lage when the horses broke sadlenly
Into an awkward lumbering
[allop.
The moment Duchemin found,
its own feet in the swaying vehicle:
le leaped on the shoulders of the
ither and dragged him backwards
rom the box.
What followed was notveiy:
dear to him, a melange of Impreslons.
The mock-American fought'
Ike a devil unchained. The ani
nals at the pole ran away in-good
iarnest, that wretched barouche
oiled and pitched like a rudderess
shell in a crazy sea, the two;
uen floundered In Its well like
ish In a pall.
They fought by no rules, with
10 science, but bit and kicked and
;ouged and wrenched and struck
a best occasion offered and each l
o the best of bis ability. Dachenln
caught glimpses of a face1
ildeously distorted with working
eatures and disfigured with'
imears of soot through which inane
eyeballs rolled and glared luj
he moonlight.
Then a hand like a vice gripped;
lis windpipe, he was on his back
lis head overhanging the edge of
he floor, a thumb was feeling for
ine of his eyes. Yet it could not]
lave been much later when he and
lis opponent were standing and
iwayins: as one. locked in an em-;
race of wrestlers.
Still. Duohemln knew as many!
ricks of hand-to-hand fighting as!
he other, perhaps a few more, j
Vnd thon he was, no douht, In far|
letter condition. At all events the!
ellow was presently at his mercy;
n a hold that gave one the privll-i
ige of breaking his back at will.
I man of mistaken scruples,!
luchemln failed to do so. A thrust I
ind a kick, which he enjoyed In-1
inltely, sont the brute spinning
rnt to land on his head.
The fall should have broken his;
leek. At the worst It should have
itunned him. Evidently It didn't. I

Dunchemln knelt beside the
man, who welcomed blm with Jr
open , eyes and a wry. smile that ti
was almost as faint as bis Tolce.
' "It Is nothing, monsieur?a J
clean cut 1n the arm, with some J
loss of blood." - "
The young girl in whose iap
rested the. head of Monsieur
d'Aubrac sat back and watched t
Duchemln with curious, grare b
eyes In which traces of moisture J
glimmered,. "
"Had the animal at my mercy, 5

"when suddenly he drew that
knife, struck me and broke
away." &
"I understand." Dnchemln re- c
plied. "But don't talk. You'll *

The woman who had spoken to ?
him found and fetched It from no 3

blood was checked, a bandage. ?
With d'Aubrac disposed as com- 3
fortably as might be in the bar- S
ouche,. Duchemln turned to find 11
the other women ot his elbow. !
To (he eldest he offered a bow'
suited to her condition and a hand
to help her into the barouche. <"Madame

The gentle Inclination of the ?
aged head which acknowledged *
his courtesy was as eloquent of
her quality as he found the name
which she gave him in qflavoring o
accpts. n
"Madame de Sevenle, mou- ^
sieur."
"With madame's "permission: I

"Monsieur Duchemln has plac- _

looked up and bowed, murmuring.

to her whose voice of delightful
