Vincent recognized with astonishment in the Federal officer rushing at him with uplifted sword his old antagonist, Jackson.

With a yell of rage he started up again and rushed at Vincent.
But the Venetians gathered courage from despair. By incredible efforts they succeeded in beating off their enemies. They became the assailants in their turn.

He seized the pagan's outstretched hands with that monstrous left and flung him backward.

Her hand was still uplifted charged with another rosebud, but behind the child's figure, looking over her shoulder and holding back the menacing arm, was a face as innocent but lovelier far, the face of a girl in her first youth, framed round with the blossoms that festooned the trellise. How the face became the flowers! It seemed the fairy spirit of them. Kenelm started and rose to his feet.
