his quick ear had caught a move

with an oath, sprang upon him,
and bore down his arm just as the
revolver went off, burying itself
harmlessly in the floor. Before he
could free himself from my grasp,
half a dozen officers were upon
him and he was quickly secured.
The next morning the papers
were filed with glowing accountsof
the capture of the murderer and
praises of my conduct. The prin-
cipal business men Of the town

A good story is told Of how q
certain French colonel put a stop
to duelling on the part of the ofiic-
ers in his regiment: This regi-
ment was famous for the duels its
officers fought among themselves
and with other parties. The mat
ter however, grew to be- such an
annoyance that at last the authori-
ties appointed new colonel. a
man who, 1t was expected would
stamp out all nonsense. Very soon
two officers applied for permission
to fight duel, and to the surprise
Of everybody it was granted. The
men went out, slightly wounded
each other, declared honor satisfied
and returned. The colonel sent
for them to come to him as soon as
they had recovered. "When offic-
ers fight" said he, Gin the regiment
/ have the honor to command,
they kill. Col" The men went
out again, and wounded each other
severely, and were six months re-
covering. Still again and again
they were sent out, till at last they
killed each other, and the practice
of duelling disappeared from that
and from many other regiments.
The story is told as suggestion
that many Of the European duels
are not mortal in intention. II
the code insisted upon death in
every instance, duels would be of
extremely rare occurrence, even
in France.
