They both admire Bennie Standisii and her chum, Edith Van d -r Hnysen, a some what cold but very brilliant society woman. Chapter 3 —A telegram announces that I^itour and Everett will visit the Standishes. They do not know that it is Bennie's wedding day. Report has it ttiat Edith is to marry Lord Martindale, an Englishman. Chapter 4.—Latour and Everett arrive.

Ev erett broke in. “when you startled my mare last Sunday, though I could not analyze it. Ah. you dear old fellow!' Hie strong arm crossed the other's shoul der ns the two men sat ou a low bench under a flowering orange tree. "It seem* too good to ho true. Adrien, to have you hack again.'' “It seems so tome, Ddc, after all 1 have heeu through. Bat 1 must not let you compromise your ideas of duty. 1 am still a rebel. 1 believe I am dogged by spies. If 1 am recognized, presto! your provost mar-dial!" “Nonsense! The war is over,” Everett answered cheerily. “You are perfectly safe to return to madamo and the old homo. Not as my friend, but as my late foe, 1 offer yon unconditional parole.” “Yon cannot understand my feelings," the other said sadly, turning his face , aside. “As victor you can afford to be generous. But Dale. I fled to Mexico because I would not take the oath to the government that had beaten me. We made the election of ordeal by combat, aud I accept tiie verdict in honor and in candor. But I cannot take the oath.” “No argument need ever come be tween you aud me,” Everett answered frankly. “I think 1 understand your feelings; I certainly respect them. You need take no oath. Your simple parole is all that shall be asked.” The Creole again shook his head sadly. "I cannot as!; protection of the govern ment I tried to overturn," ho replied. "Tomorrow at dawn a smuggler slijw out for Cuba. While the bells call you to church I shall Ire on my way to volun tary exile.” “Bat, Adrien, this is folly.” “Very like,” Latour answered, with something of his old smile. “I always did talk wisdom and act folly. But, dear old boy, 1 cannot do it. Better en ter some foreign service, where my sword can buy me place.” “This is mawkish sentiment,” Everett replied seriously. “It is neither reason able nor manly. Besides, remember your words to mo before you resigned—that our old school did not educate Hessians! member': 1 Yet you w ill sell to some cause where your purely from bitterness and piiiue!” “You wrong me, Dale,” the other an swered gently. “I have no pique, and 1 know tiie true soldier accepts the turn of battle. Ciod knows there is no bitter ness in my heart for those who fought for what they bedieved the right! I honor them all—love as well as ever those 1 loved before.” “And can yon imagine we respect yon less w-ho took up anus believing you were right?” “I do not,” Latour answered frankly. "You could not. Had I dreamed that would I liave risked this dress, however I had yearned to take your hand before I sailed? No, no! Politicians can break up governments. Dale, but not friend- shi[)s like ours.” “Then why leave your country?" Again the Creole turned away his face, though ho held firmly tho hand in his. “I have no country now," ho answered firmly. "It is not your fault, but the iron heel grinds npon us all. God alone knows when it may bo lifted—what may be loft when it shall be! Ah, Dale, you remember the German’s poem, ’None but the freeman hath a fatherland!’" “You are tho samo old Adrien,” Dale answered regretfully: “gentle as a wo man in your loves, obstinate as a broncho in going your own way; but what of your life all these years?" Then, under tho oranges whose per fume struggled with the sweet olive for the mastery, each told his story; and a* they talked, heedless of time, the moon rose, bright as daylight, and frolic songs of maskers were borne to them on the soft night wind. At length, after a pause, Dale Everett laid his hand on his marry hint, but wbicho er one needs they will remain friends. f-’KAl" Kiv 5.—Dale tells Bennie lie loves her and she tells him that she is to marry Beverly Mason, finally con fessing that she loves Jsitour, but binding Dale on his honor not to tell him. j friend’s shoulder, his voice softening as he asked: “And in all these years have yon never loved again?” Latonr sprung to his feet, took a rapid turn under tho trees, then turned and stopped in tho deep shadow.

PART U-CHAPTER VL ORDEAL BY COMBAT. "kx-rx. ^ JfZCS;. Juxt us the terrified teaman fell bctxccen them la a dead faint. The crowds of maskers were thinning »s a L-ill figure in gray domino paused at the gate of a brick walled garden. Put- blue” “Stop! You are not speaking honest ly.” Everett’s voice was cold and stern. “I still believe the brother of my boy hood a truo man, and such do not forget lightly.” There was a long pause. Thought in tho brain of each peopled the silence with memoried shapes too fast to admit it words. Everett spoke first—hurried ly, as though tho words cost him au ef fort and ho would be rid of them: “Adrien, Beverly Mason died four years ago—a singular death, on tho an niversary of his wedding day almost to the hour. He was found in his chair, a candle lighted on the desk by his side and a charred paper on the salver by it. Heart trouble, the doctors said.” The silence was unbroken and he went on slowly, “One tiny scrap only of that pa- Der was unconsnmed. and. Adrien, that scrap bore your name;' The Creole still stood silent, but his thin lips cloeed tighter under his mu*- tache. and the haggard look on his dark face sorted but ill with the mountebank garb. At last ho spoke calmly, but with great effort: “Dale, if you value our friendship nev er speak of this again. That woman's name has been blotted from my brain since the night she sold herself! It shall never cross my lips again, so help me God!” He raised his hand in the moonlight as Everett turned away and cried; “How she sold herself yon have never dreamed!” Then silence again fell bet ween them. Adrien's face was dark and set. Over Dale Everett's emotions played and flick ered like clouds acmes the moon's, tem pering, not hiding, the great light of ting"hUpasskeyTn'the lo3ThegtaJd *•»» W hia f ™ nJ “ he up the street, waiting the approach of a 1 j Pierrot. Tho latter came up, with none of the frolic mien his garb suggested, and waited to be questioned. “It seems you rather exceed the license of the carnival,” the domino said quiet ly. “This is the third time you have thrown yourself in my way, and now yon dog me home. Do yen know me?” “Beyond a doubt,” the Pierrot an swered, in the sqneak of bis character. ‘‘You are the Federal Gen. Everett" With a gesture of impatience Dale threw off his disguise. “Yon seek me,” he said shortly. "What is your business?” “Admit me into your garden and you sluill have it You are afraid of noth ing,” he added, as Everett hesitated, “hot I may add that the danger is only to myself.” Everett threw open the little gate, stooped to fasten the latch inside, as he raised his eyes the dark, pupils of Adrien Latour them. “Dale!” each now?" At length Latour turned and asked, not in raillery, but in interest “And—yon?" “I have and do," Dale answered. “No, do not start; I am not married. But one woman is far more to me than wife coaid ever be! 1 am true to her as though the sacrament had made ns one; my highest happiness to make her the pride, the envy of all otlier women!” “Yon!" The Creole stared at his friend. "You waste your life for a wo man!" “No, not waste it.” Everett answered gently. "But I do all this—for lover* There was silence. Busy thought in Everett's brtin was again shadowing the face he raised to tho moonlight. La-' tour kept his bent in the shadow of the orange tree. Suddenly Dale started up, mattering There is one way only!" A !■» a _ - a.-- ..WTT.iA.SW “Ton shall see my ex- “Evou that may fail, bat it is the oaly hope.” Left alone Latonr paced the gardes, laughing bitterly to himself. “He. too! Dale Everett the plaything of a woman r he thought aloud. “And bled so. too! Well, wo are all fools for them, each in his own way! I am bi.ler enough, God knows! yet I can never part with this!” He drew from his breast a woman's glove, white once, and delicate, but soil ed and worn now. Dropping heavily ujiou the bench he looked upon the glove long aud dreamily. The hard glint faded out of his eyes; tho better nature lit them softly as he murmured: “bix years ago I stole this from her weddiug! Aud through toil and danger and death this toy has lain on my heart! Even now it wipes out all between and carries me back to the cottage on the river—before she liod at the altar and I lied when I cursed her!” Tho proud head uroojied in deep and motionless reverie, tho little glove still held iu the battle browned but delicate hand. So deep wns the man'* thought that he heard nothing of an opening door on the gallery behind him, of a woman’s step upon the walk, or the rustling of her traiu on tiie fallen orange leaves. He did not even hear her laugh, so low and musical it almost seemed to melt into umonlight, as she regarded him, around tho tree against which he leaned. Developed in the fullest splendor of womanhood, she was still lithe and graceful enough for girlhood, the per fect neck aud rounded arms glittering with diamonds, and the whole toilet—a Pompadour costume—combining costli ness and taste. A satin half mask, with lace fall, hid the face, but through it two bright eyes peered curiously at the dress of the figure before her, half hid den in the shadow. Then she advanced on tiptoe, saying to herself: “So this is onr general's excuse for delay! I must be hours late at the balls, while ho pluys mountebank among the people. Di done, Monsieur Pierrot!" | She spoke the last words aloud, and again laughed softly; but Adrien Latour did not look up. He s-tarted vaguely, as though tho laugh were an echo of his own memories, now far away by the fast rolling river of the north. She laughed again softly behind her mask. “Come, Dale,” she said, “give me credit, and I’ll offer two pennies for the thoughts— Merciful heaven!” The rieli satin draperies crumpled back against the tree, and the little hands clinched tightly over tho Leaving bust. For, at tho first words be heard, tiie Creole hud stooped forward, thrust tho soiled glove iuto his breast, and then turned full to tho speaker. Now he looked with half sorrowful, half envious air upon the startled, palpitating form before him. “So this is Dale's expensive toy!” he muttered. “Truly he pays well for it in silks and diamonds! Confound they. Jo! I'm sorry she caught me mooning, though. 1 wonder if she saw.” In a husky voice, forced out of her in half gasps, the woman answered his thought iu two words: “That glove!” Hardly recking to what manner of woman he spoke, aud more in mockery of himself than of her. Latour replied: “The glove? Oh. that is only a souvenir of one man’s idiocy, of one woman's sin. long years ago.” “Where?" Tiie woman’s voice w:is lower than before. “Where you have never been, pretty Creole.” he answered, all the lightness in the words, none in tiie voice. "On the cold banks of a northern river, where one woman’s one act killed the future of two men aud her own honor us well!" A quick gesture tore away the satin mask, and Bennie blandish raised her head haughtily to the sjieakor. There was small reminder of the jiert girl of the past iu that proud pose of head and ; stern compression of lip; and the man, never changing his attitnde of easy grace, gazed at her with a dumb horror freez ing his eyes. Then out of his face fell every drop of blood, leaving it blanched and sallow. But its lines grew hard, and the blood less lips set in a straight cruel line. Still he moved no muscle; only the eyes di lated and glowed with evil fire. Equally motionless was the woman: but she regarded him haK iu sorrow, half iu auger. When at last she spoke the voice had only coldness in it, neither menace nor entreaty. "Adrien Latour, the last time you saw that woman it was to insult her. Do not let six years’ malice prompt yon now to slander her!” “Slander—you! How could I?" There was infinity of scorn in the man’s tone, but even through that struggled sur prise. Bennie blandish advanced one step toward him. “Those days were so long ago,” she said more gently. “Even then yon never dreamed all 1 suffered. Since, we j both have suffered more. Let ns for- I give at least, even if neither can for- 1 get.” She held out tho dainty, diamond cov ered hand. He seemed not to see it, yet | the flash of the moonlight ou the stones made him shudder. “Oh, God!” he groaned, in bitterness of sonl, “this cursed war has passed over our country liko a blight. It has dried up the springs of honor in men, poisoned tiie founts of purity iu wo- 1 men!" j Then, as though in mockery of the strong man’s agony, a snatch of merry song, with glad refrain of laughter. ! broke on the night air, floating to those j two under the orange trees. If Latour heard it his face underwent no change. But a flood of pitying mem ories swept over tho woman's, leaving it | very gentle, as she said: “Have time and memory made you only more bitter?” “Bitter? I am scarcely just!” he said, in a dry, hard voice, more to himself than in reply to her. For a second he looked full in her eyes, his own glinting ; with cruel, steely glitter. Through set teeth, with effort to speak calmly, he allied: “That day i told you that you sold yourself. It was only your body then; now it is body and soul!” For some seconds the woman stared at , him in dumb wonderment. Suddenly she recoiled as if he had struck her with his fist; surprise, horror and contempt sweeping over her fsce. She dropped her eyes, but held out her hands to him, entreating piteously: “Adrien, you must hear" He broke in almost brutally. “Go! Go at once!” he cried hoarsely, "or yon will forco me to do what I never feared before—insult a woman!” There was no mistaking the tone, even had the mere words been less plain. In stantly her face changed. The hard, proud look rose to it and set there. Without another glance at him Adrien Latour’s old love turned her back npon him and. drawing her rich laces about her, passed under the orange trees out of his sight And again the mocking maskers' cho rus, ringing out npon the night, was ' t Vi. | •Fallen! and through himr For minutes, that might have been hours for aught he kuew. the still moon light flooded the motionless figure. Then the street gate opened again, and Dale Everett, followed by his two , aids, re-entered the garden. Passing straight to Latour he dropped his hand upon his shoulder as he began: "1 just missed her. Arnold says site” At the touch the Creole had sprung to his feet, his face full iu the moonlight. | Something in that face cut off speech ;« a thunderclap might. It was maibio calm, but the set lips and the ugly gleam in tho eyes tie-re was no mistaking. The cold steel ring in the voice nullified the . excess of courtly polisli in manner, ms Latonr said: "Pardon! but you have been at too much pains to umfise me. And truly your uew carnival does show strange sights?' “V/hat do you mean?' Dale asked won- 1 dering. “It unmasks characters, while it masks faces," the other went ou coldly. "It teaches that in your service, Gen. Ever ett, a man may rise to his brigade and yet bo a—scoundrel!” The quietly whispered word fell so distinct and clear that Everett recoiled as though he had stung him. “You say—that!” he exclaimed in sur prise, almost breathless. The Creole drew one step nearer. An ugly smile twisted his lips, that scarcely moved, as be whispered: “You shall fight me—here—now! 1 have used one word; do not force me to use another—coward!” For a single instant Everett's right hand clinched, lus arm half raised, as his brow grew black and knotted. The next, tho arm foil, tho hand unclosed; but the teeth were set through which he forced tho words: “Had another spoken either word. 1 had stretched him there! From the brothel of my boyhood I must better understand” “Do yon understand—that?” With tiie quickness of light. Adrien had drawn the torn glove from his breast and passed it sharply over the other's face. But, vivid as was tho motion. Dale had seized his wrist in a grip of steel and held it inotionlccs. While one might count five seconds no sound, no movement, was made. Then Everett softly loosened his grasp and dropped his hands. Ills face bore no trace of anger, his voice only a solemn pity, as he : aid: “Adrien Latonr, you have put hhx>d between us. Why, God alono can toil. May he pardon you iu your madness!'' Dale Lverctt had no bigotry. As n wldier he t..,cd the ts ' lirr's Y.v tpon, and if he condemned he followed the tenet of the school he was reared in. Five minutes sufficed for pr paration. Neither the general's humor nor his rank brooked question. The two aids acted as seconds; their sabers went into the opponents’ 1 lands. “Capt. Aruold, vou will act for Gen. Latour," Dale had said, as calmly as if he gave the aid an order to form parade. “We prefer this matter kept absolutely private. Should I chance to be hurt, remember, Gen. Latonr is to be passed by yon, masked, by all sentinels. We are ready." While he spoke Everett had thrown off his uniform coat aud vest and cast his hat on tho ground. Baring las arm above the elbow, he took his saber frem tho young captain and stood still. Latour tore off his mountebank’s jacket, stripped the sleeve of his army shirt from a brown, sinewy arm, and took bis sword from Arnold. Then, in tho culm moonlight sifted through tho oranges, the friends of boy hood looked into each other’s eyes as men look when they kill. Tno even skill, that years gone had been the wonder of West Point, was now to have its deadly test. Tho sabers crossed, shivered the moonlight into silvery spray, from feint and thrust and parry. And the giddy song of the maskers, nearer and more gay, swelled in the chorus of a wild scream, ns Bennie Standisii flew from the distant shadows toward the combat ants. At the same instant, Everett's saber- made by contract for other work than tliis—shivered at the hilt, flying ten yards away. Before the fragment touched the ground, the Creole liad stepped back one pace and grounded his point, just as the terrified woman fell between them in a dead faint. For an instant Latour stood like a statue. Then ho raid to Capt. Arnold: “The general docs not demand another sword. His life is his. Please say to your commander, captain, that if ho de sires to have tiie rebel arrested he must do so before the dawn. For your service to me, thanks!" Dale answered nothing—seemed to hear nothing. Ho was bending over the prostrate woman as tenderly as though no deadly combat had ever known him. With a courteous sJute to tho young captains Adrien Latour put on his hid eous mask and passed from the garden iuto the shadows of the street. (To be continued.)
