An hour later caleche driven by
Nine. La Tour, containing the two wo-
men, was speeding along the shell road.
The moon, which was three-quarters
full. rendered the road less difficult to
follow at night, though, being white,
1t was distinguishable at any time.
Just as faint streak appeared in the
east the caleche entered the Oaks and
pulled up near what had often been
pointed out to Nine. La Tour as the
dueling ground. Presently carriage
rolled up to the historic spot, followed
by another, and by the early twilight

"Dr. Jules Rubidoux. he is always

abominable customs you have here!

Those are not sticks; they are ra-

The two women alighted and walked
cautiously toward the duelists. The
oaks still cast sufficient shadow to
conceal their advance. Suddenly as
there was a clash Of steel Miss Dick
inson, walking in advance of her aunt,
appeared on the scene. Both contest
ants lowered the points Of their ra-
piers and stood looking at her with as
constituent.

There was no reply for. q time: then
