But presently De Malet came up to ME
and said !. .Lansett, we shall want you
in this affair, although I'm afraid that
you won have a chance Of showing your
surgery. for De Villeneuve never wounds
without killing. Just then. the crowd
opened, and j saw ia. my amaxement;
that this man who had insul al and de-
fled the most terrib bic fighter iii All France
was . slim little fellow, with . pale, mea-
ger face. sS55sS

swered the stranger in tone 0f such
savage determination that every one who:
heard him, even De Villenueve himself,
furious though he was, gave . kind Of
shudder. Il had vowed never to fight
again, save with q man who deceived to-
die. But you have deserved it well by
your cold blooded murders, and die you
zshall!' &.
Where both sides were 60 eager to.
fight there was no need OF much prepa-=
ration. They met that evening, Colonel
de Malet being the strangers second and
another French officer acting for De Viii

They fought for some time without
a scratch on either side, and then sud-
denly the Englishman stumbled for
ward, exposing his left side. Quick as
lightning the renchman's point darted
in, and instantly the others shirt was all
crimson with blood, but the moment he
felt the steel pierce him he made a thrust
with all his strength and buried his
sword up to the hilt in De Villeneuves
body. Then understood that he had
deliberately laid himself open to his OPP
ponent's weapon in order to make sure
of killing him. So he had, for Dc Vii
leneuve never spoke again. Z 53 81;

a chair with q great crash, and looking
up we saw the quiet man trying to slip

We all jumped up from our chairs and
came croWding round the hero, setting
up cheer that made the air ring, but
he looked at us SO sadly and darby that
Z it made the shout die upon our lips.
Ah, lads! lads!' said he in tone of
deep detection, for heavens sake don't
praise a man for having shed blood and
destroyed life. I killed that r,lfEan as {
would have. killed a wild beast TO save
those whom lie would have slaughtered.
But God help the man who shall take q
human life merely to crafty his own
