You can srP answered Col Lee waving his hand With
authority.
Upon hearing which, Aldmay very slowly stopped down
and nchng up dry dust between the thumb and fore
hnger of his right hand without speaking sgned that he
understood the arrangement and instantly assumed his
proper position.
General Bedsoe whose confidence in Mldnays hrmness
had been terribly shaken by what appeared be bis
l-opportnned Interruption instantly caught the deep in
tent OF Mdmays question: and the of his apparent
desire TO ory his finger against the possibility OF slipping

was all to derange Moetons calculations about bldma
making quick fire and General Bledsoe whose heart
moment before was collapsng with fear with thrill
OF admiration could now with difficulty refrain from falling
Mildmay's neck and bursting into tears.
Both Moreton and Midway seemed conscious that
the instant OF action had arrived for they simultaneously
and eourteousy raised their weapons, if presenting
arms Colonel Lee again, in a solemn voice asked
Gentlemen, are you ready?D
The combatants simultaneously answered 1--WE arep
Then said Colonel Lee:
- Gentlemen--FIRE--one
The numeral had hardly escaped the lips of Lee before
the crashing sound of Mldmays rifle echoed far and wide
and Moreton with his weapon undscharged sprang per-
pendcuar in the air. and then fell numbering the earth
for in his body trembed like aspen leaf he es
sayed raise himself and amid gurgng sounds could
be family distinguished the words "Iy WIFE my chill

corpse
Midway still standing in his place gazed sadly at the
group kneeing about the hieless form of the
splendid Mr. Moreton and then handing his weapon the
General who could conceal his exuation at the
result he mechanically moved towards his horse.
