Tho horror which bo could not shako off ennured him berond measure. Gathering fresh energy, ho renewed tho assault with desperate steadiness, tho-highest product of absolutely-molted fury. Father Bcrot felt the dangnrou ac cess of ttowor In his antagonist's arm nd knew that a crtslu had arrived. Do eauld not bo careless now. Iloro was a swordsman of tho host school calling upon him for nil the skill and strength and cunning that ho could command. Again tho saintly element was near being thrown aside by tho wbrldly In tho old man's breast. Alice lying' thcro seemed mutely demowaiiic that ho uvohgo her. A riotous sonw thing In his blood clamored for n quick and certain net in thbf drama by tnotfnllght; a tragic closo by n stroko of terrlblo yet perfectly fitting Justice. Tbero was but tho space of a breath for tho conflict In tho priest's heurt, yet during that llttlo Umo ho reasoned thd case nnd quoted Scripturo to him self.

A wrench and a snip, as of ammtlilng vloleutly Jerked trow a tautening, wore follows! by a semicircular (light or Hamilton' rapier ovor latlwr Ueref bead to stick In tho ground ton feet behind him.

'your won! oh a Hrlltah olllcurr Hiimllton again stiffened and hesi tated, but only for the briefest space, then said: "Yen, my word as n British officer." Father Beret waved his hand with hnpatlencL'. "Oo, then, back to your place In the fort, and disturb my people no more. Tin soul of this poor llttlo girl will haunt you forever. Go!" Hamilton stood n little while eazlng st 'he face of Alice with tho horrible wlstfiilneas of remorse. Whnt would lie not liar given to nib hta eyes and find It all a drentn? He turned away, a cloud scudded acroM tho moon, here nnd yonder In the dim town cocks crowed with a Ioni. rome, desultory effect. Father Beret pltickod up the rnplef tliat he had wrenched from Hamilton's band. It suggested something. "Holdl" ho called out. "Give me tho scabbard of this sword." Hamilton, who was striding vljror otnly In the direction of tho fort, turned about as the priest hastened to him. "GIvp me the scabbard Qf this rnplei. I want It. Toko It off." 'Stirrcwcr or did" Tho command was not gentle voiced. A hoarso half whUpor winged over word with nn Imperious threat. Hamilton obeyed. Ills hands were not llnu. His Nugent fumbled nervous ly, but be hurried, and Father Beret soon had tho rapier sheathed and no our! at his belt beside Its miito. A gool and true priest Is a bunion bearer. His motto la, Altor nlttirlin onora portato (Boar yo one auotlier'i burdens), His aoul Is uurlched with tho castoff sorruwH of those whom ho relieves. Father Bcrut scarcely felt the weight of Alice's body when ho lifted it from tho ground, bo heavy wus the pressure of his grief. All that her death meant, not only to htm, but to every person who knew her, enmo Into his heart as tho place of refugo con serrated for thu ludwelllug of pain. Ha lifted her and Imre ber aa far toward ItouMslllon phu'e as ho could, but his strength fell short Just In faint of tho little Bourelur cottage, and, half dead, he staggered acrom the veranda to the ikxir, where be sank exhausted, After a breathing spell ho knocked.

"Now I nm sure to get What I de servo, with usury nt -10 per cont In ad vance," said Farnsworlli dryly, shrug ging bis shoulders with undlssoinbled dread of Ilumllton'a wratli. But the anticipation was not realized. The governor received Farnsworth HtllUy enough, yet In u way that HUggested n suppressed desire to avoid explana tions on the captain's part and a repri mand on his own. Alice's while face had Impressed Itself Indelibly on his memory, so that It mot his Inner vision nt every turn. He was nfrald to con verso with Farnsworth lest sho should como up for discussion; consequently their Interview was curt nnd formal. It was soon discovered thnt Alice had escaped from the stockade, nnd some how of search was made for her by Hamilton's order, but Farnsworth looked lo It that the order was not carried out. He thought he saw nt once that his chief knew where she was. Hamilton's uneasiness, which wns that of a strong, inlsifiilded nattiro try ing to Justify Itself mild a confusion of unmaiiDgimlili' il'iu'ds nnd misgiv ings, now vented Itself In n resumption of tho repairs he hud beon limiting nt certain points In the fort.
