AN OLD
I TIME DUELIST
By R. PEMBERTON SLADE
Copyright, Id?, by American Press
Association.
Ill the olden time, when dueling was
prevalent among the higher classes,
there lived iu a small town in Mary
land i young man named Arnold
Kemper, who kept everybody about
him In a state of terror on account of
his predilection for the code, lie knew
of every meeting between prominent
men that had occurred in the colonies
from the settlement of Virginia. He
often declared that no
should refuse to fight when challenged
and if he did so shorild be posted as a
poltroon and a coward.
Kemper hn 1 never bern out himself,
but averred that nothing had ever oc
curred to necessitate his fighting. But
if? Here he would eud his prophecy
of what he would do in case he were
insulted, but only so far as words were
concerned, for the expression ou his
face was something frightful to be
hold. Girls would clutch their lovers'
arms and tremble for them. The men
themselves looked upon the threatener
with mingled fear and admiration.
If any one happened to stumble
against the duelist's foot or spill a
drop of liquid 011 the ruffies that
adorned his shirt front, off would come
the unlucky man's luit and out would
come an obsequious "Beg your par
don." Kemper would scowl, then his
features would relax and he would
say, "Certainly; it was accidental,"
leaving those present to infer that if
it had been intended it could only be
washed out in blood.
One day there came to the town a
quiet, unobtrusive young man who,
knowing nothing of Kemper's reputa
tion for ferocity, was not so careful as
others in avoiding offending him.
Kemper was a Tory, while the stran
ger was a Whig. That was at a time
when the storm of revolution was
brewing and opinions on one side or
the other were running high. One
evening Kemper was iu a tavern tell
ing what he would do when it became
necessary to defend the king's sover
eignty. whereupon the stranger walk
ed up to him, pulled his uose and said:
"That's the wny I would treat the
king."
Every one present expected to see
the stranger annihilated. Kemper
rose from his seat, made a profound
bow to the man who had insulted bim
and retired from the tavern. Present
ly one of his friends returned bearing
a challenge to the stranger. It was
accepted, and the challenged man,
having the right to choose the weap- I
ons to be used, chose pistols and in
sisted that the principals should fight
i In a dark room.
Kemper declared such a meeting en- j
tlrely without the code. The stranger j
said that he didn't care If it was. He |
I would fight In a dark room or not at j
all. Kemper then declared the affair j
off. His friends were surprised. They
told him that either he must fight or
forever lose his reputation as a duel
ist. Kemper demurred. Several days
passed, and the stranger who had
pulled the terrible man's nose still
lived. Then Kemper, fiuding that
those who had stood in awe of him
were treating him with contempt,
yielded.
It was agreed that the meeting
should take place at the tavern in a
room on the second tloor and at 10
o'clock at night. The shutters were
closed so that not even a ray of star
light could get in, and every article of
furniture was removed from the room.
There were two doors to the chamber,
and each of the principals was let in
to it by one of these doors. Once in
they were to remain standing by thoir
respective doors till the word "Fire!"
was given by a man outside with a
stentorian voice, after which each
should be at liberty to kill the other as
soon as he pleased.
Ten minutes after the signal had
been given not a sound had been
heard. But the chamber was a large
one, and the parties might in their ma
neuvers have passed each other a num
ber of times without knowing it. Then
suddenly a shot was heard. One pis
tol had been emptied, and as each man
had been supplied with but one weap
on with a single barrel half the bat
tle had been fought. Several minutes
elapsed, and another shot was heard.
Then the doors were thrown open, and
those outside rushed in with candles.
Only one of the participants, the
stranger, was visible. He looked as
much puzzled as the rest.
"For heaven's sake!" exclaimed one
of the party. "You can't have eaten
your adversary."
"Eaten him 7 No. I explored the
room till I was tired; then I heard a
I shot. I didn't see the flash, for my
I back was turned at the time. Of
j course, after that he was at my mercy,
and since I couldn't kill an unarmed
man I concluded to discharge my pis
tol in the air. The only way to do that
safely was to fire up the chimney."
This turned the attention of the par
ty to the big fireplace common in those
times, and one of the party, holding a
candle there, exclaimed:
"There's blood on the hearth!"
At that moment down dropped Kem
per.
j Then there was an explanation.
Kemper's pistol? it had a hair trigger
?went off on account of his nervous
Bess. Then ho had crawled up the
chimney for safety. The stranger, fir
ing "in the air," gave him a flesh
wound in the leg.
JChat ended Kemper's supremacy.
Phelps Talks
On Whitehorse
The Dawson News says: Willlard
Leroy Phelps, member of the Yukon
ccunell for Whitehorse, wly> arrived
ycs-tcrday to attend the session, re
ports the Whitehorse district pros
porous and hopeful of further rich de
velopments. At the Royal Alexandra
la?*, night he said:
"The Atlas Mining company has
not started operations yet, but I un
derstand every preparation is being
made for the work to start up soon.
The people of Whitehorse and Skag
v ay are sanguine. The company al
ii-ady has spent $800,000 or more on
equipment and the like, and the
White Pass has put in a railway spur
ai d other improvements at heavy
txfense.
"The Venus is shipping a carload
o:' ore daily. It is a real mine and
making a splendid showing.
"In outlying districts quite a few
are busy. One outfit lef a few days
a ,*, for a hitherto unheard of stream,
ki'cwn as Virgin creek, taking hy
draulic equipment for installation.
"The territory's Empire drill in the
Livingstone district is understood to
be scoring a success.
"Five hundred tons or more of
freight is in sight to cross Laberge.
Robert Lowe, councillor, has heavy
contracts for freighting over the lake,
find is much needed to look after it
a' this time of the year, but I pre
sume he will have to come through
to Dawson *o attend the council.
"The White Pass caterpillar is a |
?u cess as far as Talikini, 22 miles j
' om Whitehorse. This side the road j
i= not suitable. I believe it would j
b j a great benefit to Yukon to have i
i boulevard built to the Crossing. .
1 veil if it cost $25,000 it would be j
we'l worth the while. Greatly increaa
?d early travel would be captured
for. lower river points which other
wise never would come this way."
Rest meals in Whitehorse are to
be had for 50 cents at the Royal
C afe. Mrs. Fisher, Proprietress, tf
White River
Is Developing
The copper deposits at the head
of the White river, lying partly on
th: Canadian side'of the internation
al toundary and partly on the Ameri
ca ; side, continue to attract the
earnest attention of a number of per
sev.ring prospectors. Several well
organized parties have been working
in the district for years, and will
fellow up their efforts. John R. Sin
clair and Joseph Hutchings, repre
senting Joseph Boorman and Com
pany, Dawson parties, left for the
head of White yesterday morning.
They have a long distance to travel,
f will be on the trail perhaps 3
weeks. They take double enders
wi'h single horse to each sleigh.
They have a total of 1,000 pounds of
supplies from Dawson. At the mouth
of White river they will pick up 3,
000 pounds o' hay and other material
uhich was landed there for them by
s'eamers last fall. From that point
on the double trip relay system will
be worked.
Mr. Boorman, who remains here,
sa; s that the men will do much de
?? 'epment work on the properties
this season. They already have 250
f t of tunnel work in solid rock. The
assays, he says, run $40 to $129 in
copper, and $2 to $7 in gold. Four
to five men will be employed by the
outfit in prospecting this season. ?

When your back gives out;
Becomes lame, weak or aching;
When urinary troubles set in.
Your kidneys are "In a bad way."
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.
Here Is good evidence to prove it.
Fred F. Stutts, 1209 F. St., San
Diego, Cal., says: "I can recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills highly and I al
ways do so when an opportunity oc
curs. They have done me a great
deal of good and many persons of
my acquaintance have also taken
them with benefit In April 1907, I
publicly recommended Doan's Kidney
Pills and at this time I am pleased
to speak in, their praise again. A
severe attack of kidney trouble
brought on no doubt, by a cold, caus
ed me much suffering. My back be
came so lame that I could scarcely
stoop and at times it was only through
a great effort that I was able to
arise after sitting. I had seen Doan's
Kidney Pills so highly recommended
that I finally procured a box, and to
my delight, they gave me prompt re
lief. After I had finished the con
tents my back was as strong as ever,
and all trouble from my kidneys dis
appeared. About a year ago 1 had
another attack of backache but it
was quickly removed through the use
of Doan's Kidney Pills."
