Then hastily seated himself at _ his writing desk he seized a pen, dashâ€" »ed off a few lines and folded, sealed sand superscribed the note. & "«There, Fred, you have your wishâ€" _granted to you only of all men on vearth. I shall not be disgraced by a f duelâ€"there will be no hostile meeting _ mbetween Bergner and myself. When _ his friend calls, give him that note as k _your answer, and with that your part j win the affair will cease." 1 He turned away, and at the same _ moment there came a tap at the door. rg( o Jt is Sweitzen, Bergner‘s friend," ‘he said. "I will go out." â€" With Sweitzen my business soon vsended. I handed him the note for & Bergner, and told him the decision of _ Eangheim would be found in that. He ereplied that such a proceeding was irâ€" regular. T rejoined that I believe I { . had nothing further to say or do in the matter, and the interview abruptly $ â€"closed. «Perhaps you might tell me, then, wshow quickest L can find a gentleman named Frederick Delorme ?" "It is my name," I exclained. "It‘s curious," returned the countryâ€" :man, beginning to unbutton his coat, ‘ "that I should have run upon the very sw _gentleman 3 wa:nted..

"Eiâ€" ther horn of the dilemma, is bad senough, heaven knows, but still, let â€"the result be what it will, I must inâ€" =sist that you do not give. adversary a «meetine. You must summon up all _your moral courage and refuse to go »out !" "I fear I have some unpleasant news for you," he said, throwing himself into a large armchair. “SYJeak, Jules," I cried. "What is rig e "I fear not. He accused me of cheatâ€" ing, and I called him a liar. Until his «charge is withdrawn, mine must hold ;,‘.,700(1.” 1 While a student in the city of Berlin, whither I had gone to finish my educaâ€" tion, I became acquainted with a fellow student of the name of Jules Langheim. From the very first we were fast friends. . "His friend has called upon me since, and I have referred him to you. I did mot know what hour you would return, ut requested him to drop in at 11:30." _ ‘"But, my dear friend, you must not fight !‘ I persisted. "Think how much more you stake than he. He is a mere adventurer, while you have character ‘and high hopes, which will be blasted by this one act, even should you escape with life. You know our college reguâ€" Jations will expel you, and the criminal law will have you at its mercy !‘ Langheim was worthy of the friendâ€" ship I gave himâ€"noble, open, candid, high spirited and generous to a fault. As a natural consequence, our intimaâ€" ey soon became such that each made a confidant of the other. One evening, on returning from the opera, whither I had gone alone, I found him walking s‘owly up and down the room, looking very pale and eviâ€" dently more disturbed in mind than he wished to have appear. â€" "Can the matter not be sectled by nutual friends ?" I asked. e "My friend, what is the matter 2 was my first eager question. After Sweitzen had gone I anxiousâ€" ly looked for the return of my friend. One, two, three hours passed, and still he did not come. I remained up all night, but he did not return. . I took a long walk through the city to. cool my fevered brain and was reâ€" turning to my room an hour or so latâ€" â€"er when some one hurried up behind and tapped me on the shoulder. I turned and confronted a stranger in ‘the plain garb of a peasant. an altercation with Adolph _ Well?? c€ igBteg your b en w pardon," m _’4_ u be a st uce 1e udent in tsl?id, i $ ‘but h colleg b ge Oct. 11, 4 o‘clock a.m. _ Mx_Drar Ertenpâ€"Forgive me for painâ€" ‘ing your noble heart, for, having once conâ€" ‘cealed from you my real design in declining to fight my adversary, I felt that honor deâ€" ma.n%ed from me & proposition requiring at Teast as great arisk of life, if not of reputaâ€" ‘tion. Ygou remember you said you would permit the risk . of life, providing character were not involved. I acted on this and wrote ‘Bergner I would not fight him, but would :decide by lot which of the two should put an end to his own existence.â€" I followed his friendto his lodgings, and we speedily agreed to the terms. We drew lots, and it was my misfortune to be doomed. . Accord ing to the compact, I am to . die toâ€"day beâ€" fore sunset in the little village of Neut, 30 miles from the capital. You will probably find my body at the only. tun the place conâ€" itains. . Your dying friend, T seized the letter, tore it open and read the following with feelings better imagined than described : "Over the card table toâ€"night I had : CYÂ¥ es." UNDER THE CODE. Jupes LaxerEnt Beraner." On reading this I was so shocked that for so.ae minutes I could not act My brain swam, and the letters before me seemed to take the color of blood. I roused myself at length with the hope of being yet in time to save my friend and darted off like a madman, leaving the countryman staring after me. I hurried to the proper authoriâ€" ties and got permission to use the govâ€" ernment post horses. In a few minutes more I was on the road to Neuf, the postilion urging the beasts forward at the extreme speed allowed by law. Fatal miscalculation ! In my terâ€" rible anxiety to reach Neuf before my friend should put an end to himself, I overlooked the fact that, if living, my avrival in such a public manner would attract his attention and hasten him to the commission of the deed, since it was not his design or desire to have it prevented. _ On reaching the inn, with a thunderâ€" iag clatter that drew the whole village out to look at us, I leaped to the ground, seized the actonished landlord and deâ€" manded to know if there was a strangâ€" er from Berlin under his roof. «¥es !" he answered quickly, catchâ€" ing some of my excitement, " a handâ€" some young manâ€"a thief or robber, maybeâ€"or ‘â€" ¢ We rushed away together. I espied an ax and seized it as I passed. On atriving at the room. door and finding it fast, I shouted : "Jules, for the love of God d» nothâ€" ing rash! Tt is Iâ€"your friend, Deâ€" lorme! Come to my arms and be saved !" “Quigk, quick !" I interrupted, "show me to his room !" With one blow of the ax I split down the door and rushed in. There lay my friend in the last quiver of life =â€"shot through the temple.â€"Cincinâ€" nati Post. Cood . Manners. Sidney Smith said that the manners are the shadow of virtue." Certainly a man‘s behaviour is, in a large measâ€" ure, the outward expression of what he really is. Coarse speech and unâ€" couth dress tell of the coarse character. The Tattler said that ‘"the appelation of the gentleman is never to be affixed to a man‘s circumstances, but to his belhaviour in them." That is true, and therefore, whatever a man‘s cireum: stance, he can be a gentleman and the fact that he is a gentleman will maniâ€" fest itself in good manners. There are persons who seem to think it impossiâ€" ble to be cerdial and hearty in manner without being boisterous and rude. Delicacy of behaviour and gentleness in speech are not impossible to thorough cordiality. As a good heart expresses itself in\ good manners so good manners react to increase goodness of heart. Good manners are possible to everyone whoiskindand considerate. Thesein ward qualities need to be nurtured and their outward forms of expression cultivated. Study of the characters of good people and observatior of their manners will do much to ard in acquiring a knowâ€" ledge of the ways of really good society. Let the heart be right first and the rest is easily learned.. Good manners, in a high sense of the word, helps a man far along in life. "If you meet a king he will recognize you as a brothâ€" "Frederick, farewell !" cried a tremâ€" ulous voice in reply, and at the same moment I heard the report of a pistol. er," was said concerning a ‘man who would possess himself of the manners of a true gentleman. Almost every one has a favorite posâ€" ition during sleep, and no end of theorâ€" ies and beliefs is indulged in on the subject of the proper position, location and igeneral conditions for that sleep "that knits up the ravell‘d sleave of care." . Many physicians argue that one shou,d cultivate the habit of sleepâ€" ing on the right side, especially if one has indulged in a full meal late in the evening. . The food makes its exit from the stomach on the right side, and it is for this reason claimed that the posiâ€" tion is more favorable to digestion with out effort. This is important. as all of the faculties and functions should have a certain amount of rest, and in no way is this as easily attainable as during the hours of sleep. (Other authorites say that one should always lie on the back; but there are excellent reasons why: this is not wise. . The weight of the stomach and its contents rests upon the spine}which often affects the nerves. Some severe cases of insomnia have cured by the habit of sleeping on the face. This is easy to do, and is the most comfortable position if one disâ€" penses with the pillow,. One young man, who had exhausted all the skill of the doctors, fell into the habit of lying on his face, with his right arm under his head, which was turned slightly to one side, _ By this change natural rest soon came to him, and he entirely reâ€" covered. Whatever position one may choose to take, a little practice will make it comfortable, and the experiâ€" ment is well worth trying. They watched with a good deal of interest the efforts of two stout men as, with strong ropes, they ~strove . to pull the crooked tree this way and that. But it was of no use. "Molly ! Molly !

You are just 20 years too late, Mr. Daws," said Joe as he dropped the rope and wiped the sweat from his face. "Are you sure you have not begun 20 years too late on tobbacco and rum, Joe ?" asked Mr. Daws. "That is a true word, master, and it is as hard to break off with them as to make this old tree straight. But I signed the pledge. last night, and with God‘s help I mean to keep it." "With God‘s help you may hope to keep it, Joe," responded his master. "Our religion gives everyman a chance to reform. No one need despair so long as we have such promises of grace to help. & 3 "That is my comfort, sir," said the man humbly, "but I shall teil the boy to try and not get cacoked at. the beâ€" ginning." Hard Luck, A couple of dark faced foreigners were passing up Hastings street with a dancing bear when an old colored man came out of an alley driving a limpy old horse before a load of ashes. The horse no sooner saw the bear than he made a shy and a jump, turned the wagon over into the mud, and after a few kicks broke loose and ran off, The driver was hurled into the mud and buried under the ashes, but he soon dug himself out and reached the sideâ€" walk to demand of a pedestrian: .

Sarnia, Sept. 13.â€"(Special.)â€"The trial of Albert Edward Wilson for murâ€" der was resumed again hbere this mornâ€" ing before Mr. Justice Falconbridge. Mr. Osler, Q. C., on behailf of the prisâ€" oner, addressed the jury for nearly an hour, paying special stress upon the fact that Dr. Clark, the only medical expert called, was of opinion that the map was insane. He then pointed out with telling effect to the family history of the : Wilsons, which showed. that many of bis relatives were of unsound mind and weak iatellectually, a sister being at present an inmate of the asyâ€" lum. His plea for merey on this acâ€" count was listened to attentively by the jury. Mr, Lount, Q. C., followed on bebalf of the crown. He narrated the prisoner‘s conduct and urged the facts in such a light that the prisoner‘s chance of escape seemed akout gone. His Lordship charged the jury at. conâ€" siderable length and laid special stress upon the family history and Dr. Clark‘s evidence, but when he came to deal with the prisoner‘s conduct his remarks told strongly against the accused. The jury retired at noon and at 6 p. m. reâ€" turned with a verdict of not guilty on the ground of insanity. The prisoner‘s countenance brightened up as he heard the verdict announced.. His Lordship then directed that Wilson should be kept in close custody during the pleasâ€" ure of Lieutenant Governor. The Jury Found That Wilson Was Insane.
