CHAPTER III Continued Conrenllng himself behind tha bole of a tree, Jeema watched them n they paaaed, ao near that a peliMe flung by a hoof of one of tha honiea fell at his aldo. Ills cotirnce almost failed hi in then, fur while his bunds clenched at tht alght of I'aul Tn he, his henrt fnl tered In Its beating as his attention turned fmio his enemy to Tolnette. Kha had become, all at once, a young lady whom ha could eaxlly believe he had never anon before, and the change In bar held him for a few moments so forgetful of his own exlatenrt that ha would have been discovered had one of the three happened to glnnra In his direction. Tolnette wna wearing her first riding suit, a gorgeous blue camlet trimmed with silver, Just r rlvad from Quebec, With this she wore a smartly cocked beaver hut which bore a radish feather, and from under this hat her long dark hair fell In a cascade of carefully made curls, partly restrained to thnlr freedom by two or three red rlhbona enmeiihed among them. She was superbly aware of the lovely figure she made, and every Inch of her body waa at dig- nlflad tension aa aha rode pant the place where Jaerr.4 wna hidden. After she had gone, Jeema felt an overwhelming mnsa of littleness snd unimportance. For Tolnette was na longer Tolnette, but a real prtneeis, grown up. And I'aul Tnche, riding close heolde her, with hair powdered and tied and with a red velvet ennt that could be seen a mile away, seemed I now to ba Infinitely removed from the ' plottlngs which he had conceived i against him. lie stepped from behind I the tree and stooped to pick up the pebble which Tolnette' borne hnd 1 flung at hi in. lie could henr the auc tioneer's voice, and other bidding for Lussan's properties. ' Then came a burst of Isuchter which roue with un- I restrained ahnndon above all other j sound, a blunt of merriment which he would have recognUed anywhere In the world. Only his Uncle llepalhah could laiiKh like that Tho sights and excitements of the scene about him would have made for him one of the most thrilling events of his forest rimmed world, had his heart not been choked with the emotions of Impend ing drama. Yet he did at press his dealrea by nndue haste, and It was half an hour before ha found hlmaelf close to the one who occupied his thoughts. This happened In such a fortuitous wsy thst Tolnette, con cealed by the ample forms of I.ussan'i wife and daiiKhter, was within a foot of his shoulder before ho knew It. fche did not see him, and he stood with wildly beating heart, breathing the faint perfume from her person, his senses dnr.ed by the nearness of her splendor and his world of rlslon filled only with a great brond brimmed lint, an enravlshliig mass of ItiMcoii curls, suiiNet of crimson ribbon, a piilr of Mm shoulders and then, his pnrn dlse broken by the ugliness of reality, he discovered Paul Tuche. The young mnn was returning from a Journey to the barrels, and, when he snw Jeems, a contemptuous smile twisted his lips. It was this look which turned Tolnette o that she found Jeems standing be (ride her, his enp and pnckiiKe In his hands, hla face tensely set as he fought himself Into obliviousness of his rlvnl's presence. He held out his gift to her. "My ITncle Hepslbuh hna just come from the Kiiglinh colonies, nnd he brought me this that I might In turn give It to you. Will you accept It, Tolnette?" lie forgot Tan! Tnche. Spots of red ramo Into his cheeks ns Tolnelte's sur prised eyes greeted him. She almost smiled, and as If something miiilo her forgetful of her niiiKiilflcenco nnd the dignity It Imposed, she extended her hnnd to receive the piiekiige. Tho milliner In which sho accepted hla gift sent the blood rnclng through his body. The color deepened In her cheeks, and, mistaking this for still greater evidence of the pleasurable thrill ha hud given hfr, Jeems was sure she was about to tlnink him for tils gift, when I'uul stood beside them. Ignoring Jcrms, Tolnette' cousin led her away, politely relieving her of the pncknge as they went. It was then Tolnette turned to smile at Jeems, In spite of the eyes she knew were watch ing her. In this snme moment her escort allowed the packnge to drop surreptitiously from his hand. This net, Inspired by a contempt for the forest boy, and urged by a meeoncsi of spirit hidden under a die sis r of wealth and Una clothes, iweot Jeems thought from Tolnette, whose nenrness of person, surprising beituty and sweetness of disposition had nl most made htm forget his one renson for being at Luwoin's sale. This weiik liens In tha armor of his Intentions was scaled When he saw his present full to the ground. Tolnette became Instantly Immiiterlul In the path of a stortn of emotion which caught and held him fiercely. lie saw only one person where there were two, and that one was I'aul Tache. In a brnln white with heat, and In eyes blinded to the presence of all living forms ex cept that of the youth who hnd dark ened hla mind with bitterness, Tolnette ceased to exist for him, and when he sprang forward to recover the bundle, It waa not with the thought that he waa rescuing It for her, but that It waa to be his reason for glorious war when the moment was at hnnd for him to hurl It In his rival's face. Detaching themselves from the shift Ing groups of which they hnd been a part, Tolnette and young Tache trolled to their horses, knowing that many glances followed their elegant departure. Giving themselves a brief time In which to ba admired, they auntered Into tha gardens back of Lussan's house. Jeems was only a few steps from I'aul and Tolnette when they disap peared behind the house. He held bark with a feeling of satisfaction when Ha Had Ntvsr Fought With An other Boy. he saw the two going down a path which took them out of sight of any curious eyes thst might have watched them. Not until the last flutter of Tolnette's skirt waa gone did he pro ceed with tha buslnesa of following them, and then, like an Indian, he slipped noiselessly along the path and found them standing, somewhat per plexed, at the edge of a soggy and ill smelling open space where Lussan had built his bam and wherein his cattle and pigs had gathered for so long that one waa sure of a precarious and un pleasant footing. Tolnette, her chin t'.lted, flush of Indignation In her eyea as she held up her skirt, with both hands, was on the point of loo. Ing her w rath upon her escort for dur ing to bring her to such a place of de filement when Jeema Btepped out from a rlin of bushes and confronted them. Ills face was pule. His slim body wna as tnut as a bowstring. Ills eyes were almost black. He did not see Tolnette, scarcely knew thnt she was In bis world, even as her anger gave, place to an exclnmntton of surprise when she saw in his hand the packnge which he hnd given her a few minutes before. He approached I'aul Tache, and that youth, misinterpreting the slowness of his movement and the bloodless pallor of his face as signs of embarrassment and feur, sought to cover his dlsgruce In Tolnette's eyea by an explosion of haughty protest at being followed and spied upon In this way. Jeems made no reply except to hold out the pucknge. Sight of It choked the words In the other's throat. Jeems' silence and the way In which he continued' to extend the pnckiitie brought a deep color Into l'uiil's fuce. He nnd not Jeems was conscious of the amazement In Tolnette's counten ance and of the Intensity of her In terest In the situation. He recovered himself swiftly and, with a guileful chnnge of munner, held out his hnnd. "I'ardop he," he apologized. "It Is good of you to bring the package which I accldentnlly dropped." Jeems cume a step nearer. "Vou lie I" ha cried, and with a furious movement he hurled the bun dle at Tnche'g face. The force of the blow sent Timl reeling backward, nnd Jeems was at him with the quickness and passion of one suddenly transformed by mad ness. He had never fought with an other boy. Hut he knew how niilmalsj clawed nnd disemboweled. In a hun dred ways he had viewed strife and death aa the wilderness knew these things. And all that he hud wit nessed, all that he knew of torture and violence and the desire to malm nnd kilt gave to hla action a character mm WN'U Sirvlca. waatsssaas of such lively ferocity thut It drew a howl of pain from I'uul Tache and a shrill little scream from Tolnette. Jeems henrd the scream, but It held no significance for him now. Ills dreams were gone, and Tolnette, her presence close to him, her eyes upon the buttle jutt ns he had Imagined In the thrill of his menial vlKlonlngs wo forgotten in the more vital depths of his Interest In the flesh and blood of Paul. In the first attack, his An gers clutched like small Iron claws In the folds of Tuche's cravat and coat, and the rending of cloth, a splitting asunder of gorgeous material almost to the other's waist, was evidence of the strength behind his assault He followed this with a fury of scratch ing end tearing and both went down In the melee. When they rose, Paul heaving himself up with an effort which flung Jeems from hi in, they were such a sight of muck and stain thnt .Tolnette forgot her precious dress and covered her eyes In horror. Hut she was looking again In un In stant, for the spectacle fuscinnted even as It appalled hf, Jeems had landed on his feet with a fist loaded with mud, and this he projected with an aim so accurate that half of I'mil's face was obliterated by It, and as ha leapt with a roar of rage at his smaller assailant, he was such a shock ing contrast to his usual Immaculate elf that Tolnette nearly ceased to breathe. Then she saw and heard what her feminine eyes and Instincts could not understand or keep proper count of, a mad twisting and tumbling of bodies, panting breaths, grunts, and 1 A no II m a fllan 1 V at it I i Ykl A 4M f A tsrvt, S iiumij aa vi'ui i iu'mi" vumn iiuiu I'aul Tache. With that aound Jeema flew backward and landed on bis back. He was op almost before he bad struck, and with his hesd ducked low like a ram's In a chsrge, he hurled himself at Tache. This Individual, having cleared hla eyes sufficiently to perceive the blindness of the other's rush, stepped aside and swung a well directed blow which again sent Jeems down Into the muck. His hand filled Itself with this sticky substance a sec ond time, and as he returned to battle be let It fly at Paul. Profiting by ex perience, Paul dodged skillfully, and the volley passed over hla bead, spreading tn Its flight, and full In Its contaminating virulence upon Tolnette. She saw her raiment spotted and de filed, and such a sudden fury rose In her that she sprang upon Jeems as he clawed and kicked In a clinch with Paul, and axsalled him with all the strength and bitterness of her small fists and biting tongue. Jeems had seen the tragedy of tha misdirected mud, and he knew that Tolnette's bunds and not Paul's were pulling viciously at his hair. There Is a hurt which bears with It a sting of satisfaction, and this emotion pressed upon Jeems as he fought desperately In front and felt himself attacked treacherously from behind. For Paul was accountable for the mishap to Tolnette. Had the other not dodged In a cowardly fashion, allowing the stuff to pass on to her, the thing would cot have happened It did not take more than a few seconds for the inspiration of this thought with Its ap parent Justice and truth to fire him with a determination beside which his former resolution sank to Insignifi cance. He wos m longer lighting for Tolnette's approval, but against her, against Paul Tache, against all the world, , Tolnette, pulling at his hair. biyitiug at his back,' had raised his struggle to epic heights. The strength of martyrdom filled bis lean arms and body, and he fought with a renewed fierceness that made his heavier but aofter antagonist give way before the punishment, and both went down to earth again. Tolnette fell with them, her long skirt Impeding the activity of their legs, her big hat hanging like a sunshade over her face, her beauti fully made curls tangled nnd spotted with mud. her hands beating angrily at whichever of the two chanced to como in her way. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Thoa Happy Victorians One entry in the diary of Mary Gladstone (afterward Mrs. Drew). daughter of W. E.
