dered whether ho would content himself with tho more
drawing of blood for 'twas sold .he could strike almost
' where ho listed or whether he was bent upon Forest's
death. But presently they began to notice that all his
tricks and feints were met by Forest with a quiet, deter
mined coolness. For many minutes Langloy pressed, but
always he failed to get behind the guard that Beemed to
be as wide and as high as Forest himself, and to consist
of not ono, but many bars of tested stool.
A candle fell from its place and, still alight, rolled along
tho floor until it stopped near Forest's feet The watchers
caught their breath; suppose ho should slip upon it or its
flamo should but almost quicker than their thoughts he
moved one foot and Bent tho candle rolling to the wall,
the impact with which put out its light And yet he had
not fora second moved his eyes from Langley's face, or.
made one false move In mooting tho tatter's attacks. The
soldlors at the door smllod knowingly. Tho others re
garded Forest with amazement, but no one spoke, only
some began to breathe harder even than the two who were
fighting.
Presently, at tho close of a more determined attack
by Langloy, which, as tho othors had done, failed. Forest
took a stop forward. Ills arm seemed to move a little
more rapidly than beforo, and, though Langloy tried not
to do so, be gave ground. Again and again ho was com
pelled to do this. Twico Lord Forest's rapier ripped bis
coat, once on tho left and once on tho right shoulder. The
onlookers thought at flrst that this was a raro accident,
that no man could uso a weapon with such deadly nicety,
in .the heat of conflict, until Langley's coat was again
rlppod by that darting tongue of stool, this Umo under the
left arm, and a moment thereafter under tho right.

boyish as to make it almost impossible to believe that be bad

Few words were wasted. As Forest drew Langley passed
