Copyright, 1896, by CHAPTER IV. ' I put on my military overcoat, as I iflid not know how much of the night I might have to spend in the woods, and I fastened my sword on Inside of It. I put off my hussar boots also, and wore a pair of shoes and gaiters, so that I might' be lighter upon my feet. Then I stole out of my quarters and made for the forest, feeling very much easier In my mind, for I am always at my best when the time of thought has passed and the moment for action arrived. I passed the barracks of the Chas seurs of the guards and the line of cafe all Ailed with uniforms. I caught I "N.' 1 'I 1 Sow That I Was Not the First to Arrive a glimpse ad I went by of the blue and gold of some of my comrades amid the ewarm of dark Infantry coats nnd the light green of the guides. There they sat, sipping their wine and smok ing their cigars, little dreaming what their comrade had on hand. . One of them, the chief of my squadron, caught sight of me? Iri the lamplight, and came shouting after me into the street. I hurried on, however, pretending not to hear him; so he, with a curse at my deafness, went back at last to his wine bottle. ' It Is not very hard to get Into the forest at Pontalnebleau. The scattered trees steal their way Into the very streets, like the tirailleurs in front of a column. I turned Into a path which led Into the edge of the woods and then . I pushed rapidly .forward toward the old fir tree. It was a place, which, as I have hinted,' I had my own reasons fur knowing well, and I could only 'thank the fates that It was not cue of the ii 11 WE iHIl 1 FEW Irvine Bachollor. nights Upon which Leonle would be waiting for me. The poor child would have died of terror at the sight of the empsror. He mlKht have been oo harsh with her and, worse still, he might have been too kind. There was a half moon shining, and as I came up to our trystlng place I saw that I was not the first to arrive. The emperor was passing up and down, his hands behind him and his facj sunk somewhat forward upon his breast. He wore a gray great co, with a xa.pota over his head. I Jul seen him In such a dress in our winter can-Lalgn In Poland, and It was said ho used It because the hood was sutli 8n excellent dlpgulse. He was always for.d. whether In the camp or In Paris, of walking round at night and' over. hearing the talk In the cabarets orround the fire3. His figure, howeve-, and his way of carrying his head were ho well known that ho war always recognised, and then the talkers would Just say whatever they thought would pleaua Urn best. I, was afraid th'i he would be nngry with nw for having kept him waiting, biit as I approached him we heard tho big church clock of Fomtalneblcau clamg out the rwur of 10. It was evi dent, th-.refofs, 'that li was he who was too scon, and not I too late. I remem bered his Injunction that I should make no remark, so I contented myself with haltiny within four paces of him, click ing my spurs togeither, grounding my tobre ami saluting. He glanced at me, and then without a word he turned and walked slowly through the forest, Gilmore's Aromatic Wine A tonic for ladies.

Once or twice he seemed to me to look apprehensively to right and to left, as if he feared that some one were observing us. I looked also, but, although I have the keenest sight, it was quite Impossible to see anything except the ragged patches of moonshine between the great black shadows of the trees. My ears are as quick as my eyes, and once or twice I thought that I heard a twig crack, but you know how many sounds there are In a forest at night, and how difficult It Is to even say what direction they come from. We walked for rather more than a mile, and I knew exactly what our des tination was long before we got there. In the center of one of the glades there Is the scattered stump of what must at some 'time have been a most gigan tic tree. It is called the Abbot's Beech, and there are bo many ghontly stories about It that I know many a brave soldier who would not enre about mounting sentinel over It. However, I cared as little for such folly as the em peror did, so we crossed the glnde and made straight for the old broken trunk. As we approached, I saw. that two men were waiting for us beneath It. When I first caught sight of them they were standing rather behind lit, as If they were not anxious to be seen, but as. we came nearer they emergd from lts shadow and walkd forth to meet us. The emperor glanced at me, and slackened his pace a little, bo that I came within arms length of him. You may think that I had my hilt well to the front, and that I had a very good look ait these two pjople who were ap proaching us. The one was tall, re markably bo, and of a very spare frame, while the other was rather be low the usual height, and had a brisk, determined, way of. walking. They ench wore black cloaks, which were slung right across their figures and hung down upon one side like the mantles of Mu rat's dragoons. They had flat black caps, like those which I have since cen In Spain, which thew their faces into darkness', though I could see the gleam Of their eyes from, beneath them. With the moon behind them and their long, black shadows walking In front, th'jy were such figures as one might expect to meet at night near tho Abbot's Beech. I can remember that they had a stealthy way of moving, and that as they approached the moonshine formed two' white diamonds between their legs and the legs of their shad ows. The emperor had paused and these two strangers came to a stand also within a few paces of us. I had drawn up close to my companion's elbow, so that the four of us were facing each other without a word spoken. My eyes were particularly fixed upon the taller one, because he was slightly the nearer t.) me, and I became certain as I watched him that he was In the last state of nervousness. His lean figure was quivering an over, and I heard a quick, thin panting like that of a tired dog. Suddenly, one of them gave a short hissing signal. The tall man bent his back and his knees like a diver about to spring! but before he could move I. had Jumped with drawn sabre In front -of him.. At the same Instant the smaller man bounded past me, and buried a long polnard In the emperor's heart. ... My Qod, tho horror of that moment! It la a marvel that I did not drop dead myself. Aa Ln a dream I caw the gray coat whirl convulsively round and caught a glimpse In the moonlight of three Inches of red point which Jutted out from between the shoulders. Then down he fell with a dead man's gasp upon the grassand the assassin, leav ing his weapon buried ln his victim, threw up both his hands and shrieked with Joy. But I I drove my sword through his wldrlff with such frantic force that the mere blow of the hilt against the end of his breastbone sent him six Inches before he fell, and left my reeking blade ready for the other. I sprang upon him with such a lust An Instant Afterward Ho Was In Full Flight. for blood upon me as I had never felt, and never have felt ln all my days. As I turned a dagger flushed before my eyes, nnd I felt the cold wind of It pass my neck and the villain's wrlt Jar upon my shoulder. I shortened my sword, but he winced away from mo, and an Instant afterward was In full flyhit, bounding like a dtvr ncross the glade In the moonlight. But he was not to escape me thus. I knew that the murderer's poniard had done Its work. Young as I was I had seen enough war to know a mortal blow. I paused bult for an Instant to touch the cold hand.' "Sire! Sire!" I cried ln an agony, and then, as no sound came back, and nothing moved save an ever-widening dark circle In the moonllnght, I knew that all was, In deed, over. I sprang madly to my feet, threw oft my great coat and ran at the top of my speed after the re maining assassin. Oh, how I bUssed the wisdom which had caused me to come in shoes and gutters.

So It was that gained upon him from the beginning. Ho must! have been out of h!a wits, for he never tried to bury himself In the darker parts of the woods, but he flew on from glado to glade until he came to the heath land which leads up to the gmvt Fon talnebleau quarry. Thus I had him In full sight, and knew that he could not escape me. He ran well, it Is true ran as a coward runs when his life Is the stake. But I ran as Destiny runs when It gets behind a man's heels. Yard by yard I drew In upon hlm. He wan rolling and staggering. I could hear the rasping and crackling of his breath. The great gulf of the quarry suddenly yawned In front of his path, and, glanc ing at me over his shoulders, he gave a shriek of despair. The next Instant be had vanished from my sight. IT Coats' Pins, all Pins, all Sewing Knitting Vanished utterly, you understand. I rushed to the spot and gazed down Into the black abyss. Had he hurled him Belf over. I had about made up my mind that he had done so, when a gen tle sound rising and falling came out of the darkness beneath me. It was his breathing once more, and It showed me where he must be. He was hiding in the toolhouse. Alt the edge of the quarry and be neath tho summit there Is a small plat form, upon which stands a wooden hut for the use of the laborers. It was Into this, then, that he had darted. Per haps he had thought, the fool, than ln the darkness I would not venture to follow him. He little knew Etienne Gerard. With a spring I was on the platform, with another I was through the doorway, and then hearing him in the corner, I hurled myself down upon the top of him. He foughft like a wildcat, but he never had a chance with his shorter weapon. I think that I must have transfixed Mm with that first mad lunge, for though he struck and struck his blows had no power ln them, and presently his dagger tinkled down upon the floor. When I was sure thalt he was dead I rose up, and passed out Into the moonlight. I climbed up onto the heath again, and wandered across It as nearly out of my mind as a man could be. With the blood singing In my ears and my naked sword still clutched In my hand I walked aimless ly on, until, looking round me. I found that I had come as fnr as the glade of the Abbot's Beech, and Faw In the dlntnnce that gnarled stump which must ever be associated with the most terrible moment of my life. I snt down uM)n a fallen trunk with my sword across my knees, and my head between my hands, and I tried to think about whalt had happened, and what would happen In the future.
