LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE

Wolf the
Love of a Lady
MOONLIGHT AND FAIR LADY
It was a warm, still Bight, lit by
the soft radiance ot a rising moon
and full of th languroua frag
rance ot honeysuckle, while from
the showowy woods stole the aott.
bubbling notes ol a nightingale.
Sir Richard, glancing at his com
panion, espied a glistering tendril
of hair, a slim, proud-arched foot
and a voluminous clonic
"Aye me, ma'm," he exclaimed,
sighting heavily, "'tis night most apt
to slghUul dalliance, how say you?"
"That I would be alone, sir."
,'Nay, but consider yon bright
moon."
"Indeed, 'tis very bright, she
answered. "Too bright for some
folks highwaymen, for Instance!"
"Gad so!" he exclaimed. "High
waymen!" say you. Now I wonder
why?"
They had reached the high-road
by now, stretching white before
them.
"Here, sir." said she, "I will give
you good-nlghtl"
"Which I return, ma'm, with all
my heart," he answered with care
less bow. "Tis night to be en
Joyed; let us go on."
"So you will all lie t me with your
presence, sir?"
"Gladly, ma'm until I weary, or
you reach your friends or carriage,
or inn, or"
"Sir, you grow but the more de
testable." "Perfectly, ma'm! And our near
est inn Is the Guyfford Arms, two
miles hence. Walking at four miles
to the hour thus gives you but
half an hour of my company, and
In half an hour you may tell me
more of myself, my sins and frall
lties. than I am at present sensible
of mine ears attend you."
"So be it, sir, and now shall they
tingle." She tossed back her hood
with sudden angry gesture, show
ing him all the proud scornful
beauty fo her face.
"I know you. Sir Richard Guyf
ford, for one of infamous life, a
menace to all purity and Inno
cence.' "Egad!" he exclaimed, shaking
his head, "and I know myself a
very Cto, fleeing Woman like a
plague! . . . .Continue, I beg!"
"I know you for drunken satyr
a cold-hearted libertine "
"Now, pon my soul, ma'm, you
shock me."
"And oh, most vile black
mailer of women who "
Even as she gasped at his fearful
oath she was stayed and swung by
powerful hand to behold a face so
transfigured that her couragous
spirit quailed at last, and, bowing
proud head, she covered her face
against those awful, glaring eyes.
"You are indeed Sir Richard
Guylford?" she Inquired, In voice
trangly hushed.
"Never doubt It, I am he, ma'm,
upon my honor."
And now as he went beside her,
his sombre eyes staring down at
white road or up at brilliant moon,
she looked at him often and with
ever-Increasing unease.
"Come proceed, lady, I beg!"
And now his eyes were twinkling,
his lips twisted In their sardonic
smile; she met his eyes and
spoke, yet in her tone was subtle
change,
Tis said. Sir Richard, that you
were a rebel and condemned to
death.
"All true. ma'm. Being younger
then and greater fool. I. for sake o'
lady frail as fair, enlisted for the
Pretender, was taken at Sherrtff
mulr, clapped In prison, escaped
the ax by a mircale and was final
ly pardoned."
"You did this for a woman?"
"Well, 'twas 10 years ago, ma'm,
and most boys are fools!"
"And the lady?"
"Oh, married, ma'm, married
But what more o'myself?
"Wfll." said she unw111tn?lv. "tl
rumored you do consort with thieves
highwaymen "
"Nay, nay, gentlemen o' the High
Toby, rather I Twas one such saved
my head for me. contrived the mir
acle of my escape, a clever dog and
hath my abiding gratitude. And
yonder is your inn." And he nodded
where, across the village green and
close beside a square church-tower
rose the chimneys of the Guyfford
Arms, a great rambling place of
jutting gables.
They were close upon the Inn
when from the wide-flung casement
of an upper chamber rose a sudden
tuneful roar and the words:
"Of Helen we the praises sing,
Our love and worship tellln,
To Helen let ear glasses rlrtg
To Hel. to Hel, to Helen"
Ay. hark to eml" sa. Sir Rich
ard. "Poor fools, sorry misguided
wretches, tossing down bumpers to
some regardless she who is proba
bly smiling on another at this mo
ment.
Here, finding the lady had gone
on and was walking swiftly away,
he hurried after her.
"But the inn, ma am will you
not enter?"
"No, sir."
"Eh, because o' the poor wretches'
dismal howls f
"Because I am going home, sir.'
."Home?" he repeated.
"I am living in the lane . beyond
the toll-gate."
He made no answer, but walked'!
In frowning thought, and when he
had gloomed beside her thus some
distance she laughed suddenly.
"You are, I think, by nature a
morose creature?" she inquired.
"Why, I'm better company when
drunk, they tell me," he answered.
"And I suppose the worst name any
woman may answer to la Helen!"
"Oh. sir! And why?"
"Well, she was a woman, brought
ruin and destruction on a brave
people. A somewhat wholesale
lady, for your ordinary woman is"
"Too good for your ordinary
man, sir,"
"Hum I Now, touching yourself,
ma'm. You ha' never met that com
plete man o fashion my ha
dear cousin, Julian Guyfiord?"
"Not . . . And here is my
house, sir," said she, pausing at a
gate set amidst a very high, thick
hedge. "I bid you good-night." Sir
Richard took oil his bat and bowed.
"Vr servant, ma'm," said he.
turning to be gone but she stayed
nun with a gesture. "Sir Richard.
I think perhaps you may send back
those letters aome day?"
"I think, perhaps, I may ma'm.1
After this they remained silent
awhile he staring up at the moon,
she studying his face.
"You have never asked my name,
sir. '
"Slife, ma'm, It never occurred
to me."
"I am Helen D'Arcy."
"Helen 1" he repeated. "Ay, I
feared so. Madam, I salute you."
