Of course, euch testimony'ls not that of a disinterested party and accordingly is not to be given the same credit as If written from disinterested motives. Dr. i'lerre's medicines, however, form a elngle and therefore striking exception to this rule. Their claims to tu confidence of Invalids does not rest solely upon their makers' say - so or praise.

pe Courcy threw back bis head and laughed, unheeding and indeed unnoticlng the angry color mounting in a face that had grown suddenly stern. "My dear comradp, there are other relationships between a young man and a handsome woman than the ties of kinship. But those days are long past, and I should never have recalled them had it not been that you two have been traveling about the country together, I make no doubt, with an innocence that recalls the sylvan daya olS yore." "Tell me. in plain words what this relationship was to which you have referred." "First answer me a question. Are you betrothed to Frances Went worth?" "No. I told you I acted the brother's part to-ward her in this Journey." "Oh, vve all say that. But 1 am not in the least curious. If you Intended to marry her, then were my mouth sealed. Very well, since you will have it, and I take your word as a gentleman pledged that you will say nothing to the girl of this until you are clear of Oxford. Know that I was once her betrothed. She was to have been my wife, and would have been my wife today had her father not fallen." "Your wife!" "Yes. Her father gave me permission to pay my court to her. She could not have been much more than sixteen then, and I was her first lover, a personage that a girl never forgets. Her father's ruin changed my plans, and I refused to marry ber. I announced this refusal to ber in the seclusion of my own room In Whitehall and" "Sir. you lie!" Armstrong's sword seemed to spring of its own will from the scabbnrd, and his band drew it a-swlsh through the air with the hiss of a deadly serpent. The Frenchman shrugged his shoulders, but did not move. The three words of his opponent had been spoken very quietly, despite his impulsive action. De Courcy did not raise his voice as be asked: "Which of my statements do you question ?' "No matter for that. We fight on this phrase in Scotland. No man ever called me liar and lived." "'Tis n coarse phrase, I admit, and did I not represent my king were I as free as yotu-you should have bad my response in steel ere this. But I cannot wreck the king in a private quarrel of my own. Whether you killed me or I you. 'twould" be equally' drsastrous to his iuajesty." "I care nothing for the king. Draw, you poltroon, or I shall kill you where you sit." "My dear Armstrong, I refuse to be murdered under a misapprehension on your part. I have said nothing against the girl. 'Tis all your own hot biood. And indeed your brawling is the girl's greatest danger; she might well tremble if she knew your present occupation. If you run your nimble sword through me, you give the girl to the fate that befell her father." At the first word of danger to Frances the point of Armstrong's blade sank to the floor, and he stood hesitating. A gleam of triumph gliuted and died in the eye of the Frenchman. He knew he was the victor, although the chance he had run at one stage of the game almost made his heart stop beating. "How can any action of mine jeopardize Lady Frances Wcntworth?" "If the king knew this girl was with, in his Jurisdiction, she would be instantly arrested, tried and condemned. She entered Whitehall the day her father was executed for the sole purpose of murdering Charles. I prevented the carrying out of that purpose, and these scars on my face are the results of my interference with a maddened woman." "Again, you lie, yet if she bad killed you both she would have accomplished but Justice." "A.s to the truth or falsity of my statements, regarding which you make comments of unseemly terseness, you may aslr the king when you see him. or you may ask the lady herself when you get her out of Oxford. If you precipitate a turmoil here, you are like to tumble ber. pretty head in the basket. When this war Is done with I will go far to teach you the correct method of addressing a gentleman." Armstrong's sword dropped into scabbard again, and he drew a breath that was a sigh. The poison was already at work. He remembered the distress of the girl on the road, and her wail, "I am not worthy the love of any honest man." "I shall never question her or any other, but will believe her lightest word against the world when she condescends to tell me. Meanwhile I shall get her out of this thieves' den as soon as may be, and when I meet you" De Courcy had risen, and now bowed slightly to his perturbed guest. "Sir, you shall meet me at 12, and it will be my privilege to conduct you to bis majesty. Good morning." lie stood by the window overlooking the quadrangle and watched his late visitor cross it, staggering .pnee as if he had partaken freely of the wine which remained untasted on the table.As the Scot disappeared under the archway De Courcy laughed. "My fine, strutting cockerel," he muttered, "I'll lay you by the heels before two days are past Cromwell's at Broughton, curse his tattling tongue. How many more has he told of me? Never mind. He's the coming man. The king's game is up, and I shake the dust of Oxford from my feet tonight St. Denis, if she had only known! Every man in Oxford distrusts me except the king." When Armstrong was brought before Charles he found no difficulty in convincing the king that he was a well accredited envoy, and his majesty inquired eagerly about' the dlsDositian of

riie tscotusn people toward liini, the number likely to take the field in his behalf, who their probable leaders were, and how soon they would be ready for the fray. All these questions Armstrong answered as hopefully as he could, in deep commiseration for a defeated man. The king commanded one of his secretaries to write out the required commission, and while this was being done Armstrong related to him the purport of the papers which he bad not dared to bring with him. The names of the nobles were inserted in the document from the dictation of the Scot, then the king's seal was affixed and Charles signed the parchment. He seemed in feverish haste to get the business done with, as if every moment lost was irreparable. When the ink was dried and the parchment folded Armstrong placed it in safe keeping within his vest. While thus engaged the king said a word to the secretary, who handed him a light rapier, then whispered to the messenger the single word "kneel." The Scot flushed to think he had been wanting in the etiquette of the court, his kind heart yearning to proffer any deference which should be rendered to a monarch, more especially that he was no longer in a position to enforce homage. He dropped on one knee and bowed his head. Charles, rising, touched the rapier blade lightly upon the shoulder of the kneeling man, saying: "Rise, Sir William Armstrong, and be assured that if you bring this poor signature of mine to Scotland, there is no title in my gift you may not demand of me." Armstrong rose, awkward as a school boy, not knowing where to look or what to say until he caught the cynical smile of De Courcy standing at the right hand of the king. "I congratulate you. Sir William," said the Frenchman. The sight of the smile aroused the new hatred against the man which was smoldering in his heart, and he made no reply to the greeting, but said to the king: "Sire, the only thanks I can tender you is haste to the north, and may God make my arm as strong to defend this signature as my heart is true to your majesty." With that he turned his back upon royalty, a grievous breach in the eyes of courtiers, and fled. "God grant it," said the king, with a ligh, as he sank once more in the seat "trom whence he had risen. TTTTere Is no ffOuTJt " or tt," saTCT T)e Courcy softly. "Doubt of what?" asked the king. "The oath he took will sit lightly on his conscience. He prayed that his arm's strength might equal bis heart's fealty. I distrust those who talk glibly of their hearts, and his was a most ambiguous prayer." "Surely if ever honesty beamed from a man's face it was from Armstrong's. The Scots are trustworthy men." "Some of theni; your majesty." Uneasy suspicion came into the sunken eyes of the king as he turned them on his chamberlain. j "What do you fear, De Courcy?" "I have been studying the man these three days past. I accepted without question his assurances, and threw him off bis guard. Cromwell loves an honest looking envoy, and from what Armstrong said I am sure he saw Cromwell no farther away than Northampton He was very ready with, his account of his own country people, but he told us nothing about the marvelous luck that brought him safely through a hostile land, which we know to our cost is admirably patrolled." "If you knew this man to be a traitor or an emissary of that rebel, why did you bring him into our presence?" "I could not be sure of him, your majesty, and there was always a chance that he was loyal and might get through." "To raise my hopes like this and then dash them to the ground!" "Not so, jour majesty, if you will pardon me. Do you place importance on this commission?" "The utmost importance. I know Traquair, and he will raise all Scotland for me if this commission reach him." "Then we will mak siccar, as a famous Scot once said." "Ah, De Courcy, that was said when a treacherous murder was intended. How will you make sure that Armstrong is honest?" "I should trouble no more about Armstrong, but if you will issue a duplicate of that commission I will guarantee that it reaches the hand of Traquair. I am a Frenchman and a subject of the French king. I carry my passport to that effect. Even if I am stopped I shall resist search on the ground of my nationality, and Cromwell is too greatly iu awe of the power of France to risk Its might being thrown in the scale against him. Indeed I doubt if I could offer a greater service to your majesty than to be captured and appeal to Louis." The king's faee cleared. "You would not 6top Armstrong then?" "Assuredly not. If his copy gets into Cromwell's hands he may slacken his alertness and not be on the outlook for a duplicate. As I said before, there is a chance the Scot plays fair, but two commissions in the hands of Traquair will do co harm, and we mak siccar." "You are in the right, and your advice is always of the best. How soon will you be ready to leave?" "This very moment, your majesty. There is no time to be lost." "True! True! True!" Then to the secretary: "Write another. Do you remember the names? "Yes, your majesty. I hare them here on a slip." De Courcy bade farewell to the king, who urged him to return as soon as horse could bring him, and went to bis room to prepare for his journey, the duplicate commission following baa thaw-

Armstrong strode to tiie inn, sped up the stair and .knocked at the door by the landing... Frances herself opened it, the determination on her face to refuse admission to any other" than he melting Into, a weicome as she greeted him. "My girl, are you ready for the north?" "Yes, yes, ready and eager. Have you seen the king?" "I have, and his royal signature rests over my heart." The Joy fled from the girl's face; she turned and walked with uncertain steps to the table. A hope had arisen that the venomous De Courcy would have prejudiced the king against the young man and that the hateful task of robbery would not be required. But now this last refuge bad failed. She strove not to weep. "If you would rather not go until tomorrow," said Armstrong, "I can wait, but, lassie. I'm desperate anxious to leave Oxford as soon as possible. We will not travel farther than Banbury tonight." "I am ready," she replied, with forced firmness.

CHAPTER XXIV. TfHHE road between Oxford and Banbury is the most peaceful I of thoroughfares, laid with rea sonable directness, gently undulating in parts, passing through quiet villages and a sweet country, mildly beautiful, yet to the mind of Frances Wentworth this innocent highway ever remained, as it were, a section of the broad path to perdition. In after life she never thought of it but with a creepy sensation of horror. Despondency seemed to be the portion of William Armstrong as well ns of his fair companion. She surmised that he was pondering on the events which had happened when their faces were set south over this course, and in part she was right, but the thoughts which rankled in his mind were those Implanted by De Courcy, and the wily Frenchman bad been accurate enough in his belief that the young man's pleasure in the northward journey would be spoiled. He could not bring himself to ask any explanation from the girl, nor even tell her what De Courcy had said, for he saw that already a weight of woe oppressed her, and to that burden he would not 'add pressure of the slightest word. He possessed a supreme confidence her and only feared that Bhe bad loved this runagate once and that some remnant of this long ago affection still remained. Her own words before they reached Oxford, her own action during the encounter fronting the Crown inn, disturbed him far more than the insinuations of the Frenchman. He strove to rid himself of 'these thoughts, but they were very intrusive and persistent. At last with an effort he roused himself and cried with feigned hilarity: "Frances, we travel like two mutes. The influence of saddened Oxford is still upon us both. We are long out of sight of the town, so let Us be done with all remembrance of it. The meet ing with the king this morning has stirred me up to a great pity for him, but vexed meditations on his case are no help either to him or to us. The spur is the only weapon I can wield for him now, so let us gallop and cry, 'God save the king!' " With that they raced together for a time and were the better of it. He had become almost eheerfu again when the spires of Banbury came into view, and thanked fortune that the first stage of their march was safely over. They found old John and his pack horse both ready for the road again, and Armstrong was plainly loath to let such a fine evening slip by without further progress, but Frances seemed so wan and worn that he had not the heart to propose a more distant stopping place, and, with a sigh, he put up his horse for the night. While he was gone the innkeeper came furtively to Frances, and, after seeing the pass, led her to the prepared room and showed her the door. Much against her will, Armstrong insisted upon her coming to supper with him, although she protested she had no appetite, and indeed sat opposite him forlorn and could not touch a morsel. In vain he urged her to eat, but she shook her 'head, avoiding his glance and keeping her eyes downcast. "My girl," he said anxiously, "you are completely tired. I see that you are on the point of being ill if better care is not taken. Rest here a few days, I beg of you. Eager as I am to be forward, I will stay if you wish to have me near you, or I will push on and come back for you." "I shall be well enough in the morn ing, most like. I am tired tonight." "And dispirited too." "Yes, and dispirited. You will excuse me, I know." Frances rose to her feet, but seemed so faint that ,she leaned against the table for support. He was by her side at once. "My sweet lass, I am so sorry for you. Tell me what I can do ,for you and on my soul my life is yours if you require it." "No, no! Heaven grant you take no hurt for my sake." He slipped his arm about her waist and would have drawn her toward him, but with more strength than, he had expected her to possess she held away. His great love for her almost overcame him and all the prudence he had gathered was scattered suddenly to the winds. "Dear, dear lass, one touch of our lips and see if all doubts do not dissolve before the contact." Now she wrenched herself free and would have escaped but that he-sprang forward and caught her by the wrists, a grip she was to remember later in the night. In spite of this prisoning, her hands were raised to the sides of her face and a look of such terror shot from her eyes that he feared some madness had come upon her. "Not that! Not that!" she shrieked. "The kiss of Judas! It would kill me." His arms dropped paralyzed to his sides and he stepped back a pace, amazed at the expression she had -used and the terror of her utterance. Next instant he was alone and the closed door between them. Still he stood Where ah? had left him. "The kiss of Judas!" he muttered. "The kiss of Judas! She loves him, thinks me his friend, trying to take Judas advantage of him because we

are alone together. De Courcy spoke ' truth. Woe is me, she loves him, and I, blind fool O God. pity that poor girl and this insanity of passion wasted on so rank a cur!" Frances fled to her room and threw herself on the bed in an agony of tears. This storm subsided into a gentle rain of subdued weeping and finally ceased as she heard the heavy tramp of riding boots in the adjoining roota. She sat up in the darkness, listening intently. He closed the wooden shutters of the window, shaking them to be sure that their fastenings were secure. Then the bolts of the outer door were thrust into their places, but this apparently failing to satisfy the doubts of the inmate, there was a sound of some heavy article of furniture being dragged across the room; then the tramping ceased and all was still. Unheeding she lieard the clock in a neighboring tower toll the hour; now it struck again and she counted the notes. Eleven! It waa Btill too early. People slept heavier as the night wore on. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven! It must be midnight, and the first five strokes had been on Cromwell's breastplate. She roused herself and attempted to take off her shoes, but her hands were trembling so she was forced to desist. She sat up again, telling herself it was better to wait until all effect of the long chiming had ceased, for the striking of twelve sometimes disturbed or awakened the soundest sleeper. The clock tower seemed dangerously near, as if it were approaching her hour by hour. At last the shoes came off, and in stockinged feet she stood by the secret door, waiting till, the frightfully rapid beating of her heart should moderate. It threatened to choke her. Then she slid back the bar and drew open the door, all so smoothly oiled that there was not the whisper of a creak. She tiptoed into the cavern of blackness and silence, holding her spread bunds in front of her, moving slowly, with th utmost caution, step by step. In her mind she had estimated, from her earlier survey of the room, that nine steps would take her to the bed. Now she realized she had taken a dozen and yet had not come to it. She stood bewildered and listened. The helplessness of a person in the pitch dark thrilled her with a new fear, upsetting all her calculations. The panic of pulsation in her throat and in her ears at first rendered any attempt at listening futile, but at last she heard his regular breathing, as peaceful as that of an infant, and it came from the other side of the room. For a moment this terrified her and she wondered if she were really awake or in the mazes of some baffling nightmare, but the solution came to her mind and quieted the growing agitation. It had been his bed that he had dragged across the floor, and he was now sleeping against the outside door. She changed her direction and, with her former stealth, came ghostlike to the edge of the couch. His doublet was open at the throat; that was so much to the good. Like a snowflake in its coldness and its lightness her hand stole down underneath his vest, fluttered by the slow, steady, subdued beating of his heart, running no such wild race as her own at that moment. It seemed incredible that at last her fingers closed on the parchment, but there it lay, and gently she drew it forth. Was the robbery to be so easily accomplished after all? Ah, she had congratulated herself too soou. It stuck fast. Either the silken cord that bound it was caught or the document was secured to the vest, a contingency she had never thought of, and yet what more natural? Twice she tugged it gently, then a third time more strenuously, when it came unexpectedly away and her knuckles struck the sleeper under the chin. Instantly, like the snap of a steel trap," his fingers closed upon her wrist, and his voice rang out as wideawake and clear as ever he had spoken to her: "Frances!" Now the racing heart stopped dead. Lucky for her that at this supreme moment all action was impossible? and that she was stricken into frozen marble. She imagined he was awake and knew her, and then the cold horror of her situation numbed thought at its source. "Frances!" The voice came more sleepily this time, and he repeated thrice, very rapidly, "Frances, Frances, Frances!" Feebly her heart had taken up its work again. She was not to die as she had feared. Sodden with drowsiness, his voice rambled on. ,Then the words became indistinct and died away. But alas, the grip of iron remained on her wrist. For a long time she stood there motionless, then' tried to disengage his fingers gently, but at the first movement the grasp tightened again. One o'clock struck. He slept so silently that it began to appear to her agitated brain that she was a prisoner of the dead. She came near to sinking from very weariness. Two o'clock tolled from the tower. Sometimes she fancied she slept standing there, but her five jailors did not sleep. She kept wondering in which direction lay the open door, for at times the room seemed to swim around her, thus disturbing all sense of locality. She almost laughed aloud when she thought of herself free, but groping helplessly for the open door, failing to find it, and she shuddered that even the remembrance of laughter should come to her at such a time. Surely a sign of approaching frenzy. Then it seemed the fingers loosened, but hand and wrist had lost all feeling, and she could not be sure. She tottered and nearly fell. When she stood upright again she was free; he muttering to himself and his hand slashing undirected on the mattress as if it missed something it sought drunkenly to recover. The girl could scarce repress a cry of joy at ber release. She moved eagerly in the path that should lead her to the door, but, hurrying too much, came upon his jackboots on the floor and fell helplessly, so overwrought that even when her feet touched them she could not draw back. "Who's there? Who's in this room?" cried Armstrong. She was standing again, fully expecting to hear his feet on the floor, but the bell struck three, and he counted dreamily and all was still again. When she reached her room she closed and barred the door as silently as she had opened it The tension relaxed, she felt she was going to swoon. Blindly she groped for her shoes, murmuring, "O God, not yetnot yet! Give me a moment more." Fading her footgear aj: last she dared

She heard a horse champing his bit, then a whisper came out of the darkness: "Is that you at last, madam?" "Yes," she said, sinking on the doorstep and leaning ber head against the lintel, the cold stone grateful to her hot forehead. "You are not hurt, madam?" inquired the man anxiously. "No, no," she gasped, then, with an eldritch little laugh, "I want to put on, my shoes, that's all." (Continued Tomorrow.)
