to escape his creditors,” said
Holles, his tone betraying at last
some of the bitterness fermentlng
in his soul.
Albeinai'le stood sorrowfuly rc-
garding him. “This hits you hard,
gandal, I know."
The Colonel recovered and forc-
_ed a laugh.
"Poohl Hard hits have mostly
been my portlon."
“I know.” Albemarle paced to
the window and back, his head
sunk between his shoulders. Then
he came to a halt before the Colon-
el. “Keep me informed of where
you are lodged, and look to hear
from me again as soon as may be.
_Be sure that I will do my best." '
The ’Colone1's glance kindled
again. lt was a flicker of the ex-
piring flame of hope.
"You really think that some-
thing else will offer?"
His grace paused before answer-
ing, and, in the pause. the sorrow-
ful gravity of his face increased.
"To be frank with you, Randal. I
hardly dare to think it. Chances for
such as you are. as you understand.

pected may happen sooner than we
dare to hope. if it does, be sure l'll
_:not forget you. Be sure of that.”
Holles thanked him steadily. and
rose to depart, his radiance
quenched, despondency in every
line of him.
Albemarle watched from under
furrowed brows. AB he reached
the door the Duke detained hlln.
“Randal! A moment."
The Colonel turned and waited
_whilst slowly Albemarle approach-
ed him. His grace was deep in
thought, and he hesitated before
speaking.
“You . . . you are not urgently
in need _of money, I trust?" he said
_at last. _ ,
The Colonel’s gesture and laugh
conveyed a shainefaced admission
_that he was. _
Albemarle’s eyes considered him
a moment still. Then, slowly, he
drew a purse from his pocket. It
was apparently a light purse. He

COLONEL HOLES retraced his
steps to the City on foot. A
hackney-coach, such as that in
which he had driven almost in tri-
umph to the Cockpit, was no longer
for him; nor yet could he submit to
the expense of going by water now
that the unexpected was all that
;i_tood between .himself and destitu-
on.
And yet the unexpected was not
quite all. An alternative existed,
though a very desperate one. There
was the rebellion in which Tucker
had sought fruitlessly hitherto to
engage him. The thought of it be-
gan to stir in his dejected mind, as
leacleu-footed he dragged himself
toward Temple Bar through the al-
most stifling hcot which was mak-
ing itself felt in London at the
end of that month of May. Tempta-
tion iirged him now, nourished not
only by the circumstance that in
rebellion lay his last hope of escap-
ing starvation, but also by hot
resentment against an inclement
and unjust government that drove
able soldiers such as himself into
the kennels, whilst befriending the
worthless minions who pandered to
the proflgacy of a worthess prince.
Vice, he told himself, was the only
passport to service in this England
of the restored Stuarts. Tucker and
Rathbone were right. At least what
they did was justified and hallowed
by the country’s,iieed of salvation
from the moral -leprosy that was
fastening itself upon it, n disease
more devastating and deadly than
this plague upon which the re-
publicans counted to arouse the
nation to a sense of its position.
I-Ie counted the cost of failure;
but he counted it derisively. His life
would be claimed. That was the
stake he set upon the boards. But.
considering that_it was the only
stake remaining him, why hesitate?
What, after all, was this life of his
worth that he should be tender of
setting it upon a last throw with
Fortune? Fortune favors boldness.
Perhaps in the past he ‘had not
been bold enough.
Deep in his musings he had
he was abruptly aroused by, a
voice. harsh and warnlngly com-
manding. 0
"Keep your distance, slr!"
Checking, he looked round to the
right. whence the order came.
He beheld a man with a pike,
who stood before a padlocked door
that was smeared with a red
cross a foot in length, above which
also in red was heavily daubed
the legendz'
LORD HAVE MERCY UPON US.
Taken thus by surprise, the
Colonel shuddered as at the con-
tact of something unclean. and
horrible. Hastily he stepped out
into the middle of the unpaved
street, and, pausing there a
moment, glanced up at the closed
shutters of the infected house.
Albemarle was frowning. He pon-
dered a moment; but only because
it was ever his way to move slowly.
Then he gently shook his head and
pursedhis heavy lips.
_ "I have also to consider. your
grace. whether Sir Harry is emi-
nently suitable to the office, and. to
be quite frank, and with all 'sub-
missiou. I must say that I cannot
think so."
Buckingham was taken _ aback.
He stared haughtily at Albemarle.
“I don't think I understand," he
said.
Albemarle fetched a sigh, and
proceeded to explain himself. '
“For iliis offlce~one of consider-
able responsibility-we require a
soldier of tried experience and
character. Sir Harry is no doubt en-
dowed with mnny commendable
qualities, but at his age it is ini-
possible that he should have gain
advantage the onerous duties
which would await him. Nor is that
the only obstacle. your grace. I
have not only chosen my man-
and such a man as I have describ-
ed-bu-t I have already offered, and
he has already accepted, the coin-
mission. So that post can no longer
be considered vacant.”
"But the commission was signed
only last nlghtby I-Ile - Majesty-
signed in blank. as I have reason to
know.”_ ,
"'I‘rue. But I am none the less
pledged. I am expecting at any mo-
ment now, _the gentleman upon

‘Buckingham interrupted him ar-

It is not a question of something
`else, your grace, but of this. I have
already obtained His Majesty‘s
sanction. If your grace requires
more explicit instruction I shallbe
happy to obtain you His Majesty's
commands in wrl-Ling.”
Albemarle Was checkmated_ He
sat there grim and impaseive as if
he were carved of stone. ' But his
mind was a seething cauldron of
anger. It was always thus. The
places of trust. the positions de-
manding experienced heads and

served to the best advantage -bY her
most 'meritorious sons, were con-
stantly being -flnng away upon the
worthless parasites that flocked
about Charles’ lecherous Court.
And he was the more a-ngered here,
because his hands were tied against
resistance by the very identity of

'Buckingham rose, smiling, and
Sir Harry bounced up with him,
