glance for glance-I saw him waver-
his hand shook.
Three and the white handker-
chief huttered to the ground. Instant
ly and together we fired. FarTari's
bullet whizzed past me, merely tear
ing my coa and grazing my shoulder.
The smoke cleared-Ferrari still stood
erect, opposite to me, staring straight
forward with the same frantic far-of
look-the pistol had dropped from his
hand. Suddenly he threw up his
Observation-Disclosures with a smoth-
cred groan fell, face forward, prone
on the sward. The surgeon hurried
to his side and turned him SO that he
lay on his back. He was unconscious,
Trough mis- dark eyes We're wide open
and turned blindly upward to the sky.
The front of his shirt was already
soaked with blood. We all gathered
round him.
"a good shotF' inquired the Mar
quis. with the indifference of a prac-
ticed duellist.
"Ach! a good shot, indeed" replied
the little German doctor, shaking his
head as he rose from his examination
of the wound. Excellent, lie win be
dead in ten minutes. The bullet has
passed through the lungs close TO the
heart. Honor is satisfied certainly!'
AT that moment a deep, anguished
Sigh parted the lips of the dying man.
Sense and speculation returned 10
those glaring eyes so awfully up
turned. He looked upon us all doubt
fully one after the other. till finally
his gaze rested upon me. Then he
grew strangely excited-his lips
moved-he eagerly tried to speak. The
doctor, watehful OF his movements,
poured brandy between his teeth. The
cordial gave him momentary strength
he raised himself by a supreme eff
fort.
Let me speak" he gasped family,
'to him. And he pointed To me-then
he continued To mutter like a man in
a dream-'to Observation-Disclosures
him alone,"
The others, slightly awed by his
manner, drew aside out OF ear-shot
and I advanced and knelt beside
him, STOPPING my face between his
and the morning sky. His wild eyes
met mine with a piteOus and beseech-
J Ing terror.
'In Gods NAME" he whispered
thickly, "who are you?"
"You know me, Guido.' I answered
steadily. Il am that Fabio Romani
whom you once called friend. | am
he whose wife you stole! Il am
he you slandered. whose hon.
or you despjsed! Ay! look Mt me
we'll. Your own heart tells you who
l am"
He uttered a low moan aud raised
his hand with a feeble gesture.
'Fabio? Fabiof" he gasped. ale

This suggestion agreed TO, Ferrari
left his place near the tree against

spot his seconds pointed out to him.
He threw off his hat and oyerc0at,
thereby showing hat he was still in
his evening dress. His face was Tag

dark rings of pain round them,

anguish. He eagerly grasped the pis-

IL closely with yengeful interest. I

1t was at a meeting of a South Boston
democratic club prior to an election some
years ago, says Harper's Magazine. The
hall was filled; sons of Erin largely pre-
dominated, and the air was appropriately
clouded with smoke from pipes of various
ages, colors and degrees of offensiveness.
The appointing of committee of five
for what purpose need not appear-was in
progress and nominations We're being
made all over the hall with an enthusiast
tic indifference to the laws of the much
lamented Mr.. Gushing. The acoustics of
the room were not of the best, and amid
the clamor that greeted each name pre-
scented it was extremely difficult to follow
the proceedings At length a burly Irish
man at the back of the hall jumped
to his feet, ard, waving blackened clay
pipe at arms length, shouted in a voice
that might have been heard around the
block:
MT Chairman
All sounds in the hall came to an end

Col William R. Morrison had an expe-
rience years ago which left a serious I'M
preston upon his mind with reference 10

self with two or three Of the little bags
and made my way 10 the little trading

ceeded 10 load me W with a supply Of
groceries. ] went back 20 the camp, and,
after some months more work. concluded
mat 1 had all the gold needed ana de
termined TO return 10 Illinois. In San

for I'VE Missouri bank bills of the de-
nomination of 5000 each and sailed for
Panama. When / reached Panama / dis

use, and that when / wanted 10 pay hotel
Dllls or provide myself with clOtnlnB or
other articles. il was necessary 20 take
out one of my little bags and have some
of the contents weighed.
by this time" continued Col. Morrison,
the impression was pretty strong in my
mind that this yellow dust was current
all over the world and was exchangable
any where for any sort OF commodity, sim
ply because il was hard TO get and rep
resented labor. From Panama / cOnclud-
ed to visit Cuba and there / had the same
experience. No one would look at my pa

be good Tor anything / might Wish 10

my bag for more DUST for a ticket to st.
Louis and a suit of clothes in which to
make a good appearance on returning to
my friends BY this time my faith in gold
as a worldwide medium of exchange was
getting pretty strong, but 1t increased
fifty fold when / reached St. Louis and
found that the 500 bank bills which 1 had
carefully carried all the way from San
Francisco were absolutely worthless. The
banks of issue had failed. Fortunately
had obtained the bills from the banking
house of Page & Bacon, and they We're
honorable enough to refund me the money
through their branch house in St. Louis
Naturally this episode has left an i'm
preston on my mind as 10 the Importance
of intrinsic value in currency.
