.<< Nd who might be these kins-
- n folk?" questioned the man
~ with sharp eyes upon her.
He was noticing much, this
pallid rogue, who was not blinded by
any prejudice touching English lads in
general. and the house Of Musgrove in
particular.
Il am brother to Capt. Walter Mus
grove" Thomsine spoke. still with a
notion that that dear name were one
to conjure with.
Now sink my soulr' crowed the
drawer. and slapped his knee and gazed
at her. admiring.
He knew, for he never could tell when
he might turn chance matter to his
profit, that Captain Musgrove, his pa
tron, had no brothers, but he knew
also that the captains sister, Lord
Carisford's betrothed, had been looked
for in Oxford on the day preceding.
Though he was a man unlettered In
booklore, he could. at need, put two
and two together; He did 50 now. and
swording foreign fellow were discreet,
yes but, in the long run, il were more
of profit to lay pranksome gentle
woman under an obligation for which
she all her life might well be pleased
was minded to take 1t.
Thus resolved. he rose to his feet, OBJ
"Say no more! I see well enow how
you should be fain to go hence. good
mistress
Thomsine never changed countenance.
Indeed, at that moment she held the
discovery OF her sex the merest trifle,
when weighed against the mighty mat
ter that she had in hand.
Then thou wilt suffer me to go?"
she questioned, direct as the lad that
she feigned to be.
.'Ay. surely, mistress. An you be
taken here. 'twere misfortune indeed.
and quiet, mistress-honest Toby of the
Red Lion-never one to set a tale rum
ming through the streets that might
be TO the discredit of a great family.
Aye, you can trust me. Many a pretty
one hath trusted me ere now. and
not in vain"
It takes evil rightly to understand
evil His insinuations all were lost on
Thomsine Musgrove.
It trust thee, follow. and I thank
thee" was her simple speech, with hand
on the latch. And / will requite thee"
Aye, aye" he leered. BE sure thou
wilt!' I'll see to I that thou dost,
good, my mistress.
That last was not meant for Thom-
sine's ears, nor did 1t reach them.
Already she was halfway down the
stairs moment later she stood in
the street outside the Red Lion and
asked herself-her whole concern
whittier she now should turn in quest
of the elusive and all-important Won

where the mist fell softly. thick almost
as rain.

farther, and now. indubitably. she
heardheard behind her the noise Of a

reached the inevitable moment for
which she had made no plan.
She turned, lonely little figure, in
the wide, water-soaked meadow. and
she waited. with face uplifted. She saw

With the courage of sheer despera-

his word of the early morning hours
"Well?" she said.
His narrowed eyes were sword-points,
his mouth a thin, gray line.
''This-is not Walset," he spoke softly.
She might have answered that she had
never claimed that 1t was; that she had
not hidden him to follow her. But she
held such pleading too contemplate.
Eye to eve as they stood. he could
read her purpose to mislead him. as
clearly as She a half-hour before. had
read his purpose to trust her guidance:
Thou has of malice led me astray,
he halted. And the hour Of the fight
belize row Is past"
Very gently he spoke. but the knuck-
les of the hand upon his sword-hilt
showed white dents.
Not till that moment did she realize
that she had done him wrong, and
great wrong. OF sudden she saw his
tense, relentless face, not menacing
only, but righteously accusing. She
would fain have closed her eyes to shn.
out the sight, but found no power to
compel her stiffened muscles.
But thou shalt not harm my brother
she painted. Me thou canst slay."
Indeed. for one piercing second IN
which she was conscious In all the
world Of nothing but his eyes that held
her eyes, she thought that that mo-
ment surely was to be her last.
