In this way the captain fits! got a glimpse of Lady Emily; and shortly after, at hla request. an Introduction to her by the careless brother. Who, be ing somewhat in liquor at the time, thought little of the danger to which be exposed her. and spoke of the villain as his very dear friend. This was exactly what the gamester wanted; and he at once set ail hla wits to Work to win the unoccupied heart of the lady, and, H posf.iblo, make his fortune out of the affair. The captain was in reality a married man; but this fact, of course, he cobccaled; and taking ad vantage of such opportunities as he could find, when the brother was away, he assumed a melancholy and romantic ■lr ffilh the stater, and spoke of him •elf as a man of great wealth and high connections, hut unhappy, because he had never yet found that congenial, sympathetic soul, which, by a perfect and 'divine unity with his, oould so poetically and literally make the two natures and hying* us one; and here the wily scoundrel looked down sadly and sighed deeply.

At"this moment the door of the apart ment wae dashed open and, white with rsgo, I/ordJlnrdinge was seen advanc ing with long and rapid strides. The ijlstrtnt ho reached the astonished gamester he seized Idm by the throat, hurled him back and struck him to the ‘ground, ’‘Begone, you base-born villain!" ho uried, stamping his foot in rage. He heard u low, smothered cry and looked around just in time to catch his sister, who, overcome hy the excite ment and the shook, was sinking down in a swoon. Vauledemar slowly rose to his feet, his now blanched features expressing tiie most malignant hate; and for a few moments,-us he gazed upon the young nobleman, who was now giving his whole attention to his unconscious sis ter, ho appeared to be debating with himself whether ho should kill him on the spot or not. “No," ho muttered at length. “Why make a felon of myself for a revenge that will be equally sure a few hours later, and leave me untainted with crime?" And with this he quitted the apnrttneiit, without, a word to Lord Hardinge. 11 was at least half an hour before Lady Emily was so far restored as to re member w hat had taken place; and then, in groat trepidation, she demanded the meaning of the fearful scene. "It means, Emily, that you were In the hands of a designing villain, who was only seeking your money.” “A villain, tieorge! And you yourself presented him to mo as your very dear friend!” "I know, ray dear sister, I am very much to iilame for presenting such a scoundrel at all; but I did not know Him then, except as a gentleman,‘who hud proved himself a pleasant boon companion, and in a thoughtless mo ment, excited by wine, I called him itty friend, never I dres ming the term Would have any morg weight with you than as a mere passing compli- Ment" "And why do you call him a scoun drel now, George? What has he done?” Lord Kardluge at once thrust a crum pled note into the hand of Lady Emily, which read as follows: ’‘N'oDlc lohl, beware: Oo leas lo the gaming tapis ami look mon> at horns' A designing vfl lain know|i as monsieur \he captidy.

"Have 1 been disgraced by the special attentions of a married man?" "Wo must leave Parts at oncer said her proud, but not humiliated brother. • Acs, at once!” cried Lady Emily, in great excitement. "Hefore this villain, as I bow believe him to be, can do you personal harm." . At Ibis moment the valet of the nobleman appeared tml whispered something in his ear, "I will be down directly"’ was the answer of the master, turning a shade paler. "What is it, George?” eagerly do- I rnnnded the sister. j "Only a gentleman to see me on | some private business." j "Oh, you must not fight with that base man!” cried Lady Emily, at once ; divining the fearful secret. "For you will be killed, and ! shall bo left with out a protector!" Have no fear!" was the evasive an swer of Lord Hardinge, as he hurriedly quitted the apartment As he expected, he received a formal challenge from M. Vauledemar. de manding satisfaction for the inul‘ of a blow, the note explicitly stating that no apology would be received?

" “We shall see,*' said Maj. basset, with a grim smile, "If this redoubtable hero will have the courage to tight with an equal chance against him!” Somewhat contrary to his expecta tions, however, monsieur the captain consented to the arrangement; and Lord Hardlnge spent most of the night In making his will end giving his friend Instructions to bo carried ont In case of his fall. At the appointed lime, all the differ ent parties appeared upon the ground, tho nobleman with the solemnity duo to an occasion involving life and death, but Vauledcmar with tho non chalance, either real or assumed, of one who believed himself the favored son of fate. The lot fell to monsieur the captain to draw the first pistol; and us ho weighed them both with hts hand be fore determining his choloe, ho re marked with a sardonic smile: "If I Can't tell by tho weight which has the ball for the heort of this ac cursed Englishman, I deserve to diol” Immediately after he drew Ids pistol, and added: “I have It now—all right!" “God shall Judge between us!" Said Lord Hardlnge, solemnly, as he lifted the remain Ing weapon. He was deadly pale, but his look was firm. Tho principals were now placed face to face only tlyeo feet apart end live seconds took leave of them with trem ulous agitation. II was u terribly exciting moment one or tho other was about to bo hur ried into eternity—no one could say which. "Farewell, my dear friend, and re member my instructions!’' said Lord Hardlnge to Maj. basset, as lie sol emnly shook Ids hand. Immediately after came tho dreadful words: “Are you ready, gentlemen? Flrel" both triggers wore pulled together, there was only one explosion, and monsieur tho captain fell dead, with out a word, shot through the heart. Lord Hardlnge was hurried from the awful scene. He rclurnod to England with his sister, an entirely altered man. This singular duel Is no flbjon. It was an actual occurrence. Only tbd names of the parties have been changed. —N. Y. Ledger.
