N the Swan tavern, which lifted its yellow Holland brick front and peaked shingle roof not far from the Yorklown river rront the candles had been early light ed that night There, as day fainted out supping at his ease at a table in the long parlor, sat a tuau of middle age whose effrontery and insolence bad long ago earned him cordial hatred throughout Williamsburg. He was Captain Foy, aid to Governor Dun more. He looked up as another guest en tered and dropped his knife clattering. "Jarrat!" he cried. "I thought you were In London!" "So I whs; so I was, but I am re turned today," Jarrat answered easily, "How goes it at Williamsburg, Cap tain Fov? And how does Governor Dunmore with that ant bill of dlsloy alty?" "He is away with the troops to quell the Indians on the Pennsylvania bound ary. He will not see Williamsburg again before November. You stayed not long abroad. I beard you were gone for a year of off duty pleasuring." "These Virginias get in the blood." i Jarrat simulated a sigh. "I have lost the old land love, I fear." He did not see fit to tell the true rea son of his sea voyage or that he bad been more in Paris than In London. He was a more subtle servant of Dun- ' more'i than the governor's aid, who measure all things by the bands of the he knew all of the great clock! What has time to do with the i feeling of the heart? Is death ail that comes suddenly, unexpectedly? Are there no sweeter things that come as swiftly? Ah, a man can lire a year In an hour, mademoiselle a lifetime with in one little day. Yesterday, you say? Mademoiselle, yesterday for me were only dim waters and gray sky; now there are flowers and birds and laugh ter and all glad things. ' Shall I tell you , what has changed it all?

"Jarrat I "Ah V laid the secretary." wonder if I shall ever see you royal well Jarrat had risen with an exclama lion. "Sit down, man," said Foy. "IMs bods! Tie a fair enough ambition. Why not? You are youug. and you can do much yet for Lord Dunmore. The king rewards hi servants. Demuie, 1 like you the better for aiming high! Stranger things have happened.

He waited to bear what the other might say. "Affaire are awry here," Foy contin ued, "and I must overtake the governor with advices. Meanwhile there to an imnortaut matter I intend to tell you. I Judge I can speak plain. You may be able to assist tn a delicate undertaking, and you can rest easy Dunmore will not I ungrateful, nor will the king nei ther." " A keenness came Into Jarrafs face. "Say on," he said. "Very well. Here it hi In a nutshell As tou nerchauce know. Lord Stor- mont in Paris has been at much pains to keep informed of the feeling in the French court. He has lately reported a growing danger. That rascally son of a tinker, Beaiimarehals. whose schemes so tickled the fancy of the old king, has been buzzing about Louis XVI. to s purpose. De Vergenne, bis dog of a councilor, was always Itching to com fort the colonies. Welt the matter ha come to a head, and France's aid la In a fair way to be pledged tn the near future to the colonies. Egad. Jarrat an the rebels' congress knew all that Is in the wind at Versailles they would split themselves with Joy!" "1 warrant said the listener, non committal. "Ixwls." pursued Foy, "la pretty well assured of affairs in the north, thanks to that renegade Franklin, but as to the Virginias he is not so certain. So he ia sending over one of his noble poplujays to see for him and report Twaa rumored In Paris that the envoy was to be the Marquis de la Trouerle.' "I have heard of the gentleman," said Jarrat. with careful deliberation. "An other young poppet of Marie Antol nette's, and a worse republican taan Bcautnarchals. And you think ne win report that Virginia la ripe for Insur rection?" . "Thluk! Why, the whole colony a seethe of It To be sure be wilt Truat the courtier to smooth the king tbt way he would be smoothed." "When does the gentleman arrive T "A fortuigbt since word came hithet by the Royal George that he was soon to take shin." Jarrat smiled beneath his band Knowing himself so close to the gov ernor's confidence, be could afford to bt amused. Moreover, be had had mot than oue meeting while abroad with Lord Stormont in regard to this Bam matter. Foy' hangman' humor, how ever, made him a favorite with Lord Dunmore, and It was aliil worth Jar- rut's while to cultivate him. "I am flattered that yon confide Is me." he said. "But what will you de with him when he comes? Yon cannot seize his person." "Why . not?" cried Foy pettishly "There's more to his coming than that Jarrat He will report 'aye to tbla venture of the king. Well. Louli needs no further messenger. He will straightway make the marquis his en voy. Ana tnuiz yon we visitor am be let deliver that message? By th flead, no! Seize his person, eh? W shall see, Jarrat The earl knows his muttous. Meanwhile this marqula must be watched for. We must know where to put a finger on bun. The lower ports are well under espionage. But some of us must watch here at Yorktown. 'TIs what 1 want you t do, Jarrat Gad's lifel 'TIs too deli cate a matter to Intrust to any bog gler." "Again you flatter me." Jarrat bad been' studying Foy through half shut eyes. Now be opened them. . "Enough, captain; I accept the com mission. I take It upon myself to wel come the noble sojourner should he land here. Who knows, I might even make friends with him?" "Good."' Foy" look wore relief. "1 can leave tomorrow for Winchester, then, and shall tell Lord Dunmore thai I have confided In you." "Tell his excellency," Jarrat respond ed as the other rose, "that I shall keep a sharp eye for the marquis. From the moment be lands I shall be hi abad ow. A pleasant Journey, captain. Leave everything to me." And now," said Foy, "for a bottle of old sherry." Jarrat went to the yard to see him go and when he bad disappeared turn ed his eye to a narrow blank window under the shingle roof. Louis will send another messenger when the news reaches France! When It reaches France!!' be muttered. Then more slowly, "When it reaches France!' He stood musing a moment turned and entered the door. The radiant Frenchman that evening, returning to the Swan afoot through the late dusk fall, went up the tavern stair to find that the door of his cham ber stood ajar. An exclamation of sur prise escaped him. He mounted quick ly and went in. Jarrat sat there by the little table, waiting. "Ah!" said the secretary. His eye darted swiftly to his chest In the cor ner. Then he .crossed the room aud tried the lid. It bad not been opened. "I am no common thief, curse it!" spat out Jarrat "No?" observed Armand, with a ris ing inflection. "Monsieur will pardon me. I did not know." He sat down composedly. "To what do I owe this pleasure?" tentatively. Jarrat leaned elbows on the table and regarded him. "You are no fool," be said at length. "All the, better." M. Armand wore a look of polite in quiry. 1 ' . "My word for it" aaid Jarrat sudden ly, "there are richer paymasters than Louis XVI." The other fronted Mm fiercely, men acingly. "What mean you?" be cried. Jarrat laughed. "You see that 1 know what was the marquis' business In the colonies." He went aud closed the door. "Now," he ald, returning, "M. Ar tuand, master secretary, clerk of a dead master, I have a proposition to make to you." "And if," Mid the young foreigner lutolhe 'ferreteyea ""'If t do this what you call itr masquerade; If I. the humble secretary, the clerk, as you have said It become changed for the purpose of uiy lord the earl to the courtier, the noble" He paused. They were silting at ease now, and on Jarrat'a face satis faction wa spread thinly, like oil The Ingratiating mood became him. and hi couipaulou' distrustful look bad van Mied into something that smacked more of f rlendltnea. Think you not," the latter finished that these Virginian will know the difference?" Sblood!" scoffed Jarrat "What know they here In the desert of French nobles? No more than my lord bishop of London's scullery maid!" An expression of curious lnteutnew lurked tn Aruiaud'a face. He was si leut, searching the other with half smiling gase. "And the life. Like you balls aud dances with the quality? You shall bf ought after. Would you set the fash km for the gallauts? They will Joatu the lackeys to hob with you. Gad'i life! The colonials are cubs at boot licking a lord! Tlie fat of the land. I tell you rides, hunts, dances, wenohe ami a merry season!" The secretary' eye siarklod. "You think I would do It well?"

Dark was come down over a inoonlesi vast flooded with waves of bishop's purple, to which trees lent a deeper mystery of shadow. When he turned his face was tender, his eyes luminous.
