PREPARING FOR TIIE DUEL.
TJIUt PENDLETON shoved his
anus through the slefeve holes
of his fur coat,
lighted wax match Ids valet
offered him, applied it to the end of his
cigar, looked again into the mirror that
extended from floor to ceiling ami be
gan leisurely to draw on his gloves.
Beneath the coat he had so carefully
buttoned across his-ample chest he was
faultlessly attired. Faultlessness in all
things was Burr Pendleton's chiefcst
hobby among many, and on this par
ticular occasion he had been more 1m
nopfiimite than usual. The reason was
obvious to the man w
him and whose attentions, always
strictly correct, were on this occasion
Imbued with u touch of iudescribable
tenderness.
"Is there anything more, sir?'* he in
quired, stepping backward two or
three paces and regarding his employ
er—master would be a more appropri
ate term in this cose—with a glance
that was almost reverential.
"Nothing, James—ah, yes, the case of
pistols," was the indifferent reply.
"Will you not permit me to take
them to you, sir?" asked the valet
gerly.
"No. I will take the case with me.
You are to remain hero, James, and on
no account leave these rooms until I

"Yes, sir."
"Among the letters you will find one
