"Henry Page was one Of my most intimate
friends, but / had never visited his patrmo-
NAL estate, Oak Hall, not many miles distant
from London, until this occasion. Much Of
the young heirs time was spent abroad after
the demise of his father, and even while in
England, he seemed averse to living on his es-

to prefer the gay, social whir of the metropolis
to the quetudo Of the country

So they ran on, holding each other by both
hands, exchanging smiles and lovely looks,
and melting minutes into seconds; and SO they
might have continued all night long. But
presently there was a noise behind them; and
they were aware OF the short young lady, with
her finger on her lips.
"Saints" she cried, 'but what a noise ye

Throughout this furious and rapid passage,
Lawless had looked on heplessly. and even
when all was over, and Dick, already re-arisen
to his feet, was listening with the most pas
sionate attention to the distant hustle in the
lower stories Of the house. the old outlaw was
still wayerng on his legs like a shrub in a
breeze of wind, and still stupidity staring on
the face Of the dead man.

So saying, Dick opened the wallet; within

letter addressed % Lord Wensleydaie, and
sealed with my Lord Shoreby's seal. The

CHAPTER II.
"IN MINE ENEMIES HOUSE,

IN MINE ENEMIES HOUSE,
Sir Daniels residence in Shoreby was tall,
commodious, plastered mansion, framed in
caryen oak, and covered by a low-pitched roof
of thatch. To the back there stretched gar
den, full Of fruit-trees, alleys, and thick ar
bors, and overlooked from the far end by the
tower of the abbey church.
The house might contain, upon pinch, the
retinue of greater person than Sir Daniel ;
but even now it was filled with hubbub. The
court rang with arms and horseshoe irons
the kitchen roared with cookery like bees
hive; Ministries, and the players of instru-
ments, and the cries of tumblers, sounded
from the hall. Sir Danil, in his profusion, in
the gaiety and galantry Of his establishment,
riyalled with Lord Shoreby and eclipsed Lord
Risingham.
All guests were made welcome, Minstrels,
tumblers, players Of chess the sellers Of rel
les, medicines perfumes, and entertainments,
and along with these every sort OF priest,
friar or pilgrim, were made welcome to tho
lower table, and slept together IN the ample
lofts or on the bare Loards Of the long dining
hall.
On the afternoon following the wreck Of
the Good Hope, the buttcry, the kitchens the
stables, the covered caitshed that surr undcd
two sides Of the court. were all crowded by
idle people, partly belonging TO Sir Daniel s
establishment and attired in his livery Of muir
rey and blue, partly nundescupt strangers at
tractod TO the town by greed, and received by
the knight through policy and because 1t was
the fashion Of the time.

tion, the extreme chill Of the air, and the APP
proach Of night, combined 10 keep them undci

corpse and then Lawless, who had been look
ing ON upon these last manmuvres with some
tlckerlng returns of intelligence, suddenly
drew black arrow from below his robe, and
therewlth pinned the paper in its place. The
sight of this d!sreSpect, or, as it almost seemed
cruelty to the dead, drew cry of horror from
young shelton; but the old outlaw only
laughed.
NAY, will have the credit for mine order"
he hiccupped. my Jolly boys must have the
credit n't-the credit, brother;" and then,
shutting his eyes tight and orening his mouth
like precentor, he began to thunder i'll a
formidable voice.

eye, stamped home the meaning of his words.

the corridor and proceeded to founder down
stairs, lurching against the wall.
So soon rs he was out of sight, Dick re-
turned to his hiding-place, rcsolutely fixed to
see the matter out. Wisdom, indeed Anoved
him to be gone; but love and curiosity were
stronger.
limo passed slowly for the young man, bolt
upright behind the arras. The fire in tle
room began TO die down, and the lamp to burn
low and TO smoke. And still there was no
word OF tho return of any one to these upper
quarters of the house; st>Il the faint hum and
clattcr of the supper party sounded from far
below; and STILL under the thick fall of the
SHOW, Shoreby town lay silent upon every side.
AT length, however, feet and voices began to
draw near upon the stair; and presently after
several of Sir Daniels guests arrived upon the
landing, and, turning down the corridor, be-
held the torn arras and the body of the spy.

Lawless, flushed crimson, with his eyes in
jectod, yacillating on his feet, drew still I'm
steadily nearer. At last he haZily caught sight
of his commander, and, in despite of Dicks
imperious signals, hailed him instantly and
loudly by his name.
Dick leaped upon and shook the drunkard
furiously.
"Beast!" he hissed-"bcast and no mani 1t
is worse than treachery to be 80 witless. We
may all be shent for thy sotting."
But Lawless only laughed and staggered,
and tried to clap young Shelton on the back.
And just then Dicks quick ear caught a
rapid brushing in the arras. He leaped to-
wards the sound, and the next moment piece
Of the wall-hanging had been torn down, and
Dick and the spy were sprawling together in
its folds. over and over they rolled, Crap
ping for each others throat, and still bafled
by the arras, and still silent in their deadly
fury. But Dick was by much tile stronger,
and the spy lay PROSTATE under his knee, and,
with single stroke Of the long poniard,
ceased to breathe.

only broken by the Pickering of the flames
and the Missing of green log in the chimney:
but presently, to Dicks strained hearing,
here came the sound of some one walking
with extreme precaution; and soon after tho
door opened, and little black-facsd dwarf
lsh fellow, i'll Lord Shoreby's colors, pushed
frst his head, and then his crooked body, into

Then no looked below the furniture
and examined the lamp; and at last. with an
ar OF cruel disappointment, was preparing to
go Hway as silently rs he had come, when
down he dropped upon his knees, picked up
something from among the rushes on the floor,
examined it, and with every signal of delight,
concealed it in the wallet at his belt.
Dicks heart sank, fer the object in question
was a tassel from his own girdlc; and it was
plain TO him that this dwarish spy, who took
a malign delight in his employment, would
lose no time in bearing it to his master, the
baron. He was half tempted to throw aside
the arras, fall upon the scoundre, and at the
RISK OF his life, remove the teIl-talo token.
And while he was still hesitatiug new cause
OF concern was added. A voice, hoarse and
broken by drink, began to be audible from the
stair: and presently after, uneven, wandering
and heavy footsteps sounded without along the
passage.
"What make yc here, my merry men among
the greenwood shaws ? 'sang the voice. "What
make ye here! Hey! sots, what make We
here?' it added, with rattle of drunken
laughter; and then, once more breaking into
song:
Ifye should drink the clary wine
Fat FriaT John, We friend q mine
y should eat, and ye should drink,
Who shall sing the mass dye think?"
Lawless, alas rolling drunk, was wandering
the Ihouse, seeking for n corner wherein over
to slumber off the effect Of his potations. Dick
inwardly ragged. The SPY, at first terrified, had
grown treasured rs he found he had to deal
with an intoxicated man, and now, with
movement of cat-like rapdity, slipped from
the chamber, and was gone from Richards
eyes.
What was to be done? If he lost touch of
Lawless for the night, he was loft impotent,
whether to plan or carry forth Joanna res
cue. If, on the other hand, he dared to adj
dress the drunken outlaw, the spy might still
lie lingering within sight and the most fatal
consequences ensue.
1t was, nevertheless, upon this last hazard
that Dick decided. Slipping from behind the
tapestry, he stood ready in tho doorway of the
chamber, with warning hand appraised.
