He went through the doorway and. after the yellow l>am of his candle had been swaup*d in the darkness. 1 could still hear the faint splashing of his feat in the sami-liquid mud Then 1 H'Ui-k my candle by its clay sonket against the wall, and care lenaly unroll-, I the crisp paper and flattened It out.

HP railed to my memory the fact that our nngine-man on the pit-bank had r> urned to hi. home, and had been or- dered not to rewind us to the sur- face for eight more hour*. Then he challenged me to Tight him to the death. Previous to my entrance into ' he room he had placed a revolver and cartridges in the locker opposite the door ; he himself possessed an arma- inen' similar in all respects. Furthermore, he bad observed thai our watches coincided. So I should be able to know when he made it ex- actly 10.30; up to th.it tiuii- there was a truce beiween us. The second it passed, he gave m his mont aurred word of honor, he should set ahoul endeavoring to slay me. Some people reading so strange a screed under suna unrig.- c icum- siances might have scented the prac- tical joke and endeavored to treat the matter aa such I knew Valpy too well; he was always an earnest sort o/ man; and the letter was pious to :i degree.

My own self-preserva' ion clamored lobe thought . u ai my watch. There were left to me four minutes' grace. Then sandy, hi. animal st-rise* showed him my whereabuui. first, and he raised the muzzle of the revolver and pulled the trigger. The sum of what my dazed eyen saw was valpy'. *mudgd white face, and the |Asiol, in a dazzling halo of flame. The bullet .truck the wall beneath my left armpit, bringing down a amall avalanche of shale. I had no thought of returning bis lire Indeed, my revolver was in iny pocket, still unloaded, but I leaped forward, endeavoring to grapple wiib aim before he could get in another shot. Iiuubling like an eel in (he utter darkness, he left a side-pocket iif bis coui in my hand and fled, giv- ing parting shots behind him (ill he had emptied hi. revolver. The lead brought down great sheet, of stone from the roof and sidea till I thought ibat Ihe whole stratum must have collapsed about our ears; still no shot touched me, and I crashed on at hid heels.. But Valpy ran like a dver and distanced jne ; and at length I slowed down, with hands and arms Meeding from contact with the rocky wall.; and I heard Valpy slack bis pace at the same time, and heard also it* tinkle of the empty .hell, aa be ejected them and reloaded bis revol- ver.

When we were brought to blessed daylight once more, bruised, bleeding, fit by beyond recognition, a doctor took us both in hand, and through his skill I was little wor** for the adven- ure. But Valpy's case was different. He woke into a raging brain-fever, and the doctor said that the disease must have smoldered in his systt-m for weeks to permit of it* arriving at inch a lU'ldnn and vl.-l.-n head.

No sound c.i me to me. through the black gloom ave only for the muffled lapping of tiny waves.

A great revulsion of foiling spiead over me like a cold douche. V.ilp.v. mad or sane, was drowning in sume dreadful unseen tank, which drained th water of the mine. He could not win) stroke. If I did not rush then to save him. he would die horribly. My fierce enmiiy withered and vanished wi'hln m, I remembered only the friendship of twenty years.
