A STORY OF RETRIBUTION. B Y “ W A B A S H ." loomaonr, idea] CHAPTKK XL When Percy arrived at Buenos Ayres Be did not rash with precipitate haste to Emeriok & Ca’a office; he took np his quarters at a quiet English hotel end then went systematically to .work to find oat what he could about Mr. Emerick. There was little to ho learned, however, tor all he coaid hear •rag that Emeriok lived in quiet se­ clusion In a handsomo modern resi­ dence lying to the north of the town, which hod Been previously occupied by Mr. Howe, his partner, and family. Whennotatbuainasa Emeriok was re* ported to spend hli time at this house, where'he Would sometimes entertain a few friends, particularly Some •Spanish gentlemen, who, atrango to say, ware sot admitted to the better society of Baanos Ayres, TO these guests of Emcrick’s the houses o f the civil au­ thorities were not open, neither did any of the numerous wealthy foreign residents invite them to thole tables. Yet It was no uncommon thing for them to spend the evening and greater part Of the bight at Mr. Emeriok’s bones, and one of the servants had ohoe told« confidential friend outside that their amusement consisted almost en­ tirely o f playing cards, drinking wine and smoking. Yet Mr, Emeriok was exceedingly strict in his attendance to business and was regularly scan at his leak la the office of Emeriok Sc, Co., in a large four-story modern business block situated near to the custom* bones. Only very seldom did the mer­ chant appear at the theater. Occasion­ ally he sould be seen st sn Anglo* German concert hell, bat not often, end then he wss usually alone and would drink his wine in a little private box and go quietly home.

Percy was reading a portion,o f a Londonpaper which had arrived on the lostmail, andwashanded to him by an English army officer at the hotel, lie hardly knew hfawto ac­ cost Emeriok, but resorted to very aim* pletactics by asking.him in the <rte andeasy manner whioh be had acquired in America, if he would permit him to take a light from hie cigar, -Mr. Enter* ick at onoe drew out a gold' match.box and supplied the.want- "You we a stranger here?” he said to peroy*' ‘ ,, * r ‘ ” n “I am, indeed. ' I arrived hero only a few days since,” replied Percy, at the oamo time feeling ,devoutly thankful that Mr. Emeriok had not,recognised him. it was so dark on the piazza at Long Branch, tho only place Whore Mr. Emeriok had met Percy,, that it was,s safe risk to take, and it bad apparently passed safely. "Have you any acquaintances in Bue­ nos Ayres?” was Mr. Emerick’s first question.- "None, whatever,” answered Poteen " I amhero to see tho country, and. do not Intend to remain, long.*’ • “Whore arfa you staying, may I askf” "At tho Hotel Victoria,” was'the re­ ply. "Then you are sn Englishman, 1pre­ sume?” ' . ■ ■ . "Yes,” answered Percy without allud­ ing to his long residence in America. ' “ If you ever And. tho time hanging heavily <myour hands while here,” said Mf- Emeriok, i‘drop in at my office and see me.” ^Saying whioh ho drew out a card and handed it to Percy. "May I inquire your name?” he asked ad he handed the card. . i "Byron Huntly,” responded Percy. " I am sorry ihhve no card.*' " This-was the, assumod name Under which Percy had registered at tho hotel and the one by which he was traveling. A few days later ho called at Mr. Enierick’s office and look lunch with that gentleman. Ho also accepted an. Invitation to meet a few gentlemen at Mr. Emerick’s house that evening. . Nothing could have suited Percy hot­ ter than this. Ho went and stayed late. Poker was the ordor of the hour, and Percy left a winner to such an extent that ho felt in honor bound to accept the lhvltation pressed upon him to at­ tend again a week later and give the losers an opportunity to teooap tbelr .losses,' . y . . - , .... f.. An intolUgant Spaniard of about Mr. Emerick’s own ngo' accompanied Percy part of the way homo and grew very confidential. “ Mr. Huntly,” ho' Skid, "lot mo cau­ tion yOu tO'be very careful when you go to Mr, Emeriok’s ,next, wook, There woro one or twogontlemon in thatparty to-night who arc adepts at handling tho cards and 1 have lust cause for being suspicious even of Mr. Emcrlck him­ self. It is not perhaps tho essence of honor to Speak ill of Olio’s host behind his back. You aro a stranger and may have plenty o f money which you can afford to lose, but m^suspiclons that the play at Mr. Emerilk’s house Vras not always lair, wero confirmed to-night and 1 give you warning. Bo Careful." These words set P orcy thinking, but tboy of eourso did not detor him from going to Mr. Emerick's on that night weelb During the time which intervened he took a trip up the Bio do la Plata to one of the river ports, and returned on tho morning of his appointment for thecard party* When evening came Mr. Emcrick oalled for him at the hotel and together they went out to the merohant’s house, Darcy wss left to himself for about half on hour before dinner, sad he ooeupled most of the time wltn falxthoughts.

A11of- a sudden he deteoted the unpleasant fact .that tboy were being cheated. Whon he made this discovery be did not hesitate a moment, bat throw down bis cards and refused to play. The Span­ iards and Mr. Emcrlck stared at him in amazement and askod the reason. Loan­ ing back in bis chair and qdiotly light­ ing a cigar*,ho said, as he puffed sway without the slightest" regard to oonse- quencos? "Becatno this^game Is crook­ ed." Every man except the Spaniard,who hod warned Percy jumped to his feet. “Sir," they said in unison, “ what do you mean by'‘this insult?” - "Precisely What'I said,” tho cool and undaunted Englishman replied. ; "Such insults may pass unnoticed in England,” said Mr, Emeriok, with- as­ sumed haughtiness, "but here things ONE OF THEM 8TBUCK B IX A BBAVT BLOW OX THE HEAD, are different. Tho insult whioh you have offered os can only.be wiped'out in one Way.” "On tho modern French plsnor in the stern reality?” asked Percy, who could not resist the temptation to hurl asneer at the man for whom ho bad conceived such a strong disllko. 1 ' "Wo havo but one plan here," spoke up a tall, muatached Spaniard, "and that is totkght to the death.” . "Undoubtedly a very good one, too, but do you 'propose that I should fight each of you singly, will you all pounoo upon me at once, or do I take my choice of oppbnont?” waS Percy’s reply, mado as.easily as though he was engineering his way on an unfamiliar street. Tho Spaniardsat once commenced Speaking rapidly to each other, at tho same time easting angry glances at Percy, but ho never flinched. i • - During this conversation Percy’s thoughts chased each other through his mind with lightning swiftness. If ho fought, his opponent must bo this man Emorick. And what if.Emcrlck should prove the hotter man? < In that oast it might never fao loarnod who be really was. lie felt ' that ho had mado a mis­ take in .offending these hot-headed Spaniards.. - True* thero Was one who would probably render him assistance, but even ho could not bo relied upon, Percy had no faith at all in menof their nationality, - / In a few moments they ceased their confab^ and Mr. Emerick, acting as spokesman, said: "We have derided that yon must either name one of us gentlemen to fight with weapons which ypu shall be allowed to chooso or prepare to be treated as h coward sad a liar.” "It is hardly possible that l shall choose the latter,” answered Percy. "It is not extctly natural to an. English­ man to back out when there Is snyfight- ing in prospect, so I accept yonr propo­ sition. This gentleman on my right will perhaps sot as my second.” The man alluded to was the one be hod walked home with a week before, and be agreed to set for Percy. Then Love! pondered for a moment before he proceeded to hsme his opponent Each of the Spaniards stood eying him as much as to hay-* “Oh, please take me; 1 would like to spill a little of yonr cold English blood on tho fertile plains of thisRepublic; only give mothechanoe.*^ The coolest of the lot was Mr. Emeriok,' who seemed Osunoonceraed and indif­ ferentas Lovel himself. But Percy was not considering whom he should fight*,' on that point his mind waa fully made up. He had other thoughts In hismind.: He Seemed, is it wore, in a trap. He’ knewAiU well that If he farther inhur^ fed the anger of these mea he might never leave the place alive, and his body- might float the amm.lMhJtothe: ocean, lt„ wo* a bold break he wok about to make, but it meant a great deat; I f heMas to beJcHM, 1* waited to know wh* killed him.

Percy chose to fight with rapiers, os he was tolerably skillful in tho use of those weapons and frit more certain o f: getting fair play. All arrangements bring completed*Percy and >b|* aeeond at once mado their departure. .There waastill time for a few hours’ sleep, and Percy decided to take advantage of it Hut no sooner had Percy and bis friend departed than the tall Spaniard and Mr. Emerick were again in con­ sultation. -‘‘That Englishman must never leave this country alive,” he said, "and,lean not and will not run tho risk of fighting him. Ho is probably a skilled swordsman or would not choose suoh weapons, and since there must he no mistake'.about his being disposed of, other means must be resorted to.” “ That will bo easy enough," replied’ his second in Spanish. "You go to bed and get a few hours’ rest and I will at­ tend to the rest” - "Do this and you shall be’ well patd;” said Mr. Emerick. The Spaniard ap­ parently entertained no very falgh esti­ mate of Emerick’s promises and thought it' would bo hotter to have something on account. So ho demanded a payment in advance, and upon bis de- hire's bring, satisfied ho left tho house and made bis way into the town as fast as possible, to find suitable men to carry' out his plans. Asdaylight dawned -Percy and his second arrived on'' the spot which had been agreed upon. They were first on tho scene, huthad not long to wait, as Mr. Emerick and his second arrived Soon after them. It took but a short time to prepare for the fight, and whon ready tho sec­ onds wero standing a shots distance from tho men who, devoid of coat .and vest, stood facing each other. The; word was given, and they measured Sword& Thonas they crossed, Percy heard a rush behind him, and in.another in* stant a cloak was thrown over him and he was forced violently to the ground. His struggles were in vain, and a mo­ ment later ho fclhfais foot being tiod by rough hands so tightly that bo suffered intense pain. The next thing ho knew be was being carried somewhere, though In which direction ho had not the faintest idea. Once ho hoard his seoirad’s voice ex­ postulating, hut only for a second. Ho writhed and struggled, paying no atten­ tion to tho injunction o f his captors,1 given in Spanish, telling him to keep quiet.' Finally, tired o f .handling such a troublesome load, one of them struck him a heavy blow on the head which stunned and effectually quietod him. Ho remembered no more until some hours after, whon ho camo to his senses with4* torriblo pain in his. hood, and realized that bo was faring rimtayed in aomo vehicle without springs over a very rough road. \Vhat bis thoughts and* feelings wore oah ‘bettor bo imag­ ined than described, but his chagrin at not boing permitted to pass his sword through his enemy’s body surmounted all other feelings. Whither hq was be­ ing carried ho oonld'form no sort of calculation. One thing ho was thank­ ful for, Snd that was life; .for So long as that was left ho cherished thohope that he might find deliverance. Ho was too much exhausted to remain conscious .long and soon sank again into a coma- toss state. Meanwhile, Mr* Emeriok retoraod to his house, settled with tho Spanish ras­ cal who had engineered the outrage on Lovel and appeared at the usual time at his office as if nothing out of tho ordi­ nary course had happened within the post few hours. He wss little afraid that any disclosure would be made, for be knew full weU that the Spaniard who hod acted as Percy’s second would nsvek dare to say ftword of what had happened, lest the father members of the gang should injure him. Of the others, be had no cause to be Afraid. ’ In the Afternoon o f the same day Mr. Emerick received AOAblemessage from New York stating that his partner had died thatmorning.
