The fluctuation of the contest found the two parties alternately in the ascendant; and, at such periods, neith er exhibited much forbearance in the ex ercise of power.

It was a delicious madness that I felt, when I thought that in a few minutes only, I should see him lying under my feet. He knew his danger. He knew he couldn’t stand before me. He was afraid; dreadfully afraid, but be kept his senses. I could see him every now and then looking round to mark the dis tance between us, and then how I shout ed to him !
