to be at the exercise again; so that
his blood kindled and his eyes CLEANED
In the glee of strife. Thus he stepped
forward, guarding himself. and thus
he met the counts impctuous onset;
and he neither fiinched nor gave back,
but finding himself holding his own he
pressed on and ON. not Violently at

iron. And while Osra gazed with wide
eyes and closeheld breath. and count
Nikolas muttered oaths and grew more
furious, the bishop seemed as gay as
when he talked to the king, more
gaily. maybe than bishops should.
Again his eye danced as in the days
when he had been called the widest

saw this. hesitation and mercy passed
out of his heart, and though the man
had now no weapon, he thought OF
sparing him no more than ne would
have spared any cruel and savage
beast; he drove his sword into his
body. and the count. not being able to
endure the thrust without fiinching,
against his own will gave way before

to the gate of the castle. The bridge
was let down; the confused sound of
many men talking of whispers, of
shouts and of cries of horror, mounted
up through the air. For the counts
men in the hall also had heard the
Splash, ana run out 10 see Wnat IL
was; and there they beheld the body
of their master dead in the moat; and
their eyes were wide open and they
could hardly lay their tongues to the
words as they pointed at the body and
whispered to one another, very low,
THE bishop has killed him--the bishop
has killed him" But the bishop saw
them from the window and leant out,
crying:
Yes ] have killed him. So perish all
such villains
And when they looked up and saw in
the moonlight the bishops face, they
were amazed. But he hastily drew his
head in, so that they might not see him
any more For he knew that his face
had been fierce, and eXultant, and joy
full.
Then dropping his sword, he ran
across to the princess and drew the
counts sword. that was wet with his
own blood, out of the door, releasing
the princess hair; and seeing that she
was very faint he put his arm about
her and led her to the couch; and she
sank down upon 1t, trembling and

of war it was covered with a close and
strong iron grating. But now the graf

beneath this window was fall OF
seventy feet or hard upon it into the
moat below. The count looked into the
bishops face and saw him smile, and
suddenly he recollected the window,
and fancied that it was the bishops
design to drive him on to 1t so that he
could give back no more; and, since he
knew by now that the bishop was his

on the wicked impulse to kill the man,
and lowering his point for an instant.

his last throw: for all at once. as it

tation that he will be the nominee,
there is a horde of candidates for the
