'Nevertheless, in spite of this free inter - tango of courtesies, honor was not satis- F e ifled.

He was still as i'ed. and ruffled as a belligerent turkey cock and nervously strode up and down 'with short, excited paoings, his well ap- Inted apartment de garcon. . "Sur really, Achilles," persuasively atggested his frienas, alive to the danger of the business and decidedly more paolf- etill=. inclined "there ought to be some way oarranging this affair"— Achilles turned upon them like a roar- tiger, oartiger, '.t' "Arrange it I" he cried. "Arrange the af- fp#I after a blow has been given! What are yo;:thinking of?" Achilles, though not convinced that a "bf the of blades" was not the best course to.pnr'sue under the circumstances, never- $lieless_'.consented to allow the guardians 411s'honor at least a loophole of pacific l.i;"o-viz, an apology formal and corn - Vitt,.::' .amplest apology, remember," he 'cried. "and down in black and white too. ROFULRI ." My little boy, aged 7 years and Y5 months, was a victim of Scrofula on the faCe, which all the doctors said was incurable. To tell the truth he was so i�p1d that 1 could not bear to look at 1t-�nn. lit last I;tried a bottle of Burdock Btbod tilttdrs," and before it was half used he wxlr,gaining, 'and by the time he had thrreo' bottles used he was completely tkketi,•'.:I cannot say too much in recom- itendation of.B.B.B. to all who suffer as Alit"' JOSEPH P.

We must see who he Is." And Achilles drew from his oardoase and passed from hand to hand a little square of brlstolboard that had never been neater or glossier, and, pulling his monocle from his eye in order to see more plainly, he read aloud in clear, resonant tones: "Dr. Fumiohon, specialist, 418 hue Haudriette. Hours only 10 to 12 a. m." "A doctor I Parblou I To make sure of finding him there wo shall have to go to hie house during his hours of consultation ofiico hours, that is—and force him to cat his words then and there or wipe out the insult with his own pen and ink bottle." "So be it. Do as you please," said Achilles resignedly, still furious at heart, but more amenable to reason since upset- ting and demolishing in ono of his turns about the apartment a 50 louis Owari jar. "So be it. I am now in your hands." And, giving each of them a warm though solemn embrace, he sent them off upon their grewsomo errand and got into bed to await the morning. Faithful to their promise to lose not a moment and exactly as the bell of St. Peter and St. Paul was on the stroke of 10 a. in. next day, the Messrs. Charmian and D'Epinay, De Loustignac's two seconds, thundered at the knocker of the dootor's door. It flow open briskly, and a negro footman, resplendent in gold and braid and buttons, stood before our two ambas- sadors, clothed themselves in tho custom- ary "black frock of ceremony," buttoned tightly from waist lino to collar. Grave and dignified, he stood like a martial Cer- berus, barring the entra.nco of the two plenipotentiaries, who held in their hands, with their hats and umbrellas, the lives of two men. "Dr. Fumichon, he is here?" they que- ried politely, at the same time stepping forward to cross the threshold. "He is," said tho black, "but the fee— five and twenty francs apiece—first, if you please, messieurs." "What, five and twenty francs apiece! But wo are not hero as patients. We have not conte to consult the doctor. We are here to"— And our two friends, losing time and temper both, essayed to push back the door and to enter without further parley, but a safety catch hold it, and the ebony Cerberus completely Riled the half open leaf of the inhospitable portal. Then they began to urge and coax, but the bedizened African, who knew only hie instructions, responded immovably: "Five and twenty francs apiece, mes- sieurs; fifty francs for both of you." It goes without saying that as Achilles' seconds could neither turn tail and aban- don their mission nor fulfill it on the door- step, they wore compelled to yield and to pay up like men, since to enter the house at all it was absolutely necessary to give up a "yellow piece" and to receive in re- turn a numbered ticket,'the open sesame of the doctor's front door and richly fur- nished talon beyond the entresol. Scattered about on sofas and chairs were seated some eight or ten gentlemen, all of them, like our two friends, clothed in the "frock of ceremony," black and correct, and all of there, like our two friends again, as solemnly frowning, the one as tho other, while more or less impatiently awaiting their turn. "Heavens l" murmured Charmian, as- tonished, in the ear of his companion. "Did you ever see the like of this or a clientele more ohic than the one before us? Posi- tively not a soul but invalids in frock coats 1 Fumichon is undoubtedly a special- ist of note." And Chermian, too, dropped into a chair and fell into an awed silence, oppressed by the gloom and magnificence of his sur- roundings, and softly swearing in his beard that never before had he witnessed a scene like it, where every one present seemed really to bo participating in tLe cereznony of his own interment. A full hour passed thus. Not a word or a sound broke the stillness. Only from time to time a tapestry at one side of thl room was drawn back noiselessly, a door leading into the doctor's office opened, a number was called oat and the two gentle- men holding the check corresponding to tl. e numb y called would softly get up and. disappear into the sanctuary. .And this, I say, had gong on for at least an hour --a new call, a new number and the dignified vaanlshme,,pt of two malades. 'Precisely! Two malades, for, a strange eoinp;4enoe, pr. Fumichog's patients went —and they Went no other way—in cou- ples, like beeves to the shambles or like— Charmian leaped in his seat as if a bee had stung him—or like the seconds in a duel. Was it possible that all these black coat- ed gentlemen were not patients at all? That Dr. Fumichon, not content with killing people in the usual way—that Dr. Fumichon— Achilles' proxies, however, had no time now to further pursue this disturbing sup- position. The tapestry was moving again, ricin tvirn lead come and they were over the doctoral threshold and expounding in cold, curt terms their mission before they fairly knew where they were: "Swords, the Bois du Boulogne at daybreak, or the fullest apology under the doctor's own hand and signature."' In two steps and three movements the thing was settled. Dr. Fumiohon, so wild and warlike the nightrbefore, was as mild and benevolent today as a summer morn- ing. "He had lost his temper; he was heart- ily ashamed of himself; M. de Loustignao would certainly believe that." And to show his deep and sincere regret for his disgraceful lapse in dignity, this excellent specialist hurried to trace with his good Toledo pen and his most beautiful hiero- glyphics all the apologies and more that the two seconds desired. Ten minutes later, the apology in their pocket and joy in their hearts at the safe deliverance of their friend from a perilous situation, Charmian and d'Epinay were on their way back to the Rue -Caumar- tin, entirely reconciled to the loss of their "five and twenty francs a head" left be- hind them in the black paws of the im- peccable footman guarding so vigorously tbo door of consultation in the Rue Hau- driette. •And the doctor? Well, the doctor, alone at last in his office, and with no more frock coated malades awaiting their turn, the doctor, as exact in keeping accounts as impetuous in temper, was balancing his cash for the day and comfortably adding up the total of his week's receipts. "Capital, capital I" he cried, rubbing his hands joyously as he glanced at the foot- ing. "Eight encounters, more or lass se- vere, hs in many different cafes and res- taurants last night between the hours of 7 and 11 o'clock—eight encounters ,all in. one evo'ning1 Results today between the hourg of 10 a. m. and 12 m., eight separate and distinct challenges to me from Dight sopat'atc and bellicose principals and eight separate and distinct apologies from me to the aforesaid principals' conveyed through tbo medlurft'of the Aforesaid principals' seconds, who have' called upon mo in the,.

Four hundred franos for eight encounters—only an aver- age night's work, too, last night's—and we have as a result 2,400 francs a week income, or 2,800 francs a week income, in- cluding Sunday.

"No jealous fury in that countenance, is there?" "Whose is it?" "It's a portrait of a girl I used to think a great deal of, and"— "Her name, sir?" "Well, you sat for it yourself, Maria, about 19 years ago; but, to tell the truth, I always did think the 'pleasing expres- sion' was a little overdone.

A Spaniard was born in Spain. His son, who was born in Cuba, is not a Span- iard, but a Cuban. If a Cuban should go to Madrid when he is 2 weeks old and spend all his life in the palace, he would still be a Cuban and not quite as good as a Spaniard. If a Spaniard should go to Havana when he is 2 weeks old and spend all his life in that city or upon a plantation, he would still be a Spaniard and enjoy a distinction and social position which a Cuban can never attain. The sons and daughters of a Spaniard are Cu- bans if they are born in Cuba, but the sons and grandsons and great-grandsons of a Cuban must always be Cubans, no matter if they were born in Madrid and spend their whole lives in that city. No Cuban can ever become a Spaniard, no matter what happens to hint, and from the Span- ish point of view he is a degenerate.— Chautauquan.

They ate ice cream that was sold from a harrow on the streets, and shortly afterward showed symp- tomsof poisoning. Their lips swelled and `they suffered acute pain in the mouth. They were moved to the hos- pital, where everything possible was done to save their lives, without avail. The physicians think they were prob- ably poisoned by salts of lead.

Better take a box or two o1 Milburn's; Heart and Nerve Pills and get cured before things become too serious. Here's what Mr. John James, of Caledonia, Ont., has to say about them: "I have had serious heart trouble for four years, caused by excessive use of tobacco. At times my heart would beat very rapidly and then seemed to stop beating only to commence again with unnatural rapidity. "This unhealthy action of my heart caused shortness of breath, weakness and debility. I tried many medicines and spent a great deal of money but could not get any help. Last November, however, I read of a man, afflicted like myself, being cured by Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. I went to Roper's drug store and bought a box. When I had finished taking it I was so muoh better I bought another box and this completed the ours. My heart has not bothered me since, and I strongly recommend all sufferers from heart and nerve trouble, paused by excessive use of tobacco, to give Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills a fair and faithful trial."

A Scotchn an who has been employed nearly all his life in the building of rail- ways in the highlands of Scotland went to the United States in his later years and settled in a new section on the plains of the far west. Soon after his arrival a proj- ect creno up in his now home for tho con- struction of a railway through the district, and the Scotchrnan teas applied to as a man of experience in such matters. "Hoot, mon," said the spokesman of the scheme, "ye canna build a railway across this country." "Why not, Mr. Ferguson?" "Why not?" he repeated, with an air of effectually settling the whole matter. "Why not? And dinna ye see the coun- try's as flat as a floor, and ye hae naw place whatever to run your tunnels through?"—Scotch Leader. Very Costly Matches. The manufacture of matches is a very strict state monopoly in France, and a fine of one franc per match is ruthlessly im- posed on all contraband imports of the kind from abroad. Forgetfulness of this lately cost an English traveler the sum of $100 at the port of Boulogne, where he had to pay a fine of 500 francs an a box of wax lights, value 9 cents, which the cus- tom house officers found among Ms lug- gage.
