THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1895.
AFTER .NASEBY,

(For a moment my sudden and unex
pected advent threw the three men Into
mime confusion, but quickly recovering
from their surprise they rushed upon
me with drawn swords. Parrying a
tierce blow which the foremost trooper
dealt at me, I tot under his guard and
passed my blade through his right
lung.
"A brave thrust V
As the man tell, tils two comrades
dropped fcack and I had an instant to
look around. The ma kit n stood beside
me, watching the conflict with brightly
Hashing eyes; her bosam heaved, her
whole form was alive with the keenest
excitement. Truly. It was no peasant
iblood which ran in her. "A brave
thrust!" she cried again.
"The King!" I shouted, "the Kins,
and confusion to his enemies!"
Somewhat taken back by the death
Of their comrade, the two remnlnlng
tnen seemed in no great hurry to renew
the combat. iBut I placed my back to
the wall and stood on guard awaiting
the 'a onslaught, and when they held
back taunted them for cowards. I
looked again towards the maiden, and
he gave me a glani'e which set my
heart a throbbing faster than had the
flashing b words, 'Presently, recovering
something of their lost courage, the two
men again approached, but this lime
with less ifuiy and more method. The
trooper came first and engaged mie,
while the sergeant remained standing
behind, ready to spit 'me under his com
panion's arm. if opportunity should of
fer. For some moments there was the
ring of steel against steel as we struck
and parried, neither being able to ob
tain the mastery, while ever and anon,
at a fiercer blow, bright sparks shot
forth from themeeting blades. After the
first few thrusts. Indeed, I felt that I
had the measure of my adversary, but
1 dared not devote to him the whole of
my attention, requiring 40 be continual
ly on my guard against a subtle thrust
from the sword of the sergeant. At
length, with a swift and sudden upward
stroke, I deprived my opponent of his
weapon. It flew from his hand and fell
with a clink and a Jangle upon the stone
fl or.
It seemed, however, that the blow
was likely to cost me dear, for In strik
ing I stumlbled over the body of the
fallen trooper, and in a trice the ser
geant was upon .me with Hashing sword.
1 felt that my 'last moment had come
and made ready to die as became a ser
vant of the Kink. Instead of a death
thrust, however, a most astonishing
and somewhat ludicrous thing came to
pass; for I 'found a most useful ally In
the brave lady who bad displayed so
much Interest In the struggle. She
seized the pot that was seething on the
fire, ami 'with a quick movement poured
the whole of the scalding contents Into
the face of the sergeant.
iHe surang back with a cry of rage
and piln. and when he turned around
again I had much ado to restrain my
mirth, for his face at that moment re
sembled nothing so much as a boiled
lobster. It seemed to be his purpose
to wreak vengeance npon the lady who
had caused his discomfiture, but I had
had time to recover and when he turned
he found my sword point at his throat.
Inferring, maybe, from that circum
stance that nothing to his advantage
was likely to result from a continued
stay, he turned on his heel and, fol
lowed by his disarmed trooper, went
rapidly from the house, using as he did
o many ungodly words euch as I trow
he had never found In his prayer-book.
We waited In silence until the sound
of their horses' hoofs had died away In
the distance. For myself I could even
then do nougtfit but laugh at the
thought of the grotesque and most dis
figured figure which the burly ser
geant had cut. But the brave lady to
whom I owed so much was of a differ
ent humor. She plucked my sleeve and
looked into my face with such grave
and earnest appeal that at once I
checked my merriment.
"Sir. I pray you lose not a moment,
but depart forthwith, for I fear me you
sergeant will most surely return."
"Nay, fair lady," I answered. '1 de
part not alone; for, If I mistake not,
this same fellow went off In worse
humor at thy greeting than at mine."
"You spenk In riddles, sir; whither
would you have me go?'i
"To your home, sweet lady."
"And where may that be, most saga
cious sir?"
"Nay, I know not; yet I am sure 'tis
rot a cottage such as this."
The maiden stood pensive, while a
man might have slowly counted ten.
and when she looked up, there was a
change come over her, for she had laid
nrlde her bantering manner, and spoke
In a voice of such exceeding softness
that It was like the music of some
sweet Instrument most skillfully tuned.
'IMost valiant gentleman," she said,
"I will tell you who I am, and whence
I come, and why you find me here; for
you have borne a brave part tonight,
and It would III become me to deceive
one who has wielded for my pake so
t rutty a sword. I am the daughter of
the Karl of Morvale, whose purpose It
was to i.tlve me In marriage to a certain
courtier of the King, a man I had never
seen and who I did not doubt was de
voted solely to puffs and frills, and such
things as are becoming only to women
that kind of man. Indeed, which In my
Injustice I did at first conceive you
yourself to be. But since I had no great
desire to be passed from hand to hand
whether I would or no, like a piece of
merchandise and my father not ceasing
o press me, I left his roof to seek that
of my mother's sister, who lives on the

til such time as bis humor should have
changed. Hut. being unused to travel
ing unaccompanied, I mistook the path
and went grevlously astray, so that
when night fell I had wandered far
from my direction, and this good dame,
seeing my dilemma, took me In and
gave me shelter. Then the troubles
broke out In this quarter and 1 could
not with safety resume my Journey.
So my good mother lent me this peas
ant's dre?s, that I might be the less
easily recognised, and here for six
days I have abided."
A most astonishing but. very pleasing
possibility had born Itself upon me
while she spoke. Yet I could not be
wholly certain, and so I said.
"You have told me much, madam,
and yet not that which most I desire to
learn. Your father being the Burl of
Morvale, have I the privilege of ad
dressing the Lady Constance Temple?"
She Inclined her head to signify as
sent. "Is It then possible that the courtier
of whom you speak Is Sir Lionel Mor
daunt?" "You have again guessed rightly."

know so much that concerns me I as
sure you, sir, I am at a loss to under

will presently perceive, for the mo

chief concern. The Castle of Morvale
lies from here not tslx leagues distant.
The night is tine, and by pressing for
ward without delay we should reach It
before the dawn. Once there you will
be safe, for the Earl of iMorvale has
taken no active part In the troubles.
Shall we go thither?"
"But the courtier. Blrrah? exclaimed
the lady. "Yon forget the courtier. My
father will surely still seek to force
this marriage upon me."
"As to that." I replied, "you need ap
prehend no further embarrassment;
and for this very reason, that the un
witting cause of all your troubles stands
before you." I made her a low bow.
"I. madam, am Sir Lionel iMordaunt."
I feared then that I had made my
announcement somewhat too suddenly,
for the lady was covered with confu
sion. A crimson flush suffused her
cheek and neck, and she drooped her
head. When at last she looked up, she
wns smiling through her blushes.
"Yet I fear, sir." Bhe said, with a
comical look, "that the Earl will still
refuse to reliqulsh his desire."
"And you, madam," I answered; "you
can refuse."
"But sirrah" she looked at me with
a merry twinkle in her eyes, and yet
with a passing sweetness "I am a
dutiful daughter."
I took her tiny hand In mine, and
bending low before her, kissed It.
The old woman had listened while
we talked, sitting on a low stool before
the lire, her withered Hps evr and
again emitting a muttered exclamn
tlon. I laid a purse of money on the
table, that Bhe might not regret the
kindness she had shown to us both,
and taking my lady's hand again In
mine, led her gently forth Into the open.
There I placed her upon my own horse,
and mounting myself the one which
had belonged to the dead trooper, we
rode out Into the night.

Philadelphia Stockholder; Shipments
of anthracite coal for the first six

pared with the average-percentages of

very Interesting showing, as follows;

The Susquehanna and Western's sharp
Increase was due to the completion of
its terminals and the Wllkes-Barre and
Kastern line, which took a large busi
ness away from the Lackawanna. This,
in a measure, accounts for the Lacka
wanna's decrease of 3 per cent. Other
changes were small, being fractional In
each Instance; the Pennsylvania Coal
lost .57; the Erie. .51; Coxe Bros., .33;
the Ontario and Western, .18; the Jer
sey Central, .30. The Delaware and
Hudson more than held its own by a
gain of .07. The Reading's gain was
1.07, and the Lehigh Valley's. .16. In
considering these figures It should be
borne In mind that the half year of
1895 Is compared with the entire year
of 1894.
