Haisten, Fum,ZZsEasy ... "I Till pig stick you!" . The words were addressed to me by a lieutenant In the German army. He was very young, his beard just sprout ing, and since there bad been no war between Germany and any other pow er since long before be was born be bud had no way of letting off bis sur plus vim. We were in a beer garden, and he bad. been sitting at a table near one at which I sat with a party of American, friends. Getting up from bis table, be walked past us, and, my foot being in bis way, be took pains to stumble against it Tbeu, glaring down at me, be said In English: , "1 vlll pig stick your ! "What does the fellow mean?" . ." "You've been challenged to fight duel." snld Washburn, an attache at the American legation. He bad lived In Berlin a number of years and knew the ways of the Inhabitants. ' "He can send all the challenges be pleases," I said. "I'll pay no attention to tbem." ' : "In that case," Washburn replied, "you must give up tbe social stand yon have prepared to take in Berlin, t shouldn't like to put yoa forward as I bare promised unless you either Ogbt young Donboff. whom everybody knows and wbo Is on Intlmnte terms with the Imperial family, or find some way out of the matter." ., , "What way out of tbe matter Is there?" , "I'll think It over. I've helped sev era I Americans out of such scrapes, By the bye. I think I'll try tbe plan by wblcb I saved Albertaon from getting a sword thrust between his ribs." "What plan?" "I didn't explain It till tbe affair was settled, nor will I tell yon. Put your self in my bands, ask no questions, and I think I can bring you out of this with honor, probably with eclat" 1 I assented, and be took a messnge from me to Donhoff. I was an Amer ican, and Americans did not fight duels. However, I was willing to fight under certain conditions, or, rather. I would prove myself more skillful than he. We would fire at a ben's egg at twenty paces. If he hit the egg oftener than I. I would stand up and permit hi in to shoot at me as long as be liked If I hit the egg more times than be. be was to submit himself ns a target for me. ' The hot headed youugster accepted the conditions. Indeed, he was rather ileased at the novelty of the plan Washburn arranged for a test of skill In n fencing academy and brought basket of eggs to the place, which wert to serve as targets. The affair belim an unusual one, none of the safeguards common In duel preliminaries were taken. Washburn fixed the target, sub pending tbe egg by a thread. Donboff and I tossed for order of trial, and I won. Each principal was to deliver five shots, and tbe one wbo shuttered more eggs than tbe other won. Tbe day before ' the test 1 could scarcely, hit a barn door, but 1 prac ticed sufficiently to bit an egg at least once in five shots. On the trial I spat tered the contents twice. Donboff, who like all German army officers was good marksman, looked upon my work with evident contempt I missed the first and second shots, and as soon as f had done so he seemed to lose all In terest In tbe contest He had doubtless made a previous trial and discovered he could h!f the egg every time. I bad been Instructed by Washburn that when I beat Donboff and Wash burn assured me that If bis plan worked I would I was Immediately to renounce my right to make a target of him. Washburn bnng an egg for litm. He fired somewhat carelessly and missed. He was surprised especially at seeing thb egg vibrating from the wind iif tbe ball. Hp fired a second shot, this time aiming carefully. Again he miss ed. and again the egg danced. If now he hit the egg at every remaining shot he could still beat me. Though he took a long time to aim before the third shot, he missed It ' ' He could now only tie me. But he had become so Irritated with himself that be was not capable of doing as good work as before. He missed the fourth and fifth shots, tbe egg at each successive shot vibrating less. Indicat ing that his aim had grown less accu rate On missing the fifth shot he threw his pistol down with an oatb. Washburn sbot me a glance, and I cried. "I renounce the right I -have wonT and. hastening to Donboff, put out my bund. He" took It, mntterlns Imprecations on himself for harini: been so clumsy Then he and his party thanked me for my magnanimity and left tbe academy By JovpT' exclaimed Washburn sinking Into a chair "If those fellows had exercised onp-tenth the care tbet would bavc taken In an ordinary due I would have had to leave Berlin." "What do yon mean?" I asked "Yon fired at a otld egg. Donhoff at shell from which I had drawn th. contents No ball will hit an empt.t eggshell Tbe wind will drive it asld. every time." We bad won by a Yankee trick, bir since It . was merely to avoid bloot spilling our consciences did not tnmM us. I entered Berlin society utulei Washburn's wing with great eclat fea red that I would be called npon to maintain my championship, bnt wa tet severely aione. rizQcitipH Directory FRATERNAL OKD A.F. & A.
