hissed, snatching the weapon und
then turning quickly upon the gun
maker. Thus far Kuric had remained si
lent, but he felt it his duty to npeak
now. . 1
"Sir count," ho said in u tonts so
stern and authoritative and with a
look so commanding that tin oilier
mu-hcli-fc. ibcyuso hy it "1
speak ono word. You novo provok
ed a quarrel with nie, and you have
challenged me. 1 have no fear of
death when duty calls for my life,
hut 1 would not die thus, nr would
I slay a fellow Wing thus. Six sep
arate times today since our swords
first crossed have I spared your
life"
"Liar!"
"and twice have I had you be
fore mo unarmed," Kuric continued
without noticing the interruption.
"I had honed this would have shown
you that I sought not harm to you
and, furthermore, that you were no
match for me at this kind of work."
"Out, fool !" yelled DamonotT, now
fairly frothing with rage, '"if you
daro not cross swords again, say so,
but do not crawl oil like a coward '."
"One word more," uttered Kuric,
paling for an instant beneath the
unmerciful insult of the senseless
tonguo that assailed him, nnd he
stood proudly erect while lie spoke,
"beforo these men here assembled
nnd beforo God I swear that thus
far I huvo spared you, but my own
life may be the forfeit if I triilo with
you more. So now beware. You
have sufficient warning."
Terhaps the count really over
looked the facts of which Kuric had
spoken. In his ungovernable rago
ho may have fancied that 'twas only
accident that had worked against
him. However, ho started forward
once moro and made a furious lungo
at his antagonist.
"Now," ho gasped, "play your
best, for my sword's my own."
But Rune spoke not. Ho saw that
tho count was stronger than before
for his rago seemed to givo him a
maniac's power and that he was
earnest only for lifo or death. Ho
struck quickly and furiously, and
his movements were strange and un
precedented, no threw up all rules
of exercise and cut and thrust only
in wild madness. Twice Kuric came
nigh being run through. Ha lost all
run of his opponent's pluy and
quickly saw that he must put a stop
to the conflict or run the risk of
leaving a childless mother in his
home to see that day's sun sink.
"Will you give o'er ?" ho asked as
he struck the count's point down.
"Never! Submit to 6uch as you ?
Bah!"
A few moments moro the conflict
lasted. Ono more opportunity he
had at Pamonoff's heart, and ho
spared him. All present saw it save
the madman.
"Fool!" uttered the monk, who
trembled fr&m head to foot with ex
citement, his huge belly shuking like
a bag of jelly. "Will you throw
away your own life, Kuric Ncvcl?
Shall I tell your mother you left her
of your own will?"
This mention of his mother called
tho last lingering doubt from Ku
ric's mind. Again ho struck the op
posing point down, nnd then he
pressed his own point upon the
count's bosom. He avoided the
heart he tried to avoid tho vitals
but he threw his arm forward, nnd
his glittering blade passed through
tho fool's body. A ith an expres
sion of pain upon bis features ho
started back nnd rested his reeking
point upon the trodden snow. The
count came furiously on again, but
he struck wildly and nt random, Ku
ric merely wnrding off his blows, un
til finally his arm sank. On the next
moment his sword foil from his
nerveless grasp, nnd be sank, faint
ing, back into the arms of his at
tendants. CnAITEK VI.

"Is ho dead?" asked Kuric, start
ing quickly forward.
"Hold, my son," uttered tho
monk, laying his hand upon the
young man's arm. "Surely you have
nothing to four., It was none of
your work, no more than if you had
run your sword to tho heart of a
wild beast that had attacked vou."
"But I did not touch his Wart,"
quickly returned the youth. "I was
careful of that. I would have struck
him upon the head with the flat of
my sword, but I feared I might
break his skull." ,
"He is not dead yet," answered
tho surgeon as Kuric pressed fur
ward and asked tho question a sec
ond time. "He has only fainted
from the shock of the blow, coupled
wish his own fears and passions."
"But i ill ho die?" Kuric asked,
kneeling down by the fallen man's
side. -
"I cannot yet toll," the doctor
said, at the same time wiping the
Mood away, which was flowing free
ly. "But why not prolie the wound
now?" suggested the monk. "Now
is the hest time, for the Tilnre is not
yet inflamed, and while he is thus in
sensible ho will be free from pain."
The 8urgeon at once saw the
truth i-i-d propr-cry of this, and he
proceeded to a. t upon tho sugges
tioii. Having mUcuJ a probe which
;ipi'ar d applicable, he examine i
tho wound. Kuric watched him eu
gcrlv and u ith u painful expression.
"I da nut thii:k this' wound i
mortal," tho aiteou reported a he
carcfuliv felt his ay long the
course t'iu Heel h:i l taken. "It hu
r-ussed Mow tho right lung and on
lv severed home oi tho smaller blood
vesw-K I think, with proper care,
he ma recover ."
'Illume God!" f.-rveiitly ejaculat
ed Karic, with his hands clasped.
-Hat why so aioiious?" asked Ur
zen. "You "were ready enough to
accept his challenge."
"Ave, else you would have called
me coward," returned the gunmak
er, with a flashing eye. "Had I re
fused to meet him that fatal word
would have met jno at every turn, 1
i-rw.w !' !'.?! it'll" s h was
copo for me ut any " game wncre
strength of arm and sleight of hand
were required. So I meant to dis
arm him nnd then give him up his
life, believing that such a move
would end the combat. Y'ou know
how I labored to spare him. But I
could not. Yet 1 would not havo the
life of a fsllow being, a countryman,
unon mv hands in such a suarroU
My father died fighting for his coun-
try, ami so would l nie u my twain
must come from the hand of man.
But to dio thus would bo a curse
upon my name, nnd to inflict such
death upon another would be a curse
in mv memory." '
"1 believe you, my son," the monk
said. "Only if tho count died you
should not allow such feelings as
vou mention to overcome you. In
no way are you to blame for this."
"True, father. You speak truly,1
added the surgeon. I he young
man has acted most nobly, nnd no
hlmne can bo attached to lam." .
Kuric seemed somewhat relieved
by these assurances, and, having
Rj cn tho count's wound dressed nnd
assisted in lienring tho insensiblo
form to tho sledge, ho took Alaric s
proilercd arm and proceeded to his
own tenm.
"Who is that monk?" asked the
lieutenant as they entered their
sledse.
"I only know that ho is called
Vladimir," returned Kuric. "I have
only seen him once before. Have
you" ever seen him ere this ?"
''Yes; several times about our bar
racks. Ho has been there when
somo of our poor fellows have been
sick and dying. He seems to be a
good hearted man and, I judge,
quite intelligent."
"I agree with you there," our hero
said. "I think ho is a good man, but
thero is nevertheless a mystery
about him which I cannot solve.
His countenance is familiar to me,
and yet I cannot tell where nor when
I have seen hint."
"Aye," added Alaric quickly and
eagerly; "that is precisely the case
with mo. I am very sure that I have
seen that man under different cir
cumstances. And others of our com
pany have thought the same."
Tho two men watched tho move
ments of the monk while they thus
spoke, and they noticed that ho en
tered his slcdgo and drove off to
ward Borodino.
"Kurie," said the lieutenant after
they had ridden some little distance
and at the same timo gazing won
dcringly into his companion s face,
"you handle the sword like a magi
cian . By my 6ouI, I'd givo all I own
ot this present moment, my commis
sion and all, if I could handle the
sword as you can."
"I do understand tho weapon
passing well," returned the youth
modestly, "but I have worked hard
to gain t lie science." j I
"Ah, 'tis not all science," the offi
cer added. "That wondrous strength
of yours is a host in itself." '
"And yet," said Kuric, "I have
seen weaker men than myself who
would overcome mo cosily or, at
least, who might overcome mo."
"But they wore not in this city,"
suggested Orsa, with a peculiar
shake of the head.
"True, Alaric. I am not in the
habit of mentioning my own powers,
but yet I may say thnt thero is no
man in Moscow who is my superior
in the use of any sort of offensive
arms."
Tho lieutenant readily admitted
tho truth of this, and then the con
versation turned upon tho subject
of the count and tho course ho had
pursued with respect to the event
which had just transpired. This
conversation lasted until they reach
ed tho door of Kuric's residence,
nnd, having thanked his friend for
his kindness and expressed the hope
that at some time he might have
man. But 'tis too late now. The
die is cast. Yet I hnvc some joy in
this. You have shed a happy light
upon mv dving hour. Uod bless
you '."
Kuric's feelings were easily moved,
nd there was something in the deep
solemnity of this occasion thnt
started his heart to a tender mood,
and the last words of the dying man
flowed the cup. He bowed his head,
and, covering his eves with one hand
while he held in the other the hand
of t'onrad, ho wept freely and si
lently. At this moment tho woman arose
nnd left the room. "
"She's gone," said the count after
he had recovered somewhat from
the deep emotions which had been
stirred within his own soul. "Sit
down here beside me."
Kurie obeyed the request, nnd aft
er he had seated himself he gnzed
sadly into the sick man's face.
"Say, Riiric," the count asked,
while nn engrr look overspread his
lace, "wast true what Kopani told
joethat you overcame Dea.vinu.
tho Greek with tho svord:"
"I did," the youth rephid i:i a
whi-'per.
"But you oil not Jr:u l.iw ?
Ysu did not fairly Uko hi t.v.il

"I did, Coi-i-id."

"And ytt obscure."
"Never jiiind that now,'' iu;-.r-

"Speak on," said Conrad, at Um
same time running his eyes ulmo-k
enviously over the jttini. inker's no
bly developed breast and shoulders.
""Then, first, 1 have juit coma
from the Lady Kosalind - Ah, I
jacsat r.?-- ' . v
"Go on. I may have felt a pang
at the mention of thnt name, but I
know she loves Jou, uud were I
6trong at this moment ns ever I'd
relinquish all claims of her to yon.
So fear not."
"Thank you, sir count, for tin.
But, I was remarking, 1 am not l.nirf
from her presence, and between us
both we have siApectcd bomu dark
things. Do you think the duke waj
really your friend ?" .
Tho count started, and a strange
gleam shot from his eyes.
"Go on," he uttered.
"Then listen. Before you ever
came to my shop tha duko had sol
emnly promised Kosnlind that sho
should rcceivo no more trouble from
you that you would claim her hand
no more."
"Do you know this ?"
"I do."
'But it cannot be. Why should
ho have sent mo on that mission to
you?"
"1 had taught one of his ollicers
the sword exercise, and he know I
was your superior in strength and
the use of the weapon."
"Well, go on, whispered thu
count nervously and anxiously.
"Why, ho thought very likely that
we should not meet on such n ques
tion without a quarrel, - lie know
your natural impetuosity nnd my
strength of arm and hoped you
would fall.
"But go on!"
"His estate is running out. and ho
wants the whole of Drotzen."
"Ah, I see it now I"
"The duke had proposed himself
for Bosalind's hand," resumed Ku
rie. "Ho says ho has loved her long,
and ho will forco her to marry him
if he can, though he breaks her
heart."
"My God!" gasped tho count,
fairly starting up to a sitting pos
ture. "JIow Mind I have been! By
my soul, he never was cordial, never
kindj" .
Kuric gently laid the sick man
back, and then ha said:
".From all that I can sec and un
derstand, the proud duke mcanLto
get all your wealth and nil of osa
lind's.". .
Tho count spoko not yet. He lay
with his eyes closed and groaned in
agony at the strange revelations
that were breaking in upon him.
But, see! Why 6tarts Kuric so
suddenly, and why docs ho turn so
pale? Why do his hands tremble,
and why is his brow bent so eagerly ?
"Whet is it?" asked the count,
startled by tho strange event.
"Hold! whispered Kuric in a
frantic tone. "You were recovering
once?"
"From this wound?"
"Yes."
"Yes. I was getting well fasjt,
and the doctors said I should bo
stout and well in a month. But sud
denly this change camo on. Let's
see. On Friday morning I felt the
first relapse."
''The very time !" gasped Kuric to
himself.
The count moved his head for
ward and would havo caught his
companion by the hand if he could.
"For God's sake, Kuric, what is it?"
"As I came this way I saw a
humpbacked priest pass out from
this house?" said the gunmaker in
terrogatively. "Yes, yes," returned the count,
speaking shortly and quickly. '"It
was Knvotano. lie has attended
me. Tho duke recommended him."'
"And wns he hero Thursday
night?" . "
"Thursday? Ah, yes; he watched
with mo that night."
"And has he been in attendance
since ?"
"Yes every day. But why do
you ask? . Say, what is that mean
ing upon your face ? What is it '"
"At this moment the door of the
apartment was quietly, noiselo.vly,
opened, and Kopani, the surgeon,
entered tho place.
"Ha!" cried Kuric, starting to
ward him and grasping him bv the
arm. "Your patient is poisoned ! A
deadly poison has been given him.
and it is even now eating his hie
way!"
"Impossible!"' gasped tho surccm,
training his eves to see plainly w ho
it was that spoke to him. "Ah '." be
uttered ns ho became somewhat u-ed
to the gloom of tho apartment, "is
it you, sir?"
"Aye, but mind not that now.
Cannot you do something for the
count? lie has been poisoned."
"It cannot be!"
"By the hopes of my salvation,"
cried Conrad Dnmonoff, starting up
to a sitting posture, "he speaks the
truth! That noeiirscd priest! Oh,
Olgn, Olgn, 1 never dronmrd that;
thou wast mine enemy!"
