SLLNGS AND ARROWS By HUGH CONWAY. Axill?r of "Called Back," "Dark Day\" A ? ? "A Family Affair," Etc. CHAPTER VH. FACE TO FACE. The journey to St Seurin occupied more time than I anticipated. I reached Paris the next morning, and, without halting for rest, took the first train to Rennes. Prom Rennes I had to go to L'Orient, which I found was as far as the railway could carry me toward my destination. Rennes I reached in tho evening.. Here I was compelled to spend -the night,' there being no train to L'Orient until the next morning. The morning train was a pain fully slow one; It was not until late in the afternoon of the second day that I reached the fortified port on the Bay of Biscay. There I inquired as to the best way o{ getting to St Seurin. I found the place was nearly twenty miles away. A diligence which passed it left L'Orient every other morning at 10 o'clock. I must wait and go by that I chafed at the time which must elapse before I mot my enemy, and was on the point of ordering a carriage and horses to take me to St Seurin at once. But reflec tion told me that tho arrival of a traveler in such a way, at a village so small as I ascertained St Seurin to be, must excite cariosity. People would gossip, and the man whom I longed to meet might hear of my arrival, and ouco more fly and leave rxr> trace. So I curbed my impatience, staid tho night at L'Orient,*and started in the morning by the lumbering old diligence. Why is it, that when one is burning to reach a certain place, the sole available mode of progression seems not only the slowest but in many cases actually is the slowest that can well be hit upon. Those twenty miles, or their equivalent iu kilo metres, seemed longer than all the rest of the journey. True, the road was in many places ste:p, aud the heavy vehicle not ade quately hox sed; and very likely no one save myself was in a hurry. But the most wearisome journey ends at last A snail, if allowed time, will arrive at his goal Tho diligence reached St Seu rin, and as I dismounted in front of a mis v erable-looking little ian 1 cotld scarcely re press a cry of exultation,.'-Eustaca Grant was all but within my grasp. I entered the inn, where I was received with joyful faces. Guests were, no doubt few, and their visits far between. I asked if I could have accommodation, aud was as sured I could couut upon the best out of Paris. At another time this grandiloquent assertion would have amused me. Now nothing amused me, and I cared for noth ing so long as I could have food and drink and a place to lay my head until I had ac complished my mission. I dined, for I was beginning to feel the effects of the exhausting journey. Then I walked out and took stock of my surround ings. St Seurin was, as I had beeu informed, u small decaying village. Seme of the house; were picturesque In their way, !>ut many wore half in ruin--. There was a church, whose size was, of course, utterly disproporlioued to ihi Tillage. There were the shops necessary to supply the needs of tho scanty population. So far a? I could see, there was nothing olse. I struck my heol on the dusty, sandy path. Was it for a life in such a plao? as this that Viola had left me? Had she given up all the comforts and luxuries with which I "HrduTcT "lave sun'orunded her tolride with tho partner of her flight in a wretched bole where she could see no one save rough fishermen,, peasants, and such like? If so, her lova for Grant must bo more thon mor tal to Iring. about such a sacrifice of all that woman, from the time of Eve down ward, have been credited with longing after. These questions, aud the oidyanswer Icoukk give to them, did not improve the state of my mind. It was now growing dusk. I walked baok to the little inu, went to my room, and as'ted for lights and .coffee. A broad* faced, broad-shouldered Breton lass minis tered to my wants. I entered into con versation with her, and in .-pile of her patois managed to understand her. 1 asked about the place and the people. She shrugged her shoulders. Ah! but the place was decaying?going down?cone down. Once, the bad heard that people could live there and make money; but that was hundreds of years ago. Now, every one was poor as poor could be. Parents could not give their daughters dots?girls could not save them. Besides, many of the young meu went away. They went to L'Orient and became sailers. It was a rare thing for a girl to get married in St Seurin. Were there no visitors?no English, for instance?staying in the neighborhood? No ?yea. There was one monsieur?he was English. He lived at Pierre Boulay's farm ?the farm just over the sea cliff yonder; the bouse nearest to the soa. ,His name? Ahl she forgot those strange . names. He was tall and handsome. He had been here, off and on, many months. He was a heretic, but kind to poor people. What did bo do with himself in this deso late place? Ahl she knew not True, young Jean, old Pierre's son, said that the gentle man shut himself up for hours and hours, writing, aud the cure, who knew him, said he was a learned man. It was he! My journey had not been in vain. I longed to ask the girl if a lady lived with him, but I forced the question back. When I had finished with Eustace Grant I could then think of Viola. Where was ho to be found.' Was he at the farm now? She thought not. She had not seen him for some days. Most days be. came down the hill and walked along the coast?far, far along the coast If monsieur wished to meet with htm he would surely find him there. Yes, the coast was very fine. Sometimes artists came to paint it Perhaps monsieur was an artist? She glanced at me. No doubt my coming bad created curiosity. The question sug gested an excuse for my staying at such a place as St Seurin. Yes; she had guessed right I was an artist I had como to draw pictures of the coast She seemed pleased at having guessed tho nature of my occupation, and quickly loft me, no doubt to make her dis covery known to all who were interested in the matter. I needed her no longer. I had learned enough. -2tjxto seemed shapiug everything to my hand:. I had learned that Grant was al most within stone's throw; that nearly every day he took a solitary walk along the coast. It was on the coast far awayfrom fear of interruption, that I would arrange for our meeting to take place. All 1 now wished to guard against was a premature discovery of my presence. ^ The next morning I stepped out and ?Lcurveyed the scene uf action. Far, far jftway as eye could see was the stretch of |Kmooth yellow sand running from the edge V^>f the glorious sea to the tall, rugged H^iffs, in a break of which the tiny village rclimbed tho hill, and from tho top, look- j ing across the valley, could see the small farmhouse in which the object of my hatred i Eve?. Idared fi?t go hear to ft. I turned and regained tbe sea coast, and walked along under the cliff, picturing with savage rapture the moment when, utterly unsus pecting of our contiguity, Eustace Grant would find himself confronted by me, and called upon to reckon up the cost of his foul treachery. But that day, and other day?, passed with out my seeing a sign of him. I spent nearly all the hours of daylight on thi coast. Ae;ain and again I went through the scene which I had pictured. I stood a few races from him on a stretch of sand. I re proached him and exulted in the vengeance which I was about to take. I could see my self raise my right hand and fire. I could see the man fall lifeless. Over end over again during those weary hours of waiting I acted my part in this drama. I gloried in the thought that he was now famous; that life bold great prizes which his hands could grasp. He had cut short my dream of joy. I could do even more to him. I could kill him.when the ball of suc cess and ambition was at his feet. In the first'flush of his triumph he would find me waiting for him. Oh, it was well I had been tardy in my octal I could now take far more thau life from my foe! So day after day I sat or lay on the coast, full of such thoughts as thes3. Except when looking for my foe, I spent all my time in my otu room. Day after day went by, but we met not. I supposed him to be away from home. No matter. I could wait a month, a year, tea years. Had I not sweet thoughts " wherewith to while away the time? I madj no more inquiries about him. I was afraid ho might hear of them, and guess who wnatel him. I waited calmly and patiently. One morning I staid later than usual in my room. As I glanced through m2/ win dow, which looked upon the broalos; part of the dusty road running through the village I saw that St Seurin was in such festival guise as it could assume. Men, women and ch?dron were s*and ing about, dressed in holiday clothes. Then I romeni bered that tho girl who waited upon me had said something about to-day being a great festival of tho church. I had given little heed to her words. I watched the crowd for a few minutes, and presently saw a sight which, had my mood been happier, would have delighted ine. Girls and boys came, bearing tall wicker baskets full of leaves, pulled from various flowers und green shrubs. The sandy space in front of mo was cleared. A youug mau ran nimbly from point to point, tracing as ho went lines in the dust. Then, seizing the baskets one after another, he distributed their glow ing contents in such a way that in less than twenty minutes what looked like a carpet of a variegated pattern, formed of flowers, covered the dusty space. As he hastily threw tho last splash oi crimson rose leaves into its place the pro cession of priests, acolytes and choristers appeared. It paused on the fair carpet, and some ceremony, such as a blessing, was guuo through Every liat was doffed, evory knee was bent?all save, one. There, on 1 he out skirts of the crowd, with head uncovered, in deference to others, but standing eroct, I saw tho tall form of Eustace Grant He had returned I A thrill of.delight ran through mo as I gazed on tb.-i hated feature* of the man who had robbed me of ail I cared for. I drew back into the room, and watched him through my window. My timo bad como! Tho procession resumed it? march. Tha people followed it?mostlikely to the church. The space was all but deserted. The various hues of tho flower oarpot were now blended together without order or pattern. Grant, replaced his hat, crossed the road, and struck down a path which could only lead to the sea. I Jaughed as I saw him dfsappaar. With grim deliberation I threw open the barrels of my pistols and loaded them afresh. No lack of precaution on my part should aid the escape of ray enemy. Then I sat down and waited. I wanted htm to have a fair start, so that our meeting might take place as far up that deserted ocast as possible When I thought I had given him sufficient grace, I sallied forth in pursuit. I turned down to tho sea as he had turned. I rounded the foot of tho hill which sheltere 1 St Seu rin from the nor' wast winds, nnd then stood Qrith the unbroken cliff on my right hand and the sand stretching away in fr?nt of me for miles and miles. In tho distanco 1 could sec him?a white spot on the yellow sand. The heat was great so he ha* clothed himself in dazzling white garments. He was, perhaps, half a mile in front of me, walking near to the edge of the se:i. I quickened my steps, and rapidly dimin ished the distance- between us. I did not want to got so near that, if he turned, he might recognize me. I did not mean to overtako him, I meant to follow him until he turned to retrac? his steps; then, as soon as ho liked, he might dis cover me. My only fear was that some path up the cliff might, unknown to me, ex ist?a path which he might take, aud so go home across the table laud. Grant walkoi leisurely; so I was soon within 300 yards of him. I noticed that his heal was bent forward, as is natural to those who think as they walk. His hands were behind him, and he paced the coast with a slow but lengthy stride. Little he guessed who was upon his tracosl Suddenly ho turned aside, and struck up the beach toward the cliff. I stood still and watchol him. I saw him reach the top of the beach; then, as it were, disappear into tbe face of the cliff. I doubled my pace and hurried on, laughing in vengeful glee. I had him now! For by this time I knew' every foot of that coast line. I knew that at the spot where Grunt had vanished some convulsion of nature had torn ths rocks apart; that entering through what looked like a narrow fissur: you came upon n straight, smooth spue, bouDdel by un scalable crags, and carpeted by soft, white sand. Not a cave, because it wa< o;>en to the heaven*, but all the snm^ n natural cul de sac. I had found this place. I had explored it I had even longed that Eustace Grant might be in there, while I stood at the entrance, and held him like a rut in a trap. And now the thing I longed for had come to pa?<. Perhaps to escape from the heat of the sun my enemy had chosen tin one place in which I wished to meet him. I was right in saying that fate was shaping everything to my hand. Here I should fnce him, force him to fight, and slay him! I had him nowjt Strange to say, no thought of on issue adverse to myself entered my head. So confident, so oertaiu I felt, that 1 paused for a while at the eutrauce to tho trap and 6teeled my heart by recalliug all tho wrongs which I had suffere l. I stood there until the sun uiado tho barrel of the pistol, which I lrad drawn from my breast, as hot as fire. Then I crept between the two rocks, and went to reckon up with Eustace Grant! The change from the brilliant suushine to the cool gloom of tho grot or whatever it should be called, was so suddeu thut for a moment I could not distinguish ubjocts. When my eyes grew accustomed to the sluuie, I saw that Grant was lying on a heap of sand at the furth-.-st end of the ravine. His broad-brimmed hat was by hi< side, and ho so?me-l fast asleep. I crept toward hiux My fo?t made no sound as they trod on the soft dry sand. I stood over him and lookel down on bis powerful race, strong; sun bar:)',i neck, and large, mu-ciiiar limbs He lookel tue type of nun!, d. Ah! no He looked the type of nvtnliood. wonder he could win a woman's love if he strove for it A notebook la}' near his left hand. Most likely he had been jotting down something whicb struck his fancy, when the grateful shade and tha murmur of the distant sea had lullei him to sleep?asleep from which he would awake only to sleep again foreveri Nay, I might have placed the mnrzle of the pistol next his heart and have sent him, without awukeuiug. from one sleep to the other. But 1 had no intention of murder ing the man in cold blood; nor would it have suite 1 me for him to die without know ing to whom his d-iath was due. Besides, I meant it to tie a fair duel?a duel to the death?between us. So I stooped, aud laid one of my pistols near his right hand; then I walked back toward the mouth of the grot, leaned against a rock, and waited for him to awake. Not fur one moment do I attempt to dis guise the devilish, vengeful feelings which could urge me in this calm manner to plan and compass this man's death. Now that years have passed since that day, I do not even ask you to bear in mind tho wrong that had bean done me, I simply relate what I did, and shall not murmur at the blame which I know will be meted out tome. The ninn slept Kouudly. I waited; but no thought of foregoing ray purpose entered into my brain. I waited until the dread that we might be disturbel struck me. I had gloated over my promise 1 victim long enough Now let me act the crowning act I detached a loose morsel of rock and tossod it toward the sleeping man. It fell on his outstretched hand. He started, rose to a sitting posturo, rubbed his eyes; then, looking round, saw me, and knew why I was there. He saw the look of triumph and fell purpose on my face; he saw the pistol in my right baud; he sprang to his feet aud took a step toward me. I raised my band and covered him with the pistol. He must have looked almost down tho muzzle. "Stand still," I said, "or I fire!" The bravest man may well hesitate ere he rushes on certain death. Eustace Grant stopped short My voice, my look, must have told him that my threat was no idlo one. The steadiness of my hand told him that "^should not miss my mark, ? "You have eomn to murder mef he said, in a deep voice. "No; to kill you, not murder you. Look on th- ground behind you; take the pistol which lies there; tbon wo are equal. Tako it, I say, and face mo like a man. Fire whou and how you choose; I can wait my tura." He turu'xl and saw the pistol, but did noi possess uimselt of it Hj faced me steadily, ad though my weapon was still aim*! at bis broud bris ist Deadly as my hate was, I was fain to admire bis courage. "I think you are mad,': he said; "but listeu, I have something to say." I stamp.*! my foot. "Coward! villain! take that pistol, or I swear I will shoot you as you stand 1" He stooped and picked up the weapon. A wave of fierce delight ran through me. The moment of reckoning was at band. Yet he balked nie. He held up hfs hand and fired both barrels in the air. I uttered a ?.ry of rage. *"You are a man of honor, I suppose?" ho said. "You cannot slay a defenseless man." Itbrust my lo?t hand into my pocket and threw a handful of cartridges to wan 1 him. Ho should not o-cape me. He hurled the pistol from him far over the top of the rock. My hope of killing him Iu fair fight was gouj. I gritted my teeth, and swore that nevertheless he should not escape. "Coward f" I shouted, with my linger trembling on the trigger. He was hold, for he still stood erect and faced me. His fuoa grew pale. No wonder, for death was close at band. He spoke; his voice was cl-ar and distinct "Listen," he said, "one moment before you stain your soul with this crime. Viola, your wile-" He said no more. The sound of her name roused in me a burst of mad fury; all my enforced calm left me. "Silence, vou hound!" I shouted. Grant must have seen the change in my face, and guessed what it presaged. Doubt less life was dear, very dear to him. He sprang toward me. My finger pressed tho trigger, and the report rang out My hand as I fired was steady as a rock, and before I saw the effect of my bullet I kue w that it had done its work. The smoke cleared oft Grant was stag-, gering to and fro. His hand was pressed to bis right breast, and the red blood was creeping through his closed fingers and dye ing his pure white coat Suddenly he fell, and lay like a log at my feet The thing which I had for nights and days sighed for had come to pass. But not with tho effect I had pictured. Instead of the exulation which I had prom ised myself, a title of utter horror swept through me. One, only one, thought filled my brain?I had taken this man's life, and was a murderer. TO ?E CONTINUED. VRA\GKBIK<; Ice Cream Saloon T17HERE CAN BE FOUND.
