himself as an n%strologer capable OF

nominal remittance was asked.
It was found hat Or. Badger was
not an astrolOger and that his read
ings were not made up according to
the rules of astrologs. His readings
consisted OF twelve forms. one for

Many men in the course Of the dif-
fcrent hobby periods OF their youth
We're struck with the stamp craze"
Nearly all will recall the days that
were spent in securing the neighbor-
hood for new varieties, the hours at
FASTING ana counting, as well as
many other tasks thev somehow i'm
agincd themselves duty bound to
perform.
This fact. that nearly all men ut
some time in their life were stamp
collectors, is said to account for the
popularity of the official stamp coli
lection OF the United states postoffice
department maintained in connection
with the postal museum. The off
Gals of thc department SAY 100000
men call every year to see the mu-
scum stamp collection.
The %postoffiCc department museum
is not by any means n new institution.
but many notable additions have been
made to it in the last ycat. Consc-
qaently. it il now quite fun OF inter-
esting objects. 1t contains almost
everything from u lock Of Charles
Guitcau'S hair to models of the big
battleships of the navy, but by far
its most interesting feature, accord
ing to the officials in charge, is the
stamp collection. Few visitors miss
that sight, and many "hobbytsts'
spend hours poring over it.
Uncle Sam rs o stamp collector is
a most signal success He not only
has u complete set of his own stamps,
but q complete collection from every
other stamp issuing country IN the
civilized world as we'll His collection
is valued by the department AZ 5000
900. but stamp dealers say it woulu
demand q figure many times that
sum If placed on tho open market for
sale.
The fact thai Uncle Sans stamp
collection is absolutely complete Is
q statement difficult to comprehend,
even to those who have been collect
ors themselves. Most Of those who
We're collectors in years gone by will
remember how many empty places
there were in their albums when they
gloried in the possession of 1000 or
1000 specimens. They will recall
how many new varieties above the

NEW RULING AS TO
POSTMASTER'S
SURET|ES


! ~ WI - 1-f NHfN ~
Postmaster General Hitchcock h,s
issued an order amending the postal
regulations so as to permit postmas-
| ters at first and second class offices
TO make use of approved Sbonding
companies as sole surctics on their
official bonds. 1t has been the praC-
tice heretofore to accept corporate
sureties for one-half the penalty on
a ~posumaster's bond. the other half
being personal. In the majority Of
cases where postmasters give personal
sureties they also furnish corporate
sureties indemnifying their personal
bondsmen. The change in the rcgu-
lation obviates the necessity for two
bonds. and is in the interests of sim
pliclty. 1t overcomcs the difficulty
experienced by -postnasters in the
larger cities in obtaining individual
bondsmcn for large amounts and re-
lieVcs them of the necessity of plac-
ing Themselves under obligations to
those who go upon their bonds.
The postmaster general has also
approved a new method of fixing the
penalty Of -postnlasters' bonds which
has resulted in q material reduction
in the amount Of the bonds, especial
~ in the case ~ the large city offices
Under the schedule formerly used the
penalty on p~ostinaster's bonds IN some
Instances was more than q half mil
lion dollars. Under the new schedule
the maXimum penalty is 100000.
which furnishes adequate protection
to the government in view of the fact
that every subordinate cmploXc hold
iug q position Of financial responsible
ity is also required TO give bonds 10
tho government.
Both of these changes in the prac-
tice relative TO postmastcrs' bonds are
directly in the interests of the post
masters and the postal service. They
are IN limo with the postmaster gen
erals policy Of Introducing business
methods throughout all branches OF
the service.

CHAPTER xxXVl.

The Duel.
Frederick CORTLAND Hardy slept
poorly that night. The typical hero
of romance, when about to fight duel
at break of day goes to bed and sleeps
more soundly than ever before in his
life This deep slumber proves his
iron nerve more incontestably than
any amount of swash-buckling bravo
do or any number Of great oaths could
do. But we are not dealing with a
typical hero of romance.
Hardy, as he tossed about for hours
on the bed, felt genuine disgust at
himself that he was unable to go to
sleep. He experienced no fear, and he
had feeling that it was irregular for
a gentleman to lie awake under such
circumstances.
About midnight it occurred to him
that it might be good thing to make

hour they had reached their destina-

cried Gortchakov, consulting his

this, is more than l can understand.
Let them shoot each other and be
damned, if they want to, but not at
this hour and in such weather"
1--WE shall try to be expeditions"
said Hardy, cheerfully, "and, in the
meantime, l beg pardon for my share
in the inconvenience to which we are
putting you. You're right about the
sleigh bells. Here are our friends

"There!" said Hardy, kindly,

his will. Such a document already
existed. but he now arose and, putting
on dressing-gown and slippers, went
out into the office. Lighting the gas,
he wrote as follows:

of all my faculties, write this as cod

faithful secretary Wang, and l heartily
commend the said Wang to the favorable
notice of Frederick Emery, president of
the American Trading Company in ST.
IBERIA. The boy is faithful, honest, and
possesses a degree of business ability
quite astonishing in one so young:
FREDERICK COURTLAND HARDY.
This he folded and put in an en-
velope on which he wrote with lead
pencil, For Wang" Tossing the en-
velope on table in his sleeping room,
he went back to bed, and at last sue
ceeded in getting to sleep. He was
awakened by Gortchakov pounding
upon his door and shouting:
Get up, my friend. get up! We
shall be late for the rendezvous"
Hardy dressed hurriedly and went
out to his second. who was waiting in
the office.
The lieutenant's sledge and beauti-
full team of thoroughbreds was wait
ing at the curb.
Jump in, pray" he said, land let's
be off. And we mustn't talk Of any
things happening. There is nothing
going to happen except that you will
shoot a great rascal and bully through
the heart, and we shall come back to
a hearty breakfast, having done a good
mornings work with very little waste
of time"
Gortchakov had now fixed on Ro-
manofTs heart as the most pleasing
receptacle for Hardy's bullet.
The coachman cracked his long
whip and the high-strung, nervous

of either man trembled in the slight

Two shots rang out, almost stimuli
taneously.
Neither man fell.

shot"
Very WE'LL" replied Hardy, quietly;
"but il we shoot again, l shall shoot

time conveying to him the assurance
of my most distinguished considera-
ton"

my principal demands another
shot," said Koukolnik, advancing. He
presents his compliments to Mr..
Hardy and suggests that he has not
done justice to his great reputation
for skill. Perhaps he will get better
control of his nerves, now that he has
escaped danger once, and his hand
will not tremble as much as it evident
ly has done this time"
Tell the prince for me that, If we
shoot again, shall do myself the hon
or of lodging a ball exactly midway
between his eyes"
Koukolnik started for the prince
with the message. He had not trav-
ersed over half the distance when
Hardy said:

on you for a moment"

Gortchakov, putting his arm about the
Americans waist; and, indeed, dark
stain, rapidly spreading, dyed his
waistcoat and shirtfront.

Hardy, and tainted away.

badly, made no reply other than:
THE best-intentioned bullets some
times go astray. i turn him over to
you, lieutenant, l have not deprived
you of the pleasure of killing him
yourself"
His coat and shirt were cut away
from his chest at the hospital, and a
young grub of an intern assisted the
surgeon in washing the wound and
passing a silk handkerchief through
tan operation that caused the pa
tient to bite his neither lip till it bled,
but did not draw a groan from him.
"You will be all right in about
month" said the surgeon, on taking
his leave, but l beg you, if you think
of fighting again, either to postpone
your little affair till the spring
breezes begin to blow, or don't call
on me to assist you. | shall have chill
blains as result of your foolishness,
that may cause me more suffering
than your nasty little puncture."
Gortchakov departed in surly
humor, evidently disgruntled because
his principal had failed to remove the
lieutenant's chief rival, as he sup
posed, to another sphere, where they
neither marry nor are given in mar
riage.
Hardy was left alone with a large
boned, florid nurse of peasant type,
and the young grub of an intern, who
was disposed to be inquisitve as to the
cause of the wound.
He rid himself of the intern by pre-
tending that he desired to sleep, and
then sent the nurse to telephone for
Wang
The boy arrived about noon.
What has happened, my dear mas
ter?" he sobbed, sinking on his knees
beside the cot, and taking one of
Hardy's hands in both his own. Are
you wounded? Have you been at

dent? Tell me, l beg of you! You do
not know how l have suffered with

trees a sledge could be seen approach
ing, drawn by three horses, running
like mad. The driver rose to his feet
and settled back on the seat, bringing
them to a rearing, paving, sudden
halt.
The details were soon arranged and
the ground measured off. Hardy did
not pay any attention to these pre-
liminaries, but walked briskly back
ward and forward to keep his feet
warm, glancing occasionally at Ro-
manoff, who stood leaning against a
tree, his hands in his ulster pockets,
an insolent, careless smile on his
handsome face. He certainly was a
splendid specimen of manhood,
thought the American, and if he felt
the least tremor of fear, he knew how
to disguise it. Did it seem at all
unlikely that high-bred, aristocratic
woman, the daughter of hundred
warriors, should have fallen in love
with a man like that?
1T is time now, my friend" said
Gortchakov, coming up to Hardy. Il
must trouble you to remove your coat.
But you will not catch cold, for it will
only take you a minute. Upon my
word, admire your nerve. You ought
to have been a Russian. You will
shoot him at the word 'three!"
Hardy removed his ulster and faced
his opponent A long dueling pistol
of excellent make and perfect pre-
cision was placed in his hand.
Are you ready, gentlemen" asked
Koukolnik. Il will count three. slow
ly. You will raise your weapons and
take aim when l commence, and will
fire at the word three.
AS these words we're being uttered,
Hardy fixed his eyeglasses more
firmly on his nose, the while he ex-
amined the distance and the person
of his antagonist with a cool, prac-
tieed glance.
Koukolnik began.
