anu saw Armstrong alone in the lower
hall, pacing up and down with fine
swGgger of Scottish Indifference, which
he must have been far from feeling
while the doorway was blocked by two
guards holding grounded pixies. The
came bounding UP the stair two at a
time. All the guards. above and below
seemed struck with simultaneous alert
ness and made motion which. If con.
tinued, would have brought their
weapons to bear on the prisoner, but a
slight signal from the officers hand
brought back their former stolidity.
"Oh, Mr.. Armstrong. l merely wished
to know at what hour we set out to-
morrow"
"Do we set out tomorrow" he asked
in whisper.
"Yes, there is no obstacle between
here and oxford. l was up so late
last night, and that, with this long,
dragging journey today, has tired ME.
All wished to know was the hour for
tomorrow"

II shall have nothing to ask except
that this Scot be allowed to pass Tn
scathed to his home"
Cromwell gaZed intently at her for q
moment, and she returned his look
clear eyed and unabashed. He replied
slowly:
"If l were willing to harm the Scot
the case would be much simpler than
it is You left your home thinking only
of your brother. but now the stranger
occupies at least part of your mind"

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,

CHAPTER XXI.

"HERE had been a flashing 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 I came in from the
stables l 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
appeared up the stair. l waited and
waited, but she did not return. The
officer was now by my side. chattering
away about something to which 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.
"Of course not I see that plainly
now. but L give you my word it was

dred miles day on my road home"
There is sometimes real speed in -ap-
parent slowness."
True We shall be guided by cir
cumstances, of course. Much will de-
pend on the hour Of the day we are
done with Oxford"
Frances said nothing more. for she
saw that the stop at Banbury would
have to be managed from oxford, and
that it would require some tact on her
part to arrange ii. The ever increasing
moon was against her, for if there was
much delay at oxford, not only would
Armstrong be the more impatient to
get north, but night would soon be al
most as light as day, and therefore
travel would only be limited by the en-
durance of themselves and their horses.
She wished Cromwell had selected
some spot at least fifty miles farther
away than Banbury, but, with a sigh.
accepted the conditions presented to
her and resolved to do her best
At Banbury she had no difficulty in
leading her unsuspicious comrade to
the Banbury Arms. and there they left
old John with his crippled horse The
landlord was quiet, furtive looking
man, with manner that suggested an
intermittent CHANGING over the shout
der Frances resolved to say nothing
to him at this time, believing they had
come SO quickly from Northampton
that she was in advance of any i'll
structions he was TO receive. but in this
she was mistaken. With Cromwell to
decide was to act, and some one had
evidently come through in the night.
While they halted, waiting the prepare

Cromwell? The man looked dunn

answered quietly enough, The general

Even then glimmer of sense came to
ME, and / explained that the general
had passed us that afternoon, and
wondered IL he had stopped at North
ampton. The officer said he had, and

If that officer has given us the right
direction? 1t seems to me that we
should be bearing farther south for
Oxford. But perhaps the road takes a
turn presently"
"The road is right for the way we are
going. We pass through Banbury,
which is not much longer than the di-
rect route. l intend to leave old John
at Banbury, and with him this per-
nit, which will be a danger to carry

close to her. but Armstrong could not
fail to perceive that the girl shrank
from his proximity. and this abashed
him. silencing his song and popularity.
But a lover must be bold Ii he would
prosper. Here was a heaven sent OPP
portunity. and what more can man
ask than that? In an hour or two they
would be in the midst of thronged
city, where she would meet the friends
she expected to see. Who could pre-
dict what might happen? 1t was pos
sible she would elect to remain in Ok
ford. One or more of her friends might
accompany her back to Durham. Now
or never was the motto. Yet he had
not the least notion how he ought TO
begin, but thought that in such a crisis
great deal must depend on the pre-
sentation of the case. Why had he let
slip SO many chances OF getting infor-
nation on n subject that now doomed
with new Importance before him? They
had gone mile or two in silence. q
silence in marked contrast TO his So
niterous setting out. Frances feared
that her seemingly sullen Indifference
had offended him, and, glancing sur
reptitiously at him from under her long
lashes, met his own eyes fixed upon
her. She smiled little and said:
Have You no more songsT'
II have one more" he answered,
speaking hurriedly. but l have never
sung ii before, and am just little in
doubt how 10 begin. l think if l got
the measure of it could carry it ON,
but am not sure"
Very well, let me hear the song. 10

"No. 1t is love song, pure and
simple"
oh" said the girl, with coldness
that froZe instantly his budding en-
thusiasm. She sat up straighter on her
horse and turned her face resolutely
toward oxford. as If she did not APP

| Armstrong was stricken dumb Mt find

"Why do you say that? Are you not

knew that they were come to the edge
Of declaration which she had hoped
might be avoided Several times on
the way the danger seemed to approach
and vanish, but now the glow of his
luminous eyes were not to be mistaken.
In them she read consuming love of

was with him.
"What important matters are to be
