CHAPTER vi.
At the Swords Point.

Nel's first emotion was not so mucn
one of anger as of exultation. Il shall
have him at my swords point" he
kept saying to himself as he turned
from Hyde to Van Heemskirk's house.
Katherine sat upon the steps of the
stoop. Touching her, to arouse her
attention, Neil said, Come with me
down the garden. my love-"
She looked at him wonderingly, but
rose at his request and gave him her
hand.
Then the tender thoughts which had
lain so deep in his heart flew to his
lips. and he wood her with fervor
and nobility as ASTONISHING to himself
as to Katherine. He reminded her OF
all the sweet intercourse of their hap
DIV lives, and of the fidelity with which
he had loved her. "Oh, my Katherine,
my sweet Katherine Who is there
that can take you from me?'
mo one will marry. With my
father and my mother l will stay,

love you, with the whole soul. You

"Why?"
sNGo ta 1Ouac ond him I love "
"You have more st. Nicholas rib
bons? Go and get me one. Get bow,
katherine, and give it to me. l will
wait here for It,"
mo. that l will not do. How false,
how wicked / would be, if two lovers
my colors wore!"
"Well. then, 1 will cut my bow from
Hyde's breast. l will, though | cut
his heart out with it."
= He turned from her as he said the
words. and, without speaking to Joris,
passed through the garden ga J to his
own home.
In the calm of his own chamber,
through the silent, solemn hours,
when the world was shut out of his
life. Neil reviewed hisSposition, but
he could find no honorable way out of
Z the predicament He was quite SEN
sible that his first words to Capt.
HYDE that night had been intended to
nroyoke a quarrel, and he knew that
he would be expected to redeem them
: nv a formal defiance. However, as
tbe idea became familiar, it became
fmperative: and at length 1t was with
a fierce satisfaction he opened his
desk and without hesitation wrote the
decisive words:
"To Can't. Richard Hyde of His Males
TVS Service:
"Sir-A person of the character l
hear cannot allow the treachery and
stshonorable conduct of which you
have been guilty to pass without pun
! tshment. Convince me that you are
