Thus she stood, an Imperious little

but his looks sought the other, tho
smaller girl, who held him. I
"Ah, mademoiselle, a poor dancing

"A dancing master!" Her tone was
different now. "Why, we thought to

"Why, you speak English like nn Eng-

He plays the harp for me while I teach
the steps. This morning coining down
to a little ford he stumbled. The heavy
harp on his back hurled him down so
much the harder. His head struck n
stone. See!"
The dancing master stepped across
to the moss bed, and .Mistress Percj
followed him.
"Oh. it Is horrible! Will he live?" tin
girl exclaimed when she saw the long
gash rnnuing across the man's fore
head at the roots of his hair.
Dubarrc shrugged his shoulders
again. "It Is nothing. We French
know much. I bound up the wound
Then we came on to this hut. Pierre
was tired from tho blood letting, 1
from carrying the harp. We stopped,
and I sung biin to sleep."
"But he must be carried to the house,

Mistress Percy turned impulsively to
her friend "ride you to the castle. Sir
John Wllmerdlng nnd Captain Tboru

Sir John I say to bring a litter for this
wounded mnn. I will wait here and
tend him if he wakes. Men know
nothing about such things."
Tho Frenchman regarded her for a
few moments In silence. "You are very
good, mademoiselle," he said at last.
Ethel Courtlelgh was on her borse
riding along the road across the view
to her destination a mile awny. And
as she rode she smiled to herself to
think how Sir John Wllmerdlng, the
handsomest, the proudest man In the
county, would receive that command
to bring out a litter and help cany in
an unnamed, unknown, low born ns
slstnnt to n wandering, renegade
French dancing master. Hut Sir John
Wihncrding would obey. Mistress
Courtlelgh knew that, for It was not
recorded wlieu any oue and Sir John
last of all had ever thought of dis
obeying the Imperious little toast of
the county.
None in that part of England was
more powerful than the Percys. Sir
Heury of "the castle" was the family
head, and his daughter, Mistress May.
had ruled too long a queen not to com
maud absolute obedience. And sj the
smiling messenger delivered her com
mand and two men. Inwardly cursing,
hurried about to obey the latest whim
sical wish of their sovereign.
Out In the hut Pierre was slowly
reviving. The girl had Dubarre bring
her water In his hat from the brook
that rushed noisily before the door.
and, using her own handkerchief, she
washed daintily and bound up the ugly
wound with tender care. Tho bp.
Frenchman lying there watched her
face throughout with mute, dog eyed
affection.
Then May learned how old Armand
Dubarre. in the generation tieiore. uai
taught the ladies of France to dance
how he had been Indiscreet in carrylu
lettcrs for a certain noble marquis.
Dubnrre shook his head when he spoke
of this. 1
"The elopement failed. The mar
quis was killed. The lady's fam
ily was very powerful, nnd my fa
ther tied to England." He went on to
tell how the outlnwed Frenchman bad
started a dancing class. He taught
the young ladles In noble English fain
Hies, und so had married au English
waiting maid. Gaston Dubarre was
their son.
The girl seemed to lose Interest after
she had found all this. She listened
though, when the Frenchman went on
volubly to explain thnt be had followed
his father's trade and bad taken up
where the elder Dubarre left oft.
Thoroughly disgusted. Mistress Per
cy turned back Into the hut. She turn
ed Just In time to Intercept a look tha
Hashed from Dubarre to Pierre au.l
back again. The girl caught her
breath and walked straight up to the
man standing beside the harp.
"M. Dubarre. was that long windei.
tale the truth?"
He faced her. lunching easily an.
with the Inevitable shrug.
"Mistress Percy enn believe nil o:
none. Just ns she please," he said.
Then the girl looked at Pierre.
The wounoed man lay still, wiiis eye
closed, face stem and fet lips that
made no sign.
That evening Mistress Percy tol.i
Sir Ilcnrv. her father. Sir J..hn W:l
nicrdinc. captain Thnroi-gj- and the
ret of the company the story soe h;:d
beard fn.m Master Dubarre. and t ie
next morning the dancing master gave
bis first lesson
chapter ir.
COME, come, mademoiselle,
that Is all wrong."
The dancing master spoke
sharply, as one. mid to an
unruly child, for Mistress Percy was
m one of ber obstinate moods, and the
lesson bad gone awry from the begin
ning. They were nt nm ,,.! .,f .,..
long, narrow, bare fencing hall, which I
since me arrival of Dubarre had be
come, too, a darning room.
Now the girl drew herself up tc
make the most of her Inches.
"M. Dubarre, I am not accustomed"
she liegan.
To hear the truth." he ended for
her, smiling lightly; then, with grave
politeness: "Certainly, if mademoiselle
wishes ! achieve awkwardness, 1 will
say already sho Is far on the road to
perfection. Pardon me f .r hiihert
mistaking the aim of mademoiselle."
His face showed deep concern at his ; ber first defeat. Not even his eye
mistake. Only about tile eyes was the ! lashes dickered, but the man bowed
quii-..icui nunior or a man amusing
himself nt the expense of a spoiled
child.
Her eyes flashed danger signals; but,
altogether unmindful, he turned to his
assistant.
"Pierre, put your lingers out to tune,
that the music may keep step with
mademoiselle."
At the command, ns an automaton
might, Pierre, seated before his hip
harp at the other end of the hall. Jug
gled the strings out of all time or
tune.
"Do you not like It?" Dubarre asked
when the girl Involuntarily put her
hands to her ears. "If after three
mouths you will not keep time with
the music, then the music must keep
time with you. My reputation ns a
dancing mnster demands that you keep
together."
There was joy now In his tone ns nt
the solution of a great dlllicnlty.
"Possibly were the teacher letter
progress had not been so slow," Mis
tress Percy blurted angrily.
The Frenchman bowed profound ac
quiescence. "Mademoiselle Is right."
he said, now sadly. "I should never
have attempted the task. My father,
a famous dancer, often told me that
only an old man could muster patience
to tench the very young, who have no
Idea how to learn."
Tho girl whirled on him, splendidly
angry.
"Am I to be Insulted by my dancing
teacher? Monsieur, I would have you
know tills shall be the Inst lesson."
"Then It were wise to make the most
of It." he nnswercd coolly ami took her
band. "Pierre, play slowly. We will
dance the minuet."
From pure wonder at Ills presump
tion, she yielded. For a time back nnd
forward in graceful measure they trod
through the stately dance. Ethel
Courtlelgh, waiting tier turn, thought
she had never seen so well matched
a couple.
The dancing master stopped short
and shrugged his shoulders Impatient
ly, "tine, two, three, four. Can you
liot possibly keep time?" ho asked.
"Now, l'ierre, again."
Once more they trod the measure.
A second time Dubnrre stopped short.
"Is mademoiselle a clumsy milk
maid dodging cows' tails? Have you
no knees?" lie asked with exaggerated
politeness, then added mournfully.
"Oh. that courtesy!"
And then the storm broke forth In
enrnest. Mistress Percy Jerked her
hand from his.
"When enme It." she cried. "Unit a
paid teacher so addressed his pupil,
nnd that pupil a lady? Am 1 a child
to lie ordered about by a runaway
Frenchman, a trickster with ills feet?
No: I will not dance. I am utterly
weary of It. and I will never, never i
ilnnco acain!" And with her bead verj i
high aud her body held very stiffly
erect the girl turned her back on bun
and walked proudly to the side win
dow to sec how utterly miserable ev
erything looked without.
The mau merely shrugged his shoul-i
ders nnd glanced at the clock. on )e rp(, h(,nrt of the pinstp,,,.
"Certainly mademoiselle has taken j u wM sr j., ,lm, r,,,n

The girl nt the window at last turn
ed to see M. Pilharre leading his
pleased pupil to her seat. He bent
low ovQthe little baud.
"May I thank you for a very great
pleasure?" he said earnestly. "It was
worth the trip from Frnnce."
Aud Mistress Percy turned back to
dismal counting of the trees outside.
Pierre stopped playing and began to
put the cover on bis harp, Hasten Du
barre was preparing to go. Suddenly
the girl nt tho window moved awny
from it. Sho hesitated for a moment;
then, with iter old time Impulsiveness,
wnlked straight down the room to
where the mall who had chldcd nud
laughed at ber stood.
"Monsieur" she stopped, strangely
embarrassed "if if you please, 1
will dance thnt minuet."
She stood toforo him, her checks
pink, her eyes wonderfully soft and
moist, with tho sweet humiliation of
very low.
"Her dancing master is nlways at
mademoiselle's service," he said.
"Pierre, the minuet."
Fifteen uiluutes later Captain Thorn
MilTe aud Sir John Wilmerdlng came
In for their dnlly bout with the foils.
Just lu time to bear Mistress Percy
ask:
"And do you think I will Improve?"
Dubarre smiled. "Already mademoi
selle shows marked improvement," lie
answered.
Thank you, monsieur." And the
uewooniers wondered at her tone.
Pierre put the cover on his harp and
went away, the girls left, and Sir
John, big, strong and hotheaded, as
sumed bis mnsk and foil against Cap
tain Thorucltffe, the bluff and hearty
soldier who had won promotion nnd
gazette mention oft and over for his
ability In lighting.
Yawning, the dancing master went
to the window.
"You are strong, Dubarre, I know.
Why don't you fence or shoot or ride?"
asked Captain Tliorncllffe ns bo was
getting ready.
The one addressed laughed. "Those
accomplishments nro scarce within the
province of a dancing muster, mon
sieur, but I hnve tried all three."
"Come, arc you ready, Hal?" asked
Sir John Impntlently. and they crossed
swords, while Duliarre turned back to
his window. Soon tho noise forced
bl in to look around.
Assuredly tho bout was becoming
hotter every minute. The narrow place
of arms resounded to the trampling of
feet, while over all the two blades
sang their rasping, clashing sung of the
steel. I'p und down the room the con
test waged, now Captain Hurry Thorn
cllffe and now Sir John Wllnierdlng
holding the advantage. They fenced
with the eager animosity of tried
friends opposed In mimic combat.
Touched!" Captain Tliornellffe
cried It and. stepping back, mined his
foil, smiling.
"No, Hal, I protest. You touched nie
not. Your point failed to reach by
quite an inch. I twisted away as I
saw It coining."
Sir John was almost nngry In his dis
claimer. Captain ThornclHTe still
showed his good humored smile.
"Come, come. Jack. De generous.

Now was come that time when, un
der ie agreement of the long ago, the
childreu were to tie brought together.
Sir John Wllnierdlng knew the old
agreement by heart bow three days
before her seventeenth birthday they
must be betrothed. The marriage
might bo delayed two years, but no
longer.
It was a merely formal matter of n
few minutes. Sir Henry Percy thought
as lie called the young man an 1 girl to
the Horary that morning. The baro
net was iu a hurry to get away for his
ride, tint decided regretfully that lie
ought to spare a few inluuies for tell
ing his daughter she might begin pre
paring for her marriage.
Ills very first sentence had raised
the storm. Mistress Percy now paced
"flat don't Intend to marry."
up and down the library in most uu-growuup-llko
excitement. To bo brought
face to face with marriage when for
weeks Bhe had been planning nothing
more serious than n birthday party
was enough to disconcert nuy nlout-tu-
lie-seventeeu-year-old miss.
"Why did you not tell me of tills,
dad?" she demanded, stopping short
and regarding Mho two men standing
helpless before her.
"My child, tho agreement you knew
It," be protested weakly.
"Agreement! How could you and
Sir Klmer ngree whom I sliould mar
ry?" "Hut, May," Sir Henry answered,
more tlrmly now as the Percy stub
bornness aroused Itself, "Sir Kluier de
sired It; I desired anil do desire It. Ito
meuiber your duty to your father,
child. John VYIImcrdlng, now"
"Hut you enn't want mo to mnrry
a mau I don't love, father?" The word
"father" lu place of the old, famlllur,
loving "dad" should have warned him,
but it did not.
"I-ovo! Pouf! Fiddlesticks!" The
squire fairly snorted. "What's love got
to do with housewifery, the ordering of
servants nml tho raising of a family?
You do these tilings, and I'll warrant
mo John Wllnierdlng will do tho loving
for tho pair of you."
Then the old mnn discovered theru
were two Percys In that room. The
girl drew herself up. cold and white.
Duly her eyes wero blazing.
"John Wllmerdlng may gamble or
light tils wny Into unother's love, fa-
llier, but I don't Intend to mnrry biin."
! Her lone was calm, even, rigorously
Indifferent. It might have been, "I
don't cure for a glass of water, thank
you."
Sir John Wllmerdlng went white to
tho Hps; Sir Heury Percy red to his
ear tips.
I "You d-d-don't." he stiimmered.
"W why. .you baggage, you shall marry
li.ui. Do you iliink I it iti giiug to ho
put out by a chit of a slxti-eu-year ol I

patted the white faced young man on
the shoulder affectionately. "Did you

j whirled back to face bis ilnughter.
I Then his Jaw dri(ied very suddenly.
May Percy bad gone over to the table,

I "What are you doing now?" asked
Sir Henry In very different tone.
