THE ALAMANCE GLEANER.
THE THREE GUARDSMEN
laughter mounded through the corrl
lor The boron, attracted by the Dolae,
In his robe da chambre, hi* sword un
der his arm, stood In the doorway.
"Ah, ha!" said he. "Here we are,
arrived at the last act of the tragedy.
Ton see, Felton, the drama has gone
through all the phases I named, but be
at ease, no blood will flow."
"Yon are mistaken, my lord; blood
will flow; and may that blood fall back
on those *ho cause It to flow!" said
milady.
Felton uttered a cry aad rushed to
ward her. . He was too late; she bad
stabbed herself. But the knife had
fortunately—we ought to say skillfully
—come In contact with the steel busk,
which at that period, Uke a cuirass,
defended the chests of the women. It
had glided down It, tearing the robe,
and had slantingly between
the flesh and the ribs.
Milady's robe was not the leea 'stain
ed with blood In a second.
Felton snatched away the knife.
"Bee, tn'j lord." said be In a deep,
gloomy tone, "here la a woman who
was under my guard and who has kill
ed herself!"
"Be at ease, Felton," said Lord de
Winter; "she Is not dead. Demons do
not die so easily. Be at ease and go
and wait for me In my chamber."
At this Injunction from his superior
Felton obeyed, but in going oat he pat
the knife into his bosom.
As to Lord de Winter, he contented
himself with calling the woman who
waited on milady, and when she was
come he recommended the prisoner,
who was still fainting, to her care, and
left her alone with her.
But as, all things considered, not
withstanding his suspicions, the wound
might be serious, he Immediately sent
off a man and horse to fetch a doctor.
' CHAPTER XL!.
Eeeape.
AS Lord de Winter had thought,
milady's woand wis not dan-
gerous. It was, however, nec
essary to affect weakness and
pain, not a very difficult task for ao
finished an actress as milady.
The presence of her attendant did
not prevent milady from thinking.
There was no longer a doubt that Fel
ton was waa hers.
But Lord de Winter might have sus
pected him. Felton himself might now
be watched.
Toward 4 o'clock In the morning the
doctor arrived. He satisfied himself
that the case was not serious. In the
morning milady, nnder the pretense of J
not having slept well In tjpt night and
wanting rest, sent away the woman.
She had only one day left. . Lord de
Winter had announced her embarka
tion for the 23d, and it was now the
morning of the 22d.
Although she had eaten nothing in
the morning, the dinner waa broagbt in
at Its usual time. Milady then per
, celved with terror that the uniform of
the soldier that guarded her was
changed. Then ahe ventured to ask
what bad become of Felton. She was
told that he had left the castle an hour
before oh horseback. She Inquired If
the baron was still at the castle. The
soldier replied that be was knd that be
had given orders to be Informed if the
prisoner wished to speak to him.
At 0 o'clock Lord de Winter in.
He was armed at all points.
"You began to pervert my poor Fel
ton. He was yielding to yoar Infernal
Influence, bat 1 will save him. He will
never see you again. All la over," said
he. "Get your clothe* together. To
morrow you shall go. I had fixed the
embarkation for the 24th, bat I have
reflected that the more promptly the af
fair take* place the more certain it will
be. Tomorrow by 13 o'clock I shall
have the order for yoar exile signed—
Buckingham." And at these, words the
baron went out
A storm camj on about 10 o'clock.
The thunder growled In the air like the
passion and anger In her thoughts. All
at once milady heard a tap at her win
dow, and by the help of s flash of
lightning she saw the face of a man
appear behind the bars.
She ran to the window and opened It
"Felton!" cried she. "I am saved!"
"Yes," said Felton, "but be allent, be.
silent! I must have time to file through
these ban. Only take care that 1 am
not seen through the grating of the
door."
"Oh, It la a proof that the Lord Is on
oar aide, Felton," replied milady. "They
have closed up the grating with a
board."
"That Is well. Ood has made them
senseless," said Felton. "Be ready at
the first signal."
Milady shot the window and extin
guished the lamp. At the expiration
of an hoar Felton tapped again.
Milady opened the window. Two
bars removed formed an opening large
enough for a man to paas throagh.
"Are you r#dy?" aaksd Felton.
"Yes. Must I Uke anything with
-me?"
"Money, if you have any."
"Here," said milady, placing a bag
(811 of lonia In Felton'a bands.
Felton took the bag and threw It to
the foot of the waa
"Now." Mid b* "come!"
Milady mounted upon a chair and
passsd the upper part of bar person
throagh the window. She saw the
yoang officer suspended over the abyss
bp a ladder of ropes.
"Have you confidence in me?" aaid
Felton.
"Hew caa you ask me such a quss
tioor
"Pase yoar arma around my neck aad
fear nothing."
"Bat I shall make yoa leas yoar
balance, aad we shall both be dashed
to pieces."
"Don't be afraid. I am a sailor."
Hot a second was to be tat Milady
teased her arms round Feltoa's neck
aad let bersstf styp oat ef the srtndear.
Felton begs* to tsecsad the ladder
slowly step by step. Notwithstanding
the weight of their bodies the blast of
the hurricane made then wave la ths
air.
AH at eaee Felton stopped.
"Silence," aaid ha. "I hear footsteps
of tbe petrol*** their (seat- _
BY ALEXANDRE DUMAS
•They will ui&cover us!" |
"No; if it does not lighten they will
not" j.
"But they will run against the lad
der." •
"Fortunately it is too short by six
feet"
Both remained suspended, motionless
and breathless within twenty pace* ot
the ground, while the patrol passed be
neath them laughing and talking.
"Now," said Felton, "we are safe."
Milady breathed a deep sigh and
fainted.
Felton continued to descend. When
arrived at the bottom of the ladder
and he found no more support for bis
feet he clung with his hands. At
length,, arrived at the last Btep, he
hung by his hands and touched the
ground! He stooped'down, picked up
the bag of money and carried It in hi*
teeth. Then he took ml|#dy lu hi*
arma and set off briskly in the direc
tion opposite to that which the patrol
had taken. He sooa left the path of
the rounds, descended across the rock*
and, when arrived on the edge of the
sea, whistled.
A similar signal replied to him, and
Ave minutes after a boat appeared,
rowed by four men.
The boat approached as near as It
could to the shore, but there was not
depth of water enough for It to touch,
and Felton walked into the sen up to
his middle, being unwilling to trust his
precious burden to anybody.
"To the sloop," said Felton, "and
row quickly."
While the boat was advancing with
all the speed Its four rower* could give
it Felton took some sea water and
sprinkled it over milady's face.
She breathed a sigh and opened her
•yes.
"Oh, saved, saved!" cried she. "Ah,
thanks, Felton, thanks 1"
The young man pressed her to his
heart
Milady looked around her as if in
search of something.
"It is there," said Felton, touching
the bag of money with his foot
They drew near to the sloop.
"Where Is It to take me to?*'
"Where you please after you havs
put me on shore at Portsmouth."
"What are you going to do at Ports
mouth?" asked milady.
"To accomplish the orders of Lord
de Winter," said Felton, with a gloomy
amlle. "As he mistrusted me, he de
termined to guard you himself and
sent me in his place to get Bucking
ham to sign the order for your trans
portation. I have no time to lose. To
morrow Is the 23d, and Buckingham
sets sail tomorrow with his fleet for
La Rochelle. But he will not sail."
Milady started with joy. She could
read to the depths of the heart of this
young man. The death of Bucklng
' ham waa there written at full length.
"Felton," cried ahe, "you are a* great
as Judas Maccabeual If you die I will
die with you."
"Silence!" cried Felton. "We are ar
rived."
An instant after they w«re on the
deck of the sloop.
"Captain," said Felton, "this is the
person of whom I spoke to you and
whom you must convey safe and sound
to France."
"For 1,000 pistoles," said the cap
tain.
"I have paid you 600 of them."
"That's correct" said the captain.
"And here are ths other 000," re
plied milady. "If yod keep your word.

Instead of 800 I will give yea 1,000

"In the meanwhile," said Fsltea.

streaming with perspiration. Ills
countenance, usually so pale, was pur
ple with hnat and passion.
"A pressing message from the Lord
do Winter," said be. ~
At the name of Lord de Winter, who
was khown to be one of bis grace'*
moht Intimate friendb, the officer j>f the
post gave orders for Felton'to be al
lowed to pass. Besides, he wore the
uniform of a naval officer.
Felton darted into the palace.
At the moment he entered the vesti
bule another man was 'entering like
wise. covered with dust and out of
breath, leaving at the gate a post
horse, which as soon as he had alight
ed from It sank down exhausted.
Felton and he addressed Patrick, the
duke'* confidential valet de chambre
at the tame moment.
Patrick, who knew Lord do Winter,
gpve the preference to him who came
In bis name.
The vulet de chambre Introduced
Felton Into a closet, where Bucking
ham was finishing hi* toilet.
"Why did not the baron come him
self?" asked the duke.
"He desired me to tell your grace,"
replied Felton, "that he was prevented
by the guard he Is obliged to keep at
the castle."
"Ye*,' I know," said Buckingham.
"He has a prisoner."
"It Is of that prisoner I wish to
speak to your grace alone," replied
Felton.
"Leave us, Patrick," said Bucking
ham.
"My lord," said Felton, "the Baron
de Winter wrote to you the other day
to request you to sign an order of
embarkation relative to a young woln
an named Charlotte Backson."
"Yes, sir, and I answered him that
if he would bring or send me that or
der I would sign It"
"Here It Is, my lord."
"Give it to me," said the duke. He
took it from Felton.
"I ask your pardon, my lord, but
floes your grace know that the name
of Charlotte Backson Is not the true
name of this young woman?"
"Yes, sir, I do know It," replied the
duke.
"I cannot believe," continued Felton
In a'voice that became more sharp
and rough, "that your grace knows
that it Is to Ltyly de Winter this re
lates?"
"I do know It perfectly well."
"And will your grace sign that or
der without remorse?"
Buckingham looked at the young
man with much hauteur.
"Do you know, sir, that you are ask
ing me very strange question*?"
"Reply to them, my lord," said Fel
ton. "The circumstance* are more se
rious than perhaps you Imagine."
Buckingham reflected that the
yonng man, coming from Lord de
Winter, perhaps spoke In his name."
"Doubtless," said he, "the baron
knows as well as myself that Lady de
Winter Is a very guilty woman, and It
is treating her very favorably to remit
her punishment to transportation. I
should do Justice to my lady by send
ing her to Tyburn. She Is an infamous
woman."
"My lord, Lady de Winter is an
angel. You know that she Is,, and 1
demand her liberty of you."
"Why. the man must be mad to talk
to me In this manner!" said Bucking
ham. "Master Felton, you will please
to withdraw and place yourself under
arrest Immediately."
"You shall bear me to the end, my
lord. You have seduced this young
girl. Repair your crimes toward- her,
let her go free, and I will require noth
ing else of you."
"You will require!"' said Bucking
ham, looking at Felton with astonish
ment.
"My lord," continued Felton, becom
ing more excited as be spoke—"my
lord, beware! All England Is tired of
your Iniquities. Ood will punish you
hereafter, but I will punish you here."
"Well, this is too much!" cried Buck.
Ingham.
"I ask if humbly of you, my lord,"
said Felton. "Sign this, order for the
liberation of I-ady de Winter." He
held a paper to the duke.
".Never! Who waits there?" cried
the duke and st the same time spring
toward his sword.
But Felton did not give him time to
draw it. He held the knife with which
milady bad stabbed herself open in his
bosom. At one bound b* was upon the
duke.
At that moment Patrick entered the
room, crying:
"A letter from France, my lord."
' Felton plunged the knife Into his *lde
up to the handle.
"Ah. traitor," cried Buckingham,
"thou bast killed me!"
"Murder!" screamed Patrick. .
Felton cast bis eyes round for means"
of escape and. seeing the door free,
be rushed Into the next chamber and
precipitated himself toward the stair
case. but upon tlie first stop be met
Lord de Winter, who, seeing blm pale,
confused, livid and stained with blood,
both upon his bands snd face, seized
blm, crying:
"I knew It! I guessed It! But too
tats by s minute, unfortunate, unfor
tunate that I em!"
Felton made no resistance Lord ds
Winter placed blm In the bands of the
guards, who led blm, while awsltlag
fresh orders, to s little terrace looking
oat upon the sea. And then the heron
hastened to the duke.
At the cry uttered by the daks snd
the scream of Patrick, the man whom
Felton had m* In the antechamber
rushed into the closet. Hi found the
duke reclining upon s sefa With bis
band pressed upon the wound.
"Laporte," said the duke in s faint
voice, "Laporte, de yoa come from
her?"
"Yes, monsieur," replied the faithful
cloak bearer of Anne of Austria, "bat
too late perhaps."
"Silence, Laporte.' Yoa may be over
beard! Patrick, let-no one enter! Oh,
I cannot tell what she says to mel My
God, I am dying!"
And the duke fainted.
In the meanwhile Lord de Winter,
the deputies, the leaders of the expedi
tion, the officer* of Buckingham's
u - • vnoic, naa an muue uieir way >utu
the chamber. Cries of despair re
sounded on all sides.
Lord de Winter tore his hair in ago
ny. He had learned of milady's escape,
had remembered the verbal caution
D'Artagnan had transmitted to him by
hi* messenger, had trembled for the
duke and had galloped off at full speed.
The duke, however, was , not dead.
He recovered a llttlo.
"Gentlemen," said he, "leave me
alone with Patrick and Laporte. Ah,
is that you, De Winter? You sent me
a strange madman this morning. See
what a state he has placed me in!"
"Oh, my lord," cried the baron, "I
■hall never console myself for It!"
"And you would be quite wrong, my
dear De Winter. But leave us, I pray
you."
The baron went out sobbing witb
grief.
"What has she written to me?" said
Buckingham feebly.
Laporte broke the seal and placed the
paper before the eyes of the duke, but
Buckingham In vain endeavored, to
make out the writing.
"Read!" said he.
Laporte read:
Milord—By that which lines I hnve
known you I have suffered by you and ror
you I conjure you. if you havs any care for
my repose, to Interrupt those great arma
ments which you are preparing against
France, to put an end to a war of which

cause and of which it Is generally whis

and real cause.

ANNE.
"Have you nothing else to say to me
yourself, I.aporte?" asked he.
"She charged me to tell you that.she
still loved you." 1
"Ah," said Buckingham, "my death,
then, will not be to her as the death of
a stranger.. Patrick, bring me the cas
ket In which the diamond stud* were
kept and tbe sachet of white satin upon
which her cipher I* embroidered ID
pearl*."
Patrick obeyed.
"Here, Laporte," said Buckingham,
"these are the only remembrance* I
ever received from her, thl* allver ca*-1
ket and these letters. You will restore
them to her majesty, and as a lust me
morial"—he looked round for *ome val
uable object—"you will add"—
Hl* eyes, darkened by death, met
with nothing but Felton'a knife.
"And you will add to them this
knife," *ald the duke, preulng the hand
.of Laporte. Then In a last convul*lon
be slipped off the aofe on the floor.
At this moment the duke'* surgeon
arrived. He took the duke's hand, held
It for an Instant lu his own and, letting
It fall, aaid:
"All Is useless; he 1* dead."
"Dead! Dead!" screamed Patrick.
A* *oon aa Lord de Winter *aw Buck
ingham waa dead be ran to Felton,
whom the soldiers still guarded on tbe
terrace.
"Miserable wretch," said ho to the
young man, who had regained £ls cool
nes* snd self possession, "what hast
thou done?"
"I have avenged myself," said be.
"Avenged yourself!" said the baron.
"Bather say that you bave served as
an Instrument to that accursed woman.
But I swear to you that this crime iball
be her last crime."
—"I lon't know what you mean," re
plied Felton. "1 killed tbe Duke o>
Buckingham because he twice refused
you yourself to appoint me captain, i
have punished him for his Injustice
that I* all."
De Winter, quite stupefied, looked oa
while the soldier* bound Felton. One
thing alone, boweTer, threw a shade
over tbe pallid brow of Felton. At ev
ery nolae be beard tbe simple Puritan
fancied be recognized the step and
Tolce of milady coming to meet death
with him.
All st once be started. His syss be
came fixed upon a point of ths ses. Hs

directed toward the coast of Francs.'
He grew desdly pals, placed his hsad

CHAPTER XUII.

THE first fear of the King of
Kngland, Charles 1., on learn

was tbst such terrible news

that no vessel should go out antll ths

Daring all this time nothing fresh oc

asked tbe cardlasl to order him an es
