men about to battle for life might be
spared. There was no thought OF the
necessary inference from the prayer,
and in Ellen's distracted mind she
did not even think to pray that the
duel itself might be stopped. She
poured out her whole soul in an
guished petition that CarrinS,on,
whom she loved, might come to no
hurt, and in that petition with less
fervency. but with true Puritan zeal,
Debbie unhcsitatingly joined. What

TROUBLE WITH MODERN CHILD,

Have you got everything ready, DR..
Nevinson?" asked the earl.

that you gentlemen will give me little

Strathgate laughed again.
"lf it depends on me, doctor, you'll
have nothing to do but certify TO "A
death"
Il didn't mean it that way, my
lord" said the doctor, gravely.
But | do" asserted Strathgate,
turning away.
Every word of the conversation had
been heard by Ellen and Deborah The
whole situation was now clear to
them both. This was to be a duel.
Darlington and Strathgate were TO
meet. Strathgates deadly purpose
was evident from his grim remark to
the surgeon. Ellen could not doubt
but that Darlington shared the same
ruthless feeling to the full He was
coming to battle about her. Her
heart leaped at first at the thought
and then contracted like lump of ice
at the possibility of disaster and
death which lay before the man she
loved
Her first impulse was to rise, dash
into the clearing and denounce Strath
gate, but second thought assured her
of the folly of that purpose. Those
men were bent on fighting. They
would only fight the harder and more
fiercely If she interfered. She woul'i
simply be removed from the scene Of
action and the duel would so on.
The situation was an intolerabie
one whichever way she turned, what
ever she did. That she should lie
quiet in a thicket and watch her hus
band fight for his life was unbearable
That she should burst out and inter
rupt them and then simply be removed
and the battle be waged the more
fiercely was also uncomfortable. Yet,
she would have chosen the latter
course had it not come across her
mind like a flash of intuition, that her
appearance at that juncture would
probably greatly agitate her husband,
and that his chance for life would be
worse in that he would be less cool
than Strathgate. She had sense
enough to see that Strathgate would
welcome her arrival, and how easily
he could turn it to his own advantage
by claiming, in spite of any protest
she might make, that she was there
by her own continuance and at Strath-
gates request.
She dug her feet into the ground
and locked her teeth in anguish. The
sweat stood out on her brow. But
there was nothiSg TO do but lie still
and keep watch

by approaching her ear and whisper
