"One thousand poonde, Mr. Moore? What jest is this, sair?" "Is it, not worth it?" stammered' Moore, the blood rushing t. his !ace. "Worth it? Worth it? Yon must be mad, sair. No publisher half sane would dream o' paying ye half that in advance" "011, come now," said Moore, try- 1 ing to speak unconcernedly, and scor- ing a wretched failure as a result. "I too ha' been considering the matter o' which ye speak, Mr. Moore." "You mean you wish to withdraw your offer, sir?" cried Moore, in great •alarm. "That, Mr. Moore, is precisely what 1 'mean," declared McDerneot, regard- ing the poet from beneath his bristl- ing brows. "I ha' decided, sair, that I much exaggerated ye popularity as well as ye cbalents. This determina- tion, taken togither with the tenni, ye ha' just euggested, leads ole to wash ' my hands o' the whole matter. Find some ither pooblisher, Mr. Moore. Try Longmans or MOOTaY." "Mr. McDermot," said Moore, fenc- ing himself to speak calmly, thankful that the publisher and he had the smdking-rooni to themselves, "if the proposition I have made is unsatis- factory, pray suggest one in your , turn. I will consider any you may see fit to offer." McDermot coughed a little and d shook his shining old head. That k Moore was in desperate need of money t was quite evident. The wily old a publisher had no intention of allow. ng t most premising young poet f the day to slip through his fingers, et he was quite resolved to as des- erate a bargain as could be obtained the craft which forty years of bus. asslife had endowed him with in dition to his natural astuteness. "No," said he, "I'll not haggle v. i' No doubt there are ithers who il gi' ye what ye ask." This last was said in a way that, ainly statod his sincere conviction at no one &se would even consider e nuitter. 'Oh, sir!" cried Moore, despairing- ly, "I have relied upon this bargain." 'No fault o' mine, 'Mr. Moore, no fault n' mine, sair." "Do you think I would ask you to reconsider your words if I had any hope of obtaining the money in any Jother qc atter?" "Wbgre is Lord Brooking? He 1 should help ye if ye ask him." nen"Lord Brooking is on the Conti - t." "Really, Mr, Moore, ye accomplish nothing by this perseestance." "Have you no heart, Mr. MeDer- 1. rn6t 0" "Weel, It has no voice in my busi- ness affairs, sair.". "If you will give me one thousand pounds to -night and three hundred more during the year you shall own and publish all that I write these two 1 years." 1' "No, no, Mr. Moore." 1 "Let us end this useless discus- , sion," snarled MeDermot, rising from , the easy chair he had occupied until now. c) "No," cried Moore, "you hal/ not 1 deny me. I'll give you a bargain you cannot refuse, sir. Give me one thous- and pounds which shall be payment in full for the long poem, and I will write when and how you will for the next year at your own price. Yes, I will do this and bless you for it, Oh, sir, it means more than life to me. It is my whole future. It's love, it's honor. I beg that you will not use my extremity to drive the to des- pair. Surely my work is worth as much as it was a week ago when you would have gladly accepted such terms as r offer you now?" "That is not the question," replied McDermot, coldly. "Ha' the good- ness to get out o' my way, Mr. Moore." Moore seized the publisher by the arm.

The young Irishman was naturally convinced that at this par- ticular game he was no match for his sneering enemy, and considered him- self. lucky to 'have escaped with his life, an opinion that was shared by both Sir Percival and Terence Far- rell, for the baronet was an expert marksman, and had never doubted that he would end all rivalry between himself and Moore with the bullet he aimed at his opponent that morning. However, this opportunity to so rid himself of his rival had come and gone, for he was far ton wise to endeavor to force another quarrel upon Moore, even though the latter had fallen from favor, for more than one harsh criticism was 'made on the unequal nature of their encoun- ter. Sir Percival's skill was widely' known, and a no less deservedly pop- ular individual than Mr. Sheridan took pains to circulate the truth con- cerning Moore's shortcomings as a pistol shot. Even Ms Highness saw fit to remark to the baronet that it e as "a dernned one-sided affair" anti that Sir Percival's reputation, had he killed Moore, might have become s if possible prevent the aeration of "even a little more unsavory," com- Dyke, which he felt sure about ment' which led the latter to doubt to fohow, stepped hurriedforeard. the permanency of the poet's dis- "One moment, your ghness," grace and exile, but, as he kept these said he.

Sir Percival stepped out of the throng surrounding the ono, Prince, sinning and deibonair as ustl. "I will answer for the Um) of any statement Mr. Farrell ma make, Sire," said he, "Continue," growled the Prince, waving Moore back with an apatient gesture.
