Mistress Wilding By Rafael Sabatini EE B Copyright, Author of “Scaramouche,” “Captain Blood,” ete. 1924, by Houghton Mifia Company | P S s i 4 _(Continued from Yesterday's Star.) “The fight is fought and lost there's an end to the garboil. Mon- | mouth is in full flight with what's loft'him of his horse. When I quitted the fleld he was riding hard for Pol- den Hill."” He dropped into a chair, his accents grim and despairing, his eves haggard. “Lost?" gasped Wilding, and his conscience pricked him for a moment, remembering how much it had been his fault—however indirectly—that Feversham had been forewarned. “But how lost?” he cried a moment later. “Ask Grey,” snapped Trenchard. “Ask his craven, numskulled lord- ship. He had as good a hand in los- ing it as any. Oh, it was all most infernally mishandied, as has been everything in this ill-starred rising. Grey sent back Godirey, the guide, and attempted in the dark to find his own way across the Rhine. He missed the ford. What else could the fool have hoped? And when he was discovered and Dunbamton’s guns be- gan to play on us—hell and fire! we ran as if Sedgemoor had been a race | course. “The rest was but the natural sequel. The foot, seeing our con- fusion, broke, They were rallied again: broke again; and again were rallied; but all too late. The enemy was up and with that damned ditch between us there was no getting to close quarters with them. Had Grey ridden round and sought to turn their flank, things might have been— O God!—they would have been en- tirely different. I did suggest it, But for my pains Grey threatened to pistol me if I presumed to instruct him in his duty. I would to Heave: T had pistoled him where he stood.’ Walters, at gaze in the doorway listened to the bitter tirade. Wilding, on the settle, sat silent a moment, his elbows on his knees, his chin in his hands, his eyes set and grim as Trenchard's own. Then he mastered himself, and waved a hand toward the table where stood food and wine. “Eat and drink, Nick,” he said ‘and we'll discuss what's to be done. “It1l need little discussing,” was Nick's savage answer as he rose and went to pour himself a cup of wine. “There's but one courSe open to us— instant flight. I am for Minehead to join Hewling's horse, which went there yesterday for guns. We might seize a ship somewhere on the coast and thus get out of this infernal country of mine." They discussed the matter in spite of Trenchard's having said that there was nothing to discuss, and in_the end Wilding agreed to go with him. What choice had he? But first he must go to Bridgwater to reassure his wife. “To Bridgwater?” blazed Trench- ard, in a passion at the folly of the suggestion. “You're clearly mad! All the king’s forces will be there in an hour or two.” 0 matter,” said Wilding, “I must €0. I am déad already, as it hap- pens” And he related his singular adventure in Feversham's camp last night. Trenchard heard him in amazement, I1f any suspicion crossed his mind that his friend’s love affairs had had anything to do with rousing Fever- sham prematurely, he showed no sign of But he shook his head at Wilding's insistence that he must first to Lupton House. Shait send a message, Anthony. Walters will find some one to bear it. But you must not go yourself.” In the end Mr. Trenchard prevailed upon him to adopt this course, how- ever reluctant he might be. There- after they proceeded to make their preparations. There were still a couple of nags in the stables, in spite of the visitation of the militia, and Walters was able to find fresh clothes for Mr. Trenchard above-stairs. A half-hour later they were ready to set out on this forlorn hope of scape: the horses were at the door, nd Mr. Wilding was in the act of drawing on the fresh pair of boots which Walters had fetched him. Sud- denly he paused, his foot in_ the leg of his right boot, and sat bemused for a moment. Trencard, watching him, waxed im- patient. “What ails you now?’ he croaked. Without answering him, Wilding turned to Walters. “Where are the boots I wore last night?” he asked, and his voice was sharp—oddly sharp, considering how trivial the matter of his speech, “In the kitchen,” te answered Wal- Fetch me them.” And he kicked off again the boot he had half drawn on. “But they are all befouled with mud, sir.” “Clean them, Walters; clean them ¢ let me have them.” 5till Walters hesitated, pointing out that the boots he had brought his master were newer and sounder. Wilding interrupted him_impati- ently. *“Do as I bid you, Walters.” And the old man, understanding noth- ing, went off on'the errand. “A pox on your boots!" swore ‘Trenchard. “What does this mean?” Wilding seemed suddenly to have undergone a transformation. His zloom had fallen from him. He looked up at his old friend and, smil- ing, answered him. “It means, Nick, that whilst these excellent boots that Walters would have me wear might be well enough for a ride to the coast such as you propose, they are not at all suited to the journey I in- tend to make.” “Maybe,” said Nick with a sniff, “you're intending to journey to Tower Hill?" “In that direction,” ‘Wilding suavely. “I'am for London, Nick. “And you shall come with me.” “God save us! Do you keep a fool's egg under that nest of hair?" Wilding explained, and by the time Walters returned with the boots Trenchard was walking up and down the room in an odd agitation. “Odds my life, Tony!" he cried at last. “I believe it is the best thing.” “The only thing, Nick.” “And since all is lost, why * ® " Trenchard blew out his smacked fist into palm. you,” said he. CHAPTER XXIV. Justice. It has fallem to my Iot in the course of this veridical chronicle ‘of Mr. An- thony Wilding’s connection with the rebellion in the west, and of his wed- ding and post-nuptial winning of Ruth Westmacott, to relate certain matters of incident and personality that may be accounted strange. But the strangest yet remains to be re- lated. For in spite of all that had passed between Sir Rowland Blake and the Westmacotts on that memor- able night of Sunday to Monday, on which the battle of Sedzemoor was lost and won, towards the end of that same month of July we find him not only back at Lupton House, but once again the avowed suitor of Mr. Wild- ing’s widow. For effrontery this is a matter of which It is to be doubted whether history furnishes a parallel. Indeed, until the circumstgnces are sifted it seems wild and incredible. So let_us consider these. On the morrow of Sedgemoor, the town of Bridgwater became invest- ed—infested were no whit too strong a word—by the king's forces under Feversham and the odious Kirke, and there began a reign of terror for the town. The prisons were choked with attainted and suspected rebels. From Bridgwater té Weston Zoyland the road was become an avenue of gal- lows, each bearing its repulsive gem- mace-laden burden; for the king’s commands were unequivocal and a answered Mr. hanging was the order of the day. It is not my desire at this stage to surfeit you with the horrors that were perpetrated during that hideous of July, when no man’s life was safe from the royal butchers. The awful campaign of Jeffreys and his four sssoclates was yet to follow, but T A it is doubtful if it could compare in ruthlessness with that of Feversham and Kirke. At least, when Jeffreys came men were given a trlal—or what looked like it—and there re- mained them a chance, however slen- der, of acquittal, as many lived to prove thereafter, With Feversham there was no such chance. And it was of this circumstance that Sir Rowland Blake took the fullest and the cowardliest advantage, There can be no doubt that Sir Rowland was a villain. It might be urged for him that he was a creature of circumstance, and that had circum- stances been ofher it is possible he had been a credit to his name. But he was weak in character, and out of that weakness he had developed a Herculean strength in villainy. Fail- ure had dogged him in everything he undertook. Broken at the gaming- tables, hounded out of town by cred- itors, he was in desperate straits to repair his fortunes and, as we have seen, he was not nice in his endeavors to achieve that end. Ruth Westmacott's fair inheritance had seemed an easy thing to con- quer, and to its conquest he had ap- plied himself to suffer defeat as he had suffered it in all, things else. But Sir Rowland did not ‘yet acknowledge himself beaten, and the Bridgwater reign of terror dealt him a fresh hand—a hand of trumps. With this he_came boldly to renew the game. He was as smooth as oil at first, a very penitent, confessing himself mad in what he had done on that Sunday night—mad with despair and rage at having been defeated in the nobl task to which he had turned his hands. His_penitence might have had little effect upon the Westma- cotts had he not known how to in- sinuate that it might be best for them to lend an ear to it—and a forgiving one. You will tell Mr. Westmacott, Jas- per” he had said, when Jasper told him they could not receive him, “that he would be unwise not to see me, and the same to Mistress Wilding." And old Jasper had carried his message, and had told Richard of the wicked smile that had been on Sir Rowland’s lips when he had ut- tered it. Now Richard was in many ways a changed man since that night at Weston Zovland. A transformation seemed to have been wrought in him as odd as it was sudden, and it dated from the moment when with tears in his eyes he had wrung Wild- ing's hand in farewell. Where pre- cept had failed, Richard found him- self converted by example. He con- trasted himself in that stressful hour with great-souled Anthony Wilding, and saw himself as he was, a weak- ling, strong only in vicious ways. Repentance claimed him: repentance and a fine ambition to be worthier, to resemble as nearly us his nature would allow him this Anthony Wild- ing whom he took for pattern. He changed his ways, abandoned drink and gaming and gained thereby & healthier countenance. Then in his zeal he overshot his mark. He developed a taste for Scripture-reading, bethought him of prayers, and even took to say- ing grace to his meat. Indeed—for conversion, when it comes, is a furi- ous thing—the swing of his soul's pendulum _threatened now to carry him_to extremes of virtue and piety. “O Lord!” he would cry a score of times a day, “Thou has brought up my soul from the grave; Thou hast kept me alive that I should not go down to the pit But underlying all this remained, unfortunately, the inherent weak- ness of his nature—indeed, it was that very weakness and malleability made this sudden and wholesale con- version possible. Upon hearing Sir Rowland's mes- sage his heart fainted, despite his good intentions, and he urged that perhaps they had better hear what the baronet might have to say. It was three days fater Sedgemoor fight, and poor Ruth was worn and exhausted with her grief—believing Wilding dead, for he had sent no message to inform her of his almost miraculous preservation. The thing he went to do in.London was fraught with such peril that he foresaw but the slenderest chance of escaping with his life. Therefore, he had argued, why console her now with news that he lived, when in a few days the headsman might prove that his end had been but postponed? To do so might be to give her cause to mourn him twice. Again he was haunted by the thought that, in spite of all, it may have been pity that had so grievously moved her at their last meeting. Better then to wait; better for both their sakes. If he came safely through his ordeal it would be time enough to bear her news of his preservation. In deepest mourning, very white, with dark stains beneath her eyes to tell the tale of anguished vigils, she received Sir Rowland in the with- drawing room, her brother at her side. To his expressions of deep pen- itence he found them cold: so he passed on to show them what dis- astrous results might ensue upon a stubborn maintaining of this atti- tude of theirs towards him. “I have come,” he said, his eyes downcast, his face long drawn, for he could play the sorrowful with any hypocrite in England, “to do some thing more than speak of my grief and regret. I have come to offer proof of it by service. “We ask no service of you, sir,” said Ruth, her voice a sword of sharpness. He sighed, and turned to Richard. “This were folly,” he assured his whilom_friend. “You know the in- fluence I wield.” “Do 17" quoth Richard, his tone implying doubt. “Yoy_think that the bungled mat- ter at Newlington’s may have shaken it?" quoth Blake. “With Feversham, perhaps. But Albemarle, remember, trusts me very fully. There are ugly happenings in the town here. Men are being hung like linen on a wash- ing day. Be not too sure that your- self are free from all danger.” Rich- ard paled under the baronet's bale- ful, half-sneering glance. “Be not in too great haste to cast me aside, for you may find me useful.” “Do you threaten, sir?" cried Ruth. “Threaten?’ quoth he. He turned up his eyes and showed the whites of them. “Is it to threaten to prom- ise you my protection; to show you how I can serve you?—than which I ask no sweeter boon of heaven. A word from me, and Richard need feer nothing.” ‘He need fear nothing without that word,” sald Ruth disdainfully. “Such service as he did Lord Feversham the other night ® ® “Is soon forgotten” Blake cut in adroitly. “Indeed, "twill be most con- venient to his lordship to forget it. Think ycu he would care to have it known that ‘twas to such a chance he owes the preservation of his army?’ He laughed, and added in a voice of much sly meaning, “The times are full of peril. There's Kirke and his lambs. And there's no saying how Kirke might act did he chance to learn what Richard failed to do that night when he was left to guard the Lear at Newlington'sts “Would you inform him of it?" cried Richard, between anger and alarm. Blake thrust out his hands in a gesture of horrified repudiation. “Richard!” he cried in deep reproof, and again, “Richard!” “What other tongue has he to fear?” asked Ruth, “Am I the only one who knows of it?” cried Blake. *“Oh, madam, why will you ever do me such injustice? Richard has been my friend—my dear- est friend. I wish him so to continue, and I swear that he shall find me his, as you shall find me yours.” ‘It is a boon I could dispense with,” she assured him, and_ rose. “This talk can profit little, Sir Rowland,” said she “You seek to bargain." “You shall see how unjust you are,” he cried with deep sorrow. “It is but fitting, perhaps, after what has passed. It is my punishment. But you shall come to acknowledge that you have done me wrong. You shall see how I shall befriend and protect Bim,” (Continued in Tomorrow's Star.)
