ING the redoubtable Capt. Du Val. n of
the best s~wordsmen in tine whole south
Of France. was borne home SPECIFICS
and desperately wounded from the last
duel that he was ever TO fight.
Il knew from the very first how 1t
would be-" said Du Walls second, telling
the story that evening 70 his friends at
the club. When my nan stepped for
ward the TrsnsylvRniAn gave him one
look such a look!-just the way that
lion tanner last year used 20 look at his
beasts. 1t made me tingie all over, l
know that. Poor Du Val seemed TO feel
il too. for l saw his color change and
his hand shake fancy his hand shaklngq,
and then | knew that keretsenyi had
him. SO he had, sure enough, for they
had hardly been at it three minutes
when Du Val, for the first time IN his

for sn instant. and the next moment l
saw him lying at my feet ali over blood.
He'll never fight again, poor fellow! for
his right arm is crippled for life.
But this duel was fated 70 have more
/ important results than the spelling Of
| Capt. Du Val's workmanship. Just out
OF the town lived an old Gasoon gentle
man, N. de Ia Roche, with a pedigree as
long as hfs purse was short, whose one
regret in life was the loss Of the estates
of which his family had been deprived
by an unfortunate accident known 70
history a. the French Revolution. His IA

duel by Du Val the old man wa nat

The prince received him c~ourteously, re-
turned his visit. and finding his hosts

homage from a1nan who had the whole

countries too, for that matter-any one
who has the reputation Of being very

l. IL was true that in her Utmost heart
Madeleine felt an instructive shrinking

who, when they first met, had darted al
