II she could have carried out her de-
sign, for Newbold flung the weapon
from him and the next moment the
two men leaped upon each other,
straining, struggling, daring, battling
like savage beasts, each seeking TO
clasp his fingers around the throat of
the other and then twist and crush un-
til life was gone.
Saying nothing, fighting in grim
silence that was terrible, they reeled
crashing about the little room. No
two men on earth could have been bet
ter matched, yet Newbold had slight
advantage in height and strength, as
he had also the advantage in simple
life and splendid condition. Arm

The girl shrank back against the

Strange primitive feelings throbbed In
her veins. 1t was an old situation,
when two male animals fought for SUI
premacy and the ownership of fe-
male, whose destiny was entirely re-
moved from her own hands.
Armstrong had shown himself In his
true colors at last. She would have
nothing to hope from him If he was
the victor; and she even wondered in
terror what might happen to her If the
man she loved triumphed after the
passions aroused in such battle? She
grew sick and giddy, her bosom rose
and fell, her breath came fast as she

Richard Harding Davis, during his
Atlantic City honeymoon, said at a
fish luncheon:

"She was beside herself with love
for me-; an old affair, you know" said
Armstrong more explicitly, thinking
to use spear with a double barb to
pierce the woman's and the mans
heart alike. That he DETAINED the
dead was Of no moment then. "She
wanted to leave you," he ran on glibly.

But the man paid no attention TO

in bitter taunt.

Protestantism In France.

According to an article in the Revue
the number of Professionals in France
is decreasing. They now number 700.-
600. The Lutherans, who numbered
more than a quarter Of a million in
1870, can now boast of membership
of only $4,000 in France. The Calvin
lists are the most numerous sect left,
numbering over half million But
they are losing ground. At the same
time the political influence Of the
French Professionals is out of all pro-
portion to their numbers. This the
writer attributes to their superior
system Of education, and above all to
their great wealth. Their wealth has,
however, tended to sap their exclusive
ness. They now pay less attention to
their religion, and the result is, says
the writer in the Revue. that Protes-
tantism in France will in the near fu-
ture be thing of the past. This is
a rather bold conclusion, and it would
be interesting to know if this alleged
decrease in the Huguenots is correct.

four-legged affair, solid almost as a
rock, stood in the way. Newbold at
last backed Armstrong up against it
and by superhuman effort bent him
over it, held him with one arm and
using the table as q support, wrenched
his left hand free, and sunk his fin
gers around the others throat. 1t was
all up with Armstrong. 1t was only
a question CT time now.
Now" Newbold guttered out
hoarsely, you slandered the dead wo-
man l married, and you insulted the
living one | love. Take back what
you said before you die"
Il forgive him." cried Enid Matt
land. ooh, for Gods sake don't kill
him before my eyes"
Armstrong was past speech. The
inveteracy of his hatred could be seen
even in his fast glazing eyes, the indo-
mitableness of his purpose yet spoke
in the negative shake of his head. He
could die, but he would die in his hate
and in his purpose.
Enid ran to the two, she grappled
Newbold's arm with both her own and
strove with all her might to tear 1t
away from the others throat. Her
lover paid no more attention to her
than If a summer breeze had touched
him. Armstrong grew black in the
face, his limbs relaxed, another second
or two it would have been over with
him.
Once more the door was thrown
open; through it two snow-covered men
entered. One swift glance told them
ALL One of them at least had expect
ed it. On the one side Kirkby, on the
other Maitland, tore Newbold away
from his prey just in time to save
Armstrong; life. Indeed the latter
was so far gone that he fell from the
table to the floor unconscious, choking,
almost dying. Il ySs Enid Maitland

he saw at once the state of affairs be-
tween the two He could hurt the
ment; what might be its Interior effect
he did not stop to consider, perhaps If
he had he would not then have cared
greatly. He realized anyway that
since Newbold's arrival his chance
with Enid was gone; perhaps wheth-
gone forever; although Armstrong did
not think that, he was not capable Of
thinking very far into the future in
his then condition, the present bulked
too large for that.
II did not think after that kiss in
the road that you would go back on
me this way. Enid he said quickly.
THE kiss, in the road" cried New
bold staring again at the woman.
you coward repeated she, with
one swift envenomed glance at the
other man. and then she turned to her
lover. She laid her hand upon his
arm, she lifted her face up to him.
''As God is my judge" she cried. her
voice rising with the tragic intensity
of the moment and thrilling with in
dignant protest, "he took 1t from me
like the thief and the coward he was
and he tells it now like the liar he is.
We were riding side by side, / was
utterly unsuspicious, L thought him a
gentleman, he caught me and kissed

ly, and then for the first time, he adj
dressed himself to Armstrong. You
came doubtless to rescue Miss Matt

admirable and you deserve thanks and
respect, but no further. This is my

to talk with you further.'g
Under your protection?" sneered
Armstrong beside himself after

Newbold did not leap upon the man
for that mordant insult to the woman;
his approach was slow, relentless, ter

them. Armstrong met him half way.

Now and at last he knew the man.
The face that confronted him was the
same face that had stared out at him
from the locket he had taken from the
bruised breast of his dead wife, which
had been a mystery to him for all
these years.
Well" tauntingly asked Armstrong
again, what are you waiting for, are
you afraid?"
From Newbold's belt depended a
holster and heavy revolver. AS Arm
strong made to attack him he flashed
1t out with astonishing q,lickness and
presented it. The newcomer was I'M
armed-his Winchester leaned against
the wall by his fur coat and he had
no pistol.

Still keeping the other covered. New
bold stepped over to the table pulled
out the drawer and drew from it the
locket. Enid remembered she had has
tily thrust 1t there when he had hand
ed it to her, and there it had lain un-
noted and forgotten. It was quite evil
dent to her what was toward now.
Newhold had recognized the other
man, explanations were inevitable.
With his left hand Newbold sought
the catch of the locket and pressed
the spring. In two steps he faced
Armstrong with the open locket thrust
toward him."
