CHAPTER Lvn.
The Man in the Red Uniform.

From a vessel lying beyond the
shadows that stretched three miles
from the Greek shore a puff of smoke
broke balloon-like, to be followed, a
moment after. by a muffled report.
The crowds of people clustered
along the towns front cheered wildly.
Every day for weeks they had been
watching: blue-eyed. dusky Alba
mans. with horse-hair capotes- and
,pistoled girdles: supple. lighter COM
lplexioned Greeks in the national kir-
tie: Suliotes. whose mountain Wild
nesses We're reflected in their dress;
and a miscellaneous mixture of citi-
zens of every rank and age.
For this vessel bore the coming
savior of the Grecian nation, the great
English peer whose songs for years
had been sung in their own Romaic
tongue, whose coming had been prated
of so long by their primates-he who
should make them victorious against
the Turk. Was it not he who. in
Cephalouia,. on his way hither, had
fed from his own purse the flying ref
ugees from Scio and Patras. and sent
them back with arms in their hands?
Was he not the friend of their own
Prince Mavrocordato. who in this
same stronghold of Missolonghi had
fought off Omer Pasha and his 10000
troops, and now controlled the provi-
sional government of Western Greece?
Was Ii not he who had sent 200, 600
piastres to outfit the fleet before
whose approach Yusuff Pasha's squad
ron had withdrawn sullenly to Le-
panto?

vessel and had found a footsore way
overland.
The metropolitan had called a spe-
cial service in the church for his
Lordship's deliverance- Now his ship,
escaping rocks and the enemy. had
anchored safely in the night, and the
roar of salutes from the Speziot briggs
of war that lay in the harbor had
walked the slee ping port. Since day
light the shore had been a moving
mass. sprinkled with brilliant figures,

There was one who watched that

few hours away. Tonight, since she
put to sea with the dawntide, Gordon
was to come for a last farewell.
As Teresa sat waiting in the garden,
she tried not to think of the tomorrow,
the empty, innumerable to-morrows.
1t was already quite dark, for there
was no moon; she was thankful for
this. for he could not so readily see her
pallor. He should carry away a re-
collection of hope and cheerfulnass,
not of agony or tears. With a main
ory of what she had been singing the
night of Blaouiere's coming. she lifted
her harp and began softly ana braYe

The effort was too great. The harp

bowed her head on the arm of the
bench and burst into sobbine.
The twing of the fallen harp called
loudly to one whose hand WAS on the
postern gate while he listeued. He
came swiftly through the dark.

against his breast. So he held her till

When Gordon spoke it was to tell of
sanguine news from the English COM

and German officers to serve under
him, cheerful detail that Gained her.

The Farewell.

In the garden the roses were as
fragrant the. orange trees as spicy
sweet as ever. every sound and scent
and in so many evenings past. Yet
Teresa's eyes were heavy, her heart
like lead within her breast.
Since the hour she had sung to her
harp-it lay beside her now-when
Gordon had found her there and told
her the outcome of that library con-
ference in which she had had no part,
it seemed rs though dreary decades
had passed. She had lain in his arms
at first breathless. stricken with
weight of voiceless grief. while he
spoke hopefully, calmly of the cause
and his determination. The great cry
into which her agony bled at length
had gripped his soul She had felt
his heart leap and quiver against her,
shaken with her sobs, and knew he
suffered with her every pang. 1t Was
a realization of this that had finally
given her seh-control and a kind of
calnness.
All had at last been put in readiness.

properties, Gordon had utilized all his

she said chokingly.
The great clock struck ponderously
from the palace hall--a clamorous re-
minder that he must hasten. for the
night was almost without star and
a wreathing nebulous mist forbade
rapid riding. Through all his prepa-
rations this hour had reared as the
last harbor light of home. 1t had
come and gone like a breath on glass.
In the still night the chime sounded
like a far spired bell. Some banal
freak of memory brought to Gordon's
mind the old church dial jutting over
Fleet street in London and the wooden
wild men which had struck the hour
with their clubs as he Issued from
John Murray's shop the night of his
maiden speech in Parliament.
The strokes counted twelve-mid-
night. She shuddered as he rose to his
feet.

clasped her close.

He left her and went few steps into
the darkness. She thought him gone
But he came back swiftly, his hands
cropping.
He heard a shuddering sob tear its
way from her heart, but she stood mo-
tlonless in his arms. her cheek grown
suddenly cold against his own.
In that moment a strange feeling had
come to her that they clasped each 9TH
er now for the last time. 1t was as
though an icy hand were pressed upon
her heart. stilling its pulsations.
She felt his arms again release her
and knew she was alone.
1t lacked an hour of day when Cor

streak of dawn strove vainly TO shred

his past rolled up like "a useless pa

and unimagined. Beneath the bitter

enough. a kind of peace wider than he

Absorbed in his reflections, he did not
