"And jierhups you would have
done the same to mo."
"Sire," nnswcrvii the youth quick
ly, "when DuiiioiioI" tried by threats
to make me I im paper I told
him there wns but one ninn on
earth fit wWc irlcr I would lo
thnt thinp. Tlie man who hits tho
right to command plmll never havo
ocension to strike nc."
There wris Homcthing in this reply
nnd more in the tone nnd iK'uribg ol
him 'who Fixiko it that made the
duke tremble. lie caw plainly that
the emperor' eye sparkled with nd
mirntimi n they rented upon the
gunniiiker.
IIut now n!)out this duel," re
sumed the emperor. "How dared
you take iidvantae of tho count in
tho conflict ?"
"Advantage, sire?" repented the
youth in surprise.-
"Aye. Did he not. Stephen Ur
icn?" 'Ho did, Rirc," replied tho man
thus addressed.
"And w hich of tho two do you cull
tho best swordsman ?" Peter asked.
"Why, sir, tho count is or was
vastly his superior."
"And whftt sny you, 6ir-lieutenant?"
Alnric trembled, for this was ad
dressed to him. Ue knew that tho
duko was anxious to crush his
friend, and ho feared to draw tho
wrath of that powerful nobleman
down upon his head.' But a happy
thought came to his aid.
"Sire," ho said, "I would rather
you would judge of that for your
self." "Me judgcf And how am I to do
that?"
"Let Rurie Novel's skill bo tried
hero before you. If I mistake not,
you havo some good swordsmen near
your palace. There ia Demetrius, tho
Greek."
"What, my master at arms?"
"Yes, sire."
"Why, ho is the best swordsman
in my empire. I think our young
adventurer would fare badly in his
hands."
"Never mind, sire. You could
judge."
"Why," said Tcter, with a smile,
"Demetrius handles the count as I
would a mere child."
"Sire," spoko Kuric modestly, but
yet frnnCly, "it were surely no dis
grace to be ovcrcomo by your tutor."
"And will you take a turn with
him nt tho swords V
"Yes, sire, if so it please you."
"By my soul," cried tho emperor,
leaping up, "we'll have some diver
sion out of this trial. What ho,
there! Light up tho chamber. Let
every lamp bo lighted, for wo want
sight now. Send Demetrius hero
and tell him to bring his round edged
swords I"
Both tho duke and TJrzcn stood
aghast at this new turn, but they
dnred not interfere, for they saw
thnt their imperial master was nil
excitement now to see a trial of skill
at thnt scienco which, above all oth
ers, he tried to make his officers
learn. But then they had one hope
Demetrius might overcome the
gunmaker so easily that Tctor
should not sec his reul power.
Demetrius soon enme, nnd under
his arm he carried the swords. They
were of the common size, but with
round edges ami points on purpose
for play. The master at arms was a
iwcrfully built man ana ponseseou
a splendid form. lie was A Orcek
by birth and was now retained by
tho emperor as a tencher of tho
sword exercise.
"Demetrius," said Teter, "I havo
sent for you to entertain us with a
show of your skill. Here is a man
about whoFc ttoucr there is somo
dispute. Mind you, it is nil in kind
ness. Kuric Nevel, tnke your weap
on." Tho youth stepped forward and
extended his left hand for tho
sword, nnd the right hand he ex
tended for the other to grasp. It
wns taken wnrmlv, for the (ireek
saw in on instant that he had a no
Mo man to deal with. And those
two men were not much unlike in
form. Demetrius was nn atom tho
taller, but Uuric showed the moro
muscle.
The night hnd come on, hut tho
great lamps wrrc nil lighted, and tho
room was ns bright us day.
"Sir," said Uurie, addressing tho
Greek, "this is none of my soiling,
though I confers that for a long
whilo I have longed to cross a play
ful sword with you. I play well."
"I like you, the Greek returned
bluntly and kindly, "and if you beat
me I .will not like you less. I can af-
e.
3
I
lord to bo beat since, seeing thnt
thus fur I havo never been einec first
I offered to fence."
"Come, come," cried Tcter, who
was impatient for tho entertain
ment, "let's see tho opening. Now,
Like' twins stood those swords
men as their1 weapons crossed with A
clear, sharp clang. Tho Greek led
off careful!)', and iturio as carefully
warded every stroke. Then the for
mer assumed a guard, and Kuric led
oH in turn. Ero long tho swords
clashed with sharper ring, and soon
sparks of fire flew out from tho
clanging steel. Louder and louder
grew the clang, nnd quicker nnd
quicker grew tho strokes. Tho
thrusts were made with skill and
force, but ns yet neither had been
touched.
Tho emperor was in ecstasy. Ho
clapped his hands and shouted bravo
with nil his might.
By nnd by Kuric's cyo grew more
intense in its sparkling fire. His op
ponent saw it, but he could not tell
what it meant. Thcyouth was about
to risk the most daring feat of nil ho
knew. Steadily burned his eye, and
his lips were set like steel. At length
ho 6aw that the Greek was playing
for a thrust, and ho lowered his
point. Demetrius saw tho chance,
and, drawing his arm quickly back,
ho mado tho thrust with all his pow
er. Ho was suro now ho had won,
for there wns no earthly way in
which his point could bo struck ci
ther down or up. But seel With a
gliding motion, a motion almost im
perceptible,' Kuric raises his sword,
and tno other slides along upon its
side, and tho other point, instead of
touching his breast, is, caught in tho
cross guard of his haft. Then, quick
as lightning nnd with all his might.
Ruric bends his elbow downward
with tho wholo weight of his mass
ive shoulder nnd throws his wrist
upward. On that instant the Greek
sees and feels what meant that
strange fire of the eye. Ho feels his
point caught, but beforo ho enn closo
nis grasp moro firmly tho hnft is
wrenched from his hand. It strikes
tho vaulted ceiling with a dull clnng
nnd, descending, is caught fairly on
tho hilt by Kuric Ncvcl.
For a moment nil is still ns denth
in thnt chamber. Kuric is tho first
to break the silence. Ho advances
to the Greek, nnd ns ho hands back
both tho swords ho says :
"Demetrius, remember your
promise. I know you are a bravo
man, for I can sec it in your forgiv
ing glance. You will not liko mo the
less for this."
"By heaven, no!" tho noble Greek
cries, dropping both tho swords and
extending both hands, which tho
gunmaker grasped. "1 honor you, I
lovo you."
Tcter Alexiowitz, tho impetuous
emperor, then in tho zeal and fire of
youth, lenped from his standing
place and caught Kuric by the hand.
"By St. Michael," ho cried ear
nestly and loudly, "you stand clear
of nil blame, for full well do I know
that had you so desired you could
have slain Conrad DamonoH at your
first thrust"
"Sire," returned the youth, now
speaking tremulously, "twice did I
disarm tho count and yet sparo him.
And when in my rago I broko his
weapon in twnin to bring him to his
senses ho seized a second sword."
"Sir duke, spoko the emperor,
turning toward Olgn, who stood
trembling with rago nnd mortifica
tion, "you see you must havo labored
under a mistake. You can retire
now. Not a word, sir !"
With a quivering lip and a trem
bling step tho duko left tho apart
ment, and after him went Stephen
Urzcn.
"Now, Kuric Xevel, if yon leave
Moscow without my conont yon' do
so nt your peril. I would not lose
sight of you. You arc nt liberty."
In nn hour moro Kuric w:ns upon
his mother's bosom. Ho told her all
that had happened, all but tho last
words of the emperor. He did not
tell her of tho?ie, for he knew not
whether they boded him good or
evil.

as part of the canal."
THE BIBDS' MOTISU TIME.
The fall Is the time of the year
when hundreds of thousands of birds
migrate, by day and by night, in
large battallions from the frost-bound
North down to the sunny South.
These migrations form one of the
most interesting studies of ornithol
ogists, who toll us that the little
voyagers make their long journey
with the precision and discipline pf
an army on the march. They have
their advace end rear guards, while
the. main body remain compact. Of
course there are stragglers who are
unable to keep up with their com
panions, but these fall out of the
rank, end unless they perlsn maae
their way the best they can to thoir
destination.
Now that cold weather has set In at
the North millions of birds of almost
every species are on the wing for
the South. They are travelling
along the same high roads over which
they have past from time Immem
orial. Some of them go in vast con
gregations down the valley of the
Mississippi, and will not on any ac
count depart from that route until
they reach their winter abuicg-
dImc. Others skirt along the fringe
of the Rocky Mountain, thousands
and thousands in a Bock, halting at
any stopping-place, so long as the
weather is mild, and, when It Is colli
again, rining high Into the air with a
tumult of noises and continuing the
south want march.
One of the most Interesting things
in connection with the night-flying
bird is the apparent perfect system
of signaling that they maintain
when sometime! they are half a mile
high la the air. Tbey seem to have
Strang. (I a code of signals by whist
ling. The nuto is, of course, peculiar
to the bird, and is nsed among other
niiuM ui'o'ii Hin'giiig,"bu( for" the pur
pose of signalling this note only Is
used. The bobolink, for instance,
which h it a wido range of song,
when on the pa&wge haa but one cry,
and be advices the main body of any
threatened danger by whistling
"spina, B.iink."
The birds that lend tho main body
are veterans who have made the
march north and south half a dozsn
years. The signal of a wild goose Is
a loud "honk." The kingusher.who
chatters in his summer creek and
scolds so (hut you might almost Ira
aginethat he was a human being,
simply giv a scream or a single
resonant note, which keeps h'.i forces
together. These birds are ,all great
travellers. Some of them travel
every spring and fail front the shores
of Hudson liuy aud even Greenland
to the tropic: of Capricorn, a distance
of 6,000 miles,
Tht- masking of these forces in the
early fall Is very ci'-iou and highly
Interesting. Not a single bird starts
southward uctil tho cutting northern
winds begin to pipe. Then all the
families or broods for miles
around begin to collect, until hund
reds and sometimes thou-iands get
together and form Into a body on the
edge of the woods. Here the young
er birds wh -I, and scream, chasing
each other through the air; but the
elders uppe ir sedate, and seein to be
waiting to collect together every
bird that should join in tl.o march.
