Chapter’ 6 ANOTHER MEETING My lady Helen, sitting up in bed, stretched wide her - shapely arms and yawned, whereupon her maid, i’ the buxom, black-eyed Betty, clasp« ed her hands, rolling her eyes: ec-| ' statically. “Such arms, ma'm. Such.neck and shoulders! Such form! And you [’ so cruel set against matrimony.’{ “Tush, silly wench!” quoth my {1ady, knitting black brows ‘snd yet glancing down at her lgvely sélf with a certain satisfaction none the V' less. “What o'clock is ‘t?" “Nigh upon eleven oh, ma'm, such murdersome news o' the gentlemen, last night!” “Were they so outrageous drunk Betty?” “Well, my lady, ‘twas that wild- some, Sir Richard Guyfford—whips his poor, young sontlnmut-emum shameful cruel-Mr. Julian.” ' - “And how didst learn. o’ tms Betty?” “Well, ma'm, every one's a-dis- cussing it. - There's Mrs. Weather- by below stairs, as lives at The Gables, ma'am, and Sir John Par- ret and his lady, dnd my-lord Vis- count Brocklehurst and ' Captain Despard all a-waiting “to- tell- ye about it and setting 't the garden with Madame.” ° 4 The visitors were’ zrouped about Madame la Duchesse ~d'Estaute- ville, a hook-nosed, nurp-chhmed |/ formidable-seeming lady. ‘s, vof very uncertain age, complexion_ too i vividly red and Whité,’ . glorious eyes, undimmed by . yests; of a wonderful blue, deep and.dark. As Helen approachéd the .ocom- pany rose, the ladies ‘rushed deli- , cately to kiss her, the gentlemeén bowed, fhittered hat or n-mum-- chief. “And now,” said ' the Duchus. '+ “you find us sitting in solemn judg- ment upon a monster and a villain and consequently—'tis dying I am to meet him!” “Him?” repeated Helen. “Himself, my dear, and: his_pame ward, hat in hand; but as he ad- | friends, Helen, are come ‘to. warn | us against the villain.

He harbours vagrants, permits rascally gypsies to camp on his lands and thus is viewed very much aekance by -the neighbouring gentry.” “But is he not ‘also‘a highway< man?” inquired Helen; and met Ime persistent gaze of Captain Des- suggested his lady, pard, who smiled slightly, shaking his head. 'And is he not forever drunk?” inquired ‘Helen. ** “And ‘quarrels,” piped the Vis- tount. “Now if &-gentleman quar< rels, he should like a gentleman— but this fellow!” There’s poor Jul- 1an laughing one moment. and the " |hext—this fellow thrashing him most Vilely with a whip and a would ha' murdered Julian but the whip broke!” ( Melen, glancing at the captain,:* uw his persistent gaze was shift- &d from her at last. “Oaptain Despard,” said she, “you are - thinking, - perhaps, that some whips break too readily.” “I" thifk, my ‘lady, that broken whip doth lurely presage battle— muyrder, and sudden death.” “Ha; apd is it a duel yc're mean- ln¢ now?”. inquired the Duchess. “Julian has challenged the fellow; the duel's .good as l.runud },. Och, me dear souls,” exclaimed the Duchess, ‘“’ti§ moighty comfort« ing to .us.poor sinners to know of some one more sinful than our- selves. 8ir Richard now—yonder He comes, I think, through the herb garden.” The company rose in- continent.

Och, ye greatly resemble your father, sir. Shure he me frequent- ly long ago. 'Tis with the eyes o’ your mother you look at me—me dear, loved Barbara. She was me dearest friend—I knew her years ere she met your father.” “I pray you tell me of her.” T “Not’ now, sit. Ym éh‘!l‘{teu “me’ of yoursilf.” Bu: ne sat mute, scowling down his riding boot.. Thef, looking into these strangely beautiful eyes, 8ir Richard began to talk as he had never - done even to the faithful Gregory, sbeaking flvm hla very heart. Thua ntter the company having departed, Helen approached ~the |- shady cherry tree. “Ah, Helen!” smiled the Duchess, “Make your riverince to Sir Rich-| ’ ard Guyfford.” “Nay, madam,” sighed my lady, “we ha’ met before. I broke into Bir ‘Richard’s house to steal a let- ter—a letter which may perchance explain how Sir Richard broke his whip—" 8ir Richard merely jbowed. “Speak, miss—explain, chlld-—t.bu moment, ma'm, or I shall burst something."” “There, therel" sakl Helen, “tak’ o’ the nursery!

But scarce are we here, Angela writes the vil- lain another letter, behind my back, a wild letter fu'll of frantic suppli- cation and then tells me. I bor- rowed Betty's cloak and crept to the s | villain's house, slipped through the villain’s ‘'window and met the vil- lain—" “And who was the wretch?” “Sir Richard Guyfford.” (_Copyrlgm, 1028, Jeffery Farnol) My lady still does not know. of Richard’s innocence in this matter, nor of-a certaln plot in tomorrow’s chapter. ——— ARE YOU GOING To eat FRESH DRESSED CHICK-~ EN on the Fourth of JULY? .
