were on their way through, and the hoofs of

Antonio was clear of the city with his lady in

spoke low and softly to them:
when he that should give law and uphold
right, deals wrong and makes white black

est men to be law unto themselves. Mount

have proved yourselves true men and good.
Thus 1t was that two men of the Dukes
Guard. Martolo and he whom they called
Bena Cthough OF his true name there is no
record), went together with Count Antonio
and his cousin, Tommasino. to secret fast
ness in the hill ); and there, in the course of
many days, Tommasino was healed of the
wound which the lieutenant of the guard had
given him, and rode his horse again. and
held next placeto Antonio himself In the band
that gathered round them. For there came
to them every man that was wrongfully op-
pressed and some came for love OF adventure
and because they hoped to strike good blows;
and some came whom Antonio would not re-
ceive, inasmuch as they were greater rogues
than were those whose wrath they fed from.
Such is the tale of how Count Antonio was
outlawed from the dukes peace and took to
the hills Faithfully have l set 1t down, and
whose will may blame the count and whose
will may praise him. For myself I thank

her with suitors. For. he said. in his bitter
humor, as he looked down on the dead body
of Robert de Bcauregard: II have lost TWO
good servants and four strong arms through
her. aud mayhap If I find her another
suitor she will rob me of yet another staiWart

So she abode In peace, indeed, but in sore
desolation and sorrow, longing for the day
when Count Antonio should come back to
