Man of blood, your last hour has come?” * The last sentence was repeated in a shrill triimpct*tonb that made every hearer start! It deprived Stevens of the faculty of speech. He sat dumb and trembling like a sinner a the bar of the final judgment. The stranger youth contemplated him in scorn for a few seconds, and then said, in cut ting accents —“I had thought to slay you where you sit, you base wretch f but I disdain to kill even a njurderous coward without giv ing him a chance for his life. Poltroon, will you meet me in a fair combat?” A gkfun savage joy shot across Uic face Stevens os he answered—will. Name your time, place and seconds." “That 5s soon done," replied the stranger.— “Meet me to night, precisely at f2o’clock, at the ‘OKJ Waste House.” in the pine woods. live miles east from this place. Bring with 3*oll a single friend; I will contrive to have one also. We two only will enter the house, armed each with a bowie-knife or n dagger at our option. Onr friends will lock the door from thcoutside, swearing first on (he Holy Gospil to leave us atone for the space of 25 minutes. Arc you agreed?” “But the house to which you refer,” sug gested Stevens, “has not Invn inhabited ftir 8 years. The window anddoorsarc exceedingly strong, almost half covered with bars of iron, and arc. moreover, securely fastened so that we cannot possibly gain ■ admission. There fore it would be best to name some other place.” *•1 hare the key,” said the }*outh; arc you Batinflcd?” ‘•I am.” At this answer of the desperado, the voung man, without uttering another word, turned upon his heel and left the room; and mounting his horse, which had been hitched near the grocery door, rode slowly ott in au easterly di rection. ,-The rumor of this strange challenge and pro spective duel flew- around .the neighboring country like the wind, and two hours 'before the appointed time a Urge crowd of spectators were assembled, eager to witness the expected scene. It wftsanight without moon or sfars.,ofa thick pitchy darkness, with a drizzle or a light sifted rain from , the ebon clouds lowering over head.

At lasi both hands were per pendicular, one above the other, and directly over the figures XII. A sneering smile played around his coarse features, and be said aloud— “I am here at the time, but where is he?” Hardly had the words died on his lips, when a loud voice from the old houao shouted in a clear, reverberating tone—“ Here!” 1 A hey grated in the rusty lock, the bolt was drawn back, the door opened with a harsh creaking noise on its hinges, and the stranger stepped from the sill. Wo pause a minute to survey his friend,who was by his side. Ho was a stranger also ; a man of Herculean size. and exceedingly wild aspect. HiJ hair was lonp. coal black, and straight ns an Indian’s. Ills skin was smart ly sun-burned, almost copper-colored. His face and forehead, a huge mass of bonea.sharp ly projecting and repulsively ugly: and his dark eyes flashed rays tlfot seemed sparks of fire to scorch the beholder. Tho arrangements were immediately made for the duel. Thostranper stripped off his coat, vest and shirt, and licit a red silk hand kerchief around Ills waist. His weapon was a single long dagger, not very broad, but liccn ns a razor, a double-edged. .His other arms he handed to his friend. The weapon of Stevens was an onormous bowio-kuife. heavy as the war club of a savage. Tho stranger exacted on oath from the sec onds. that after the two fbes entered the house, they would neither open the door lhcmßclv**H f nor suffer any one else to open it. It was also agreed that all the spectators that bore torches should retire some twenty paces from the house so that no ray of light could penetrate through the crevicea In the wall to illuminate, however i feebly, the deadly gloom within. ■ All Iho preliminaries being lime ndjnuted, i the comlmlanta were placed by their acconda 1 in opposite comera of the room, when the Int- I lor withdrew, locked the door, and left tho ' foea alone with death. , I At (Irat they both alooped down, andatcnlth- ; ily untied and laid oIT their shoca, so as to make no noiao .in walking across tho floor. The same thought had struck them both at tho same timo-to mnmtmvro for the advantage. Tho young alranger moved in a circle, and softly aa a cat around tho room, till ho got within four feet of the corner where his enemy had drat been placed. Ho then paused to lis ten. I’or a few seconds he heard nothing in tbo graveliko silence but the quick beats of ma bwh heart. But presently there crept into his car n.scarccly audlhlp sound, as of suppressed breathing. In the opposite corner of the room, which hq hftd just left, IBs f° c was drying tho same stratpjbjnv . Thartianopuvrc waft repeated several,limes by both, and with a like result. At length tho jwipi. concluded to stand still and await tho approach of his adversary.

Steveps, at that time, was stooped for ‘ ward, thus seeking for the advantage, and' tho point of tho dagger by ft singular fatolv i ,ty. perforated his left oyo, and' pierced thjop in the -brain. He fell with a dull, heavy soun£ oft the floor, tto hud fought bis last battle.* The seconds waited with breathless anxiety . until the expiration of twenty-five minutes.— j Thcy.lhen unlocked the door, and the crowd rushed in with their flickering torches.

On his face was still the Same Vook. and the same mel ancholy smile. 11c seemed in fact to be con- j scions of nothing save bis o\vn dreamy thought, I that wandered through wide eternity. ) Tho spectators crowded with mute counk-[ nances of horror around llic mutilated corpse, ' and for a moment lost sight of the living foe; j till maddened at tho lamentable sight, some j ; one called out—“ Arrest the murderer !” Anil 1 1 all the crowd cried—“ Seize him—seize him !!” | ,k Thcy turned to seize him; but both he and his second had disappeared, and were no where to he seen.
