CHAPTER XXI.
Stratagem.

Armstrong; horse, nearly done, stag
gered over the bridge and up the slight
incline that led to the cathedral precincts.
Across the grounds surrounding the great
church had been raised a great earthwork,
and the battered west front of the sacred
building showed that war had been no re-
specter of sculptured beauty. A lone pike
man paced up and down before the cathe-
dral door. but paused as he saw this i'm
petuous rider, whose horse had stumbled
and fallen at the top of the rubbish heap.
What do you there?" shouted ARM
strong, springing nimbly from his fallen
horse. Didn't you hear the firing? Down
to the street and help your comrades; the
town Is attacked. Run"
II was told to stand here objected the
bewildered guard.
Run, confound you. Do you question
the word of an officer?"
The man. trailing his spear, ran, and
disappeared down the street.
Frances, Frances, are you within? Open
the small door: it is I, Armstrong"
Eyes, yes; knew you would come,'' he
heard her say, and then the welcome rat

Frances, you discourage me. I looked
upon my escape rather as triumph of
wit than Of muscle The setting of the
roundheads at each others threats in the
mist seemed an inspiration, and the cry
of Sanctuary gave me just the moment
Of time that was needed. Your estimate
of me Is just that of the Reverend Hend-
erson Of Edinburgh, who held I had
barely sense enough to direct stout
blow
mo, no, give you full credit for great
ingenuity, but we stumbled upon the
parlamentarians with no plans made.
Everything has been done on the spur Of
the moment, and has not been thought
out before the crisis came. few chance
remarks got us clear at Warwick; while
inspiration and a fog were your safety at
Lichf1eld, and even then by one brief in
slant of time. The recurrence of such
strokes Of luck and good management are
not to be looked for. Some time the mo-
ment needed will go against us, and then
all Is lost
True enough. What do you propose?"
Il propose to take to the main road
again, which must be near at hand on our;
left"
"You must remember we have no pass
from Cromwell now. The lieutenant has
it,
You will have a pass for yourself the
moment you are north Of Manchester,
which cannot be more than fifty or sixty
miles away. We must get over those
| miles as speedily as possible, therefore
| the main road is our route"
Eyes, if it were practicable, but surely
| danger lies thick along the main road"
! II do not think so. While in the cath
edral, heard troop after troop of men
going to the north. They will carry the
news of your capture, but not of your
escape. Until they beat in the door OF
the cathedral and search the place thoroly
no messenger will be sent north We are
ahead Of them once more, with the news
| of your capture travelling in front of us.
We will keep ahead, so long as we ride
fast, and until we stop somewhere for the
night, then, having relays of horses, while
we have only our own, they will pass u.s. .

WILL PUSH THE
INVESTIGATION
Panye Wants to Get It Out of the
Way Before Congress
Convenes.
Former Assistant Attorney General
Tyner Is Now the, Object Of
Investigation.
Now York Sun Special Service.

Washington. Aug. POSTMASTER Cen
eral Payne called the four assistant post
master generals in consultation yesterday
and urged that the investigation of their
various bureaus be hurried as much as
possible. Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow, who has charge of the
general investigation of postal service
scandals which has resulted in so many
sensational developments was also re-
quired to hurry the inquiry.
Mr.. Payne has said since his return that
the end of the investigation was in sight,
and he desires to have everything closed
UP by the date set for the converting Of
the special session Of congress.
The office of the assistant attorney gen.
eral for the postoffice department is the
remaining branch Of the postal service
which is at present receiving the atten-
ton of the Investigating authorities.
While the inquiry in this bureau has
been under way for some time, it has
been made in somewhat desultory fash
ion, necessitated by more pressing devel-
opments In other branches Of the service.
The rest Of the general inquiry now be-
ing we'll in hand, however, Mr.. Bristow
has assigned more than dozen inspectors
to this particular bureau and has told
them to work from now on uninterupt-
eddy. nv.
The inquiry will embrace all official acts
of former assistant Attorney General
James N. Tyner, who was summarily dis
missed some time ago after the sensa-
tional safe breaking incident in which
Mrs, Tyner figured so prominently and the
relation that existed between Tyner and
Harrison J. Barrett, his nephew, formerly
assistant attorney in the assistant attor-
ney generals office and who later ap-
peared before the department as counsel
for many alleged fraudulent companies.
Postoffice department officers have
long asserted that conditions in the as
sistant generals office were very bad and
the rigid inquiry which from now on will
be closely pursued is expected to result

O.ce cl :ar of the clash. Armstrong was
not sparing of horse that belonged to
>cmc one else. At great risk to Ills neck
he raced thru the blind fog, sword in hand,
ready for. further opposition should he
meet it He emerged from the fog with
suddenness that startled him. The sun
had set. and there, barely mile away,
stood out against the darkening sky the
great red bulk of the cathedral, with it's
War-broken towers, and the little town
huddled at it's feet. At the same moment
he became aware that some one was thun-
dering after him, and again he dug the
cruel spurs into the laboring horse. A
glance over his shoulder showed him the
colonel breaking thru the bank Of fog,
and he thought of turning and fighting him
on the run, but the sound Of firing had
ceased, and he knew the colonel would
prove a stouter combatant than the
Frenchman, so he hurried on. Aside from
this, Lichfield had been reused by the roar
of the guns. and he saw the long, narrow
street that lay between him and the cath
edral becoming alive with pikemen, and
knew he would have his work cut out for
him If he was to get safely thru the town.
AS soon as he came within earshot he
shouted to them:
"Barricade the street The king is upon
US. have just escaped. Our mon are on
the retreat. Defend the town to the south.
Barricade! Barircade!'' Thus he clattered
thru Litchfield, shouting.
Soldiers are so accustomed to the word
of command that they obey first and think
after, If at all. Seeing a rider in the COS !.
tune Of a cavalier come tearing down upon
them, they made hasty preparation for
stopping him, but mis- tone Of authority
was SO well assumed that they gave way
before him, and began the running out of
carts and whatever other distractions
they could lay their hands upon, to make
the way difficult for the oncoming colonel,
who swore as loudly at their stupidity as
if he were the kings own.
What are you about, you accursed clod-
hoppers? Don't you know kings man
