Warren caught his adversary’s spade about midway of the hantlle with the blade of his éwn, and, holding tha edge of his blade against the shank of the other, with a deft and powerful movement tried to wrench it from Golding’s hands, somewhat as a swordsman might ‘try 'to disarm his antagonist. Golding hung on like grim death, and, carried along partly by the force of his own attack.and more by the added impetus of Warren's parry, he hop- ped around in a semi-circle, the spades re- maining interlocked, before heirecovered his balance and drew away His crude weapon. Each man had dropped his rake as a fragile and useless incumbrance. It did not occur to elther of them «in the heat of the moment that they were fighting a most singular battle. To them the peaceful im- plements of agriculture were as broad- swords, and each saw in the other a foe as hateful and determined as ever he had faced in genuine war. Golding had at- tacked on the impulse of his terrible pas- Golding Staggered Back. sion, and Warren was stirred by it, not only to self-defense, but to all the fury of ag- gressive combat. Golding made a feint with his spade as if he would catch his enemy in the abdomen, and as he saw from Warren's eyes that such a blow would be parried he Instantly changed his maneuver and thrust straight for Warren's face. The Granite farmer, however, was as keen in reading his ad- versary’s intentions in his eyes, and up he brought his spade, catching and raising it so that Golding’s blade fanned his face, but did not touch it. At the same instant Gold- Ing being momentarily unguarded, Warren thrust forward with both hands upon the handle of his spade and landed it with great force upon Golding’s chest. Golding gasped violently and stiggered back. Warren, had he been younger, might out his enemy with a single swinging blow, but, although he was not an old man, years of farm work had stiffened his muscles, and before he could accomplish this moveraent Golding had recovered and was at him again, s "The vigor with which he had begun the combat and the skill and strength with which Warren had resisted, made both men wary, and for a moment they faced each other, felnting and watehing. ‘The edges of their spade blades ‘clicked and ting- tanged as they sparred ’for Spenings, and, en Golding thought hg say one, he bore sard down en Warren’s spade and tried again to thrust toward Nis fave. Again Warren parried the thrust and again the spades hung together for a second, while each tried to disarm the other. Then they broke away and each retreated a pace, for the other's power, so far cooled their passions that they wer inclined to combine tion, with attack. And in that instant of¢ unintended t e each man saw the blind folly of their fi With his eyes still on?Warten and ever nerve prepared for further conilict if neces- Warren remained standing, with his spade leaned upon it, breathing heavily, while Warren remained standing with is spade half raised, his attitude ‘one! of defense. “Haven't we had about enough of this?” ed Golding. ‘Speak for yourself,” retorted Warren. ‘ou haven't made me holler.” For an instant it seemed as if Golding would be voked by this taunt into renew- ing hostilities. His fingers clutched his spade handle convulsively and his brows contracted ominously. Better sense pre- yailed, however, and he responded m not hollering myself. 1f you want more fight you can have it.” _ “[ didn’t begin it," said Warren by way of acknowledging that he didn’t care to continue. “You fight like a soldier,” remarked Gold- md thé exertion hai I am a soldier,” returned Warren, proud- “I fought all through the war.” I might hava known it by the way you handled your spade.

And Golding grinned, as if he raw something then have followed his advantage and laid. for each had come to have a high respect | ludicrous in the scrimmage that had just taken place. “You're a soldier, too?” lowering his spade at last. “Yes, I fought through the war, too; that is, most of it. I got knocked out early in the Wilderness.” “I was in the Wilderness, from start to finish.” “You were! Wonder if ‘twas your shot that did for me?” Warren looked a little puzzl “I was in the Union army,” he said; “and for a long time my closest comrade was Freeman Dutton.” “G-r-e-a-t S c-o-t-t!"” exclaimed Golding, slowly; and he gazed at his adversary with new interest. “I was on the other side, and it was my bayonet that fixed Fre2- man.” 5 “You were the man, then, that ho had the hand-to-hand tussle with In which he sot the worst of it?” “T was that same.” There was a moment of silence. “We drove you back after that,” sald Warren, presently; ‘‘and in the lull that followed I hunted up my comrade. He ap- peared to be dying. Before he could be re- moved you fellows were at us again, and we left Dutton in your lines that night. I supposed he was dead. He was so re- ported, and—” “What else?” interposed Golding eagerly, as Warren paused. “I never saw or heard of him again un- til last night.” “I felt proud of my success with him," sald Golding, after another pause; “and when we had recovered the ground you had taken from us, I hunted for him.” “You wanted to make sure and finish | him, I suppose.” “No, sir! I'm rot that kind of a soldier. No; I did want to see if I had finished him, and when I found him still alive_I did everything that one soldier can do for an- other to help him. I gave him the last drop from my canteen; I got the surgeon, who was a personal friend of mine, td at- tend to him early. He got just as good care as any one of our men, and when next day I got a shot in the leg I was taken to the cot next to his In the hospital. The war was over when we recovered. We became friends and partners till me. It was Golding’s turn to pause and War- ren’s to ask eagerly, “What else?” “Till some little time ago in Africa, I was going to say, but he and I are partners still, Mr.- Warren, partners now, and I in- tend to keep an eye to his interest and re- venge his death if he dies here!” Had it not been for circumstances but partially understood by either of these men, the deadly feud upon which they had entered might have come to an end right there and then in this interchange of ex- periences. The old-time enmities of war had nothing whatever to do with their pressent feelings; on the contrary, the memories of former conflicts had tended promptly to cool their ‘passions and bring them sely together. The soldier of the south, ‘partner of the soldier of the north, might easily have become the friend of this other northerner, respecting his courage, admiring his strength, and finding every- thing pleasing in his character, but there were the diamonds, and there were other things of mysterious import that kept them apart. From the moment when Warren had men- tioned Dutton’s name, Golding had studied his face, and racked his brain for some memory that cluded him. He had suspect- ed almost from the time when he discover- ed that Dutton had suffered foul play that Warren was the guilty man, led thereto“in the first instance by the remark that War- ren had let fall when his wife carried the unconscious man from the burning cabin. ‘The cloud upon his suspicion had been the extreme improbability that Warren knew said Warren, Golding Set Forth Down the Winding Road. akcut Dutton’s diamonds. extort from Warren an admission that he krew of them had failed, and other motives for hostility between the two he could not even guess. Suddenly there flashed upon his memory the scene that had eluded him, and then, though there were still points of doubt, de- tails* that he could not understand as yet, he was positive, nay, he knew that Nich- olas Warren had attempted the life cf Freeman Dutton. As much seems to he accomplished in a dream of a second’s duration, so the memory sets forth in a single impression what it may have taken All attempts to hours of action and conversation to effect in the first instance. Golding saw a lonely camp in the wilds of Mashonaland, wherein a Union and a con- federate soldier lay battling with the silent eremy, fever. It was a case of sick caring fer the sick. There was no other white man, for aught they knew, within hun- dreds of miles. These two who had fouzat one another’upon the field of battle, each summoning death as his ally, now faced the grim destroyer with fortunes and hopes bound together. He had no terrors for them, but in his presence, with his damp breath upon their hot brows, words were spoken that might have remained unuttered had further life seemed possible. Nature prevailed, and in due time death withdrew, relinquishing for a period the claim he held upon these two soldiers. The ecnfidences of that solemn hour, when dis- sclution seemed imminent, were never re- ferred to by either. They had beén life secrets, and while iife endured, so should the secrets. it was in this spirit that Golding had dis- missed the story told to him in half de- Urlum by his partner, Freeman Dutton. In his own fever the details had not made an over-clear impression, and now after a lapse of years he strove almost in vain to recall them. In spite, however, of the haze through which he saw again that scene in the African wilderness, in spite of the con- fusion in which Dutton’s words came back And Began to Feel in the Grass. to him, he felt that he had retained the sa- lient features of the narration. There was enough in it, provided he could establish certain identities and recall certain names, to account for any hostility, however vio- lent, that Nicholas Warren might manifest toward Freeman Dutton. It had occurred to Golding, while the heat of his combat with Warren was passing, that he might make an ally of this brave and stubborn adversary, for he had not then seen that other motives than greed might account for the attempt to put Dut- ton out of the way. Now it was clear that they must remain enemies, for Warren was not to be trusted. This was Golding’s rea- soning, and though he spoke emphatically of his purpose to revenge Dutton’s death, should it occur here, that was by no means his ultimate purpose or his chief incentive. In truth, revenge, if that really entered in- to Golding’s calculations, would be directed rather against Dutton himself than against his would-be slayer. For the present Gold- ing was debating how best to take advan- tage of the situation, with a view to get- ting possession of Dutton’s diamonds. Warren had made no refponse to Gold- ing’s last speech. He had picked up rake, and was wondering who could have searched the ashes. It was certain that Golding had not. Wuho else in this vicinity knew of Dutton’s diamonds? The tramps of whom Will Spencer had spoken? Pos- sibly. If so, had they found the jewels? Come what might he would not take Gold- ing into his confidence. “T’ve little to-tell,” thought Mr. Warren, “and that Ittle might sound more like fabrication than the truth. Let him hunt in his own way, and the sooner he learns to let me alone, the better.” Golding was so a¥scrbed in vis refies- ticns that it did not occur to him to raise @ question as to who had swept up the ashes of the cabin. He had no reason to suspect other than Warren himself. 80 he, we picked up his rake, and remarked iron- . s Iv: “We're gotting to a much better under- standing, Mr. Warren. Whatever else has happened, and whatever Freeman may have done to you, you are after his dia- monds, and I'm no. judge of appearances if it isn’t the fact that you haven’t found them yet.” “What do you mean,” asked Mr. War- ren, sharply, “by whatever Freeman may have done to me?” “Guess, as you northerners say,” re- sponded Golding, “I don’t use words for nothing.” Warren frowned upon him, and a feeling of fear came over the northern soldier who could still fight a known foe without a sense of anxiety. Golding interpreted the frown correctly, and satisfied that he was gaining a hold upon Warren, he shouldered his tools and prepared to go down the mountain. “Suppose I am after the diamonds,” said Warren, “that doesn’t mean that I-want them for myself. If they belong to Dutton they’re his'n, and I don’t intend that any- body shall have them, least of all a stranger who comes along making trouble and claiming a partnership that 1 don’t know anythirg about.” Golding gave a contemptuous laugh. . “It’s not worth while disputing with you on that point,” he said. “I know human nature, and I know the man or woman don’t live who could resist the president.” “Well,” suggested Warren, his heart beat- Ing fast with excitement, as he attemp.ed @ little ruse, “you've no idea that Dutton won carry such valuable jewels about “Haven't, eh?” retorted Golding, fallin into the trap. “Why, I remember one straight month when Freeman carried the president round with him in his vest pocket. If you haven't got that diamond, Warren, somebody has who hasn’t any right to it, and let me warn you that possession of such a stone is in itself proof of guilt unless you can fully prove your right to it. The presi- dent can be Identified easily by those who have Been it” vith this Golding set forth down the winding road, and Warren saw him disap- pear with a keener sense of excited hope and fear than he had ever known. The president had been carried in Dutton’s pocket for a month! That was probably in Africa.

Was it not alto- gether likely, then, that he, Nicholas War- ren, had had this wonderful jewel in his hand but a few hours before? And now— had it been thrown away with rubbish, or had Dr. Nason appropriated it?

Golding turned his head to look at it as he went, but he showed no disposition to enter. Warren hurried on. There was just a bare chance that the catch-all had been emptied with a toss from the chamber window. All in the house were probably now asleep, and he could search under the window unobserved. He proceeded cautiously up the path and turned to the left just before he reached the door. Yes! there on the dewy grass was a shred of red worsted, just such a fragment as he remembered was on the top of the odds and ends in the catch-all.
