only the man Of whom he had said that
the world was not large enough to hold
them both. And now they were in the
same room.
With an air of relief for the per-
mission to exclude Mrs. Terry, Plack
started toward the door, Instantly,
Terry arose and followed him. So ma
tural was the action, so placid was his
appearance, that even those who knew
him by sight did not dream of his in
tent. 1t seemed to them as if he were
quietly accompanying Plack to the door,
in response to some message.
Halfway to the door, Terry suddenly
changed his course, and ceased to fol-
low Plack. He crossed between the
tables in such a way as to take him
by the one where Field was seated. His
eyes were still fixed on Field-he had
not taken them off for second since
he had known his enemy was here. So
Z possessed, so dominated was he, mind
and body, by his bitter hate that still
he did not see the small man at Field S
left, who watched him so closely with
those cold keen eyes.
Terry reached the table where Field
was seated. He did not pause First
he passed by Nagle. So cool was his
demeanor that the guard suspicious
were half allayed. Terry almost passed
by Field. For moment it seemed as
if he did not see his enemy, who was
still unconscious of his presence. Then
like flash Terry wheeled, and leaned
over the unsuspecting man.
! ''Slap! Slap!"
! The sound was heard distinctly over
the clatter of dishes in the noisy dim
ingroom. All eyes were turned toward
! the central table. The saw the gigan-
! tic form of Terry loom up above the
seated Field; they saw him give two
powerful bullets with his open hands,
first with the right, then with the left,
on both sides of Field s face. Those
who did not see the Bullets saw the
crimson marks on the pale face of the
man who was attacked. And those at
the same table also saw Terry moving
his hand toward a pocket as if to draw
a weapon. They started up in alarm
to flee.
But they were not quick enough. No
one of them had yet succeeded in do
ing more than rising when the small
man at the left of Field rose and
shouted loudly:
"Stop!'
For the first time Terry took his
eyes from Field, and glared at the
small man.
''Stop! I am an officer! Stop!'
Again the loud warning rang through
the room.
When Terry saw that the man who
thus commanded him to stop was the
deputy marshal who had wrested his
knife from him in the courtroom his
eyes blazed. Like bull in the ring
with two assailants, he hesitated for
a moment, but only moment. Again
he turned toward Field, and reached
for his bowie-knfe.
Nagle was holding his pistol con.
cealed at his side in his left hand. H
grasped the barrel with his right hand
to steady it, and leveled it at Terry.
Two loud reports rang out.
Terry threw up his right arm, his
right leg doubled under him, and he
quietly sang to the floor.
All of this took place so quickly
that Field was still seated at the table
The thud of the blows was almost
echoed by the two reports of Nagle ;:
pistol.
AS yet most of the on-lookers die
,, not know who was the aggressor Of
who was attacked. They were add
! tionally puzzled, for at that very mo
, ment an ARRAY broke out at the door
, A woman IS voice was heard clamorine
, for admittance in loud and angry
tones.

subtle, daring man.
"Terry.' Now this word was onI,
a a name, and he that had borne it die
