Colonel Holles thought he might find pleasant distraction, nnd at the some time perform a lueritor- lous deed, in slitting the ears of ‘that black fanatic who was whipp- lug up the passions of the mob.

"Life is marvelously coincident." the Duke reflected, conceiving ob- lllseness to be the proper wear for the innocence he precended. "Colu- cidence is the salt that rescues ex- istence from inslpidity."

“So? And it was to rescue this that you rescued me; and so that you luight have opportunity for rescuing me, no doubt yourself you contrived the danger."

“l contrived the danger?" He was. ngllnst. The contempt of her 'l0ll»l llnd cut him like s. whip. it made him see that he was ridiculous ill her eyes. and His Grace oi Buckingham liked to be ridiculous as little as another, perhaps less than most. "How can you think li of me?"

Within the chair, still very pale. but quite composed again by now, sat Miss Fnrquhnrson, regarding his grace with a very odd express- ion, an expression best described as speculative.

“Child," he exclaimed, s hauli- upon ~his heart, n startled look on his handsome face, "l vow that you hove taught me the manning of fear. For I was never frightened in my life until today. None may cull me devout, yet devout l feel nt this moment. From my soul I rc- turn thanks to Heaven that by n miracle l chanced to be here to save you from ‘this peril!"
