Ing. am tired Of 1t. You say l shall
beg on my knees to you, but you have
mistaken your own attitude for mine.

AYE, heavens! You did not think
such a man would blab out secrets of

to make terms with you, but l give
my commands, which you must rigidly
follow unless you court calamity. You
will take Armstrong to the king and
cease to block his way. You will see
that we are free to leave Oxford and
are unmolested while we are within
these walls. One false move and you
bring your doom upon you"

~ N the morning of the fourth day
Armstrong was delighted to
learn from De Courcy that the
king had recovered and would
see him at noon. The foreigner en-
gagged the envoy in long conversation,
the object Of which was to discover
whether or not the girl had said any
thing to him Of the excited conference
of the day before. The unsuspecting
Scot, entirely off his guard, thinking
he spoke with friend, was read by
the other like an open book, and De
Courcy was speedily convinced that
Frances Wentworth had kept her own
counsel. This gave the spy renewed
confidence, and as they walked down
the street together De Courcy held his
head higher than had been the case
when he last turned his back upon
the Crown inn. His buoyant nature
was quick to recover from depression,
and his malice, fed anew from his
late rebuff, set his alert mind at work
to contrive some plan whereby he
might salve his wounded pride and
avenge himself on the girl and his
favored rival, even at some slight risk
to himself.
Although the danger Of exposure
seemed imminent enough when he was
with her, he knew that as she grew
calmer and reflected upon the situa'
ton she would b. more and more re-
luctant to wreck everything in order to
bring punishment upon him. He would
get them out of Oxford that day if
possible, but he would instill poison
in the young lovers mind that would
take all sweetness from the journey.
De Courcy had offered to show Arm
strong the way to the kings rooms, SO
that there should be no delay when
the Scot set out for his appointment
at II o'clock, and they had now en-
tered the quadrangle Of Christchurch,
which was deserted save for the guards
at the gate. Armstrong thanked him for
his guidance, and was turning away.
when the other, who seemed about to
speak, glanced at the soldiers on duty,
then, thinking the spot Ill chosen for
what he had to say, invited the Scot to
his room. They went up stair together
and entered De Courcy's apartment, the
host setting out wine and asking his
guest to seat himself.
HAS the lady who accompanied you
quite recovered from her fatigue?" ask
ed De Courcy indifferently.
"Well. as told you, met her yes
terday for q few moments only, and
am sorry she was not in the highest
spirits, but she will be the better for
seeing the green fields again. Like my
self, she is of the country, and does
not thrive within the walls Of a town"
"Yes, I noticed that when she was In
London"
I'm London? Did you know her in
London?'
"Oh, hasn't she told you Of our re-
lationship? Perhaps should not have
mentioned It."
what do you mean by your rela-
tionship? You are French; she is pure
English"
De Courcy threw back his head and
laughed, unheeding and indeed IN
noticing the angry color mounting in
a face that had grown suddenly stern.

inn. Oxford was no longer the home of
learning for any art save that OF war.
A few students still strolled its thor
oughfares, but the military man was
everywhere. The colleges had been
turned into barracks and arsenals; the
king himself lived in Christchurch,
over the towers of which foated the
royal standard, now almost the only
red spot in all England.
AS the party came to halt the OIL
Ger turned to Armstrong. "a propitious
meeting" he said. Here comes the
lord great chamberlain himself"
Armstrong noted the approach OF a
man with a countenance so remarkable
that it might have been taken as Vp'
icaI Of war. From brow to chin was

The polite intruder locked the door
and put the key in his pocket, then adj
vanced toward her. She retreated to
the other room, and for a moment he
thought she was about to barricade
herself within, but she reappeared on
the instant with a jeweled dagger in
her hand.
II warn you, sir, that If you ap-
proach within striking distance I will
pierce you to the heart"
The Frenchman smiled and waved
his fine white hands with a gesture of
inimitable grace.

De Courcy had risen, and now bowed
slightly to his perturbed guest.
''Sir, you shall meet me at II, and
it will be my privilege to conduct you
to his majesty. Good morning."
He stood by the window overlooking
the quadrangle and watched his late
visitor cross it, staggering once as IL
he had partaken freely Of the wine
which remained untasted on the ia

archway De Courcy laughed.

Paris &, ca: Last Wednesday We
received our first shipment of two cars
of western cattle. They were from
Bismarck, N. D., and were of only
medium feeding class, selling at $3.50

here last Thursday Of good beef class,
sales ranging from 1886 to s4.70. We
expected some cattle from Hebron to-
day but they are delayed and will not
be here until Wednesday. There has
been so much rain in North Dakota
that cattle are probably generally not
quite as ft for shipment as in other
