Walter Irving rose.
The doctor appreciated the inodast

showiil by the smile wluvh played
over his features.
"My dear boy.'' said the doctor, "I

Mr. Irving and his son were evi
dently not prepared for so serious an
Interview. However, they promised
faitlifullv to obey tlie doctor's earnest
riiiest,'anil waited patiently tor him
in eulifjimc.
The doctor looked' romal fn his
ehair. to assure himself that they were
alone, and then, clearing his throat
and addressing himself more particu
larly to young Walter Irving, spoke
as follows : -
"Kiglit-and-twenty years agoT was
studying medicine at a German uni
versity. It van at Heidelberg. 1 did
not take up this study until late in life.
In tVt. considerably after I liad taken

'When I first took np my residence
in Heidellierg, the somewhat absurd
custom of diielliug between tlie stu
dents was in vogue.
The students were mail on the
subject of duelling, and the slightest
disturUmce resalteil in a formal and
hostile encounter. Hardly a day nags
cd that some duel or other did not
take place. The students fought occa
tkmaHy with the ofHuers as well as
with tire townspeople, and, I need
hardly add, perpetually among them
selves. "1 wits a strong muscular fellow

'I was as wild and as headstrong
as any of them. My strong and n
fiinch'iiig English spirit ant) determi
nation gained me a reputation even
among urese dare-devil German boys,
atal very soon I became noted as a reek
lev fellow aud experienced duellist. I
became the leader of a "cliu,ue."
"A very Bttle way from where my
lodgings were, lived a young stutlent,
but who was as unlike me, or any in
my act. as black Is from white. He
was the kind ot fellow we should have
called a milksop-' at school; and yet,
somehow or other, 1 felt I could not
dislike the fellow. Instinctively I
don't know how it was but I took to
him. One's 'likes' an', after all, as
incomprehensible as our 'dislikes.'
