There was nothing for it but to pocket the
olive, and do as the lieutenant wished. Time
and place we1e agreed upon, and Doolau
rose to take his leave. As we were shaking
hands in the most friendly manner, I said,
‘By the way, Mr. Doolau, I must not forget
to tell you that I have nothing at all in the
shape of a dueling pistol; perhaps you are
better provided.’
“Make yourself perfectly easy about that;
Mr. Morley,’ said Doolau, who would no
more have been without hair triggers than
hair brushes, I never travel without the
pacemakers. .411 main ’ And Mr. Doolan
took his departure, after receiving my assur-
ance that I would call upon the surgeon, and
make sure of his attendance upon the ground.
I cheerfully undertook to do this, as I was
determined that at any rate, the surgeon
should not be an I: 1shman, and I had some
hopes that he might be able to suggest some
way out of the difliculty. Accordingly, after
writing acouplo of lines to O‘Dowd to s_ay
that I had arranged everything, and to in-
form him of the lime and place, I set off at
once to look up a surgeon. His name was
Hale, : thoroughly scientific man, devoted
to his profession, and as little likely asnny-
body to have any sympathy with the roman-
tic tolly of the duel. I found him at home,
in remarkably good spirits, as doctors gen.
erally are, and engaged upon a paper for the
"La:.cet,, upon the subject of gunshot
wounds. -
' “How are you, Halo. ‘9’ said I.
“ ‘How do Morley?’ said he. 'Whut’s the
matter ? Anything wrong with you ? You
look rather out of e um. Digestion mong,
or what' 19 it?’
“ “Oh. ' there' s nothing the matter with me,’

" ‘No, n0,’ said I, nothin of the kind—
quite the reverse, indeed o, the state of
the case is this, 0’ Dowd has taken umbrage
at something O’Flaherty has said, and has in-
sisted upon calling him out. ’
“Ah, that’ s it, is it, ” said Hale, his eyes
brightening; “and you’ll want me upon the
ground' in case of accident. Certainly, with
all my heart. Pistols, of course ”—wiih a
glance at his manuscript—“nothing like pis-
tols. You may depend upon me, Morley.
You may be quite certain that I shall be
there. ”
“The villian was evidently lll want of an
illustration to prove some confounded theory
of his own with regard to bullet wounds. His
glance at the manuscript betra ed him.
‘ No, but look here, Hale,” said, “the al-
fair ought not to he allowed to 'go on.‘
“You think not, "said he, as it entertaining
the very gravest doubts as to lhe wisdom of
my opimon.
“Certainly Ithink 1101;11nd y 111 ‘ll think
so. too, when you hear the case. Lastnight,
O’Flaherty, when slightly screwed, charged
O’Dowd with having tubercle oi the lung."
“ And a most insolent thing to say, too,
though it’s a positive fact all the samc.1n
vino cerilas, and no mistake. Butstill a man
with any 1espect for himscll, can’ t allow his
lungs to be thrown in his face in that way
without taking notice of it. And so O’Dowd
demands an apology or a meeting, eh 9”
“J as: so. He insists upon an apology,
and—it’ s leally to absurd—a declaration from
O’Fiaherty that the charge brought against
his lungs was unionnded.’
“Quuc correct, said Hale, ‘and this declar-
ation O’Fiaherty' is, of course, unable to make.
His statement was a perfectly true one, and
he can "tunmake 1t without telling a faschood.
Upon my word ,ifyou can see any way but one

“I believe you are all gone mad,’ I said vex-

man a valuable life may be lost 9’

the doctor, coolly: ‘but it can ’t be helped

you please, Mr. Hale,’ said I, coldly, and walk-

cheerlullest and friendliest manner, that I
might depend upon him absolutely; that he
would sacrifice any number of patients sooner
than not be present; and that he would be

1 had done my best. I had called upon
Common Sense to help me, but Common
Sense was nowhere to be found. I had up-
pealed to the Dread of Ridicule, but it' slept,
and could not be awakened. I had asked
Science to lend a hand, but Science wanted
both of hers to seize her own opportunities.
There was no resource now but to let the
matter go on to its bitter end.
In affairs of this kind, you know, it is not.
etiquette for the parties to go in company to
the battle ground, as pugilists do to a prize
flg ht. We must go separately to what"Bell’s
Lil‘e" would call a likely spot, and meet there
with distant politeness. As we had to drive a
good way to the place pitched upon by Doo-
lan and myself—an open space. Well known
to us all a little way into the jungle—it was
agreed that O'Flaherty and his second should
go on an hour _or two in advance. taking
their rifles with them, in order to pass the
time with any sport that might fall in their
way, and that I, with my principal and the
surgeon, should follow at the stated time.
All of which happened as arranged The re-
spondent and Doolan departed early in the
afternoon, designing to lunch at the rendez-
vous; and shortly before six the appellant,
Hale, and I followed, drove to the Outskirts
of tho 'ungle. there ,left our carriage, land
strolled through the trees to the phce.
“Here we are," said Hale- , “true 10' our

“They 've been here very lately,’ said
O‘Dowd, pointing to the relics of a luncheon

Hale; so we are quite ready for Ithe begin.

The crack of arifle, a short distance ofl‘,
seemed to confirm my words.
. “They might have taken both rifles with
them, then, 1’ n. thinkin ,” exclaimed O’Dowd
picking up O’Flaherty s, which lay on 'the
rats.
g We were standing about, O'Dowd examin-
ing the rifle, which was loaded, and Halo the
pale ale bottles, which were all discharged,
when we were surprised by seeing Doolau
running toward us with every appearance of
extreme terror. “What’s the matter- ‘9" we
all shouted.
“Here. i" he cried. “Come here. Bring

He had not eloped. with Tim. He was-
still lying, where Dool'an had left him, with
his mouth so close to poor O’Flahorty’ 5 eat,
that he looked as it he were whispering into
it. What was to be done? The very thought
of firing into him across O’Flaherty made my
hand shake. We all :1th still for a mo-
ment or two, staring at the tiger and his vic-
tim.
“Now then. who’s going to shoot i” said
Doolan. “somebody must, or faith poor

“Shoot, O’Dowd, ” said I, “I darea’t, for
the life of me."
"Faith, it’s a risky shot, for certain,” said
O’Dowd. l "but if we stand here and do noth-
ing, tliere’ ll be no chance for him at all. Now,
hark ye, gentilemen," he said, throwing up
his head and lookin , tubercle or not, a thor-

O’Flnherty standing opposite me at twelve
paces, I’d be the last man in the world to

I’d time to mark him properly, rolled over on

“Twelve feet from the nose to the tip of

quietly.
“I handed him the loaded mile, and we all,
