once fought a duel. He came on 10 the
ground with his surgeon and took his sta

his meerschaum, and when the word was
given he fired. The unfortunate Floridian,
his antagonist, was shot and fell. MuratS

The prince, who had little ibger cut

surgeon" What for you go there? See

retired. .,. ..

but of what use were they? They were
very large shoes, her mother had last
worn them, they were SO large; and tho
