Throe French gentlemen were ?It

"I say, Du Bola," said one, "1 wish
yon would desist from courting la
belle Amerlcalne. I have Intentions
there myself."
"And you, Chanveteau," said another
to the speaker, "I would be obliged If
yon would alao desist from your atten
tlona In that quarter. La belle
Amerlcalne belongs to me."
"I like the assurance of you gentle
men," said M. du Bola. "I see no rea
son why I should give np a conquest
already made by myself to either of
you. Chauveteau. you have no chance
whatever, and you, Farrlere. I am sure
can never win,"
"And 1 like yonr conceit. Du Bola,"
said Farrlere. "It Is yon who am
aspiring far above you."
"Come fellows," said Chauvetean;
"we are all excellent friends, and there
la no need for ua to quarrel over tha
lady, for the simple reason that none
of ua can win her. To do the court
ing of an heiress would require at
least 30,000 franca. There are opera
and theater tlcketa to buy. carrlagea.
flowera, presents? Indeed, a hundred
ways of spending money? and I doubt
If all of us combined could raise half
the amount"
"My faith!" exclaimed Pn Bola
"There's an Idea for you. Suppose we
all chip In and set up one of ns to do
the Job. who shall be liberal with the
other two after securing la belle
Amerlcnlne's fortune."
"Good."' cried Chauvetean. "The
very thing! You two men let me have
10,000 franca each, and I will not only |
reimburse you, bnt give each of yon
my note for 100.000 franca, payable |
within sixty days after my wedding
with la belle Amerlcalne."
The two men thns addressed langhed
outright. Then Karri ere. emptying hla
glass and calling for another, said: |
"To propose a practical plan, I sug
gest that we each chip In a third of j
the necessary funds and decide by lot
who shall make the attempt."
"I offer an amendment to that" said
Chauvetean. "that Instead of deciding
by lot who ahall do the wooing we de- J
clde It by a game of cards."
"What game?" asked Du Bola.
"Well, since the lady la American. I
suppose we make It the American game 1
of 'freeie-out' poker. We will each
take 10,000 francs and play till one of
ns has won the shares of the other two,
the winner to use the fund to do the |
wooing, giving his obligation to the
other two."
"That's definite and practical," said
Du Bola. "Let us begin We need not
pat up the cash: we can each take
10,000 franca In chips, the losers to re
deem them later."
"Agreed!" wild the other two.
Cards aDd chips were called for. and
the game began. It was a long one. for
e?ch player, being desirous to act the
lover, bet cautiously While the game
was In progress they chaffed one an
other, occasionally giving away to any
one who might be listening the object
of the game. A gentleman took a seat
at a table at the other end of the room,
and the three players looked at one an
other as much aa to aay. "Re careful."
but when the gentleman gave an order
In English tbey assumed that he did
not speak French, and before long
something of tbelr caution disappeared.
Chauvete?u was the first to be froten
out, and Farriere was relieved of all
hla chlpa by Du Bola. The man who
spoke KngUsh sat rending a newspaper
till the game waa ended, when, calling
a waiter, he sent hla card to the win
ner. Du Bola read the name on It and
looked at his friends appalled. The two
looked much concerned. They sup
posed the sending of the card to be 4
challenge, but were not certain. It
was agreed that Chanveteau shonld In
tervlew the ?ender and learn what It
meant Approaching the person in
qnestlon. he bowed low and asked In
what way his friend M du Bols could
be of service to him.
"As the gentleman who Is to win the
hand of la belle Amerlcalne," was the
reply In tolerable French, "he can be of
service to roe either with the foil or
the pistol, whichever he prefers."
"Monsieur has overheard?"
"I have."
"May I ask monsieur's relationship
to the lady?"
"A suitor for her hand. The matter
seems now to be between me and your
friend the winner. I prefer to flght for
a lady rather than to gamble for her."
"I see. I will bear your message to
M. du Bols."
After a consultation between the
three Frenchmen, who knew well that
a duel under the circumstances would
be the social ruin of every one of them.
Chauvetenu was sent back to Inquire
whether If they would all Join In an
apology the matter would be kept se
cret The reply was favorable. The
stranger dictated an apology, which was
duly signed, and the matter was ended.
La belle Amerlcalne married a fellow
countryman soon after this Incident
but did not know till the day after
her marriage that her husband had
proposed to flght one who had won at
cards the wherewithal to win her, or,
rather, her fortune.
As for the three Frenchmen, from
all of whom she had received some
attention, she cut them all as she hap
pened to meet them. Had tbey been
mere adventurers this would not hare
distressed them. Since they were well
known In society it troubled them very
much.

Trade At Home
1 r is a hard thing to convince some people, who hare acquired the
* mail order habit, that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can do nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue again*?mail order business
