have a party in pursuit. The run
twenty-four hours the start, and ship
leaves no tracks. When Mary left me
she was perhaps two-thirds Of league
from the rendezvous, and night was
rapidly falling. As her road lay through
a dense forest all the way she would
have a dark, lonely ride Of a few
minutes, and l was somewhat uneasy
for that part Of the journey. 1t had
been agreed that If everything was all
right at the rendezvous Mary should
turn loose her horse, which had al
ways been stabbed at Berkeley castle
and would quickly trot home. To
further emphasize her safety thread
would be tied in his forelock. The
horse took his time in returning and
did not arrive until the second morning
after the fight, but when he came l
found the thread and, unobserved, re-
moved It. l quickly took it to Jane,
who has II yet and cherishes it for the
mute message Of comfort 1t brought
her. In case the horse should not re-
turn I was to find token in hollow
tree near the place Of meeting, but the
thread in the forelock told us our
friends had found each other.
When we left the castle, Mary wore
under her riding habit suit of mans |
attire, and as we rode along she would
shrug her shoulders and laugh as II it |
were huge joke and by the most COM !
ical little pantomime call my attention |
to her unusual bulk. So when she |
found Brandon the only change neces- |
sary to make a man Of her was to
throw off the riding habit and pull on
the jack boots and SLOUGH hat. both of
which Brandon had with Linn.
They wasted no time, you may be
sure. and were soon under way. In a
few minutes they picked up the two
Bristol men who were to accompany
them. and when night had fairly fallen
eft the bypaths and took to the main
'oad leading from London to Bath and
Bristol. The road was a fair one-that
g, it was well defined and there was
40 danger Of losing it; in fact, there
vas more danger of losing ones self in
Is fathomless mudholes and quag-
hires. Brandon had recently passed
,ver it twice and had made mental
tote Of the worst places. so he hoped to
void them.
Soon the rain began to fall in soak
ng drizzle; then the lamps Of twilight
vent out, and even the shadows Of the |
light were lost among themselves in ,
binding darkness. 1t was one Of those /,
lack nights fit for witch travelling, d,
nd no doubt every witch in England ,
7as out brewing mischief. The horses
