times.

A Unique Duel.

.Aparallel to thatfamous duel fought
in darkened chamber, in which one
of the combatants 1res up the chimney,
and unwittingly bags his opponent,
who has taken refuge in that uhdesira-
bic retreat, is furnished in a duel
which was fonght the other day at
Bonn, on the Rhine, between two foot
men. They quarrelled, and cards
were exchanged and the usual forms
were observed, friends of both parties
waiting on each other. The weapons
were to be pistols. But curious and
altogether unusual condition was pro-
posed and agreed to. Both combat
ants were to be blindfolded. The
duel took place as arranged, and it is
not surprising that three shots were
fred without result. After that, honor
was declared satisfied. The persons
who ran the greatest risk in the mat.
tiers apparently were the seconds, but,
like prudent men, they lay fiat on the
ground, and the bullets vhizzed over
their PROSTATE forms.-Household

CHAPTER XIV.
THE LADY OF THE FAN.

Olive Gaye, whose hand still rested
within Stanley's arm, had felt that
electric thrill which had shot along his
nerves, making him for brief time
almost rigid. His other arm moved
convulsively, and his white hand went
quickly toward his mouth, and for q
second or two twisted his blonde
mustache. Beyond that, there was
not the faintest sign of agitation in
his pale face, not tremor of the eye
lid; nothing but blank, questioning
amazement in the look that met the
beautiful. wild eyes of Celestine Helm
holtz.
"Oh, Carlos! Carlos! Do you not
know me? Am I so changed in few
short years, while you are not day
older-not day, not all hour! Just
the same, and love you the same, my
Carlos, in spite of all! They told me
yon were dead! Did T not see your
dead face and weep over it, and for
give all, all! AS l do now, when I
lind you alive after all these years!
Will you not speak to me?"
She sprang toward him and would
have caught him in her arms, but Stan
ley stepped aside, drew his arm from
olives clinging fingers and held up
his hand, as it seemed, i'll the effort to
defend himself, gently but resolutely,
from the grasp of mad womab.

dignity, "It is easy to see that there
is some mistake here: and Catering
as your words are, I must entirely
disclaim all right to listen to them, as
:bey are evidently meant for some
other person.
At this, Mary Hamilton recovered
her voice; and her senses, when hac.
almost left her, between horror, fright
and ainazement, came back to her.
She was as pale as ashes, and her
voice tremblel pitifully. BIZ: as she
glanced at her lover and met his reas-
anYing smile, she said with consider
able self-possession:
