Articles,
In the olden time, when dueling was
prevalent among the higher classes,
there lived In a small town In Mary­
land a young man named Arnold
Kemper, who kept everybody about
him In a state o f terror on account o f
his predilection for the code, He knew
o f every meeting between prominent
men that had occurred in the colonies
from the settlement o f Virginia. He
tfften declared that no gentleman
should refuse to light when challenged
and if he did so should be posted as a
poltroon and a coward.
Kemper had never been out himself,
but averred that nothing had ever oc- j
curred to necessitate his fighting. But
If— Here he would end his prophecy
o f what he would do in case he were
Insulted, but only so far as words were
concerned, for the expression on his
face was something frightful to be- !
held. Girls would clutch their lovers’
arms and tremble for them. The men J
themselves looked upon the threatened
with mingled fear and admiration.
If any one happened to stumble j

the unlucky man’s hat and out would I
come an obsequious “ Beg your par­
don.’’ Kemper would scowl, then his
features would relax and he would
say, “ Certainly; It was accidental,”
leaving those present to Infer that If
it had been intended It could only be
washed out in blood.
One day there cam e to the town a
quiet, unobtrusive young man who,
knowing nothing o f Kemper’s reputa­
tion for ferocity, was not so careful as
others in avoiding offending him.
