His eyes caught sight Of a blue en-

gram open. 1t was Ruggles' answer
to his question:

The dispatch informed him that he
was really a pauper and also that he
had a second for his duel with
Poniotowsky. His guests stood for
mally before the young barbarian.
Look here" he continued amiably.
Il can't meet your Dago friend like

They retired as formally as they

as the subject was Love. and there
was no money in the question. and as

which were countless. and he never left
her with any certainty that he should
see her again. or with any idea Of

leave me alone and don't come to see

When Poniotowsky received this
note he had shrugged. and decided
that II he lived after his duel with
the young savage he would 60 to see
