CHAPTER VI.

An hour afterward arrangements for
duel were completed. The young men
were to meet in the country, not far
from the Plover residence. Louis had
expressed this wish, 30 tR,t one or both
of them, as the case might be, could be
conveyed to the old house. The sun had
just risen when the parties met in a
little field surrounded by woods.
Louis" said Archer, "even though
we fight, let us remain friends. / can
not bear to think that the long time we
have spent together was wasted. The
word friendship was not to be blotted
from the page of human intercourse.
"Archer," replied Plover, Gas a man
my heart warns toward you, but as a
brother can shoot you"
Gentlemen, said one of the seconds,
"can't we somehow arrange this unfor-
tunate affair so that blood will not be
spilledW
81 am afraid not" Archer replied.

me from whom you got your information.
Then we can investigate"
81 cannot"
"Then sir, I am ready"
81 don't see any hahn in telling him" +"
said Plovers second. "Even though
you were to violate promise you could
find consolation in the thought that you
had saved human life."

my informant told the TRUTH
"I am ready" remarked Plover.
"Who is that climbing the fence9"
asked Archer's second. "Your father,
Plover. Yes, and he's got gun"
The old man slowly approached. TAX
ing his gun from his shoulder and cock
ing it, he said;
"pve got fifteen buckshot in each
barrel, and | will kill the first man that
says anything about fighting. Oh, l
heard all about it. You are fine lot of
fools. Going to shoot each other, eh9
Louis, Archer is right.
Louis dropped his pistol.
ELLA confessed it to me. She and
Eva have made friends, and, Archer, she
is at my house, waiting for YOU"
Archer dropped his pistol
Wouldn't this have been fine come
off," continued the old man. &C am a
great mind to take stick and beat all
Of you I---a-.-- O. tl.e IIoAsc. ore~i-

Louis and Archer embraced each
other.

Tho Vorse.Trader and the Horse.

The habitual horse trader is not al
ways bad man and neighbor; but ne Is
always supposed to need especial watch
ing. He, certainly, is double morallst
except where he sometimes merges ms
private code into his official one wholly.
For, the horse. which is among the no.
blest of animals really, is somehow,
practically. corrupting institution. de
contains in himself pretty nearly all pos
sibilities of the good and the bad. His
scale of developments is of immense
reach: and the worst of it all is, that
his Qualities arc only to be known, within
any moderate approximation, by an ex-
pert. 1t is hardly credible that under
the visage which seems so guileless there
can be hidden so much deception. But
we know, to our sorrow, that it does
hide there. We generally find out the
day after an unfortunate purchase that
the animal driven up so proudly before
us Yesterday is not the one that now
Jimps and wheczes. The real entity was
marvelously concealed. 1t is wonder
that the head of the mythical sphynx
was not mounted upon horse. If it
had been, Gdipus would have been worse
baffied to unravcl the mystery. The
s}ipperiness, therefore, of the horse
trader, is easily accounted for. He can
not very well help it. 1t is altogether
probable that he is half the time cheated
himself. That he has more virtue than
he is credited with is evident from the
fact that he is rarely, if ever, known to
be rich, and is never millionaire, -Ns'

nTha PInce Of Gold"

At Cuzco, in Persia, is temple of the
sun called Coricaucha or "The Place OF
Cold" one of the most magnificent edi'
fees of the East. On the western wall,
and opposite the eastern portal, was 8
splendid representation of the sun, the
goa of the nation. 1t consisted OF a
human face in gold, with innumerablt
golden rays emanating from it in every
direction; and when the early beams OF
the morning sun fell upon this brilliant
golden disk, they were reelected from It
as from mirror, and again reflected
throughout the whole temple by mum
berless plates, cornices, bands and i'm
ages of gold, until the temple seemed tt
glow with sunshine more intense thar
that of nature.

The Air Flower.

One of the curiosities of the New Or
leans exposition is air flower from the
city of Mexico. 1t is two inches long,
and resembles bettle with wings and
horns. The wings are of light sea -gr' Q l
color. dotted with specks. The horns
are snow.white, and at the points very
short. The body of the flower is pale
yellow and deep orange, and gives q
Slight hyacinth perfume. Including the
broad, banana shaped leaves, the entire
plant looks as though nodded in wax.

How to Avoid the Press Of Business

:It is matter of life and death. You
are overworked, sir, and must take a
rest"
"That is impossible, doctor. My best
men are all sick, my customers are com
ing in by the hundreds, and must be at
my post"
"If your custom should temporarily
drop off you could then find time to rest,
couldn't you9" :,
Certainly; but how can temporarily
stop off my old patrons from rushing in
on me, even if the case should be, as you
say, matter of life and death5"

CHAPTER II.

Young Archer sat in the Gladrow
parlor. Beside him sat girl with sunny
hair glowing cheeks, and eyes express
sive of tenderest love.

t'Nonsense, little woman. If she
were the only being in the world could
not love her."
"Tell me, Mr.. Archer" she anxiously
asked, care you quite sure that you
really love me2 If you should ever dis
cover that you had made mistake, how
awful it would be-"
"Such a time will never come" he
replied arising, leaning over and kiss

"Yes. The Plovers' will keep dinner
waiting. Goodbye, sweet girl, putting
his arm around her. 81 shall see you
again soon."
She accompanied him to the door and
kissed him.

Archer went down into the country
the next day, but instead of stopping at
Plover's, he went direct to Gladrow's.
A negro girl met him at the door.
"Can see Miss Eva"

young lady, appearing in the hall. Ar

n PiscafOrias Problem,

MUST LIVE BAIT BE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AN
GLEIls AND BAIT DEALEIts EXERCISED OVER
THE NEW FISH LAW-WHAT PROF BAIRD
AND MR. VI CHM SAY.
Washington anglers have heretofore found
II great convenience TO stop at the little cot
tases just beyond the aqueduct bridge and
secure a supply Of good live bait when on their
way UP the river to fish for bass This business
has been quite a source of revenue 10 many re-
sldcnts along the river bank during a portion of
the year, and they are greatly exercised over
the enforcement OF the new fishing law 1t for
bids fishing within the District limits except
with hook and line, and its strict enforcement
VIII prove OF great inconvenience to the anglers
and q serious loss to those who supply them
with bait The latter We're accustomed to secure
ite>h oalt py hshlhg with n net in the little
streams nOWlne INTO the river above George
town. Prof Baird, upon being questioned
about the matter, said that there is no way out
OF the dlfhculty, rs the law is imperative, and
that bait will have TO be brought from Alexan-
dria or caught in the streams on the Virginia
side above high water mark He added that he
wished L distinctly understood that he did not
iather the new fish law; that he did not consid-
Sr 10y any means a panacea for the ills re-
IatIhg 10 ilsh ana nshing. While ii may be OF
advantage in some respects there are n great
many Objectionable features Fish in this vi
c1nlty may be protected. that is, if they can get
within the limits of the District. The river
below Glesboro point Is now mass of fishing
nets, and fish will be lucky that escape past
them. F
Mr.. J. c. NcGinn, the author OF the act passed
DS the last congress to protect the Potomac fish
cries, says there is nothing in the law TO pro-
Inc law provides that IRON and after the pas
sage OF this act, for term of five years ii shall
not be lawful 10 fish with fyke-net pound-net
stake-net, wier, fioat-net, gill-net, haul
seine, or any other continuance, stationary
mYer, within the District of Columbia"
Inc penalties are next prescribed and after
that is proviso that nothing in this
act shall be construed TO prohibit angling or
nshing with the outline etc. IL is contended
by all the anglers who were instrumental in
getting this law passed that its terms render its
hat
there need be no uneasiness about the catching
OF live bait
As the month of May, the close season on the
fcto1nac, approaches, anglers watch more
eagerly the daily reports OF the condition of the
water Several weeks ago the river reached
very low stage for the spring season. Rains up
the country caused a considerable RISE but for
some days the river has been steadily falling
anu clearing, and unless more muddy water
comes down there will be very Iair bass fishing
Dy the middle or last OF next week Notwitfl-
standing the unfavorable condition of the
water, several angling parties ventured out
during this week, and . few bass have been
taken.
