Colonol Skorrett, Major Marsh, and Captain Pickering were sitting in their Hotel Anglais. Paris. The^r room st the Hotel Anglais, Paris, were Americans on Cheir travels, three rough-looking down-casters, who had gone through the wont tire of the •fvil war. Dr. \icainj,%ytrgoon in the Trench* army, was standing in front of diem, regarding them with a severe air. ‘*1 dome to ieneunce to you as you Jinve iosull my friend, M. ke Lieutenant Foulon. Ho demand zo satisfaction,”> said Dr. Vicairc, particularly address ing Colonel Skorrett “Yon have kick his dog. You write apology, ver goot You write no apology, you choose zo— zc— ah! vat you caltl’amie—ze.” “Woopons.” said Major Marsh, com ing to his assistance. Ur. Vicaire bowed. “Apologko fur kicking his darned enri” shouted the Colonel. "What did 'it come snapping and barking at my hcols for? 1 would kick Mr. Foolong himself if ho did that*' "Aht” replied the doctor, "ver goot!

"You mean ze-zo— Major Marsh explained in panto- the fiery doctor, "you rnaJcM* gOtM) of me! I see you after my friend have ze satisfactifin." “Don’t get so hot, now. What do you say to stuffed clubs in h darkened room?” It took a long time to make the doo tor underatand this proposition, bat when be did be rejected it with con stantly increasing wrath. Captain Pickering suggested a rough-and- tumble in a pit—kick, soraten, bite, claw, and gouge. Major Marsh thought an excellent way of settling the diffi culty would be for tho two adversaries to go into shallow water and see which oouhl draw the other. Finally, Colo nel Skerrett suggested that they should bring a keg of powder on the field;cast lots; and whichever lost should ait up on tho keg and apply tlm cigar he had one And all. "Why,” said tho Major, "it ’pears to me that we haven't got tho choice of wcepons at all.” , "Of no weapon, yes! But thiff''lr'yo^ weapon. Swords, dagger peestoi, gnu—zoy all weapon. But ze gouge, ze feest, ze chip rempll, or ?at you ceB iour!" and the with r&ge. Major quietly, Qrioncl Sker- aoted 00, in "Precisely,” answered 'the Ootonel. "I presame,” said tho LieutooaSV with a sinister smile, "that in any event the service of a doctor or sur geon will be unnecessary.’ "I am sure of that,” said tho with a grin. Fonlou loft the room, and had gofio Colonol Skerrett said. "I’ll light this hero devil, but 1 ain’t gwioo to be blowed tp,atoms, nor 1 ain’t |;wino to let that there fool blow him self to atoms. ” Tbo throe friends took measures accordingly. The next day, st, tho amiointed time, tWlivo «(*v. fil|UqkW vigorously, ■were on the ground. Lach party had brought its powder-keg along. The Major and Dr. Vicaire tossed up. The Major won. Pbulon turnod ghastly pale, but walked firmly to the keg.which tho Americans bail brought and sat down on it. It,was an ordinary cider keg, and Major Marsh knocked out the buug. All then retired to a rafo dis tance except tho Colonel, whoiemained standing by Foulon’s side. The latter, down whoso livid face tho sweat was rolling, took his cigar from his mouth and advanced it, still glowing, to tkb open bung-hole. “Hold on there," said the Colonel, "that cro cigar is lit.” "Certainly it is,” gasped Foulon, his lips quivering in spite of himself. "VVcll,” said the Colonel with a grin, “you bu’nt such a darned fool as to put a lighied cL'iir into a koij of powder, be you? When was you born? "Sir,” ^^iied the lieuteuaut, vainly endeavori^f to hold the cigar motion less in bis snaking baud. "1 have given my word that it I lost the toss-up 1 should put this lit cigar ” “Hold on; Vou didn’t suy 111.” "Well, the cigar 1 was smoking.’’ "Put It out then.” "Sir, you have run the risk that I ran. 1 have lost, and 1 but do As yon would have done.

"Go away here, you shall be kill!” shouted Vieaire to tho Colonol; bat the latter remained quietly beside the vic tim. Vioaire covered his face with his hands, and waited for the awful mo ment which was to blow his friend to Atoms. There was a dead silence^ and then a slight hiss was heard. Vicaire looked np.
