UT one thing strikes me as worthy to be chronicled before we embarked. When all was ready and everything aboard, 1 went back to Master Ficklin's in Tanstock, which was an easy day's journey from Plymouth sound. Where the Rose of Devon lay. to fetch my lady and her maid. Master Ficklin’s house was a somewhat large one and was surrounded by a walled garden, perhaps two acres in extent. which ran back from the house to a little brook which bounded the village. Master Ficklin was at his otfice, al- though It was yet early in the morn- ing when I called. intending to fetch my lady to Plymouth by coach. a spe- cial coach which i had engaged. by the way. His sister said that Mis- tress Wilberforce wasln the garden and that she had company. She of- fered to show me to her presence, but I said I knew the way and could go there myself. I did not like the word company overmuch since her fine friends had more or less forgotten her. I broke into a run and in a few moments came upon my lady strug- gling in the arms of a man. What man, you ask? The Duke of Arcester! He had his arms around her, and al- thought he was nogreat shakes of a man, he was much stronger than the slight glrl he was grappling with. He held her tightly by the waist with one hand and with the other was trying to turn her head so that he Could kiss her. ' I passed through the ball. out of the back door and into the garden. I stood a moment, hesitating. wondering whether after all 1 had the right or the privilege to break in upon such company as she might be entertaining, when a scream which came faintly from the end of the garden decided me. I was upon them before they realized my arrival. I grasped the duke by the collar of his coat with my left hand and with my right 1 fairly tore him away from my lady. “Thank God. you have come!" she cried. reeling and staggering. her face flushed. her hair disheveled, her dress in disarray. I heard that much and then the duke was upon me. Gritting his teeth and swearing frightful oaths he got to his feetâ€"l had thrown him proneâ€"-dragâ€" ged out his swurd and rushed at me. “You dog!" he cried. “You pave balked me before and you interfere now. I have had enough of you and the world has”. Now, i am a good fighter and no mean fencer. 1 can cross blades with any one on earth.
