The Accepted Challenge.
Shortly after the close of tho lato
war two young men sat in tho bar
room of one of our noted hotels ou
Broadway.
One of tbo men was urossod in tho
half military stylo so much alToeled
by those stay-at-homo heroos who
had fought, blod, and tlied for their
country.
loo subject tbat oocnpiod thoir
attentiou aeemod to bo an exciting
one, at least to him of tho military
dress, for ha emphasized his word,
knit his brows fiercely und at lust
went so far as to swear a terrible
military oath.
"Don t get excitod, Joo, inter
rnptod his companion "it woi't
uuip you iu iuo least. '
'(Jon found it, man, I havo got no
patience.'
'I lien it s timo yon had, coolly
returned his frioud i "if you intend
to push your way into tlio good grit
cos of Koho tiintou you must do
something more than fttmo aud swear
about the rivulry that has sprnng up
between you and (Juariey t'rawford.'
" 1 hat s all very fine, No 1, but to
thiuk of a poor devil of an author
bah ! a penny scribblorliko Charley
Crawford, bo thrusting Inm.-iuir le

Koho Linton I I vu heard that ho hus
written vorseu nbout her, aud flutter
ed hor until she does not know her
self. I'll put u stop to him, I'll
I'll do something desperate he Hli'ill
never win tho hand of Rose Lm
ton."
"And prny, Joo, what is that des
perate ttued you aro going to do V
askod tho other calmly.
"What am I going to do," reiter
ated hid companion, with a savage
frowu. "I'll tell you, Ned I'll call
him out and shoot him liko a dog,
that's what I'll do."
Tho ex-lieutenant, for that was tho
rank he onco held for throo mouths,
durishod his light arm and looked
pistols and death to all rivals who
might havo tho audacity to cross his
path.
"Hut suppose ho dont fight, what
thon!"
"If ho don't, I'll post him as a
coward ; that will put an end to all
bis hopes witu regard to Jtoso tiin
ton, for you know all womon hate
oo wards."
"Posting will do," ropliod Nod
Everts, half sarcastically i "but ou
what protonso will you challenge
himt"
"Xover fear t it won't be long be
fore I find one. . I'll insult him tho
first timo I meet him, and if ho re
sents it, I'll challongo him on tho
spot
"Tbat would be quite gontlomouly
aud auoording to tho code of honor,"
roplied . his friend, with a laugh.
I ho young ex-military gentleman
was Joo Millor, who had joined a
regimont that saw throe mouths ser
vice in tho hold. Jlonoeiortu be
considered himself an oraclo on all
military affairs, aud a vory Mars in
action. Iu porson ho was rather
good looking, but not tho Adonis ho
seemod himself. Ho had fallen doop-
ly in lova with tho large bank ao
oount possessed by a oortain young
lady, named Rose Linton, and was
tuakiug rapid inroads upon hor heart
at least so ho thought himself
when Charly Crawford, a young au
thor, and well known in literary oir
cloa, made his appearance upon the
soene, and was received by Rose
Linton with ft dogroo of favor that
aroused the ire of Joo Miller, who
had already began to think himself
sure ol tue prize.
What waa to be donet A mili
tary mod of proceeding was tbe only
thing that presented itself to a man
of Joe Miller's heroio temperament
Crawford must be challenged, and
killed, of course i then be . would
have the field to himself.
A few days after the ex lieutenant
bio determination ho mot tho young
author iu ono of our most noted
streets and purposely jostled agaiust
him rudely
Crawford said nothing, thinking
it might only havo boon an accidout
Hut he remained near tho ex-lieutun-nut
to give him a clntuco to rrpoat
tho insult, if such had boon his in
tention. Ho had not long to wait, whon
Miller jostlod against him in a more
rudo maunor and tnuttorod an offen
sive opithot about upstart scribblera
This took placo iu the presence of
aoveral persons known to both.
Sntiutlud that an insult was intond
od Charley Crawford looked his in
suitor in tho face for a momout and
then demanded in a loud touo, bj as
to bo heard all around :
"Did you iostlo against mo in ton
tioiiiilly, sir !"
"I did, and will do it again," was
the angry reply.
"(Jentlvtnen novor do BiK'h things "
Chnrloy Crawford sai 1 this with
marked emphasis and accompanied
with a look uot to lo mistakon.
"You shall hoar from me, sir, bo
fore long.''
Tho ox-lioutonant at onco turnod
on his hool and walked away with a
military stmt.
"Thoro's troublo ahoad for you
now, Charley. Millor will challenge
you,' said two or throo frionds who
had gathered about him.
"Do you think aoT" answorod tho
young author with tho utmost calm
ness.
"Most oortainly, for fighting hus
boon bis trad a"
"Well, let him."
"What will you do?" askod his
friends.
"Accopt his challongo, of Oourso."
"And fight himt'
"Most assuredly,"
"He'll shoot you thoy say ho's a
dead shot.''
"I'm not afraid "
Charloy Crawford returnod with a
friend to his lodgings, wharo ho
found a challongo awaiting him from
Miller, who was nil oagernoss to let
daylight through his rival.
Iho next morning tho two frionds
of tho belligerent met for tho pur
poso of arranging ivil tho necessary
preliminaries.
"Tho weapons T" asked tho friend
of tho ox- lieutenant. Your principal
by tho laws of honor, has tho choice
of weapons, also tho right to namo
tho timo and place.'
"Yos, I understand," ropliod tho
othor. "All that has been settled."
"So Mr. Crawford will fight 7"
"Fight'' returnod tho other, drily.
"Charley Crawford is no ooward, I
assuro you."
"Well, uamo your weapons."
"A bracoof good goose quills,'1 ro
pliod Crawford's socond, with tho
utinoHt compoHiiro.
"Sir 7" said tho othor, in blank
amiuemcnt.
"Tho weapons aro to bo a pair of i
goose quills, manufactured int .) puns.
Tlio place of mooting, tbe columns of;
mo .uorniiii (rt'ij.i'or mo tune,
to morrow morning, bright and early.
"Do you mean to insult mo, sir 7"
Thin was Baid iu a fierce tone of
voice.
"Very far from it," ropliod tho
other with tho utmost composure
"Then you cannot bo serious."
"Never more so in all my life, l'y
tho code of honor tho challenged
party has tho right to uamo tho weap
ons, place of mooting aud timo. Is
that uot so 7"
"Most cortainly."
"Vory well. Your principal has
challenged inino. All the rights aro
his, aud ho is porfoctly right iuohoos
ing tho weapons with which ho is
most familiar. Tho woapon ho can
uho best is tho eu, and ho ohooHcs
that If Lieutonuut Millor had boon
challenged, ho would of course have
choson either swords or pistols, and
mv friend, Mr Crawford, would bo
called a ooward, a poltroon, or somo
thing clso as bad, if aftor Bonding tho
challongo ho objoctod to tho weap

Pous aro as good a pistols at auy
time, and do a far bettor elocution.
"Fighting with pous, the vory idea
is preposterous.'
"Not quite as preposterous as you
think. Mr. Craw ford has more than
intimatod that Lieutenant Millor is
no gontlotnau. For this ho is chal
lenged to single combat, that is to
prove him to be oithor a gentleman
or not- Surely tho most sensible
weapon with which to do this is the
pen. Pistols will never prove eithor,
but pens will. In the oolumus of tbo
Homing Ventilator, my friend
Charloa Crawford stands ready to
prove your friend, Lioutonant Millor,
no gentleman. Lot him stand on
the dofousive and prove that he is a
gentloman, and that any gentleman
has porfoct right to publicly insult
any porson he ohooaee, without the
slightest cause of provocation.''
"Let me toll you, my dear sir.your
friend, Lieutenant Miller, will find
this aa aerious an affair as if pistol
were used,''
"Allow me to say, my dear air, I
did not come bore to be trifled with."
"Thore is not a particle of trifling
in the matter, X aasure you. I am
in sober earnest Pene are the weap

"That your principal will bo post

"Aro you mail f ''
"No, sir t wo are in sober oamost,
and fully know what wo aro about in
tho 0080."
Tho ox-Lieutenant's second was
completoly nouplussed. He did not
know what to say or do. Ho was
not prepared for such a sttto of af
fairs.
"I'll ace you in tho course of an
hour,' ho said, rising to toko his da
part are.
"Very well, my doar sir, you will
find mo here awaiting you."
"Is it all Hottlod?"nakod tho valiant
Lieutenant of his second as ho enter
cd his room.
"Settled 7 No I nor likely to bo. I
objected to tho weapons, aud iu fact
to tlio wh do proposed arrangements.'
"Objected to tho weapons f And
pray, what weapons did ho propose
perhaps blimdorhllKHOS ?"
"No; nor 1 1 lotto tuns with trumpet

"A what f asked tho ox lieuten

times and places to insult whomso
ever ho pleases without cause of

"He's a moan, cowardly fool, that'
all I've to say," roplied tho ox lieu
tenant fiercely.
"If his terms nro not aocoptod, he
threatens to post you for a coward
to-night."
"What '

lie was called back to his housos
by his companion nuking :
"Well, Joo, do you accopt thoir

"No; of COUMonot; if I did I would
bo a greator fool th.tn themselves."
"1 hun you consent to bo posted.
How will it sound in tho oars of your

"I'll cut olT tho nrseal's oars if he
dares to do such a thing, d u iuo if
I don't."
"That won't win you tho hand of
Hose Linton, tho chief cause of all
this trouble.'
"Curso it no. You nro right thoro,
Nod,' replied Miller thoughtfully.
"Hut what's to bo dono 7" ho asked.
"You must eithor ti'lit him with
his own weapons, apologize, or bo
posted as a coward. To be pnst-'d

"Hut it is tlio safest conivo for

The apology was written uad ac
cepted by Charloy Crawford.
Tlio valiant ox lieutenant fomid it
convenient to leave tho city for some
time ; when he enmo back Uouo Liu
tun wad Mrs. Charles Crawford.
When tho affair had blowu over,
the warliko Joe Millor.Ex Lieutenant
of tho Yuluiituor, wan often heard to
swear that ho would rather oomo in
contact with a bombshell than an in
fernal author with his peu.
Ho understood pistols, swords,
ritloH, and even cannons, but whon
tho battle hold was tho columns of a
uewspupor, ho acknowledged tho
"Pou Mightier than tho Sword."
