Monsieur

TSy BOOTH TARKING TON, Author of "The Gentleman From Indiana?' and "The Conquest of Canaan"

Continued from Yesterday.) J" A very pfettj "figure,7" answered" Lady ilary, her eyes downcast. "But does it not hint a notalie experience in the making of such ipeeches V "Tormentress ! No. It prove' only the inspiration it is to know ou." "We English ladies hear plenty of the like, sir, and we even grow fcrilliant enough to detect the assurance that lies beneath the courtesies of our own gallants." "Merci I I should believe so V ejaculated IM. de Chateaurien, but he Emothered the words upon his lips. Her eyes were not lifted. She went on: "Wo come, in time, to fcelieve that true feeling comes faltering forth, not glibly; that smoothness betokens the adept in the art, sir, rather than your true your true" She was herself faltering; more, blushing deeply and halting to a full stop in terror of a word. There was a silence. "Your true lover," he said huskily. When he had said that Aord both trembled. She turned half away into the darkness of the coach. "I know what make you to doubt me," he said, faltering himself, though it wa3 not his art that prompted him. "They have tol' you ho French do nothing al-ways but make love, is it not so ? Yes, you think I am like that. You think I am like that now !" She made no sign. "I suppose," he sighed, "I am unriz'nable. I would have the mow not so col for jus' me. She did not answer. "Turn to me," he said. ' The fragrance of the fields came to them, and from the distance lithe faint, clear note of a hunting horn. "Turn to me." The lovely head wa3 bent ery low. Iler little gloved hand lay cpon the narrow window ledge. Ho laid his own gently upon it. The two hands were shaking like twin leaves in the breeze. IIcr3 was not 'drawn away. After a pause, neither knew how long, he felt the .warm fingers turn and clasp themselves tremulously about his own. lAt last she looked up bravely and met his eyes. The horn was wound again nearer. "All the cold was gone from the snow3 long ago," sho said. "My beautiful I" he whispered. It was all he could say. "My beautiful I" But she clutched his arm, startled. " 'Ware the road!" A wild halloo sounded ahead. The horn wound loudly. " 'Ware the road V There sprang up out of the night a flying thunder of hoof beats. The gentlemen riding idly in front of the coach scattered to the hedge sides, and, with drawn swords flashing in the moon, a party of horsemen charged down the highway, their cries blasting the night. "Barber! Kill the barber 1" they screamed. "Barber! Kill the barber 1" Beaucaire had but time to draw his sword when they were upon him. "A moi!" lm voice rang out clearly as he rose in his stirrups. "A moi, Francois, Louis, Berquin I A moi, Francois !" The cavaliers came straight at him. He parried the thrust of the first, but the shock of collision hurled his horse against the side of tho coach. "Sacred swine !" he cried bitterly. "To endanger a lady, to make this brawl in a lady's presence ! Drive on !" he shouted. "No!" cried Lady Mary. The Frenchman's assailants were masked, but they were not highwaymen. "Barber! Barber!" they shouted hoarsely and closed in on him in a circle. "See how he use' his steel!" laughed M. Beaucaire, a3 his point passed through a tawdry waistcoat. For a moment ho cut through the xing and cleared a space about him, and Lady Mary saw his face shining in the moonlight. "Canaille !" he hissed as his horse sank beneath him, and, though guarding his head from the rain of blows from above, he managed to drag headlong from his saddle the man who had hamstrung the poor brute. The fellow came suddenly to the ground and lay there. "Is it not a compliment," said a heavy voice, "to bring six large men to subdue monsieur ?'' "Oh, you are there, my f rien' ! In the rear a little in the rear, I think. Ha, ha!" The Frenchman's play with his weapon was a revelation of skill, the more extraordinarv as he held in his hand onlv a light dress sword. But the ring closed about him, and his keen defense could not avail him for more than a few moments. Lady Mary's outriders, the gallants of her escort, rode up close to the coach and encircled it, not interfering. "Sir Hugh Guilford!" cried Lady Mary wildly, "if you will not help him, give me your sword!" She would have leaped to the ground, but Sir Hugh held the door. "Sit quiet, madam," he said to her. Then, to the man on the box, "Drive on." "If he does, I'll kill him!" she said fiercely. "Ah, what cowards! ..Will you see the duke murdered 2" "The duke !" laughed Guilford. "They will not kill him, unless be easy, dear madam, 'twill bo explained. Gad's life!" he muttered to Molyneux, " 'twere time the varlet had his lashing ! D'ye hear her?" "Barber or no barber," answered Molyneux, "I wish I had warned him. He fights as few gentlemen could. Ah ah! Look at that! 'Tis a shame !'' On foot, his hat gone, his white coat sadly rent and gashed, flecked, too, with red, M. Beaucaire, wajy, alert, brilliant, seemed to transform himself into a dozen fencing masters, and, though hi3 skill appeared to lie in delicacy and quickness, his play being continually with the point, sheer strength failed to beat him down. The young man wa3 laughing like a child. "Believe me," said Molyneux, "he's no barber! Xo, and never was!" For a moment there was even a chance that M. Beaucaire might have the best of it. Two of his adversaries were prostrate, more than one were groaning, and the indomitable Frenchman had actually almost beat off the ruffians when, by a trick, he was overcome. One f them, dismounting ran in suddenly from be kind and jjzedhb

blade m a thick leather gauntlet. Before Beaucaire could disengage the weapon two others thrcr themselves from their horses and hurled him to the earth. "A moi ! A moi, Francois !" he cried as he went down, his sword in fragments, but his voice unbroken and clear. "Shame !" muttered one or two of the gentlemen about the coach. " 'Twas dastardly to take him so," said Molyneux. "Whatever his deservings, I'm nigh of a mind to offer him a rescue in the duke's face." "Truss him up, lads," said the heavy voice. "Clear the way in front of the coach. There sit those whom we avenge upon a presump-"-tuous lackey. Now, Whiffen, you have a fair audience, lay on and baste him." Two men began to drag M. Beaucairo toward a great oak by the roadside. Another took from hU saddle a heavy whip with three thongs. "A moi, Francois!" There was born on tho breeze an answer "ilonseigneur ! "Ionseigneur !" The cry grew louder suddenly. The clatter of hoofs urged to an anguish cf speed sounded on the night. M. Beaucaire's servants had lagged sorely behind, but they made up for it now. Almost befere the noi3e of their own steeds they came riding down tho moonlit aisle between the mists. Chosen men, these servants of Beaucaire, and like a thunderbolt they fell upon the astounded cavaliers. "Chateaurien ! Chateaurien !" they shouted, and smote so swiftlv that, through lack of time, they showed no proper judgment, discrimi nating nothing between noncombatant3 and their master's foes. Thev charged first into the group about M. Beaucaire and broke and routed it utterly. Two of them leaped to the young man's side while the other four, swerving, scarce losing the momentum of their onset, bore on upon the gentlemen near the coach, who went down beneath tho fierceness of tho onslaught, cursing manfully. "Our just deserts," said Mr. Molyneux, his mouth full of dust and philosophy. Sir Hugh Guilford's horse fell with him, being literally ridden over, and the baronet's leg was pinned under the saddle. In less than ten minutes from tho first attack on M. Beaucaire the attacking party had fled in disorder, and the patrician noncombatants, choking with expletives, consumed with wrath, were prisoners, disarmed by the Frenchman's lackeys. Guilford's discomfiture had freed the doors of the coach. So it wa3 that when M. Beaucaire, struggling to rise, assisted by his servants, threw out one hand to balance himself, he found it seized between two small, cold palms, and he looked into two warm, dilating eyes that were doubly beautiful because of the fright and rage that found room in them too. M. lo Due Chateaurien sprang to his feet without the aid of his lackeys and bowed low before Lady Mary. "I make ten thousan' apology to be the cause of a such melee in your presence," he said, and then, turning to Francois, he spoke in French : "Ah, thou scoundrel ! A little, and it had been too late." Francois knelt in the dust before him. "Pardon!" he said. "Monseigneur commanded U3 to follow far in the rear, to remain unobserved. The wind malignantly blew against monseigneur's voice." "See what it might have cost, my children," said his master, pointing to the rope3 with which they would have bound him and to the whip lying beside them. A shudder passed over the lackey's frame. The utter horror in his face echoed in tho eye3 of his fellows. "Oh, monseigneur !" Francois sprang back and tossed his arms to heaven. "But it did not happen," said M. Beaucaire . "It could not 1" exclaimed Francois. rvr A ,1

And now," he continued, turning to Lady Mary and speaking in English, "let me be asking of our gallants yonder what make' them to be in cabal with highwaymen. One should come to a polite understanding with them, you think? Not so?" He bowed, offering his hand to conduct her to the coach, where Molyneux and his companions, having drawn Sir Hugh from under his horse, were engaged in reviving and reassuring Lady Bellerton, who had fainted. But Lady Mary ftayed Beaucaire with a gesture, and the two stood where they were. "Monseigneur I" she said, with a note of raillery in her voice, but raillery so tender that he started with happiness. His movement brought him a hot spasm of pain, and ho clapped hi3 hand to a red stain on his waistcoat. "You are hurt!" "It is nothing," smiled M. Beaucaire. Then, that she might not see the stain spreading, he held his handkerchief over the spot. "I am a little but jus' a trifling bruise'; 'tis all." "You shall ride in the coach," she whispered. "Will you be pleased, M. de Chateaurien?" "Ah, my beautiful 1" She seemed to wave before him like a shining mist. "I wish that ride might las' for al-ways ! Can you say that, mademoiselle V "Monseigneur," she cried in a passion of admiration, "I would what you would have be, should be. What do you not deserve ? You aro the bravest man in the world !" "Ha, ha ! T am jus' a poor Frenchman." "Would that a few Englishmen had shown themselves as poor' tonight. The vile cowards, not to help you!" With that, suddenly possessed by her anger, she swept away from him to the coach. Sir Hugh, groaning loudlv, was beinr assisted into the vehicle. (To be continued.)
