fh_ laws should have done for me—nerved i.„ wi.u the conviction that I was also, wit" ■ --Hi humanity, my making common caiiso wi.- <^n v repugnance to shed blood rose power..-- 1,; ff it}iia me ; but I summoned all my firm- D.SO to go through with the part I had assigned myself. As the shoulder would be flpmewhat covered with the stock of the p'# my aim must be to the greatest i(... yfcy. I examined his piece ;it was ill chosen for his, and well for my purpose, being very, thin at the stock and badly balanced. His only chance was in a near approach before he fired. We were placed. I boked upon Madame : she was pale, hut motionless as a statue. I nodded cheerfully to her. The signal was given at that instant, and we advanced towards each other at a funeral pace, our rifles poised, and fingers on the trigger watchful as lynxes at every motion. Inis slow process—while death hangs m the air over one's head—is apt to try tne nerves. Mine were as cool as it 1 Had been waiting for a hart in the thicket. I have said the secret of my success de pended on the quickness of my aim, tor I have got an instantaneous sight. If he approached within sixty yards I could ex ecute any manoeuvre I pleased. He came within thirty yards—a murderous dis tance ; he then stopped rather suddenly, and brought his rifle to his shoulder ; it was somewhat covered, but I fired, and the ball went straight as an ace-to its aim; yet keeping as close as possible to the wood of his stock, which was carved.it glanced against an angle and shot upwards. De Roseville whirled round two or three times, and fell on his face, his piece going offintheair. - • , When turned over he presented a spectacle too dreadful to describe. His law was shattered and his right eye forced from its socket—a fitting spectacle for a duellist! I felt sick at heart, and Madame was horror-struck. We drove rapidly home, without giving vent to our feelings in words. . Sobs, however, broke from her; and. the movement of the cloak with which she-. remained enveloped showed how powerful was her emotion. When we-enfered our room she rushed into my arms,,and :threw herself upon my l'O.soni, imploring forgiveness for the past! I felt her heart throb upon my own—her tears wet my cheeks—she m mis.. Here then, was at last an end to aarmyU r my suffering! To describe my feeling would •be impossible—rapture top great for Tftture te support! ■ From that hour to the present no cloud has passed over our unvarying sympathies, Siot a cold word has broken the harmony of our communion.
