found himself in an instant eight feet
deep in the ice cold stream. Once and
twice his gasping face and clutching
fingers broke up through the green water,
sweeping outward in the swirl of the
current. Alleyne had dropped his shat
tered sword and was standing trembling
in every limb, with his rage all changed
in an instant to pity. For the third
time the drowning man came to the sur
face, his eyes turned in despair to the
shore. In an instant Alleyne, too, was
in the GarOnne, striking out with power
full strokes for his late f0eman.
Yet the current was swift and strong,
and, good swimmer as he was, it was no
easy task which Alleyne had set himself.
To clutch at Tranter and to seize him by
the hair was the work of a few seconds,
but to hold his head above water and to
make their way out of the current was
another matter. Then at last, amid a
shout Of Joy and praise from the bank,
they slowly drew clear into more stag
nant water, at the instant that a rope,
made of a dozen swordbelts linked to
gether by the buckles, was thrown by
Ford into their hands. Three pulls from
eager arms, and the two combatants,
dripping and pale, were dragged up the
bank, and lay painting upon the grass.
John Tranter was the first to come to
himself. for. he had done nothing during
the fierce battle with the current. He
staggered to his feet and looked down up-
on his rescuer, who had raised himself
upon his elbow. and was smiling faintly
at the buzz OF congratulations and OF

lie passed his thick fingers roughly
through the youths crisp golden curls.
"You seek to force a quarrel, sir" said
Alleyne white with anger.
"A~A what thenp
"Why, you do It like a country boor,

rather for the fame Of my lady and for
the unfolding OF chivalry.' Then he would
draw his glove, thus, and throw it on the
ground; or, il he had cause to think that

A buzz Of excitement went up from the
knot of squires as Alleyne, his gentle ma

fiery resolution, dashed his glove with all
his strength into the sneering face Of his

been addressed as Roger Harcomb. "You

the squires. There must be a finish to

Close to the bank of the GaFonne there
lay a little tract of green-sward. The
river ran deep and swift up to the steep
bank. Here the two combatants drew
their swords. In such combats as well
as in the formal sports of the tilting-yard,
T'ranter had won a name for strength
and dexterity. On the other hand, AL
leyne had used his weapons in constant
exercise and practice for every day for
many months, and being by nature quick
of eye and prompt of hand. he might
pass now as no mean swordsman. An
unequal fight it seemed to most but
there were a few, and they the most
experienced, who saw something IN the
youths steady gray eye and wary step
which left the issue open.
Hold, Sirs, hold! cried Norbury, ere
blow had been struck. "This gentleman
hath a two-handed sword. good foot
