BY W. S. KOBLIS,
After I was left alone, 1 spent aome
Ave minutes of my valuable time In won
dering why Iiiuly Bracknell had asked Do
Viousac to spoil poor Beauuhamp's after
noon. Were I a lady of great personal
attraction, I should, I dare say, enjoy
having several admirers; but 1 ahould
sertaiuly prefer to take them one at a
time. That a second maybe found useful
m a meuiw of atliunlatlng the ardor of the
first 1 can understand; but the object of
keeping them together after, that result
luu been fully obtained 1 not ao easy to
discover.
I did not go ont shooting with Brack
nell and the others that morning, nor was
1 able to put In an appearance at the lun
cheon hour. I had to finish my admirable
assay upon "Proportional Representa
tion" for The Eclectic Review, and, get
ting my arguments Into a knot toward
the hut pages (whloh, I am sorry to say,
is no unouiumon experience of mine when
composing admirable essays),' I was
aliuluod to my desk until the afternoon
was fur advunced, struggling to reconcile
oertaln Irreconcilable statements to which
1 had committed myself, and which I was
unwilling to retract. Bavlng at length
ruude up my mind to throw one of these
vorboard for the sake of harmony, I
wound up my task and sallied forth to
take the air.
The house In whloh I was staying stood
fci the midst of one of those wild, undulat
ing porks which are more frequent in the
northern than in the southern counties,
and which look like a survival of the Eng
land of 11(10 years ago. It was very beau
tiful In lu way, under the gray autumnal
sky, with shafts of pale sunlight falling
spoil the gnarled oaks and the withered
bracken, and upon putcbea of gone and
heather here and there. I hod walked
some distance across it and was wonder
ing whether Be Vleuzac's unpleasant
prophecy would over be fulfilled whether
the land upou which I was standing
would ever be parceled out among peas
ant proprietors, and whether, in that case,
the peasant proprietors would not find out
that they had made an uncommonly bad
burmttu, when the thud of approaching
hoofs interrupted my musings, and pres
ently Lady Bracknell, riding lietween her
two cavaliers, hove in sight.
They wore pleased to draw rein on recog
alzlng me, and Hilda aald they had had a
delightful ride; which assertion was re
ceived with emphatic sileuce by her com
panions, In all probability some bicker
ing hod taken place during the course of
It; fur the two men were looking daggers
at ouch other, und it struck mo thut Be
Vleuaoc was not quite as cool as he hud
been earlier in the day. A short distance
ahead of us was an luclosure, surrounded
by a high fence of iraat and rails, like a
large cuttle pen. It may have been in
tuuded to serve that purpose, or possibly,
at certain seasons of the year, to confine
the red deer, of which there was a herd lu
the park.
"There," said De Vieusac, pointing to
it with his whip and looking at Beau
shnmn. "would be a pretty leap. You
sould take It, perhaps; you who hesitate
at nothing."
"Oh. do, Mr. Beauchumpl" exclaimed
Hilda, enthusiastically.
"Iff dear Lodv Bracknell," I
strated, "what are yon thinking off The
thing Is absolutely Impossible. "
I am not sure that it was Impossible;!
am an Indifferent judge of matters of that
kind, and I have read wonderful accounts
at tin high Jumps accomplished by Aus
tralian horses. But I should certainly be
very sorry elthor to attempt such a feat
myself, or to see any friend of mine at
tempt it. Hilda did not seem to have
beard me.
"Oh. do tryf ' she repeated. "I know
you would get over all right."
Beauchomp's reply was highly credlt
ablo to his good sense and self control.
"I might get over," he said. "Whethorl
could get out again is another question.
But, anyhow, I couldn't think of risking
it with another man's horse. "
De Vlouzao Bmlled, and Beauchamp
turned upon him at once. "What's thut
you sayf" he asked, sharply.
"I assure you," answered the French
man, with exaggerated politouess, "that I
did not utter one word."
"You were thinking somothing,
though."
"Oh, for that, yes. I was thinking
something, I admit. I was thinking that
sometimes it Isvory convenient to be rid
ing a friend's horse."
The words amounted to a studied insult,
and would unquestionably have been so
accoplud in De Vieusiuds own country. In
Franco speeches of that kind arc permissi
ble, their consequences being, of course,
well understood; but neitlior In France
nor elsewhore is It custoinury to offer such
, direct provocation in the presence of a
lady, and ueauciiamp went, up buvoi-ui i
greee In my esteem when he answered 1
quietly: "We'll discuss the question after
ward, if you like. We may aa well ride
on now."
Hilda suddenly broke intoashort lough,
touohed her horso with tlio whip and gal
loped awav. The two men followod her.
' I confess that I hurried back to the house
as fast us my legs would curry me. I dis
liko and depreeats quarrels above every
thing; still, If quarrels must needs take
place, why should I not bo thcro to seef
After Do Vieuznc's inexcusable conduct, I
fait that it would bo a real satisfaction to
mo to see him knocked down, and I
thought that if I made great haste, I
. might just manage to arrive in time. As
tt turned out, I reached the front door
with several minutes to spare, i'rora the
flight of steps which led up to it I could
descry the riders, who, perhaps, had made
a detour, approaching at a foot's paco,
and presently I lmd the honor of assisting
Lady Bracknell to dismount.
. Bho stood for a moment, tapping her
foot with her riding whip, and looking
with an odd, satirical expression at the
. rivals "Au rovoir," Bhosald, nodding to
them 'I am going to lie down till din
ner ti ," Then she mado a scarcely por-
eepttl sign with her hand to Beuucliuiup,
who Uu up the stops after her und accom
panied her luto the house.
De Vleusac and J remained whan wt
were. I suppose we Tth knew that Bora-1 y
chnmp would be out again directly. And
Indeed the horses hud hardly been led
away to the stables before he emerged and
made straight for n&
"Monsieur de Vlenssac," wild he, "you
hinted Just now that 1 w..u a coward.
May I usk whether that . ' what you
meant r"
The Frenchman etralghw .wi his back,
brought his heels together, twirled his
mustache, and replied: "You are at lib
erty, sir, to place any construction upon
my words that may suit your pleasure."
"In good English, I suppose that meant
that yon want to light. If you had been
an Englishman I should have- hit yon
straight between the eyes, and It would
have done yon a lot of good; but as you're
a foreigner, I'm afraid we can't settle it
that way."
"The method," observed De Vlennac
sweetly, "seems a little barbarous. For
me, I confess that I have not learned to
box; but with the sword or the pistol I
shall be charmed to hold myself at your
disposition. Yon do not, perhaps, use
those weapons f"
"Oh, don't we, though!" returned Beau
champ, with a short laugh. "I shall be
happy to prove the contrary to you when
and where you please; only, of course, it
tiin't be In this country. If it's the same
thing to you, I should prefer to stay out
my time here; but next week 1 will meet
you at Ostend or any other place you
choose to name."
The Frenchman bowed. "It Is usual,"
said he, "to leave all details to be arranged
by the seconds In these affairs. Will you
then be so kind as to mention two gentle
men whose names and addresses I may
give to the friends whom I shall ask to
represent me t"
Beauchamp rubbed the back of his
head. "I don't want this talked about all
over the place, you know," he said.
"Maynard, you've heard tt all; perhaps
you'll be good euongh to act for me, and
find souie other fellow who can hold his
tongue, And look here," he added, turn
ing to De Vlenzao, "we had better pre
tend to be friends for the next few days.
Don't yon think sol"'
"Sir," replied the Frenchman, magnifi
cently, "I shall withdraw. I should be
desolated to be the occasion of embarrass
ment, and I will leave for London to-morrow."
With that, he took off his hat, bowing
low. Beauchamp stared, looked rather
Inclined to laugh, then nodded and turned
buck Into the house. And so this san
guinary eucounter was agreed upon.
CHAPTER XV.
As a matter of theory, It has always
seemed to me that the duello Is, upon the
whole, the best means that can be devised
of wiping out a mortal affront or Injury.
Such behig my sentiments, and Beau
champ, having been most unequivocally
and grievously insulted by De Vicuzao, I
could not but applaud the course taken by
the former. However, it Is one thing to
approve of a given quarrel, in the ab
stract, and quite another to allow one's
self to be mixed up in It; to see one's
uatne mentioned and one's .private char
acter discussed lu all the newspapers, and
even, perhaps, to be hauled before the au
thorities and cast Into prison. Deep,
then, would have been my consternation,
when my young friend so coolly nom
inated me as his second, if I had thought
that there was any probability of my act
ually figuring in that capacity; and the
genial alacrity with which I accepted the
greatness thrust upon me was, I allow,
due solely to the circumstance that I had
not the remotest intention of permitting a
hostilo meeting to occur.
The line of conduct which I adopted
with a view to avert bloodBhed was Bim
nle. and. as I flattered myself, likely to
prove effectual. I slipped awny from the
dinner table that evening, a little before
the other mcu, and, hurrying Into the
drawing room, seated myself beside Lady
Bracknell, who wus reclining in an easy
chair apart, and was doubtless waiting
for one or other of her victims to join her..
"Allow me," said I (for I was resolved
not to spare her), "to congratulate you
upon your energy and determination. If
you could have persuaded Beauchamp to
break his neck at that fence this after
noon, it would have been very nice. You
would have been au immensely rich wo
man at this moment, and probably no
body, except my unworthy self, would
have suspected you of beiug a murderesB,
lu addition to your other duims to notorf
ety. But the wretched creature wouldn't
jump, and so you hud to fall back upon
your original plan oi maucing wini x rencu
inan to challemie him and kill him. I am
sorry to disappoint you, but that plan of
yours will huve to be abandoned. You
must try to cook Beauchnmp's goose In
what the cookery book calls 'another
way.' "
Hilda buret ..into scornful laughter.
"What in the world are, you talking
ahoutt" she asked. "Have you lost your
sensesP"
"Not nt all," I replied! 1 retain poS'
session of thein and plnoe a modest reli
ance upon their evidence. But surely
yours were not quite aa acute as usual
wheu'Miu cast yourself, for the part of
Lncrezia Borgia. Trngcily, believe me, is

It you will break dowj, Mpn't you see

had succeeded, yon would hevV nave been

which you will instruct Beauchamp to
accopt." -.,.'-
Hilda'i face tvas not ordinarily an ex-
nrosstve one; biit as she turned it toward
me now, there swept across it a look of
such vindictive malice that 1 Inwardly re
canted my entioisiu upon her tragic capa
bilities. However, she soon subdued, that
passing eiuotlou and laughed again. "I
don't in tlie least understand you," she
declared: "I know nothing of any duel.
and how (an I help It it a couple of foolish
young niiu choose toquarrelf It appears
tome that you have bceu drinking too
much wine, and I should be much obliged
if vou would go awav for the present"
"With pleasure," I reolwd. rising. "Do
'wly ret use, then, to be a peaoe-
""
"I refuse." she answered somewhat de
fiantly, "to be dictated to by you. 1 don't
believe what yon Buy, and I shall not
make myself ridiculous liy trying to
smooth down a quarrel which most likely
exists only in your Imagination."
That was Ml mat 1 ooiaineu trom ner;
but in truth I hud not expected more; and
in addressing such plain spoken remarks
to her I had been actuated rather by cu
riosity as to how she would take them
than by any hope that they would divert
her from her purpose. : Tlie person whom
I did hope to influence wus He Vieuzac.
Him I waylaid on hour later, as he was
entering the wnoking room, and drew him
away into the billiard room, which ad
joined that apnrlinant, und which, fortu
nately, was untenanted. !
"Monsieur de Vieuzac," I began, "it It
quite out of the question that yon should
fight young Ueuiichump, and I think you
will admit as much when I have given
yon my reasons for Buying so."
He tnterrnptiKl me with suave courtesy,
observing that the subject wus no longer
one which he could properly discuss. Any
remarks which 1 might have to make must
be addressed hi his friends the Count de
Something awl the -Ylurouls de Something
else, who would not fall to cull upon me
in due course.
I replied that it would be needless to
give bis friends that trouble. "Of course,"
I continued, "you will not pretend that
the ostensible cause of your quarrel is the
real one."
"The cause of quarrel," returned he, 'Is
of perfect simplicity. . 1 have used words
which 1 decline to wit hdraw, and by which
Mr. Beauchamp conceives himself to b
wounded. And permit me once more, sir,
to tell yon that this conversation is most
Irregular."
"I dnro sav It is." I rejoined, "but yon
had better listen to me all the same. The
lady who Is at the bottom of all this"
"Mr. Mttiiiard." Interrupted De Vfeu
sac, "it is Impossible that 1 should listen
tb you. You scandalize me positively
vou scandalize mel What! yon speak of
a lady! you would perhaps in another
moment go so far as to mention her by
name! It is unheard of I 1 must beg of
you, Bir, to excuse mo." And he made for
the door.
"Verv well." said I. "have It your own
way, then, if you are determined to bring
about au explosion. Since you Insist upon
it, your friends slmll talk the affair over
with me and with Lord Bracknell, who
will be mv coadiutor."
De Vieuzac paused npon the threshold
and pulled his mustache. "ura macs.
nelll" he ejaculated. "Is that Mr. Beau
Charon's choice, utuv I ttskr"
"Oh, no: It is my choir. You heard
him give me leave to Belect a colleague,
and such is the selection that 1 propose to
make."
This brought the Frenchman to his
bearings. Be returned slowly and con
sented, under nnitest. to hear me. "What
is it that vou have to sav?" he inquired.
"Whv. sinipiv this," 1 replied. "Mr.
Beauchump, as you are probably ..not
aware, is the present holder of very large
estates, which, lu the event of his dying
without issue, would pass to his cousin,
Lord Bracknell. Consequently, ii he
were to die suddeuly within a short time,
a certain ladv whose name we won t men
tion would lie snatched from the brink of
bankruntcv and raised to a position oi
great wealth. Now, suppose that, by a
misadventure which I am sure you would
be the first to deplore, but which "you
might not ue able to avert, you were to
kill that young man. What do yon think
would be said of you and of the unnamed
lady? Or suppose, without going so far
as that, that you only wounded him. Is
it not certain that everybody would de
clare that you had done your beBt to kill
him? To me, at any rote, it la very evi
dent that the insult which you offered
him to-day was a nei pretext,' tad that
you had deliberately made up your uuuu
to lasten a quarrel upon mm.
The Frenchman's countenance, while
was speaking, exhibited various phases of
emotion; but now he blazed forth with
sudden fury and spruug at me like a wild
cat i'Blr," he hissed out, "do you dare
to license me of being au assassin?"
"Certainly not," I replied, drawing
back a few paces as a precautionary
measure, "but 1 think you, are n some
danger of incurring tltat accusation Irom
others." Then, as he eyed me lu a sus
picious maimer and appeared to be hesitat
ing, I continued: "Allow me, as' an in
sular barbarian, to siieak the truth to you
without phrases. The fact is that you
have been made a cat s paw ot by uie
most thoroughly unscrupulous woman of
my acquaintance. 1 venture to think
that it would be more consistant with
your honor aud dignity to apologize to
Beauchamp, whom you can t realty ue
lteve to he a coward, than to fight him
for the Bake of Lady Bracknell, whom I
have known all my life, aud who, I can
assure you, is not worth a drop of honest
blood. In any case, oepeua upou it wu

you. Lord Bracknell would not tai tc

ous a wretch as his ,t ,:e."
Keep silence!" wiasperod De Vieuzac,
hurriedly. ,
But his caution came too late. In my
anxiety to bring conviction home to the
mind of my Interlocutor, I hod not noticed
the entrance of a third person, aud now,
when 1 looM -round and saw Bracknell
standing closf to my elbow, I perceived
that the oat was out or the bag.
"You don't mince matters, Mnynard,'-'
Bracknell observed. "After that very
rank expression of opinion, I (dare say
youa'on,'t object to-my asking what you
are talking about."
"Our conversation was strictly confi
dential," broke lu De Vieuzac, with some
eagerness. -"Neither Mr. Maynard nor I
have the rigbt to repeat it," '
Bracknell glanced at him for a moment,
as a big dog glances at a little one, and
then turned to mo again. "Come," he
said, "I am waiting to hear In fhat re
enact I am less infamous than my wife."

When a Dog- Surrender.
It is evident that a man who will seri
ously undertake to put himself en rap
port with other animals can exchange
communication with them at least as
satisfactorily as he could with another
man who was confined to an entirely
different language. My dog, who has
had no special training, understands
some half dozen of my gestures, and
himself uses the turning aside of
the head to indicate dissent, accom
panied often by a plain look of disgust
at being misunderstood, puts up a paw
to deprecate punishment, turns on hat
back to express submission, sticks up Ids
tail the warrior brandishes his weapo
or waves his flag: the dog has no weapon
by way of defiance, lowers it for shame
or alarm. - - -

gesture of surrender. , If two Strang!

A number of delegates to the Pan-Peea-
byterlaii council, recently In session at To
ronto, went on an excursion to Niagara
falls the other day, and one of the minis
ters had a chance to show bis pluck and
nerve. The International bridge is re
served for toot and carriage traffic and
affords an excellent view of the river and
TUB KE8CUB.
the waterfall. The iron railings which run
along the sides would be sulllcient protec
tion for the most reckless or the most un
steady if they were supplemented with
some strong wire netting. But as they are
now there is a possibility, especially in the
of a child, of a pedestrian tailing
through the spaces between the bars.
This possibility was amply aemonHcraiea
by the incident referred to. It was over
this bridge that Mrs. Gri mason, of Toronto :
was passing, accompanied oy her two
daughters and the Rev. John Ramsey, ,
LL.D., of Ballymoney, Ireland. Tnoy nao
occupied the roadway as being safer than
the sidewalk safer to one whose head is
easily turned on a heightand as affording
a view equally good. The approach of a
carriage forced them to the walk. The
planks are a few inches higher than the
floor of the bridge, a fact overlooked by
Mrs. Grlroason. She was slightly behind
the others, and in stepping up rather sharp
ly her foot caught and she went head first
through one of the spaces in the railing.
Dr. Ramsey, jumping to the side of the ,
bridge, saw her clinging to one of the iron
bracings against which she had fallen in -her
descent. He shouted to her to hold on
and he would find aid at once. Her posi-;
tion was as secure as the situation would
admit ot She had fallen astride of the ' -
bar, and thus while ber strength and her
senses continued she had but to balance ;
herself to keep from falling. To the eye
witnesses of the scene, however, It was orte
of hopeless horror It seemed impossible- a
that assistance would reach her in time, as
the Is a woman of over sixty years, enfee
bled by age and by fright,
Hut she clung nrmly to a narrow Htripol
Iron, which watt all between her and the
howling river 170 feet below. How could ,
she preserve her consciousness t How she
aid retain it during the time taken up in
procuring ropes for her rescue she will
probably herself never be able to under
ttami. But if those minutes were fill of
unutterable terror to her, with what un
speakable horror, with what alternating
sensations of hope and despair, with what
emotion of anguish were they charged to
ber daughters! . .-, h - v?: ..
It was for them a day crowded into ten
minutes, but with the expiration of that
time came assistance.' Mr, Ramsay re
turned with ropes and assistants, one of
whom was the bridge policeman.
The ropes were quickly tied to,the bridge,
and the reverend delegate, as brave In dan
ger as faithful in his calling, ami young
and active. withal, .descended hafiorer
baud to the side of the imperiled woman. -A
rope paused about her body, under her -
arms aud securely fastened gave ample v
