? wild animals in the forest and birds

pare his murks to a garden fence.
George was very fond of hts rifle, and.
now a septuagenarian. be still possess
?s it. though as a curiosity, for as the
years hare dropped their snows upon
his head he has come to regret having
sent so many men to their long home.
At the close of the war George was
twenty-three years old. and the life he
had led had robbed danger of Its ter
rors. When he came home from the
| war be couldn't understand why his
father was so particular about locking
op the house before going to bed.
When troubled with wakefulness he
[ would go out into the yard and sleep
on the ground with the root of a tree '
for a pillow His parents, realizing i
that some time must elapse before he |
j would settle back to the routine of or
(Unary life, proposed that he make a |
! trip abroad. With this George coin
cided, for. having missed a college ed
i acation. tie thought travel might In a
1 measure supply the deficiency.
George was constantly breaking the
regulations of other countries and as
constantly evading the consequences.
He seemed to take a delight In bother
Ing the police, yet never giving tbero
the advantage of him.
j The crowning feature of his tour
?(broad occurred In Rerlln. One even- ,
; ing while dining In a cafe he notic
j >d a party silting at a table near by.
! ine of whom was a very pretty girl
I The group were Americans, as was In
i Heated by their using the English lan
j sruage with the dialect of the southern
j states of America. There were, besides
! 'he young lady, an old gentleman, an
! ?ld Indy and several children. Harris
noticed the young Indy change seats
with one of the children, and he soon
discovered I hat she did so to avoid the
stare of 1 young man In uniform sit
ting at another table.
After the young lady hnd turned her
back to him be arose and. though sev
eral officers with whom he was In com
pany strove to prevent him. taking a
flower from his buttonhole, staggered
to Ibe table of the Americans and drop
ped It beside the young lady Tfceti he
trent back fc> his own ttbls. TB? glrl'i
face turned scarlet. snd her eye# flash
ed Ore.
Several minutes passed when Har
ris. taking up n glass of wine that
stood before him. arose, walked to the
j table of the German officers and. hold
ing the wind over him. poured It down
on his head Then wttbont waiting to
observe the effect of his ect be re
turned to b'ls own table
There wa?i brief conversation among
the German*, and one of them went
to Harris and said something 10 Ger
man which f.eorgc did not understand,
but the purport of which be Inferred,
for. taking n card from hi* pocket, be
J wrote his artdro** on It and handed it
to tbe messenger, who took It bnek to
the man Gwrge had sprinkled Then
the Germans withdrew.
George's resenting tbe Insnlt to the
young American was plain to all her
party. Soon after the officers depart
| ed the old f*>ntleinan went to him and.
In the .voting lady's name, thanked
him and beeped that he would not per
1 mlt the mutter to go any further, to
i which George replied that anything
| further wonld depend on the man
I whose Insolence he had resented. The
; gentleman asked hla name and ad
drea*. which he gave.
| Before fjolng to bed that night
J George recrl'ed a call from the offl
cer to whom he had given bis card.
{ bearing a challenge from the man who
| bad offered the flower to the American
I girl. The messenger brought with him
an Interpreter, and through him George
said that would tight, hut only on
j his own terms? vis. that tbe two men
take position on either skle of open
I ground, surrounded by tree*, at a dis
tance of a thousand yards, the weap
| ons to he titles, and after a given slg
i nal either should b# at liberty to shoot
the other
Tbe expression on the faces of the
^Germans vrss curious to behold The
interpreter flred protests In Kngllah.
while his companion flred them In Ger*

the sides of an Ironclad man-of-war as
George Harris After swblle they
withdrew to report to their principal
Harris knew hla enemy must flgbt him
on hi* own term* or leave the army
In disgrace.
After a number of vi?|t* from the
Germans they vleldcil to the*lnevlUible
and accepted the condition* Tbe meet
ing was to take place nt a farm near
Berlin surrounded with trees, during
the afternoon of the nest day. in the
morning George wa* the rvelplrtit of a
bouquet or flower* with a card on
which wtia engraved "Mis* Lonl*e
Marston." It also bore the words: "It
is my wish that If it can tie honorably
done there be no meeting botweeo yon
and the German He waa dmjbtle**
tipsy and unaccountable for bis act."
To this O-Porge made no reply, for be
could not do so without giving away
the comirur contest.
Dciore 111c ogni ir wmnp
known in the barrack* of Swetnbeart'a
regiment? that was the name of the
officer who was to be one of the nrlnel
pals? that Harris was a soldier of
the recent American conflict and the
duel was to be fought on the usual
plan of dnels in the American army
The consilience was that when the
flgbt opened the flanks of the combat
ants were covered by a crowd of Ger
man officers assembled to see the in
teresting npectacie.
George look position behind a tow
stone wall and for awhile amused him
self raising his bat for bullets. Tbey
came quick enough, but none of them
struck the hat. Swein heart after one
of his shots, thinking be had killed his
antagonist, was incautious enough to
raise his head above a fence behind
which he had taken position. A ball
whistled within a few Inches of bis
ear, and tie ducked.
Harris mow xv Ithdrew- behind bushes,
and his next shot came from among
the limbs of a tree. His enemy, see
ing the smoke, fired at It. but Harris,
as soon na be bad pulled the trigger,
dropped to a lower branch and the ball
went several feet above his head. But
he drew unotber by putting his hat on
the muzzle of his rifle and holding it
higher still where there w? an open
ing in the branched.
Sweinhi>art was next In- evidence in a
barn wblrb he reached try moving be
hind the fence that led to It A pnff
of smoke appeared in a loft window,
and a b'allet came dance roosly near
Harris. Thus far he hrtd been merely
amusing himself and the Germans
looking on. but now he began to walch
closely for an opportunity to wing a
man he did not wish to kill.
In the tree where Harris was perch
ed was n dead branch, detached, but
hanging to another branch by a fork.
Harris succeeded In retting it into a
position where he eorid tot it fail to
the ground. Holding the branch with
one band) and extending bis rifle with
his hat on It to an opening, be drew
a shot and at the sarriie mom?' let go
the bran<A.
The German officers, thinking the
falling branch was Harris' body, set
up a shout of triumph, bearing which
Swelnheiirt thinking the affair ended,
exposed his full length at the barn
window. Harris, taking a careful aim.
dropped him. shooting Mm>in the tog.
This finished the fight The Ger
mans, seeing tbelr man fall.' rushed to
bis assistance, and Harris -descended
from the tree. .
The exhibition greatly Interested the
German officers present and Harris
was made quite a lion of by them, be
Ing Invited to their harrarfc* and enter
tained lavishly.
Of course Miss Marston iheartl all
about the affair and sent for* Harris to
come and receive her thanks dn person.
The version of the story she told in
Berlin made him a veritable ?hero. but
be said be didn't see why doing sncb
a trick In Berlin sbonM<canse?swii an
uproar any more thnn?4iolngtlt time
and again In Virginia.
