This accomplished, he on toa baker’s sl at the next corner, and calling up an engaging smile, said tothe keeper, who was leaning ab- stractedly over the counter,— “Good evening, senor! | am, as you will see, the most unfortunate fellow in the world.” The baker looked at his seedy visitor with a dubious eye, as if he half fancied that he had come to beg, and yet was not quite confident of the truth of the suspicion **[ have an errand up the street,’’ added the man in Er", with the same suave smile, *‘ but unluckily I have lost the exact direction and the name.

As day broke on the following morning, the Marquis de Xerbano might have been seen lean- ing against the trunk of a hi locust in the small w eg mg for his meeting with Don Juan. | He was alone ; but calm and collected, and every nerve braced toa combative edge, but yet firm and confident. His eye kindled with pride as he reflected that | he was the first upon the ground; and a smile rose } to bis WG as he fancied, the mortification that would fill the breast of his rival at the discovery. Remembering that in the coming conflict had a skillfal swordsman to contend with, he lifted iP his weapon, and withdrawing the blade, carefully examined both the point and the edge. | This done, he stepped back and tried its temper agaiast the body of the locust. The steel yieided to the | poy of his hand till it assumed the shape of an inverted pear, and the point and hilt “- It will do!” he exclaimed, with an air of sat- isfaction. ** Yes, if its owner's hand and heart be made < as good stuff!" said a mocking voice behind him He recognised the tone, and quickly turning, beheld tae hewiod form of Don Juan, who, with folded arms, was proudly observing him. ** You are alone ?*? said the marquis. “The friend | had expected to accompany me was suddenly called from home,’’ returned Don Juan. + But where is yours ?”? widow's country pa in to-morrow. Many thanks. {and with it all unfriendly thoughts. “Tears | must look to this | Throughout the city curiosity was strong ; but 's | kitchen, ‘* Who is he??? were about the only words that fell upon the ear This was in part owing to the anxiety of the VOL.

And their swords crossed. The combatants each other warily, and ap- peared to be mutually conscious that the i mistake or want of caution was certain death. “You are giving ground!” cried Juan, mock- “*T prom- ingly. "t Kna your thrusts are worthy only of a girlish 35 replied the marquis. ‘‘ Where is your ted manhood? Did you leave it at home, se- nor, in your note?’’ Don Suan’s eyes flashed Hgitaing. ‘“‘ This is my answer!’’ he cried, through his nt teeth, as, after a few quick passes, he again unged fiercely at his foe. But the latter had his wits about him, and has- tily pushed aside the weapon, plunged his own into the young man’s chest, and then drew back. “* Why did you not drive it home?’’ demanded Don Juan, satirically. “The bone was in the bebe replied the mar- quis, “* but I will try and do better next time.” The combatants were now fairly aroused. The tapiers became, as it were, inextricably inter- twined—so rapid, skilful and energetic was their mutual play, till eventually they appeared to be but a single piece of steel, of which each combat- ant held an end. But this kind of work, as the man in gray sage- ly observed, could not last—it was too trying. uman strength could not endure it. Already Eben | ines beads of sweat were dcrepelea; every other instant, from the forehead of each cavalier. Their teeth were set, crating now and then with a dis- sonant harshness that was intolerable, especially | to the ear of the worthy up in the branches of the | locust, whose nerves it set on edge. Their | breathings, too, were becoming short, and quick and dry, while their faces had the peculiar pale- ness of men conscious that they are in extreti ity, but who would sooner die than yield or retreat. Don Juan felt that his wrist was gradually be- | coming weak and weaker, and that he could not | hold out much longer. As this conviction settled | in his mind—and certainly it was not a gratifying one—his eyes fairly glittered with rage, and has- tily unwinding his weapon from that of his an- tagonist, he stepped back and as suddenly darted | forward, and, beating aside the marquis’s rapier, | | made a desperate lunge. The latter, comprehending the idea of the , Movement, lightly fell back a single step, and evaded the thrust; then quickly twining hisown | sword with that of his panting Don Juan, he dex- | terousty twisted it from the grasp and sent it | whirling throuzh the air. In another instant his | Toledo was up fo the hilt in the breast of his ad- versary, who glared at him with an air of vaffled hatred, reeled. and then fell at len Ape sward, which ere long was c is blood. At sight of his was unmanned. sight of blood unnerved him. rostrate enemy, the ma rquis his was his first duel, and the His enmity fled, started to bis eyes, and throwing down his wea- pons, he rushed up to the dying man, and be seeching his forgiveness, gencrously tendered him his hand. Don Juan shrank from him with a vindictive frown, and gathering all his energies for a last effort, spit at him in mingled venom and defiance, and fell back—dead ! “I never shed blood before !*’ murmured the marquis, despondingly. as he slow prepared for his departure. -- And the memory of this sad in- stance will hang upon me, like au ever-present gloom, all my days!” | And dashing the spray from his lids, he moved, } witha — step, from the wood. 4 As he disappeared, the man in gray drop lightly from thre tree, and aj proaching the mea, laid his hand upon the heart, “*Gone—gone to '? he muttered, shaking his head. ‘+ And I’ll wager he hasn’t left enough in his oes to Las me for the trouble of emp- | tying them!

Let us respectfully withdraw, and prepare ourself for a visit to his excellency the viceroy.” CHAPTER ly. FURTHER PROFITS OF THE MAN IN GRAY. The daring feat of the mysterious stranger, in the preservation of the life of the Viceroy, was the one theme everywhere; that is to sa in the good city of Toledo. It created a general sensa- tion. But, unfortunately for public gossip, nobo- dy could tell the hero’s name. One thought he looked like a certain cavalier; another that he bore a striking resemblance to Don somebody ; a third, that he appeared like Don so-and-so’s son, or mip ose But none could say with certainty ; and therefore, for want of something better, they, by general consent, styled him‘ the myste fous stranger.’? at the Palace of the Viceroy it literally From the andience hall down to the Vice-oy himself upon this point, and partly to the favor which all knew was sure to follow to who- ever could answer the query. But the night wore | away, and the morning also, and the mysterious unknown still remained undiscovered.
