The Herald's
Daily Short Story
The Three Cherry Pits

of an officer. The card revealed his
rank and inquiries at the bar soon gave
the necessary information He was
captain who had retired on half pay
because of poor health. In his youth
he had foughtseveral duels and was
known to be a dead shot.
The next day the young man receiv-
ed a letter containing a formal chal-
lenge accompanied by one of>the cherry
pits and he realized at once that the
captain wanted three separate duels,
one for each insult.
The challenge was accepted and the
challenged party had almost decided IN
favor of foils because of the chal-
lenger's reputation as a shot, but his
friends soon discovered that in his
younger days the captain had been a
teacher Of fencing.
They met and the privilege of firing
first was decided by drawing lots. Luck
favored the young man. but his bullet
went wild. Then the captain slowly
raised MS hand and fired, the bullet
piercing his adversary's ear just where
the cherry pit had struck the captain.
Here the first act ended. A month
passed and the young man already be-
gan to hope ne would hear no more
from the captain, when the second
challenge came one morning with an
other cherry and an apology for the de-
lay. The captain had been sick and un-
able to write before.
Again the two met, firing simultane-
ously, and the captain, who was not
hit. smashed his adversary's elbow
with bullet
The captains GOODNESS and remarka-
Bile skill with the pistol had of course
impressed the young man very much
The third pit was still in the captain s
possession and he had not forgotten
that it had hit his victim very neal
the heart.
\ One month passed, then another, but
no message came from his captain, who
was said to be seriously i'll.
At last the gentleman who had acted
as his second at the two duels came
one morning with a letter and the re-
ceiver felt Immediately that it contain
ed the fatal pit. The address was in
the captains handwriting, but 1t hat
evidently been written with great eff
fort and there was something solemn
in the mans behavior who brought th'
letter The seal was broken and the
envelope was found to contain nothing
but the cherry pit
What does that mean?" the young
man asked.
1T means that my friend has forgiv-
en- you. He is dead.
