Blake lgoked h¥s scorn of this trivial Frenchman who, upon scenting what appeared to be the comedy of an outraged husband overtaking the man who had carried off his wife, forgot the serious business. a part of Wwhich Sir Rowland had aiready im- parted to him. Capt. Wentworth —a_ time-serving gentleman—smiled with this French general of a British army that he might win the great man’s favor. “I have told your lordship.” said Blake, froth on his lips, “that the men 1 had from you, as well ign Norris, are dead in Bridg- King Monmouth has come to ruin, all King Mammouth has come to ruin, all hecause we were betraved by this woman. It is now my further priv- ilege 1o point out to vour lordship the man to whom she sold us.” Feversham misliked Sir Roland's arrogant tone, misliked his angrs. scornful glance. His eves narrowed, the laughter faded slowly from his fac “Yes, ves. 1 remember. tis lady, vou have tole you. Ver well. But you tole us who betray you to t'is lad And he looked inquiringly at Blake. The baronet’s jaw dropped; his face lost some of its high color. He was stunned by the question as the bird is stunned that fiies headlong against a pane of glass, He had crashed into an obstruction so transparent that he had_not seen it. “Go!" 'sald Feversham, and he stroked the cleft of his chin. “Cap- tain Wentwort’, be so kind as to call t'e guard.” ‘Wentworth moved to obey, but be- fore he had ®one round the said he; us. betray have not pied Richard shrinking by the door. “By heaven!" he cried, "I can more than answer your lordship’s question.” Wentworth stopped, looking at Fe- “versham. “Vovons.” said the General “1 can place You in possess the man who has wrought our He is there,” and he pointed theatri- wally to Richard. Peversham looked at the limp fig- wure in some bewilderment. Indeed, e was having a most bewildering ©vening—or morning. rather. for it was even then on the stroke of 1 @'clock. “An’ who are you, sare?”’ he asked. Richard came forward, nerving him- ®elf for what was to follow. It had just occurred to him that he had a vard which should trump any trick of Sir Rowland’s vindictiveness. and the prospect heartened and comforted him. “I am this lady's brother, my lord." he answered, and his voice was fairly steady. “Tiens!” said Feversham, and, smiling, he turned to Wentworth “Quite a family party, sir.” said the captain, smiling back “Oh! mais tout-afait,” said the Gen- eral, laughing outright. and then Wilding created a diversion by lead- ing Ruth to a chair that stood at the far ond of the table, and drawing it forward for her. “Ah. yes" said Ferversham airily, “let Madame sit.” “You are very good, sir,” said Ruth, her voice brave and calm “But somewhat lacking ‘n sponta- neity,” Wilding criticized. which set Wentworth staring and the French- man scowling. “Shall 1 call the guard, my asked Wentworth, crisply “I tink yes.” said Feversham, and the captain gained the door and spoke a word to one of the soldiers without.

The name .certainly made an im- pression that might have flattered the man to whom it belonged.

Blake, his face purple, seemed struggle for breath and words. ‘Wilding answered for him. “Sir Rowland is so choleric, my Jord.”” he said, in his pleasant, level voice, “that perhaps the tale would come more intelligibly from me.

This was something that, perhaps, she scarcely realized just then, but she was to realize it soon. Fevershamm was speaking again, asking Blake a fresh question. “And who betray vou to t'is rogue? “To Westmacott?' cried Blake. “He was in the plot with me. He was left to guard the rear, to see that we were not taken by surprise, and he deserted his post. Had he not done that there had been no disaster, in spite of Mr. Wilding’s intervention.” Feversham's brow was dark, his eves glittered as they rested on the traitor. “Tat true, sare”’ he asked him. “Not quite.” put in Mr. Wilding. Mr. Westmacott, [ think, was con- strained a: He did not intend—" “Tais-tol blazed Feversham.

Feversham sneered and shrugged. 'Natural you will not speak true. A traitor I “ave observe’ is always liar.” Richard drew himself up; he seem- ed invested almost with a new dig- nity. “Your lordship is pleased to ac- count me a traitor?” he inquired. “A dam’ traitor,” said his lordship, and at that moment the door opened and a sergeant, with six men follow- ing him. stood at the salute upon the threshold. “A la bonne heure!” his lordship hailed them. “Sergean’, you will arrest t'is rogue and tis lady"— he waved his hand from Richard to nd you will take 'tem to vaurien?

Feversham, however. chanced to ob- rve that this man. who had shown himself hitherto so calm, looked sud- denly most singularly perturbed. “Eh?" quoth the general. “An stan’, rgean’. he looked from Wilding to Richard. “Your lordship shall learn at price,” cried Richard “Me. 1 not bargain wit' said his lordship, stiffly “Very well, then,” answered Rich- ard. and he folded his arms dra- maticall “But no matter what your lordship’s will never regret anvthing more bit- terly than you shall regret this by sunrise, if, indeed, you live to see it Feversham shifted uneasily on his feet. “What you say? he asked. “What you mean?’ “You shall know Richard again. . said Feversham. ied to him. in- a traitors, at a price,” said of interfering now, stood gloomily apart, 4 great bitterness in his Soul at the indiscretion he had committed in telling Richard of the night attack that was afoot. “Your lordship shall hear my price, but vou need not pay it me until you have had an opportunity of verfying the information I have to give you." “Tell me,” said Feversham after a brief pause, during which he scruti- nized the young man's face “If your roldship will promise lib- erty and safe-conduct to my sister and myself.” ““Tell me,” Feversham repeated. “When vou have promised to grant me what T ask in return for my in- formation.” “Yes, if I t'ink vour information is wort’ it.” “I am content.” said Richard inclined his head and loosed the quar- rel of his news. “Your camp is slum_ bering, your officers are all abed with the exception of the outpost on the road to Bridgewater. What should you say if I told you that Monmouth and all his army are marching upon you at this very moment, will proba- bly fall upon you before another hour is past”> Wilding uttered a groan, and his hands fell to his sides. Had Fever- sham observed this he might have been less ready with his sneering an- awer. “Alie!” he answered, and laughed: “My fren’. I ‘ave myself been tonight, at midnight, on t'c moor, and 1 'ave ‘eard t'e army of t'e Duc de Mon- moot' marching to Bristol on t'e road —what you call t'e road, Wentwort'>' “The Eastern Causeway, my lord,” answered the captain. “Voila'" said Feversham, spread his hands. “What now, eh? ‘“That that is part of Monmouth's plan to come at you across the moors, by way of Chedzoy, avoiding your only outpost, and faliing upon vou in your beds, all unawares.

Let t'e matter be investi- gate'—at once, Wentwort'—at once!” The general was dancing with ex- citement.

And he snorted his disdain. The sergeant had fallen back at Fe- vershaw’s words, and his men lined the wall of the chnmb’er.

Sir Rowland stood apart, leaming wearily against the wainscot, waiting also. his dull wits not quite clear how Richard might have come by so valuable a piece of information, his evil spirit almost wishing it un- true, in his vindictiveness, to the end that Richard might pay the price of having played him. faise and Ruth the price of having scorned him. Feversham meanwhile was seeking ——with no great success—to engage Mr. Wilding in talk of Monmouth, against whom Feversham harbored in addition to his political enmity a very deadly personal hatred; for Fever- sham had been a Suitor to the hand the Lady Henrietta Wentworth, the woman for whom Monmouth worthy son of his father—had prac- tically abandoned his own wife; the woman with whom he had run off, to the great scandal of court and na- tion. Despairing of drawing any useful informatnon from Wilding, his lord- ship was on the point of turning to Blake, when quick steps and the rat- tle of a scabbard sounded without: the door was thrust open without ceremony, and Capt. Wentworth re- appeared “My lord.” he cried, his manner ex- cited beyond aught one could have believed possible in so phlegmatic- seeming a person, “it is true. We are beset.” “'‘Bese! echoed Feversham. “Be- set_already?’ “We can hear them moving on the moor. _They are crossing the Lang- moor Rhine. They will be upon us in ten minutes at the most.
