"Have trtc villains murdered nuy of

"Or have they contented themselves

A Quaker's word is good, oveu among
thieves; so, after a hasty 4 good night,"
the robber thrust his pistol iuto hjs
pocket, and with his two companions,
one of whom had bold the reins of the
leaders, was about departiug.
"Stop IV exclaimed the Quaker, in
a tone more of command than of rc
quest.
"Stop! What for?" returned the
other in evident surprise
''For ut least two good reasons," w.if
tho reply, emphasized with a Couple of
Derringer's cocked und presented.
" Help !" shouted the robber.
"Stop !" the Quaker again exclaimed.
"And if any oue of (by sinful compan

The robber at tho opposite window,
and the ono at the leaders' heads,
thought it a gocd time to leave.
"Now, get in, Irh-nd," and the
Quaker, still covering his man, "an 1
take the middle seat ; but fir-t deliver
up thy pistol." The other hesitated.
"Thee had better pot do lay j I feel

out of his wits, now set forward at a

recovered his vivacity. He was es
pecially fane'i.iua on the Quaker's
prowess. "I'ou'ru a ru;n Q.iakcr, you
a;e. Why, you dou't quake worth a
cent."
"I nni nol a "Shaking Quaker," if
that's what tlK!e means J* .
"Of the ??Hickory," or rather of the
"Did Hickory, stripe, I should say,"
retorted tho lively man. Hut the Quak

the conversation flagged.

It was uow nccessafy, however, that

jovial companion had previously an
nounced his" :jntcctk)B of leaving us at
this point. He proposed ft postpone

to go an^l o'ruer.
"Nay," urged tlo Quaker, with all

Carnell accepted tho challenge, J". H

Dr. Richard Theo, of Roston, surgeon
and General Lawrence reflsree. The
weapons chosen were seven-barreled navy
revolvers, distance ten paces, and time
eight o'clock in the morning. It wot
arranged that each should draw at the
word fire, and advance firing until ouo or'
the other fell.
Tho seconds loaded the Weapons and
paced off the ground HI the' roar of tho
Fordhain Hotel. It so happened that a
large willow treo stood at each end of
the ground paced off, and just to the
left of eo<;h principal. They shook

referee counted "one,,'" "two"?before

went in the air, and Carnell's went into

"Say, Colonel' don't see any use in
you and I having any fuss; if you are
mind to treat the crowd I would just as
soon stop shooting." .^i
"We wou't iusisf on the duel going on
if you dnu't. but I wont treat, lam
willing to leave further proceedings to

After a few moments conference the
seconds decided that if each would, open
a basket of wine the duel might end

A Novel Duel.
Among the reruinsccjceg told of the
Franco-Prussian war is the account ofa
curious duel between two subordinate
officers of the French army.
"You intend to fight a duel, ehr" ask
ed too commandant.
"YeSj Colonel. Words have passed
which cau only be wiped out by blood.
We don't want to pass for cowards "
"Very well, you shall fight, but it
must be in this way: Take your car
bines, place yrmrselves on a line facing
the mansion where the enemy is. You
will march upon their garrison with
equal step. When sufficiently near their
p ist you will fire upon them' The Prus
sians will reply. You contintn to ad
vance and Cre. When ono fulls th c
other may turn upon his heels, and his
retreat shall be covcrc 1 by one of my
companies'."
"In this way."Concluded the oot?rrrarf
dant, the blood which you both demand
will de spilled with profit and glory, and
he who cornea back will do so without 1
regret without the remorse of having
killed or woandod with his own hands,
a Frenchman, nt a time when France
uccus an tier defenders und all her chil
dren. If you both fall who shall say
that yon nro cowards? T may also add
that 1 thus give you an excellent oppor
tunity for putting a couple of Oer mans
out of the way, a servier? thttt will pro
cure for you a go-d recommendation for
reward md promotion "
The matter was arranged*'as*the com
mandant had dictated. At lw6uty paces
from the walls of Mulmsaio.i, one of his
adversaries was wounded staggered and
fell. The other ran to him, raised him
up, and carried him away oir his shoul
ders amid a regular hail storm of halts?
both thenceforth, entitled to the greatest
honor and respect frouv the whole regi
ment.
