"Stuff hi* lying mouth with hi* orders!" shouted the duke.
But Molyneux still held the gentlemen beck. "One moment," he
cried.
"M. da W internet," said Besuctire, "of what are you afraid? You
oaleulate well. Beaucaire might hare been belief?an impostor that

You have not absolve' me of my promise."
"Tell what you like," answered the duke. "Tell all the wild lies
you have time for. You have five minutes to make up your mind to
go quietly."
"Now you absolve me, then? Ha, hat Oh, yes! Mademoiselle,"
he bowed to Lady Mary, "I have the honor to reques' you leave the
room. You shall miss no details if these frien's of your*\fil me, on
the honor of s French gentleman."

to M. Beaucaire.
The young man laughed and said, "Tell him eome here at onop."
"Impudent to the last!" cried Bantison aa Molyneux hurried from
the room.
"Now you goin' to see M. Beaucaire's master/' said Beaucaire to
Lady Mary. " 'Tis true what I say, the other night I cross from
France in his suit; my passport say as his barber. Then to pass the
?nnui of exile I come to Bath and play for what one will. It kill the
time. But when the people hear I have been a servant they oome only
secretly, and }here is one of them?he has absolve' me of a promise
not to speak?of him I learn something he cannot wish to be tol\ I
make some trouble to learn this thing. Why I should do this? Well
?that is my own rizzon. So I make this man help me in a masque,
the unmasking it was, for, as there is no one to know me, I throw off
my black wig and become myself?and so I am 'Chateaurien,' Castle
Nowhere. Then this man I use', this Winterset, he"?
"I have great need to deny these accusations ?" said the duke.
"Nay," said Lady Mary wearily.
"Shall I tell you why I mus' be 'Victor' and 'Beaucaire' and 'Chateaurien'
and not myself?"

Xord Townbrake.

He was interrupted by a loud commotion from without. The
door was flung open, and the young Count of Beaujolais bounded in
and threw his arms about the neck of M. Beaucaire.
"Philippe!" he cried. "My brother, I have come to take you back
with me."
M. de Mirepoix followed him, bowing as a courtier in deference,
i>ut M. Beaucaire took both his hands heartily. Molyneux came after,
vrith Mr. Nash, and closed the door.
"My warmest felicitations," said the marquis. "There is no
longer ifeed for your incognito."
"Thou best of masters 1" said Beaucaire, touching him fondly on
the shoulder. "I know. Your courier came safely. And so I am
forgiven I But I forget." He turned to the lady. She had begun to
tremble exceedingly. "Faires* of all the English fair," he said, as the
gentlemen bowed low to her deep courtesy, "I beg the_ honor to
