I doing
dishes
in all its bearings with Major Robert Beverly, whom I had ever held to be
a man of judgment, he assured me that in his opinion there could no
possible ill result come to such a house
hold of women, especially when the
head of it was of such openly avowed royalist leanings. Unless, indeed, ho
admitted, the bringing over of the
arms and the powder was to be traced to Mistress Mary Cavendish.
This he said not knowing the secret
of his first wife's tomb, and I feeling,
as Indeed I was, an arch deceiver. But what other course is left open
to any man, when he can shield the one he loves best in the whole world only at the expense of some one else?
Can he do otherwise but let the other
suffer and even forfeit hip sense of plain
dealing? 'I have lived to be an old man, and verily nothing hath so grown in
the light of m experience as the impossibility of serving love, except at a loss, not only to others, but to oneself
But that truth of the greatest Impor
tance in the whole world hath also grown upon me, that love should be
served at whatever cost. I cared not then, and I care not now, who suffered and who was wronged if only
that beloved one was saved.
I went home that night from Barry
Upper Branch riding a horse which
Dick Barry lent me, on learning that
I bad come thither without one, though
not' in , what mad fashion, and Sir Humphrey "tode with r me until our
roads parted. Much gaming was "there that night after we left; we leaving the Barry a and my Lord Estes and Drake and Captain Jaynes and many others intent upon the dice, but Humphrey and I did not linger, I hav
ing naught to stake and he having promised his mother not to play.
'Sometimes I wish that I had not
so promised my mother," he said, look
ing back over his great boyish shoulder
as he rode ahead, "for sometimes I think 'tis part of the estate of a man
to put up stakes at cards and to win or lose as beseems a gentleman of Virginia and a cavalier. But, sure, Harry; a promise to a man's mother is not
to be broken lightly, and indeed she doth ask me every night when I re
turn late, and I shall see her face at the window when I ride In sight of the
great house; but faith. Harry, X would
love to win. in something; if not -In
hearts, in a throw of the dice. For, sure, I am a man grown and have never had my own. will In aught that lies near my heart."
With that he gave a great sigh, and
I. striving to cheer him and indeed
loviug the lad. replied that he was but
young and there was still time ahead.
and the will of one's heart required
often but a short corner of turning.
But he was angry again at me for
that, and cried out I knew not. for all I was loved In return, the heart of
a certain maid as well as he who was despised, and spurred his horse and
rode on ahead, and when we had
come to the division of the road, sa
luted me shortly and was gone, and
the sound of his galloping died away
in the distance, and I rode home alone
meditating.
And when I reached Drake nill a
white curtain fluttered athwart a win
dow and I caught a gleam of a white arm pu!!ii? it to plsce and knew that Mistress Mary had been watching for me I cannot say with what rapture and. triumph and- misgivings.
It was well toward morning, and indeed a faint pallor of dawn was in the east and now and then a bird was waking. Not a alave on the plantation was astir and the e-juuds of slumber were coming from the quarters. So I myself put my borrowed horse in stable and then was seeking my own room, when, passing through the ball, a white figure started forth from a shadow and caught me by the arm, and it was Catherine Cavendish. She urged me forth to the porch, I being bewildered and knowing not how, nor Indeed if it were wise, to resist her. But when we stood together there, in that hush of slumber only broken now and then by the waking love of a bird.
j and It seemed verily as if we two I were alone in the whole world, a sense
of the situation flashed upon me. I turned on my heel to re-enter the house. "Madam," I said, "this will never do. If you remain here with me your reputation" "What think you I care for my reputation ?" she whispered. "What think you? Harry Wingfield, you cannot do this monstrous thing. You cannot be so lost to all honor as to let my sister-" You cannot, and you a convict" Then indeed for the first time in my life and the last I answered a woman as If she were a man and on an equal footing of antagonism with me.
"Madam," I replied, "I will maintain my honor against your own." But she seemed to make no account of what I said. Indeed I have often wondered whether a woman when she Is In pursuit of any given end can progress by other methods than an ant, which hath no power of circuitousness and will climb over a tree with long labor and pain rather than skirt it If it come in her way. Straight at her purpose she went. "Harry, Harry," she said still in that sharp whisper, "you will not, yon cannot she is but a child." s Then before I could reply out ran Mary Cavendish herself and was close at my side, turning an angry face upon her sister. "Catherine," she cried out, "how
dare you?. I am no child. Think you
that I do not know my own mind
How dare you? Yon shall not come
between Harry and me! I am his be
r fore the whole world. I will not have
It, Catherine!"
Then Catherine Cavendish, awaken
Ing such bewilderment and dismay In me as I had never felt, looked at her
sister and said In a voice which X can
hear yet, "Have thy way then, sister
but 'tis over thy own sister's heart."
"What mean you?" Mary asked
breathlessly. "I love him!" said Catherine.
I felt the hot blood mount to my
head, and I knew what shame was.
turned to retreat. I knew not what to do, but Mary's voice stopped me. It rang out clear and pitiless with that
pitilessness of a great love. . "And what is that to me, Catherine?
she cried out. "Sure it is but to thy shame if thou hast loved unsought and
confessed unasked. And if I had ten
thousand sisters and they all In love with him, as well they might be, for
there la no one like him in the whole
world, over all their hearts would
go rather than he should miss me for
but ' a second If he loved me. Think you that aught like that can make a difference? Think you that one heart can outweigh two and the misery of one be of any account before that of
three?"
Then suddenly she looked sharply at
her sister and cried out angrily:
"Catherine Cavendish, I know what this means. Tis but another device
to part us. You love him not. You have hated him from the first. Yon have hated him, and he is no more
ernorship and bis lands, and' perhaps his head, if he went to tobacco cutting with the rest of us. He was without doubt better off on the high sea, which is a sort of neutral place of nature, beyond the reach, for the time, of mobs or scepters, unless one falls in with a black flag. - At all events, off sailed my Lord Culpeper, leaving Sir Henry Chlchely as lieutenant governor, and verily he might as well have left a weathercock as that well intentloned but pliable gentleman.

yet that effervescence of warlike spirit within me had rendered me not forgetful, but somewhat unwatchful of a
wind over him and he would wax i WOrd and a look of hers. And for the fierce to order, and well he served the j time being that sad question of our government in thu Bacon uprising, but ! estates, which forbade more than our
leave him to his own will and. bnck and forth he swung with great bluster. tut no stability. None of the colony, least of all the militia, stood in awe of Sir Henry Chichely, nor regarded him as more than a figurehead of authority when my Lord Culpeper had set sail. The morning of the day after the sailing, the people of Jamestown whom one happened to meet on the road had a strange expression of countenance, and I doubt not that a man skilled in such matters could have read as truly the signs of an eruption of those forces of human passion in the hearts of men as of an earthquake by the belching forth of smoke and fire from the mouth of a volcano. Everybody looked at his neighbor with either a glare of doubt and wariness or with covert understanding, and some there were who had a pale seriousness of demeanor from having a full comprehension of the situation and of what might come of it, though not in the least drawing back on that account, and some were all flushed and glowing with eagerness and laughing from sheer delight in danger and daring, and some were like stolid beasts of the field watching the eye of a master, ready at its wink to leap forth to the strain of.'labor or fury. Many of. these last were of our English laborers, whom I held In some sort of pity, and doubt as to whether it were jnst and merciful to draw them into
such a stew kettle, for in truth many
loves, had seemed to pale In importance before this matter of maybe the rising or falling of a new empire. Heart and soul was I in this cause and gave myself the rein as I had longed to do for the cause of Nathaniel Bacon. But Mary met me at the northern door, which opened directly on a locust thicket and was little used, and stood before me, with her beautiful face as white as a lily, but a brave light in her eyes. "Where go you, Harry?" she whispered. Then I, not knowing her fully and fearing lest I disquiet her, answered evasively somewhat about huuting and Sir Humphrey. Some reply of that tenor was necessary, as I was, besides my knife for the tobacco cutting, armed to the teeth and booted to my middle. But there was no deceiving Mary Cavendish. She seized both my hands, and I trow for the minute in that brave maiden soul of hers the selfishness of our love passed as well as with me. "I pray thee, Harry, cut down the tobacco on L,aurel Creek first," she whispered, "as I would were I a man. Oh, I would I were a man! Harry, promise me that thou wilt cut down first the tobacco on my plantation of Laurel Creek." J But I had made up my mind to touch i
neither that nor the tobacco on Drake Hill, lest in some way the women of the Cavendish family be Implicated. "There be enough and more than
pored. "I. say you shall not: l l will go to my grandmother. I will have the militia out. Harry, I say you shall not go!" - ' - . . , But then my blood was up. "Madam," I said, "go I shall, and if yon acquaint your grandmother 'twill be to her possible undoing, and yours and your sister's, since the having one of the rioters in your own household will lay you open to suspicion. Then, besides, your sister's bringing over of the arms may be traced to her if the matter be agitated." Then truly the feminine soul of this woman leaped to the surface with no more ado.
"Oh. Harry" she cried out. "I care not f or my grandmother, nor my sister, nor the king, nor Nathaniel Bacon, nor aught, nor aught I fear, I fear Oh,
I fear lest thou be killed. Harry!"
"Lest my dead body be brought home to thy door and the accusation of having furnished a traitor to the king be
laid to thee, madam?" I said, for not One whit believed I in her love for me. But she only sobbed in a distracted
fashion.
"Fear not. madam," I said. "If the
militia be out and I fall, it will go hard
that I die before I have time to for
swear myself yet again for the sake of thy family. But I pray thee keep
to thyself for the sake of all." With that I was in my saddle and rode away, for I had lingered, I feared, too long, and as God is my witness I had no faith that Catherine Cavendish did more than assume such interest in me for her own ends, for love, as I conceived it, was not thus. I hastened on my way to Barry Upper Branch, where was the rendezvous, Catherine urging Harry ru)t to become l rebel

guilty than you be. 'Tis but a trick to turn me from him. Fie, think you
that will avail? Think you that a sis

and lovers to think that,"
Then, to my great astonishment, since I had never seen such weakness
in her before, Catherine flung up her
hands before her face and burst Into
such a storm of wild weeping as never
was, and fled into the house, and Mary and I stood alone together, but only for a second, for Mary, also casting a glance at me, then about her at the utter loneliness and silence of the world, fled In her turn. Then I went to my room, but not to sleep nor to think altogether of love, for my Lord Culpeper was to sail that day, and the next night was appointed for the beginning of the plant cutting.
CHAPTER XVI. KNOW not if my Lord Culpeper bad any inkling of what was about to happen. Softie were there who always
considered him to be one who feathered his own nest with as little risk as might be, regardless of those over and under him, and one who saw when it behooved him to do so, and was blind when ; it served his own ends, even with the glare of a happening in his eyes. And many considered that he was in England when it seemed for his own best good without regard to the king or the colony, but that matters not, at this date. In truth, his was a ticklish position between two fires. If he remained in Virginia it was at great danger to himself. If he sided not with the insurgents; and, on the other hand, there

to lose by the navigation act and no more interest In the uprising than had the muskets stacked In Major Robert Beverly's first wife's tomb. Yet, I pray, what can men do without tools, and have, not tools some glory of their own which we take small account of and yet which may be a recompense to them? Early that morning the news spread that Colonel Kemp of the Gloucester militia and a troop' of horse and foot had -been sent secretly against some plant cutters in Gloucester county who bad arisen before us and had taken prisoners some twenty-two caught In the act. The news of the sending
came first, I think, from Major Robert Beverly, the clerk of the assembly, who had withheld the knowledge for some time, inasmuch as he disliked the Savor of treachery, but being In his cups that night before at Barry Upper Branch out It came. 'Twas Dick Barry who told me. I fell in with him and Captain Jaynes on the Jamestown road that morning. "Colonel Kemp hath ridden against the rioters in Gloucester with foot and horse, by order of the general court, and Beverly hath been knowing to It all this time," he said gloomily. Then he added that a man who served on .two sides had no strength for either, and one who had raised his hand against Bacon had best been out of the present cause. But Captain
Jaynes swore with one of his broadsides of mighty oaths that 'twas best as 'twas, since Beverly had some influence over the militia, and that he was safe enough not to turn traitor with his great store of tobacco at stake, and that should the court proceed to extremes with the Gloucester plant cutters such a flame would leap to life In Virginia as would choke England with the smoke of Its burning. We knew no more than the fact of the sending, but that afternoon came riding into Jamestown Colonel Kemp with a small body of horse, having left the rest and the foot in Gloucester,
there to suppress further disorder, and with him, bound to their saddles, some
twenty -two prisoners, glaring about them with defiant faces and covered with dust and mire and some with blood. Something there was about that aw
ful glow of red on face, on hand or soaking through homespun sleeve or waistcoat that was like the waving
of a battleflag or the call of a trumpet. Such a fury awoke in us who looked on as never was, and the prisoners had been then and there torn from their horses and set free had It not been for the consideration that undue precipitation might ruin the
mam cause.
But the sight of human blood shed in
a righteous cause is the spur of the
brave and goads him to action beyond
all else. Quite silent we kept when
that troop rode past us on their way to prison, though we were a gathering crowd not only of some of the best
f Virginia, but some of her worst and
most uncontrolled of indenture white i
slaves and. convicts; but something
there . must have been in our looks which gave heart to those who rode
bound to .their horses, for one and
then another turned and looked back at us, and I trow got some hope.
However, before the night fairly fell,
twenty of the prisoners, -upon giving
assurance of penitence, were discharg
ed, and but two, the ringleaders, were
committed and were in the prison. The twenty, being somewhat craven-
hearted, and someof them indisposed by vtounds. were fssx their ways home
ward when we were afield.
We waited for the moon to be up,
which was an hour later that night.
I was all equipped in good season, and
was stealing forth secretly, lest any
see ine, for I wished not to alarm the household, nor if possible to have any one aware of what I was about to do, that they might be acquit of blame through ignorance, when I was met in the threshold of an unused door by
Mary Cavendish. And here will I say.
while marveling at it greatly, that the excitement of a great cause, which
calls for all the enthusiasm 4&d. brav
ery of a man, doth, while it not for one moment alters the truth and constancy of his Jove, yet allay for the time his selfish thirst for it.
While I was ready as ever to die for
of her was as ever in my inmost soul, j
would have passed, but she would not
! let me. "Harry," she cried so loud that I ; feared for listening ears, "If you cut i not down my tobacco, then will I myself! Harry, promise me!" No love nor fear for me was in her eyes as she looked at me, only that enthusiasm for the cause of liberty, and I loved her better for it, if that could be. A man or woman who is but a bond slave to ' love and incapable of aught but the longing for it is but a poor lover. "I tell thee, Harry, cut down the plants on Laurel Creek!" she cried again, and I answered, to appease her, not daring" violent contradiction lest I rouse her to some desperate act, this wild, young maid with Nathaniel Bacon's hair in the locket against her heart and as fiery blood as his in her reins, that it should come in good time, but that I was under the leadership of others and not my own. "Then as soon as may be, Harry," she persisted, "for sure I should die of shame were my plants standing and the others cut; and, Harry, sure it could not be at all were it not for my fine gowns which the Golden Horn brought over from England!" With that she laughed, and stood aside to let me pass, but suddenly, as I touched her in the narrow way, her mood changed, and the woman in her became uppermost, though not to her shaking. But she caught hold of my right arm with her two little hands and pressed her fair cheek against my shoulder with that modest boldness of a maid when she is assured of love, and whispered, "Harry, If the militia is ordered out they say they will not fire, but if thou be wounded, Harry,
'tis I will nurse thee, and no other.
and Harry, cut all the plants that thou art able before they come." Then she let me go, and I went forth thinking that here was a helpmeet for a soldier in such times as these, and how I gloried in her because she hold her love as one with glory. Round to the stable for my horse I stole, and it
was very dark, with a soft smother of darkness because of a heavy mist, and
the moon not up, and I had backed my
horse out of his stall and was about
to mount him before I was aware of a
dark figure lurking In shadow, and made out by the long sweep of the
garments that it was a woman.
paused, and looked intently into the
shadow,where she stood so silently that she might have deceived me had
it not been for a flutter of her cloak in
a stray wind.
"Who goes there?" I called out softly, but I knew well enough. I knew well
enough it was .Catherine Cavendish,
and indeed I marveled that I had gotten thus far without meeting her. She
stepped forward with no more ado when I accosted her, and spoke, but
with great caution
"What do you, Master Wingfield?"
she whispered.
"I go on my own business an it
please you. madam," I answered, some
thing curtly, and I have since shamed
myself , with the memory of it, for she
was a woman.
"It pleases me not, nor my grand
mother, " that one of her household
should go forth on any errand of rays
tery at such a time as this, when whis
pers have reached us of another Insur
rection." she replied. "Master Wing
field, I demand to know, in the name of my Grandmother Cavendish, the
purpose of your riding forth in such fashion. , "And that, madam, I refuse to tell you," I replied, bowing low. "You presume too greatly on your privileges," she burst out. "You think because my grandmmother holds you in such strange favor that she seems to forget, to forget" "That X am a convict, madam," I finished for her, with another low bow. "Finish it as you will, Master Wingfield," he said haughtily, "but you think wrongly that she will countenance treason io the king in her own household, and 'tis treason that is brewing tonight" "Madam," X whispered, "if you love your grandmother and value her safety you will remain In ignorance of this." Then she caught me by the arm With snch a nervous ardor that never would I have known her for the Catherine Cavendish of late years. "Harry, you shall not go," she whis-
and on my way had to pass the house where dwelt that woman of strange repute, Margery Key, and it was naught but a solidity of shadow beside the road except fof a glimmer of white from the breast of her cat in the doorway. But. as I live, as I rode past a voice came from that house, though bow she knew me in that gloom I know not. "Good speed to thee, Master Wingfield, and the fagots that thou didst gather for the despised and poor shall turn into blessings, like bars of silver. That which thou hast given, hast thou forever. Go on and fear not. and strike
for liberty and no harm shall come nigh thee." As she spoke I saw the bent back of the poor old crone in the doorway beside her cat, and partly because of her blessing and partly because, as I have said before, whether witch or not, she was aged and feeble and ill fitted for such work, I leaped from my saddle and gathered her another armful of fagots and laid them on her hearth. I left the old soul shedding such tears of gratitude over that slight service and calling down such chlldftsh blessings upon my head that I began to
nave little doubt that she was no witch, but only a poor and solitary old
woman, which, to my mind, is the for
lornest state of humanit3r. How a man
fares without those of his own flesh and blood I can understand, f ?e a man must needs have some comfort in his own endurance of hardships, but what a woman can do without chick
or child and no solace in her depend
ency I know not. Verily I know not that such be to blame if they turn to
Satan himself for a protector, as they
suspected Margery Key of doing.
I rode' away from Margery Key's, having been delayed but a moment, and the quaver of her blessings was yet in my ears when verily I did see
that which I have never understood. As I live, there passed from the house of that ne'er do well next door, which, was closed tightly as if to assure folk that all therein were sound asleep, a bright light like a torch, but no man
carried it, and it crossed the road and was away over the meadows, and no man whom I saw carried it, and it waved in the wind like a torch streaming back, and X knew it for a corpse candle. And that same night the man who dwelt In that bouse was slain while pulling up the tobacco plants. I rode fast, marveling a little upon this strange sight, yet, though marveling,' not afraid, for things that I understand not, and that seem to savor of something outside the flesh, have always rather aroused me to rage as of one who was approached by other than the given rules of warfare rather than fear. I have always argued that an apparition should attack only his own kind and hath no right to leave his own battlefield for ours when we be at a disadvantage by our lack of understanding as to weapons. So if I had time I would have ridden after that corpse candle and got, if I : could, a sight of the bearer, had he i
been fiend or spook, but I knew that I had none to lose. So I rode on hard to Barry Upper Branch. There was an air of mystery about the whole place that night, though it were hard to see the use of it. Whereas, generally speaking, there was a broad blazon of light from all the windows, often to the revealing of strange sights within, the shutters were closed, and only by the lines of gold at top and bottom would one have known the bouse was lit at all. And whereas there were always to be seen horses standing openly before the
porch, this night one knew there were any about only by the sound of their
distant stamping. And yet this was the night when all mystery of plotting was to be resolved into the wind of
action. I entered and found a great company assembled in the hall, and all equipped with knives for the cutting of the tobacco plants and arm3, for the militia, as was afterward proved, was an un
certain quantity. Ooe minute the soldiers were for the government, when the promises as to their pay were spe
cious, and the next, when the pay was not forthcoming, for the rioters, and there was no stability either for the one cause or the other in them-

Major Beverly stood at the head of the hall with a roll ef parchment in his hand, wberefrom he read the names of those present, whom he- was dividing into parties for the purpose of the plant cutting, esteeming that the best plan to pursue rather than to march out openly in a great mob. Thus the whole company there assembled was divided into small parties and each put under a leader, who was to give
directions as to the commencement of
the work of destruction. (To Be Continued.)
