Mel Hubbell Again

Mrs. Donor of Oaktield reports
that while out in the grove taking a
walk last Thursday, dog close by
began to bark and this was followed
by the sharp crack of a revolver and
the hurried retreat of the canine.
The old lady thought the shot was
directed at her and began to let out
frantic yells of fright and distress,
when all of sudden voice was
heard from the adjacent thicket ex-
claiming, "Don't be afraid auntie, |
was shooting at the dog" when, up
on looking in that direction, she
claims she saw not the apparition
but the veritable Mel Hubbell, coat
less and hatless; and the supposition
is that he gets his meals with a dis
tant relative near, or in Oakfield and
watches the sun shine through the
day.

use up one hour-beginning at four
in practicing with the revolver and
finding out which end Of it to level at
the adversary. At four we went down
into a little gorge, about mile from
town, and borrowed barn door for a
mark-borrowed it Of man who was
over in California on a visit-and we
set the barn door up and set rail
against the middle Of it to represent
Mr.. Laird. But the rail was no proper
representative OF him, for he was longer
than rail and thinner. Nothing would
ever fetch him but line shot, and
then like as not he would split the
bullet-the worst material for dueling
purposes that could be imagined. 1
began on the rail. couldn't hit the

rail. Then I tried the barn door, but
l couldn't hit the barn door. There
was nobody in danger except stragglers
around the TANKS of that mark. l was
thoroughly discouraged, and I didn't
cheer up any when presently we heard
pistol shots over in the next little "a
vine. l knew what that was-that
was Laird's gang out practicing him.
They would hear my shots, and, Of
course, they would come up over the
ridge to see what kind of a record l
was making-see what their chances
were against me. Well, l hadn't any
record; and l knew that if Laird came
over the ridge and saw my barn door
without a scratch on it, he would be as
anxious to fight as I was-or as had
been at midnight, before that disastrous
acceptance came.
Now just at this moment little
bird, no bigger than a sparrow, flew
along by and lit on a sage bush about
80 yards away. Steve whipped out
his revolver and snot its head off.
Oh, he was marksman- better
than I was. We ran down there to
pick up the bird, and just then, sure
enough, Mr.. Laid and his people came
over the ridge, and they joined US.
And when Laird's second saw that bird
with its head shot off, he lost color, he
faded, and you could see that he was
interested. He said:
Who did that?'
Before I could answer, Steve spoke
up and said, quite calmly, and in a
matter-of-fact way:
Clemens did it,
The second said: Why, that is
wonderful. How far off was that
bird?'
Steve said: oh, not far-about
80 yards
The second said: We'll, that is
astonishing shooting. How often can
he do that?'
Steve said languidly: o, about
four times out Of five
I knew that the little rascal was ly-
ing, but l didn't say anything. The
second said: Why that is amazing
shooting; I supposed he couldn't hit
church
He was supposing very sagaciously,
but 1 didn't say anything. Well, they
said good morning. The second
took Mr.. Laird home, little lottery
on his legs, and Laird sent back a note
in his own hand declining to fight
duel with me on any terms what
ever.
We'll, my life was saved-saved by
that accident. I don't know what the
bird thought about the interposition Of
Providence, but l felt very, very COM
Portable over it-satisfed and content.
Now, we found out later, that Laird
had hit his mark four times out of six,
right along. If the duel had come off,
he would have so filled my skin with
bullet holes ii it wouldn't have held
my principles.

Mark Twain's Bloodless Duel.
(North American Review.

Mark Twain tells the story Of his
dueling experience in Nevada back in
1864. He was at that time an editor
Of the Virginia City Enterprise. He
roasted man named Laird, the editor
of a rival journal, replied in kind, and
Mark was prevailed upon by his friends
to send him challenge. 1t was ac-
cepted.
Then they took me home. I didn't
sleep any-didn't want to sleep. had
plenty of things to think about, and
less than four hours to do it in-be-
cause 5 o'clock was the hour appointed
for the tragedy, and I should have to
