The small but enterprising city ol Newcastle could boast- of many pivlty gills, bnt none of them could com- pare with the ackuowleg.nl belle, Miggie Barr.' Iior Christian n o. was Maggie, but her father always called her Miggie, so gradually’ the people of our town fell into tho same habit. I could not do justice to this young lady’s to many charms and points of beauty, I will let yon, dear rea¬ der, imagine a woman ten times pret¬ tier than any you ever m t ns a true portrait of my heroine. Of course, Miggie, b ing pretty and the acknowledged belle, had many beaus; in fact, all the eligible young men in town bowed down and ivo.- shipped at her shi ine. Probably if it had not been foi the romantic notion • which had been inculcated in Miggic’s mind during her three yeayj’ sojourn at boarding school in Philadelphia sin would have accepted oue of these ma¬ ny admirers who were dead in love with her, and would have fettled down into the dreary laim-drnm existence J’ married life, as the romancHs choose to call it, but she could nevei think of such a thing. No, haled; en¬ sile died she would ‘have to be the principal in some romance, or else her dreams would always remain fancies and not delicious realities. At tile time I write about there were two young men paying attention to .\liggie, both of whom were sanguine of ultimate victory. She treated llmm both alike, and, though they tri d to ■nt.ival each other by the paying ol attention ncitlnr of them Could boast of any advantage over (heother. The first young man whom I writs about bore the name of Sam Wart, and the other tlie title of Tom Brady. Vfiggio did not like either of llnse mim-fi, as they werfe unlike the titles f the heroes in the books she h .1 c ' ft>tt<xi, besieJAi ■lic-iT^ndiviil'iial’y ing;ai% n some romfintie,action that would fit hem fur a upitrimoual alii it^e with In-r. Not that she wanf -d Uiem bo’H» or 1 or hnsbai:ds;%!it she wafted them until to.perfJBn rbmaniic dee’s and tiro one’thaf came n-an st her ideal she wo did accept as her husband. bam Wnrk was a big, broadshnul- dcr.-d Jt-llo , with a large share of ■omu.on sense/and very little romance pervading h s disposition. The fa t A the mntt-r was Sam. had been used to hard work since childhood rod consequenily, hr d uo time to think >f ro man op. Tom Brady vas an exquisite in re¬ gard to dress, always wearing the finest clothes, but he was no more io mantic than fLm. The one thing that Tom Brady prid¬ ed himself on was his shape. Ho had i wai st like a woman. The two young men, before their contest for the hand of ffiggie, ha- bet n warm friends, bat since they ha entered on this race tin y had not been such ardent admirers of each other, but had centered all their* admiration on one divinity, Miggie. As tlr-ii. affairs waxed hotter they beennn dead enemies, and passed each other on tlie slreet without speaking. .Miggie, sl.v little puss that she was, helped on this coolness, in order, if possible to liav- 1 a romance woven for her life. At this time Miggie was receiving attent' n from both of the gentlemen. S-n would go to a picnic one day v.i.h Ham a id the next day wouJ£ go off on an excursion with Tom. The tmm-r would e-aort her homo from church one Sunday evening, and the in xf week :li- latter would exercise the j same piivilcce. People were pi zzlcd to till which , . , WOS tile , favored S'AtO.'. and '\ I doubt if either of , theme . , -e'tie , t mt vexed , question. All ... tins ... 1 time ... Miggie . ting . roman-' was awa some tie action on the part,of cither of the Uo sailors that would help he r to de- cide which s ib would declare as her accepted 1 ver. Time rolled o*a until one- evening Miggie determined to force matters to a head, so she got Tom Brady, who Was pouring honeyed love phrases in- to her ear, talking about his rival, Sam Wark. Of course Sam was not such a l»d fellow in Tom’s estimation, but ARLINGTON, GA„ FRIDAY, JUNE io, us ‘‘all is fail in leva nr.d v . v.” tl.o latter spoke rather rmighly about him thinking thus to cut him out. Miggie listened and said nothing, .and Tom thought that I;is woids had carried I ho ontp.v t" of In r heart, and so he went away confident of ultimate suc- cess. The next evening Sam .,’ark ca l -.1 to see Miggie, and that wvrthy at once repeated the storms which bis ri'ah T< in Brady, had been circula¬ ting about him. Jdain v-as made very angry by this, aial when Miggie asked him what he was g-aing to do about it, r- plied that he was going to punch his head. It this M regie got indignant, and asked him what kind of a way was that io ref on t an injury. Sam said that was tho best way be knew of, but if she couid suggest any way out of the • difficulty ho would only be too glad Io follow her advice. Then in a tragic tone-, Miggie said: “Yon must fight a due!; it-is the only way to settle it, and at the same time she question about my hand. To the victors belong the spoil-:, and to the victorious due At I will award my hand.” Sam lookul al Imr for ;i few mo merits, and then blurtul out. “Sup pose one of us grts killed ?’ (i What’s (lie difference?.’usbe<l M : g- gie; ‘‘this in a question of nerve and only death can wipe out the injury. Yon have been traduced by Tom Brady, and yon must challenge him, and at once, ton.’ “All right,’’ sail Sam, fully con¬ vinced that Miggie would at once marry Tom Brady should he refuse to engage in this duel; “give me a few points as to (he best way-to write out a challenge 1 .” Tin n Miggie gave him an idea ns to the proper way to indite a challege, and Sam left her house, filled with blood-thirsty intentions and craving gore. Ha chose for. a second Tom Wilkins, and that ^worthy bore a challege to Tom Brady the .same even tag, ; .'•.dip :>t-y yf. n, . ,,. n ed __ Miggie and spoke about the on challege, .and how Jm iu|i3 returned wo'rd to barn Work, stating that he had no inteiiiion of fightgig. When Miggie heard this she was furious, and upbraided him for liis cowardice Tom f* It cheap, and, seeing that hi ■a fo al to fight had pub Mi.ggio iu a )l’t d humor, concluded that he had l etter retract his ikcirion. As soon a-: he had told her this her face Was illumined with smiles, an she tcld him how she inle-mkd bestowing her hand on the victor. The next day Tom sent hia second, iu the person of, Joe Farrell, to tel Sam Wark that fe would fight, and that the weapons should be pistols at twenty paces. The following morn ing at daybreak was eln sen as the time for the meeting, and at the hour designated the parties 3 u t. Sam Waik was attir'd in Working clothes, bill T-mi Brady was lifessed in l!,o h iglit of fashion. Both wt re pale, and re mid l-.th to engage in the combat. The seconds thinking that no harm would lesnlt from Hie duel, m. asm* d vff th- distance in a business-like man¬ ner, while the surgeon handled his instruments ns if lie Were noxious for to use them. The signal was given, and both rang out on tho morning, air simul tam.-on y. When the smoke cleared away Sam Wark was s en standing erect, while Tom Brady Ly prostrati¬ on the round. “Iv’e killed my friend!’ ejaculate . Sam, as he.threw his pi.-.tol away, and k ioii b- sidutheprOAraU: f- r i of Tom. * Cuises be on tlie woman that tempted me lo dt 's a deed. I am a rriur- derct* for tr+ rake of Miggie Bail*.

At last tl.o doctor said: ‘Gentlemen Mr. Brady’s life has been span d by n singnlareircumstanoe, The ballet, which was aimed directly at his heart struck oue of tho steel Stays in a pair of corselsjthat ho wears and in.-1 -ad of penetrating the skin, it meroly Si tinned him.

I am disgusted with Miggie Barr for suggesting such an affair as this and I hereby resign all claim to her hand.” “So-dti I,” said Tom; “she has too many romantic notions for me.” Then liie contestants shook hands, and lhe 'j|u-ty started for home. Of cdimo the ncwspapcis got hold of the siory, raid made a good bit of fan about. Tom wincing corsets,but, ho did not rare, as he knew tl oy had a red h;s ii e.

They are now the warmest friends and upon their visits to each other speak of “that duel.” Miggie is married,-too, hut not to a man of a , omantic turn of mind. It is to none.other than Julies Jenkins, a farmer, who has amused his millions by tho sweat of his lnow and who knows about as much romance as he does about! running a steam engine; and yet M»i.i , with these school girl ideas elfaiijL'-d from her brain i? a- ■yfUi. ■y cm A ivJf is h o* r. / * -.«. - We All Have Faults. flfe "'hot/> in™ asts of being perfect is perfect s folly.
