OHAPTHlt 1.
mN the year of grace 1774 n climb
ing BOO glowed nbovc his maj
esty's colony of Virginia. It
drank the opal mists of tbo
marshes, flecked the Heids into shadow
haunted cloth of gold and so unrolled
over the old ''middle plantation," where
a round century before Bacon and his
men had token the oath against Eng
land, a drowsing, yellow mid-May nft
ternoon.
Two quickened rivers, like silver gir
dles unclasped, wound through tho
lowland, from whero phantom-fur lay
the shadows of pines against the color
Washed line of sky, sharp edged and
biaVk, ln gTgantlo pobited froiuis. The
rivers rolled broadly to tho sea, hold
ing between them a green valley sweet
with the warm perfumes of leaf and
flower, and this valley folded to Us
heart Wllllntnsburg, the gay little cap
ital.
The teaL end mallard that winged
over from York to James looked down
thereon and saw a single broad thor
oughfare, shaded by poplars and mul
berries, with William and Mary col
lege at one end and the new capltol
at the other. Straggling streets of
wide porched houses bordered with gar
dens debouched upon this, and spread*
,lng away in all directions, like gathered
ribbons, by league long plantation and
through broken forest, went tawny,
twisting roads.
Along one of these roads, by clumps
of rustling laurel, came a great coach
with green body and brown cloth, bear
ing the arms of the TlllotSOUS of Glad*
den Hall. A black body servant rode
behind it n-horscback.
Tl?e couch, which rolled thumping
Ojml swinging ponderously where the
way was rugged, pleasantly and light
ly where the road was smooth, held "
matron nnd a slender girl. The latter
was of that age when nature paints
with her richest brush. Her hair was
a wave of russet lights, with shadows
of warmer brown. Her face, rose
stained, was the texture of a rose. Her
mouth, below serious eyes of blended
blue, gave a touch of willfulness. If
there was lntontness on the brow, so
was there languor in the lips, red, half
ripe, the upper short and curved to
smile. She was all raptures?all sap
phire nnd rose gold tigalnst the dark
cushion.
Both :is they rode were silent, look
ing out through either wide window
upon the warm, scent steeped glimpses
of the way. All along were waving
reaches of wheat, where the poppy
flung Its wrinkled splash of red, or
acres of young growing tobacco where
in sweating slaves toiled listlessly, their
songs woven with the undertone of the
sluggish sin am, slashed by reviling
oaths und whip crackings of a bearish
overseer. At the dusty edges of the
rond Ihlstlu and wild honeysuckle
Bern tabled for I heir breath, and cow
slips went spinning yellow ribbons. It
was n slumberous land swathed In a
tremulous haze of heat and n wash of
sun.
"Anne," Raid tho matron at length,
withdrawing her gaze from the win
dow.
"Yes, Aunt Mildred."
"Do you Intend to treat that boy bad
ly V
The girl was silent, gazing across tho
fields, watching tho birds' slender flash
ings l.n the olive hollows.
"You haven't answered my ques
tion."
"What question?"
"Do yon Intend to treat that boy bad
ly?"
"What hoy?" Inquired Anne, with a
sweetness that boded other things.
"Francis Byrd."
"I intend to treat him as I always
have no better, nor worse."
"The world has changed since my
time," reflected Mrs. Tillotson. "Maids
.'denied themselves lucky to have one
Mlant and wasted small time in wed
ding. Last winter 1 thought It had
been Captain Jarrat. Now he Is left
for Molly Byrd to make eyes at. Tho
way that woman acts! So I suppose
l\ will be with Francis."
"Ix?t them cease arranging thlnge for
mo, then!" cried Anne. "1 will not bo
put up and bargained for. I will bo
the subject of no family councils. I
will wed when and whom I please."
Her aunt looked a bit startled at the
outburst.
"Of course, of course," she assented
mildly. "But you don't please. You'ro
eighteen" two years older than I was
when I married your uncle. Francis
Byrd of Westover Is the pick of them
Oil."
"ne is a mere boy." Anne's tone held
n growing impatience.
"Ho is not too young," went on Mrs.
Tillotson, "to lake stock of all you say.
But remember, dear, that he is to wear
the royal colors now. 'Tis all well
enough for you and mo to bo open
Whigs. Wo don'I have to do any outh
taking, and thoy don't hang us. But
king's men cannot be so free of tongue."
A lino turned upon her.
"I I;now the rest of It!" she cried.
"Francis in spending time at Albertl's
rooms my fault. Krauels Is making a
friend of Patrick Honry?my fault!
Fruficlfl has a mind of his own, hasn't
he? If he Chooses so, well and good.
Aonl Mildred, there will be u day
when any Virginian will be proud to be
a friend of I'at rid. Henry I"
The lady Shook her head not unkind
ly. "Your mother over again, Anne,"
she said. "Loyal and true. Ah, wo!"
She was silent, but Anne knew of
what site was thinking. Alter a time
she put her hand over and touched the
girl's. "Keep your friendships, child, if
you like" tin in." she said. "I have
naught again-i Mr. Henry. I like him,
and the colonel values him most high
ly. Only llyrd is a good hid; too good
to he hurt."
"Here Is the shop," Anne said pros
Ontly as (lie coach Stopped before tho
sign of .1 mercer. "I shall drive awhile
and return for yon in an hour. Won't
you take JolUl U.lO Daptlsl with yon
and buy thai (urban for Mammy F.va
line? What color did she want, John
the Baptist?" she called to her body
servant.
Tho lank, loosu Jointed, strapping lig
uro of solemn countenance who sat a
sorrel behind (ho coach, spurring along
side tho window, broke out In Wide
itttijet.
"Mammy \s;..|t toV maz'reen blue, Mis'
Anne. Dal wbut I hen Mi her sijy."
".Now, don'l no over the hour," Mrs.
Tillotson reminded as her niece bowled
away, and she sighed as she looked
after her.
The Coach had entered WilllnniKhurg
from the n<prth and now turned Into
Duke of Gloucester street, where stood
An embowered mansion, the town bouM
I of'the Byrds of Westover, iure at tin?
gate Hut tor oil two girls, wi?o waved
hands .nut culled eagerly to the solitary
occupant.
"Anno, A?no!" they cried as the
coachman drew u;> at the horse block.
"Conio nnd t?*I 1 iiwhat you uro to
' wear to the ball tomorrow."
"I don't know, Betsy." replied Anne,
Jumping down.
"l'Himw!" rn tiled Mistress By rd. "Just
as If wo believed that, when you know
you will be looked ?t uioro than the
now arrived Lady Dunmorel"
Ann:> kissed Hie youtiger one? Paulina
Cabcll, slight, oHvo eyed, a pretty, pout
ing slip of ii girl, wriggling to bo grown
up. "Your eyoH nrb red, sweetheart,"
said she.
"I buvo Uoeu reading 'Lady Julia
Mandovlllo,'" Pattllua complained. "I
never cried so In my life reading u nov
el. The tale Is beautiful, but tho end
ing Is horrid!*'
"You'll stay to supper, of course?"
asked Betsy, linking an ana In Anno'ti.
"Brother Frank will fetch you home."
"Not today."
"Mother will want to tell you about
Prank's royal commission," pursued
Betsy.1 "Come In for n moment. Do."
But the mistress of Westover was
otherwise occupied. In fact, tho girls
entered the wide, cool hall to Und a
storm lowering.
Mrs. Byrd was not only young, pret
ty, a second wife and the possessor of
a husband who was one of the govern
or's council, but she wuh conscious of
nil these things.
Her husband did not remember ns of
ten as did she that the gay colonel, his
father, bad been bosom friend of the
learned Charles Boyle In England and
a fellow of tho Boyal society. She re
mlndcd him frequently of tho fact that
the old wit had been n scholar and had
left to Westover, whore he lay under a
monument In the garden, the best pri
vate library in the colonies, not even
excepting that of Mr. John Bordley of
Maryland, r.nd n garret full of writings.
Hh portrait hung there, a face as clear
and as beautiful an a woman's, framed
in a curling peruke vi the time of
Queen Ann.-.
As for the present master of West
over, much to her Irritation, he eared
little more for sieht of Si. James than
for the heaped up manuscripts In the
garret. P.P contented himself with sit
Hug in tl'.c .?? mull chamber nt \Vil?
ll;iir.s?mrg and riding ?fter foxes at
Wos'.ovor, when his low?. !-ft him.
Now Mis. Byrd, consciously impres
sive. leaii"d ucninsl the white paneling
in a posture which showed her plump
figure to advantage.
" "; Is high 11 sue," she was paying,
*ottilsi? the yellow point do venlse nt
Ijer throat, "that Francis be spoken to
about it. (Come In, Aune.)"
The colonel, bowing as gnllantly to
Anne as ids gouty leg propped on a
phnlr would permit, shifted his pow
?Jerod wig in so mo discomfort.
'frank will get no harm from Pat
vU*i Henry," be said. Be Is too sen
sible."
"Mayhap you call It no hann, sir,"
persisted Mrs. Byrd, "to set your son?
you, ii member of the council?bobbing
with that shiftless wag. Sooth, then,
1 il"! The malt bugs of the tnvern nro
Iii; betters, (No, don't go, Anne.) Fran
cis is dilft about him, sir. And tho
boy's royal commission Just come. Oh,
'tis loo badt"
Colonel Byrd straightened his rutllos
carefully.
"You ^'o to the ball, of course, Anne?"
lie aski d.
But his wife was not to be shut off.
"Small preferment," tho huly went
on, "will Francis get from Lord Dun
more !f he continues. The governor
keeps himself Informed. Every one
knows that Patrick Henry Is the very
front of all these rebel doings. (Yes,
you need give mo no look, Anno. "ITs
tho word I meant to use. Rebel doings!
ncoei doings:) Ann tor my son ?a
Willing to"?
"Zo'Mds! Your son is n Byrd,
ma'am!" This from tho colonel.
"For my son lo assoelato with a low
country demagogue, half the time
dressed In bucks!;.as like that shabby
burgess from Louisa county you
brought to dinner last week, and to go
to his crnzy meetings nt the Halelgh.
1 thought his stay abroad would have
wetmcd Frank of that. That and the
commission. Tut, no I Ho comes home
talking tho gibberish of thnf' mealy
mouthed C harles Fox that he learned
In his dreadful London club. I look
yet to see bim put off his king's uni
form and disgrace us all."
"PshawI" said Colonel Byrd, never
theless uneasily. "Frank's all right.
The young blade will take to the army
like a duck to water. Zooksl There Is
no harm In the Apollo room. Jefferson
is steady enough, nnd he is ever there."
"Tom Jefferson 1" ejaculated tho lady.
"Think yon be is much better? A free
thinker! He and Henry are pitch and
toss. La! A squeak of a fiddle, nnd
both of them will dance. Jefferson
used to be gay enough with It nt Cov
ernor Fnuqulcr's musicklngs. Every
body knows he spends hnlf his tlmo
when ho Is In WllJIainshurg at the
rooms of that papist actor Albertt, nnd
so does Henry. I marvel If Francis
does not know him too."
The colonel sighed. If the truth must
be told, the same uneasiness was In
his soul. But, being masculine, he did
not udmit it to his wife.
"I'll lay n crown you'll dance with
Mnster Henry tomorrow night, Anne,"
volunteered Betsy wickedly.
Anne was looking through the largo
window, sashed with crystal glass,
nnd there were little blue sparks snap
ping In her eyes. She made no reply,
but under her skirt edge her red slip
per, like a burnished tongue, went tap
ping tho polished door.
"I should think, Anne," remarked
Mrs. Byrd, with acidity, toying with a
rose Jar from which the Duke of Cum
berland had once plucked a bud, "that
you would have more regard for your
bringlog Up. I never hnd to be re
minded of mine."
Mrs. Byrd never looked younger or
mpre handsome than when remember
ing this. In her soul the soothing and
OVOr present COIlSClOUSncSS of being
born a Willing of Philadelphia was em
balmed like u fly In amber. It' she
could have bad her way she would
have had tljO inasler of Westover din
lug at 4, llko the CadwaInders nnd
Bhlppens and tho rest of the Church of
England set there.
"A TlllotSOll," she continued rnplly,
"dancing tit the burgesses' ball with
the husband of a tavern girl!"
Anno turned, her eyes glowing tho
COlor of burning brandv.
"And why no! V" she cried. "Why
not? Mr. Henry Is a burgess of Vir
ginia!"
"Aye, a burgess - from the woods!
A lick dish for the country votes!"
"Molly!" Her husband's tone was
gathering remonstrance.
"He Is a gentleman I" Anno dared,
With wralh dark eyes. "A courteous,
honorable gentleman! A'td he hns
more In Jils head than any four of them
together."
"Highly tlghtyl" exclaimed Mrs.
Byrd. "More rebellion, you mean! I

"H'Astc!" she called under her breath.
"Here comes Mr. Jefferson."
"Lack!" said Betsy, "t'peak of the

"I marvel Mr. Jefferson likes him!"
quoth Anne, a gentle sarcasm rufiling
her nngcr.
Mistress By I'd did not note the tone.
"Aye," she responded, "so do I. lie Una

made more trouble for the colony than
all the exclusion acts put together. He
looks a very uncouth creature," she
added. "See that moth eaten hunting
cap and those horrid leather clothes!"
This was In a low tone, for the ap
proaching men were come within ear
Shot and were even then dolling head
gear to them.
The two were vastly dissimilar. One,
the younger, was clad In dark velvet.
Wore loco and a sword. His line face
was pale with the look of the scholar.
Tho other, walking by bis side, with
saddlebags over bis arm thrust through
the bridle of a lean roan nag, wore
hunting dress, with a small cap. He
looked to be turned thirty-live. Ills
face was keen and sallow, with Kornau
profile, and his eyes were deep set under
overhanging brows. For tho rest ho
moved his spare body awkwardly,
SlQUClltly, with a rawiKined stoop of
shoulders, as one at happier ease In the
Woods than the street. Both bowed
gravely as they came up, the faco of
the horseman searching the group ami
brightening suddenly with a Hash of
smile at sight of Anne.
Ho passed on, but the younger turn
ed back, nothing loath for a moment of
chat.
"Gossiping of the ball tomorrow, I'll
swear!" be laughed. "Are the furbe
lows all chose?"
"Tell us, Mr. Jefferson," cried Belay
"vrd. "Have you seen the new come
beauties? They say Lady DlUimore is
lovelier than her daughters."
"I have boon away for a fortnight,"
he answered, "and cannot say. 1 would
I could say 'Aye,' " ho added humor
ously; "'twould relievo much anxiety."
" 'Tis the dreadful llllCCrtnlllllCSS of
you masculine lovers," Anne countered
archly, "that keeps us poor maids in
terror."
*''Tis said," put in Paulina, ' that his
excellency will publish n new codo for
tho palace etiquette. Think of It! Just
like a real court! There Is to be a Cham*
borlnin, and all gentlemen uro to un
bonuet beforo tho portraits of the king
and quoen!"
The young man looked dark. "Would
he kept to his court otlquottol" ho ex
claimed. "See you tho green yonder?"
All turned their gaze toward tho low

group to group. One could almost Im*

sound of a distant bee swarm. As they
gazed the knots separated and moved
slowly toward one of the side doors.
"They enter the left," said Anne.
'"Tis not the usual sitting of tho house,
then. Has the governor summoned

"For what?" repeated Jefferson
wratbfully. "For the resolves, printed
