Madame,u said |, "haN YOU fallen

Madame,n said |, chad you fallen
by the hands of those wretches, you
would have lived forever in history
and in poetry. Every art would have
been evoked to celebrate your memo
ry. You would have united the beauty
and fascination OF Mary, Queen Of the
Scots, to the virtuous fortitude OF
Marie Antoinette. 1t would have been
a glorious immortality /"
"Yes," she said, melting into the
sweetest, merriest smile; eyes, that
Is all very well but would like to
enjoy yet little in my life
"God grant you may, Madame /"
replied |.
The Empress then glanced at n
clock.
"You have come far to see me you
must return. Your train will soon be
due; you must not lose it," How |
wish that time had ceased to be-how
| longed to 60 on listening to that mu-
steal voice and looking into those pro-
team eyes! She rose, She was again
the Empress-and stood there grandly
by him, to receive my salutationS. 1t
was a rapid change from the fascina-
ting woman to the lofty sovereign.
She did not even offer me her hand /;
she only bowed her head, and ! ro-
treated backward in the hall, where
the lady in waiting received and con-
ducted me to the door.

What Men Died For

Colonel Montgomery was shot in n
duel about a dog; Colonel Ramsey
in one about servant; Mr.. Feather
stone in one about arccruit: Sterne's
father in one about a goose, and an
other gentleman in one about an
acre of anchovies; one officer was
challenged for merely asking his op'
ponent to enjoy the second goblet (;
and another was compelled to fight
about a pinch of snuff; General
Barry was challenged by a Captain
Smith for declining wine at dinner
table on steamboat, although the
General had pleaded as an excuse
that wine invariably made him sick,
and Lieutenant COwther lost his lite
in a duel because he was refused ad-
mittsnce to u club of pigeon shooters.
In lit duel occurred in New York
City, between Lieutenant Feather
stonchaugh, Of the 10Th, and Captain
McPerson, of the 42d British regi-
ment, in regard to the manner of
eating an car of corn, QUO contending
that the best eating was from the
cob, and the other that the grain
should be cut oil from the cob before
eating. Lieutenant Feathcrstone-
haugh lost his right arm, the ball
from his antagonists pistol shatter-
ing the limb drcadfully, so that it
had to be amputatcd. Graham, Ma
ior NOAh's assistant editor of the N0-
tional advocate, lost his life in 1927,
at the dueling ground at Hoboken,
with Barton, the son-in-law of Ed
ward Livingston, in simple dispute
about "what was trumps" in game
OF cards.
