In New York at both Polo grounds

custom prevails on nearly every base

steeds gave a great bound and went
scurrying through the early streets
of the Muscovite capital. In half an
hour they had reached their destina-
ton, thick wood on the banks of the
Moskva. Hardy's other second was
already on the spot with surgeon, a
fat little man, wrapped thick in furs,
who walked briskly to and fro in the
snow, carrying case Of instruments.

CHAPTER xxxvI.
The Duel.

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 1t was irregular for
gentleman to lie awake under such
circumstances.
About midnight 1t occurred to him
that it might be a good thing to make

"There!" said Hardy, kindly,
touched by the boys concern. Get
up and sit in that chair. Bring it
here by the side Of the bed. and I'll
tell you all about it. l, an American,
Frederick CORTLAND Hardy of Boston.
Mass, have fought duel, and, l sus.
pect, about a woman!"
"A woman" stammered Wang,
turning suddenly pale.
"As nearly as can find out. I was
calling on the Princess Romanovna,
paying her my respects, when In came
her cousin. the Prince Romanoff, and
insulted me SO grossly that l deemed
1t my duty to demand satisfaction of
him. strongly suspect that his
highness antipathy to me is rooted
chiefly In the fact that /. on one oc.
casion, saved the life Of his fair
cousin. He struck me in the face

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 silk handkerchief through
tan operation that caused the pa
tient to bite his neither lip till 1t bled,
but did not draw groan from him.
You will be all right in about a
month" said the surgeon, on taking
his leave, but 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 a result of your foolishness,
that may cause me more suffering
than your nasty little puncture."
Gortcbakov 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 large
honed, 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 1 have suffered with
fear and anxiety, as felt that you

danger. And you left me this-this-

he went back to bed, and at last sue

awakened by Gortchakov pounding
upon his door and shouting:

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 of. 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-
MANOR. 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 II he felt
the least tremor Of fear, he knew how
to disguise 1t. Did 1t seem at all
unlikely that high-bred, aristocratic
woman, the daughter OF a hundred

his opponent. A long dueling pistol
OF excellent make and perfect pre-
cision was placed in his hand.
Are you ready. gentlemen" asked

ly. You will raise your weapons and

some sleep. Good night!'-and he
retired to his own ROOM
He began to undress slowly and
absentmindedly, standing for long min
utes motionless in the middle of the
floor, or dropping into a chair, in deep
thought, as though he were confronted
by some weighty problem that he
could not solve. He turned of the
light at last and crept into bed, but
he was destined to be again disturbed
by Wang, who tapped timidly at the
door,
THAT boy is becoming nuisance!"
he muttered; there is such a thing as
too much devotion. Well, Wang!" he
shouted, sharply.

Hardy arose. went to the door and

He tore open the envelope and read !:
