EctEes2ys stick descended across

cried:

Thea Eotheegy sank hack On hfs
seat whittier than ever and trembling
violently.
Ca-yI staggered back, his nose bEee6-
Ing p~rOfuseiy, hts eyes blinded FOR a
moment he heard Rothesay, as II
speaking O. a dog:
-Cant sOnebody take the wretch
awayg
Men now tried TO interfere. after II
was too late, as ns-aL Caryl thrust
them away, and pushed forward near
ROthesay and said:
None q Us Czryijs are apt % for
get q blow. Don't ron forget that"
Can you get cut Of my sighty asked
ROthegay. YEARLY.
At that moment the train came up
and Rotkesay entered a car, Still feel

zeakneSs.
CaTyI also boarded the train, but he
vent into the baggage car, found some
wafer. and az last succeeded In re-
naOyfng the stains from his face. His

He knew that a ridge Of purple and
red raj quickly swelling up on his
face, and he was furious at the
thought He vas completely sobersd
HON and he bitterly Tepented having
given cause for the quarrel. He hated
Roshesay but be had been a fool, a
thoughtless fool. He would have given
almost anything had net the affair
occurred.
Perhaps some idiots would think I
ought TO challenge him. bna the day OF
duels has gone By, and that would be
getting into a worse mess. No, /

work all the harder, Wei, Rothesay

take charge for awhile, that's plain"
He sat on a Of the trunks in the
baggage car, and smoked furiously
while he unused thus, and felt the
horrible welt across his face growing
bigger every moment. He told him
self that this was the worst mismoye
he had ever made.
When the train reached Boston,
Rothesay rode to a hotel and took a
room where be lay down a couple Of
hours. conscious OF the way In which
that moments excitement had shaken
him. He could not recall HIS thoughts
from the fact that he was obliged to
leave Kate Purcell; that he was pre-
vented from ever speaking any warm
er words from those OF friendship to
her while Caryl was there.
CAryI, he feared with too much rea-
son, would seek to win her, for
amusement IL for nothing else; and
caryl had the power to be very atten-
tive. and he had no reason for think
ing Kate could have loved him.
He must leave her there like a bird
towards whom he saw the serpent ap-
preaching. There was DO way OF pre-
venting the catastrophe he foresaw-
the dreadful catastrophe OF Kate Pur-
cells becoming In love with Ralph
Caryi.
The thought was ~maddening, but he
could not shake n of MD ha not 70
