CHAPTER XxxVl.
The Duel.

The Duel.
Frederick Courtland 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 brava-
do or any number of great oaths could
do. But we are not dealing with
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
gentleman to lie awake under such
circumstances.
About midnight it occurred to him
that 1t might be a good thing to make

Hardy, to appeal to woman like the

He said nothing that night to Wang
of the impending duel. but the boy
seemed aware that some danger
threatened his master. or that the lat.
ter was gravely troubled about some
thing. Although told several times,
kindly, to go To bed, he returned as
often, and lowered about Hardy. In.
deed, Wang responded to Hardy's
moods with that delicacv OF under

its master, or woman for the man
she loves.

badly, made no reply other than:
"The best-intentioned bullets some
times go astray. l turn him over to
you, lieutenant, I 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 a
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. 1 shall have chill
blains as result of your Hoolishness,
that may cause me more suffering
than your nasty little puncture."
Gortchakov departed in a 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

FILES SUIT TO RECOVER
INTEREST IN'CONCESSfON
Court Denies Claim Against Pan
American Railway

A suit filed in 1899 received attention
yesterday by Judge James of the su-
perior court, who decided in favor of
the defendant in the action brought by
Henry Kennedy against Walter Ever
ett for an accounting of property val
legged to be valued at $3000,O00.
In the complaint Kennedy stated that
in 1897 he had agreed with Everett to
obtain funds to enable j. M. Neeland
to procure concessions from the Mexi-
can government for the establishment
of a railroad in the state of Chiapas,
together with the concession for the
formation of bank with capital OF
$125, 900 and the issuance of notes for
circulation to the amount of $75OOOO.
The complainant further declared
that Everett obtained the concessions
for the bank and for the railroad. which
was known as tho Pan-American rail-,
way, and part of which already had
been constructed by other capital. He
declared he frequently had asked fol
his share in the concessions, but al
ways had been refused. He asked the
court for an accounting and for one
half interest in the institutions.
Upon the showing that many persons
had lost money in the projects, Judge
James gave Judgment to the defendant

BRINGS BACK PRISONER
WHO ESCAPED FROM COURT

Frank Todh, who calmly walked out
of Judge Wilbur's court and disap-
peared about three weeks ago while
being tried on a charge of passing a
bogus check, was brought back from
San Bernardino to Los Angeles yes
terday by Deputy Sheriff Gillis. Todh
had secured employment as a dish
washer in San Bernardino.
While at work recently he could not
resist the temptation to take watch
from the vest Of a brother dishwasher.
When he was arrested Los Angeles
authorities were notified and Gillis
was Immediately dispatched to bring
him here.
Todh explained to Gillis yesterday
that he thought that his case had been
finally disposed of by the Los Angeles
court. He said he stood around in the
court room for an hour or two after
Judge Wilbur had continued his case
for two weeks, and inasmuch as no
one paid him any attention he conclud-
ed that he was intruding and quietly
took his departure.

milk train enabled a daylight thief tc
enter the residence of Charles Burr

of gold bracelet, a pearl brooch, six
plain gold rings and a small amount
