That is all his story, or so much or it as matt. up to that night, s8ix months later. when the battle of Sedgemoor was fought Deeming the impending action no affair of his, as indeed it was not, and indifferent to the activity with which Bridgewater was that night agog, Mr. Blood closed his ears to time, into the vortex. of that rebellion. The street was rousing, awakened by the sailor's nofsy advent; doars wure opening, and lattices were being wn- latched for the protrusion of anxious, inquisitive heads. “Take vour time, Blood. “I mever knew by overhaste.” But the wil to the admonition. long, into speech, less 1t is Lord Gildwy,” he “He is sore wounded . . . lethrope’s farm by the river. him thither asd . . he sent me you.

When Make haste, in Ques at last he went forth again Mrs. ow clucking after him like w disgruntied fowl, he found Young Pitt smothered in a crowd of scared, half-dressed townsfolk—mostly wom- who had come hastening for vs of how the battle had sped. The news he gave them was to be read in the lamentations with which they disturbed the morning air. At sight of the doctor, dressed and booted, the case.of instruments tuck- «d under his arm, the messenger dis- himself from those who pressed about, shook off his weari- the horse with his spur. The Tittle crowd gave way, and thus, upon the crupper of that doubly-laden horse, clinging to the belt of his compan- fon, Peter Blood set out upon his Odyssey. For this Pitt, in whom he beheld no more than the messenger of a wounded rebel gentleman, was, indeed, the very messenger of Fate. Oglethorpe's farm stood a mile or 80 the south of Bridgewater, on the right bank of the river. It was a straggling Tudor bullding, showing £ray above the ivy that clothed its lower parts. Approaching it now, through the fragrant orchards amid which it seemed to drowse In Ar- cadian peace beside the waters of the Parrett, sparkling in the morning sunlight, Mr. Blood might have had a dificulty in believing it part of a u;’or:d tormented by strife and blood- shed. On the bridge, as they had been riding out of Bridgewater, they had met a vanguard of fugitives from the field of battle, weary, broken men, many of them wounded, all of them terror-stricken, staggering in speed- less haste with the last remnants of their strength into the shelter which C, THURSDAY, it was their vain illusion the town would afford them. Eyes glazed with lassitude and fear looked up piteously out of haggard faces at Mr. Blood and his companion as they rode forth; hoarse voices cried a warning that merciless pursuit was not far behind. Undeterred, however, young Pitt rode amair along the dusty road by which these poor fugitives from that swift rout on Sedgemoor camé flocking in ever-increasing numbers. Presently he swung aside, and, quit ting the road, took to a pathway that crossed the dewy meadowlands. Even hers they met odd groups of these human derelicts, who were seattering In all directions, looking fearfully behind them as they came through the long grass, expecting at every moment to see the red coats of the dragoons. But as Pitt's direction was a southward one, bringing them ev: nearer to Feversham's headquarters, they were presently clear of that human flotsam and jetsam of the battle and riding ~through the peaceful orchards, heavy with the ripening fruit that was soon to make its annual vield of cider. At last they alighted on the kidney stones of the courtyard, and Baynes, the master of the homestead, grave of countenance and flustered of man- OCTOBER 16, 1924, ner, gave them welcome. In the spacious, stone-flagged hall, the doctor found Lord Gildoy—a very tall and dark young gentleman, prominent of chin and nose—stretch- ed on a cane day-bed under one of the tall mullioned windows, in the care of Mirs. Baynes and her comely daughter. His cheeks were leaden- hued, his eves closed, and from his blue lips came with each libored breath @ faint, moaning noise. Mr. Blood stood for a silently considering his patient. He deplored that a youth with such bright hopes in life as Lord Gildoy's should have risked all, perhaps ex- istence itself. to forward the ambition of a worthless adventurer. Because he had liked and honored this brave | lad he paid his case the tribute of a sigh. Then he knelt to his task, rip- ped away doublet and underwear to lay bure his lordship’s mangled side, and called for water and linen and what else he needed for his work. e !l intent upon it a half hour later when the dragoons in- vaded the homestead. The clatter of hooves and hoarse shouts that her- alded their approach disturbed him not at all. For one thing, he was not easily disturbed; for another, his task absorbed him.
