turned his head, and for the first time looked
Dubof straight in the eyes.
DubOH returned the gaze with kindly con-
Germ, and apparently saw nothing strange
in the fact that his guest was aware of his
full name. "If you want to use it on your
self, he answered, am afraid I'll have to
withdraw my offer"
l he sick man continued to eye him pierc-
lngly. "My name, said he, "is Sergius Mill
kov, Serge Nikolaievitch, Of the Central
Committee, Third Division. You must have
forgotten much in three years, Peter Ivano-
witch, or you would know the only alterna-
tive. If that one cartridge is not for me, it
IS for the man who broke his oath that day
in Kief"
Duboff laughed gently. Never before had
he realized how far away he had grown from
his old self. At last he was free of the very
last shreds of doubt. The intensity of his
guests earnestness seemed unreal, impos-
sible, to him.
"No, Serge Nikolaievitch, 1 cannot agree
to that, either he answered cheerfully, as
if the proposition was one of the most ordi-
nary in the world.
at must be you or mel persisted the sick
man, almost pleadingly now. at cannot be
you, of course. cannot lift my hand against
my benefactor, my savior, my protector;
but | can save my honor by paying the price.
1 shall have to 60 over. Give me that one
cartridge, Peter Ivanovitch!"
"No, of course it cannot be l." said Duboff
musingly. "That's out of the question. 1
have too much to do here. I am needed.
But neither can it be you. You are too good
a man to be spared, Serge Nikolaievitch.
You are needed too" Then his voice
changed, grew solemn, and rang with author
ity. Il gave you your life, when it was done,
quite surely done. l have a claim upon it,
and l commit it to your keeping"
The sick man dropped the question for the

forgotten corner of the world, of his work
among them, both ashore and afoat, of the
wild tempests that harried the coasts, of the
wrecks, of the life saving, of the keen and
vital air, the vast spaces of solitude in be-
hind the hills, of the freedom, the bigness,
and the blessed peace. Then he got up and
said, Goodnight, my friend Tomorrow
you shall feel yourself d man again"
AS Dubof had prophesied, on the morrow
the sick man felt himself SO much stronger
that he was eager to be up; but while being
dressed he seemed to shrink from the doc
tors touch. Duboff got him out to the porch.
The gray, struggling village, presided over
by its whitewashed church, lay outspread
of half dozen boats just entering the lar
Dor. The strangers eyes swept the scene
with intensity. They rested at last on the
figure of Duboff' boy, at some childish play
at the foot of the garden. He heard Mrs.
McGarrigle rafting dishes in the kitchen.
SUDDENLY Duboff took revolver from
~ his pocket and handed it to him. Here's
your gun, Friend. I've cleaned it for you,"
said he carelessly.
The sick man took it and opened the
chamber. "Where are the cartridgeso" he
asked, apparently forgetting to say thank
you.
Duboff laughed softly. II think they
were done for; but l can let you have all you
want. The gun is of the same caliber as my
own"
The sick man made as if to drop the
weapon; but changed his mind and slipped
it into his pocket. THANK you," said he.
Il shall want only one"
Zone cartridge won't go far" remarked
the doctor.

first ladder ended ledge of six-inch width
ran round the steeple. 1t was clearly seen
in the light that issued through long and
narrow Sits at regular intervals in the steeple.
Here again the pursued paused, half in
clined to crawl along the ledge on his toes,
in the hope that Antoine would not follow;
but again his courage failed him, and he
clambered up the second ladder.
"Come down. Dog!s yelled Antoine.
The other tried to utter d mocking laugh;
but the sound perished on his lips, for on
reaching the toprnost rung of the second lad
der he saw no other. There were clamps in
the stone but for some reason the ladders
had been removed.
The night wind entered screamingly
through one of the apertures on level with
his shoulders, and the empty shaft trans
formed it into hellish cries.
The German looked down. Antoine, with
eyes of death, was coming after him. And
fear frenzied terror of his relentless enemy,
entered the bones of the pursued. If he
would escape there was but single chance
that offered itself. 1t was frightful one
He must screw his body through the open
ing and take refuge upon one of the crockets
set in the outside of the spire. Surely his
enemy would not follow him there!
He thrust his head through. The i'm
mense gull of the night, in which flashed the
shining stars, through which romped the
wind all but cowed him. He peered up, and
saw one of the crockets within arms reach
He clutched it, and exerting all his strength
he edged and worrned his body through the
orifce, setting his feet upon the crockett be-
low and slightly to the left of the one his
hands gripped.
But he dared not remain there; for he
was still within reach of Antoine. He shut
his eyes; groan burst from his white lips
He must climb higher yet, and with the
help of the jutting arms of stone.
He felt as if he was struggling against the
power of a terrible nightmare. He set his
teeth and began to crawl up the sloping face
of the steeple. If seen from below, he must
have resembled fly crawling up this preci-
pice of stone.
Antoine glanced up. He perceived his
enemy poised in midair
death of a dog! Cowardice may make a
man terribly brave" he muttered.
He hesitated. The abyss made his head
swim. He felt the great spire rock most per-
ceptibly under the buffets of the wind, liter
ally swinging to and fro.
"Parhen! where one can climb, another
may he grunted.
He continued the chase. Lust for the life
of this German impelled him forward to the

exclusion of every other thought. Privation,
remorse, love, all the strong emotions that
had torn him so long, became centered,
joined, in one consuming determination. He
would follow his enemy, would kill him with
his bare hands, if he had to descend into the
pit to do it!
He pulled himself up from crockett to
crockett with supernatural energy. No
shadow of fear troubled him. He knew per-
fectly well that he was going to win.
The night wind shrieked, tearing at him
The stone shaft upon which he leaned his
chest sank away outward, then recoiled,
shuddering from base to pinnacle. And he
clung to it, this human fly, looking only up
ward to the slow dragging figure of the Uh-
Ian, and to the high sailing moon that swan
in glittering glory.
SUDDENLY there foated to his ears a
burst of terrible laughter. The Prussian
had gained the summit of the steeple. 1t
was surrounded by an iron rail, and just
above it was short iron cross. The Uhlan
clutched the rail with his left hand, stand
ing upon crOcket; and, leaning down. max
ing trumpet with his disengaged hand, he
howled a vclley of epithets and mocking
laughter. But he did not know in the least
what he was doing or saying; for his brain
was quite turned
AND Antoine looked up into the face OF a
madman.
"Come along, Friendl" howled the Ger
man. "By the great devil, it is fine here!"
Antoine paused. He had sensation as
if drop of icy water had touched his heart
"Ah, you won't come, eh?" shouted the
other with snarl of fury. "Now, by all the
angels of death, We'll 60 for ride together!"
He released his hold and fell with all his
weight upon Antoine. The latter clutched
him as he was hurled backward. The spire
seemed to shake itself free; the wind roared
angrily.
Hugging each other in that embrace of
conflict, Prussian and Frenchnan fell
through the void.
