7TTm l we with a faint mlnelinK ot
' W"1 surprise. "My Itfe," i
By JEPFERY FARNOL
plained, "has been altogether a studious
one, with the altogether unnatural re
sult that I also am bound for Nowhere-in-Particular
with Just eight shillings and
sixpence In my pocket"
"And mine, as I tell you," aid ho,
"has been an altogether riotous one. Thus
each of us, though by widely separate
ronds you by the narrow and difficult
pth of Virtue, and I by the broad and
easy road of Kolly have managed to fln
our way Into this Howling Destitution,
which we will call Nowhere-ln-Partlcular.
Then how does your path of Virtue bet
ter my road of Evil?"
"The point to be considered." said I, "Is
not so much what we now are, but rather,
what we have done, and may ultimately
be and do."
"Well?" said he, turning to look at me
"For my own achievements hitherto,"
I continued, "I have won the high Jump
and throwing the hammer, also trans
lated the works of Qulntlllan, with the
Satyrlcon of Petronlus arbiter, and the
"Life, Lives and Memoirs of the Seigneur
de Brantome," which last, as you are
probably aware, has never before been
done Into the English."
"Ha!" exclaimed Mr. Beverley, sitting
up suddenly, with his Ill-used hat very
much over one eyo, "there we have ltl
Who ever heard of old Quln-what's-hls-namo,
or cared, except, perhaps, a
few bald-headed bookworms and with
ered litterateurs? While vou were dream
ing of life and reading the lives of other
fellows I was living It. In my career,
episodically brief though It was. I have
met and talked with all the wits and
celebrated men, havo drunk good wine
nnd worshiped beautiful women, Mr.
Vlbart."
"And what has It all taught you?"
said I.
"That there are an Infernal number
of rogues and rascals In the world, for
one thing and that Is worth knowing."
"Yea," said I.
"That, though money can buy nnythlncr,
from the love of a woman to the death
of an enemy, It can only be spent once
and that Is worth knowing also."
"Yes." eald I.
"And that I am a most preposterous
f ass I and that last, look you, Is more
valuable than all the others. Solomon,
I think, says something about a wise
man being truly wise who knoweth him
self a fool, doesn't he?"
"Something of the sort."
"Then," said he, flinging his hat down
upon the grass beside him, "what argu
ment can you advance In favor of your
'Nnrrow and Thorny'?"
"The sum of eight shillings and six
ponce, a loaf of bread arid a allco of
noble cheese, now no more," said I.
"Egad!" said he. looking at me from
the corners of his bltio eyes, "the argu
ment Is unanswerable, more especially
the cheese part, ngalnst which I'd say
nothing, even If I could." Having re
marked which ho lay flat on his back
again, staring up at the leaves and the
calm serenity of the sky beyond, while
I filled my negro-head pipe from my
paper of tobacco and forthwith began to
smoke.
And presently, ns I sat alternately
watching the blue wreaths of my plpo
and tho bedragfeled figure extended be
side mo, he suddenly rolled over on his
arm and so lay, watching me.
"On my soul!" ho exclaimed at length.
"It Is positively marvelous." "
"What Is?" I inquired.
"The resemblance between you and your
famous cousin."
"It would appear so," said I. shrug
ging my shoulders, "though personally
I was unaware of this fact up till now."
"Do I understand that you have never
seen Sir Maurlcq Vlbart, never seen
Buck' Vlbart?"
"Never!" said I.
"Too much occupied In keeping to the
narrow nnd thorny, I suppose? Your
cousin's Is the broad and flowery, with
a vengeance."
"So I understand," said I.
"Nevertheless the resemblance between
you. both In face and figure. Is" posi
tively Astounding! With the sole ex-
ceptlon that he wears hair upon his face
and is or a ruddy complexion, while you
are pale and smooth-cheeked as as a
boy "
"Or yourself!" said I.
"Ah exactly!" he answered, and passed
his fingers across' his chin tentatively
and fell again to staring lazily up Into
the sky. "Do you happen to know any
thing: about that most remarkable spe
cies of the 'genus homo' calling them
selves 'Bucks.' or 'Corinthians'?" he In
quired, after a while.
"Very little." said I, "and that only by
hearsay."
"Well, up to six months ago, I was one
of them, Mr. Vlbart. until Fortune, and
I think now wisely, decreed it other
wise," And herewith, lying upon "his back,
looking up through the quivering- green
of leaves, he told mad tales of a reckless
Prince, of the placid Brummel, of "Dash
ing" Vlbart. the brilliant Sheridan, of
,Fox, and Orattan, and many others,
wnoso names are now a byword one way
or the other. He recounted a story of
wild prodigality, of drunken midnight
orgies, of days and nights over the cards,
of wine, women and horses. But, lastly
and very reverently, he apoke of a wom
an of her love, and faith, and deathless
trust. "Of course," he ended, "I might
have starved very comfortably, and much
quicker. In London, but when my time
comes, I prefer to do my dying beneath
some green hedge, or In the shelter of
some friendly rick, with the cool, clean
wind upon ' my face. Besides She
loved the country."
"Then there are some women who can't
be bought?" sold I, looking at hhi glist
ening eyes.
"Mr. Vlbart," said he. "so far as, I
know, there are two the Lady Helen
Dunstan and the 'Glorious' Sefton."
"The Lady Sophia Seffcn of Cam
bourne?" said I.
"And the Lady Helen Dunstan," he
repeated.
"Do you know the" Lady Sophia Sef
ton?" "I have had the honor of dancing with
her frequently," he answered.
"And is she so beautiful as they say?"
"She Is the handsomest woman In
London, one of your black-browed, deep
eyed goddesses, tall and gracious, and
most nobly shaped; though, sir, for my
own part, I prefer less fire and Ice a
more gentle beauty."
"As, for instance, the Lady Helen
Dunstan?" sal,d I, ,
"Exactly!" nodded Mr. Beverley.
"lUferrlng to the Lady Sophia Sefton,"
I pursued, "she Is a reigning toast, I be
lieve?" 'Clad, yes! her worshipers are Iraion,
and chief among them his Royal Hlh
ness, and your cousin, Sir Maurice, who
has actually had the temerity to enter
the field as the Prince's avowed rival:
no one but 'Buck' Vlbart could be so
madly rash!"
"A most fortunate lady!" said I.
"Mr. Vlbart!" exclaimed my compan
ion, cocking his battered hat and regard
ing me with a amoulderlnjr eye, 'Mr.
Vlbart. I object to your tone; the noble
Sefton'a virtue Is proud and high, and
above even the breath of suspicion,"
"And yet my cousin would seem to be
no laggard in love, and as to the Prince
his glance Is contamination to a wom
an." "Sir," returned Mr. Beverley very
earnestly, "disabuse your mind of all un
worthy suspicions, I beg; your cousin
she laughs to scorn, and his Itoyal High
ness she-had rebuffed as few women have,
hitherto, dared do." i
It would almost seem," said I, after
a pause, "that, from what I have Inad
vertently learned, my cousin has some
dirty work afoot, though exactly what.
J cannot Imagine."
My dear Mr. Vlbart. your excellent
cousin if loievef up to owetWg r
other, nnd has escaped the well-merited
consequences, more than once, .owing to
his frlendshlD with, and the favor of Tus
friend"
"George?" said I.
"Exactly'" snld my companion, rais
ing himself on his elbow, nnd nodding:
"George,"
"Have you ever heard mention of Tom
Cragg. the pugilist?" I Inquired, blowing
a cloud of smoke Into the warm air.
"I won 10.000 guineas when he knocked
out Ted Jarraway, of Swansea," yawned
mv rnmnnnlnn! "a mii1 Aehtnv. hut ft '
rogue like all the rest of 'em, and
creature of your excellent cousin's."
"I guessed as much." I nodded, and
forthwith plunged Into an account of t
my meeting with the "craggy one." the
which seemed to amuse Mr. Beverley
mightily, more especially when I related
Cragg'a mysterious disappearance,
'Oh ,Trtt' n.lul n.MA.t.ll M'lntMI. fal

eyes on the tattered lapel of his coat.
"tho resemblance served you luckily
there; your cousin gave him the thrash
ing of his life, and poor Tom evidently
thought he was In for another. That was
the last you saw of him, I'll be bound,"
"No. I met him afterward beneath the
gibbet on Itlver Hill, where, nmontt other
Incomprehensible things, he gave mc to
understand that ho recognized mo despite
my disguise, assumed, as ho supposed, on
uccount of his having kidnapped some one
or othor. nnd 'laid out' a certain Sir Jas
per Trent In Wych street, according to
my orders, or rather, It would seem, my
cousin a orders, the author of whlcn out
rage Sir Jasper had evidently found
out "
"The devil!" exclaimed Mr. Bevcriey,
and sat up with a Jerk.
"And furthermore." I went on, "he In
formed mo that the Prince himself had
g'lven him the word to leave London until
the affair had blown over,"
Now while I spoke, Mr. Beverley had
been regarding me with a very strange
expression, his cheeks had gono even
paler than before, his eyes seemed to
stare through, and beyond me, nnd his
hands were tight-clenched at hla sides.
"Mr. Bevorloy," said I, "what alls you?"
For a moment ho did not speak, then
answered, with tho same strange look:
"Sir Jasper Trent Is my cousin, slrl"
My negro-head plpo slipped suddenly,
nnd fell Into the grass, happily without
injury.
"Indeed!" said I.
"Can you not see what this means, sir?"
he went on hurriedly. "Jasper will fight."
"indeed, said I again, "I fear so."
"Jasper wns always a bit of a flsh, and
with no particular affection for his grace
less kinsman, but I am his only relative;
And and he hardly knows one end of
pistol from the other, while your cousin
1 a. dead, shot.
"My cousin!" I exclaimed; "then It was
he to bo sure I saw only his back."
"Sir Jasper Is unmarried hns no rela
tions but myself," my companion repeat
ed, with tho same fixed Intentncss of
look; "can you appreciate, I wonder, what
this would mean to me?"
"Rank, and fortune, and London.'
said I. '
'No, no!" Ho sprang to his feet, and
threw wide his ragged arms with a swift,
passionate gesture. "It means Life and
Helen. My God!" ho went on, speaking
almost In a whisper, "I never knew how
much I wanted her how much I had wll
lully tossed aside till now! I never real
ized the full misery of It all till now!
I could have starved very well In time.
and managed It as quietly as most other
ruined fools. But now to see tho chance
of beginning again, of coming back to
self-respect and Helen, my God!" And,
of a Rurlilen, he cast himself upon his
face, and so lay, tearing up the grass by
handfuls. Then, almost as suddenly, he
was upon his feet again, and had caught
up his hat. "Sir," said he, somewhat
shamefacedly, smoothing Its ruffled nap
with fingers that Btlll quivered, "pray
forgive that little ebullition of feeling;
It Is over quite over, but your tidings
affected me, and I am not quite myself
at times; as I have already said, turnlDS
and unripe blackberries are not altogether
aeslrnDle as a diet."
"Indeed," said I, "you seemed strangely
perturbed.
"Mr. Vlbart." said he, staring very hard
at the battered hat, and turning It round
and round, "Mr. Vlbart, the devil Is sur
prisingly strong In some of us."
"True." said I.
"My cousin, S)r Jasper, Is a bookish
fellow, and, as I have said, a fool where
anything elm Is In question; If this meet
ing la allowed to take place, I feel that
he will most certainly be killed, and his
death would mean a new life more than
life tq me."
"Yes." said I.
"And for a moment, Mr. Vlbart, I was
tempted to sit down In the ditch again,
and let things take their course. The
dovll. I repeat. Is remarkably strong In
some of us."
"Then what Is your present Intention?"
"I am going to London to find sir
Maurice Vlbart to stop this duel."
"Impossible!" said I.
"But you see, sir, It so happens that I
am possessed of certain Intelligence
which might make Sir Maurice's exist
ence In England positively untenable."
"Nevertheless," said I, "It Is Impos-
sinie."
"That remains to bo seen, Mr, Vlbart."
said he, and, speaking, turned upon his
heel.
"One moment," said I; "was not your
cousin, Hir jasper, or tne middle height.
slim built and fair haired, with a habit
of plucking nt his lips when at all nerv

"Exactly! you know him, sir?"
-VI o, i answered, "but I have seen
him very lately, and I say again to stop
mis auei is an impossiDiiitjY'
-uo you mean " ho began and
paused, Now. as his eyes met mine, the
battered hat escaped his fingers and lay
all unheeded. "Do you mean" he
began again and again stopped.
"Y," said I, "I mean that you are
ton late. Sir Jasper was killed at a place
called Deepdene Wood, no longer since
than today at half-past 7 In the morn
ing. It was raining at the time, I re
member, but the day grew glorious
later.
For a long moment Mr. Beverlev stood
silent with bent head, then, apparently
becoming aware of the hat at his feet.
no sent n nying witn a sudden kick and
watched It describe a wide parabola ere
It disappeared into the ditch some yard
away, wnicn done, he walked after It

Willi ilia ruaueii cuii.
"And you are sure quite sure, Mr.
vioartT" he inquired, smoothing the
broken brim with the nuiut niiK,,
"I stood behind a hedge and watched
It done," said I.
"Then my God!-1 am Sir Peregrine
Beverley! I am Sir Peregrine Beverley

service. JaBper deadj A knight ban

How utterly prepostelfoua It ell sounds!
But today 1 begin life anew, ah. yes, a

"let us get back to our ditch, ami whii

Bo while i recounted the affair a
briefly p I might he tat puffing at my
pipe and staring away Into the distance.
But gradually hla head sank lower and
lower until hit face was quite hidden
from me, and for a long moment after
I had ended my narration there was
silence.
