He never stopped the rlposLe, ana 1n- deed was too late to attempt ary guard. Pierced through the body Will son staggered back, clapping his hands against his chest. Over his face there swept 8 swift series of changes. Anger faded to chagrin, that to surprise, sur prise to fright, and that to gentleness.
 t"Sir," said he, you've hit me fair and very hard I pray you, some friend, give me an arm.'
 And so they led him. to his carriage, and took him home a corpse. Once more the code of the time had found its victim.
 Law turned away from the coach of his smitten opponent, turned away with face stern and full of trouble. Many things resolved themselves in his mind as he stepped slowly towards the car- riage in which his brother still sat wringing his hands in an agony. of perturbation.
 Jack, Jack!" cried Will Law, "Oh, heavens! You have killed him! You have killed a man! What shall we do?'
 Law raised his head and looked his brother in the face, but seemed scarce to hear him. Half mechanically he was fumbling in the side pocket of his coat. He drew forth from it now a peculiar object, at which he gazed in, tently and half in curiosity. It was the little beaded shoe Cf the Indian woman, the very object over which this ill., fated quarrel had arisen, and which now seemed so curiously to intermin- gle itself with his affairs. Twas slight shield enough" he said slowly to himself, yet 1t served. But for this little piece of hide, me- thinks there might be two of us going home to-day to take somewhat of rest"

FOR FELONY.

Late in the afternoon of the day following the encounter in Blooms bury square, little group of excited lo1terers filled the entrance and pas sage way at. 59 Bradwell street, the former lodgings of the two young gen. tlemen from Scotland. The motley as- semblage seemed for the most part to make merry at the expense of cer- tain messenger boy, who bore 8 long wicker box, which presently he shifted from his shoulder to a more convent ent resting place on the curb.

PRISONERS.

They passed through the heavy gates, down narrow and heavy-aired passage, and finally into naked room. It was here, in such somber surround ings, that Mary Connynge saw again the man whose image had been graven on her heart ever since that morn at Sadler's Wells. How her heart coveted him, how her blood leaped for him these things the Mary Connynges of the world can tell, they who own the primeval heart of womankind.
 When John Law himself at length entered the room, he stepped forward at first confidently, eagerly, though with surprise upon his face. Then, with. sudden hesitation, he looked sharply at the figure which he saw awaiting him in the dingy room. His breath came sharp, and ended in a sigh. For half moment his face flushed, his brow showed question and annoyance. Yet rapidly, after his fash ion, he mastered himself
 Will" said he, calmly, to his brother, kindly ask the coachman to wait for this lady"
 He stood for a moment gazing after , the form of his brother as 1t disap- peared in the outer shadows.
 Madam" said John Law, in deep and vibrant tone, you will pardon me if say that it gives me surprise to see you here.''
 ..Yes; have come, ]" said the, girl, not logically.
 ."You bring, perhaps, some mes sage?''
 .'I-I brought a message Tt is from the Lady Catharine?"

THE MESSAGE.

To Will Law, as he turned away from the prison gate upon the errand as- signed to him, the vast and shapeless shadows of the night-covered city took the form of appalling monsters, srelent- less, remorseless,. savage of purpose He passed, as one in some hideous dream, along streets that wound and wound until his brain lost distance and direction. It might have been an hour, two hours, and the clock might have registered after midnight, when at last he discovered himself in front of the dark gray mass of stone which the chairmen assured him was his destina- tion. It was with trepidation that he stepped to the half-lighted door and funbled for the knocker. The door slowly swung open, and he was con- fronted by the portly presence of a lackey who stood in silence waiting for his word
 "A message for Lady Catharine Knollys," said Will, with what courage he could summon lis of impor- tance, make no doubt" For 1t was to the Lady Catharine that John Law

 was to wait for, according to the first Mir. Law, sir"
 "He is coming then" cried John
 Law. angrily. 'I'll see into this pret- ty meeting. If this devils own fool is
 to have a crossing of steel, I'll fair ac- l commodate him, and we'll look into the reasons for it later. Sit ye down! Be quiet, Will, boy, say!'
 With one leap he sprang from the
 carriage, leaving Will half dazed and l limp within.
 Even as he left the carriage step, he found himself confronted with an l adversary eager as himself; for at l that instant Beau Wilson was hasten ing from his coach. Vain, weak and l pompous in a way, yet lacking not in a certain personal valor, Beau Wilson l stopped not for his seconds, tarried not to catch the others speech, but himself I strode madly onward, his point raised 1 slightly, as though he had lost all care and dignity and desired nothing
 so much as to stab his enemy as swift l ly as might be.
 l It would have mattered nothing now
 to this Highlander, this fighting Ar 1 gyll, what had been the reason animat- ! ing his opponent. 1t was enough that he saw 8 weapon, barred. Too late then, to reason with John Law, Beau"

 For a moment Law paused and
 raised his point, whether in query or l in salute the onlookers scarce could tell Sure it was that Wilson was the first to fall into the assault. Scarce l pausing in his stride, he came on l hlindly, and, raising his own point, lunged straight for his opponents breast. Sad enough was the fate | which impelled him to do this thing. It was over in an instant. It could
 not be said that there was an actual 1 encounter. The sidestep of the young 1 Highlander was soft as that of a l panther, as quick, and yet as full of 1 savagery The whipping over his | wrist, the gliding, twining clinging of l his blade against that of his enemy 1 was so swift that eye could scarce have
 followed it. The eye of Bessu4 Wilson was too slow to catch it or to guard.

A CHANGE DEcREED.

Mischance delayed the carriage of Beau Wilson in it's journeying to Bloomsbury square. It had not ap- Ipeared at that moment, far toward evening, when John Law, riding a ,. .trembling and dripping steed, came lupon one side of this little open com anon and gazed anxiously across the space. He saw standing across from .shim carriage, toward which he dashed. He flung open the carriage door. crying out, even before he saw 7 the face within:
 ssWill! Will Law, say, come out!" called he. What mad trick is this? s What"
 He saw indeed the face of Will Law Inside the carriage, a face pale, meIan- rholly, and yet firm.
 "Get you back into the city!" cried Will Law. "This is no place for you, Jack
 Boy! Are you mad, entirely mad?" : cried Law. pushing his way directly into the carriage and reaching out with an arm of authority for the sword which he saw resting beside his brother against the seat. No place for me! Iris no place for you, for either of us. Turn back. This fool ishness must go no further!"
 .'It must go on now to the end,' said Will Law, wearily MT. Wilson's car- riage is long past due.
 But you-what dos you mean? You've had no hand in this. Even had you-why, boy. you would be spitted In an instant by this fellow
 And would not that teach you to cease your mad pranks, and use to bet ter purpose the talents God hath given you? Yours is the better chance, Jack"
 ..Peace!'' cried John Law, tears starting to his eyes. '.I'll not argue that Driver, turn back for home!''
 The coachman at the box touched his hat with a puzzled air. "I beg pardon, sir, said he, "but I was under orders of the gentleman inside"

 had first turned. His heart craved one more sight of the face so beloved, one more word from the voice which so late had thrilled his soul. Away from these-ah! that was the prison for him, these were the bars which to him seemed irnperatively needfuI to be broken Aid he did not think of ask ing. Only, across London, in the night, he had sent the cry of his heart: Come to me,''
 "The Lady Catharine is not in at this hour," said the butler, with some as- perity, closing the door again in part
 tssBut 'tis important. doubt if twill bear the delay of night" Indeed, Will Law had hitherto hardly paused to reflect how unusual was this mes- sage, from such 9 person, to such ad- dress, and at such an hour.
 The butler hesitated, and so did the unbidden guest at the door. Neither heard at first the light rustic of gar
