the two hours that followed. He came
like the benign spirit of some old fairy
tale, bearing to me bright promise for
the future. Now, when long years
have passed, with all the full, strange
record with which this narrative deals,

no other way. 1t was my hour of

site where they stood, and the slow
deep coughing of her pipes seemed to
emphasize the scene.
Again the word was given; both pis-
tolls spoke together. AS the smoke
foated off, Bostock was seen standing
upright. Castex lay his full length
upon the ground.
Both doctors were instantly kneeling
by him. He never stirred. A small
hole in the forehead showed where the
bullet had traversed the brain.
Mr.. Bostock looked at the group.
SIS he dead?" he asked.
His friend came over to where he
stood
"Yes," he said.
Mr. Bostock's face was getting
white, and an expression of pain
crossed it. His friend caught him as
he was settling down to the ground.
One of the doctors hurried over and
laid the sufferer ON the grass.

it, while I looked over her shoulder.

He looked at me--a serious, pitying
glance it was--and sat down on gran

his hand and sighed.
my boy, I've often thought of this.
Your poor mother and I have laid
awake nights talking about it; but
never thought it had troubled you any.
What do you want?"
"To go to the academy-maybe to
college--and by and by to get out into
the world, try to make man of my
self, like the men read of, and to see
something besides these hills and these
people. I'd like to get rich, and come
back and build big house for you and

to do anything rather than live here

His dress was rich in material and
