Captain Grant hail pnttsml sharpljr In a Ittultory ram We. There stood before him one upon whom his eyos Iwcamc rIumI, and ns he looked upon her feature It could he plainly seen that he care quite a start, though Immedlntelr aftor he was hlinwlf again, cool and collect ed. "Who are you, girl, and what do you seek hero?' he asked, somewhat haught ily. "I am ltarbara Merrlles, the cypy." replied the girl, her eager eye first fait cned upon his face wonderlngly, exini't antly, and then, with a dlsapiwlnted ex preslou, turning upon his hand. Captain Grant had held his left hand behind him, seemingly In a careless mm ner. As yet she had not been able to catch even n glimpse of It. "I am searching for a man," she con tinued. "Ah. indeed. And may I Inquire what success has atteuded your search thus far" asked the Captain, into whose eyes came a mot p4cullar gleam. That look betrayed him. lie might dis guise his features, niter his voice be yond recognition, but the eyes of hate are keener than those of love, and liar barn Merrlles had seen that expression In his eyes too often to forget it. She knew him now. "1 have searched far and wide for him," she said "the man who mined my life, and killed my gypsy mother through his heartlessness to me. I flattered my self that I would know htm, no matter where or when I met htm, such was my hate for him; hut I was wrong. Once I thought I had found hi in, and only af ter tny dagger had almost taken his life did I realise my mistake and curse my blindness. The Man I had followed so long was not the Itoger Darrcl who wrecked my life, but one to whom 1 owe much In the past. Hut uiy work Is nearly done. The monster who wrecked my life still lives, and I have found him. Heaven be praised for this moment. Hold out jour band, tiend, scoundrel! Ho the black glove! That Is the last proof. Here the trail ends. For many weary months I have sought a demon In human shape, and now I have found him. You are the man!" Her Intensely black eyes were bent up on the form of the man before her. ns ?&$L0SS$$$$$g ELBR lEUfi IPHbBIHPtv. -MvBAfc TfcBBLaMB thkiu: sin: clung nirrwuKS mpb and death. though she would scorch him with the Ore that was contained in them, while her right band was raised, and tho dex ter finger pointed at her enemy as if she would send a imisoned dart to his heart, "Yes, you are tho man, the flend, the demeu who destroyed my jxjace. Deny it if you dare!" The man laughed sneeringly. "I have no choice left me, only to pro test ngainst the endearing adjectives yon apply to my poor self. If you ask me plainly, am I the mail who once thought be loved you, and, finding out bis mis take, deserted you rather than remain and bring you -to more pain, I answer, 1 am he." "Then you have pronounced your doom. Among tho peaks of the Pyrenees I made my terrible vow to hunt you down to the death, even If it took years to accom plish it, and I have never forgotten that vow in the long time that has elapsed since then. 1 knew that fate would bring us face to face again, and time has proven bow wise I was in my belief. The keen stiletto of the gypsy girl dashed lu the sunlight. To many a man the sight would have been one full of horror, for the Captain stood so close to tho edge of a precipice that It seemed as though a touch Mould send htm over, and the enraged girl was half-crouched, ready to lly at him like a panther. Not a nerve of his frame trembled, and yet lie knew full well his danger. At such a time every faculty was needed to save himself, and the soldier could not afford to give way to trembling. He even smiled in her face. "I see you are like a tiger cat, and seek my life. Before you go a step far ther I wish to warn you, girl, that the consequences will fall upon your own head. For the last time, Barbara, be ware. If you come on, it will bo to your death." Ills face changed with the rapidity of lightning, and fn place of the sneering mile had ttwao a savage look, while his irgmcr. tfccri. brow was corrugated and his eyes Hash ed like little lightnings. "You waste your breath, Hoger Dar rcl; false lover, base tit-lull Hero I am, resolved to nvenge the past, and it Is just ns well for you, ns I would never leave you in Haee as long ns I lived. Here Is llarbara Merrlles' blow for re venge!" He saw that nothing he could say or do would kep her back; for the time being she was erased with fury, nnd would have leaped at him had she known that certain death lay beyond, but neither by look nor movement did he let her sec that he feared her. All the terrible wrongs of the past must h.iv runticd over the young gypsy girl and overwhelmed her, so that she hardly knew what she was doing, save that the object that had been the dream of her life for n long time Iwrk was in n fair way of being consummated. She would have been no mean antag onist for any man in her present condi tion, for the fury In her heart had made her muscles like steel. Her lithe frame was drawn up to Its fullest extent, .in. I such n picture of supple grace could not welt be found elsewhere. With a cry like that of an enraged ani mal, the gypsy girl sprang forward. She had been closed to Captain Urunl, ana this movement would hnve burled her form upon him had he remained In his old position which he did not. When he saw that time for action had arrived, and that the vengeful girl wis coming at him like a tornado, the ductlst Captain quickly stepped aside. The movement was so abrupt that there was no time given llarbara Mer rlles to recover herself, nud as a conse quence, not meeting with the resistance she had expected In the shape of her foeman, she tottered upon the very brink of the awful precipice. Kven then she might have recovered her equilibrium and saved herself, but It seemed as though It were fated she should perish, for the earth crumbled away beneath her weight, and, with a sharp cry, she went down. When hope seemed Indeed lost, n ray came to her, for her hands, thrown out with a clutch of despntr, fastened upon a root that Jutted from the face of the cliff at Its very top. There she clung, unable to help herself, hanging between life and death I Ho could have saved her If he would. One exertion of his muscular power, und she would have been lifted to life. How could she have ever again attempted to slay him when this was the case? Itut he was a man without a hoart. Kneeling down, he saw her face, white now from terror, the great black eyes looking up at him In a pleading way, but he oven smiled sardonically, and uttering one word, "Farewell," walked a few paces away to where be could only see the small brown bauds clutching the root In a death grasp. Then he turned his bark upon tho spot. He heard no sound, no cry, but when he turned a few minutes later, the hands bad vanished. Kplte of his satanlc na ture, the arch plotter could not but feel the shudder thnt passed over his frame as, In Ids mind's eye, he saw the poor gypsy girl whirling down to the awful death below. "It Is over," bo muttered between his teeth as he walked away with quick, nervous strides; "sho sought her own doom. Would that Nora Warner had gone with her. My skies are brightening with the drawing In of the not!" OIIAl'THl. VI. Carol Itlchmond suffered in hilcnce, Though her heart seemed broken, hhe made no moan; but "still waters run deep," and her quiet manner was only evidence of the great pain within. Nora Warner had met her one day in the woods, bad told her the story of the perfidy of "Itoger Darrcl," and tho story bad almost killed her, Ho long as she simply believed that there had been a great mistake In his past life that ho had wedded a woman who had gone mad she could still love him. After hearing what a horrible narrative Nora Warner had to tell, however, It seemed as though, all the dreams of her young life were battered. Hhe could not. believe Itoger guilty of such inhuman cruelties toward one who had been such a good angel toward htm, and who had given him such trusting love, and yet Nora Warner hnd been resdy to stake her very soul upon it. Bho had borne none nf the looks such ns an Insane person would be supposed to losses, and had, In fact, seemed singu larly calm, except for the excitement caused by the telling of her story. Conflicting doubts nruo In the mind of the young girl, nnd she suffered quite ns much from the uncertainty of knowing the truth ns from the fncts themselves. She was not to be allowed to remtlii long In this state, however. Kvents were clustering about her own homo thnt were destined to have much concern with her future. Meanwhile Lawrence Itlchmond was like n tiger nt bar. He was In the toll of the oppressor, nnd. although he squli til ed under tho yoke, he could do nothing but what the Ctiptnlu wlslieil. The Cnptaln knew full well how he was hated, but he was U bold and recklrMS to heed It much, nnd let incuts shape themselves. The situation had not been a very pleas ant one. menaced by thine two women of the dead past as It had been; but he was a mnn who believed firmly In luck nnd fate, and something seemed to tell him that nit would riue out well. So far ns llarbara Merrlles was con cerned this had come true, for she would trouble blur no more, unless her spirit could come back to hnunt the mini who had hecu the curse nf her life, n thing I thnt the Captain hud no fear of. I Thus affairs were allowed to drift along In their own way, and the fatal hour I drew near when (tie climax was to come. Tho young girl felt her soul recoil In ' horror nt the thought of making n sacrl-j fice even for her father's sake, for he had given her to understand Jutt about how j it was, I Still it was 'not so bad as It might, hare been at a former time. Her heart lay dead within her, and she could not take halt the Interest In matters that sho might otherwise have done, but yet the Idea of marriage with that man was quite enough to horrify her. There was one. however, whoso Into est In her never llnggnl. anil that person was Itoger Darrcl. He knew she lovrd hlui, and. If her scruples would not per mit her to marry him ho was at lei it determined that sho should not be forced to mnrry another against her will, There was one of the servants at the Terrace who had become aware of the love that existed between his young mis tress and the matter of Darrcl Chan, nnd whom, some time previous, linger had been In a situation to assist In a material way. I After that event Andrew had taken It upon himself to convey all that be saw and heard In reference to Mls Carol to Itoger Darrel. He did not act In a mean manner, but, hollering that his object was good, and that tho end Justified the means, ho was continually on the look out for something hinging on tho case. . Thus the young master of Darrel Chacel was aware of all things of Importance that were transpiring nt the Terrace. He learned, with great surprise nnd au ger, of the plans that were being per fected for the sK-edy marriage of Carol. Iloth the Captain ami I.awreure Itlth mond would hnve been amnxed could they have learned bow much of their mutual understanding was known. Itoger was quite well aware of the fart that the soldier diielUt ponsessvil n secret wlmli he held over the head of Carol's fnlli-r, nnd that this same secret was to he the ' vpen sesaiuo" to the old geiitlcimiu s tress it re. He knew that Carol tinted this Cap tain Crnnt n hoover ho might be, nud he became firmly resolved that, If It ' must be the last act of his life, he would prevent the unholy marriage, Since words would be of no avail, he was ready to proceed to still stronger measures. He remembered the story of young lochlnvar, who carried off his bride Just when she was about to be married to an other, and yet the cases were far from being parallel, for In this Instanco 'hero was a barrier between them, nnd, even though he saved Carol from such a fate, It would not bring them any closer to gether. M'AMwhile preparations wro going on nt tho Terrace for the wedding of Cap tain (Irant nud Carol. The young girl hnd not spirit enough Just then to resist, Her faith In Itoger was not gone, but It had received a terrible shock, and this rendered her quiescent with tho numb pain that filled her heart. Hie preparations were not of n magnifi cent nature, for it was tho Captain's wish that the ceremony should bo quiet. What was his object In this, he, the mnn so full of display and love of ostentation, they could not comprehend; but Law rence Itlchniund suspected that he was afraid some one who hail known him lu the past might learn of his whereabout". Filled with this Idea, the Virginian mado haste to have an announcement of the coming mnrriago In sevcrnl dlffereut papers of Washington and Itlchmond. With rare cunning he also contrived to have a little Item go tho rounds of tho press In reference to a vow tho soldier had made years before, to always wear his left hand covered by a black kid glove. "If that doesn't bring tho Philistine, down upon him, then nil Is lost." Bo said the master of the Terrace to himself as he read some of tho notices that were in tho papers, and then caro fully hid the sheets away for fear the Captain should Might upon them, (To be contlnued.l Doubtful Ileconiiiieridiitloii, "Han win tunisA , n unt nf tooth thnt will look natural?" asked the patient.
