How Buffer Bob was Bluffed,
Carp" Corr. Cleveland Leader.
Another story I lately heard O
Brown relates to his quarrel with Bot
Tombs, which liked to end in a duel
but which failed because Tombs die
not send the challenge. Brown has 8
great reputation All over Georgia TO,
being q, very strict Christian. He has
been noted as a temperance man, and
he is always to the front IN any relig
ious movement. Some OF the old WON
en- in Georgia expect to see Brown
translated some day. and it is said
that he can make as good a. religious
exhortatlon as hecan a stump speech.
Well, when Tombs was at one time
especially angry at Brown, he sent q
military friend of his to ask Brown
whether there was anything in his
religion which would prevent him from
acce pting q challenge.
Brown received the strutting colonel
and listened to his question, looking
him in the face with his cold gray eye
and stroking his long gray beard as
he did so. As the colonel concluded
Browns big mouth opened like a
trap, and he slowly and articulately
said: II have carefully considered
my duty to man and to God. I have
canvassed my religious belief, and
have come to the conclusion that you
may tell Gen. Toombs that | car
really find nothing either in it or my.
self that will prevent me receiving 9
challange from him at any time O,

The colonel said good.day and left
Brown, and for some time the due!
hung FIRE. During this time it is said
that Brown was busy six hours out
OF twelve firing at marks with q Win.
chester rifle, and that he finally got
the aim to such q perfection that hi
could snuff candle about eight times
out Of ten. Toombs for this reason
#or some other, failed to respond, and
the matter dropped, but the congress-
man who told me the above story as.
serts it as his belief that had the due
come off Brown would have killed
,Toombs with no more computation
than he exhibits when he carves one 81

through the same ceremony deposited
our treasure IN a comfortable chair,
which happened to be exactly like the
other.
Still later, the two doctors, with the
new made papas, came in for a look
at the wonderful little creatures, and,
the better to see them, wheeled the
chairs close to the fire, talked them
over q bit, and pushed them back
again, after the usual careless fashion
OF mankind, then left the room.
When l, shortly after, returned
alone, it was to find Mrs. Dickson's
nurse standing irresolute between the
two chairs which contained our hopes,
a perplexed, almost wild, look upon
her face, which grew into actual con-
sternation as entered. ~&.s
|, What could have happened!
I asked the question breathlessly,
and she answered with q nervous
laugh.
''The babies-.somebody has chang
ed the chairs, think. Which one
this is yours, isn't it,"
"Why, yes, THAT is'-1echoed her
nervous laugh-"where did you put
your UAOy, anyhow!
''That's what I can't seem to re.
member; you see, these chairs are ex-
actly alike, and was in such hurry!
Besides, both have been moved from
where they stood"
A strange thrill crept down my back.
l stepped closer, and, uncovering the
wee faces, gazed at them intently.
Would no lurking likeness, no family
feature, no fatherly instinct avail me
now? Not one!-to me they seemed
as much alike as two leaves on q bush,
and looked up helplessly, only to
meet her brows contracted in q per.
picked frown.
Then a bright thought came to me-.
"Why of course; you can tell them
by the clothes, Mrs. Hart''
She shook her head and explaine d.
Alas! those misguided little mothers,
thinking it would be $50 cute" had
made their first clothes precisely alike,
from shirt to blankets.
l dropped into chair; cold perspir-
alton started from every pore.
Here was case where even mother
love could not avail, for neither Of
the new-mothers had yet seen her
child. What could we do?
'Don't," l gasped, "don't for tho
love OF heaven! tell our wives 'twould
kill them!" Then I rushed out to
find Will and impart the awful intel
ligence.
Meanwhile Mrs. Hart had summon
ed Cettie's nurse and the four of us
soon stood over those helpless babies
vainly endeavoring to settle their fu-
ture fate. -.,-
Hooked at Will, and he looked at
me; he was pale, and Ifelt so. Ono
Of those iufants was his; one was mine
but which? We stepped aside and
talked it over, while the nurses whis.
pered by the 6reside. Neither of us
arc gamesters, or betting men. Yet
here was g. case that we must decide
by chance. Il ~
Revolving as it may seem to all who
have never been i'll q like dilemma, we
agreed to settle it by lot -. 7
Will, always fertile in expedients,
proposed the manner of it, and. with
faces solemn enough for q funeral we
went through the strange ceremony.
