CHALLENGED BY THE VICTOR OF
FIFTY DUELS.
The expression upon Karl's face
when he heard these astonishing
words from the lips of his friend was
a combination of incredulity and joy.
Why, not, when In their utterance
he saw one possible rival swept from
the field and felt that he had gained
a brother.
WHAT" he gasped.
Listen" said Paul, Ito my life's
story.
Il was born In New York city, and
my father, being a well-to-do man,
nothing was refused me that money
could buy.
Until I was about ten my life
logged on in the usual rut, with little
that was uncommon to mark it.
"Then began to notice that diff
ference had arisen between my pa
rents, who seldom appeared together.
Frequently I surprised my mother In
tears, while my father almost lived
at his club.
THE truth never dawned upon me
until one day my father took me into
the library-1 shall never forget his
awful face as he told me the story of
his great wrongs.
Pardon me If do not dwell upon
this matter, simply stating that the
man who had once been his bosom
friend had stolen the affections OF his
wife, and that they had fed, taking
my little sister with them.
"He made no effort at pursuit, for
he lay at deaths door for almost two
weeks.
Recovering, he fed from the scene
Of his disgrace, where the papers
Knocked his shame. and grief with
theories and false scandals.

self an orphan-he was lost with
others In that terrific blizzard that
search failed to find one Of the party,
and all hope was finally abandoned.
"By degrees there came upon me- a
two-fold desire that grew stronger as
the months passed. This purpose was
to visit Germany and to seek my sister
if she were yet living.
II would not confess then, but
know now, there was another motive
that urged me on-and this, revenge!

CHAPTER /.
A KNlCKERBOCKER FROM OVER
IN THE SEA.
When Paul Rhinelander an Am
erican student at the famous old Ger
man university Of Heidelberg. saunter-
ed idly along the aisles Of the great
public sarten he had entered, it was
wonderful spectacle that greeted his
vision in every direction.
To young Rhinelander the kaleido-
SCOPE spectacle was no new sight,
though It had never lost its charm In
his eyes. As Paul came strolling by,
= student, who wore the dark blue cap,
signifying that he belonged to the
Rhine Korps, put out his hand and
tackled him.
1t was evident from the momentary
flash Of pleasure that appeared
upon the face of tho American that
this yellow-haired young athlete was
at least of more importance to him
than the average run Of students with
whom fortune threw him in contact.
As they sat together at table and
chatted over the foamy beakers their
conversation naturally covered the
whole range of subjects that might be
supposed to interest students. Paul's
eyes at last settled upon certain
table at which sat q number OF per-
sons.
Karl saw him start and evince I'M
usual eagerness-when Paul turned to
him his face was possibly as impassive
as ever, but in his eyes q fierce light
had famed up that announced pur-
pose on the eve of accomplishment.
Pardon me, my friend. but you
know, as q comparative newcomer
here. I have not yet made the &C
quaintance of all students who have
distinguished themselves in the battle
of the books or the sword. do not
remember seeing yonder young fellow
before. and yet. unless my eyes de-
ceive me, he wears the insignia that
marks him a leader among the Saxo-
Prussians."
HE is a terror with the rapier, a
wizard, my fencing master has de-
Clebl leu. "ySCAl "dS oSSOuAISo ooAAS
thing fair. but Hoffman made sport
OF me. l was told came out lucky
in the encounter"
Hoffman, you said?" between his
teeth. as though something in the very
name stirred up ugly memories.
Conrad Hoffman, first leader Of the
fighting Saxo-Prussians."
1T is we'll. And now, my friend,
you who know so many Of the good
people in this university town, per-
laps you might even be able to tell
me who that lady is who Is with him.
Karl turned in swift anger. What,
you, too, are victim Of her fatal
beauty. Perhaps she has lured you on
as she did me, with false promises
and sweet phrases, the Jade! But l
have sworn that no man shall step
between and enjoy the undisputed pos
ession Of her heart. l am son Of the
Rhine, and we fight for those we love,
caring little though the whole world
be against u.s.
But Paul only laughed.
Reserve your fighting arm for your
real rival. Conrad Hoffman, after !
am done with him. Yes, I love that
sweet girl, my dear fellow, and why
not, when she Is my own sister!"

CHAPTER III.
~ cwOpnc, pOINTS

When Karl came with a carriage
for his friend at an unearthly hour in
the morning he found the American
composed and smiling, as though bent
upon holiday. A light breakfast
was eaten. Then they drove away
just as the first rosy flush Of dawn
appeared In the east
When they reached the court yard
OF the Hrschagasse Karl noticed
that ar! unusual number had turned
out this morning. Nor was he ignor-
ant Of the cause, since 1t must have
gone abroad that the new student, the
American protege of the Rhine Korps,
was about to take his chance before
the invincible Saxo-Prussian leader.
Half dozen affairs were on the
carpet for this particular morning, so
that Paul might have something OF an
opportunity to watch the others for
points ere his turn came, he being
the last. AS football is to American
and English college boys, SO dueling is
the height of ambition on the Teuton's
part.
Rhinelander eagerly watched the
solemn details of the affairs that came
off before his own, since it was his de-
sire to profit by the experience.
He saw Hoffman cycling him hun
grily, as wolf might lamb, and
knew the chief of the valiant SaXo-
Prussian Korps was anxious to get at
him, yet Paul had not the slightest
fear as to the outcome, and even de-
cided in his mind just how he would
slash the other on the left cheek so
as to mar his exceedingly handsome
Scountenance.
When the time came for him to
enter the arena he felt as fierce and
remorseless as the panther that
scrouches in tree over a spring and
waits for, a thirsty deer.
At last he was to taste the sweets 81

sist one Of the regulars.
BE wary! I'never saw such an
evil look on Conrad's face" whispered
anxious Karl.
Rhinelander was to all appearances
as cool as the most solid native in
the den; as he received and tested his
sword not nerve seemed to tremble,
and those among the Rhine Korps
whose fears had been great because
they had one and all gone down in
turn before that wizard blade OF the
Prussian began again to take fresh
courage under the belief that possibly
a miracle had been wrought tn their
behalf and q champion discovered by
their chief before whom the proud
banner of their gloating rivals might
be trailed in the dust.
OF course Paul, as a foreigner, could
not become Burschen, or full-fedged
korps student, but he fought under
their colors, and each man took as
much interest in him as though he had
been initiated into the most mysteri-
Gus rituals Of their secret order.
The hall was almost packed when
Hoffman's turn came, an unusual
thing, by the way, and which he took
as a great compliment to himself,
Judging from the smirk upon his
face as he waved his hand to enthusi-
astic admirers IN the audience.
Herr Hoffman seemed very gay.
Scores Of eyes surveyed him with
hatred and venom, and should defeat
come his way all conventionalities
would be brushed aside in doing tho
victor homer.
II ever those sturdy students prayed.
1t was that the god Of war would favor
the champion of their cause and hum
BILE the pride OF the vainglorious Prus-
| sian.
When all preliminaries had been
| gone through with the rapiers came
| together with a clash that announced
the opening Of the duel.
Hoffman's style was already we'll
! known to every man. who had learned
to his sorrow how battling an attack
he put up.
Hence their attention was directed
toward his opponent. and every mo-
ton Paul made was eagerly scrutiniz'
ed by experienced eyes.
When several brief rounds had been
fought, during which he met Hoff'
| mans attacks with an ease that aston
ished the champion, those who had
been most skepical began to pluck
up heart and hold their breath with
awe.

The marquis of Salisbury since he
became premier for the first time has
enjoyed surprising amount OF pa
tronage. The two benches of bishops
and Judges are almost solely filled by
his nominees, for, though the liberals
have been in power nearly three years
out of the last fifteen, they had scarcely
any opportunities of making appoint
ments during that period, and the &C.
clesiastical and legal survivors OF the
pre-1sS6 period are very rare.
To take the Judges, only one, lord OF
appeal in ordinary, Lord Davey, owes
his appointment to the liberals. In ths
Supreme Court Of Appeals Sir John
Righy was the last survivor OF Glad
stonian days. The chancery Judges are
all Lord salisbury's nominees, Sir Ar
thur Kekewich. the senior, having been
promoted for political services in 1886.
OF the Kings Bench Division, now
that Sir James Mathew has gone up
higher and Sir John Day has retired,
Sir Alfred Wills and Sir w. Ram
Kennedy alone owe their appointment
to liberal influences.
OF tho episcopal bench only the
bishops Of Lincoln, LANDAU. Ripon,
Salisbury and Southwell date from the
pre- Cecil dynasty, and in the course OF
nature at least three Of these will be-
fore long seek retirement. 1t Is cause
rather for congratulation than regret
that In fifteen years men who are gen.
orally Of full maturity when they begin
these high duties should give place to
younger man. But it Is a little re-
markable that during the three years
of liberal ministry SO few vacancies
should occur except by death. II bish-
OPS and judges were not above such
subterfuges, one might suspect that
they had postponed retirement in Or
der to put further patronage in the
hands of the present premier.
