While hostile neighbors condemn Richard as the murderer, Hel- en and her aunt, the Duchess, stoutly defend him and Helen admits—to her aunt—that she loves the man.

Chapter 18 | A BLOW AT SIR iiCHARD, | The morning was sunny and glad, birds chirped merrily, even the Marquis seemed affected, for his| habitual languor was gone, his| blue eyes were keen and bright. “Gregory, old {friend,” said he suddenly, “friendship is a very holy obligation—eh?" | “It is, my lord. But where are we_going?” “On a pilgrimage o' friendship, | Greg, to track base rumor to its joathly lair and muzzle, pink or' choke it into silence.” The Mar- quis smiled happily and laid one slim finger on his sword . . .“This way!” “What to the Moat House, sir?" “Indeed, Greg. 'Tis there we are most like to find that fellow Des- pard. He haunts the ‘Handsome D'Arcy’—or her money.

The sharp rap of a cane upon| his well-nourished person stopped him with a p of angry amaze- | ment, and starting about at this indignity, he saw the Marquis| smiling at him. i “You . . . you -touched me, my} lord!” Sir John gasped. “I rapped you, Sir Johii. I tapped | you t' draw ’'ttention t' the fol- lowing notable facts; to wit - the absent gentleman y’ dare peach, vilify and asperse is my old | and honoured friend, and secondly, | sir, you are a liar and a bag o wind! I here and now beg leave o tell ye that any man who says, ath said, or should say aught to the further disparagement of Sir Richard Guyfford is a mere lying rogue. And now, should any gen- tleman feel himself affronted, I shall be purely happy to afford him, or them, any and every satis- faction.” No man spoke; then Captain Despard stepped forward and sa- | luted the Marquis with a smiling bow. “My lord, said he lightly, “though 1 have not the honour of Sir Rich- ard Guyfford's friendship, yet I am with you in defense of his inno- | cence. That he should be any way implicated in poor Julian's!| death is preposterous and alto- | gether unthinkable.” | My lady Helen, who chose this| moment to appear, returned the| captain’s salutation with curtsey | far more gracious than usual. And at this moment came a demure young footman who, proclaimed, in voice unnecessarily loud: “If you please, Sir John Parret’s ‘ead-keeper, ma'm to sce Sir John try, hovering over the spoil—and I with ‘em.” They had reached that deep anc tall hedge by the Moat House and now, forth of this leafy hedge shot a small, slim brown hand that clutched the Marquis’ embroidered coat-skirts . . . . The Marquis whirlied to see 2 small, elfin, child-face peering up. ¥ y' please, I'm Shuri o’ the poor ik as wants to see the pretty lady, please.” “Bink me!” cried the Marquis. “I brings her a message from Truffeni Camlo, but I dassent go in, 'cause he's in there.

He had me whipped once, he did!” The Marquis nodded: ¥ in” _The lawns at the Moat House were shaded by great trees and Ehut in by tall hedges of clipped yew.
