It was In September; the shooting season had Jnst art In, and tho entire party, with a aingl exception, and that ujseu, was coniiosu oi insn gjutie mcn devoted to the gnp. Among those nsaemblcd was Cnpt Cons ii. who, I learned during the con versation of the evening, was about leaving in a rew days to Join his wife and daughter, then nr Cnatlnrnck. ' Unrcatraiucd by the society of the rair sex, wc enjoyed ourselves exceed ingly, ud Indulged rather freeiv In tha coutents or our Boat's wtne cellar. Tbe last thing 1 remember of that night la my maklns an effort to resrjond to "our visitor." The ucxt I knew was. wheu aroused by the cheery voice of Jemmy O'Neill, niv cousin's man-nf-all. work, I found myself on the sofa In the smoKing-room, whither I had been car- nea some hours before. "Here's a letter for vs. air." aalil Jemmy. 'All right." I reD'ied. reachinir mi hand for it He gave me the letter, then left tbe room. I felt I must have aleDt a lona- tlmo as the sun waa atreamlne In at th windows; and. as the light seemed to aggravate my headache, I merely glanced at the aunerscrlntlon. and In v. lng the letter on a chair, proceeded to uraw aown tbe blind. My next thought was to take a bath: but. aeelnar the let. ter as 1 turned from the window, I con cluded 1 would read It first I sank Into a chair and tnra It throwing the envelope on the table. wnai was my surprise on seeing It begin: - "My Beloved Husband " Tbe next instant Cant Cnnnn aiv In and passed me In the direction r th. n replace. As be did so, his ere caueht the letter. Tou miserable. Ill-bred nnnnyr ha exclaimed. ... "How dare yon have the Impudence to open my letters r anat.-h. lng It rudely from my hand as be spoke. Smarting under his lnsuhinir I sprang up and replied: In Justice to mvaelf. I opened your letter intentionally, fw ther," continued I, trembllns with t... uu, imi prove yourself Ill-bred and Do gentleman by your vile language. "What!" he screamed: "no n tin man, do you sayr Retract Instantly, sir!

I say you shall, tboueh. elm I'll choke the life out of you!" springing toward me ss be spoke. How this would have terminate I know not, for at this moment Mr. Far rel rushed Into the room In time to catch him ere be reached me. Hold, Copt Conanr cried Mr. Par. ret, "Mr. Morton Is here as my guest, and as such I consider It mv dni ta protect him from violence." Ibe captain seemed to see the Justice of this observation, but his fury was not abated. Turning to my cousin, be said: Perhaps you will also consider ft your duty to teach him some manners. ue naa uie impudence to open a letter addressed to me. and Instead of nflw Ing an apology, added to his mlsbe- nsvior Dy saying I was no gentleman, nere is the enveloDe ." takimr i the table, "plainly addressed to me, and I caught him In tbe act of reading its contents." "However that may be." renllwl me cousin, "as a relative and friend of mine, I demand tliat you treat him as a gentleman." "Out of respect to you and relative, he shall be treated ss a gentle man," replied the cuptnlu. hotly. "8o I will begin bv demanding an " wsr""saf from blm for opening my letter; also ror saying i was no gentleman, and that he shall retract that remark." 'Itegardlnc tbe letter." sold I. -r win say I opened It by mistake for my own. uegaraing tbe remark, I shall not re tract It and repeat no centlemnn would use your language, and not annl. oelie for so doing. It is from Vftn an apology Is due, aud, if given, will be accepted." "Enough," said he. "Mr. Parrel anvs you are a gentleman. I will soon prove him either right or wrong, by treating you as one. You w 111 hear from m during the day," and he strode from tbe bouse without another word. "A duel without doubt" said my cousin; "nothing less will satisfy him. How did this all happen V I then told my cousin how the ml. tike had taken place. I left my letter on tbe cbalr and had taken nn tha ran. tain's, which Jemmy bad left there for mm, ui'iierlug it to be my own. On learning what tbe cantaln had said to me, be thought uie very moder ate in my resentment of the Insult, and agreed with me that It was from tha captain an npology was due. Tbe devil or It is," said be, "the cap tlan Is such a good shot he generally pops bis man every time." "Pops his maur said I. "What do you mean?" "I mean that be will challenge ton to duel, and If you do not accept. It I must, for I demanded that you be treat. ed as a gentleman. But come," be con tinued, "aud see what John has In the dining-room for us; for my part, I feci as though a dozen of poet would not quench niy thirst" While discussing our wine, messen ger came with a note addressed to me. "From tho captain, I'll bet!" said my cousin. "Yon must go It my boy." I opened the seal and read as follows: "Homes Morton, Esq. Sir: - Capt Conan has selected me to arraugo meeting between you and him, that the affair of this morning may be honor ably settled, navs a friend, for yon, to communicate with ma during the day, Tours respectfully, "Robert Sinclair." "Sinclair, as I live!" said my cousin, when I showed him the note. "Just as hot-beadfd as the captain himself. What are you going to do, Horace!" "Dor said I. "What can I dot" ; "Why, Oght or apologise." "Fight by all means, then," said I. "I'll never retract." ," r "Who will act as your friend In this matter?" "You, I hope, I know no one else I could ask." "Very well. I shall proceed direct to Mr. Sinclair. Have you any Instruc tions." "None whatever, except the request that you will arrange the affair to come off soon; to-morrow, if you possibly can." My cousin departed on his mission, while I, to calm the turbulent feelings of my mind, took a walk along tbe base of the mountain. My mind waa filled with the most gloomy forebodings, nor could I banish the thought of my la mentable fate coming to Ireland on a visit of pleasure, to be shot down by an angry gentleman. . I was roused from these gloomy re flections by the sound of a rapidly ap proaching carriage. I looked up and saw a horse and carriage come tearing at breakneck speed down the mountain road. "What reckless driving!" thought I. The only occupant of the carriage waa a young and beautiful girl, clutch ing wildly the seat lu front of her, not knowing the moment she might be dashed down one of the chasms of the mountain side. The anguish depicted on her sweet countenance went directly to my heart, and I resolved to make an effort to save ber. "Why should I hesitate." thought I, "when to-morrow I may fall a prey to the captain s bullet?" On came tbe frightened horse, and when within a few yards of me I In stinctlvely felt a desire to get out of the way; but a glance at the fair being In danger nerved me to the effort and I threw myself with all my strength on tne bna:e-rein. But wnat was my strength compared with tbe force that "HEAVESsi" SAID I, "WHT DOWT HE FIKE 7 resisted It? I was off my feet In an Instant but clung to the bridle with tbe tenacity of despair, for I well knew that to relinquish my hold would add to my OangA, as the carriage would certainly crush me beneath it While I did not succeed In stopping the horse, I somewhat lessened Its Im petuosity, and was at length conscious of others coming to my assistance, and knew we were saved. I fainted from exhaustion. When I recovered I found myself at my cousin's house, my nerves badly shattered by tbe excitement and my body considerably bruised; but be yond this no material Injury had been received. During tho evening my cousin In formed me that he bad seen Mr. Sin clair, and bad arranged a meeting be tween the captain and me the following morning at 8 o'clock ou the mountain, where we were to fight with pistols, at thirty paces apart, one shot only to be exchanged. ' "Under tbe circumstances, though," said be, "I am Justified In having tbe matter postponed until you are better prepared, and will see Mr. Sinclair to night for that purpose." "Not at nil," cried I; "that would be ascribed to cowardice. Anyhow, I will be all right to-morrow." Tbe morrow came, and, true to our appointment Mr. Fsrrel and I proceed ed to the spot Indicated on tbe moun tain. We were accompanied by a doc tor, In case bis services might be need ed, and Jemmy O'Neill, who drove tbe car. Though not yet 8 o'clock, we found the captain and Mr. Sinclair awaiting us. I noticed that tbe captain was ex ceedingly pale, and regarded me closely as I approached. Tbe preliminaries were soon over, and each of us took our stand, and bad tbe pistol given us. No effort at concil iation was made. Tbe signal for firing was to be tbe discharge of a pistol by Mr. Sinclair, Mr. Farrel stood to my right, encour aging me, Mr. Sinclair about midway between us, to my left, while the cap tain and I, with arms elevated, and pistols presented at each other, awaited the signal. Bang went the pistol, snd the next Instant though scarcely conscious of It myself, I discharged mine. As the smoke cleared away I beheld the captain standing Just as be was before I fired, and still holding his pis tol presented at us. wMSMMli ML "Heavens!" said I, "what suspense Is this? Why don't ha firs?" He ' did not do so, however, but throwing his pistol to Mr. Btnclalr, ap proached me and extended his hand. . "Mr. Morton," said he, "as It was I who challenged you to this meeting, I would say nothing to Interrupt the duel; but now that you have had your shot I will say I could not bring ray self to shoot at the man who had done me such an Invaluable service as to save tbe life of my beloved daughter." "Your daughter!" said I, In mtonlsb ment. "Yes," said he; "It was my daughter whose life you saved yesterday, so to day I withheld my fire on that account. Besides, I apologise for my rude words of yesterday morning, and admit I waa wrong In using them. For preserving iny beloved child, I thank you from my heart aud she herself will thank yon In person ere long." As I write these lines now, a familiar form Uaugs over my chair, and, looking up, I see tho same sweet countenance I beheld In the carriage on the eve of the duel on the mountain. Chicago Journal. AN OLD VIRGINIA DOCTOR. Ue Waa Far la Advance of Hie Time ta Medical Practice. Dr. Charles Everett, a Virginia puyat clan who died in 1848 at tbe age of 81, must have been as lonely la the prac tice of his profession as "the voice of one crying In the wilderness." Doctors In those days had little faith In the healing power of nature; their pills were large, their doses nauseous and freely given. But Dr. Everett, whose practice extended over eight counties, anticipated the medical beaching of ths present day; be held that the physl clan's aim should be to help rather than coerce nature, and .that medicines ought to be administered by the hand of a miser. Thomas Jefferson and Dr. Everett were neighbors, but politics separated them In social life. A Jocose remark, made by tbe ex -President In bis last 111 ness, pushed them still farther apart Dr. Everett had been In consultation with two other doctors, and as they en tered tbe sick man's room Jefferson looked up and said, "Whenever I see three doctors together I generally look out for a turkey bustard." Dr. Everett Immediately withdrew, highly offend' ed. Tbe Doctor was a keen observer of human nature, and often used the knowledge be had thus gained for the benefit of bis patients. Mr. E. C. Mead, In bis "Historic Homes of Virginia,' tells how tbe wise physician once, by his acquaintance with the working of a man's nature, roused a patient to con sciousness. A notorious old miser named Jones bad fallen Into a stupor from which nothing had been able to rouse blm Dr. Everett was called In, and made several futile efforts to rouse tbe old man. Seeing the county sheriff passing by, and recalling his patient's ruling passion, he went out aud hastily sum moned tbe officer to his belp. It was arranged that tbe sheriff should enter the sick man's chamber and drop his saddle-bags on the floor, making them rattle as though tbey contained a quaa tity of specie. "Mr. Sheriff," said tbe Doctor, as soon ss tbe Jingle subslded,"how much money did you say you had collected for Mr. Jones here?" Before tbe official could reply, the old miser stirred, and In bis eager, weak voice cried, "How much did be say?" Dr. Everett must have found many patleuts who appreciated his advanced medical opinions, for be left a fortune amounting to more than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. He was also in advance of his neighbors as to slavery. His will directed that bis many slaves should be freed, transport ed to Liberia and settled there In fur nished homes. One thousand dollars In money were also to be given to each family. In order to start them In their new life. His nephew, to whom the estate was left becoming convinced that the slaves could find no suitable borne In Africa, took advantage of a codicil to the will, and settled them In Mercer County, Pennsylvania. No Anxiety About Herself. Among tbe guests at an old lady's re cent birthday party was ber son. As tbe old lady was celebrating her centen nial and the son was eighty years old they made a remarkable couple. Tbe mother, In spite of her years, was so strong and vigorous, both mentally and physically, flint It seemed almost In credible that she bad rounded out a full century of existence, and her son had been absent from ber for several years. Tbe meeting between them had been very affectionate, and they bad remain ed close to each other during tbe son's stay. When tbe time came for blm to go he embraced bis mother, saying, wistfully, "Well, mother, I suppose this Is the last time I shall ever see you." The mother looked up quickly and as tonished. "Why, dear, what's tbe mat ter?" she asked. "Don't you feel well?" Telephones to Hospital Beds. Telephones are to be placed In the wards of ouo of tho Paris hospitals within reach of the bed-ridden pa tleuts, so as to enable them to com municate with their friends outside. There will also be an arrangement whereby the telephones may be switch ed on to a wire connected with a con cert hall, so that tbe performance may be enjoyed by tbe Invalids. Getting Hid of a Hpllnter. When a splinter has been drl rnn deeply Into tbe band It can be extract ed by steam. Nearly fill a wide mouth ed bottle with very hot water, place the injured part over the mouth and press it slightly. The suction thus produced will draw the flesh down, and in a minute or two tha atonm will extract splinter and Inflammation to gether. . Truant Laws Enforced.
