CHAPTER VI
The Lover*.
The faHhlonnble tailor wan done
with Jack's equipment. " Franklin had
seen and approved the admirably
aliaped and fitted garments. The
young man and his friend Solomon
had moved to their new 16dgings on
Bloomsbury square. The scout had
acquired a suit for street wear and
was now able to walk abroad without
exciting the multitudes. The Doctor
was planning what he called "a snug
little party.” So he announce*! when
Jack and Solomon came, adding:
“But first you are to meet Margaret
and her mother here at half after
four."
Jack made careful preparation for
that event. Fortunately It was a clear,
bright day after foggy weather. Solo
mon had refused to go with Jack for
fear of lielng In the way.
“I want to see her an’ her folks, but
I reckon ye’ll have yer hands full to
day," he remarked. "Ye don’t need no
scout on that kind o’ reconnoiterin’.
You go on ahead an’ git through with
yer smackin’ an’ bym-by I'll straggle
In."
Precisely at four thirty-five Jack
presented himself at the lodgings of
his distinguished friend. He has said
In a letter, when Ids dramatic adven
tures were all behind him, that tlijs
was the most thrilling moment he had
known. “The butler bad. told me that
the ’ladies were there,” he wrote.
"Upon my word it put me out of
bfeuili climbing tluit little flight of
stairs. But It was In fact the end of
a long Journey. It Is curious that my
feeling then should remind me, as it
dpes, of moments when I have been
close up to the enemy, within his
lines, and lying hard against the
ground in some thicket while British
soldiers were tramping so near I could
feel the ground shake. In the room
I saw Lady Hare and Doctor Frank
lin standing side by side. What a
smile he wore as he lookVd o,t yne! I
have never known a human being who
had such a cheering light in llisT coun
tenance. I have seen it brighten the
darkest days of the war aided hy the
light of his’words. His faith anti good
cheer were Tmnjovable. I felt the
latter when he said:
“ the look of alarm In his face.
Now for a pretty drama!’
“Mrs. Hare gave me her hand and
I kissed it and said that I had ex-
[xvted Margaret and hoped that she
was not ill.'There was_-n thistledown
touch on my cheek from behind and
turning I saw the laughing face I
sought looking lip at me. I.tell you,
my mothoFr there never was such TST"
pair of eyes. —Their long, dark"*^ashes
anil (hi* -glow between them I retuetn-
ber chiefly. The latter was the friend
ly, light of her spirit. To me it was
like a (Ehtdlcin the window to guide
my feet. Vome,’ tt seemed to say.
'Hen* Is a welcome for you.’ I saw
the pink in her cheeks, the crimson—
In her lips, the white of her neck, the
glow of her abundant hair, the shape
liness of brow and ncse and eTTTr^riP
that first glance. I saw the beating of
her heart even. I remember there was a
tiny mole on her temple under the
edge of that beautiful, golden crown
of hers. It did not_£fleape my eye. I
tell you'she wasTalr as the first vi
olets in Meadowrale on a dewy morn
ing. Of course, she was at her best.
It was the last moment in years of
waiting in which her imagination had
furnished me with endowments too
romantic. I have seen great moments,
as you know, hut this is ther one I
could least afford to give up. I had
long been wondering what I should do
when it came.*' Now it .\yas come and
there was no taking thought of what
we should do. That would seem to
have been settled out of court. I
kissed her lips and she kissed mine
and for a few moments 1 think we
could have stood’ip a half bushel
measure: Then the Doctor laughed'
:md gave her ladyship « smack on
the cheek.
“ ‘I don’t know about you-, my lady,
b’.* it tills me with the glow of youth
n> see such going jm.’ he remarked
Tm only twenty-one and nobody
knows, it—nobody suspects it even
These wrinkles and gray hair are only
a mask that covers the heart of a
boy.’
"T confess that such a scene does
push me back into my girlhood,’ said
Lady Hare.' ‘Alas! I feel the old
thrill.’
“Suddenly Solomon arrived. Of
course where Solomon is, one would
expect solecisms. .Tltey were not want
ing. „ I had not tried to prepare him
for the ordeal. Solomon Is bound to
be himself wherever he is, and why
not? There is no better man living.
“ ’You’re as purty as a golden robin,’
he said to Margaret, shaking her hand
in his big one.
“He was not so much put out as I
thought he would he. I never saw a
gentler man with women. As hard as
iron in a fight, there has always been
a curious vein of chivalry In the old
scout. He stood and joked with the
girl, In his odd fashion, and set us all
laughing. Margaret and her mother
enjoyed his talk and spoke of it, often,
after that.
“I dressed and went to dine with the
Hares that evening. They lived In a
large house on a fashionable ‘road’ as
certain or the streets were called. It
was a typical upper class, English
home. There were many fine old things
In It but no bright color^ nothing to
dazzle or astonish you like the wooden
Indian in war paint and feathers and
the stuffed bear and high colored rugs
in fhe parlor of Mr. Gosport In Phil
adelphia. Every piece of furniture was
like the quiet; still-footed servants who
ttune and went making the smallest
iwkible demand upon your attention.
"I was shown into the library where
Sir Benjamin sat alone reading a news
paper. Hejtreeted me ponteiy.
. “ ‘The news Is disquieting,’ he said
presently. ’What have you to tell us
of the situation in America?’
" Tt Is critical,’ I answered. Tt can
he mended, however, If the government
will act promptly.’
‘“What should It do?’
‘“Make concessions, sir, stop ship
ping tea for a time. Don’t try to force
an export with a duty on It. I think
the government should not shake the
mailed list at us.’
"‘But think of the violence and the
destruction «f property!’
“‘All that will abate and disappear
if the cause is removed. We, who
keep our affection for England, have
done our best to hold the passions of
the people in qjkpoHct but we get no help
from this side of tin* ocean.’
"Sir Benjamin sat thoughtfully feel
ing his silvered mustache. He had
grown stouter and fuller-faced since
we had parted in Albany when he had
%
" ‘May we not respect each other
and disagree In politics?*, I asked.
‘In politics, yes, but not in war. I
begin to see danger of war and that is
full of the bitterness of death. If Doc
tor Franklin will do what he can to
re-establish loyalty and order in the
colonies my fear will be removed ami
I shall welcome you to my family.’
“I began to show a glint of intelli
gence and said: ‘If the ministers will
co-opernte it will not be difficult.'
“ ‘The ministers will do anything It
is in their power to do.’
"Then the timely entrance of Mar
garet and her mother.
“T suppose that I shall shock my
father but I cannot help it,’ said the
girl as she kissed me.
"You may be sure that I had my part
In that game. She stood beside me,
her arm around my waist and mine
around her shoulders.
“ ‘Father, can you blame me for lov
ing this big, splendid hero who saved
us from the Indians and the bandits?
It Is unlike you to be such a hardened
wretch. But for him you would have
neither wife nor daughter."
"She put it on thick but I held my
peace as I have done many a time In
the presence of a woman’s cunning.
Anyhow, she Is apt to believe herself
and in a matter of the heart can find
her way through difficulties which
would appall a man.
" 'Keep yourself In bounds, my
daughter,’ her father’ answered. T
know hia merits and should like to
see you married and hope to, but I
must ask you to be patient until you
can go to a loyal colony with your
husband.’
"It was a pleasant dinner through
which they kept me telling of my ad
ventures In the bush. Save the Im
mediate family only Mrs. Biggars, a
sister of Lady Hare, and a young
nephew of Sir Benjamin were at the
table.”

■meiehant In military dress and had
been limbered and soiled by knocking
about in the bush. "Now he wore a
white wig and rutiles and. looked us
dignified ns a Tory magistrate.
—Yin the moment of silennf I mustered
up my courage and spoke out.
‘“Sir Benjamin,’ I said. T have
come to Haim your daughter under
the promise yod gave me at Fort Stan-
wix. I have not ceased to Jove her
and if ,she continues to,love me I am
sure^ that our wishes will have your
favor and blessing.' '
The Dawn.
Franklin, whom Jack saw the next
day, liked not the attitude of the bar
onet.
‘Tie is one of the king’s men on the
big chess board," said the old phil
osopher. "All that he said to you has
the sound-af strategy. have reason
to believe that they are trying to tow
us Into port and Margaret Is only one
of many ropes. Hare’s attitude Is not
that of an honest man."
Only three days before the philoso
pher had had a talk with North at the
urgent request of Howe, who, to bis
credit, was eager for reconciliation:
The king’s friend and minister was
contemptuous.
“I am quite indifferent to war," he
had cynically declared at last. “The
confiscations it would produce will pro
vide for mapy of our friends.”
It was an hstonishing bit of frank
ness.
“I take this opportunity of assuring
your lordship that for all the property
you seize or destroy In America, you
will pay to the lust farthing,” said
Franklin. '■
This treatment* was like that he had
received from other members of the
government since the unfortunate pub
lication of the Ilutchinsi-n, Rogers and
Oliver letters. They, seemed to enter
tain thr> notion that he had forfeited
the respect due a gentleman.
A lew days after Franklin had given
air to his suspicion that the govern
ment party would try to tow him into
port three stout British ships had brok«
en their cables on him. An invitation,
not likely to he received by one ’who
had really forfeited the respect of
gentlemen was In his hands. The
shrewd philosopher did not think twice
about it. He knew that here was the
first step in a change of tactics. He
could nof properly decline to accept it
and so he'went to dine and spend the
night with a” most distinguished com
pany at the country seat of Lord IbAve.
Some of the best people were there
—Lord and Lady Catheart, Lord and
Lady Hyde, Lord and Lady Dartmouth.
Sir William Kps kino. Sir Henry Clinton,
Sir James Baird, Sir Benjamin Hare
and their Indies were also present. Doc
tor Franklin said that the punch was
calculated to promote cheerfulness-and
high sentiment. As was the custom at
like functions, the Indies sat together
at one end of the table, Franklin being
seated at the right of Lady Howe, who
was most gracious and entertaining.
The first toast - was to the venerable
philosopher.
The dinner over. Lady H“"c “,p
