 And yet the unexpected was no, cutie all. The alternative existed, though a very desperate one. There was the rebellion in which Tucker had sought fruitltssly hitherto to cn. gage him.

1 Colonel Holles, soldier and adven- turer. returns to England. the iand of his birth. when war is declared with Hollond. He comes to odgt with Martha Quinn, wealthy hostess of the PAul's Head, in PAuls Yard, i London.
 It is dangerous for the colonel to secure commission in the English army because the name of Randall Holles, father of the colonel, is on the warrant for the execution of the late king.
 1 His Grace of Albemarle. friend of the colonel's promises Holes q com mission but is forced to give the ap- l pointment to a friend of His Grace of Buckingham instead.
 Martha Quinn proposes marriage to the colonel but Holes refuses her 1 offer. The colonel is in despair when Albemarle tells him that he has no commission for him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 ITO be snatched upa gain by some debt-ridden pimp who wants to escape his creditors" said Holles. his tone betrayfng at last some of the bitterness fermenting in his soul. Albemarle stood sorrowfully re- garding him. "'This hits you hard, Randall. know"
 Pooh. Hard hits have mostly been my portion"
 ''1 know" Albemarle paced to the window and back. his head sunk be- f.rhn Iat Al 1,a to halt before the Colonel. Keep me informed of where you are lodged, and look to hear from me again as seon as may be. Be sure that will do my best.''
 The Colonel's glance kindled again. It was flicker Of the expiring flame Of hope.
 You really think that something else will offer7"
 His grace paused before answer- ing, and, in the pause. the sorrowful gravity Of his face increased.
 ITO be frank with you. Randsl. I hardly dare to think it. Chances for such as you are, as you understand, not frequent, But the unex- pected may happen sooner than we dare 10 hope. If it does. be sure m not forget you. Be sure of that"
 Holes thanked him steadily and rose 10 depart, his radiance quenched, despondency in every line of him.
 Albemarle watched from under iurrowed brows. As he reached tho door the Duke detained him.
 Randall! A moment"
 The Colonel turned and waited whilst slowly Albemarie approached him. His grace was deep in thought, and ho hesitated before speaking.
 You you are not urgently in need Of money, trust?" he said at last.
 The Colonel's gesture and laugh conveyed shamefaced admission that he was.
 Albemarle's eyes considered him moment still. Then, slowly, he drew 2 purse from his pocket. It was ap- rarently a light purse. He unfast- encd it.
 "lf loan will help you until 70
 No, no." cried Holes, his pride srou4d against accepting what amounted almost Co aims.
 Even go the repudiation was no more than half.hcarted. Hut there was no attempt from Albemarle to combat 1t. He did not press the offer
