Frances retreated and let herself out
of the room. On the stair head at the
end of the passage, well out of possible
earshot, two soldiers stood on guard,
and between them an elderly woman,
who Immediately advanced when she
saw the girl leave the generals room.

piled Frances. The woman appeared
nonplused and stood hesitating, but at
that moment the officer who had con-

preached. II wish to speak with Mr..

Is he?"
"One moment, madam, if you please"
replied the officer, knocking at the

to enter, but the single word, "Oxford,"
uttered in a deep voice, came from
within. The subordinate appeared to
understand and with bow to the lady

She walked to the head Of the stair
and saw Armstrong alone in the lower
hall, pacing up and down with fine
swagger Of Scottish Indifference, which
he must have been far from feeling,
while the doorway was blocked by two
guards holding grounded pixies. The
moment the young man saw her he
came bounding up the stair two at
time. All the guards, above and below,
seemed struck with simultaneous alert

tinued, would have brought their

CHAPTER XXI.

ZEN HERE had been a lashing of
rain and a clatter of thunder
over Northampton in the night,
as if the town were again be-
sieged, but morning broke clear and
beautiful, and when the pilgrims got
out into the country again the fresh
ness of the air, the sparkle Of the rain
drops on the trees caused the world to
seem newly made. The girl rode silent
and thoughtful, but the young man
was bubbling over with high spirits.
He suddenly threw back his head and
laughed aloud, as if some humorous
recollection had come to him.
'That poor officer must have thought
me mad. When l came in from the
stables 1 called for the landlady and
asked where you were She said you
were in your room. then requested
her to find out if you would see me for
a moment. and without reply she dis

officer was now by my side. chattering
AWAY about something to which I gave
no attention. All at once the absurd
idea struck me that you were with
Cromwell. taken there by the officer,
and that Old Noll was browbeating
you and threatening you. to learn some
thing Of me and what was about"
mo one asked me anything about
you or your business" said the girl,
