can be greatly Improved by intelligent

Mr.. Chase told me not long ago a story
about his Workmanship. the only one
ever heard him tell. and. as you will see,
1t Was not In the least boastfui. He was
painting the portrait OF William III. Ev-
arts. then secretary OF state, 10 hang on
the walls OF the state building In Wash
ingten City. MIR. Eyarts was giving him
sittings In his beautiful studio In this
city. IL was a particularly quiet MORN
ing and the artist was working his fast
est 10 catch the ever changing express
sions of the statesman's face. Suddenly
MIR. Eyarts said:
II was told the other evening. Mr.
Chase. that you were very expert
marksman with the pistol. DO you ever
intend % fight a duei?"
Il did not practice with that intention,
Mr.. Evarts,' replied the artist. why
do you ask?'
81 was thinking that 1t would not be a
fair conflict between you and an ordinary
man. ! shouldn't like TO sec IT..
I'm tell yoi what I'll do" returned
Mr.. Chase, smiiingiy. .I'il promise never
TO fight duel with any man who Ia not
rs expert with the pistol as I am.
IT am glad TO hear you say that" re-
turned the secretary. Then after a lit
tie pause he continued: Some day i
presume that shall read in the news
papers of William NJ, Chase's meeting an
antagonist on the field OF honor. and at
the command OF IRE. their bullets met In
mli-air.'''
And 1 have no doubt that If at that
time Mr.. Chase had fought with his
equal In craftsmanship their bullets
would have so met. At least. Il would
not have been improbable. provided that
both aimed on the same straight line.
Another famous old-time shot who sim
keeps up his interest In pistol and revoi-
yer shooting Is George Bird. the wealthy
club man. who has made some very re-
markabie scores. which are among the
prizes OF the Coniin collection. He is one
of the best all round shots In the city.
He is equally at home with the rifle and
shotgun.

Several years afterward. Mr.. Lord was
In the Jockey Club In Paris when he met
some of the ssme gentlemen who had
visited Coniin's with him In New York.
They told their friends OF his wonderful
skill and he was straightway invited TO
go with them to a nearby gallery and
give an exhibition. This invitation would
have shaken the nerves of most marks
men. but 1t produced contrary effect
upon Mr.. Lord. who always does his best
In the presence OF spectators. When they
reached the gallery he took his pistol In
his hand and walked down the alley to
the target.
Then he took from his waistcoat a pin
and stuck Il into the wood. He fixed his
eyes on its little shiny head and backed
slowly until he had rejoined his compan-
ions. Then he quickly raised the weapon
and fired. He instantly threw aside the
pistol and put on his coat and gloves.
The Frenchmen thought that he had
missed and was chagrfned. but there was
no sign of disappointment on Mr., Lords
face. Two or three of them hurried to

back the New Yorker was ready 10 go.
