Desperately concerned, Maj. God
,dard began to walk back and forth
across the room. A moment later,
hearing steps in the hall, he went to
a window and looked out towards the
road. He saw Blanche descend the
steps, cloaked and gloved for her mys-
FERROUS journey. He waited till she
had turned the corner below the
gates and then went out of the house
and followed her, taking III to keep
out of her view. He saw her get on
the trolley car, and seeing that he
had ample time to catch the train he
waited for the next car and board
ed it.
When he reached the station the
train was almost due. He saw moth
ing of Blanche and supposed she was
in the ladies' waiting-room. He went
into the mems waiting-room, and
when the train came he stood at a
window and watched her pass out and
get into one of the coaches. Watch
ing his opportunity he glided through
the crowd of b%ystanders and took a
seat in the smoking-car in the front
part of the train. !
He had half an hour to reflect over
Blanche's unusual conduct, but he was
no nearer to understanding it when his
train arrived at the New York station
than when he had left Lyndhurst.

CHAPTER XIV.

Twelve days had elapsed since he re-
ceived that transatlantic warning,
and yet nothing had occurred to sug-
gest that Jeanne had arrived. 1t was
on the morning of the thirteenth day.
He was alone in his study when the
postman left a letter for Blanche. He
took it, and as he placed it on the table
where it would meet her eye when she
came in, he noticed that the super
scription was written in a very poor
hand, as if it were executed by an il
literate person. 1t was a small cir
cumstance, but Goddard's mind was in
famed with morbid fears of impending
evil. He sat down at the fire and took
up the morning paper, but the letter
on the table held his attention as if it
contained a warning from the Infinite.
He heard Blanche coming, and, rails
ing the paper, he pretended to be abb
sorbed in reading, though he was really
watching her face as she advanced to
the table and took up her letter. God
dard saw a look of wonderment pass

A NOTABLE DUEL IN 1896.
Two Slaves Fought in 1t, One ReinE
Disabled by a
Shot.

"From time to time," said an old resi-
dent, II have noticed references to
duels fought in the vicinity of Wash
ington years ago, but the newspapers
do not seem to know that Il was
fought between two colored men, I be-
lieve slaves, about 1886.
These were Jack Magruder and John
Bell, who had married sisters and were
both hired out by their masters to resi-
dents of Capitol Hill. In the course of
time each became a father, and as
every crow thinks his w coat the
blacklist, each father thought his child
the smartest, and they often had words
as to which was the finest baby.
FINALLY they were about to fight.
This occurred OF a store, and the sug-
gestion was made that as an insult had
been given the aggrieved party should
demand satisfaction on the field of
honor and not resort to brute force
when they could fight like gentlemen.
"The suggestion was adopted. Knch
chose a friend, and the arrangements
being made the insult was wiped cut
with a little blood: The time set wos
four p. M; place, the Leech pond. on
the Tiber, above X street; weapons,
guns; distance, 80 PAGES. 1t had been
whispered among the boys that the
event would occur and a number we're
there, I with others.
Both showed up and exchanged
fierce glances before being placed in
position. Then the weapons were hand.
ed them and at the word, so promptly
had they pulled the triggers, there
was but one report, and each was p,lz.
zled to see that his opponent was
standing unhurt, for they were good

deliberate aim, and were dissatisfied

with a harmless substance, were passed

one a few shots were dropped. Then al
the word both fired, and a shot taking
effect in the right wrist of one II
stopped further shooting; each of tAe
principals feeling elated that before
witnessesthe had not shown the white
feather, but had acted as gentlemen.
"They retired from the field amid
the plaudits of the spectators, the
question as to who owned the smartest
baby still undetermined"

A SUIT OF PAINT.
Primitive Apparel That Was Worn
When Mankind Was in It's
1910. Infancy.

Z Writing "About Clothes" in St. Mich.
olas, George MacAdam sketches the
pedigree of the full dress of the present
day. Long, long ago, he says, when
mankind was still in it's babyhood, some
hairy lord of creation happened to glance
into a quiet pool, and saw mirrored in
the water his own image. Comparing
himself with the birds and beasts, bs
saw that he was plain and dingy; and
he became envious of the b~rilliant-hued
feathers of the birds, and the stripes
and spotted furs of the beasts. One dag
he discovered a bed of ocher. Sticking
his finger into this bright-colored dirt,
he saw that his finger became coloreH
like the dirt. No doubt he stared IN
wonder for a long while at his strangely
colored finger; and there gradually
crept into his simple mind an idea
which must have made him laugh for
joy.
"Ha, hal" he cried. "Here's my
chance to give myself a new complex
ion-to make myself as bright and
gaudy as Mother Nature has made the
birds and the beasts"
So he daubed himself from head to
foot with dif%ferent-colored ochers until
he was bright and many-colored. This
covering Of ocher was the original an
%cestor of the clothes which you and I are
wearing at the present day.

love and not to you I should never be
happy again. No, you must not ask
that"
But"
"Please stop, dear; you make me feel
so unhappy" Her lower lip was quiv-
ering and he saw her eyes fill. He
drew her into his arm and tried to
comfort her. Her agony was too deep
for utterance.
Presently she looked up, and with
a hand on each side of his face she
gazed at him from her big candid eyes.
Her features were set, as if with an
unpleasant thought.
"Don't-don't keep a thing from me.
darling" she said, using that term of
endearment for the first time. "Some-
thing is wrong. What is it? Is it more
financial difficulties? If so, use all I
have in the world if you wish. I would
be happy with you on bread and
water"
"It is not that" he declared, breath
ing rapidly.
.'Well. what is it?"
Nothing that you can help" he
sighed, and he left her where she stood
at the window.
The threat contained in that cabled
message from London hung over him
like q weight suspended by the hand
of destiny. That the woman he had
once blindly w%orshiped would be guilty
of deliberate murder he did not doubt,
and as the time which Jeanne would
take to recross the ocean went by his
fears increased until his waking and
sleeping thoughts contained but one
mental picture, and that was the sud
den meeting between the two women
and the awful consequences to Blanche.
In the deadly still hours of night he
would wake with a start, imagining he
heard a sound in Blanche's room, and
thither he would creep, holding his re-
volver ready for use, only to be greeted
by the sight of his beautiful treasure
peacefully asleep inrthe light of the low
burning night lamp.
After one of these frights he went
back to his chamber, and for the first
time for years he knelt and tried to
pray. His prayer was short, but he
repeated it over and over with sup
pressed groans.
"Oh, God, in Thy vast goodness heap
the punishment of the vilest of the
damned upon me, but spare henry
child wife. Spare her, oh, God! Let
not the consequence of my weakness
fall on her. This is all I ask, pleading
for just punishment for myself, but
that she be spared from pain or unhap.
