ZODOMIRSKY'S DUEL BY ALEXANDER DUMAS. Moge At the time of this story our regiment was stationed in the dirty little village of Valins, on the frontier of Austria. It was the 4th of May in the year 182 and I, with severai other officers, had been breakfasting with the aido-de-c in honor of his birthday, and di the various topies of the garrison. “Can you tell us without being indis ereet,” asked Sub 1 nt Stamm of Andrew Michacloviteh, the aide-do eamp, ‘‘what the colonel was so eager to gay to you this mn||l|n|1‘ HA new officer the vacancy of c “His name?” demunded two or ied, threo ieutenant Zodomir: trothed to the beautiful vensky.” *And when does he Major Belayef “fo hae arvived. 1 have been pre ented to ham at the colonel’s house 1o is very anxious to make youacquaint- anc tlemen, and I have therefore invited him to dine with But that reminds me, captain, you must know him,” he continucd. turning to me: *‘you were both ia the same rogunent at St Potersburg.” “Iuistrue,” Trepli “We studiod thero together.

We all parted at Ravenskys’ W oflicer shaking hands with mirsky as with an old friend. Stamm was waiting for me when T ar- rived at his house. His conditions were these—Two sabers were to be planted nt a distance of one vace apar oach opponent to extend his arm at fall length and fire at the word “‘three.” Ono pistol alone was to be londed.

She threw back the hood and we recognized Mariana Ravensky! Pravdine and 1 stood motionless with astonishment.

While Belayef made these preparations Stamm unbuckled his saber and divested him- soll of his coat. His seconds opened his box of pistols, and Zodomirsky approach- ing, took without hesitation the nearest to him. Them-he placed himself be- hind one of the sabers. Stamm regarded him closely; not a muscle of Zodomirsky’s face moved, and there was not about him the least ap- pearance of bravado, but of the calmness of courage. “He is brave,” murmered Stamm, And taking the pistol left by Zodo- mirsiy, ho took up his position behind theother saber, in front of his adver- sary, They were both pale, eyes of Zodomirsky placable resolution, wera uneasy and heart beat loudly.

Then he leaped upon his horse, and galloped off toward the village, casting a last malediction to us all, Wo all pressed ’round Zodomirsky.
