Cortes pressed one long kiss upon Paulino's lips and rushed forth to do his duty, leaving the d:ized and trentbiing girl standing in the middle of the room.
The lleet of the Coinpte de diampmeslin had sailed ink) the bay and was pouring broadside after broadside against the.' slight, works on the i,land, while at the same time Uienville, at tho head of (5.(0 men, was hastening by land t?attack tlio--. fort on th hill iiehind the town.

Tlio girl returned the caress witli a fervor born ol the emotion that was making wild tumult in her breast. To her every cannon shot, as it bellowed and boomed told a sweet story of hope and love. She fancied that it was Louis Uoucet'.s hand thai, was firing every gun she even im-' agined that she eoulif hear his voice, I vague and far, but clear and sweet above the general din, calling to her to have, courage.. "lie is coming! lie is here!" she v.rjed with her head oil the dona's shoulder. "lie quiet, my chiM," was the calm answer: "we cannot know what niiiv bo the end of this." I
They went to the window and looked out to see the heavy jihips drawing in toward tin town and liring as they came. The Spanish lleet was at iji^inii- close to the main land shore in such a position that its guns were unavailable. Soon enough the battery on the island was tpiit.e silenced, while at the same time arose the sound of guns and musketry in the direction of the fort on the bill.
The dona recognized the battle yell of the Indians who were lighting under Bienville. She had heard that savage cry before, and knew well its meaning. "The Holy Virgin shield us if they sue ceed," slie murmured, showing excite iiieiit for the lirst time. "Oh. but they must succeed, they must not fail!" cried Pauline. "And see! the ships are taking down their colors—the French have won! Oh, Louisl Ixiuis!"
In the hysteria of her joy she turned and ran out of the house anil down tho little street toward the strand.
Boats well manned were putting out Irom the Preuch vessels to come ashore Meantime the liring at the fort on tho hill was thick and heavy, and the Indian allies of Bienville were making tho air hideous with their howling
Pauline bad rarely been abroad ill Pensacola, and the .streets, such as they were, were (plite unfamiliar to her. She had run forth without any definite object ill view, though a vaguely outlined thought of finding Louis 1) meet among the as sailing soldiers was certainly uppermost in her mind. The dona followed her. but so swiftly did she tly she was soon !t r! "Oil, my poor, poor child," wailed tho old woman, stopping all out of breath and wringing her hands. bile she stood there (.'apt. Cortes, leading a small body of men, approached her. The intrepid yonng otliccr, seeing that, his vessel must fail into the enemy's hands, had hurried his crew into the small boats and brought them ashore with a view to taking possession of a small block house in the upper part ol the town. "You here!" he exclaimed with the bluntness and sternness of authority "And where is Mile. Pauline?"

Cortes saw that, it was too late to r^ach the block house. Ho quickly put the women in tho rear and formed his men.
Pauline's eves had seen and recognized the vounjjf French leader. "Oh. Louis! Louis!'' Cortes hoard hei cry out. "Hero I am. Come! Come!"
Did tho French officer also really hear
h-r? It appeared so, for with a loud shout he leaped forward and hurled himself with his men down upon the no*v closely marshaled Spaniards. In an instant had be-juti a close and deadly struggle, a hand to hand combat with sword and musket butt.
CilAI'TICIl IV.
auline found herself in the arms of her watchful guardian, the dona, who was praying and crying at the same time. They were rudely pressed backward by the recoil o!' the men when the Krt-hrh u- la -iitii'Mit s.ra'l Ukmii at full rhargi'. Ueiy w:is u-i'ra^h of blows and a volley of horrible oaths mingled 'with cries of rage and pain. .V man came reeling out of Ute crowd and fell at Pauline's ieei, \vh"re he*writhed for a moment, with the* blood leaning from a wound in his neck, and died face downward, biting tin- sand of the street. 1 he nearest, house was a low mud daubed structure, the rudest form of dwelling i:i use by the colonists. The doov stood open with the threshold on the level «if tho ground. Into tld* dark room Dona Ilortense pushed Pauline, just in time toescape a volley of pistol shoLs tired by a halt do/.en of the Frenchmen. The Compto de Champmeslin had run his ships in close to the mainland, and now began raking the town with hrcailaidi's at short range. The balls went bounding along the ground and tearing throu^h the frail buildings, with that peculiar suggestion ot resistless energy so well remembered by every experienced soldier. Tho roof overhead was shattered. Down from a long, ragged, diagonal rent fell a shower of boards and splinters. "Holy Mary, save us!M prayed the dona, sinking upon her knee's and lifting her clenched hands.
Pauline, strange to say, felt no fear. From the beginning she had been in that numb and bewildered state which often conies upon one in the .midst of overwhelming danger. She went to the doorway and looked out. The combatants, French and Spanish, were all mingled together, lighting hand to hand, wiihoin. regard for discipline or order. Hlov were falling thick and fa*t sword clashed with swords: dubbed bhinderbuses rose and fell with such sounds as would, under ordinary circumtauces. sicken the strongest heart.. She looked on, possessed by a subtile fascination, feeling little of the true horror of the occasion. With the strange double power of the mind at such times she was noting every detail of the struggle before her, while at the same, instant she remembered all the long scries of events by which she had been led to lake upon herself this life of incomparable excitement and danger. The vines and gardens of Provence, with the roses and the odors the dear old days of love and joy the .sunshine, the shade, the moonlight oii l! .-.! o:vh::. \l: tho chuivh bells and all the sweet incidents and accidents of home life, came upon the field of her vision and shimmered before hvr, dreamlike and yet so real, a fine idealization of her girihood's dearest experiences.
Through the roar of cannon and the clangor of swords, above the yelling of wild savages ami the oaths of Christians, she heard the bubbling of the Rhone ami the mellow songs of the nightingales in the leafy, odorous closes beyond the Avignon. Sweet words that Louis Dotted had murmured in her ear. the pressure of his hand, the betrothal kiss, a thousand touches of sentiment and of gentle romance thrilled her again. And yet there were the pools of blood in the ftrcct, red jhhjIs that slowly sank away into the sand, and there were the fiercely struggling men trampling their dying lei lows as they fought. Strange that the fragrance of the early autumn roses growing and blowing in a neighboring plot should have impressed her senses at such a time, but the sweet breath came over the scene of terrible passion and brought into her consciousness its touch e»f pleasure despite the awful strain of what she was witnessing.
Louis Doucet and Capt. Cortes met face to face and crossed swords near the middle of the little street. The Spaniard knew his man. Pauline's cry of recognition awhile ago had told him who was the swift footed and handsome young leader of the French detachment. As for Doucet, he knew nothing more than that an enemy worthy of his sted was be-fore him. A voice that he had heard a few moments before had seemed to him to utter his name with a sweet tenderness that recalled some strange way the homesickness of his first year of absence from France. It was no time for gentle reflections now the voice could not really have called him, he thought, and I lie mere flash of notalgie passed as quickly as it came1. His sword rang sharp and clear on that of Cortes. The j.wo men glared at each other, the concent-fated hatred years of war and hardship horning in their eye.-?. The meaning of such a look can never f'TdJ short of death."'
They were well matched in every \y'ay Cortes was a tritJe the taller, but Douce! appeared rather more -compactly built than his adversary. P»oth were sufficiently heated by previous exertion to make their blood swift and their muscles ready.
No time was lost: the fight "was desperate from the beginning, neither combatant at tir.-a thinking of anything but rushing upon and bearing down the other. Both, however, discovered very soon that it was necessary to have a care for self defense as well as for attack. They fenced furiously and adroitly, neither giving an inch, utterly forgetful of what, was going on around, them, their whole souls focused, so io speak, in the one desire to kill and, by killing, to live.
Cortes w-.is aware that Pauline was near by and probably looking on. The thought in some way nerved him powerfully. She should not see Louis Doucet vanquish him he would show her that a Spaniard for once was superior to a Frenchnu.il.
Doucet had no such extra stimulus but his was an iron fraim. and his coolness and con rc.ge needed no aid when a Spaniard dared cross weapons with him. With the dexterity drawn from long practice and with the fierce fury of j'oung tigers thirsting for each other's
Itood, they struggled back and forth ami round and round, while their companions. fighting quite as madly, swept on down the street, leaving them to occupy the already corpse cumbered and blood stMined ground. In those daws soldiers of the better class knew the use of the sword and were overproud of the knowledge. Under the excitement and exhiiarat ion of a hand to hand combat Unaccomplished swetrdsman always feels that his strength is doubled but the peuliar circumstances attending the s! niggle between Cones ami Doucet, added immeasurably to this feeding. L.trh found the other an antagonist who?--vigor ami swiftness made everv moment crisis, and whose steadfast gaze caugh. advance every motion of wrist 01 hod»v C-irtes, in what may safely called a. conscious way, recalled in the midst of the fight what he had Jd
Paahne about, sacrificing life, and even ids honor, to serve her. Strange thai at the same lime he could see, by indirect vision, ju.it beyond Doucet a dead man lying on ilie sand in the rn.td. The face was upturned and distorted, the arms outstretched. Like a dark shallow shot icross his brain the thought: "Shall 1 soon be lying here in that condition'?" It was not startling, it was more like an idle waft of, suggestion, gone as soon as it came.
Moth men became aware presently that the caummading had e'eased and that the rattle of mukelrv was no longer heard. great calm had fallen after the' storm —the battle* was over ami thoSpunish, to the number of 1,800, had surrendered themselves prisoners of war.
One Spaniard, however, wa.-» not yet ronqtiered one Frenchman was still buttling for victor v.

It. must have heen that the knowledge »f Pauline's presenee and tlie thoughts engendered hv t.he prohahijity that she was wititessing tlie struggle somewhat distraeted the nerve of Curies, or it may have been the persistence of the dead man in lying there in the sand in the line of his vision, for he at last lost his guard and the quick point of Doncet's swurd pierced his breast. He scarcely felt the wound, however, and quickly springing back he recovered himself and made a furious rush upon his antagonist.
It was at this moment that Doucet's eyes in some way caught a glimpse of Pauline's face jus she stood in the low. dark doorway of the cabin. The glauce cost him dear. With thecelorilv of light the Spaniard's blade found a bloody sheath.
Out from the doorway sprang the young girl, letting go a short wail and holding tip her while arms as she flung herself between the bleeding men. The dona followed, calling upon the Virgin and laying hold of Cortes with a. desperate energy.
It was too Jate now to renew the light, for the loss of Mood was making the limbs of Cortes sink under him. lie turned blind and fell upon the sand pale and motionless
Pauline had but time to throw her arms about her lover and call him by name1, when lie, too. sank down with the blood spurting from his wound.
Bi'-nville. accompanied by a number of ollieers and a squad of soldiers for body guard, came along the street a little later and found the two women nursing the heads of tlnj fallen men. He halted and made some inquiries, then ordering a surgeon and some attendants to remain and examine furt her, he passed on, going to have a conference with tlie Comptede Chumpmc.-.lin.
Dona Hortense begged the surgeon to order the bleeding men taken t.o her house. .She led I he-way. prayingas she wen:.
Poor Pauline had fainted and was borne along in the arms of a stalwart,-soldier, it was a -strange procession moving through..ihv..bi2t'iii' storm shattered town.
It is recorded that LOUM Doucet and Capt-. Cortos bui.h recovered:.but Doucet was never.jiHerward aiile to be a soldier, though he lived to bo a very old man. He and Paulino .-were married at Mobile by a prie-t called lather P-mian. and soon afterward they returned to Franco and made their home in Provence amid the scenes of their childhood and in the very, house made holy to thein by their betrothal. The legend further says that their children numbered eleven, seven of which were suns, the others, presumably. were girls.,
The subsequent career of Capt. Cortes is not certainly known, but in an old though not well'authenticated chronicle preserved at Seville mention is made of an otlieer of that name who. ''after valiant service in the Floridas and in many oilier countries wherein he fallowed the Holy Cru.-*s was granted an estate in Mexico near by Vera Cruz, whore he lived and died unmarried, always true to his king and to the holy chutch. and it was th" proceeds of hi* estate, bequeathed for the purpose, that built tho Convent of the 8aored Heart."
