An interval of silence ensued, which
one of his companions chose to break
on his own account by starting up and
shouting:
sLet us go and break up the foe.

above the din, for we should never

some one, and a chorus of assent went
up.
"Gentlemen," said l, with great po-
likeness, II should be charmed to join
you in your game but that it must be
apparent to you that l am playing a
bigger game tonight The cards are
all against me. and must use all my
wits Lord Winthrop, is there back
way from your house?1
The young nobleman reused himself.
@My servants tell me- said he, that
there is q garden at the back of the
house, but l - 70 it.
However, if you Ike u t.y, Wen light

But this was not to my taste, for

The garden was black and silent

hear no sound save that of laughtc~

Its plain enough. Let us piece the
document together, read It and start
fair on the knowledge. That places us
again on equal terms. only with this
difference, that the best man wins.
Whereas now a man may be Satan

Sheppard threw an eager glance at
me. and / read assent in it. Nor was /
indisposed to agree to the proposal, odd
and unexpected as it came and involv-

pregnant a proposition | dared not
make up my mind on the instant. and
I suppose the man saw this, for, turn

and looked out upon the lawns, hum

again and faced me with his question

II agree" said.
Sheppard whistled softly and, as If
initiating the captain, leaned forth up
on the window. A light of satisfaction
played in Sercombe's gray-green eyes
for an instant. AS for Montgomery, I
do not suppose that he had any clear
notion of what 1t was all about.
"Then," said Sercombe, "the sooner
the better, and what time better than
today? p
81 agree to today" replied.
"Good! And now there remain only
the place and time,' said he.
II have no wish to have my head
broken saidsI bluffly, "or to be mis-
taken for hare, and so say the cas-.

II was in hopes" he said, smiling,
for he took no offense at my plainness

here knows. But you shall have ityour
own way"
"By all means let it be a dinner"
said Sheppard, suddenly springing up
from his seat. 'Mr. Greatorex, am
sure, would be loath to rob you of your
pleasure, Captain Sercombe, and in his
name l make bold to offer you the hos

my mouth to refuse, but was saved the

He held out his hand, but ere could
accept or refuse it Sheppard sprang
forward. "Allow me, captain" he
said.
"Ah,'' smiled Sercombe, in no way
abashed by my hesitation; lit is pity

Mr.. Sheppard"

I thought, he appeared to offer Ques-

innkeeper followed. and Sheppard went
after them, full of geniality to the last
and calling for Captain Sercombe's
cloak. Out of the window saw them
pass under the dim light of the oil
lamp before the doorway, and Shep-
pard was still ushering them across
the courtyard to the gateway Of the
castle.
Suddenly heard my name called in
a loud voice, and Montgomery started
to his feet and threw open the win

from the northerly side of the castle.
In an instant I recognized the cry Of
Sheppard, piercing shrilly through the
noise and clatter of a struggle. Shout
ing to Montgomery to follow me, I
dashed out of the room and down the
staircase, almost falling upon the slip
perry cobble of the courtyard in my
haste. As rose man grappled with
me; but, being now strung to fighting
pitch by my excited anticipations,
flung him heavily to the stones, where
he lay inert, and leaped over his body
to the assistance of Sheppard.

Sheppard. I caught him upon his re-
turn about midday and opened the sit

good to see his eyes sparkle at the rec
itation.

ment. "A treasure, buccaneers and a
high handed, murderous gang! Do

he smacked his thigh in sheer joyous

you forget that it is no child's play.

case pretty brazenly and boldly if we
decide to go forward"
He sprang from his chair. My dear
fellow, you amaze me-" said he. you

be quite open with you, and, as for
that, between you and me have every
intention of sticking to it. But this is
the least part of the matter We can

Sheppard picked up time table. ''Im-

Montgomery on the watch and very
eager. He had armed himself with a
shotgun, which be dragged about with
him very ostentatiously, and indeed /
had some ado to prevent him sitting
down to dinner with it. Sheppard had
been Informed Of his presence, and the
two promised to be capital friends.
Sheppard always had way direct to
the heart Of new acquaintance and:
with his indomitable gayety and his
inpulsive energy, was exceedingly at
tractive to Montgomery. I myself was
used with sincere respect, tempered by
4 little awe; but the boy showed imme-
date signs of positive affection for
Sheppard.

and presently, my eyes being now ac-
customed to the darkness, caught
