sparkled down to wash a tangle of Is

the long parlor, sat a tuau of middle

"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

"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-

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

"Ixwls." pursued Foy, "la pretty well

to that renegade Franklin, but as to
the Virginias he is not so certain. So

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

"A fortuigbt since word came hithet
by the Royal George that he was soon

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

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

"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

He went aud closed the door.
"Now," he ald, returning, "M. Ar

"You have the trne finesse, M. Ie
Capltaine," M. Armand said gravely.
"Permit me to congratulate you."
"The reward Is a tidy one." Jarrat
licked the words lingering!?. " 'Twould
take yon longer to earn a commission
In your own country."
"In France to be an officer In the ar
my one must prove descent from a fam
ily ennobled for at least a hundred
years."
"Nor are doubloons to be plucked
from the bushes br any (tool pigeon."
"It 1 not too much, monsieur," "the
Frenchman interposed, "because you
pay me for what I know of my master
-habits, speech, writings, seal, oil. 1
can write so that the king of France
win never know be Is dead never till I
choose. He will send no other; no-not
till be has found It out But when he
does, what then! Shall I escape hi
wrath? Shall I not be an alien, an ex
He from my country?"
Jarrat bent toward blrn and spoko
smillDelv in the arrogance of fall
blood:
"la there no compensation even for
that? Look, you! There be bright
eyes In the middle plantation bright
eyes and red lips and little waists and
soft ways. There are slender Qngerii
to be kissed, and these fingers oft hold
purse strings. Love In a pretty game,
and by benefit of clergy 'tis sometime
wed with broad plantations that bring
golden guineas across the water."
He laughed at the look the other gave
him. "Zookst" he cried. "Why notl
Think you the prpudest of them all
would not blush to be wooed by a no
ble? There are feW 'my lords' in the
valleys."
M. Armand sprang- up, pushed the
shutters of the window wide and lean
ed out, drawing a deep, long breath.
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.
"Virginia ladies," Jarrat continued,
"are as proud as any court dames. They
have the St, Jaint-s sniff lor the com
moner. But 'tis yours to Choose from
them all an you use your wit"
"Mine to choose," the young foreigner
said a if to himself "mine to choose!"

while his tempter smiled discreetly lie
hind him. "Hut to win is It always to
keep, monsieur? Some time some time
the truth must come to light She
whom I would win must love me.l
Would she love me then?" He spoke
low, rather to the outer silence than to
the other. 1
Pooh! When a woman hn once'

husband be a hero or a rogue? Whim
the game Is over tlie heifer is In th
stall, and there's the commission tc
consolo her. Bethluk, too, that the

contemptuous.
M. Armand turned from the dark
ne, his look suddenly changed, "Yes,"

ni visitor roue with a covert twist
to hi lips. "Yon have decided well,"
bo said. "You have the assurance to
succeed too! To flutter the furthlngalei
yen will need money, of course."
' "Money?" the other smiled. "And m
the Marquis de In Trouerle? Talk of
money between gentlemen? Plenty ol
tJrne for thatafterward."
"Better aad better," atd Jarrat, the
old sneer returning now that the game
was won. "It bespeak good faith. I
hope you shared your waster's gold
with our honest skipper, Elves. Bui
you will need brave clothes. 'TIs not
too much you look like a marquis al
present" , .
M. Arinnnd laid his finger on hi II;

locked It with a key from his pocket
threw it open and began with rapidity
to tuke out coat, watHtcouts, short
clothes-all of beautiful texture and
heavy with lace.
