aid assembled the rostrum and raped
for order. He announced the appoint

journed until p. m.

1.-THE next afternoon the young womai
was informed that the claims of the two
young men were to be settled by friend
~ contest In the studio. as she had sug-
gested, and that a mutual friend who
knew something Of the use of the foils
was to be present and act as referee. At
the appointed hour Saturday night the
trio was admitted to the studio by, the
young woman, who excused herself and
took with her the keys. About Is min"
utes later she entered the room in which
the contest was to take place, bringing
with her dozen friends, just to see fair
play as she remarked to the embar-
raised principals.
1.-THE contest began with the utmost
punctiliousness, but the first bout was
not over when it became evident that the
principals were warming to their work
with more than scientific energy. The
! clashing foils struck fire, and the
thrusts were made with a vigor which
would have done credit to the artful
Spicca. The spectators cringed as the
heat of the duel became more, intense
and it became evident that it had gone
beyond the bounds of a friendly trial Of
skill Suddenly the 'plotter who was re-
sponsible for the ARRAY gave a little
scream and rushed forward, while the
referee called a halt. The hand of Bru
no had received wicked jab and was
bleeding. The young. woman rushed to
her studio and brought back bandages
and bound up the injured member.
mo sooner were these repairs made
than the room again resounded with the
noise Of the combat. This time Harold
form Of wound in the forearm. This
was bound up. and once more the comba
tants were welding the foils. In vain
the spectators tried to dissuade them
from finishing the bout according to rules
and their agreement. They would listen
to no argument and insisted the affair
was serious and must be finished. AL
though the faces Of her guests were
white with fear, the young woman who
had inspired and managed the affair en-
joyed every thrust of the foils as keenly
as if the men handling them were Knights
of: the Round Table fighting for her IA =
vor.
"When at last the contest was finished
and the decision announced the princi-
pals hurried away with scant courtesy
and without the waste of politeness in
their parting words. The decision was
unexpected and intensified the strain, for
it was in favor Of the man who had re-
ceived the worst Of the battle. Then,
with true feminine peryersion, the young
woman shifted her allegiance from the,
one who had previously been regarded
as her favorite. This further complicat-
ed matters, and both principals have sent
word to her that the other certainly in
tended .inficting fatal wound if possible
and that the contest begun in friendship
had been finished in deadly earnest"
