warning and she was ushered into tn e
realms beyond.
The deceased was for many years a
resident of Lee county coming to Mis-
slssippi from Alabama. In all the
years she has lived in the county she
has been honored and respected by her
neighbOrs who always found in her

sUond to every call upon her for good
and charitable deeds. She was known
far and wide AZ a devout christian and
sxerted a splendid influence wherever
she lived. As a wife and mother she
al kind, affectionate and devoted to
the interest of her husband and chill
dren. As Il neighbor she was accomo-
dating and generous aud ministered to
the sick and needy. and the peihhbor-
hood in which she lived will greatly
MISS her. She was buried at Spring
Hill cemetery on Wednesday, evening,
the services being conducted by Rev.
Joseph ltaper, a large crowd being
present to pay tribute to the memory

ed we extend sympathy.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

CHAPTER v.-Continued.
Neil was intensely angry. and his
dark eyes glowed beneath their
dropped lids with passionate hate.
But he left his father with an as
sumed coldness and calmness.
The sarcastic advice annoyed him,
and he wanted time to fully consider
his ways. He was. no physical cow
ard; he was fine swordsnan, and he
felt that it would be real Joy to stand
with drawn rapier between himself
and his rival. But what II revenge
cost him too much? What II he slew
Hyde. and had to leave his love and
his home, and his fine business pros
poets? To win Katherine, and to
marry her, in the face OF the man
whom he felt that he detested; would
not that be the best of all "satisfac-
tions?"
He walked about the streets. dis
cussing these POINTS with himself, TILL
the shops all closed, and on the stoops
of the houses in Maiden Lane and Lib
erty street there were merry parties
of gossiping bellies and beaux. Then
he returned to Broadway.
Still debating with himself, he came
to a narrow road which ran to the
river, along the southern side of Van
Heemskirk's house. Coming swiftly
up it, as IL to detain him, was Capt.
Hyde. The two men looked at each
other defiantly; and Neil said with
cold, meaning emphasis
"At your service, SIR"
"Mr. Semple, at your service, and
touching his sword,-"to the very hilt,
SIR"
"Sir, yours to the same extremity"
"As for the cause, Mr.. Semple, here

The news of the duel spread with
the proverbial rapidity of evil news.
Batavius heard the story from many a
lip as he went home. He was bitterly
Indignant at katherine, and hot with
haste and anger when he reached Van
Heemskirk's house.
Madam stood with Joanna on the
front stoop, looking anxiously down
the road.
Just as Dinorah said, The tea is
served, madam" the large figure of
Batavius loomed through the gather
ing grayness; and the women waited
for him. He came up the steps with
out his usual greeting; and his face
was so injured and portentous that
Joanna, with little cry. put her arms
round his neck. He gently removed
them.

At that moment Neil and Hyde were


At that moment Neil and Hyde were
on the fatal spot.
Neil filing off his ccat and waistcoat
and stood with barred breast on the
spot his second indicated. Hyde re-
moved his fine scarlet coat and hand
ed 1t to Capt. Earle, and would then
have taken his sword; but Beekman
advanced to remove also his waist
coat. The suspicion implied by this
act reused the soldiers Indignation,
and with his own hands he tore of
the richly embroidered satin garment,
and by SO doing exposed what perhaps
some delicate feeling had made him
wish to conceal-a bow of orange rib
bon which he were above his heart.
The sight of it to Neil was like oil
flung upon flame. He could scarcely
restrain himself until the word "go"
gave him license to charge Hyde.
Hyde was an excellent swordsman
and had fought several duels; but he
was quite disconnected by the deadly
reality of Neils attack. In the sec
ond thrust his foot got entangled in
a tuft Of grass, and, in evading
lunge aimed at his heart, he fell on
his right side. Supporting himself,
however, on his sword hand, he
sprang backwards with great dexter
ity, and thus escaped the probable
death-blow. But, as he was bleeding
from wound in the throat, his sec
ond interfered and proposed a recon-
ciliation. Neil angrily refused to lis
IL
to enact a farce" and then, happen
ing to glance at the ribbon on Hyde's
breast, he swore furiously "He would
make his way through the body of
any man who stood between him and
his just anger"
Up to this point there had been in
Hyde's mind latent disinclination to
slay Neil. After it, he flung away
every kind of memory and the fight
was renewed with an almost brutal
impetuosity, until there ensued one of
those close locks which it was evil
dent nothing but ''the key OF the body
could Open" In the frightful wrench
which followed, the swords of both
men sprang from their hands, flying
soma four or five yards upward with
the force. Both recovered their weap-
ons at the same time, and both, bleed
ing and exhausted, would have again
renewed the fight; but at that mo-
ment Van Heemskirk and Semple, with
their attendants, reached the spot
Without hesitation, they threw
themselves between the young men,
But there was no need for words. Neil
fell senseless upon his sword making
in his fall last desperate effort to
reach the ribbon on Hyde's breast; for
Hyde had also dropped fainting to the
ground, bleeding from at least half a
dozen wounds. Then one OF Semple's
young men, who had probably OWNED
the cause of quarrel. and who felt a
sympathy for mis- young master, made
as If he would pick up the fatal bit of
orange satin, now dyed crimson in

CHAPTER VI.
At the Swords Poirt.


Neil's firet emotion was not SO much
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
sto6p. 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 a fervor
and nobility as ASTONISHING to himself
as to Katherine. He reminded her of
all the sweet intercourse of their hap
py lives, and of the fidelity with which
he had loved her. "Oh. my Katherine.
my sweet Katherine! Who is there

Yes. A bow of my st. Nicholas rib

well. then, will cut my bow from
Hyde's breast. will. though l cut

He turned from her as he said the
words, and, without speaking to Joris,
passed through the garden gate to his
own home.

the predicament He was quite SEN
sible that his first words to Capt.
Hyde that night had been intended to
provoke a quarrel. and he knew that
he would be expected to redeem them
by a formal defiance. However, as
the idea became familiar, 1t became
Imperative: and at length 1t was with
fierce satisfaction he opened his
desk and without hesitation wrote the
decisive words:
