Lord March. afterward the Marquis
of Queensberry, was not accustomed
to view a duel with unbecoming appre-
hension and usually attended an affair
with an air OF enjoyment that often

RAISING to his adversary. But he was
served at last with that sauce which
the proverb explains is for the gande.
as well as for the goose, II was when
he was challenged to fight an Irish
sportsman Lord March appeared on
the ground accompanied by second,
surgeon and other witnesses. His op.
ponent arrived soon afterward with a
similar retinue. but added TO by per.
son who staggered under the weight Of
a polished oak coffin, which he depos-
tied on the ground. end up with its lid
facing Lord March and his party. Lord
March became decidedly uncomfort
able when he read the inscription plate,
engraved with his own name and title
and the date and year of death, and
peace was patched up.
