HlJ Duchess fell back In her

J own at her, his shapely mouth
curled In sardonic smile. . . . Then
the Duchess shook Iter head.
"I don't believe It no, never of
th:s3, Richard Guyfford!" t
''Madame la Duchess, I I am
prnteful!" said he, his speech and
tone 90 altered that my lady Hoi
e'n'B grey eyes opened somewhat
wider than umial.
"Ilowbelt, madam, all these let

Richard Guyfford "

"Then perhaps Sir Richard will

"To what end, ma'm?". he retort
od. "Since niudatn la aasurod thut

'Yonr Jesting Is out o'plnce, sir."

ot farewell, turned and strode away.
Doctor Samson stnrcd at tho rest

"Compose myself!" cried the sick

hurst entered swiftly, closed tin
door carefully, and turned towards
the bed with a certain repressed
eagerness, but meeting the Invalid's
keen eyes, shlftod his glance and
seemed to hcsliate.
"Split me but you're ghastly as
a specter!" said the Viscount at
Inst-
At. Will. I feel It! murmured 1:
Will, not even to please so loving
a friend as thyself . . . Let us toV
business how goes your wooing?"
"Excellent well, Julian give me
but time to contrive the matter
with duo deliberation and she's
mine, Julian, mine!"
"I wonder'" rotorted the Invalid.
"Whence this sudden assurance,
my lord? By all accounts Bhe Is
no childish miss to blush at your
lordly beck, or come simpering to
your so masterful embrace."
"True enough, Julian but," and'
here my lord took on an expression
ot unexpected, ruthless determina
tion, "consider, Julian a solitary
house, an ardent wooer a day and
night and final discovery! Such
methods may bond tlio most stub
born ot feminine wills eh, Julian?
As for 'the D'Arcy' she was all
graclousncRS this morning. I begin
to think Dcspard's scheme may
prove unwanted."
"Howl Despard's scheme?"
to force Helen Into marriage.
"Why, 'twas he suggested It."
"What, you mean this kidnapping.
litis lonely house? TIs a aomo-
whnt ago-worn motliod, eh?
The Viscount dropped Into the
chair. -
'Well, what what o' to morrow,
Julian what o1 your promise?"
Julian laughed gently and shook
his head, while tho Viscount,
watchod ti 1 in. "It's to bo 'no' again,
Is It?"
"Positively no, Will."
Tho Viscount's narrowed eyes
drooped. "Every year you promise
and overy year "
Tho Viscount's gnzo crept along
tho bed-valance up and up to the
small lablo standing at tho Invalid's
olhow; thon ho crossed to the wldo
hearth where a dim Are 'burned.
I wns a fool!" cried he sud
denly, "to sign the cursed thing!"
Tut, tut!" murmured Julian,
taking up n ollvor-mountod pistol
from where it lay on the 1 11 11 o tnblo
and glancing to tho Viscount's back. I
Seeing tho Viscount neither stirred
nor spoke, Julian slipped the pistol
under his pillow; said ho: "Now,
though all tlosh porlshoth, the writ
ten word onditreth. It llvoth on
when the hand that ponned It Is
dust. Now talking ot our Despard,
d' yo trust him so Implicitly?",
"Trust lilm? Don't 1 hold, him
'twlxt my Ilngor and thumb?"
I wonder?" mused Julian, frown
ing up at tho botltostor. " 'TIs a
dark, desperate, cool, determined
crenturo Is Georgo Despnrd,"
'K!,?' exclaimed his lordship,
starting. i"Thoti'rt feverish, Julian."
"Ay, so leave mo. Will."
But no sooner had tho door closed
upon his lordship than Julian took
pen and paper and began to write
with a certain fuvcrlsh hnsto. When
next ho glanced up It was to see
Tom Pitt within a yard ot his bed.
"Hn, rogue rogue!" ho gasped,
covering what he hud written with
quick hand. "Wilt creep on mo,
yon dog; wilt spy?"
"No, sir, no, Indeed, Mr. Jullnn;
I'm hero at my lordship's bidding."
"Then begono nt mine, grub, nnd
suffer nono to trouhlo nio stay!
Hid tho captain to me so soon as
he comes In."
Left nlone, Jullnn finished his
writing and, having read it over,
glnnced about his chamber, with
oyos quick and eager, frowning tho
while as one nt a loss. Suddenly
ho thrust hand beneath pillow and
druw thenco tho silver-mounted pis
tol; then he rolled the paper
cylinder-wlso nnd thrust It Into the
pistol barrel; whlcli done, lie hid
tho weapon under his pillow nguln.
