Breakneck club this bad business be-

met that tall, ascetic messenger from
the attorney general, who had brought
the message to Miles Calhoun. II was
with this man-Leonard MaTow. eldest
SON OF Lord Mallow-that DvcA. with
three others, played cards one afte,
noon.
Inc instructive antipathy which had
marked their first Introduction was car
rled on TO this later meeting. Dvck
distrusted Mallow, and allowed his dis
trust exercise. 1t was unfortun~te
that Mallow won from him three
fourths of the money he had brought
to the club, and Won it with smile
not easy to forgive.
Dyck had at last secured real sue
cess in a scheme of his cards when
Mollow asked with sneer:
Did You learn that at your home
in heaven?"
Don't they teach it where you live
in hell?" was Dyck's reply.
At this Mallow tlicked Dyck across
the face with his handkerchief.
That's what they teach where I be-
long"
Well it's easy TO learn, and we'll do
the sum at any time or place you

Dyck had been drinking, or he would
not have spoken so; and when he was
drunk daring was strong in him. He
hated profoundly this man-so self
satisfied and satanic
lie kept a perfect GOODNESS, however.
Leonard Mall0w should not see that
he was upset. His wanton wordiness
came to his rescue, and until the end
of the game he played with sang -froid,
daring and skill. He loved cards: he
loved the strife Of skill against skill.
of trick against trick, of hand against
hand. He had never fought a duel in
his life, but he had no fear Of doing SO.
At length, having won back nearly
all he had lost, he rose to his feet and
looked round.
rs there anyone here from whom
can ask a favor"
Several stepped forward. Dyck
nodded. One of them he knew. 1t was
Sir Almeric Foyle.

out Of the corner of his eye. It's
funny" he added, that in Ireland the
word loyal means being true to the
Union Jack, standing by King George
and his crowd"
We'll, what would you have?" said
Dyek. For this is a day and age when
being loyal to the king is more than

challenge of life, strength and will.
As MallOw entered the grounds. the
thought of Sheila LIyn crossed Dyck's
mind, and the mental sight of her
gladdened the eyes of his soul. For
one brief instant he stood lost in the
minds look; then he stepped forward,
saluted, shook hands with Nallow.
and DOTTED his coat and waistcoat.
AS he did so, he was conscious of q
curious GOODNESS. even Of dampness, in
the hand which had shaken that of
MaIlow. Mallow's hand had clammy
touch-clammy. bet firm and sure.
There was no tremor In the long, thin
fingers nor at the ijps-the thin, as
cetic lips, as of secret service man
but in his eyes was a dark fire Of
purpose. The morning had touched
him, but not as it had thrown over
Dyck its mantle of peace. Mallow also
had enjoyed The smell and feeling of
it all, but with this dif'erence-it had
filled him with such material joy that
he could not bear the thought of leav-
ing it. It gave him strength of win,
which would add security to his arm
and wrist.
Dyck had learned workmanship
with as skilled a master as Ireland
had known, and he had shown, in get
ting knowledge Of the weapon, a nat
ural instinct and a capacity worthy of
the highest purpose. He had handled
the sword since he was six, and his
play was better than that of most
men; but this was, in fact, his first
real duel. Many times, Of course, in
the pro ess of his training, he had
fought rs men fight in duets, but with
this dilfercnce-thatu now he was per
mitted to disable or kill his foe.
Physically, there was not vast
deal to choose between the two men.
Mallow was lank and tail. nervouSly
self-contained, finely concentrated,
and vigorous Dyck was broad Of
shoulder. well set up muscular, and
with a steader eye than that of his
foe. Also, as the combat developed,
it was clear that he had a hand as
steady a his eye. What was more.
his wrist had superb strength and
fieXibility; it was as enduring and
vital as the forefoot and ankle of a
tiger AS a pair they were certainly
notable, and would give a good ac-
count Of themselves.
The two men fighting had almost
the air of gladiators. Their coats
were off, and the white linen of their
shirts looked gracious; while the up
raised left hand of the fighters bal
ancing the sword-thrust and the
weight of the body had an almost sin
gular beauty OF the two, Dycb was
the more graceful, the steadier the
quicker in his motions. His momen-
tary vision Of Shela Llyn remained
with him-not as a vision, rather MS
warmth in his inmost being. some
thing which made him intensely alert,
cheerful, defiant, exactly skillful
He had need of all his SIKH, for

felt instinctively what was working

trick or art he had given the end TO
the lives Of several He became con,
scious. however, that Dyck had par
