 "Mr. Law" said he, there is some thing in your attitude which I admit puzzles me. I as,> yol ia all honor, I ask you on the hilt of that sword which I know you will never disgrace, why did you thus tlcut the Lady Catharine Knollys? Why did you scorn her and take up with this woman wonder in her stead?"
 ''Sir Arthur" said Jchn Law, with trembling lips, T must be very low in deed in reputation, since you can ask me question such as this

I did not do what you suggest, nor can conceive how any man should think me guilty of it, l.. loved Lady Catharine Knollys with all my heart. Twas my chief bitterness, keener than even the thought of the gallows itself, that she forsook me in my trouble. Then, bit ter as any man would be, I persuaded myself that I cared naught. Then came this other woman. Then T. well, I was man and a fOol-a fool Sir Arthur, most miserable fool! Every moment of my life since first I saw her, I have loved the Lady Cath arine; and, God help me, I do now!' Sir Arthur struck his hand upon the hilt of his sword. You were more lucky than myself, as I know" said he, and from his lips broke half groan. Good God!" broke out Law Let us. not talk of it. I give you my word of honor, there has been no happiness to this. But come! We waste time. Let us cross swords!'

 At hearing these words, the tall fig ure of the man opposed to him dropped and sank, as though under some fear full blow. He staggered to a nearby support and sank weakly to a seat his head falling between his hands, his whole face convulsed.
 "Ah!" said he, you did right to cross seas in search of me! God hath indeed found me oCt and given me my punishment. Yet I ask God to bear me witness that I knew not the truth Come. Sir Arthur. Come, beseech you! Let us fall to!''

THE IROQUOIS.

Even as Sir Arthur and John Law clasped hands, there came a sudden in corruption. A half-score yards deeper in the wood there arose a sudden, half choked cry, followed by shrill whoop There was a crashing as of one run ming, and immediately there pressed into the open space the figure of an Indian, an old man from the village ot the Illini. Even as his staggering footsteps brought him within gaze, the two startled observers saw the shaft which had sunk deep within his breast. He had been shot through by an h. dian arrow, and upon the instant it was all too plain whose hand had sped the shaft. Following close upon his heels there came stalwart savage, whose face, hideously painted, appeared fairly demoniacaI as he came bounding on with uplifted hatchet, seeking to strike down the victim already impaled by the silent arrow.

THE HILT OF THE SWORD.

BY THE HILT OF THE SWORD. Law passed on out at the gate of the stockade down to the bivouac, where Pembroke and his men had spent the night.
 Now. Sir Arthur said he to the lat ster, when he had found him, "come I am ready. to talk with you. Let us go apart.', Pembroke joined him, and the two walked slowly away toward the encir- cling wood which swept back of the stockade. Law turned upon him at length squarely.
 "Sir Arthur said he, q think you would tell me something concerned with the Lady Catharine Knollys Do you bring any message from her?'
 The face of Pembroke famed scar let with sudden wrath. "Message!" said he. Message from Lady Catha- rine Knollys to you? By God! sir, her only message could be her hope that she might never hear your name again.'
 "You have still your temper, Sir Arthur, and you speak harsh enough"
 Harsh or not, rejoined Pembroke, VI scarce can endure her name upon your lips. You, who secuted her, who left her. who took up with the lewdest woman in all Great Britain, as 1t now Rppears-you who would consort with this creature

 For 8 moment the two stood silent, facing each other, the face of each stony, gone gray with the emotions back of 1t.

When I had argued for an hour with quarreling husband and wife, without bringing reconciliation any nearer, I said: Well, you must go your own way, but you. are simply breaking my heart with your foolishness.' I believe my voice trembled, or I was tired and discouraged. The man and the woman looked at each other, and then the wom- an said:
 Indeed, miss, we didn't know we were hurting you've wouldn't do that for worlds. sJohn and me, and if it will make you happier, we'll try again.
 "As for their goodness to each other. it is beyond all praise. The nights spent in watching sick neighbors, though no rest can be looked for on the day that follows-the meals shared the nameless upremembered acts of kindness and of love'-one has to live among them to realize these"
