CHAPTER, IV.
THE DUEL.
In a very short spice of time the
young man came out again, dressed in
another suit of clothes. He went_ past
us rapidly, without speaking. Wesaw
him cross the bridge and go into the
town.
" Now, what is he up to ?" said My.
Humphreys, a trifle more serious.
"He is either gone to get a policeman
to .gine you in charge for assault, or to
get a pair of pistols at an ironmonger's."
" Pistols ?" said Mr. Humphreys, con-
temptuously ; "that would be like the
lunatic."
And it was; for a few moments after
Mr. Maurice returned, and coming up to
his rival, firmly and courteously informed
him that he meant to fight him ; that he
dicl not think he would have a fair chance
in a vulgttr boxing match, but that he
had bought a pair of pistols -with
which they could settle their quanel
the adjoining meadow. Mr. Humphreys
listened with a smile on his face ; then
he saw that it was no good makiug a
joke about it ; and finally, stung by a
chance remark of his opponent, he said,
" All right ; come along!"
Now, what was the third person who
was the spectator of all this folly to do?
The whole affair seemed so incredibly
ridiculous that to call any one's attention
to it might have been compromising,
and yetto all appearances, these two
were going down to the side of the river
to load. these -pistols, and fire them at
each other. • '
"1 thought," said I. " that when
gentlemen in France went out to fire half -
loaded weapons at each other, they gen-
erally took with them a doctor, to make
believe the thin g was seribus. Don't you
mean to have a'aoctor, or any seconds, or
a, reporter to send a romantic account to •
the Figaro?"
"We shall do Very well by ourselves."
sait the young man ; and. the two iin-
beciles walked off.
There remained but one thing for me
to do. Itt a certain cham er in that old. -
fashioned inn there was i lady dressing
for dinner ; and when he is putting
flowers in her hair she does not like to,
be disturbed. However, When I repres-
ented to her the deadly schemes of those
two people whom we could see walking
dowu to the meadow, she quite forgot
the last yellow rosebud, al d caught at a
light sJwl, which she threw round her
head an( shoulders.
" S a we tell them. the truthV' said
she.
t W
truth ?" said 1; "only what-
ever tr you have to tefl them you'd
better look sharp."
What a placid evening Was shining all
around when we hastened down to the
river—the sweet brier Of the gard_en
scenting the air, ancl the beautiful tints
in the sky showing on thel clear bosom of
the Thames ! We could see those two
black figures down by the tall green
rushes. They had a,pparently settled the
preliminaries, and were now some dozen
ys, when they agds apart.
."They see us now —oh, the two
gabies !" said my companion.
The notion of bringing a lady on the
scene was obviously successful; one could
see each of them smuggling something
away into his coat. pocket. When we
arrived on. the spot they were evidently
contemplating, the beauty of the scenery;
while Mr. Humphreys, with a charming
carelessness, asked us if *e had seen the
rush of young fish to surface— obvi-
ously getting out of the way of a pike.
"No, I did not," said my companion,
with a gracioub smile. "1 have been too
busy thinking how I should scold you
two gentlemen. . What dp you mean by
going away by yourselveS in this manner,
instead of waiting in the garden until
