woman.

that I^itour and Everett will visit the

it is Bennie's wedding day. Report
has it ttiat Edith is to marry Lord

"I felt some strange tnatfuetism.'' 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

“It seems so tome, Ddc, after all 1

you compromise your ideas of duty. 1

“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

“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!

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.

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

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.
