A iumiii ur, tilt count iind his sec
ond arrived and tho horra had boon
secured the lieutenant proposed that
they should repnir to. the building
which was close ut hiin.l. This was
a large open lv.nt house which wns
nniisetl nnl deserted in tlie winter,
and it was promised to go in thero
been two the n'rtiM-tion of tho strong
sunlight from tho bright Fnow was
calculated to blind imil blur tho cyo.
"Iln! What ineniift that?" uttered
Orsa na he anw a cledc just turning
the bend of tho river with an olficer
in it.
"It is only a surgeon," replied
Dnmnnofr. "I would ' not rut n
innn's (lesh without pivinj him a
fair chance to survive it."
"And then yon mny find him
serviceable to yourself, eh?" sug
gested the lieutenant. t
"Of course. There is no telling
Trhnt may happen."
In a moment more the new sledge
came up, and Ituric recognized its
inmate as nn nrmy surgeon whom ho
had seen before, though ho knew not
his name.
"Now for tho old boathouse,"
cried Urzcn.
"Aye," added DamonolT. "Let us
have this business done, for I would
be back to dinner. I dino with Olga
today, and a fair maiden awaits my
coming."
"Notice him not," whispered Or
sa, who walked closo by Kuric's side.
"That is ono of his chief points
when engaged in an affair of this
kind, lie hopes to get you angry
and so unhinge your nerves."
"Never fear, returned the gun
maker. "Bo suro ho only brings
new danger to himself, for such ef
forts will find their i point in the
musclo of my arm."
Tho party halted when they
reached tho interior of tho rough
structure, and tho count threw oil
his pelisse and drew his sword. Ita
lic followed his example.
"Sir count," tho latter said as he
moved a step forward, "cro we com-1
menco this work I wish all present
to understand distinctly now I
stand. You have sought this quar
rel from the first. Without the least
provocation from mo you havo in
sulted mo most grossly, and this is
the climax. So, before God and
man, bo tho result upon your own
head." '
"Out, lying knavo" ' f
"Hold, cried tho surgeon, laying
his hand heavily upon tho count's
arm. "You have no right to speak j
thus, for you lower yourself when
you do it If you havo como to fight,
do so honorably."
An angry reply was upon Damo
noff's lips, but he did not speak it
Ho turned to his antagonist and
said:
"Will you measure weapons, sir?
Mino may be a mite tho longest I
seek no advantage, and I havo ono
here of the same length and weight
as my own if you wish it"
"1 am well satisfied as it is," re
plied Ruric.
"Then take your ground. Are you
ready?"
"I ami"
Tho two swords were crossed in
an instant, with a clear, sharp clang.
There was so mo contrast between
the two combatants, but not much
apparently. Tho count was a little
tho toller, and Ruric was somewhat
heavier. But to a close observer
there was a peculiar contrast in tin
bearing of tho two men. That
breast swelling out so nobly and
those massivo shoulders, mado for
the seat of physical power, were Eti-'
ric's alone to possess. Yet Conrld
Pamonolt was accounted a strong
man. In tho athletic sports of tho
court club he had few superiors and
not many equals. But Rurio Ncvcl
had never shown his strength there.
Now, for the first time, that con
temptuous lok passed, from the
count's face. As his eye caught his
antagonist's poxition, as he notic
ed the calm, dignified, quiet ease
of every limb and as ho caught the
deep, mystic fire of those exprcssivo
eyes he knew that he bad no com
mon amateur to deal with.
At length Conrad PamonofT start
ed back, and a quick cry escaped his
lips. His antagonist's point had
touched bis bosom. It had pressed
against his heart and had not been
driven home. Well he knew that his
life was his no longer, for tho gun
maker had gained it and spared it.
,"You fence well," he gasped,
struggling to regain his composure.
"You are not a novice," returned
Ruric calmly, at the same time al
lowing his point to drop.
"Como on," the.count ttered,
now garnering ui 1" energies lor
another effort.
And again the weapons were
crossed. This tinia IinmonofI was
more- guarded. Before he had been
imjicllcd by his own asnuriince, but
now ho was forced to regard his op
ponent's power. 11 uric quickly
found that tho other was iuoro care
ful than at first, and he carried his
own point accordingly. At tho
twelfth stroke the count made a
feint to the left, then at the thmnt,
and then, with a quick, lightning
liko motion, ho brought his point to
his antagonist's heart. But his
meaning had been read from the
first by Ruric. Tho youth caught
tho motion of tho eye, and bo saw
thut his heart was the place looked
to. His own movement was ulmost
instinctive. He received his antag
onist's sword midway upon his own
blade, thon moved his arm quickly
forward and caught tlio point under
his cross guard ; then, w ith ull his
power, he wrenched his nrin upward
and backward, and tho count's
sword went flying across the build
ing. It struck the opposite wall
with a dull clang, and tho next in
stant it was half buried in the snow.
"Fear not, sir," 6aid Ruric os the
count started back, with both hands
raised. "I never striko an unarmed
man."
Pamonoff's arms fell to his side,
and a deep blush of shame mantled
his face.
"By St. Paul," cried the surgeon,
"your life is forfeited, sir count,
and now you should be satisfied."
"No, no," the discomfited man ex
claimed, starting up with rage and
mortification. "That was but a slip.
'Twns a false step, a etwardly feint.
I am not overcome."
"But, man of mortality, even now
your lifo is Nevel's. Ho may run
you through now if he chooses."
"But ho hns not," the count cried,
springing to where his sword had
fallen and snatching it up.
"Sir count," hero spoke Ruric
calmly, but with marked contempt,
"you should not blame mo' for what
I have done, for thrico have you
tried to break my sword."
"Then try it again!" Pamonoff
returned. "Take my sword again if
you can."
"Perhaps not," our hero retorted.
"But bo suro your sword shall be
used no moro after this day."
"Ha! Brag not, but striko. If
you can"
Tho conclusion of tho sentence
was drowned by tho clash of stccL
At the second stroko the count
mado another furious thrust at his
antagonist's heart. Ruric sprang
quickly aside, and with tho whole
power of bis good right arm he
struck Pamonoff's blade closo to tho
haft and broke it in twain.
"My other . sword, my other
sword I" tho count shouted, now
blinded by absolute madness. "Oh,
givo mo my other"
"Hold! cried both tho surgeon
and Stephen Urzcn in concert "You
arc mad, Conrad." .
"Mad? Oh, I shall be mad!
Where is my sword?" the reckless
man yelled, casting the bladcloss
pommel down.
"But will you not listen one"
"Away, I say ! Shall I give up be
cause my sword is broken? By tho
gods, tho weapon deceived me.
Whero is the other?"
"Deceived tliee, Conrad?" repeat
ed tho surgeon sarcastically. "By
the Holy Uhost, had thy head but
received A hundredth part of tho
blow 'twould not bo upon thy shoul
ders now 1"
But the count was beyond all rea
son. In his madness ho saw not that
his sword had been broken on pur
pose. He did not sec that he had
been at bis antagonist's mercy. But
his friends saw it all.
"Ha I Whom have wo here ?" cried
Alaric, whoso eye had caught a dark
form at tho entrance of the old
building.
It was Vladimir, the monk.
"How now ? Wlin t seek ye here ?
isked TTrzen as tho fat, burly mock
-addled toward the pnrty.
"I heard the clash of arms, my
son, as I rode by, and I stopjied to
see what it was. Surely win re the
work of death is going on u child of
the holy church of od may come."
"Aye," cried the count. "Come in
and welcome, but meddle not. Now,
my sword, where is it ?"
Iicluctnntly I "rzen brought for
ward the second sword, but ro he
gave it up be said :
"Beware, Conrad. You had better"
