"Open the door! In Gods name,

voice of Black Michael himself
He was answered by the very words

friend. Rupert saw him. and knew that
the game was up. He checked his rush
at me, and flung his leg over the sad
die. but yet for just a moment he
waited. Leaning forward, he tossed
his hair off his forehead and smiled,
and said:
.'Au revoir. Rudolf Rassendyll."
Then, with his cheek streaming
blood, but his lips laughing and his
body swaying with ease and grace, he
bowed to me. and he bowed to the
farm girl. who had drawn near in
trembling fascination; and he waved
his hand to Fritz, who was just within
range and let fly a shot at him. The

Face to Face I'm the Forrest.

For a moment J could see nothing,
for the glare of lanterns and torches
caught me full in the eyes from the
other side of the bridge. But soon the
scene grew clear; Fad it was a strange
scene. The bridge was In its place. At
the far end of 1t stood group of the
Dukes servants; two or three carried
the lights which had dazzled me, three
or four held pixies in rest. They were
huddled together; their weapons pro-
truded before them; their faces We're
pale and agitated. To put it plainly.
they looked in as arrant a fright as 1
have seen men look, and they gazed
apprehensively at a man who stood in
the middle of the bridge, sword in
hand. Rupert Hentzau was in his
trousers and shirt; the white linen was
stained with blood; but his easy, buoy
ant pose told me that he was himself
either not touched at all or merely
scratched. There he stood, holding the
bridge against them, and daring them
to come on; OF, rather, bidding them
and Black Michael to him; and they,
having no firearms, covered before the
desperate man and dared not attack
him. They whispered to one another;
and in the backmost rank / saw my
friend Johann. leaning against the por-
tai of the door and stanching with a
handkerchief the blood which flowed

other by luck rather than skill-per-

man was, did not relish being one of

restraining feelings came a curiosity
and fascination which held me SPELL
bound, watching for the outcome of ths.
scene.
| Michael, you dog! Michael! If you
can stand, come on!" cried Rupert
and he advanced a step, the group
shrinking back a little before him.
Michael, you bastard, come on!"
| The answer to his taunts came in
the wild cry of woman:
Hes dead! Ny God, he's dead!"

It fell, as 1 judged from the sound
and the circles on the water, within a
yard of the pipe. And Rupert, taking
out his revolver, began to shoot at it.
The first two shots missed the bottle,
but hit the pipe. The third shattered
the bottle. / hoped that the young ruff
fan would be content; but he emptied
the other barrels at the pipe, and one,
skimming over the pipe, whistled
through my hair as 1 crouched on the
other side.

THE HORSE SHO ".

The people of Augusta county es-
pecially should not forget that the
Horse Show this year begins on Aug.
9TH, and lasts three days-the 7th. 9Th
and 9th. This years show bids fair to
he the largest that has ever been held.
Nothing but bad weather can keep it
from being great success. The pre-
miums are large and more numerous
than most any offered elsewhere in the
State, and there will be splendid rae
ing every afternoon.
The high prices of horses just now.
the advantages acquired by our horse
raisers who attend these exhibitions
and learn what horse raising, horse
training and handling mean, ought to
be SO appreciated as to see no man at
home during these three days, who
could possibly attend this exhibition.
The beef trust has made cattle, sheep
and hogs of as little profit to the farm
er as that trust cares to, but no trust
has yet cornered the horse mark ct, and
every owner has the assurance of sell
ing in the open market, and getting
the highest price. Let him come to
the Horse Show and see what horses
are in demand.
