During his wan- derings he befriends a merchant—Philip Danvelt—who takes him to the home of his prospective father-in-law. There Count Anthony meets Johanna, Philip's flancee. They are immediately attracted with each other. Meanwhile the duke has offered a reward for the count’s ar- rest. Although he is traveling incognito, a wandering friar sees him and guesses his secret. The man goes immediately Anthony is seized and taken to the | duke, who reproaches him for his fight | and asks for his loyalty. Count Anthony pledges it, and the duke tells him of his approaching marriage o Princess Mar- garet of York. Johanna frets and pines and there is no word from him. Then her father takes her to see the cere- | monies that mark the arrival of the | princess. In_the procession, wearing ths robes of a knight of the Golden Fleece, is Count Anthony. Bystanders explain his rank and position, and Johanna were insincere. She is more miserable than ever. Philip, who has been urging her to fiz their wedding day, wonders what ails her. NINTH INSTALLMENT. F the source of Johanna's wist- fulness and pallor no suspicion crossed Philip's mind. Even had he known what was pass- ing in her mind, it is to be doubted if he would have unde: stood. For he was gross of fiber, witl out the capacity to perceive that thought harbored may become as tor- menting to a sensitive mind as a shameful deed accomplished. In Johanna's mind to torture her was the memory of all the thoughts she had entertained on the subject of Anthony, of the words he had spoken, of his unmistakable wooing of her, and of the shameful purpose which she was now compelled to suppose it to have had. From the outset she had accounted Anthony Egmont a gentleman of birth; but she had not supposed him of so lofty a station as to preclude in those days his being a suitor for the hand of the daughter of so wealthy a burgher as her father, To discover him on the incely eminence he occupied was to g:vn no illusions left. She felt herself unutterably shamed and insulted by a wooing that had brought her—poor fool—such glowing rapture. ‘The very reputation for chivalry, in the term’s best and fullest sense, which he enjoyed, but made her shame thej deeper, her contempt of him and of herself more poignant. She had suc- cumbed 50 easily to his honeyed | phrases. Where had been her wits,| where her feminine intuitions? They had been overwhelmed by her vanity and the lure of her silly senses. Thus Johanna in her bitter introspective self-condemnation. ‘The only thing she did not perceive quite clearly was the motive for his abrupt departure from Flushing, for- saking the enterprise and amusement which she afforded him. That some- thing had happened to render it necessary, however, the circumstances showed. And how lightly he had gone, how lightly abandoned her, was more than established by the fact that he had never troubled to send so much as a word of explanation, apology or ex- cuse to the woman to whom he had been uttering words of love within an hour of his departure. Into her bitter musings broke the voice of Philip, softly muted. Unper- ceived he had crept to the side of the litter in which she reclined in the ship'’s waist and now found a seat there on a coll of rope. Her father was on the quarter with the master of the vessel and most of the men were forward. They mre b§ult¢ alone there in the shade of llying miszen. “Johanna,” he sald very softly, “you 1t she are very pensive.” She turned to look at.him. considered his florid face and yellow hair, his eyes of greenish brown, his shallow brow and jutting nose and ob- stinate chin, all that she beheld in him now was honesty and kindliness. She remembered of him only such traits as ‘warning as were in his favor, such Anthony Egmont because of the debt readiness to his neck in National Fellowship Club's DANCES EVERY WEDNESDAY 9 to 12, 50e RY SATURDAY 5 te 12:45, 786 Popular Contest mow on to find the Club’s most popular girl. valswia PHIL O’BRIEN And His Natelkons o e e T INFORMAL THE CITY CLUB 1320 G Street ADVERTISEMENTS [ RECEIVED HERE Wardman Park Pharmacy Is a Star Branch Office.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1930. that lay between them. Here was no libertine, no predatory wolf who used gifts of personal beauty, courtly experi- ence and mental endowments for the furtherance of selfish aims; but a man of her own class, a solid burgher, hon- est, downright and of decent mind and life. He might be unable to string rhymes, but faith could be attached to what he said; he might lack graces of person, but he was of a solidity upon which a woman could lean with confi- dence and trust. He put forth a hand and took one of her own, which she relinquished to him. That hand of his might be squat and freckled, a short-fingered paw ending in gnawed fingernails, But it was strong and honest; a hand that would support a woman and protect her, and Johanna in all her life until this hour had never needed protection and, there- fore, as it seemed to her, never valued the features that held the promise of it. She smiled gently, sadly, into his stupidly masterful countenance. “Pensive? Yes,” she answered him. “There is no harm in thinking.” “No harm: but no profit. No good ever came of it. And of what were you thinking?” His hand stroked hers. “Of what? Of life.” “Life’s to be lived, not thought about,” said Master Philip. “To be lived hap- ily “If possible.” “It must be made possible. I think 1 can make your life happy, Johanna; I know that you can make mine happy. There was a note of cajolery in his voice. “Why do we wait, Johanna?. What is there now to wait for? I want you at Middleburg.” He leaned closer. “I want you so much, Johanna. I may be a clumsy lout in some ways, and I've no experience in dalliance to lend me a lover's arts, but I love you, Johanna. Why will you keep me wilting?" “I have no experience in dalliance to lend me a lover's arts, but I love you, Johanna.” ‘The phrase echoed and re-echoed through her mind, touching ray, jan- gling chords in it. She had been dazzled by the glitter of those arts of which Philip confessed the lack. It was an easy step in her present state to assume an enduring sincerity of purpose where these arts were lacking. By no apter mm could Philip Danvelt have served ends. He set, as it seemed, his own solid worth against the tinsel sparkle of meretri- clous romanticism. Almost she grew tender toward him, convicted herself of injustice and harsh- ness in past opinions of and be- cause dimly aware that only in mar- riage could she find definite shelter from such experiences as that which she had suffered. The intentions of him who wooed a maid might be in doubt, and by that doubt could a maiden be betrayed; but the intentions of him who wooed a wife were clear Philip offered her shelter, suste- nance, genuine affection and peaceful security. What more could any mar- riage offer? What was there in all the world to be preferred to this? And 50, in that hour of reactions, she yield- ed, and thereby placed Philip more deeply in the debt of the Prince of Guelders than he already stood or than he could even guess. Anthony Egmont had not only saved his life, but had won Johanna for him as he could never have " on her for himself. “What is tlere now to wait for, you ask,” she said, on a note whose bitter- ness escaped him. “What, inde And l:ral::!y lhlc -dded,;w‘ you wi no_longer, p.” ‘Ah!” he sucked ln‘hl. breath in an amazement which even greater than his satisfaction. “When, Johanna? | en you will, Philip,” answered A | “At once, then.

In Augus. of same year the Duke of Burgundy his accession through the cities of Zealand, land and Holland with the two- fold aim of receiving homage after ex- changing oaths of fidelity with the representatives of the people and of levying the large sums of money for which the impending war with France created the immediate need. Everywhere he lavishly entertained the wealthy burghers and their wom- en folk and the civic deputies who came to wait upon him. There were banquets and balls and mysteries to which his subjects were widely bidden, and he bore himself toward them as gracious- ly as it lay within his stern, dour nature. By the end of August, the progress successfully accomplished, the duke, now ming swiftly, made his final halt at Middleburg to persuade from the Zeal lers the levy of 16,000 crowns which was to be Zealand's contribution to the total. The town was festively arrayed in preparation for his coming, and in ac- cordance with the orders that had gone ahead of him to his faithful governor. Triumphal arches, bearing the escutch- eons of Burgundy and Zealand, had been erected in the streets. Tapestries and rich carpets decked the windows and balconies and the burgomaster and his council met him at the gates with a fulsomely concelved address of wel- come. He was acclaimed as he rode through with his attendan troop of knights and gentlemen, his heralds in coats of blazonry, his bodyguard of cross-bow-men, and his foilowing of heavily armored men-at-arms. The Sire Claude de Rhynsault had well engineered the show to insure the satis- faction of his ducal master. At the Gravenhof the great hall, usually so bare, cold and forbidding, had been made gay with cloth of gol and some of the richest products of the Arras looms. A dals had been erected at onc end of the hall, it was carpeted in red, and under a canopy of cloth of gold was set a gilded chair of state for the duke’s highness. Enthroned there that afternoon, at- tended by a dozen of his gentlemen, each vying with the other in magnifi- cence, he accepted the homage of & great gathering assembled there by Rhynsault’s invitation and comprising all persons of wealth and prominence, not merely in Middleburg itself, but throughout the Island of Walcheren. :'he civic dignitaries and many t of whose wealth rendered them of Ris. Chalf and leaning - Hgho chair a against its tall back, stood Count An- thony of Guelders. He was alone there, and detached from the group of rylv clad nobles clustered behind to the left of the ducal throne. Standing there, tall and graceful, beside the stocky, seated figure of the young duke, who was all in black. he took the eye, espectally of the women as they came to be sented. More closely observed by 'm even than the duke, he, himself, observed none. There was before his eyes a vision Wwhich seldom left it in those days. Memory and longing limned the picture for him: A quadrangular court about Wwhich arose a tall red house and then the l?plrltlnn of a madonna clad in the blue in which the Italians were wont to paint her, a slim, gracious, golden-headed Madonna with a deli- cately tinted, delicately featured face, who bade him welcome. He considered that the bitter fight was over between the love, which had made him for a season forget his birth and blood, and the duty which he ac- counted owing to his station. He conceived that duty had won the final victory. He should have perceived his error in the persistence of this vision, now before him; in the terrible, aching ’lrmgtng it aroused. | Listless and vacant he leaned there, blind to the glittering throng that moved under his eyes. e old tempta- tion to be a man even at the cost of ceasing to be a prince assailed him again and with unusual violence, Per- haps it was provoked by his nearness to the ground ever hallowed in his memory by his transient association with her. Five miles away she was, in Flushing. So near, so very near, When these festivities were at an end, should he take horse and ride to visit her, to see her but once again? That was all he asked, all he craved, to see her once again. Strengthened by that sight of her, by word with her, perhaps, he would return to his duty, his yearnings quieted. Thus he de- ceived himself, mot knowing or not choosing to admit that the sight of her would bs but fuel to his passion. And then with startling, appalling suddenness his prayer was granted; granted without ‘any need to go five miles, five paces, or a single inch, She stood before him. (To be continued.)
