The rlatn duel is not a new thing on the Mesicnu frontlar. Indeed, there ia hardly a Mg cnttle range anywhere that has not its Btories of hard fights with the lasso. Such duols are bound to be fierce. But bo sldllful and tiulck do these rope throwers become that such a duel not nnfrequontly lasts for hours. Probably tho best remembered fight of this sort was that between a Texan, unowu as Kid Long, and a little .Mexi can whowasnnlysiokenof as "Qabilan" hawk on tlieRveatLievrefauge. They circled aronnd oach other," dodging the rapid throws from 10 in the rtlOrninK until after sunset, when the hoTSesdlnHt almost given out the Texan threw at his adversary, wlro threw back so that his noose passed right over tho other man tf lasso and hand and caught him fair around the neck and tinder the annpit. In almost no time Kid was out of his saddle and being dragged over the ground at a rate that knocked the life out of him boforc he had gone a hundred yards, Hie west, during ltB wild and woolly days, and tho Mexican frontier have had many remarkable dnels. KING OF THIS CAMP. Uliat between "Fanner" Isl aud a soldier, near one of the forts in Utah, is among the classics of ilio field of honor or what has answered for that in the cow towns and mining camp. The weapons were rifles, revolvers and borne knives. The men principals were placed on opposite sides of a hillock, around which ran a road, and started to meet, Tho curve of tho hill prevented their see ing one another until they were Within a hundred j-ards. As soon as they sW ono another both fired. Though part of tho rim of Peel's hat was cut oil, and tho soldier's sleeve was pierced, neither was hurt. Then they pulled their pis tols and advanced, firing. ,Both dropiied badly wounded when less than twenty 3'ards separated them. They lay there squirming and shooting until both had emptied their weapons. Peel was des perately hurt and his adversary had one ball through the stomach and several others distributed all over his anatomy. "When thoy could shoot no more thoy lay for a short time swearing. Then Peel, who was so badly hurt that he could not advance even on his hands and knees, began to wriggle toward the fallen soldier. lie pulled himself along with his elbows, and with his one uninjured hand finished tho soldier with his bowie knife. ' Farmer Peel already had the biggest private graveyard of any man iri-the vicinity. This encounter spread his fame all over the coast, and when he went over to Nevada he receiveil$very whero the homage of lesser.liglits. . ' il BUaLlNQ IN COMSTOCK MINE. ' They have lots of deadly encounters up there on the Comstock. There was one a number of years ago fought over half a mile under ground. According to the evidonce given at the inquest by the survivor, tho two miners were working alone in a drift. They were rivals over the affections of a woman, and in a quar rel ono inado a drive at the other with his candlestick. A miner's candlestick consists of a metal socket attached to a sharp steel spike, so that it can be stuck in tho fuco of the drift anywhere. The second miner defended himself with his candlestick, aud there, thousands of feet under the ground, the' wrestled and stabbed until one's life was gone. As they did not come up when they should have gone oil shift others went down in search of them. They found one dead and the other unconscious through loss of blood. The jury, of course, had to take the survivor s story of tho affair, aud he was acquitted, A strange duel was fought in a sparsely settled -part of Souora, Mexico, about fifteen years ago. Capt. Villetiueva and a lieutenant of a battery of light artil lery belonging to ono of the posts had some trouble about who was the best shot with the mountain howitzers. They quarreled and ngreed to settle it with the howitzers at 500 yards. They took neither seconds nor assistant gun ners, but from the top of small hillocks they fired explosive shells at one an other. The captain was wounded by a fragment of a shell, but they fired ten shots beforo either was disabled, though each was covered with dust. Finally tho captain landed a shell fairly under his ndvei-savy'a gun and the explosion so mangled the lieutenant that he died be fore they could remove him to the post. AN APACHE SNAKE 1'iaUT. A little blind canyon in tho Sierra .Madre used to furnish the Apaches with the means ot formally settling their dis putes. This gulch is fairly alive with rattlesnakes. When two bucks had a quarrel that they did not wish to settle off hand they repaired to this gulley, and while the remainder of tlfe tribe stood around and watched from the hills on either side the combatants went together to where the serpents were thickest. There stark naked aud weap onless they would wrestle. This would wake up every rattler in the. glen. The aim of enpli was to force the other on to the angry snakes. -It was not unusual for both to be bitten wliile they strug gled and Tolled around among the rocks. Each was bound to remain aud wrestle as long as his adversary had life or strength enough to struggle with him A most reirujrkabla duel was fought at Jjfts Camitas, N. M., many years ago. An under sized stranger came to the town and picked a quarrel with "Hand some Harry," a gambler renowned as a dead shot. They got out into the road and both fell mortally wounded. It was ilUoovewd that the stranger was a worn uu, and though she never sjiake after she fell the story became known that Ue was a stater of a girl whom "Hand aoma Hurry'' had wronged years liefore, wtfui i' raiictsoa uxaruiuer.

The late Mrs. Wtey Webb Hayes was especially fond or recounting her own defeats and mis ha'ps, as this anecdote, which she told one evening at a dinner at the White House, Will show: 'It was at our home in Fremont, one evening in November, when without auy warning tho thermometer began falling and snowflukes filled the air. 1 was' alone in tho house with my young est children aud their colored nurse, Winnie. Tho mon servants had gone to their homes beforo dark. ."Suddenly I thought of poor Christo pher Columbus, our long haired, pug nciou Angora goat, out iu the pasture.

'Christopher saw the light and came toward it. Wo retreated behind the fence, and tried to coax him into tho place of shelter. Imagine our sentiments when he mounted to the top of the box, ana there took up his abode for tho night!" Youth's Companion. Xluti's Forcible Argumentative Method. At the very outsot of our adventures I dffeovered that tiio SSunis are special objects of Dan's antipathy. Our guide hafes these Indians as a white man hates a rattlesnake, and at times took measures which, to say the least, were very forci ble. While Jim was building a fire to get our morning meal Dan went to the corral to look after the horses. There ho found a big buck inside theinclosuro and without a word knocked him down. Dan's big fist raised a lump under tho Italian's eye almost as largo as tho fist Itself, and during our stay iu tho pueblo that Indian, whom wo passed perhaps fifty times, used ono oyo only. We saw no fewer than five bucks similarly marked dhring our sojourn In Zuni, and when we wont to Ojo Caliento the first Indian We met, Antoniovico by name, had a similar disfiguration upon his face, sus tained in an argument previously held with Dim about a sack of oats. I expostulated with Dan aliout this lit tle recreation. Ho looked sulky for a minute and then said: "Young man, I've lived among these redskins for thirty-nine years and I don't believe you can tell me much about them. If I get into an argument with an Injun and can't talk any senso into his head I hit him under the left eye and that set tles it. I never have any further argu ments with tho eanle Injun. Ain't that better n'r shootiu' them?" Cor. New York World. . : How Thoy Carry Money. ! ttngf the queerest sights is to see how alrfSrait Inimig'raiitiJ carry their money. Most English immigrants carry their coin in a small case, attached to a chain, which thoy keep in a pocket as thoy w'Ould a watch. Irishmen always have a little canvas bag in which notes and coin are crammed together. Irish girls, on the other hand, generally have their money sewed on the inside of their dresses. Germans carry their money in a belt round their waists, and the belt is usually an elaborate and costly affair, no matter how poor tho immigrant may lie. itie French mostly carry a small brass tube in which they can place forty or fifty twenty franc pieces and remove them very readily one at a time. There aro very few Italians who do not carry a large tin tube in which they keep their paper money or silver coins, and this tube is hung round their neck by a small chain or cord. Swedes aud Norwegians are sure to have an immense pocket book that has generally been used by their fathers and grandfathers before them, and which has in it enough leather to make a pair of boots. The Slavonians aud Hungarians carry their money in their long boots, together with a knife, fork and spoon. Chatter, Some Costly 'Wood Work. . An interesting relio is the wood work of the boudoir of Louise de la Valliere, wall panels, dado, ceiling and doors, all painted a f-oft cream white and adorned wi.tli paintings of cupids and roses and fluttering blue ribbons, relieved with light arabesques of gold. These have betjji set up and put in place, so that the effuut of tho dainty little room can be fully appreciated. The panels for the walls of another lioudolr, of the reign of Louis XV, were in palo pink satin, em broidered with the fine silk cord called cordonneret, with garlands' of flowers mingled with birds and butterflies, the work being feo beautifully executed as to resemble a water color drawing in its grace and finish.

M VENGEANCE. It came at last. Wo wore in tho libra ry. I seated beforo the grate, gazing vacantly into tho iiroj ho in an nrmchair closo by, and eho ut tho piano. Three months before I had mot Harry Vano in the Out-of-the-way country vit iligo where uhanco had thrown us both. I was no child; twenty-thrco summers and winters had passed over my head aud left 11 le a wearied, unsatisfied wom an, with numerous acquaintances but fow friouds, much wealth but no happi ness, many lovers but no ono to love. Hairy Vane was soven years my sen ior an oducatod, traveled, polished man of the world in its best sense. We wero much together. Our tastes were similar, though on many, perhaps most, points our opinions wore diametrically oppo site. I first admired, then loved him. Two inontlis of unalloyed happiness went by, I loved him with an intensity at which I myself almost shuddered, and he, perhaps bocause ho had nothing elso to do, loved me. How did I know that ho loved me? I never could explain. You might sneer at the foundation on which my belief rested, and possibly you would be right. Then Louise Damerton, having wear ied of Saratoga and Newport, and hav ing by soino chanco discovered my hid ing place, came too. Slio was very beautiful. Even I, who hud known her from childhood, and know how falsa was her heart and how utterly worthless her character, was obliged to admit that a more peerlessly beautiful woman I had never seen. Before three days had passed I felt that I was losing the only human being for whom I had ever cared, and ere a wcok was gone I knew that for the time at least I had lost him. Her beautiful face, her tasteful dress and her innocent, childish maimer had completely en thralled the man for whom Lwould have periled my soul. I said that we were stopping at an out- of-the-way village. The residents them selves said that.it thad not grown anyjn fifty years, and this statement was read ily believed by, the chance visitors, who found that in the whole place there was not a single piano. This was an unfail ing source of annoyance to Harry Vane, who was passionately fond of music, and who soon learned that Louise was pro ficient in the art. But the summer passed away, nntumn came and our party broke up. The cold winds of December were howling when we met again. Louise had come to New York to spend a fow weeks with me. Wo hated each other hotly, had always douo so, and -yet our interchange of visits was frequent. Nor was there any hypocrisy in this; each understood the feelings of the other thoroughly; there was not tho slightest deception; but each understood that for convenience sake the outward appearance of civility mue,t be maintained. I had not seen Harry since summer, but shortly after Louise's arrival he, too, camo to New York. Tho next day he came to dinner and spent the evening, Louise at his request had played and siiii?. She had dono her best, and done well. And thia brings mo to tho opening scene of this sketch. All the time I had been sitting "with crossed hands, gazing vacantly into the fire and thinking with throbbing heart and glowing cheek that the inomout of my triumph was at hand. He loved music, and what was her talent to mine? She had not heard me for yars, for In my misanthropy I had refused to play for any one, and only practiced when entirely alone. Had she known the truth sho would never have touched a piano in my pres ence. But she grew weary of playing and ho, starting from a dreamy trance, an) and set a chair for her by his own. "Would you favor us, Martha?" out asked, in a half triumphant, half inso lent tone. He gave her an impatient glance; it was provoking to havo the charm of her mn-sio broken by any ordinary perform ance. I saw at a glance and understood it perfectly; but without a word I arose and seated myself at the instrument. I saw them exchange smiles; then he throw back his head and closed his eyes, as if resigning himself to what could not be avoided. Before I struck a doen notes, how ever, hts head was raised, and in less than fivo minutes he was at my side. For an hour o.- more I played, and he, enraptured with the strains, never left me. After that he called almost daily, and with a triumphant swelling of my heart I saw how completely Louise had lost her influonee and how my own was re established. Once more I felt that he hived me and this time not because I happened to be the only woman near, but because from a'Tiost of competitors he had chosen me of nls own good will. Louise saw that her almost certain conquest had become a most humiliating defeat. It cut her to the quick that I, her avowed enemy, should deprive her of Una lion of the season. She saw her cause was ht, and to retrieve it reeolved on a desperate expedient. Site became ill. For several days she was confined to her room.

Tho flushed choek and quick glance told how grateful was tho question, aud made-mo reproach myself for not mentioning tho subject before. Ho camo of course at my request; my slightest wish had become his law, but his stay was very brief. A few days passed and then I, know ing tho pleasure his visit had afforded, desired him to see her again. Ho had scarcely entered tho room when I was summoned away and they wero left alone. Precisely what passed In that strange interview I never lmew, but euough I gleaned to assure me that Louise made him believe that her illness and approaching death sho told him sho was dying were caused by his in difference. Sucli statements could but mako a powerful impression on his hlghlyfiensi tivo nature. He was bound by no, promise to me, and possibly not knowing the madness of my love pledged himself to her. I do not think her sickness had been entirely feigned. Pride and chagrin had so preyed on her mind as to produce a slight Illness, of which she had availed herself to tho utmost. Day by day she grew stronger. In a little while she was able to leave her room, and soon, tho weather becoming milder, to take a short drive. Harry was her constant companion. I do not believe he loved her. I do not believe it now; but a feeling of chivalry prompted him to devote himself to the woman who, for his sake, had ventured on the doubtful borders of the grave. I did not learn all at once. It was some time before tho full conviction dawned on me, and then I hated her. All my fine theories were blown to tho wind. I felt and knew that the love for which sho pined with the wantonness of a spoiled child was to mo life itself. Sho left us. Spring came, and with it a letter from Louiso asking me to come to her homo and be her brides maid. Sho was to bo married early in May. I went, of course. I found Louise jnst as I had expected to find her proud of her conquest, and yet half dreading the man who, in the intercourse of married life, would soon fathom her wortldess heart. We rode out ono bright, sunny morn ing to enjoy the. pure air and visit the cataract, which the recent rains had Bwolleu to a miniature Niagara. Iy bright morning had a fearful end ing. After half an hour's rapid riding we reined our horses in on the edge of a steep bank overlooking a beautiful rivu let. The' scene below was delightful. The sparkling water, the white pebbles, the green moss anisweet violets made a picture never to bp. forgotten. ''We must have some of those flowers as souvenirs of ojar ride," Harry re marked, as he directed his horse down the declivity. - He bad reached the margin of the brook, dismounted, and was about to gather the violets, when a loud shriek from Louise caused both him and me to turn our eyes toward her. From some cause her horse had be come restive and she not being able to control him had darted off at a rapid pace along the road. The animal dashed along like the wind, and, although having a surer horse and being a better rider, I was obliged to use every exertion in order to overtake her. At first my only anxiety was lest she should fall from the saddle, but soon the appalling sound of the cataract met my ears, while at the same instant a wild cry from Louise assurred me that she, too, was aware of her danger. I urged my horse forward. I was at her side; to save her now required scarce ly au exertion, when, like a flash of lightning, the Prince of Darkness whis pered in my ear, "If she dies there is none between you and Hairy Vane's love." With a sudden jerk I reined in my horse, and Louise dashed on, A now sound greeted me. I turned and Baw Harry Vane tearing madly along the road. He passed me, and as his eye met mine I saw that he had wit nessed and understood my murderous act. Never shall I forget that scene. Louise swaying wildly in her saddle on the mad animal, dashing frantically on to destruction. Harry Vane, badly mounted, yet by nlnjost superhuman ex ertion gaining on her, and I gazed spell bonnd after both. Scarcely an instant had passed when the enormity of my crime sent a shudder through my frame. 'I am better mounted than either and ean save her yet," I muttered, as I urged my horse, forward. I passed Harry, reaohedonce more the side of Louise and hM my arm ex tended to save her, when suddenly my horse stumbled, slipped and fell head long to the earth- I started to my feet, saw Vane go by, grasp wildly at Louise already on the edge of the chasm, saw his horse stumble and all go over the brink into the fearful abyss below.
