The rattle of departing hoofs had
scarce died away when Anne crept'
softly down the stair of the inn. She
had donned a long cloak, and from an-
der the edge of its hood, drawn ovei
ber hair, ber blue eyes looked out with '
a feverish brightness. I
Tbe ball was lighted with a great
lantern, whose yellow flood added to '
the flower white pallor of ber counte-'
nance. The clock was striking 10. The (
soldiers bad sought the fort to gain
early rest, 'and the townfolk were gone"
home. Tbe long parlor was still and'
dark. Through the open door Anne
could see the litter of tankards and
pipes and a lean dog, stretched with
black muzzle laid to tbe threshold,
asleep.
She slipped through the door and to
tbe highroad, and then, with treinu-j

out of breath. A sentry at the gate I
stopped her, and to him she said she
wished to see the governor on impor- j
tant business.
"I know not If he will see you," be
objected doubtfully. "It is late, and j
tbe march is to begin at sunup." j
''But he must see me," she told him.
Tell him he umst!" " j
He left ber for a moment, then, re-;
turning, led her across a court of hard
beaten earth into a log building con-!
taining a single room. At tbe far end '
was a tnble strewn with paiera and '
maps. A sword rack was nailed to th '

In an armchair before the table, hit !
plumed hat and sword tossed across It,
sat the governor, heavy, coarse featur
ed, with reddish, muddy skinned com- j
plexlon under a black curled wig. Hi '
was pig necked and bis eyes were i
bloodshot.
She came Into tbe center of tbe room
and courtcsied slowly, while the earl
rose clumsily, bis red eyes flaming ovei
ber lithe young beauty, and sat down
again, tilting back his chair.
"Your excellency,", she began, "will
pardon this intrusion and my haste.

He was leading her to the door as be
spoke, not waiting her thanks, amka
she went out she heard him rumbling
angry instructions to bis orderly.
Before she had gone from view ot
the fort gate four mounted men pour
ed out and clattered down the high
road at a planter's pace.
Later, in her own chamber, Anne
opened her window and, leaning fat
out on the ledge, gazed into the night

a pause, " 'A little nearer, a little closet

CHAPTER Till.
HE spot selected for the meeting
was not near by, since Virgin
ia's earl governor had forbid
den encounters within a ten
mile of a military camp. Foy rode thitb-
er witn uis seconds, Koipn and a
tenant in the royal forces.

Foy cut in with a laugh of contempt
"'Twill be an accident i' faith," he
said, "if I send not bis soul a-scurry to

"I mind me that fight at llinden,'
said tbe lieutenant musingly. "'Twai

"Aye," said the other, surprised.
"'Twas a fulr thrust None doubt

"Where are your wits?" said Rolph,
reining close. "Know you no better

upstart, Foy, we shall have a toddy to-

- A lantern had been set at the byroad,
. and at this Henry and Armand turned
I Into the open space. Tbe curving road
. on the higher Blue Ridge slope bad been
I delicately grayed with a gossamer mist
j creeping up from the late downs. Here
j It bad risen thicker, curdling more
; deeply against tbe ground and sopping
the air with the smell of wet beech
bark. With the sailing moon above,
was like going In some murky, dull
toned world whore near things were
shadowy and far vanished into opaque
whiteness.
The other party was in waiting, the
horses. In charge of a groom, tethered
near by under clusters of black scarred.
white stemmed birches, which stirred
dimly as If afraid. Through their
moving branches fitful flashes of fog
mixed moonlight filtered whltely ou
Foy, striding up and down, slashing off
golden rod beads with bis sword and
listening to tbe rustle of late rabbits,
scurrying.
"Gentlemen' said Henry gravely,
"know you no means by which this
meeting may be avoided?"
"The yonng cock's crowing leg loud
ly, eh?" Foy turned to bis second
with a rolling laugh.
A quick -.laVd of anger wa on Ar
mand' Hps as he faced Henry, which
aieu as tnirnany spoke:
"Let him to his knee and ask Cap
tain Foy to use bis riding whip Instead
of bis sword."
The i renchman'a laugh rang . out
clearly and loud. "I have seen M. 1
Capltaine ride. If he uses bis sword
as poorly as his whip"
"Damnation!" said Foy. "Measure
those swords, Kolpb, and be quick
about It."
Henry hpld Armand' coat and waist
coat after he bad stripped them off and
fcd, slight and youngj in his shirt
He looked at him with rising pity. AU
Virginia knew of Foy's sword skill
He had a brack record in tbe army of
Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick, and
these tales bad been whispered wide
In WIllinmBburg. There he had come
to no open quarrel as yet and wa
made a boon companion by such pot
tipsters as Burnsby Rolph and lease?
toad eater like young Brooke. But the
better class gave him a cold shouldei
a unworthy to mix with gentlemen ol,
character and would have 'A "--
to have named blm to his face for
sneaking wbelp that smelled strong
the hangman.
The young Frenctnuaa took Henry
hand between both bl own, "I hart
been so occupied these last three
hours," he pretested contritely. "Hare
I said to yon that you are generous ant
kind to assist thus In the affair of
stranger? llavt I aald that I wa
grateful?"
"Colonel Washington.- said Henry,
"is aiy best friend. Aa I had been
the Inn parlor, air, I bad druuk that
roast with you."
The night was very sic til. Scare

"Have you no command, monsieur?"
Heury asked.
Tbe young man' eyes were soft a
be shook his bead. "How sweet
sings!" he aald. "Listen."
It died, ami the tapping of a bell,
very raiut and tar and tenuous,, came
over the still valley. Henry knew tbe
sound. Away to the eastward on
high knoll, stood a long, low structure
of limestone, with a wide veranda.
Perched Umii Its roof were two woodeu
belfries with alarm bells, which had
been hung twenty year before, after
Braddork's defeat when the Indians
turned their tomahawks against the
white chief that dwelt there. The In
dlans bad been driven westward long
ago, but the bell still rang whenever
tbe master, with yelping bound or by
flaring ton-bee, came back to ht lodge.
At this moment, while Armand stood
in tbe moonlight with a naked sword
lu his haud, my Lord Fairfax, for
whose affront he stood, wai come again
saddened to Greenway Court.
Foy' voice broke In, neeringly
wrathful. "Am w come to string
beads"-
"En garde!" cried Armand, turning
sharply, and tbe two blade rang to
gether with a clash.
Foy's attack was wonderfully strong.
He had the trick of carrying the bead
well back and resting the whole weight
of his body upon the left leg, a sign of
one whose learning bad been without
masks. The other' method wa
differeut from that of hi antagonist
as night from day. tie fought far for

directness which later gave Bert rand

the surname of the "Terrible." But tc
the watchers It seemed to be utterly
without method barren of rule to
louse, uncoutalned. He possessed the
appearance of a child at careless play
with a serpent, not conscious of It
sinister Intention.
A pain came into Henry' dark eye
and a paler tinge to hi cheeks. He
groaned Inwardly a Foy suddenly

Als lip parted, watching. "Tbey say

pered, "and that tbe pupil could best

case."
So Indeed It seemed. Foy was
brute, and he fought like one, with fact
distorted and breath rattling with rage.
He came on with the lunge of a bunt
er at a boar, bl blade bate heavy, and
the very fury of hi rush sent tbe young
Frenchman back to the verge of the
bushes.
Armand returned with a stop thrust
parried a lunge and answered by
riposte. Then for a moment there wa
nothing but tbe du-tac-ao-tac of llni
steel, cutting wayward blue white
flashes where tbe milky light caught
Its edge.
"End tbe cub, Foy," cried Rolpb with
an oath, "and let u to townl You
could have spitted him forty times!"
"By heaven!" suddenly bunt out
Henry. "Bravo!".
The Frenchman' blade, beating up a
flanconnade, bad nicked a crimson
gash on Foy' iboulder.
Tbe latter, smarting from the prick
and enraged beyond measure, came on
again cursing, bl chin set forward
from bis neck and a fleck of foam on
bl Hps.
Armand bad changed bl tactic. He
still bad tbe appearance of looseness
and lack of close defense; but, atrange
ly enough, Foy's point though wielded
by the redoubtable swordsman that be
was, bad not so much a slit a ruffle of
bis shirt He was untouched, Immacu
late, careless and debonair.
Now be became of a sudden winged.
He turned, circled, wa here and there
with the rapidity of an Insect. The
fight turned this way and that, crushed
tbe bushes, was all over the ground,
There wa a mase of pricking, whirl
ing arrow of sulphur colored flame In
the moonlight Foy's breath wa com
Ing hoarsely In bl throat like that ef
strangled dog. Armand began to laugh
outright a be thrust and parried.
Tbe lieutenant wedged an exclama
Hon amid tbe flick and scrape of steel.
Foy' face wa become a welter ol
sweat and rage. This wa a sort ol
fighting new to blm. He tried every
attack, every feint, double engage,
coupe each ineffectual, Armand, ulm
ble, laughing, began to bum a tune ai
be ran.
Nothing could bare been better cal
culated to goad bl adversary to point
of Impoteney. Already Foy bad be
gun to cut and lunge In utter, whirling
madness. Rolph no longer called tc
him to end tbe matter. All alike saw
that such ending was fait coming lute
Armand' power alone. '
Again and again Foy laid bl guard
open to Armand' throat, taking nc
thought, but (till tbe Frenchman with

In the right wrist, and, Foy' finger

The anliual plunged aside, and Foy
came at Artuuuil liko the uiaduiau he
was.
The officer threw himself off the
horse too late, as Heury rushed for
ward. Armand stood perfectly still,
bl hand pressed to his side, where a
tain wa spreading crlmsouly among-
the white rulHea.
"Bear witness, Uolph laid with cool

gentlemen."
Well to leave blm to the doss!"
burst forth Foy in a sudden simmer of
white fury a be turned In hi saddle.
And you, you upwturt rebel, Virginia
would long have been the easier for
your gibbeting!"
Ibelr hoof beats grew fainter, then
were gone lu blankuess and echo, and
Henry, feeling the young man form
grow suddenly limp, laid him geully
uown upon the turf.
The baron had driven from Winches
ter that night with a hurt In his gu.
lant old breast. When be settled back
In hi seat hi bauds trembled greatly,
clasped atop bl sword. The huge
chariot, drawn by four wild poiile
that would go at any gait except trot
together, swung swaying from Its
leathern springs, and the road seemed
very long.
Are we almost there. Joe?" be ask
ed more than once.
And the old negro riding behind hi in
would reply stoutly, "Aluio" dar, Mars'
Tonn; alinos' dar."
The fog, fold on fold, shut out the
beauty of the way. Lower lu the
wooded valley the shadows lay very
thick, like dead men strewn on a battle
field. Hiding, he beard the leaves full,
like the Illusion of youth, like hap
piness, like glory, like power.
"Almost there, Joe?"
"Almos dar, Mur' Tonn; aliuos'
dar." .
Up the craggy way a flicker of light
stabbed down through tbe dnib-lttce
tree traceries, and the chariot, turning
In to the clearing amid clamorous dogs,
Woke the cloistral silence of Greenway
Court. A negro came out, beat back
tbe dog and let down the step, and
the old man descended, leaning on Joe's
irm. "
Joe brought my lord hi supper of
venison and bordeaux, standing behind
hi chair till bl master wa done. Tble
wa not long tonight.
My lord took up a book, but threw It
down again. Then he lit hi pipe and
(at long silent till tbe fire domed black

on It and went ihuffllng out again.
Tbe bound yawned about tbe hearth
or whimpered softly In their dreum.
Crackling" steps ' roused them, and
they scrambled out to bay and sniff
and yelp, when the negro clubbed them
back.
A heavy tread stumbled up tbe step.
An aged mastiff, curled under the old
man' chair, bunched shoulders, growl
ing, and the baron, sitting by the dead
hearth, with tbe ashes fallen from bl
pipe, turned bl bead,
Henry stood on tbe threshold, carry
ing Armand In hi arms.
A bl bearer stood, rocking, the

The baron shouted for his sorvanta
and for cloths, hot water and Illy vine
gar, "lie must have a leech," he said.
"1 will ride myself for the doctor at
Ashby' Gup," Henry answered. "Rut
I will dress the wound first" With
Joe's help skins were spread on one of
tbe couches and Armand laid thereon.
Then, with a woodsman's knowledge
of wounds, Henry drew his knlfo aud
cut away the clothing.
"It Is not mortal?" asked tbe old man
anxiously.
"No. But 'twas a foul luuge. Think
not be was tbe poorest swordsman.
Never wa such a skill seen In the Vlr

"Is It so?"
"Hlr, he held that rat' Ufa on th

At length Henry stood up. "I am off
to the Unp now. I shall not return
with tho doctor, since I must go ou to
AVIIIInmsbiirg tomorrow. Hut for safe
ty's sake I shall prsiy him speed."
A struggle showed In the baron's
face. No ono bud ever gone unentered
from bis door. He kept open table at
the Winchester courts, fed tbe poorer
settler with bis owu produce and
would have filled the rugged hat of a
beggur with guinea. Ono passional
hatred he had hatred against tbe en
emies of hi king. All were alike to
blm, high or low. The times, growing
beyond blm, had put forward patriot,
But, all alike, he deemed them viper
that bit tbe hand that fed them.
As Henry approached the door my
lord wa fidgeting In his chair. The
band wa upon tho hitch when he could

"Not of the king," uid Henry, and
smiled. "Not of the king, but of the
king' rule."
A gleam of fierceness, of the uncom
promising principle of hi life, (hot
from under tbe old man's brow. "I
hold with no disloyalty."
"I hold," said Henry In a low voice,
"with my friend Colonel Washington."
"I abe( no treasons," flamed the old
man,
Henry' eye Lid a sudden gleam of
satiric humor. He stretched out the
