"Sir, donbtleA yon have been gollty of aome groaa of- fence to thia lady—It may have been, perhiapa, bnt a sim- ple Indleoretton; but whatever may have paaaed between you both, there exiata no reason why you shoiuld follow her against her wishes.

Bob attempted to fol- low, but ii/aa prevented by the "squash." , "Stand oot of my way!" thundered Bob, aa the eld gent oppoeed him. This oppoaitloa Irritated Clifford, and thinUng he poe- aesaed an eaay thing of it, squared hlmaelf for a "tamnp" with his new-found enemy.

Bob summoned hia beat skill to "get honk" on his wily opponent, bnt he again failed, for, put In where he woold, he was beantlAilly stopped and countered. While the apairbg waa being enacted, several of . the vtaltors grew soaroe. LUly threw open the street door, and calling npon her ohamplon to fall back, she brought her weapon to bear on Clifford's breast. ComnwnjlTng the latter to dealat on the pahi of death, he obeyed, and staggered back. FUcIng her defender to the aide neatest the lour, he bounded out, followed slowly by LtUy; who kept Bob at bav. OUflbrd dared not foll6w, as danger to his person would be the result Seating himself, he oonaoled hia feelings with the hope of meeting LUlv at another time and place; when ke would be fearfully avenged. .v.; "Who In the devU can she bet" he mattered savaMly to one of the girls, at the same breath calling for • 'guM' of brandy.
