she asked, and almost at once supplied the “I had better go from this accursed place at once. I have an old aunt living in Charmouth. I will return to her.” She had also, she added, certain moneys in the hands of a banker near Charing Cross. Once she should have withdrawn these there would

t be nothing to keep her in London. : But the doctor gently restrained her. It must be almost certain that the banker she named would temporarily have suspended business and withdrawn himself from a place in which panic and confusion had made an end of commerce for the present. It would be with difficulty that out of London she would find any one to give her shelter. The realization of this unsuspected thing, that she was doomed to imprisonment in this dreadful city which seemed abandoned alike by God and man, inhabited only by the unfortunate and the unclean, a city of dead and dying, drove her almost to the uttermost limits of despair. The doctor set a comforting arm about her shoulders. “You are not A MAX ADVANCED HOLDING A FLAMING LINK ABOVE HIS HEAD. utterly alone,” he assured her gently. “I am still here, to serve you, my dear, and I am your friend.” “My friend. It is beyond considerations. Who can help me now?" “It is in helping others that we best help ourselves,” he explained. “Yes. yes. But how does it lie in my power now to do this?” “In several ways, my dear. I will tell you of one. By. God's mercy and the loving heroism of a fellow-crea-ture you have been cured of the plague, and by that cure you have been rendered what is commonly known as a ‘safe woman’—a person immune from infection who may move without fear among those who suffer from the pestilence. Nurse-keepers are very' difficult to find.” He paused, peering at her short-sightedly through his spectacles.

CHAPTER XXVI The Dead-Cart Had you asked Colonel Holies in after-life how he had spent the week that followed immediately upon his escape from the house in Knight Ryder St., he could have supplied you with only the vaguest and most incomplete of accounts. Without definite destination, or even aim beyond that of putting as great a distance as possible between himself and Knight Ryder St., Holies came by way of Carter Lane into Paul’s Yard. There he hung a moment hesitating—for a man may well hesitate when all directions are as one to him; then he struck eastward, down Watling St., finally plunging into the labyrinth of narrow alleys to the north of it. Here he might have wandered until broad daylight, but that, lost in the heart of that daedel, he was drawn by sounds of revelry to t narrow door, from under which a ;,iade of light was stretched across "he cobbles of the street. Two drunken roisterers, lurching forth, paused a moment, surprised, at ’he sight of him, arrested there. Then, .vith drunken inconsequence they fell t:pon him, took him each by an arm, and dragged him, weakly resisting, ver the threshold of that unclean den, amid shouts of insensate, hi lari cus welcome from its inhabitants. When presently the Colonel's eyes had grown accustomed to the light, he took stock of his surroundings. He found himself in a motley gathering of evil-looking, raffish men, and no less evil-looking women. In all there may have been some thirty of them huddled there together in that comparatively restricted space. Holies surveyed them with cold dlssust, whilst they stared questloningly back at him. He yielded to the inevitable. He had a few pieces in his pocket, and, he spent one of these on burnt sack before that wild company broke tip, snd its members crept to their homes, like rats to their burrows, in the paie light of dawn. Thereafter he hired a bed from the vintner, and slept until close upon noon. Having broken his fast upon a dish of salt herrings, he wandered forth grain, errant and aimless. He won through a succession of narrow, unclean alleys Into the eastern end of Cheapside, and stood, there, aghast to survey the change that the month had wrought. In that thoroughfare, usually the busiest In London, he found emptiness and silence. His nights were invariably spent at the sign of the Flagon in that d.smal alley off Watling St- into which merest chance had led him in the first instance. He turned up toward St. Paul's, his steps echoing in the noontide through the empty street as echo at night the steps of some belated reveler. Albemarle, he learnt from a stray sailor with whom he talked, was still at the Cockpit. True to his character, Honest George Monk remained grimly at his post unmoved by danger. Holies was tempted to seek him, but the temptation was not very strong upon him, and he withstood it. Such a visit would but waste the time of a man who had no time to waste; therefore. Albemarle was hardly likely to give him a welcome. The end came abruptly one night—the seventh that he had spent in that lewd haunt of recklessness —he drank more d< eply even than his deep habit. Asa consequence when at the host's bidding he lurched out into the dark alley, the last of all those roisterers to depart, his wits were drugged to the point of insensibility. Without apprehension or care of the direction in which he was mov-

Ing, he came into WatUng Street, crossed It, plunged into a narrow alley on the southern side and reeled blindly onward until his feet struck an obstacle in their unconscious path. He pitched over it, and fell forward heavily upon his face. latching the "1U and strength to rise again, he lay whdre he had fallen, and and sank there into a lethargic sleep. A half-hour passed.

peated at intervals might have been i audible and Intelligible to Holies had he been conscious. Nearer rang the cry upon the silent night "Bring out your dead!’’ The vehicle halted ait the mouth of the alley In which the Colonel lay, and a man advanced, holding a flaming link above his head so as 1 to cast its ruddy glare hither and thither to search the dark corners of that byway. This man beheld two bodies stretched upon the ground; the

the dead-cart. Then the two of them, on their knees made an examination of the body, or rather of such garments as were upon it, "Not much trouble over here, Carry,” said one. ' . They rose, took down their hooks, and seizing the body by them they swung it up into the vehicle. "Fetch the prancer nearer,” said Nick, as he turned and stepped toward Holies. The horse was led forward some few paces, so that the light from the cart now fell more fully

upon the Colonel’s long supine figure. Nick went <Jown on one knee beside him, and uttered a grunt of satisfaction. “This is better.’’ His fellow came to peer over his shoulder. "A gentry-cove, damme!” he swore with horrible satisfaction. Their practiced ghoulish lingers went swiftly over Holies, and they chuckled obscenely at sight of the half-dozen gold pieces displayed in Carry's filthy paw. "Not much else,” grumbled one .after a further inspection.

“There’s his sword —a rich hilt; look,; Larry.” "And there’s a fine pair o’ stampers,” said Larry, who was already busy about the Colonel’s feet. “Lend a hand, Nick." They pulled the boots off and made a bundle of them, together with the Colonel’s hat and cloak. This bundle Larry dropped Into a basket that hung behind the cart, whilst Nick remained to strip Holies of his doublet. Suddenly he paused. (Continued fat our next Issued
