PRINCE SUTTINLY MUSTA LIKED MY LOOKS, To HAVE GIVEN IT TO ME RENT FREE! - SYNOPSIS: A dream of a gypsy face, smeared with blood ~and Helen awakens—to know the truth at last. In early morn- she seeks her brave rescuer the erstwhile gardener, to thank bim but learns that he has dis- appeared. Viscount Brockle- t comes to plead with Hel- en, to implore her to marriage. Helen scornfully refuses and then, immediately falls into a gunning trap. Casually Brockle- t informs her that the E;ener, Dick Fullalove, has n arrested and lies wounded at an inn. Helen, now aware of Sir Richard’s gypsy disguise and- desperately concerned for Bim, rides off with Brockle- hurst to see the prisoner. His viclous plot is about to succeed.

Oh, let |me out!” And she strove desper- |ately to open the chaise door. “And there’s your identification!” | Isaid the Viscount. “Take him away.” | | “No!” cried my lady wildly. | “Richard! What have they dunc‘ jto thee?” | The bloody head was slowly lift- ed, into the dulled eyes came a gleam of recognition, the powerful |body writhed in its bonds and a {hoarse voice whispered: | “Dick . .. always and-ever . . .

Looking on her thus, he stlled and spoke: “Helen mine, the game I thought 1osf—is won! Here's the reason of my laughter—thou art mine. Thou didst think to choose this man or {hat to thy husband—ah, well, I ve chosen for thee, and I have josen—myself!” “You?” she cried in shuddering cofitempt. “I'll die first.” “This is yet to prove,” he an- mred and laughed again, and wing at last what his laughter fitant, panic seized her and, de- proud, courageous spirit, she red, and glanced wildly about the trapped creature she was. “Vile fool,” she cried. “Do you aught shall ever . . . com- me to your base will?” (. Indeed, Helen—a man’s life. Re- tlise me and Richard Guytford dies —ah, doth this touch you?” _“Then—oh, then—'twas you be- “Nay, faith, the fool betrayed .

And now came Job Tucker, the landlord, a leering, bowlegged man, \leadmg two saddle-horses, upon the (nearest of which the Viscount was | mounting when Master Oldcraft ventured to touch his arm. “What ¢ your lady, my lord?” The Viscount glanced towards the chaise and beckoned to the landlord. “Have ye a place where my lady may lie secure, Tucker—secure, de your precious | madam?” Avoiding the hand outstretched to her, my lady stepped from the |chatse, and immediately, at gesture from the Viscount, was whirled up in powerful arms and borne into the dingy tavern, and thus, dumbly submissive with shame and terror, was carried upstairs and locked se- curely into a small and dingy cham- ber. “Look to ’er, now!” cried the Vis- count, pocketing the key. “Look well to her, Tucker, man; let me | find her safe when I return, or, by my soul, I'll be the death o’ some of you." | So saying, he hurried downstairs, to find Joras Skag already on horse-back. “Are you armed?” cried he. “Sure-ly, my lord.” Then Viscount Brocklehurst swung to saddle and, calling on Skag to follow, galloped furiously away.
