Moore, the blood rushing t. his !ace.

"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."

This last was said in a way that,

'No fault o' mine, 'Mr. Moore, no

which was not without significance
ss an indication of Sir Percival's good
intentions. 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

killed Moore, might have become

"He will lie to you as , ha,' to

"That remains to be seer:ski-oh."
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.
"Your Highness," said Farrell,
quick to take advantage ofhis op-
portunity, "the author of ais vile
attack upon you is one t your
friends, a favorite protege, -ho, ow-
ing all to your favor,thusrewards

"His name?" demanded Yak's.
There was a moment's pep, dur-

artfully heilitated in his rmly that,
