Sir," site said stiffly, Harry Ormerod, long proscribed to King Uorge as a Stuart partisan, returning from France to London, rescues Alderman Robert Juggins from a band of assassins. Juggins proves to be the grandson of a former steward of Oimerods father, to whom Juggins feels himFelf Indebted. Ormerod tells Juggins he has abandoned the Stuart cause. Juggins informs Ormerod of a Jacobite plot in tbe American colonies to weaken England by forwarding French interests. At its head Is Andrew Murray, a Scotsman, and a Frenchman, De Yeulle, deadly enemy of Ormerod. Tho two are inLondon furthering their schemes. Anticipating the plotters early return to America, Juggins arranges for Ormerod to go there with letters to Governor Burnet, friend of Juggins, and woi k to foil Murray. Disguised as Juggins strv-an- t, Ormerod arranges to take passage to America. On the ship he meets a girl, Murrays daughter, ardent Jacobite, who believes him to be loyal to the Stuarts. De Veulle recognizes Ormerod, and exposes him. Yes. That is enough for me. You are a traitor, a deserter, proven out of your own mouth. I.ut No, sir; there Is naught you cun say would Interest me. I should despise you none the less had you deserted in the same circumstances to nty own side. It makes it no less culpable that you deserted from my side because our fortunes were nt low ebb.

With that she was gone, and I was left cursing De Veulle, whose treacherous tongue had planted the distorted shreds of truth In her mind; cursing Murray, who must have stood by and listened to It all, smugly amused ; cursing my cousin who had put me in such a plight, after winning my inheritance; cursing the men and women at St. Germain who repaid years of sacrifice and ungrudging loyalty with such canards; cursing Juggins for having embarked me upon the ship with the gir. ; cursing myself for getting Into such a false position ; cursing the girl Hut no. Common sense came to my. rescue then. There was something unaccountably fine about her attitude, something I should never have thought to uncover in Murray's daughter, however beautiful and attractive she might he. There was devotion for you, faithfulness to a lost cause, the single-minde- d truthfulness which only a good woman can possess.

This person, who was In' the Immediate entourage of the Pretender, abandoned his leader not long ago and fled to England to seek a pardon, re- pudiated and detested by all honorable men in Paris. Pnt In England his protestations of loyalty were refused, for they naturally doubted the sincerity of one who wearied so soon of an unfortunate Vause. Is this trup? Murray asked me. I said.
