QUIXARVYN’S RIVAL.
The bottle of Sedgemoor had been
fought and lost. Night had come again.
and in the old gray church of Weston
laud 500 of the beaten rebels lay ha.
The scene inside the church was awful
in its weird impressivencss. It might
have been a gorge of the lostsouls inthe
Inferno. The lurid glare of a few
huncheswhich were stuck at intervals
against the pillars revealed the forms of
man sitting and lying on the seats and
‘ flour in every attitude of dejection and
impair. Up and down the aisles the
irm shod heels of the sentrics rang upon
thepsvanent.
The grater part of the prisoners were

of recent wounds; some were praying:

in truth. be and his companions had
good cause for fear, for their conqueror
was Feverahnm, the general of the
Boyllim, whose only mode of dealing
with a rebel was to hang or shoot him
without more ado. and who was only
waiting for the daybreak to begin the
work of slaughter. A few only kept
“resolution—among them two who
was together in the shadow of
the pulpit steps. Both these men had
been conspicuous in the fight. and both
knewwell that they must die at day-
Theelder of the two was a man of
about thirty-five, with a powerful,
thickaet frame and strong and rugged
features; a bad man tohave against one.

eight years younger. His figure was,
ill! and slight, but finely made, and his
face was singularly handsome. He Wits
theswiftest runner in the west of Eng
land. perhaps in the whole kingdom.
His name was David Dare: that of the
older man was John Quixarvyn. Both
were natives of the town of Axbridgo,
but until the day before they had been
to each other. Chance had
made them comrades in the contest,
where they had fought side by side and
where the same troop of Royulists bml
lulled them both.
The two were silent. Quirarvyn had
[filled out a short black pipe. had tilled
ind lighted it, and was now smoking
whiny. His companion had also
pulled out something from his breast—m
htlt was not a pipe: it wasthe portrait

long look at the lovely face~a look
which said farewell.

The other returned his gaze. .
“Well.” he said. ”it was I, it appears;

“No one’s fault?“

frightened her with your bad burners.
Without mentioning your name she told
me the whole story. You could not
make her happy. and I could: that‘s the
whole case. Do you blame her?"
"No," said Quixarvin. thrusting the
portrait back into his breast. "I don’t.
But [have swam. to be equal. with the
man who turned her mind against me—

Both men sprang to their feet at the
same instant and afoul glaring at each
other. At that moment there was
heard outside the church the rattle of a
drum.
Only the rattle of a drum. But the
sound struck thorn motionless as figures
turned to stone. Nor was the client on
their competitions less remarkable. There
was a moment’s silence in the church,
deep as the silence of the dead: then a
movement—a long thrill of horror. That
summons meant that day was breaking
and that their hour was mine.
The guard set instantly to work to
prepare the first hutch of prisoners to be
led out of the church. Dare and Quix—
srvyu were among the first seized.
With nbont a dozen others they were
marched into the open air. The gray
dawu was scarcely giving way to the
first streaks of sunrise no they passed
out of the churchyard gates, but the
whole village was wide awake and in a
tumult of excitement; indeed. there had
been little sleep that night. Every win
(low was alive with terror stricken
game at tho party of doomed men. sur‘

ried through the narrow streets and out
upon the open moor.
At the border of the moor sat an oili-
cer on horseback. surrounded by a troop
of soldiers. Here the thirty halted. and
the guards saluted The officer was a
man of about forty, whose dandified up
pcarancc. which was as trim as that of
a toy soldier newly painted. showed
oddly in the midst of soldiers stained
with battle. This was Lord Fevershum
—a man in whose nature vanity. callous
ness and love of pleasure were about
equally combined. His face wits gay with
pleasant emectation as the rebels were
drawn up before him.
"Gaul!" he remarked. "'l'hese were
all ringlcntlcrs, were they? Sergeant
John. draw up your firing party and
shoot down every man of them.”
The order was instantly obeyed. The
firing pa was drawn up: the prisoners
were run in line at a few WW, dis
lance. At one extremity of the line
David Dare and John Quirnrvyn found
themselves once more side by side.
An officer who sat on horseback at
Fevcrshuru's right hand observed them.
"i know those two." he said. pointing
to them with his finger. "Pity Kw.) such
fellow» should be done for. One of them
is the best runner in the cmmtry side
and the other the best rider."

The major was a man of some human

“Agreed!" he midi "And to iunure

The excitement at that moment was
intense. Notasonndwss heard intho

double line were faces fired intently on
the two competitors. Feversham and
the major, with glance to their eyes, eat
motionless as statues. Even the con.

tocatcb uglimpee of the strange con.
tent on which depended life and death _
for two of their companion.
Thesergeautraisedhispisml. The.
report rang out.
At the same instant horse sndman
shot out together from the mark. At
first the runner. practiced in flying from
the start and having less momentum
than the horse, drew out in front. In a
few seconds he was some twenty yards
ahead. Then the gap between them
ceased to widen, then it was seen to be
decreasing; the from was gaining-
slowly at lint. but gaining surely stride
by stride. When half the course was
covered the horse had drawn up level,
and then come such a race as had never
yet been seen. For a hundred yards and
more the tum mu locked “other. side
by side, the runner almost flying over
the crisp turf, the horse stretched out in
afierce gallop. with the rider standing
in the stirrups. And now the goal was
only titty yards away,th the gators
drew a deep breath as they saw that
now the horse was gaining—was draw-
ing out in front.
For an instant it reamed that all was
over; the next. to their amazement. they
were conscious that the horse was fail-
ing. Then they saw a gallant right;
they saw the runner nerve himself to the
last effort and. close upon the goal. duh
post the horse and [use the judges and
fall headlong on the turf.
At that scene, in spite of «discipline. a
frantic cheer broke forth along the line.
Even Fevershnm himself smiled grimly

bet, had gained its full equivalent in
pleasurable excitement.
