X Modern Duel]
[Original.]
Surgeon Sehuler and Lieutenant
Wright were rivals for the hand of the
colonel's daughter. Sehuler was a
close student of the germ theory and
In high favor with the colonel. As to
the daughter, she preferred the fight
lug arm of the service, though she
really liked Sehuler. This Irritated
Wright, who called Sehuler a germ
eradicating soldier. Sehuler retorted
that he could kill more men with
germs thau a whole army could kill
with ammunition. One reply led to
another till the doctor referred to offi
cers of the line as unscientific butch
ers, whereupon Wright declared that
he had Insulted the service. Wright
withdrew and sent Sehuler a chal
lenge. Since the challenger would be
on duty as officer of the guard the next
day, the meeting was to come oft the
nest day but one.
In the morulug tho colonel was sit
ting at breakfast with his family when
the officer of the day entered.
"Colonel." he said, "I deem It my
duty to report that a challenge has
passed between Lieutenant Wright
and Surgeon Sehuler."
"The dickens you say. We'll see
about that. Go report them both under
arrest," said the colonel.
The officer was about to withdraw
when the colonel, catching a glance
from his daughter Alma, added: "Nev
er mlud the arrest, captain. I'll send
you orders during the morning." *
After breakfast father and daughter
held a consultation In the library.
"Papa." said Alma, "won't you let
them fight? I know It's all about me,
and It would Be so nice to be fought
over."
"You little goose, do you suppose
I'm going to permit such a breach of
discipline simply to gratify your
whim?"
"But I'd like to sec If Dr. Sehuler
will fight. Somehow I can't think a
bug hunter can have any pluck."
"Ah" That's the rub, Is It? Well,
I'll think It over and see If I can find
a way to give him a chance without
Injury to the service. Now, run along,
little girl."
Guard mounting was barely over
when the officer of the day received a
note from the hands of the colonel's
orderly. The officer at once transmit
ted an order It contained to Surgeon
Sehuler. Sehuler read the order and
Immediately proceeded to his laboratory
to obey It. He remained there an hour.
The work assigned him could have
been done In much less time, but he
was ordered to use great care.
Retreat was sounding when the colo
nel's orderly stepped up to Lieutenant
Wright and handed him an order to re
port In person at the colonel's quarters.
The same orderly then went to Sur
geon Sehuler and handed him a simi'.ai
order, at the same time instructing him
to take with him the articles he had
been ordered to prepare. When he
reached headquarters he found Lieu
tenant Wright waiting In the colonel's
office while the colonel was pacing
back and forth with a storm cloud on
his brow. Neither of the young men
knew it, but Alma had her eye at a
peephole. As soon as Sehuler entered
the colonel sat down behind his desk.
"I understand," he said, "that you
young gentlemen, having no enemy te
shoot, are going to shoot each other.
Dueling is not permitted in our serv
ice, and I can't allow any such breach
of discipline. Nevertheless I am will
lng that you should both have an op
portunity to show your mettle, provid
ed it can l>e done without attracting
the attention of the command. I un
derstand that you, Mr. Wright, consid
er yourself aggrieved and have chal
lenged Dr. Sehuler?"
Wright bowed an assent.
"And you, doctor; have you ac
eepted?"
"I have," said the doctor.
"Very well. You, being the chal
lenged party, have a right to a choice
of weapons. I will choose for you
Have you executed the order I sent
you this morning?"
"I have, colonel," he replied wonder
ingly, and, unrolling a paper, he dis
played the sausages, laying them on the
table.
"These, gentlemen," said the colonel,
"are your weapons. One of them is
loaded with trichinae germs, the other
Is perfectly healthy meat. Mr. Wright,
you, being Ignorant of which Is the in
fected sausage, have first choice; the
other will remain for your antagonist
At a given signal from mo each will
proceed to eat his sausage. Mr. Wright,
you may draw."
Wright picked up a sausage. Schuler
turned pale.
"Dr. Schuler," said the colonel, "take
your weapon."
Schuler readied for the sausage and
took It up gingerly.
"Gentlemen, proceed."
Both raised their sausages to their
lips, but before either had bitten a
whirlwind of white muslin stormed
into the room, and Alma Kendall, rush
ing up to Dr. Schuler, seized his sau
sage and threw It out of the window.
"Gentlemen," said the colonel, "you
are both brave men, and, having
proved your courage, It is not neces
sary that you should fight. I trust X
shall hear no more of this affair. You
may withdraw."
"I have no further cause for quarrel
with Dr. Schuler," said Wright, "and
I must congratulate him upon having
received evidence of the tender solici
tude of Miss Kendall."
"It is 'Hobson's choice,' " said the
girl, pouting. "Either 'a germ eradlca
tor* or an ?unscientific butcher.' "
Both men hung their heads and with
drew without further comment. A
week later the engagement of Surgeon
Schuler and Alma Kendall was an
nounced by a general order from th?
young lady's mother.
