was tho duel-
Ifit'fl strong point,- ihul ho never used

was well .calculated to play tho part

As he spoke, revolver In hand, ho
took a few steps toward hltv audience,
with his back to tho target, then sud
denly turned and with tho rapidity of
lightning emptied It of Its six shots.
Indeed he llred so rapidly that I was
barely ablo to keep up with him Iu

reckless us to permit him to flro ball
cartridges, well knowing that If I did
I would bo a dead man. llesldes, ho
would havo riddled tho target and thusj
