BEGIN HEBE TODAY Colonel Holies, soldier and adventurer. returns to England. his native land, when war with Holland is declared. His Grace of Buckingham hires Holies to abduct the a egress. Sylvia Farquharsou. It is dark when the Colonel carries her to the house Buckingham has rented. Upon their arrival Holies is horrified to see that Sylvia is an old sweetheart. 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. Holies nurses Sylvia and saves her Hfe. Holies is ashamed and flees from Sylvia in the night. Sylvia engages to nurse the plague victims. When Holies is brought to the hospital she nurses him back to life. NOW GO ON WITH THK STORY ft yd ITHIN less than a week he was I yyl Ufoot, regraining strength, and * * pronounced clear of the infection. Yet, before they would suffer him to depart into the world again, he must undergo the period sequestration that the law prescribed, so as to ensure against his conveying the infection to others. For this he was to be removed from the pest-house to a neighboring abode of rest and convalescence. When the hour of departure came, he went to take his leave of Nancy, she awaited him on the lawn under the tall old cedars of Lebanon that graced the garden of this farm which had been converted to the purposes of a hospital. There was a stone seat near at hand there In the shade, and she sank limply down upon this whilst he stood beside Tier awaiting her dismissal He was very plainly clad, In garments which she had secretly caused to be procured for him, but which he supposed to be the parting gift of the harltable pest-house authorities. She controlled herself to ask him -teadily: “What are you going to do? Where shall you go when . . . when he month is past?” He smiled and shrugged a little. “I have not yet considered fully,’ he tnswered her In actual words, whilst his tone conveyed that he had neither hought nor cared of what might follow.

long moment there was silence. Then she spoke again, calmly, almost formally, marshaling the points of an argument that she had well considered. * “You remember that day when we talked, you and I. in that house in Knight Ryder Street, just after my recovery? When I would have thanked you for my life, you rejected it, persuaded that I was moved only by gratitude for the life you had saved; that I sought by that forgiveness to discharge the debt in which you had placed me.” “It was so,’’ he said, "and it is so. It cannot be otherwise.” “Can it not? Are you so very sure?” One upward appealing glance she flashed him as she asked the question. “As I am sure that out of your sweet charity you deceive yourself,” he answered. “Do I? Let us say that I did. But if you say that I still do. then you are

I j no longer owe you anything. I have | repaid you: therefore I am no longer j under any necessity to be grateful ! You cannot deny that.” “I would not if I could. ’’ “Then, don't you see? Without indebtedness between us, no longer under any obligation to you, I have j given you my forgiveness freely. 1 frankly, and fully. Your offense, after j all, was not really against me . | “It was. It was.” he interrupted | fiercely. "It was against you inas j much as it was against my own honor. It made me unworthy.” “Even so, you had my complete forgiveness from the mpment that I j came to know how cruelly you had j been driven.” A little flush came to stain the pal-1 lor which his illness had left upon ! his cheeks. He bowed his head. “I bless you for those words. They j will give me courage to face . . . whatever may await me. I shall treasure the memory of them, and of your sweetness always.” “But still you do not believe me:” she cried out. “Still you think that behind it all there are some dregs of ; . . . of . . . resentment in my heart:’’ | “No, no. Nan, I believe you.” “And yet you will persist in going?” “What else? You who know all • now must see that there is no place for me in England.” She drew from the bodice of heT gown a rubbed and faded tasSeled glove. She held it out to him, looking up at him. and he saw that her eyes were wet. "Here is something that belongs to you. at least. Take it, Randal, j Take it, since it is all that you will ! have of me.” Almost in hesitancy he took that little glove, still warm and fragrant from sweet contact with her, and retained also the hand that proffered It. "It ... it shall again be a talisman,” he said softly, "to keep me worthy as ... as it did not keep me once.” Then he bowed over the hand lie held, and pressed it to his Ups. “Good-by, and God guard you even Nan.” He would have disengaged his hand, but she clutched it firmly now. “Randal!” she cried sharply, desperately driven to woo this man who would not woo her despite her clear invitation. In gentle, sorrowing rebuke she added: “Can you, them, really think of leaving me again?” His face assumed the pallor of death, and his limbs trembled under him. He disengaged his hand from her clasp at last. "Oh, why do you try me, Nan?” he cried out. like a man in pain. "God knows you can not ’need me. What have I to offer —I that am as bankrupt of fortune as of honor?” “Do women love men for what they bring?” she asked him. He looked at her steadily now, a man redeemed, driven back into the hard ways of honor by the scourge of all that had befallen him. Abruptly he swung on his heel, and left her, so abruptly, indeed, that his departure took her by surprise, found h*r without a word in whloh to stay him. CHAPTER XXVIII Jesting Fortune Jesting fortune had not yet done with Colonel Holies. A month later, toward the middle of September, without having seen Nancy again—since that, of course, would have been denied him, as it would have nullified his sequestration from Infected persons and surroundings—he found himself at liberty to return to the ordinary haunts of man, supplied with a certificate of health. So within an hour of his discharge he found himself tramping along the empty streets of the city, bound for distant Wapping. He must go afoot, not only because he lacked the means to go otherwise, but because there were no longer any boats plying for hire at any of the steps along the river, nor any hackney-coaches remaining in the streets. More than ever was London become a city of the dead.

On through that desolate emptiness he tramped In the noontide heat, which still continued as intense as through the months that were past of that exceptional summer, until he came t othe Fleet Ditch. Here it was th*t he bethought him of The Harp in Wood St., where he had lodged, and of its landlord, the friendly Banks, who at some risk to himself had warned him that the messengers of the law were on his heels. So in the direction of Wood St. he now turned his steps.

He found it muoh as other streets. Hot more than one shop in four was standing open, and trade in these wa Idle and stagnant. Proctor's famous ordinary at the sign of The Mitre —the most reputed eating-house in London —was closed and shuttered. He regarded this as an evil omen. But he passed on, and came presently to stand before the more modest Harp. He could scarcely believe his eyes when t he saw its windows clean and open, its door flung wide.

He crossed the threshold, and turned into the common room on hie left. The room was clean-swept, Its long deal tables were well scoured; but trade was slack, for the place contained a single occupant, a man in an apron who' stared up from a wooden armchair in which he had been doling, with an ejaculation of: “As God's my life, . customer!” Holies stared at him and the man stared back at Holies. It was Banks, the vintner hiriiseylf. “Colonel Holloa!” be oM. "Oa ia,

"Maybe, but our gullets ain’t ghostly, praise the Lord! And there's still some sack left at The Harp. Shall we have a bottle of medicine, Colon’el?’ “I'd say yes, with all my heart.

Banks fetched the wine, and poured It. "A plague on the plague, is the toast,” said he, and they drank it. “ ’Sllfe, Cqlonel. but I am glad to see you alive. I feared the worst for you.

I’ve had the plague*’ “The devil you have. And ye’ve won through!" Banks regarded him with anew respect.
