An Exciting Scene.
An exciting scene was witnessed
about 8 o'clock the other evening In a
street In the Monceau district A
young and elegant woman was walk

she suddenly pulled q revolver out Of
her pocket and discharged three snots
at her companion. "A passer-by wrest-

handed 1t to q couple of policemen who
had run up, and at the same moment

were not concentrated on another man,
whom he had thought of challenging
to a duel; indeed, he had appointed an
interview with him In another street
for the earlier part Of that evening,
and had gone there when she tripped
along instead. looking more elegant
and captivating than ever. On his ex-
pressing surprise she asked him to
call at her house few hours later, as
she had something OF Importance to
tell him. which would, perhaps. lead to
their reconciliation. He agreed, and
appeared at the appointed hour. .
