theatcr after :Ae play was over. Their
friends iuterceded, but only made matters
worse.
One Of the men challenged the other.
Seconds were named on the spot, and both
men insisted that the pretiminarics of the
meeting should be arranged at once.
The seconds stepped into an adjoining
room to make the grim ARRANGEMENTS for
the duel, leaving the Two pruci pals IN the
same apartment.
"What shall be The weapons?" the second
of one party asked; "pistols:'
NO" said another; with pistols It IS all
over 50 quickly that one has no chance to
see anything"
The partition between the room in which
this discussion occurred and the one in
which Cham and Glle, clarng at the floor,
heard every word.
At the remark just quoted they looked
up nj each other.
THAT isn't very funny to hear" said
Cham.
Hardly" said Gille, "We'd better go
out on the stage"
They went out into the solemn gloom of
the deserted stage and found that also un-
pleasant
"Let's 90 out on the street, said one to
the other,
They went out and presently saw good

In contrast to the maneuvering, design
ing Rrl, let us note the influence OF one
who, be she handsome or hOmcly, knows
how to have jolly good time with a dozen
boys. She is interested In their schemes,
introduces them good naturally TO all her
friends, sits quite naturally with two or
three Of them, dividing her sandwich
between them while they bestow upon her
a liberal amount Of their cake, fruit or
candy. If sometimes one OF the group in
his deep admiration Of her maideuly
charms forgets his substantial sandwich
and pauses to look abstractclly into her
honest, charming face, he is not harmed
in the least, neither is she, fot her head Is
on straight; she looks at people through
right seeing eyes
Boys arc something to her besides beaux
they are good comrades, friends. If they
bring the girl their sweetest roses she &C
cepts them gracefully, but without any Of
the Sinking or other stiffness practiced by
her ovcrconscious, nirtatious ue.uhUor.
Her mother dresses the young creature Is
becomingly rs she can afford, and he boys
know that her taste l. modest and correct;
they take pride in it, too, in a manly kind
Of way.
In her early childhood this charming girl
played with boys and girls alike; she took
the reins sometimes, driving a uciEhbor4
boy to school, while another day she en-
acted the part Of a frio6y colt. IN school
she sat with her brother or by the side of
boy near her own age who knew that Le
was lucky in being seated there. OF beau
talk our unconscious charmer had heard
little at home, bat she had learned that
beauty IS a precious gift Of nature, some
thing for which we deserve no credit, and
although beautiful and becoming clothes
cnb 2nce ones charms they are Of little con-
sequence when worn by the shallow, ma
neuvering, nirtatious girl. Willie acting

her soft hands on my face as she secured

THE CAMORRA'S VICTIM,

lin Rome a band Of tho NIala Vita fraternity
an offshoot Of the Camorra, an gani1ation
of robbers and assassins -l79 in number, were
nearly all convicted of the crime charged
against them, after two months trial, and re-
ceived sentences OF from six months to fifteen
years imprisonment. The Maa Vita is some
what similar to the Malta. That so large "a
number should be tried and convicted in Rome
is proof that such dangerous organizations
have existence IN Italy, despite the assertions
TO the contrary made in connection with tho
New Orleans affair. The Carbonaria, the Ca
mora and kindred organizations have existed
in Italy for hundreds of years.-San Francisco
Argonaut, June, 1891
