When Ralsuli Smiled.
Chicago Journal.
"At Tangier," said a Chlcagoan. "I saw
Kaisull. He looked as magnificent as
an Indian rajah, and a Frenchman told
trie that he had a foolhardy, reckless
valor.
"This Frenchman said that Ralsuli had
entered the shooting gallery of Tangier
one day -while a Tunisian was trying a
little pistol-practice.
JThe Tunisian was an excellent shot.
H& broke glass balls, rang bells, split
pipe stems and penetrated bulls' eyes
without number. At each shot a polite
murmur of applause arose. The man
was all puffed up with triumph.
"Ralsuli looked on with a sneer, and
finally he said in a loud voice:
- " 'In a duel this gentleman wouldn't
shoot so welL'
" 'We'll see about' that,' yelled the Tu
nisian, and he challenged. Ralsuli, and
ten minutes later they -were on the field.
"They were to fight at 12 paces, each
to Are one shot. Lots were drawn as to
who should shoot first, and Ralsuli lost.
He took his stand before the Tunisian
calmly and the latter lifted up his
weapon, took careful aim and missed.
"Ralsuli smiled. 'What did I tell you?'
he said.
"And he thrust his pistol in his belt,
and strode away humming a French
song."

he couldn't possibly have lived if he
hadn't married the girl, but yesterday
he found he was tired of married life,

those old familiar friends, Before and
After Taking.
