D s e & P L — For The Love Of A Lady By JEFFERY FarnoL S¥NOPSIS: To Richard Guyfford, nobleman, young and handsome, Helen D'Arcy seem- ed the most beautiful woman he had cver seen. From her he learned that to his none too cavory reputation has been added another blemish—“black- mailer"—and discovers that his scoundrelly cousin, Julian, has appropriated Richard’s name to mask his extortion levied on a love-foolish girl. By chance he obscrves a midnight tryst— Julian and Angella, who is Helen's dearest friend. Angella pleads for a packet of lave letters Julian threatens to ex- pose to her fiance. He refuses and leaves her despairing. Richard saves her from jump- ing into a deep mill pond, leads her homeward and learns more of the iovely Helen. CHAPTER 4 WHIPPING A SCOUNDREL Meanwhile Sir rienard, reaching the inn, made his way to door, a small, discreet door in a shadowy and unexpected angle, that seemed to hide coyly from all chanee observation. Taking a key from his pocket, he opened this door and stepped into a nar- roew passage, closed the door. Half- way along this passage he paused dis- up and slid aside a certain panel, covering a dim flight of stairs, which he mounted, the panel clos- ing behind him, and so came into & small, odd-shaped chamber. four doors, it had not so much as a single window. table .lay a horseman's cloak, very dusty, a pair of long-barreled pis- tols and a heavy riding whip. Be- holding these articles, Sir Richard laid his hand upon the latch one door when from nearby rose a querulous, high-pitch- ed voice: “No. 1 refuse—I refuse, I say!” Ensued now the smooth, soft murmur of another voice, whereat Bir Richard frowned and, tion of the moulding, thus disclos- ing a “judas”—two peepholes where- by one might look into the neigh- bouring room. At a table heavily lader with bottles, mostly empty, sat a gor- geous young gentleman, his econtorted by a rageful despair. Be. hind him sat an older man, keen- eyed, high-nosed, intent ing the stood a tall, slim, smiling creature, who seemed to dominate the situation.

Though his lips smiled his sleepy eyes were a menace. “My dear Brocklehurst,” he mur- | mured, “T shall be happy to afford you another week, and then—" “But ye know—ye must know— 't would mean my ruination, Guyf- | ford!” and in the speaker’s hag- gard cyes was sudden, glaring hate. “My lord, you exaggerate the fact.” “It's true—'tis too dev'lish true!” eried his lordship. “Don't—no, don't push me too far, Guyfford Sir Richard closed the judas and, taking up the riding whip, viewed |it with thoughtful frown. Then a |door opened suddenly and there entered a fine, handsome girl who wept, but, espying Sir Richard, she checked her sobs. “Why, Penelope, lass, what's amiss?” “Tis Nick, sir; I come to hide I his pistols.” “Nick? Are the officers on his heels again, or is he only drunk?” “Oh, worse, Sir Richard; he be— jealous! And it be all because o' the London gentlemen—they— they were for kissing me, sir. I told father, and father told Nick, and Nick do swear to be shootin’ some o' the gentlemen.” | “Where is Nick?” “In the kitchen, sir, with father —no, he be a-comin’ up her for his pistols sure! I can hear him.” As she spoke in came a tall, well-fea- tured man, a comely fellow, from neat wig to dusty, spurred boots, who might have been anything irather than the notorious character and dreaded night-rider he was. “Oho—is't you, sir?” he exclaim- lcd. { “Myself!” nodded Sir Richard. |“And leave your pistols alone, Black f Nick. Don't be a fool.” “Lord, sir, fool I must be, being n love wi' lass as loveth not poor ick. But dod bite me, sir, if any man shall treat my Pen anyways disrespectful—" | “And why are ye here tonight, Nick?” inquired Sir Richard. “Tll luck, sir. My mare, good lass, cast a shoe, or I should ha’ pretty work on 't wl’ so much iumnd company on the road, love- sick fools and country gentry.” (ucctmgs Dick! "Tis my joy to present Lord Brocklehurst—Captain Despard. Gentlemen, my esteemed cousin, Sir Richard Guyfford.” The Viscount bowed, the captain merely nodded, Sir Richard did neither, nor did his sombre gaze leave his cousin’s handsome face, conscious of which serutiny Julian's smile faded. Well—what d'ye want here?” “You." | “Ay, you bring me my letter, I think? Tom Pitt tells me of a let- ter.” Twas addressed to me.” “What o' that?” “So—you’ll mask your damnable villainy under my name, will yv‘."‘) “Villainy, d'ye say—you? . Why. your name is so devilish smh'(:h(‘d‘ and blown upon that one peccadillo more or less can pass unnoted. . But enough o' this!” “I'm but beginning, cousin Julian. These so dear friends o' yours shall learn the loathly villain you are and see ye flogged.” With the word he leaped to ac- tion . . . . Vicious blows—a cry, and Julian Guyfford was squirm- ming beneath his cousin's dus'y riding boot. . . . ‘The Viscount gasped, floundered to unsteady legs, but Captain Des- pard pulled him down again, whis- pering sibilantly: “A way out for us, man, wait—let be!” was the vicious hiss of falling whip- lash, a passionate cry repeated again, again, and yet again. . . . The whip broke at last, and Sir Richard, panting a little, let it fall and nodded down at the awful shape writhing beneath his foot. “Cousin Julian, tonight I was; named a ‘blackmailer’ of women! From tonight I refuse to farther any more sins o' yours—And now I'll have these!” So saying, he thrust hand into Julian's breast and, snatching thence the packe of letters, dropped them into his, own coat-pocket.
