CHAPTER I
The Fray in Mincing Lane
"Watch J Ho, watch I"
The words rung through the misty
darkness of the narrow street. I gath
red my cloak around me and sknlked
closer to the nearest house-wall. Could
It be possible the I!ow Street runners
bad picked up my trail again t
And a new worry assailed me. Did
the cry come from In front or behind?
The fog that mantled London, and
which so far had stood my friend, now
served to muffle the source of this sud
den alarm. Which way should I turn?
"Watch t Curse the sleepy varlets P
The bouses past which I had beeu
feeling my way came to an end. A11
alley branched oft to the right and
from Its entrance echoed the click of
steel music after my own heart. The
blood coursed faster In my veins. No,
this could be no trap such as had
awaited me ever since I had stepped
from the smuggler's small boat Here
was sword-play, a welcome change
from the plotting and Intrigue which
bad sickened me.
I cast my cloak back over my shoul
der and drew my sword from Its
sheath, as I ran over the uneven cob
bles which paved the alley. Dimly I
saw before me a confused huddle of
figures that tussled end stamped about
In the ghostly mirk of the fog.
"Hold, friend," I shouted.
"Slake haste," panted a voice from
the middle of the group,
One man agnlnst a gang of assassins t
So that was the story. It savored more
of Paris than of the staid London of
merchants and shopkeepers over which
the Hanoverian exercised his stolid
sway.
But I had scant time for philosophy.
They were on me In an instant, one as
sailant In front, an assassin on either
hand, slashing with hangers. and cut
Inses that knew no tricks of fence, but
only downright force. Their former
prey was left with one to handle.
"Get to his rear, one of you fools."
snarled the ruffian In command whilst
he pounded at my guard.
But I backed Into a handy doorway
and barely managed to fend them off.
And all the while the real object of
their attack continued his appeals for
the wstch.
Twas this which spoiled the fray
for me. I could not but wonder, as
I dodged and parried and thrust, what
would happen If his cries should he
heard and the watch ap(ear. Would
they know me? Or perchance should
I have the opportunity to slip quietly
away?
I stole a glnnce about me. Several
windows had gone up along the street
and nlghtcapped heads protruded to
add their clamor to that of my friend.
Surely Aye. they had done It.
Tie ruffian on my left leaped back
with ear aslant toward the alley en
trance. "Quick, bullies," le yelled. "Tit
the watch V
With a celerity that was rlmost un
canny they disengaged their blades
snd melted lnt the fog. Their foot
falls dwindled around the comer as I
detected the cl imping footfalls of the
approaching gaardlans of London's
peace.
This brought me to my senses. I
sheathed my siord and ran across the
roadway, glunong to right and left for
the best route it escape. But I reck
oned without tfie other participant In
our brawl.
"Be at ease, eiy master," he said In
a voice which lad a good thick Dorset
burr In It I liked him from that mo
ment I sounded so homelike; I could
fairly see the tolling fields, the water
meadows, the copses, all the scenes
that had meant ao much to me In boy
hood, even the sprawling roofs and
chimney stilus of Foxcroft house
Itself. "TIs anly the watch you hear.
Iiurk to the J 1 fling of their stares."
"I know thtt full well, my friend," I
answered him, gonseflesh rising on my
neck as the Jlnrling staves and clump
ing feet drew Hearer. "But I happen
to have pressitg reasons for avoiding
the watch."
My friend ptrsed his lips In a low
whistle.
"80, sets the wind In that quarter!
Yet you came t'ast enough to my help
against those cut-purses a moment
back."
I laughed. The watch were all but
In the alley's mouth. Twas Idle to
think of rut111lt.tr now.
"Oh, I am no highwayman," I said.
"Well, whatever you may be, you
aided Robert Jiggins In his peril, and
twill be a sore pity If a worshipful
aldermun of the city may not see you
through the sciutlny of a bund of lazy
bench-loafert."
"That Is gonil hearing," I answered.
"Will they hiive your description?"
"I think not hut If they ask me to
account for myself I shall be at fault
I am but lately landed from France,
and I have do passport."
He pursed his lips once more In the
quaint form of a low whistle.
"I begin to tee. There Is a foreign
cut to your wlj that I do not Ilka," he
commented. "However, we will bra
fen It out Ii re they come."
The watchmtn rounded the corner

voice, "stand and deliver yourselves
to us."
"And who may you be?" demanded
my friend.
"No friends to brawlers and disturb
ers of the peace, sirrah," replied the
stoutest of the watchmen, stepping to
the front of his fellows. "We are the
duly constituted and appointed con
stables and watchmen of his honor the
worshipful lord mayor."
"It would be nearer the truth to say
that you are the properly constituted
and habitual sleepers and time-servers
of the city," snnpped my companion
i
"Draw near, and examine me.'
"Nay, sir," adjured the captain 0
the watch portentously, "do you ap-j
proach and render yourselves to us.
'TIs not for lawbreakers to order the
city's watchmen how they shall be ap
prehended." "You fool," said my friend very
pleasantly, "If you would only trust
your eyes you would see a face you
have many times seen before this
aye, and shall see again In the morn-
Ing before the bench of sheriffs when
you plead forgiveness for your dila
tory performance of the dalles Intrust
ed to you."
My friend left my side and strode
toward the captain of the watch, who
gave back a pace or two until he felt
the stomachs of his followers at his
back.
'How, now," said he who had called
himself Itobert Juggins, "hold up that
lantern, you, sirrah, with the shaking
arm. I.ix.k Into my fne, laxy dogs
that you are. Iiost know me?" He
poked his finger Into the fat figure of
the captain.
"Sure, you are Master Jurglns," as
sented that official with sullen reluc
tance. "And Is an alderman of the city and
a cupmate of the lord mayor and sher

Of this didactic china many pieces

circulated through his Poor Weil

The Poor Itlclurd maxims were

alder whether your belated efforts
may overset your cowardice and laul
ness In the beginning.
"It shall he as you say, good Master
Juggins," assented the captain meek
ly. "Which way went your assail
ants?"
"What? More questions?" exploded
Master Juggins. "Nay, this Is too
much."
The watchmen turned In their
tracks and herded out of the alley like
bewildered cattle, all clumping hoots,
Jingling staffs, waving lunterns and
Jumbled wits. My savior removed his
hat and mopped his brow with a white
kerchief.
"So much for that" he remarked
cheerfully. "Now
But he was Interrupted from an tin'
expected quarter. The captain of the
watch returned alone.
"I crave your pardon. Master Jug
gins," he began. "But we have been
warned to keep a watch for a danger
ous malefactor, an enemy of the state,
one Ormerod, an emissary of the Pre
tender who Is here on an errand
against the crown."
Juggins favored me wish a cursory
glance of a somewhat peculiar nature.
It was not exactly hostile, and yet
much of the friendliness which had
characterised his manner was gone.
I felt cold chills running down my
hsck. Would he give me up? What
right after all had I to expect better
treatment from a total stranger, a man
who had nothing to gain from shield
ing me?
"flo on," ssld Juggins coldly to the
watchman, withdrawing his attention
from me.
"Why, worshipful sir, there la no
more to say.' It la Just thst I thought,
the attack being made upon you, a well
known citizen. It might have been"
"And how should I know this per
son of whom you speak r
"Why, sir, that I csnnot "
"Be about your duties, sirrah," In
terrupted Master Juggins, "and pester
me no longer."
The rsptaln stumped off to where
his faithful hsnd awaited htm, the sev
eral curlous-mlnded cltlxens who had
listened to the altercation from the
vantnge-point of their bedroom win
dows retired to resume their slumbers,
snd Master Juggins strode bsck to my
side.
"Is your name Ormerod?" he asked.
"I am Harry Ormerod, once a cap
tain of foot under the duke of Ber
wick ; and I formerly had the honor
to be chamberlain to the man whom
some people call King James the
Third."
"You are a rebel, a conspirator
against the crown T"
"I do not exiiect yon to believe me,
of course," I answered as lightly as I
could, "but I am not a reliel In spirit
or Intent, at any rate and I am not
conspiring against the Crown at this
moment although ! have done so In
the past and I am at this moment a
fugitive from Justice."
"Humph," aatd Master Juggins
thoughtfully.
He stood there In the middle of the
alley, caressing his shaven chin.
"Ormerod," he murmured. "Harry
Ormerod. But surely of course why,
you are Ormerod of Foxcroft In Dor
set" "I shook my head ssdly.
"No, my friend; If you know thst
story you must know thst I was Or
merod of Foxcroft house."
Master Juggins was suddenly all
animation.
"I know It well," he returned. "You
and Charles, your elder brother, were
both out in the '10. Charles died In
Scotland, and you escaped with the
remnants of the expedition to France."
"And Foxcroft house was seques
trated to the Crown," I amended bit
terly. "The Hampshire branch bare It
now," went on Mnster Juggins. "They
tosdled It through the Pel hums."
