I got umk-r his guard and passed my
Wade through his right lung.
A brave thrust."
As the mau fell his two comrades
dropiH'd back, and I had an Instant to
look around. The maiden stood beside
me, watching the conflict with bright
ly flashing eyes; her bosom heaved;
her whole form was alive with the
keenest excitement. Truly. It was no
peasaut blood which ran lu her. "A
brave thrust." she cried again.
"The klug," I shouted; "the king,
and eottfuslou to his enemies."
Somewhat takeu aback by the death
of their comrade, the two remaining
men seemed to ts lu no great hurry
to renew the combat. Hut I placed my
lack to the wall and stood on guard
awaiting their onshiught, and when
tftev held back taunted tbem for cow
ard's. I looked again toward the maid
en, and she gave me a glance which
seS my heart athrobhlng fawler than
the flashing swords. Presently, recov
ering something of their lost courage,
the two men again approached, but
this time with less fury and more
method. The trooper came llrst and
engaged me. while the aeriteaut re
mained behind, ready to spit me uiub-r
his companion's arm If opportunity
should offer, For some moments there
was a ring of steel against steel, as we
struck and parried, neither tielng able
to obtain a mastery, while ever ami
anon, at a fiercer blow, bright spnrks
nhot forth from the mee.hiK 'blades.
After the first few thrusts. Indeed. 1
felt I bad the measure of my adver
sary, but I dared not devote to htm
the whole of my attention, requiring
-to be continually on my guard against
a subtle stroke from the sword of the
sergeant. At length, with a swift and
upward stroke, I deprived my oppon
ent of his weapon. It flew from his
hand and fell with a clink aud a Jan
gle upon the stone floor.
It seemed, however, that the blow
was likely to cost me dear, for In strik
ing I stumbled over the body of the
fallen tnxmor, and In a trice the ser
geant was upon inc. with Hashing
word. 1 felt that my last moment
had come and made ready to die as be
came a servant of the king. Instead
of a death thrust, however, a most
astonishing and somewhat ludicrous
thing came to pass; for I found a
most useful ally In the brave young
lady who had displayed so much In
terest In the struggle. She seized the
pot she was seething on the lire, and
with a quick movement poured the
whole of the scalding contents Into
the fare of the sergeant.
He sprang with a cry of rage and
pain, and when he turned round again
I had much ado to restrain my mirth,
for his face at that moment n scudded
nothing so much as a boiled lobster.
It seemed to be his purpose to wreak
vengeance iqion the lady who had
caused his discomfiture, but I bad
time to recover and when lie turned
tie found my sword point to his throat.
Inferring, maybe, from that circum
stance that nothing to hi advantage
was likely to result from a continued
tay, he turned on his heel and, fol
lowed by his disarmed trooper, went
rapidly from the house, using as he did
so many ungodly words such as I
trow he had never found In his prayer
book.
We waited In silence until the sound
of their horses' hoofs had died away
In the distance. For myself 1 could
even then do naught but laugh at the
thought of the grotesque and most dis
figured figure which the burly ser
geant had cut. But the brave lady to
whom I owed so much wag of a differ
ent humor. She plucked my sleeve
and looked Into my face with such
grave and earnest appeal that at once
I checked my merriment.
"Sir, I pray you lose not a moment,
but depart forthwith, for I fear me
yon sergeant will most surely return."
"Nay, fair lady," I answered, "I de
part not alone; for, If I mintiike not,
this same fellow went off in a worse
humor at thy greeting than at mine."
"You speak In riddles, sir; whither
would you have me go?"
"To my home, sweet lady."
"And where may that be, most aga-
wus sir?"
"Nay, I know not; yet am I sure 'tis
not a cottage such a this.
The maiden stood pensive, while a
man might have slowly counted ton,
ad when she looked up there waa
bange come over her, for she had
laid aside her bantering manner, and
spoke in a voice of such exceeding sof t
ncf;a that It was like the music of Home
sweet Instrument most skillfully tuned.
"Most valiant gentleman," she said,
"I will tell you who I am, and whenct
I come, and why you find me here; for
you have borne a brave part tonight,
and it would ill Income me to deceive
one who has wielded for my sake so
trusty a sword. I am the daughter of
the earl of Morvale, whoso purpose it
was to drive me In marriage to a cer
tain courtier of the king, a man I had
never seen, and who, I did not doubt,
was dovoted to pud's and frills and
Mich things as are becoming only to
women that kind of a man, indeed,
which In my injustice I did at first
conceive you yourself to be. But since
I had no great desire to he passed
from hand to hand whether I would
or no, like a piece of merchandise, and
my father not ceasing to press me, I
loft his roof to seek that of my moth
er's sister, who lives on the border of
the county of Worcester, until such
time as his humor should have
changed. But being unused to travel
ing unaccompanied, I mistook the
path and went grievousy astray, so
that when night fell I had wandered
far from my direction, and this good
dame, seeing my dilemma, took me In
and gave me shelter. Then the troult
lo Itruke out lu this quarter and I
could not with safety resume my Jour
ney. So my good mother lent me this
peasant's dress that I might be the less
cittdlv recognised, and
here for tdx
dav I have abided.
A most astonishing nut vastly pleas
ing iHKwlhlllty had Imrne Itself In upon
me while she spoke, let eouui i uoi
Ih w holly certain, so I said:
"You have told me much, madam,
aud yet not "that which most I desire
ta learn. Your father being the earl
of Morvale, have I the privilege of ad
dressing the l.ady i'unstance Temple?"
She Inclined her head M signiry s-
i it then nosslblo that the courtier
of whom you apeak I Sir Lionel Mor-
daunt?' .
"You hiive again guessed rightly,
said the lady, gaslng at me lu some
astonishment; "though how mt come
to know so much that concern me 1
assure you, sir, 1 am at a loss to tut
itei'Htaml."
"And yet," I answered, witn a now,
"It Is bv no means wonderful, a you
will presently perceive, ror the- nio
moiir v must make your safety ou:
chief concern. The castle of Morvale
lies from here not sis leagues distant.
The. night Is tine, aud by pressing for
ward without delay we should reach
It before the dawn. One titer you
will 1h safe, for the earl of Morvale
has takeu no active part in the trouo
l.. siuill we iro thither?"
"But the courtier, sirrah?" exclaimed
iii.t in.lv. You forget the courtier.
My father will surely seek to force this
marriage upon me.
"As to that." 1 replied, "yon reed ap
nivheud no further embarrassment:
and for this very mma, that tbt n
witting cause of all your trouble
stands More you." I made her a low
Ikiw. "I, madam, am Sir Lionel Mor
daunt." I feared then' that I had made my
announcement somewhat loo suddenly,
for the lady was covered with con
fusion, A crimson Bush suffused her
cheek and neck, and she dropped her
head. When at last she looked up.
she was smiling through her hhmVs.
"Yet I fear, sir." she said, with a
comical look, "that the cai will still
refuse to rellittiuls'i his th'lr ' "
"Aud you. madam." I at swered;
"you can reriiKC,"
"But. slrrah"she looked t m with
a merry twinkle In her eyes, nud yet
with a passing sweetness "1 am a
dutiful daughter."
I took her tiny hand 1st mine, and
beetling low Itefore her, klss sl It.
The old woman had llsfeued while
we talked, sitting ou a low stool before
the lire, her withered lips ever and
again emitting a muttered exclama
tion. I laid a pur of mo-icy on the
table, that she might not regret the
klpduens she had shown to us both,
and taking my lady's hand again In
mine, led her gently forth into the
open. There I placed her upon my
own horse, nnd mounting u.uelf the

times, that 1 reullxcd what an Idiot I
had lie nine. Then It was manifest.
At .'lu odd years of age I had fallen In
hive, as romanili ali.v. a preposterous
ly, as any girl of 17, for I had fallen
in love with an actr whom I did not
know..
1 have said that I had never Is-eii
called an Impressionable woman, but
1 may say mure: 1 had In my youth
occasioned my worthy mother great
trouble by my "peculiar disMmliloii."
Iauces were abhorrent to me, and as
to Hilling. I did not know how to do
It. No; ineu did not attract me a bit
doubtless, too. I wearied them. 1
asked nothing lctter than to be left
alone with my pen.
Today 1 had made myself Just such
a life as I had required. My Issiks
were successful: my house was a
pleasant one; and, If 1 did iut go lulu
sisietv a great deal, my circle of
friend contained a number of clever.
and even eelobrntcd, people.
Well. I went one night to the ltla
dent theater. It was the llrst time ,
had seen Brudencll; he Interested me
linliieiisl.v. His quiet voice, his earn
estness held m from tlii" beginning
and after the big scene came, and his
purslonatc outburst came villi It,
told myself ho was the llrst actor on
the slat,'1.
I do not stirpis. If 1 ha I Is cii doing
dramatic critHsm for a paper, that
my enthusiasm would have carrieif mi:
to the length of recording such an ex
travagance as that, but one often feels
things which one lacks the courage to
write, nnd before the expiration of a
week I found myself among the audi
ence at the IMndem theater again.
I was affected as powerfully as be
fore, lie appealed to me Inu llectuiilly
and emotionally. I liked the pleci
and I liked his performance. In
word, I took scats at the Diadem mor
rimes than I care or than I am able to
count.
Of the development of my feelings
Into ridiculous proportions 1 have
spoken already. I stopped to look at
the shop window every morning for n
fortnight, and at hist, thoroughly
wearied of fleeing n temptation which
I knew would recur next day, I went
lu and asked for his likeness.
The man brought me a tnnnls-r, but
I chose the one I had Intended -a pro
file, lie wanted me to have another
as well, assuring me that "this sold
largely among young ladh-s." I said
"Kenll.v?" as indifferently as I could
manage, Ising very ashamed of my
self, and was so disgusted at try weak
ness that I did not take my purchase
out of the envelope till evening.
Then I put It on my study-table.
where I could see It while I wrote.
thought how characteristic n face It
was, how much it snld. I accepted
several Invitations I should otherwise
have refused, Is'cause I gathered It
was possible that (lie popular nctor-
niamiger would be present, and
wished, more fervently than I had
wished for anything before, that ;
were a playwright Instead of a novel
1st, that I might have the felicity of
hearing my line Interpreted by him.
One Sunday we met. The hostess
Introduced him to me: "Mr. Brudencll
Miss Cleevc 'Oeorgo KHIiighani,'
you know!' and I wondered if lie had
read my books.
Ho did not say that he had, but he
was very nice, sneaking lu the low,
grave tones In which he uttered his
commonplaces on the stage.
I congratulated him on the success
he was making, and lie thanked me.
He said how dlfllcult It was to get
hold of good pieces. I found he was
to take me down to dinner, and exert
oil myself" to talk as well as I was
able, Over the entrees I made him
laugh, and I turn hot when I rcnicin
ber tlin delight this "triumph" gave
me.
The theater formed the principal
topic, of our conversation, r.nd I re
ferred to the admirable support given
to him by his leading lady,
"You must find her nn enormous
help In your great scene'" I said.
"She plays up to you splendidly."
He shrugged his shoulders,
"It Is easy business," he answered;
"the part really plays Itself."
I was surprised, for It bad appeared
to me that it would be singularly In
effective In weaker hands.
"She Is a favorite with the public,
and In a theater like mine one is
obliged to have well-known names,"
he added: "but, as a matter or fact,
the Tilece would; go quite as well with
a company nt half the cost." ,
"You do not mean without Mr. War-
ringtott, too?" t
Whv not?" he said. "What ha
Warrington to do? The wbolo burden

"You would say so if you had seen

tor knows what frightfully hard work
a big part Is."
II gave in an interesting account
of hi exerleuee. 1 wa astonished
to leant that It wa years before his
salary touched the point of three gui
neas a week.
"I ran away from horn, and I had
worn to conquer." he said; "but It
was a terrible change to th life 1 had
been used to-terrlble! Still, I stuck
to my profession In th fac of mor
discouragements and hardships than
vou can Imagine. I shall never forget
th turning imtnt of my career."
"Tell me?" I snld.
"I wa engaged for qulta small bust

and at one of th rehearsals we got a
message to say that th leading man

mulled at me penMvely. "Hut you ar

that 1 should ccoiiiiaiy our ti

The play had N-en running

nnvhow, and there wr toast ami
congratulatory isjteeche, and that sort
of thing.
lieorge Brudencll paid me great at
tciitloii. This time be did Hiik of a
book I had written, ami -shall I ever
forget my ecstasy ? asked me If I
would cure to collaborate with him ou
i drama.
"I nm not an author." he said, "but
mv knowledge of the stage will Ih use
fill. I have an Idea for a piece! Of
c nurse. I play the leading part,"
I consented rapturously, i.nd he sent
me bis idea" the following tlay. I
imiot say Unit I liked It very much,
but I went to work ou It realoiisly,
and sometime he called ou me, to see
how I was getting on.
At leiir'l. lo see how 1 Wa getting
on wa oo'eiisiblv the motive of his
vUlis, but Instead of dlMciissIng t lie
nl.iv I generally found that we were
talking of ourselves, lis confessed
to ice that he was not a happy mau;
that his had ls-cu a mistaken mar
riage; ami when he sighed, and leaned
Ills head wearily on his white hand,
my heart ached for him.
That he liked me there was no
d ittbt. Wls'thcr I was In danger or
not, I uoiild rather not uctermluv,
ven to myself. But he came often,
:iml we oorresniiidod, ami-well, I
-anuot say what the end might have
been: I only know what It was.
At last the play was done, ami 1
scut It to him, After a week, I got
note begging me to call, lie was lu
his "sanctum," as he termed It, when
I was shown lu. The MS. wa lying
mi the desk.
"Sit down," he said, with a bright
smile: "hotv happy It makes me to see
you here!" I took a chair m front of
him.
"You like I he drama?" I asked,
"I like It," he said; "yes; but there
are a gcwid many alterations needed
The leading lady's part must Is? weak
ened."
"Weakened?"
"It detracts from inc." he said; "she
has too many good line. Look here
for Instance; I have marked some of
the places."
I looked. He had marked fifty
places If he had marked one.
"And something else," he said. "You
have not let me flnlsh evry act. I
must bring down all the curtains."
"But -but Is that artistic under the
clreiniislsiicesV"
"Oh, artistic!" he laughed. "This Is
business, not art, my dear Miss tieeve.
The applause Is too distributed as you
have written the piece. I have to
stand ou the stage in one of the scenes
while the leading lady gets two ills
tiiu-t 'rounds,' You must cut those
lines out, and give something as good
to me Instead."
The servant came In with a message
and he begged tun to excuse him.
I was glad to be lert alone; I was
dumbfounded. This was "business,
not art!" The piece must be weak
ened that Mr. Brudencll might obtain
inoro rounds of applause from the pit
and gallery. Was 1 dreaming?
He was absent some time, I turned
the pages of the MS., and road the sug
gcstlons lie lunl KncHed, Merciful
powers! and this was the man I had
thought was an artist! Anything more
puerile, more contemptible it. had never
entered Into the human Imiiglniillou
to conceive.
There were some proof-sheets lying
on the desk, I snw they were the
proofs of an "Interview" sent him for
correction. What was that?
"Mr. Brudencll raised his clever
head" the "clover"' had boen Inserted
by Mr, Brudoiiell! Here was a whole
sentence written In: "Mr, Brudencll,
like Sarah Bernhardt, might have ills
tlngiilshcd himself in many of the arts
He Is a talented amateur painter, mod.
els with singular felicity, and earlier
In life was frequently tempted by the
appreciation accorded to his literary
work to desert the footlights for the
study. The British plny-gonr may be
thankful that he did not," Heavens
above!
Here was another line the subject of
the interview had put In: "Like most
clover men, Mr. tieorge Hrudcnell Is
singularly modest. It was with the
greatest dlflleulty we could get him to
speak of himself. 'The Interviewer,'
he said with a musical laugh, 'appalls
me!' "
Whmi he re-entered the room I told
him that I would consider Ms valuable
hints and rose to take my leave. Per
haps It was quite as well for me that
"collalsirated" with hi in cn a play,
though the work was never produced.
It was certainly the meant of restor

continues as much in vogue as ever,
the coats short and opening over n
vest In a masculine way. The Jacket
too, Is rivalling the short round waist
In favor. It may be worn with a stiff
shirt front, collar, aud vest, or In n
more fouilnlmt way with a soft blouse
front of silk or huv, The variety
seem endless.
One of the earliest fall gowns exhlb
lied Is made of mixed tweed In green
blue, and brown. It has a full godct
skirt and is fastened on the hips with
smoked pcuii buttons with a greenish

bu largely adopted for cloth dresses Is
to set straps of the clolh mounted on
velvet around the front edge of the
skirt, the revers, vest, and cuIVs of
the coat. Tho straps may be put on
plain or In conventional designs. The
effect Is excellent. The velvet Is of n
darker shade of the color of the cloth,
or If mixed goods be used, of one of
the prevailing colors. The sleeves
must be elaborately go-cd and lucked,
or Damo Fashion will not smile Usm
them. As yet there are no signs of
any diminution In their slo.
A new metallic) ItiiUmcoiit button,
which Is singularly effective and
