It might have been a gorge of the lost eouls in the Inferno. Me lurid glare of a few torches Which were etreck at iutervals against the pillars re- vealed the forms of men sitting and lying ma tlae seats and floor in every ettitudo of de- jection and despair. Up and down the elates the iron -shod heels of the sentries rang upon the pavement. The greater part of theprisonere were snout, or only moan- ing with the pain of recent wounds; some were praying; one WAS raving, mad with terror, And tn truth, he and his companions had good mem for fear, for their conqueror was Feversham the general of the Royal- ists, whose only mode of dealing with a rebel was to hang or shoot him without more ado, and who was only waiting for the daybreak to begin the work of ela,ughter. A few only kept their react. lution—arn'ong them two who were sitting together in the ehadow of the pulpit steps. Both these men had been conspicuous in the fight, and both knew well that they must die at daybreak. The elder of the two was a man a abmit 35, with powerful, thick -set frame, and strong and legged features ; a bad man to have against one, one might say. He was by trade a horse -breaker, and a great part of his basiness was to break in the wild colts of the marsh. HIS companion was some oreighteight years younger. His figure was tall and slight but finely made and his face wee singulerly. handsome He was the swiftest runner in the West of England, perhaps in the whole kingdom. His name was David. Dare; that of the elder mardwas John Quixarvyn. Both were natives of the town of Abridge, bet, until the day before, they bad been strangers to each other. Chance had made them •comrades in the contest, where they had fought side by side, and where the same troop of Royalists seized them both. The two were silent. Quixarvyn had pulled out a. short black pipe, had filled and lighted it, and was now smoking tranquilly. His companion had ,also pulled out some- thing from his breast, but it was non a pipe —it was the portrait of a beautiful young girl. He took a long look at the lovely face —a look which said farewell. Quixarvyn watched him. In the dim light in which they sat, he could not see the features of the portrait, but he guessed how the case stood. "Poor fellow 1" he said, with more ten- derness than would have been expected „from his looks. Then, after a minute's silence, he went on, as much to himself as to. the other, "And yet my case is harder. I was in love—I am in love, God help -me! —and I also have her portrait in my breast. What would I give if I could look on it as you can look on yours ! ' Dare looked at him with interest. " What !" he said, "have you also the same trouble—a poor girl wietarid 0 treated when she hears of penal Lestreed! , "No," said the other -tenter ye, not go distracted; she has hacisdnoug me.

This was Lord Fevershana—a man M whose nature vanity, callousness and love of pleasure were about eaually combined. His face was gay with pleareint expectation, as the rebels were drawn up before him. "Good !" he remerked. "These were all ringleaders, were they? Sergeant John, draw up your firing, party, and, shoot down every man *of them. The order was instantly obeyed. The firing party was, drawn up; the prisoners were drawn up in line at a few faces dim lances. At one extremity of the line David Dare and John Quixervyn found thenaselvee once more aide by sid.e. An officer who sat on horseback at Fever sham's right hand observed them. " I know those two," he said, pointing to them with his finger. "Pity two such el - lows should be done for, One of them is the best runner in the country side, and.. the gther the best rider." . " Eh ? What ?" said Feversham, standing up in his stirrups. "Hold there a moment, Sergeant; I spy a chance of gallant sport. What say you, Major ?—a race between these two across the moor, the one on loot, the other mounted. Will you back the runner ?" The Major was a man of serne-humanity. He reflected for a moment. • "Agreed. !" he seid, " And to ' engross that both shall `do their best let the winner have the promise of his life." " • Feverahain .received this proposal with by no means a good grace, for to spare a rebel hurt him to the soul.' But -the delightful - /wormed of mein two men racing- for- thMr lives and of beiug able, after all, to shoot the fuser, at length reconciled him to the scheme: He gave his orders, and the two prisoners were led out of the line. Out upon the moor, about a quarter of a mile away, stood a saintly tree. This was selected as the starting point. A double line of troopers was drawn up, stretching from the tree to the spot where the general was stationed, leaving a apace between them like a racecourrie, some yards wide. At the end of the course Feversham and the Major sat opposite each other. Whichever of the two competitors thould pass between them first would be rewarded with his life and liberty. • And what were the sensations of the pair evbile the preparations were in progress. David Dare, standing before the muskets of the firing party, had heard the stiange • proposal with a sudden thrill of hope, so keen that it was almost like a pain. Then for a moment his heart fell again. He knew his own speed of foot, but he knew also that against a fleet horse urged lsy a skilful rider spurring for dear life his chance was likely to be sinall. Still there was a. hope again, and he could his best. More he could nob do though success meant life—and life with Mary Seldon.

Not a sound was heard in the still morning air ; but all down the double lines were faces fixed intently on the two corn petites. Feversham and the Major, with gleams at their eyes, sat motionless as statues. Even the condemned men, forget- ful of their own approaching doom, stretched their necks. to catch a glimpse of the strange contest on which depended life and death for two of their companions. The Sergeant raised his pistol. The re- port rang out At the, same instant horse and man shot out together from the znark. At first the runner, practised in flying from the start, and having leafs momentum than the horse, drew out in front In a few second a he was some twenty yards ahead. Then the gap between them ceased to widen ; then it was seen to be decreasing ; the horse was gain- ing—slowly at first, but gaining surely, stride by stride. When half the course was covered the home had drawn up level—and then came such a rare as hadnever yetbeen seen. For a hundred yards and ntore the two ran locked together side by side, the runner almost flying over the crisp turf, the horse stretched out in a fierce gallop, with the rider standing in the stir - raps. And now the goal was only fifty yards away; but the gazers drew a deep breath as they saw that now the hones was gaining—,was drawing out in front. For one ;instant it seemed that all was over; the next, to their amazement, they were conscious that the horse was failing. Then they saw a gallant sight; they saw the runner nerve himself for a last effort, and, close upon the goal, dash past the horse and past the judges, and fall headlong on the • turf. At that scene, in spite of discipline, a frantic cheer broke forth along the line. Even Feversham hitnself smiled grimly', as one who, though he had just lost a bet, had gained its full equivalent in pleasureable ex- citement. " The wiener, who had fellen panting and exhausted, was raised. into a sitting posture by two troopers, 'one of whom poured a draught of brandy down his throat. The spirit almost instantly revived him, and in a few seconds he was able; thoughstill weak and dizzy, to stand mum his feet ant look about him, . A few paees off, his beaten' rival etood beside his horse. Dare looked at him, and their eyes met. Qabcarvynat' face bore an almost itnperceptible smile ; hitt it was tot •this, but something in. his look which the other could not have defined, which struck him backwards like a shock. He ateggered back a pace or two bewildered by the light which broke upon his mind. sThen he stepped, up to hie rival's side,. and the guards, who saw no cause to interfere, fall- ing back a little, he put his mouth close to Quocarvyn's ear: •, • "Yon pulled) that horse !" he said, Quixary ndonkidett him,, bat answered vrhether she had found a, younger and a if between the lines satwaiting. better -looking man, she confessed that it ° generosity to set her free fram our engage- ment.

"You are right, said the other ;' I should feel the same." Quixavyn drew a portrait from Ms breast, and held it out to his companion. . "Look," he said, "18 this a face to jilt a • man? though it is one to, drive him crazy. Let me look at yours—it is not more inno- cent than this one, I dare swear" The you man took the potrait, and at the same time handed him his own. Eaoh looked in silence at the portrait in his hand —in a silence of amazement, ofstupefaction. The two portraits represented the same person ! Qaixervyn was the first to break the silence. "What !" he said, drawing a deep breath and bursting into a low laugh, which was both fierce and glad, " you, was it? To think that I have found you after all ! Fate is kinder to me than I fancied." The other returned his gaze. Well," he said, "10 was 1, it appears ; though I never knew it, nor suspected it. And," he added simply, 14 it has been no one's fault." d' No one's fault ?" " No, no 000'0. Mary Soldon liked you, but she did not love you, and when we Met he found out her mistake. You frightened her with your mad humors. Without men- tioning your name she told me the whole story. You could not make her happy, and I could ; that's the whole case. Do you blame her ?" 4 "No,' mid Quixarvyn, thrusting the portrait back into his breast, "1 don't. But I have sworn to be equal with the man who turned her mind against me—I will never believe he acted by fair means --and I am going to do it. Defend yourself; give you Warning." Both men sprang to their feet at the same infant, and stood glaring at each other. At that moment there WAS heard outaide the church the rattle of a drum. Only the rattle of a drum. But the sound struck them motionlees as figures turned to stone. .Nor wag the effect on their compare ions less rerearxo,ble. There was a moment's raceme in the church, deep aft the 'silence of the dead; then a movement—a long thrill of horror. That summons meant that day WAS breaking, and that their hour was come. The guar& set instantly to work to pre. pare the firet batch of prisoners tel be led out of the antra. Dare and Quixarvyn were among the first seized.
