when Anguish announced that his
principal chose pistols, a strange CLEAN
crept into the eyes of the Axphainians,
and they seemed satisfied. Colonel At
tobawn acted as interpreter during this
short but very important interview,
which was carried on in the Axphain
language. Lorry sat on the window sill
steadfastly gazing into the night. The
visitors departed soon, and 1t was I'M

descend to meet Mr.. Lorry at s o'clock

There was no law prohibiting duels in

his friend.

DON'T you ddre 10 drtnk thdt todetg
end. His royal highness is doomed"
Lorry spoke with the earnestness and
conviction Of one who is permitted to
see into the future.
Calmly he prepared TO write some
letters, not TO say farewell. but to ex-
plain TO certain persons the cause OF
the duel and TO say that be gloried in
the good fortune which had presented
itself. one OF these letters was ad-
dressed TO his mother, another TO the
father Of Prince Lorenz and the last
to the Princess OF Graustark. To the
latter be wrote much that did not ap-
pear in the epistles directed TO the 9th
ers. Anguish had been in his room
more than an hour and had frequently
called TO his friend and begged him
TO secure what rest he could in order
that their nerves might be steady in
the morning. But it was not until
after midnight that the duellst sealed
the envelopes, directed them and
knocked Mt his seconds door to say:
IL shall intrust these letters to'you,
Harry. You must see that they start
on their way tomorrow"
Then he went TO bed and TO sleep.
At 6 o'clock his second, who had
slept but little, called him. They
dressed hurrlcdly and prepared for the
ride 10 the valley. Their own new
English bulldog revolvers were TO
serve as weapons In the coming COM
bat, and a carriage was TO be In wait
ing for them In a side street at Z
o'clock.
Before having their room they heard
evidences OF commotlon in the hotel
and were apprehensive lest the in
mates had learned of the duel and
were making ready 10 follow the fight
ers 10 the appointed spot. There was a
confusion of voices. the sound of rush
ing feet. the banging Of doors, the
noise increasing rs the two men
stepped into the open hall. They were
amazed to see half dressed men and
women standing or running about the
halls, intense excitement In their faces
and in their actions. White uniformed
policemen We're nocking into the corrl-
doris. Soldiers, coatless and hatless,
fresh from their beds. came dashing
uDon the scene. There were excited
cries. angry shouts and. more mystify-

go over there, Lorry. There may be
something 10 unnerve you, and that
must not happen now. Let us go down
this stairway. 1t leads TO a side en-

down the stairs when the thunder Of
rushing feet In the hall above came TO
their ears, causing them to hesitate be
tween curiosity and good judgment.
"They are coming this way"
Hear them how'll What the devil
can be the cause Of all this rumpusT"
cried the other.
At that instant a half dozen police
guards appeared at the head of the
stairs. Upon seeing the Americans
they stopped and turned as II to oppose
foe approaching from the opposite d.
rection. Baron Dangloss separated
himself from the white coats above
and called to the men below, In alarm

Smoking on Street Cars.
OF The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Smoking is a luxury and fad. ana IS
without question an annoyance to a large
number of people. Therefore the street car
companies should prohibit smoking on their
vehicles The smoke, ashes and cinders
In the face and eyes are very unpleasant.
have seen clothing badly damaged by hot
cinders from a tobacco pipe. A gentleman
would certainly not wilfully annoy any one
in any place or at any time, and can surely
forego the pleasure of smoke during the
short period that he rides upon street
car. Opening the front gate on the cars
would be dangerous practice. as 1t would
make void the purpose for which It was
Intended. viz, to prevent the risk of pas
sengers from getting under the car in case
Of its premature starting. The crowding
of the front platform could not be avoided.
and would surely interfere with the duties
of the motorman, who has already respon-
sibilities enough. Smoking Is not a neces-
sity or convenience to any one. and should
be prohibited where it annoys others.

students presented to him beautiful gold
clock. The presentations were made by
Mr. F. G.. Fitzpatrick on behalf of the lay
students. and by Rev. John w. Melody, s.
T. l.. on behalf of the divinity students.
In their speeches of presentation both gen.
tlemen spoke Of the regret among the stu
dents at Bishop Conaty's departure, and
they extended the best wishes of the stu
dents body for his success in the new field.
Bishop Conaty responded in a short ad-
dress. in which he urged the young men of
the university to be loyal to the institution,
and wished them success in their work.

Is In complete command of the situation.
II wish we could build many more such
houses throughout the District and could
bring some of them into the city to replace
the old structures we are now using,

The engine company at Congress Heights
will be installed in the building just as

It will be remembered that when the work
Of construction on the new engine house
was first started. there was strong pro-
test from the residents of that section re-
garding the style of brick to be used. The
Commissioners asked the protestants to
wait and see the finished building. They
are now more than delighted with the brick
and all the fittings of the house.

One of the strong features with this

tend 10 attend the performance or not.
Mr.. Main rightly believes that a circus
can be best judged by its paraphernalia
and horses, and that is why he throws
himself open to criticism in the early
hours of the day of exhibition. This
street pageant IS over mile in length
and in its many constant changes is de-
cidedly kaleidoscope.
Eight bands of music, steam organs
chimes, bag-pipers. jubilee singers and
drum corps furnish the music for The
long line of new parade features Over
500 thoroughbred horses. hundreds Of
male and female riders, open cages al
legorical and historical floats. and tab
leau wagons, soldiers of the world. wild

Another pleasing departure is the
