twist changed tb':quarte also and the

Framed by •the dark curtains, drawn

Tracy's .snarl died slowly away es

ment took its, place.
Diana, almost unable to • believe her
eyes, -dizzy with the suddenness of it
all, ,stumbled blindly' 'towards him,

wildered.

it to. be the old wound, and the Duke's
blade 'came to rest upon the ground.
"You are -satisfied?" he asked cool-
ly, but pan'ting'a..little: '
My lord reeled slightly, controlled
hrmself and brue'hbd his' left hand
across his eyes.
"On guard!" was all he.. replied, lg.-
noting
g-noring a pleading murmur from the
girl. •
Tracy .shrugged, meeting Carstares'•
blade with, his, and the fight went on.
Tracy's eyes wire.almost shut,' it
appeared to Diana';•"'his ehir '•.thrust
forward, his teeth gripping the thin
lower lip.
TQ, het horror . she saw -'that Car-
stares was breathing in gasps, and
that his face was ashen in,. hue. 'It
was torture to her to sit impotent,
but she held herselfinreadiness to
fly to his rescue should the need
arise. Suddenly my lord feinted on
both sides of the arm and ripped oft;
en the Duke's sleeve, causing
steady trickle of blood to drip down
on to the floor.
Tracy took no notice, but counter-
ed so deftly that John's blade waver-
ed, and he staggered back. For an
instant' it seemed as though the end
had come, but somehow he steadied
himself, recovering his guard.
Diana was on her feet now, nearly
as white aa.. her lover, her • hands.
pressed to her breast. She saw that
John's point was no longer so pur-
'i perceive your sword in the eor- poseful, ,and the smile had gone from
ner behind you, • your Grace!" slap- his lips. They were :parted now, the
ped Jack„ and flung over to the door,
-twisting the key roundin the 'lock
and slipping it into. his "breeches
pocket,,,.
To, Diana he was as a stranger,
with no laugh in the" glittering blue
eyes, and one of the almost finicking
politeness that usually characterled
his bearing. He was very white, with
lips set in a hafd straight line, and
his nostrils slightly expanded. •
His Grace -Shrugged a careless. re-
tisal.- •
"My dear Carstares, 'why should I
fight you?" he inquired, seemingly not
in the least, annoyed by the other's
intrusion.
"I .had anticipated that an' Wer,
your.Grace. So I brought this!"
As he spoke Jack drove the sword
he held into the wood floor, Where It
stayed, quivering. -
Nonchalantly. Tracy took it in his
hand and glanced at the hilt,
His fingers tightened on it 'convul-
sively, and he shot a piercing glance
at Jack. -
"I am entirely at your service," he
said'•very smCfothly, and ,laid the
sword' on. the table.
Some of the -glare died out of „my
lord's eyes, and a little triumphant
,smile curyed the corners of his
mouth. Quickly he divested himself
of his fine velvet coat, bis waistcoat
and his scabbard; and pulled off the
heavy riding boots, caked with mud.
He proceeded to tuck up his ruffles,
awaiting his Grace's convenience.`
As one 'in a dream, Diana saw the
table pushed back,•the' paces measur-
ed, and heard, the ring.of steel against
steel. •
My lord opened the attach -after' a
few_ mozli6nts cautious circling, lung-
ing swiftly and recovering, even as
the Duke 'countered and delivered a
lightning riposte en quinte. My lord
parried gracefully in tierce, and
chuckled softly to 'himself.
With parted Mips andwide eyes the
girl on the couch Ntatehe • "eacb-fresh
lunge. A dozen times it sehmed as
though Carstares must be run through
but each time, by some miraculous
means, he regained his opposition and
the Duke's blade met steel.
Once; indeed, thrusting in quarts,
Tracy's point; aimed too high, flashed
above the other's guard and' ripped
the cambric shirt at the sleeve. • 1ItKy

Carstares' white lips••moved sound-'
lessly, and Diana, ,guessing. it to be
her father, moved, clinging. to the
wall, towards' the door:
A moment later 'along the passage
came the sound' of steps; a gay; bois-
terous voice was raised, followed' by
a ' de 'per,+ graver one. '
His Grace's face became devilish in
its expression; but Carstares took no
notice, seeming' not to hear'. Only. he
thrust with such skill that' his Grace
was forced to fall back a pace. The
loud voices demanded to know what
was toward in the lacked room, arid
Diana, • knowing,' that my lord was
nearly spent, beat upon the panels. '
"Quickly, quickly!" she .cried.:
"Break through, for . heaven's sake,
whoever you are! 'Tis lockedi" '
"Good' Gad!'" `Tis a woman!" .ex-
claimed the voice. ''Listen, Dick!-
why -why -'tis a fight." '
"Oh, be quick!" ilhplored poor
Diana. ,
And' then. 'came the deeper voice:
"Stand away, madam, we will' burst
the 'lock."
She moved quickly aside, turning
her attention once more to the duel
by the windo, as Andrew flung his
shoulder against the stout Wood. At
the third,.blow the lock gave, the
door; flew wide,' and Lord Andrew was
precipitated into: the room:.
And 'the two by the window fought
on urrheed•ing, .faster and faster -
{Weil, I'm damned!" said 'Andrew,
surveying them. He walked forward
interestedly, and at the same moment
caught sight of ,]ack's face. He star-
ed in amazement, and called to Rich-
ard. •-
"Good Lord! Here! Dick!. Come
here! Stlrely it's -who is that fnan?"
Diana saw the. tall gentleman, so
like her lover in appearance', step for-
ward to the young rake's ,side, The
next events ,happened in a• flash. She
heard a great cry, and before she had
bine to •know what he was doing,
Richard had whipped ,his sword from
its scabbard' and had struck up the
two blades. In that moment the years
rolled back, and, recognizing' his bro-
ther, Jack gasped furiously:
