tentions, and so marked had this become
that those present watched the play with
constantly increasing interest, fully be-
lieying that both exhibited a case of love
at first sight. The Georgian seemed to
have the lead on the Mississippan. and
when the dancers We're called to take
their places he led the belle Of the valley
to a place in the set. At this point the
Mississippian was seen 10 approach the
couple and heard TO claim the lady's hand
for the dance. An alteration ensued, but
both were cool, brave s0ldiers-two of the
best shots in the army-who did not be-
lieve in a war of words. So IL was ended
by the Georgian dancing with the lady,
and the significant remark of the Mis-
sissippian that Il will see you after this
set
"When the dance was over the Georgian
was seen to seek the Mississippian, and
together they each called friend from the
crowd and departed When outside both
claimed that an insult had been passed,
which could only be wiped out in the
blood of the other, and that duel to the
death should be arranged at once. A tull
moon was just appearing above the tops
OF the surrounding forest, and l tell YOU
this talk of blood in the silence of the
night was anything but pleasant. No
argument, however, would avail with
these men, so it was arranged shat the
duel should take place on top of the Blue
Ridge, on the road that passes through
the gap; that the weapons should be
pistols at fifteen PAGES, and to fire at or
between the words, zone, two, three firing
to continue until one or both were dead.
"The point was reached, the ground
measured of, and the men took their
positions without a tremor. The moon
shed It's pale light down on a scene never
to be forgotten. A moment or two and
the silence was broken by the signal,
'One, two, three At the word 'One,'
the report of two pistols rang ont on the
midnight air, but the principals main
tanned their respective positions. The
Genrgian's left arm was seen TO drop
closer to his side, but the Mississippian was
immovable, and still held his pistol to
the front. Again a pistol shot was heard
coming from the Georgian, and the
Mississippan still held his position, but
did not fire. The Georgian protested that
he did not come there to murder him, but
no answer was returned. The Mississippi
plans second approached his principal
and found him dead, shot through the
eye on the first discharge of the weapons.
Death, it seems, had been instantaneous,
so much so as not even to disturb his
equilibrium"

prospered well and one day last week he
hed him to town and bought license.
Sunday afternoon the bridal party re-
paired to Mount Pleasant church, where
Rev. William Alexander made the two
trusting and tender hearte bone of one

was arrayed in a most dazzling costume.
\ bright blue ColicO dress covered her
shapely form and around her dusky
throat was tied a perfect cloud of red
and blue ribbon. which streamed about
her head and fell down her back in
graceful and gaudy waves. The groom
was spruced up in suit of blue and
width cottOuade. while hat of ancient
architecture and of ancient dimensions
adorned his head. The party separated

WITH disgust ana separation.
There i too much prose in life and too
htsIe poetry. When a youth first falls
III love he is full of sentiment. The
ecstatic glamour has taken possession of
him. and he idealizes even the wart on
his lady's cheek. He quotes Moore pro-
fnsely when all goes well, and when he
is snubbed he walks acoss Brooklyn
bridge intent on suicide, but gently con-
cludes to postpone the event in order to
die of old age.
Ten years Of married life, however,
saps the poetry and leave him dry. The
pet the duck" the darling" be
comes the ''old woman" No more bout
quets, for the grocer's bill staggers him.
Tom Moore gives place to a growl be-
cause the coal has given out If his
youngest has pain in the pinafore'
and he is compelled to trot around the
room all night he wonders how much
paregoric would keep the child still with
out killing him, and comes to the con-
clusion that ''life's young dream is
rather different from life's reality. At
twenty this is all nonsense, but at forty

It's true"
