... "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

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

maintain my championship, bnt wa
