And it met be nearly time for us to be off," . • "Very nearly. The earriage was or-. dered at half -past eleven to take us to the station, and it wants but five min- utes to that time," said Fitz -John. And even as lte spone a 'servant came in and announced. the carriage.' Both gentlemen arose, took their hats and went out as upon an ordin- ary journey. They reached the London Bridge station in time to caeca the train for Brighton. This. train was the last for the night, and it stopped at Sydenham. It was the train by which CaAtain Faulkner usually returned home, after spending the evening out. He thought of that now, as he went up to the tick- et office' and took tionets for hinmelt and kis friend. He thought of it as he passed Colonel Brierly and his second, who Were standing on the platform, waiting for a guard to give them a first-elens carriage, By the judicious administration of half a crown to the guard, Captain Faulkner secured a coupe for bienself and frien.d. They had reereely got seated when ale train started. Captain Faulkner felt as if he were going home, ea usual, to his wife and children. He could scarcely realize that he was going to fight a duel. Very noon the train ran down to iydenham, which was the first sta- tion, blew the signal, and stopped. Captain Faulkner arose, as if to get out. as usual; then, recollecting him- self, he sank back in his seat with a groan, Then a sudden impulse eeined him to jump front the coupe to the platform, and hurry. horrie through the fields and lanes, now rich in autumn's beauty, home to his cozy cottage and lovely -wife and little children, and to leave Colonel Brierly to go to the Dev- il's Dyke, or to the devil himself, alone. But the train started, and his tate was sealed. In due time it ran in to the leright- on station, where a few cabs were still waiting to take late travelers to their destinations. Captain Faulknor and Fitz -John kook eab between them to the Ship notel, where they were followed by COlonel Briegly, his second, and the surgeon, in another cab. The whole party ordered rooms, and soon retired, Cauptain Faulkner and Fitz -John took a double -bedded room between them, and then feed a waiter to bring them, coffee at 5 in the .morning, and aleo to order a cab for that Iltnia. These arrangements having been ma:de, Mr. Fitz -John would have per- snaded his principal to lie down; but the captaiu. said that be wished to write itnother letter, and begged that his second would lie down, and leave him to himself. leitz-John then threw off hie coat end laid down on the outside of his bed, meaning to 'watch with his princi- pal. But fatigue soon overcame him, and ho slept soundly. Captain Faulkner sat dawn to write Ids seeond letter. This was to Mr. Melliss, New that he was so near an event that might terminate his earth, ly existence, "poor Marley" was forah ett into a stricter stlf-examination than he had ever instituted before, For the first time he felt remorse foa having first "stolen the old man's daughter," and then brought her and her children to such mtnery. He wrote Mr. afelliss as he felteas a dying man; telling him that hin present crisie,whert all the serioueness of lip and death weighed upon his epirit, he telt, for the first time, the enormity of his sin, and would, it pog- Otte, atone for it. lie begged the be= reeved •an.d outraged father to forgive hint, and to forgive his wife, tite er- ring deughter. He mid he did not ask' that father to erotect his wetowed daughter and her orphan children, be- eause he .knew that father would do sa Ahd be elided, as he had begun, by entreating forgivenees. Ito folded, :fettled tod direeted hie letter, and laid it aside to give to Fitzeiohn in the morning. Then he threw inniself on the bed, not expeeting to sleep. Yet sleep overtook him. Mid he slept until he was aroused by tae knoticing at his door. He and Ms friend sprang up at the gairie Mt:Anent. Fitzehohn opened the door, ited Coated the waiter. "If yint please, Sir ,it is 5 o'clock. Here is the coffee, and the -tab ie elid the waiter, "All right. Brien the tray In and put it oit the table, and let tho eab 'wait," Said Fitz -john, "Yen, stir. Any farther orders'?" "No. I'll ring if I want anything."

Then he took the second letter Vent the table and We it to Pits -John, ;ming: "Fitz, I feel now as if I would like to be at peeae with ail the mania, even with my unrelentinp, old father-in- law.

"And not over the down, but by the beach," seld FitzcJohn. • "But the tide, sir?" suggested the cabman, "Oin it is ebbtide new. It will be low tide by the time we get there. And we ,shall return before the tide tUrnS. a on." The cabnaan touched his hat and went on. strenge, weird dtive of death was that through the gray of the exturan morning, along the sands of the sea-• shore; on one side the beetling rocas, on the other the rotting sea. And a loag ride it seemed, considering the distance; but at length titbit neared the open Fitz -john ordered the cabman to stop. And he and Faulkner alighted, taking their pietol-case with them. leitz-john directed tae cabman to watt there. And then he drew the arm of his principal within Ms own, and they both walked on toward the fleet- ing ground, They reached the foot of that yawn- ing chasm known as the Devil's Dyke, and found themselves alone there. "The other party has not come up," said Faulkner. "No, I am glad of it. I ten glad that we are the first upon the ground," said Fitz -John. But even as he spoke they discov- ered three persons approaching front an opposite direction, and when they soon recognized as Colonel Brierly; his second, Mr. Aiken, and the surgeon. They lifted their hats as they an- proaehed, a.nd our friends eoarteously acknowledged -the greeting. The seconds -Mr. Fitz -John on the part of Captain Faulkner, and Mr, Aiken on that of Colonel Beierly-Wra- ceeded to step off the ground and place their prin,cipals. They planted their Men ton feet apart, standing sideways towards each other, with their backs to the downs, their faces toward the sea. The second then retired. An instant afterward Aiken gave the signal. "One, two, three. Piro!" At the fatal word botlt antagonists wheeled around and fired. Captain Faulkner sprang Into the air, fell forward upon his fa,e0, and lay motionless. ColonePBrierly, who was axilmrt, for- geteing all the "points of honor," threw away his ptstol and ran toward his fallen foe. But Fitz -John and Aiken luta. reach- ed the fatiti spot before him. Pitz -john had raised the head of the fallen man upon his knee. "ary friend is dead!" he groaned. "Fly and, gave yourself, Colonel Brier - CHAPTER VIL "Brierly, we must fly!
