and f believed it true. Now that hear it is not true, agree with you, sir, and I, am willing to express my regrets and apologies"
 That is better" said Colonel Dale heartily, and he turned to Erskine, but Erskine was crying hotly:
 And I express neither"
 "Very we'll" sneered Grey coldly. Perhaps we may meet when your rel atives are not present to protect you" ""Uncle Harry" Erskine implored. but Grey was turning toward his horse.
 "After all, Colonel Dale is right "Yes," assented Erskine helplessly, and then-"it is possible that we shall not always be on the same siGe."
 "So thought" returned Grey with lifted eyebrows, when I heard what I did about you!" Both Harry and Hugh had to catch Erskine by an arm then, and they led him struggling away. Grey mounted his horse, lifted his hat, and was gone. Colonel Dale picked up the swords.
 "Now," he said enough of all this-let it be forgotten"
 And he laughed.
 "You'll have to confess, Erskine- he has quick tongue and you must think only of his temptation to use it."
 Erskine did not answer.
 AS they rode back Colonel Dale spoke of the war. It was about to move into Virginia, he said, and when it did Both Harry and Hugh inter- rupted him with glad shout: "We can go!' Colonel Dale nodded sadly.
 Suddenly all pulled their horses in simultaneously and raised their eyes, for all heard the coming of horse in dead run. Around thicketed curve of the road came Barbara, with her face white and her hair streaming be. hind her. She pulled her pony in but a few feet in front of them, with her burning eyes on Erskine alone. '''
 Have you killed him-have you killed him? If you have-" She stopped helpless, and all were so amazed that none could answer. Frs kline shook his head. There was a flash of relief in the girls white face, its recklessness gave way to sudden shame, and, without a word, she wheeled and was away again-Harry flying after her. No one spoke. Colonel Dale looked aghast and Erskines heart again turned sick.

 Meanwhile, at a swift gallop Firefly was skimming along the river road. Grey had kept his word and more: he had not only ridden slowly but he had stopped and was waiting at an oak tree that was a cornerstone between two plantations.
 "That I may not kill you on your own land," he said.
 Frskine started. '"The consideration is deeper than you know"
 They hitched their horses, and Frs. kline followed into pleasant glade grassy glade through which mur- mured a. little stream. Erskine dropped the rapiers on the sward.

 "When you are ready" he said, twill you please let me know?"
 "Ready!" answered Grey, and he lunged forward. Erskine merely whipped at his blade so that the clang of it whined on the air to the break. ing-point and sprang backward. He was as quick as an eyelash and 1.-the as panther, and yet Grey almost laughed aloud. All Erskine did was to whip the thrusting blade aside and leap out of danger like flash of light It was like an inexpert boxer fail. ing according to rules unknown and Grey's face famed and actually turned anxious.

There is no greater humiliation for the ex. pert swordsman, and not for nothing had Erskine suffered the shame of that long-ago day when a primitive instinct had led him to thrusting his knife into this same enemy's breast Now, with his swords point on the earth, he waited courteously for Grey to recover his weapon. ..
 Again kindly fate intervened Even as Grey rushed for his sword Erskine heard the beat of horses

 'I 6m," said Erskine i've had nothing to 'eat since-since early morn." Barbara's eyes flashed upward and Grey was plainly startled. Was there slight stress on those two words? Erskine's face was as expres. sionless as bronze. Harry had bolted into the hall.
 Mrs. Dale, was visiting down the river, so Barbara sat in her mothers place, with Erskine at her right, Grey to her left, Hugh next to him, and Harry at the head. Harry did not wait long.
 "Now, you White Arrow, you Big Chief. tell us the story. Where have you been, what have you been doing, and what do you mean to do7 I've heard a good deal, but I want 1t all"
 Grey began to look uncomfortable, and so, in truth, did Barbara.
 "What have you heardT" asked Frs kline quietly.
 "Never mind." interposed Barbara quickly; you tell us."
 "Well," began Erskine slowly, "you remember that day we met some In. dians who told me that old Kahtoo, my foster-father, was i'll. and that he wanted to see me before he died? ] went exactly as would have gone had white men given the same message from Colonel Dale, and even for, bet. ter reasons.

As he snatched 1t from the ground and turned, with wicked smile over his grinding teeth, came Harry's shout, and as he rushed for Erskine, Colonel Dale swung from his horse. The sword-blades clashed, Erskine whipping back and forth in a way to make swordsman groan-and Colonel Dale had Erskine by the wrist and was between them.
 "How dare you, sirT cried Grey hotly.
 Just a moment, young gentleman" said Colonel Dale calmly.
 Let us alone, Uncle Harry-I-"
 "Just A moment" repeated the colonel sternly. "Mr. Grey, do you think it quite fair that you with your skill should fight a man who knows nothing about foils?'
 There was no other way" Grey said sullenly.
 And you could not wait, pre- sume?" Grey did not answer.
 "Now, hear what I have to say, and if you both do not agree, the matter will be arranged to your entire satis- faction, MT. Grey. I have but one question to ask. Your country is at war. She needs every man for her defense. Do you not think your lives belong to your country and that 1t is selfish and unpatriotic just now to risk them in any other cause" He waited for his meaning to sink in, and sink 1t did.
