and replaced them in his coat with a
sigh. At dawn he set off again for
Corydon.
But Cranmer tottered back into his
daughters room with the face of q
dead man. Its all upn' he cried
in a CHASTITY whisper. II must get
away from here tonight. There's only
to stay here, my girl; I'll see Scull
tonight and set him upon this Lar
renee; and if he succeeds in getting
the plans back, you are to bring them
on to me at Detroit. God, how came he
to suspects You-did you-no, you're
true Goodby! Do as 1 bid you.
Goodby Soul will be over soon
he'll take care of you. I'm glad you
are soon to be married"
He strained the weeping girl to his
breast and hurried away. A boat
across the foaming river and a
stumble through the dark brought him
to Scull's door. A cautious tattoo
summoned the man from his bed and
the story was told, while terror
seemed to fix its icy hands more and
more deeply in Cranmer's throat with
every hurrying moment. Soul looked
at his white face and exulted secretly
at his collapse. A seeming contempt
for the man before whom he had so
often cringed filled his heart. "And
what do you expect me to do?" he
asked coldly.
A flash of his old turbulence re-
turned to Cranmer. "Do?" he whis-
pered hoarsely. There's but one thing
for you to do, my pretty man. You
will have to get those plans back from
that skulking rackabones. It's your
own business how. Then give them to
Lydia. You may think you've done
fine thing in giving up the work that
you came here to do, but 1 promise
you that England has a long arm.
You'll not escape il you fail u.s."
Scull shrank again from his menac-
ing gesture. His abject protestations
of faithfulness fell hastily from his
trembling lips, and the spy, with q
growl of satisfaction, stole out again
into the dark and silent night.

Her voice broke. At her first words
Blackfords face had taken on an ex-

deeper and deeper as he listened and
glanced from one to the other of his
two friends. Now, as her voice fall

"Toinette, in heavens name, what is

credulously.
"Toinette, you're joking!'

and spoke through sobs that shook

Blackford turned to David. His
friend had taken a step backward at
Toinette's first rush of reproach and
now leaned against the low counter,
trembling, pale as one who has re-
ceived mortal wound. The shock
of her accusation coming on the heels
of the very moment when he had
isked his life to confront Cranmer,
stunned him.
Only his high, indignant pride rose
against the sorry riddle-a stubborn
pride which babe him listen to her

the right may be.
