THE DUEL
'Chapter Seven
V.
I V I HE late afternoon sun beat
V 1 flown with unrelenting heat
f i Ti-" Evn the wineehops were
iwnDtied save for a tew who lolled
'therein, fanning themselves la de-
svutory laenion.
. At one of the tables lounged Mer-
cutio, r- dosing over his flaoon of
' wine. Through half-shut eyes he
watched Benvolio, who bent over
the fountain In the square, cooling
hk "hands and wrists. He saw Ben
lio stop short, look anxiously
down the street and whirl about.
"I pray thee, Mercutlo," he called
as he hastened Into wineshop, "let
us retire. The day is hot" He looked
oat toward the
square. "The
Capulets are
broad," he
whisnered. "and
ft we meet we shall not escape a
Mercutlo eyed him lazily. "Thou
' mxt like one of these fellows that,
j when he enters the confines of a
, tavern, claps his sword upon the
1 table and says: 'God send me no
need of theef"
"Am I like such a fellow?" asked
Benvolio.
"Come, come," laughed Mercutlo.
"Thou art as hot a Jack In thy
mood as any man in Italy. 11 there
were two such we should hr e nono
shortly, for one would !.'il the
other'
"If I were so apt ti quarrel as
them art " Benvolio paused in his
reply as the sound of marching feet
. approached the door. "By r.iy head,"
ho exclaimed, "Here como the Capu-
' lets!"
Mereutio swung his heels to the
floor with a bang. "By my heel, I
-care not," he declared.
Tybalt, leader of the Capulet
i henchmen and nephew of the Lord
of the house, looked In" upon the
two of them. "Gentlemen," he
'greeted. "A word with one of you."
i "And but one word with one of
us?" XJercv.tlo inquired coolly.
"Couplo it with something; make it
a word and a. blow."
You shall find me apt enough to
that, sir," commented Tybalt, then
.turned away from him as his
glance' .lighted upon another who
came smiling down the square
his face agleam with happiness and
goodwill. It was Romeo hastening
from his marriage to Juliet to tell
his friends of his good fortune.
"Peace be with you, sir," muttered-Tybalt
to Mercutlo and hur
ried out the wineshop, Mercutlo
and Benvolio at his heels.
"Romeo!" called Tybalt drawing
Ida sword from Its sheath. "The
love I bear the can afford no bet
tar term than this:. Thou art a
'Wain."
Romeo looked at him kindly, see
st Um only in the light of his
beXared wife's cousin. "Tybalt," he
aserwered with courtesy, "the reason
that I have to love thee doth much
accuse , the appertaining rags to
neh a greeting. Villain am I none.
Therefore, farewell. I sea thou
knoWst ms.not" He turned , to
greet his friends.
"Boy!" cried Tybalt, "This shall
not exeuse tile Injuries that thou
hast dona me. Therefore, turn and
sTsswr p- - .
"I do protest," replied Romeo. "I
have never Injured thee; but love
the better than thou canst devise,
until thou shall know the reason of
xsy love." '
Tybalt i laughed la scorn. Men
cntio, horror on his face stepped
, lisforo' ' hlnu r? -
"Oh, calm.'dishonorable.vile sub---
satBslon!" he muttered at Romeo as
ke drew his rapier and twirled it
at Tybalt "Tybalt you rat-catcher,"
r. ha shouted, "will you walk?f
' The other eyed him insolently.
"What wouldst thou, have with me."

faces to every window and door.
Who would send the alarm now

sens, again earns between the duel,

the xe.lwtwt
of his interference) Tybalt lunged a
telling thrust at Mercutlo, stabbing
him beneath Romeo's outfluag arm.
"I am hurt," cried Mercutlo. Ty
balt and his followers sped down
the sauare. He looked after them
as they ran. "Is he gone and hath
nothing?" he shouted in- rage.
Romeo--and Benvolio sunnorted
him, helping him to; arise. . ,
"Courajrs. man.". Breed- Romeo.
The hurt cannot be much!"
"Mb." brotested Mercutlo. "Tli
not so deep ae a well nor so wide
as a church-door: but 'tis) enough.
'Twill serve. As for me, tomorrow

own ward "a grave man.1' His
breath failed' him and ha gasped
for the next word. "I am neDnerad
I warrant for this world." A spasm
oT pain shot through him. "A
plague O both your Houses." he
cried. He pulled away from Romeo.
"Why the devil came you between
us; j, was run nnaer your arm."
"I thought all for the beet." Ro
meo pleaded.
Mercutlo brushed him awav.
'Helo ma into some houaa. Rmm.

Benvolio carried him toward the
la off the wineshop. "A plague

cried, and fell
dead.
Romeo knell
and took MercuUo's body in his
arms. He looked into the dead face;
and then out . into the sauare to
ward Tybalt and hU followers
who - were even then ,- returning;
He . rose. ' and with ' sword v M

gesticulating mob, ,Romeo and Ty- -bait
fought their short furious com
bat with rapier and cloak. Tybalt's
thrust caught Romeo's cloak which
was swung la time to meet th
blade. Before- he could dlsengas
his weapon, Romeo lunzed and "
pierced him through. Tybalt fell to
the ground. Romeo stood above him
in a daze, drawing- cue ii hlal
that dripped with blood.
' "Away, xtomeo," cried Benvolio,
"Be gone. Stand not amazed," lie
pleaded. "The citizens are up and
Tybaie slain. The Prince will doom
thee death if thou art taken. Hence
be gone away."
"O, cried Romeo, "I am foi'tuaa'i

i"Why dost thou stay?" Benvolio ,
frantic voice at last penetrated
Romeo's consciousness. With a wild
look at the crowds milling about, "
Romeo bolted into their midst and
was swallowed up by them. At that
very Instant the Prince of Verona
and -his retinue galloped -into tha. .,

"Where ara tha viU barinnara nt

stewed forward. "Oh

Mereutio; and then Tybalt fled. But ' ''
by and by came back to Romeo and :
to it 'they did go like lightning; '
