A duel was fought in Texas by
Alex Shot and John S. Mott. 1t
is reported that Mott was shot and
Shott was not.
No doubt it is better to be Shot
than Mott.
There is rumor, however, that
Mott was not shot, though Shott
admits he shot Mott, which sug-
gests either that the shot Shott
shot at Mott was not shot, or that
Mott was shot Notwithstanding.
It may appear when the trial
comes on that the shot Shott shot
shot Mott, or as accidents with fire.
arms are not uncommon, it is quite
y sible that the shot Sh0tt shot
Shatt himself, when the Whole af-

original elements, and Shott would
be shot, and Nett would be nos.
We think, however, that the
shot Shot shot shot not Shott, but
Mott though it is still hard to be
certain who was shot and who was

whether Lee could have escaped alone,
much less with the girl and the pack
TO carry. He swung the boats blunt
nose toward the nearest patch of
reeds. Twenty yards He put all his
strength into that last effort. Now the
reeds were closing about him. In
front Of him little open channel ap-
peared. Using one shortened oar as
paddle, he drove vigorously, and found
himself in temporary safety. A thick
wall of reeds extended between him
self and open water, rendering the
York boat invisible
Then the motor began to roar The
shouts Of it's occupants became audible.
The motor boat had rounded the point.
Lee had escaped discovery by the
skin Of his teeth.
And very cautiously, so as not to
betray his whereabouts by any un-
due agitation of the reeds, Lee pushed
the boat toward the island, His plan
must now be to drive ashore, trusting
to escape detection until nightfall and
to make the wooded shore Of the lake
in the darkness.
Through the reeds the marshy fore
shore began to be visible, and sandy
spit projecting to the waters edge.
Above 1t was q hummock Overgrown
with birch and red spruce, with a
tangle Of sheep laurel and birch and
poplar behind it.
Lee worked his heavy boat noise
lessly toward this spit. But suddenly
he stopped. The motor boat was com
ing up the open channel hardly a
stones throw distant. He could hear
Railway In 1t, believing commands to
his companions. He could hear the
reeds rustling against the boats side
as she forced her passage through
them.
They're not in here!" he heard
Railway say with an oath. "Get into
the channel and beat up the island p
Lee, crOuching in the stern Of the
York boat with his pistol in his hand,
breathed a sigh of relief as the motor
boat withdrew. The roar Of her en-
gine began to grow fainter. In few
minutes 1t had died away.
Lee forced the York boat ashore
upon the spit of sand, and STOPPING,
raised the girl in his arms and carried
her into the shelter of the spruce
thicket, where he laid her gently down.
For the first time since her injury,
he had the opportunity Of examining
her. Her prolonged Inconsistencies
alarmed him.
But she was beginning to revive at
last, and, after assuring himself that
the pulse beat fairly strong, he pro-
oeeded to make as thorough an exami-
nation as possible of her injuries
He turned his examination first to
the cut In her head. He tore strips
from his shirt, went down to the water
and cleansed them thoroughly; then,
returning, he proceeded to wash and
bandage 1t. 1t was bad cash from a

Trapped on the Island

And instantly he began straining at
the oars again, redOubling his efforts
to gain the shore before the motor
boat rounded the point.
And of sudden his attention was
attracted by something creeping
along the nnnosite shore. II was

1t was impossible not to admire the
courage that inspired the man after
the drubbing he had received. Rath-
way was, Of course, on his way to
warn the expected party.
Lee drove hard for the left middle
channel of the lake. The main
body Of Siston lake came into view,
vast expanse Of shining water. the
shores receding into the haZy distance,
out of which small. black object be-
gan to be visible, like bug skimming
the surface.
Now the canoe containing Railway
was almost abreast Of him.

the oars, turning the York boats head
toward the bank. Once there, they
would be safe. But his strength was
failing him. Curse the clumsy boat.
which hardly seemed to move!
The putting Of the motor engine had
grown Internally loud. 1t added a
horror Of it's own to that sense Of pur-
suit which makes the bravest man
something of coward, the added hor-
ror of the fugitive who hears the dis
tant bay of bloodhounds.
Then suddenly the motor stopped.
That meant that the canoe had come

still a hundred yards distant

which was a good thing, relieving the
concussion which had no doubt been
the cause of the prolonged insensibil-

seemed to have received no bodily In
Juries beyond contusions, Lee exam
ined her limbs. He saw that one knee
hung awry. In a moment he had the
gaiter off, and discovered that the
joint had been dislocated.
Short of the setting Of a broken
bone there are few operations more
painful than the restoration of a joint
into position, and Lee prayed fer

CcHARLESTON GETS COLD
 SHOULDER FROM ROMANS

ROME, Dec. 21 (P)-Rome has turn ed cold shoulder to the Charleston.
 Jazz dancing to the tune of wailing saxophones and crashing trapdrums of Americanized bands long has been in vogue here. Even the blues" have had their devotees. But the hip-sway- ing gyrations of the latest American dance are considered just bit too risque for the Italian dance floor.
 The Charleston, therefore, is almost unknown in Rome's three cabarets, although it is occasionally seen on the dance floors of large hotels pat ronized by Americans.
 All efforts to increase it's popularity among the Romans have met with the objection that it's popular adoption would represent too great relaxa- tion in the traditional dignity due Rome as the home of the Papacy.
