Tho youug man took tho portrait and
nt the wuno timo handed hiiu his own,
Kach looked 111 silence at the portrait in
his lmnd—in n sllenco of amazoment, of
stupefaction. Tho two portrait* repr-.
son ted the same person!
Quimvyn was the llrst to break the
silence.
“What I” ho said, drawing n deep
breath and bursting into a low laugh,
which was both flerco and glad, “you,
wiik it? To think that I have found yen
after all 1 Fate Is kinder to me than I
fancied.”
Tho other returned his gnxe.
“Well,” lie said, “it was I, itappenrs;
though I never knew it, nor suspected
it. Aud,” he added simply, “it has
been no one's fault.”
“No one's fault?”
“No, no cue’s. Mary 8cldon liked
you, but sho did not love you, and when
we met *ho found out hor mistake.
You frightened her with your mad
humors. Without mentioning your
natnc she told mo the wholo story. You
could not make her lmppy, and I could;
that’s tho wholo case. Do you blame
her!”
“No,” sold Quixarvyn, thrusting tho
portrait hack into his breast, “I don’t
But I have sworn to bo equal with tho
nmn who turned hor mind ugainst mo—
I will never bolievo ho ncted by fair
means—and l am going to do it. De
fend yourself; I givo you warning,"
Both men sprang to their feet at tho
saino instant, aud stood glnrlng nt each
other. At that moment tluro was
heard outside the church tho rattle of a
drum.
Only tho rattle of a drum. But tho
Hound struck them motionless os liguros
turned to stone. Nor was the clTect ou
heir companions less remarkable. There
was a inninuut's sllenco in tho church,
deep us the silence of the dead; then a
movomout—a long t hi ill of horror. That
summous meant that day whs breaking,
and that tliclr hour was coine.
Tho guards set instantly to work to
prepare the first hatch of prisoners to ho
led out of the church. l)nre and Quix-
nrvyn wero among tho first seized. With
about a dozen others they were murchod
into the open air. Tho gray dawn was
scarcely giving way to the first streaks
of sunrise as they passed out of the
churchyard gatos; hut tho wholo village
was wide awake nnd in a tumult of ex
citement; indeed, thoro had been little
sleep that night. Every window was
alivo with terror-stricken gazers ns the
party of doomod men, surrounded by a
baud of soldiers, wore hurried through
tho narrow streets nnd out upou the
open moor.
At the border of the moor sat nn
ofllcer on horseback, surrounded by a
troop of soldiers. Here tho party
halted aud tho gunids saluted. Tho
ofllcer was n man of about forty, whose
dandified appearance, which was as trim
as that of a toy soldier newly painted,
showed cddly in the midst of soldiera
stained with haftlo. This was Lord
Foversham—a mnn in whose nature
vanity, callousness and love of pleasure
ware about equally combined, ilisfaco
wits gay with pleasant expectation ns the
rebels were drawn up before him.
“Good!” lie remurked. “Those were
all ringleaders, wero they? Sergeant
John, draw up your firing party and
shoot down every man of them.”
The order was instantly ohoyed. The
•firing party was draw up; tho prisoners
worn ranged in lino at a few paces dis
tance. At ouo extremity of the line
David Dare and John (Quixarvyn found
themselves once more sldo hy sido.

QUIXAHVYNYS RIVAL.

moor's battle had
been fought and lost.
^ Night had come
m;nin,nnd in the old
gray church of Wes
ton Zoyland 500 of
the beaten rebels lay
imprisoned.
Tho scene iusido
the church was nor
fill in its weird im
Trrjwav\Os piessivonesH. Tho
* Vi. lurid glaro of a fow
torches which were stuck nt intervals
ngaiust the pillars revealed tho forms o(
men sitting nnd lying on tho scats aud
floor in every attitude of dojection nnd
despair. Up nnd down thcuisles the iron
■ ’noil heels of tho sentries rang upon the
pavement. The greater part of the prison
ers were silent,or only moaning with tho
pniuof recent wounds; somo wero pray
ing ; one was raving,mad with terror. And
in truth he and Ins companions had good
cause for fenr, for their conqueror was
Foversham, tho General of the Royalists,
whose only mode of dealing with a rebel
was to hang or shoot him without moro
ado, nnd who was only waiting for tho
daybreak to begin the work of slaughter.
A fow only kept their resolution-*
among thorn two were sitting together
iu the shadow of the pulpit steps. Both
of theso con had been conspicuous in
the light, and both knew well that they
must die at daybreak.
The older of tho two was a mnu of
about thirty-live, with powerful thick
set fiame. aud stroug nnd ruggod fea
tures; a had man to have against one,
ono might say. Ho was by trado n horse-
breaker, aud a great part of his business
was to break in the wild colts of the
marsh. Ills companion was some six or
eight years younger. His liguro was tall
and slight, hut finely made, nnd Ins fnco
was singularly handsome. Ife was the
swiftest runner iu tho West of England,
perhaps iu the whole kingdom. His natijo
was David Dare; that of tho older n.an
Johu Quixarvyn. Both were natives »f
the town of Axbridge,but, until the d/.y
before, they had been strangers to eecli
other. Chance hid made them comr'.dus
in the contest, where they had feught
side hy sldeaud where the same troop of
Royalists had seized them both.
Tho two were silent. Quixarvyn had
pulled out a short black pipe, hud filled
aud lighted it and was now smoking
tranquilly. llis companion hud also
pulled out something from his breast,hut j Feveudinm's right huinl observed them.
“I know those two,” lie said, point
ing to them with his finger. “Pity two
such fellows should ho done for. One
of them 1e tho best runner in the coun
try side, and the other tho best rider.”
“Ehf What?” shid Fcvershnm, stand
ing up 111 his stirrups. “Hold thoro a
moment, Sergeant; I spy n chance of
gallant sport. What say you, Major?—
a race In tween these two across the
moor, the ono ou foot, the other mount
ed. Will you hack tho runner?''
The Major was a mnn of some human
ity. Ho reflected for a moment.
“Agreed I” he said. “And to insure
that both shull do their best lot the win-
ucr have the promise of his life.”
Fevershatn received this proposal with
by no means a good grace, for to spare a
rebel hurt him to the soul. But the
delightful prospect of seeing two men
racing for their livos and of being able,
after all, to shoot tho looser, at length
reconciled him to the scheme. He guvo
his orders aud tho two prisoners were
led out of the line.
Out upon the moor, about a quarter
of a mile u.vny, stood a solitary tree.
This wus selected as the starting poiut.
A double line of troopers wus drawn up
stretched from the tree to thespot where
tho General was stationed, leaving u
space b( tween them like a racecourse
some yards wide. At the end of the
course Feversham and the Major sat op
posite each other. Whichever of the
two competitors should past between
them fhst would he rewarded with his
life end liberty.
And what were the sensatious of the
pair while these preparations were in
progress?
David Dare, standing before tbc mus
kets of the firing party, had heard tho
strange proposal with a sudden thrill of
hope, so keen that it wis almost like a
pain. Then for a moment his heart fell
again, lie knew his own speed of foot,
hut he knew atso that uguinut u fleet
horse urged by a skillful rider spurring
for dear life his cliunco was likely to hi
small. Still there was hope again and he
could do his best. More he could not
it was not a pipe; it was tho pea trait of
a beautiful young girl. He took a long
look at the lovely face,a look which sum
farewell.
Quixarvyn watched him. In the dim
light iu which they sat I10 could not see
the features of the portrait, but he
guessed how the casesiood.
“Poor fellow!” he said, with more
tenderness than would have been ex
pected from his looks. Then, after a
minute’s silence, ho went ou, as much
to himself as to the other. “And yet
my case is harder. I was in love—Iain
in love, God help me!—aud I also have
her portrait iu my breast. What would
I give if I could look on it as you can
look on yours!”
Dare looked nt him with interest.
“What!" he Enid, “have you also the
same trouble—a poor girl who will go
distracted when she hears of what has
happened to you?”
“No,” said the other bitterly; “sho
will not go distracted; she has had
enough of me, and 1 shall have the pain
ol dying unrevenge I upon tho knave
who robbed me of her.”
It was strauge to see how in a mo
ment his eyes had grown ublnzQ with
passion. The young inun looked at him
in astonishment.
“Who was it? ’he inquired.
“Who was it?” echoed theothci. “Do
you think if I knew thn; that I should
now have cause to writhe at dying with
out crying quits with him?’ No, I do
no* know him. I only know she loved
nu *» that she cooled towaid me; that
when I asked her plainly whether she
had found a younger nhd a better look
ing man she confessed that it was true
aitd threw herself upon my generositv to
fi t her free from our engagement. I
d d so—in a frer.zy of mad passion. But
when I asked her for his name she would
uot tell me, fearing, I dare say, that I
might twist his neck. I should soon
have found him,but then this war broke
out nnd iu rny rage I could not keep
myself from rushing to the tight to cool
iny blood with blow*. And so here I
am, going to be shot ut daybreak. But uvmi , „„ wum IJIIt

breast ucd held it out to his companion, couple of soldiers to the starting point.
“Look, he said, “is this u face to jilt ! Unlike his rival,Quixarvyn's face showed
no elation. For ono moment, on hear
ing tho proposal, a gleam had come Into
his eyes, hut now lie rodo with down
bent head, as if lost in thought. A sen

In his lioad —tho sentence usod by I)nro
in their quarrel in tho church—“You
could uot make her happy,and I could.”
Ho muttered the words ovor twenty
times. It was uot until tho tree was
reached and the horse was hnlted with
his head toward tho spot where Fever
sham, discernible far off between the
line*, sat waiting, that he stnrtcd, roused
I himself, and lookod about him.
David Dare was standing on his right,
stripped to the wniBt and without his
; shoes, ready for thn starter’s signal.
I Quixarvyn’s guard* dropped the horse’s
j bridle; nnd Sergeant John, who stood
■ botwcon tne two competitors, drew a
I pistol from hit belt to glvo tho signal.
Tho excitomont at that motii^it was
I intense. Not a sound was heard in the
still morning air,hut all down tho doublo
lines wore faces fixed intently on tho
two competitors. Fevershatn and tho
Major, with glasses at their oyes, sat
motionless as statues.
TI10 Sergeant raised his pistol. The
report rang out.
At tho same instant horso nnd man
shot out togother from tho mark. At
first tho runner, practiced at flying from
tho start, aud having loss momentum
than the horse, drew out In front. In a
fow seconds lie was somo twonty yards
ahead. Then tho gap between thorn
ceased to widen; then it was seen to be
dvcieasing; tho horse was gaining—
*lowly nt llrst, hut gaining surely, stride
hy stride. When half the course was
covered tho horse had drawn up lovol—
and then came such a race as had never
yet been seen. For a hundred yards and
more tho two rnn locked togother, side
hy side,tho runner nlmost flying ovor the
crisp turf, the horso stretchod out in a
fierce gallop, with tho rider standing in
tho stirrups. And now tho goal was only
fifty yards away; hut tho gazers drew a
deep hi oath as they saw that now tho
horso wus gaining—was drawing out iu
front. For one instant it seemed that
all was over; tho noxt, to their amuzo-
mont, they wore conscious that the horse
wus failing. Thou thoy saw a gallant
sight; they saw tho runner nerve him
self for a last effort and close upon tho
goal, dash past tho lioria and past the
Judges and fall headlong on tho turf.
At that sceue, iu aplto of disciplino,n
frantic chocr broke forth along tho lino.
Even Foversham himself smiled grimly,
as ono who, though ho hud just lost a
bet, had gained its full equivalent 111
pleasurable excitement.
The winner, wuo had fallen panting
nnd exhausted, was raisod iuto a sitting
posture hy two troopers, and iu a fow
seconds lie was ahlo, though still wonk
nnd dizzy, to stand upon his fuet aud
look about him.
A fow paces off his beaten rival stood
beside his horse. Dare loakod nt him,
ami their oyes met. Qulxnrvyn’a face
bore an ulmost imperceptible smile ;but it
was not this, hut soiuethiug in his look
which the other could not have defined,
which struck him backward like a
shock. Ho daggered buck a pace or
two, bewildered hy tho light which
broke upon his mind. Thou he stopped
up to his rival's side,nnd tho guards, who
saw no cause to interfere, falling hack a
little, lie put his mouth dose to Quix
arvyn’* ear:
“You pulled that horse,” ho said.
Quixnrvynn looked nt him, hut
answered not a word.
“You let me win,” tho other wont on,
his voice breaking. “For hor sake you
did it.”
Quixarvyn drove hi* nails into his
palms; he had ticlod, he was ucling, not
without a hitter cost.
“Make her happy,” ho said, briefly.
As lie spoke lie turnod away und strode
swiftly to his old position at the head of
the line of prisoners, before which tho
firing party was again drawn up.
Dare turned his buck upon the sccno
and thrust his flngors in his uars. Never
theless, lie could still hour with horrible
distinctness the Sergeant's loud, clear
voice, with nu interval between the
words—
“Ready!”
“Present!”
“Fire!”
Almost as tho word was given come
tho crush of the report. Movod hy an
impulse which he could not conquer ho
turned around with u shudder. Tho
soldiora were lowering their smoking
muskets, and a thick white cloud hung
ahovo the line of tho prisoners stretched
upon the ground. At the extremity of
the lino Quixarvyn lay upon hi* face,
with his right hand clenched upon 11
portrait which hu had taken fro it hi*
breast, and a bullet through his heart.—
