may be that this was due sympathy with the

Somebody has asked whether; a duel

with his second, mounted the other in
the Garden of the Tuileries, before an
immense crowd Of admiring spectators.
When all was ready the ropes were cut,
and the balloons shot upward for q dis
lance of about half q mile above the
earth. The wind being light, they
were able to keep the distance Of about
eighty yards between each other with
which they started. On reaching the
agreed altitude the signal was given to
fire. M. lie Piqne missed, but M. de
Grandpre's ball went through the silk
of the other balloon, which immedi-
ately collapsed. The a descended.

for. strain my ears as I would, I could
not detect the slightest sound.
I cannot explain why I lay there
passive, or why i did not spring from
the couch and see for myself what
motive power was pushing it open.
1t was moi fear that held me inert.
It was, perhaps, because I was unwill-
ing to move about the room, lest I
should wake Mr.. Travers, and I knew
that in his present condition every
minutes slumber was Of the utmost
importance.
And then another curious circum-
stance arrested my attention. The
light was becoming brighter, and the
flame Of the gas, as I looked al 1t, was
slowly increasing. My y travelled
along the string by which, as I have
explained, the gas could be turned on,
and there, about a foot from the end
nearest MI. Travers, I saw a hand
moving slowly over the ~bedclothes. It
was the hand Of a man who might
once kave earned his living by the
sweat of his brow, for 1t was large and
showed the signs of wear, but now 1t
was well kept, and a heavy gold ring
encircling his third finger.
If you were to ask me the motive that
governed my next movement, I am
sure I could not tell you. The couch
on which I lay had no sides to 1t, and
so, without making a sound that could
be heard across the ROOM, I slipped on
to the soft, thick carpet, and, gently
lifthing the counterpart, crept under
the bed, and there, in the interval be-
tween the overhanging coverings and
the floor. I saw two feet covered with
thick wooden socks.
Even then I thought I had only to do
with an ordinary burglar, although in
that case the encounter might easily
prove a desperate one, seeing that 1
had nothing wherewith to fight but my
naked hands, and he, most probably,
had both revolver and loaded stick.
Suddenly there was a convulsiye
movement above me. Then came the
sound of a voice. and though the words
were Missed out rather than spoken, I
heard them plainly:
"You don't know me, Rupert STAR
leigh. but you knew Brian Lennon.
The Ragged Thirteen have got you. I
shall tighten the gag presently and
sunocate you. and I'll leave you the
cards to play with. The next man I
deal them to shall be Morton, and I'll
find him IL he's alive!"
The bed shook again with. the move
ments of the man upon 1t.

CHATTER III. (Continued.)
The fact that my father had sent me
to Mr.. Travers, by whom I had been so
warmly welcomed, viewed in the light
Of my new knowledge, clearly indicat-
ed that they were old friends. and this
being so, then could Mr.. Travers most
probably enlighten me as to the origin
Of his and my fathers ~fears-could give
me, in fact, some history of the com-
mon enemy. But dare I ask him?
dare I. stir up the past, with the sure
and certain result of clouding the fu-
ture? For it was evident, from n
peaceful way in which he was pursuing
his present occupation, that he was ig-
norant Of the fact that the suburban
outrage, which most people had long
since forgotten, was an outrage COM
mitted by his terrible foes. I felt that,
after the way in which my father had
refused to enlighten me, I had no right
to trouble him who had been so kind a
friend to me except under the most
c%eptional circumstances, and I, there
fore, settled down to work harder than
ever, for I was to proceed to Oxford in
the October of this same year.
