All In flash the jesting mood was gone,
but that which took its place was strange
to me. Tears came, her bosom heaved And
then she would have passed me but 1
caught her hands and held them fast.

sweet sake, If not for Dicks or mine, have
naught to do with this DEVILS emissary of

But for once it seemed 1 had stretched
my privilege beyond the limit. She whipped
her hands from my hold and faced me
coldly.
''Sir Francis says you are a brave gentle
man, Captain Ireton. and though he knows
well what you would be about he has not
sent a file of men to put you in arrest. And
In return you call him names behind his
back. 1 shall not stay to listen, sir"
With that she passed again behind My
chair, and once again 1 heard her hand
upon the latch. But would say my say.
Forgive me, Margery, L pray you; twas

she must have gone before her answer
