having stationed Louspillao, the com
batants stood back to back
Beautrand having woo tin
f
the word, then gave it. Ooe. two, throe,
fire ! and the struggle commenced.
Louspillao moved forward slowly and
cantiously, following th turn oft.be mill
Darlington did not move st all. but ap
plied himself to listen to the slightest in
dieation that would inform him of the
moment when bis adversary, bavin.;
ma le the circuit, and eiiioriin; oti hi
side of tho mil!, they would inevitably
meet
It was a moment of in'ensi anxiety.
Tho oars of the combatants were on the
alert to catch the sligh test sotaid
by which they could win an advantage
The felt slippers of Louspil'nie permitted
him to move over the ground without
producing the least souti 1. It was the
knowledge ot this advantage of Loa-piL
lac's tin kept Darlington immovable, as
tho creaking of his boots would betray
him.
Louspillao had ootne to within a few
feet of Darlington. Hi felt certain ha
must be apprnachini; Djriinsitiin, and he
flioved forward with the greatest c uttioii,
MI his power wero exerted, every nervn
on tho stretch to gain, if only by I
t breath of wind, some knowledge of his
antagonist's posititm.
It was at this moment that tho ear of
Darlington cao-zht tho sound of the
touching of LotHmllao' coat artist

sound, he dropped slowly on one knee.
