his courage.

stamped my foot: Coward! vii,

He stopped and picked up the wea'
pom, A wave Of fierce delight ran
through me. The moment OF reckon
Ing was at hand.
Yet he baked me. He held up hIf
hand, and fired both barrels In the air
uttered a cry Of rage.
"You are man Of honor, suppose?"
he said "You cannot Stay defense
less man"
thrust my left hand into my pocket
and threw a handful OF cartridges to-
ward him. He should not escape me.
He hurled the pistol from him far
over the top OF the rock. My hope Of
killing him in fair fight was gone. I
gritted my teeth, and swore that never
theless he should not escape. Sow
ardT shouted, with my finger tremb-
ling on the trigger.
He was bold, for he still stood erect
and faced me. Ills face grew pale. No
wonder, for death was close at hand.
He spoke; his voice was clear and dis
tinct.
Listen" he said, zone moment be-
fore you stain your soul with this
crime. Viola, your wife"
He said no more. The sound of her
name reused in me a burst Of mad
fury; all my enforced calm left me-
"Silence, you hound" shouted.
Grant must have seen the change In
my face, and guessed what 1t presaged.
Doubtless life was dear, very dear to
him. He sprung toward me. My finger
pressed the trigger, and the report
rang out. My hand as I fired was as
steady as a rock and before ! saw the
erect or my bullet l knew that 1t had
done its work.
The smoke cleared Off. Grant was
staggering to and fro. His hand was
pressed to his right breast, and the red
blood was creeping through his closed
fingers and dyeing his pure white
coat. Suddenly he fell, and lay like a
log at my feet. The thing which had
for nights and days sighed for had
come to pass.
But not with the effect I had pictur-
ed. Instead Of the exultation which
had promised myself, tide Of utter
horror swept through me. One, only
one, thought filled my brain--I had Ia
ken this mans life, and was muir

An ohio Girls Strange Faculty.

Miss Harriet Morgan died recently
in Piketon, o., from quick consump-
ton contracted last winter while going
to watch at the bedside of a sick
friend. She possessed one popularity
which had given her considerable no
toriety in the region adjacent to her
home and which entitled her to rank
as curiosity
Her right hand was trife larger
than her left, but it was so perfectly
formed that casual observer would
not notice the difference in them. She
also had the power to increase the
size Of the larger hand by simple eff
fort Of her will. She could not ex-
plain how she did it, but without an
effort she could lengthen the fingers
and make the flesh swell considerably.
She was talented musician and BOD
ular girl socially.

ITO BE coSTENUED.D


Some young people anxious to have
last opportunity Of Meeting socially
before the season breaks up formed the
idea Of giving a progressive dinner
party. 1t Is not an entirely new idea,
but when such dinner as was given
the other evening is we'll managed, and
the right young people are brought to-
gether, 1t works admirably and Is most
amusing. A progressive dinner party,
to one who does not know, sounds very
queer. 1t suggests progress in cooking
being asked to partake Of progressive
dishes, If so they may he called But
in this case it was the men who pro-
crossed mot the girls; they are pro-
crossing fast enough. So, to begin
with, the invitations we're sent out as
to any ordinary dinner party, only with
Progressive Dinner" written in one
corner. The usual card given to each
man as he enters the house, designating
whom he was to take in, was the same
as at any other dinner party. Dinner
was served at eight O'clock. At the
end OF every course each man changed
his seat to the one on the other side Of
his companion, 1t being so arranged
that he would return at the end OF the
dinner to the girl whom he took in. It
was great fun, and although it did not
give much time for talk, still they had
an opportunity for variety In CONVERSE
ton, and every one seemed to enjoy it
immensely. The young hostess, having
excellent TASTE besides a deal of talent
for drawing, had made out especially
pretty menus and dinner cards, each
one with little sketch and ap-
propriate verse. She also took the en-
tire decoration Of the table in her own
hands, and it did her credit. Spring
flowers were used instead of the con-
ventional roses and there were lilacs,
buttercups, arbutus, all in profusion,
with candle shades Of white chiffon
and silk. This dinner was given In a
private house, but similar dinners have
been given at Sherry's on a much
larger scale-small tables for four to
siX-and dance afterwards. The girls
seemed to prefer the informality Of the
smaller one, 1t is too late in the season
to be formal.-From Harper's Bazaar.

MEN, women, and children were
standing about, dressed in holl-
day clothes. Then l remembered
that the girl who waited upon me had
said something about to-day being a
great festival of the Church. had given
little heed to her words, / watched the
crowd for few minutes, and presently
saw sight which, had my mood been
happier, would have delighted me-.
Girls and boys came, bearing tall wick
err baskets full of leaves, pulled from
various flowers and green shrubs. The
sandy space in front Of me was cleared
A young man ran nimbly from point to
point, tracing as he went lines in the
dust. Then, selling the baskets, one
after another, he distributed their
glowing contents in such a way that In
less than twenty minutes what looked
like a carpet Of variegated pattern,
formed of flowers, covered the dusty
space.
AS he hastily threw the last splash
Of crimson roseleaves into its place, tho
procession of priests, acolytes, and
choristers appeared. 1t paused on the
fair carpet, and some ceremony, such
as blessings, was gone through. Every
hat was dotted, every knee was bent
all save one. There, on the outskirts
of the crowd, with head uncovered, in
Difference to others, but standing erect,
saw the tall form Of Eustace Grant.
He had returned! A thrill of delight
ran through me as gazed on the hated
features of the man who had robbed
me Of all I cared for. drew back into
the room, and watched him through
my window. My time had come!
The procession resumed its march.
The people followed it, most likelyato
the church. The space was all but de-
serted. The various hues Of the flower
carpet were now blended together
without order or pattern. Grant re-
placed his hat, crossed the road, and
struck down a path which could only
lead to the sea, laughed as saw him
disappear.
With a grim elaboration I threw
open the barrels of my pistols, and
loaded them afresh. No lack Of pre-
caution on my part should aid the es-
cape of my enemy. Then I sat down
and waited. l wanted him to have
fair start, so that our meeting might
take place as far up that deserted coast
as possible.
When thought had given him suf-
ficient grace, l sailed forth in pursuit.

turned. rounded the foot Of the hill
which sheltered St. Seurin from the
northwest winds, then stood with the
unbroken cliff on my right hand, and
the sand stretching away in front Of
me for miles and miles. In the distance
l could see him-a white spot on the
yellow sand The heat was great; so
he had clothed himself in dazzling
white garments. He was, perhaps, half
mile In front of me, walking near the
edge of the sea. l quickened my steps
and rapidly diminished the distance

not mean to overtake him. l meant

liked, he might discover me. My only
fear was that some path up the cliff
might, unknown to me, exist-a path
that he might take, and so go home
across the table-land.
