THE TIMID SOUL. LADIES' SILK, UNDERWEAR? OM THE sewno Mistress Wlldmg By Rafael Sabatini Author of “Scaramouche,” “Captain Blood,” etc. 1924, by Hooghton Miffin Compa-y Copyright, ntinued from Yesterday's Star.) fat fool Albemarle had swal- ved my impeachment like & draught of muscadine. Do you hear me?’ he nded sharply, for Mr. Wilding stood nused, bis thoughts plainly wander- & ie let his hand fall upon Trench- ard’s shoulder. *No,” said he, “I wasn't listening. No matter; for even had I known the full extent of vour scheme 1 still must have interfered.” “For the sake of Mistress Westma- cott’s blue eves, no doubt,” sneered ‘Prenchard. “Pah! Wherever ther: soman there’s the loss of a man.” For the sake of Mistress Wildlng's blue eves,” his friend corrected him. “I'll allow no brother of hers to hang in my place.” ‘It will be interesting to see how you will rescue him.” ‘By telling the truth to Albemarle.” “He'll not believe it. ‘[ shall prove it said Wilding quietly. Trenchard swung round upon him in mingled anger and -alarm for him. “You shall not do it!” he snarled. “It is nothing short of treasen to the duke 1o get yourself laid by the heels at such a time as this.” “I hope to avoid it,” answered Wild- ing confidently. “Avold it? How?" Not by staying longer here in talk. That will ruin all. Away with you, Trenchard! by answered Trench- ] not leave vou. If I have :0t you into this, I'll heip to get you ut again, or stay in it with vou.” Rethink you of Monmouth?" Wild- in< admonished him. Damn Monmouth®™ was the vicious r. “Iam here, and here I stay.” tiet to horse, you fool, and ride to 1ford as you proposed, theré to ambush the messenger. The letter will g0 to Whitehall none the less in pite of what 1 shall tell Albemarle, T things go well with me I shall join Fou at Vallancey's before long.” “Why, if that is vour intention,” ‘gaid Trenchard, “I had better stay and we can ride together. It will make it less uncertain for you." “But less certaln for you." , “The more reason why I should re- ain.” The door of the hall was suddenly Mung open at the far end of the cor- Fidor, and Albemarle's booming voice, impatiently raised, reached them here they stood. “In any case,” added Trenchard, “it geems there is no help for it now.! Mr. Wilding shrugged his shoulders, but otherwise dissembled his vexa tion. Up the passage floated the con Stable's voice calling them. v Side by side they moved down, and gide by side they stepped once more into the presence of Christopher Monk sociates. irs, you have not been in haste,” lhe duke's ill-humored greeting. « “We have tarried a little that we might make an end the sooner.” ‘an- swered Trenchard dryly, and this was ihe first indication he gave Mr. Wild- ing of how naturally—like the infm-{ $table actor that he was—he had glipped into his new role, Albemarle waved the frivolous re- Joinder aside. “Come, Mr. Wilding,” #aid he, “let us hear what you may ‘have to say. You are not, 1 take it, about to urge any gasons why these rogues should not be committed?” “Indeed, your grace,” sald Wilding, “that is what I am about to urge. Blake and Richard looked at him suddenly, and from him to Trench- ard; but it was only Ruth whose eyes were shrewd enough to observe the altered, demeanor of the latter. Her hopes rose, founded upon this oddly assorted pair. Already in anticipation she was stirred by gratitude towards Wilding, and it was in impatient and almost wondering awe that she wait- ed for him to proceed. - I take it sir,” he said, without waiting for Albemarle to express any Lof the fresh astonishment his coun- ~ienance manifested, “that the accu- sation against these gemtlemen rests ntirely upon the letter, which you fave been'led to belleve was ad- <dressed to Mr, Westmacott.” The duke ecowled a moment before replying. “Why,” sald he, “if it could bo shown—irrefutably shown—that he letter was not addressed to either of them, that would no doubt estab- Jish the truth of what they say—that they possessed themselves of the let- ter in the interests of his majesty. He turned to Luttrell and Phelips, and they nodded their concurrence with his view of the matter. “But,” 4o continued, “if you are proposing <o prove sny such thing, I think you will find it difficult.” Mr. Wilding drew a crumpled paper from his pocket. “When the courier whom they ‘robbed, as they have correctly in- formed you,” said he quietly, “sus- Dected their design upon the contents of his wallet, he bethought him of removing theiwrapper from the letter. so that in case the letter were seized them it should prove nothing against any man in particular. He stuffed the wrapper into the lining of his hat, preserving it as a proof of his good faith against the time when he should bring the letter to its desti- nation, or come to confess that it had been taken from him. That wrapper the courler brought to me and I have it here. The evidence it will give should be more than sufficient to war- rant your restoring these unjustly ac- cused gentlemen their liberty," “The courfer took it t6 you?" echoed Albemarle, stupefaction in his glance. “But why to you?’ * “Because,” said Wilding, and with his left hand he placed the wrapper before Albemarle, whilst his right dropped again to his pocket, “the let- ter, a8 you may see, was addressed to me.” The quiet manner in which he made the announcement conveyed almost as great a shock as the announcement itself. Albemarle took up the wrapper; Luttrell and Phelips craned forward to join him in his scrutiny of it. They compared the two. paper with paper, writing with writing. Then Mc K flung one and the other down in front of him. “What lies have 1 been hearing, then?” he Wemanded furfously of Trenchard. *’Slife I'll make an exam- ple of you. Arrest me that rogue— arrest them both,” and he half rose from his seat, his trembling hand pointing to ilding and Trenchard. Two of the tything men stirred to do his bidding. but in the same in- stant Albemarle found himself look- ing into the round nozzle of a pistol. “If," said Mr. Wilding, “a finger Is laid upon Mr. Trenchard or me 1 shall have the extreme mortification of being compelled to shoot your grace.” His pleasantly modulated voice was as deliberate and calm as If he were offering the bench a pinch of snuff. Albemarie's dark visake crimsoned: his eves became at once wicked and afraid. Sir Edward's cheeks turned pale, his glance grew startled. Lut- trell alone, vigllant and dangerous, preserved his calm. Byt the situa- tion baffled even him. EBehind the two friends the tything men had come to a terror-stricken halt. Diana had risen from her chalr in the excitement of the mo- ment and had drawn close to Ruth who looked on with parted lips and bosom that rose and fell. Even Blake could not stifle his admiration of Mr. Wilding's coolness and ad- dress. Richard, on the other hard. was concerned only with thoughts for himself, wondering how it would fare with' him if ~Wilding and Trenchard succeeded In getting away. “Nick,” said Mr. Wilding, “will you desire those catchpolls behind us to stand aside? If your grace raises your voice to call for help, if, indeed, any measures are taken calculated to lead to our capture, I can promise your grace—notwithstanding my pro- found reluctance to use violence— that they will be the last measures you will take in Ilfe. Be good enough to open the door. Nick, and to see that the Key is on the outside.” Trenchard, who was by way of en- joying himself now, stepped briskly down the hall to do as his friend bade him, with a wary cye on the tything men. But never so much as a finger did they dare to lift. Mr. Wilding's calm was too deadly: they had seen a man in earnest before this, and they knew his appearance now. From the doorway Trenchard called Mr. Wilding. “I must be going, your grace,” said the latter very courteously, “but I shall not be so wanting in deference to his majesty’s august representa- tive as to turn my back upon you.” Saying which, he walked backwards, holding his pistol level, until he had reached Trenchard and the door. There he paused and made them a deep bow, his manner the more mocking In that there was no tinge of mockery perceptible. “Your very obedient servant,” said he, and step- ped outside. Trenchard turned the key, withdrew it from the lock and, standing on tiptoe, thrust it upon the ledge of the lintel. Instantly a clamor arose within the chamber. But the two friends never stayed to listen. Down the passage they sped at the double, and out into the courtyard. Here Ruth's groom, mounted himself, was walk- ing his mistress’ and Diana's horses up and down whilst he waited. Yon- der one of Sir Edward's stable boys was holding Mr. Wilding’s roan. Two or three men of the Somerset militia, in thelr red and yellow liv- eries, lounged by the gates and turn- ed uninterested eyes upon these new- comers. ‘Wilding_ aj Drouhed his wife's groom. “Get down,” he sald. “I need your horse—on the king's business. Get down, 1 say,” be added impa- v“‘— tiently, upon noting the fellow's stare, and seizing his leg he helped him fo dismount by almost dragging him from the saddle. “Up with you, Nick,” said he, and Nick very prompt- ly mounted. “ Your mistress will he here presently.’ Wilding told the groom, and, turning on his heel, strode’ to his own mare. A moment later Trenchard and he vanished through the gateway with a tremen- dous clatter just as the lord lieu- tenant, Col. “Luttrell, Sir Edward Phelips, the constable, the tything men, Sir Rowland, Richard and the Iadies made their appearance. Ruth pushed her way quickly to the front. She feared lest her horse and her cousin’s being at hand might be used for the pursuit; 80, UrEIng Diana o do the same, she snatched her reins from the hands of dumbfounded groom and leapt nimbly to_the saddle. “After them!” roared Albemarle, and the constable with two of his men made a_dash for the gateway to raise the hue and cry, whilst the militismen watched them in stupid, inactive wonder. “Damnation, mis tress!” thundered the duke in' ever. increasing passion, “hold your nag! Hold your nag, woman'" For Ruth's horse had become unmanageable and was caracoling about the yard be- tween the men afd the gateway in such a manner that they dared not attempt to win past her. “You have scared him with your bellowing,” she panted, tugging at the bridle, and all but backed into the constable, who had been endeav- oring to get round behind her. The beast continued its wild prancing, and the duke abated nothing in his furious profanity, until suddenly the groom, having relinquished to Diana the reins of the other horse, sprang to Ruth's assistance and caught her bridle in a firm grasp which brought the animal to a standstill. “You fool!” she hissed at him, and half raised her whip to strike, but checked on the impulse, bethinking her in time that, after all, poor lad had done he had done think- ing her distressed. The constable and a couple of his fellows won through: others were rousing the stable and getting to horse, and in the courtyard all was bustle and commotion. however, Mr. Wilding and Trenchard had made the most of their start and were thundering through the town. 'CHAPTER X| At the Ford. As Mr. Wilding and Nick Trench- ard rode hell-to-leather through Taunton streets they never noticed a horseman at the door of the Red Lion Inn. But the horseman noticed them He looked up at the sound of their wild approach, started upon recog- nizing them, and turned in his saddie as they swept past him to call upon them excitedly to stop. “Hi!” he shouted. *“Nick Trench- ard! Hi! Wilding!" Then, that they either did not hear or did not heed him, he loosed a volley of oaths, wheeled his horse about, drove i:ome the spurs and started in pursuit. Jut of the town he followed them and along the road toward Walford, shouting and clamoring at first, after- ward in a grim and angry silence. Now, despite their natural anxiety for their own safety, Wilding and Trenchard had by no means aban- doned their project of taking cover by the ford to await the messenger whom Albemarle and the others would no doubt be sending to White- hall; and this mad fellow thundering after them seomed in a fair way to mar their plan. - As they reluctantly yassed tke spct they had marked out for their ambush, splashed through the ford and breasted the rising ground beyond, they took coun- re They determlned to stand and meet this rish pursuer. Trenchard calmly opined that if necessary they must shoot him; he was, I fear, a bloody-minded fellow_at bottom,’al- though it s true he justified himselt now by pointing out that this was no time to hesitate at trifles. Partly because they talked’ and partly be- cause the gradient was steep. and their horses needed breathing, they slackened rein, and the horseman be- hind them came tearing through the water of the ford and ldssened the distance considerably In the next few minutes. He bethought him of using his lungs -once more. “HI, Wilding! Hold, damn you!" “He curses you in a most intimate manner,” quoth Trenchard. ‘Wilding reined in and turned in the saddl “His volce has a famlliar sound,” said hé, He shaded hiseyes with his-hand, and looked down the slope at the pursuer, who came on grouching low upon ‘the withers of goa ‘‘Wait!” the fellow shouted. “I have news—news for you!” “It's Vallancey!” cried Wilding suddenly. Trenchard too had drawn rein and was looking behind him. Instead of expressing relief at the ~discovery that this was not an enemy, he swore at the trouble to which they had 50 needlessly put themselvés, and he was still at his vityperations when Vallancey came up with them, red in the face and very .angry, cursing them roundly for the folly of their mad career and for not having stop- ped_when he bade them.
