Through His
Nerves
A Duelist Is Conquered by an £
Unskilled Antagonist
By WILLARD MALTBIE
The old story of cue girl and two
lovers-there are infinite varieties of
It. Usually one of the lovers Is the
villain of the plot, the other the hero.
At first the villain has the advantage,
but in the end virtue triumphs over
vice. This Is a tale of one girl with
two lovers, both of wh'dm are noble
young men. one of them possessing an
extraordinary nerve.
It Is now more thuu half a century
since a family of Americans named
Wentworth made a tour abroad. Viv
ien Wentwortb was then a girl of'
nineteen and considered by all who
knew her a lovely girl. She had been
brought up in seclusion and had there
fore not received much attention from
young men. The visiting of new and
to her strange countries at a time when
few Americans went to Europe natu- ■
rally produced upon her a marked lui
pression. Relng of an artistic tem
perament. she enjoyed especially the
works of art to be found in Europe
and while in Rome bad a special ad
vantage In being showD through the
marvelous collection of art treasures

ist uamcd Artnand Trudeau.
This young man was especially fitted
by nature to captivate a young girl of
au Ideal makeup He was very band
some, with large, dreamy eyes, a high
forehead and an olive complexion. He
gave great promise as an artist and
wrote very clever verses He soon
won bis way iuto Vivien's affections,
though lie was opposed by her parents,
who did not wish her to marry a for

Kenworthy. though he had uiet the
disappointment of his life, declined to
ask her father for her, contrary to her
wishes. He at once withdrew his at
tentionsand left Home. Then Vivien's
parents, being convinced that her heart
was tixed upon the artist, consented to

Hut the marriage was destined not to
take place.
At tbnt time there was In Paris Jules
Chartier. one of those duelists of tfae
earlier part uf tbe nineteenth century
each nf wfimn tried to make a longer
list uf victims Recording to tbe code
duello than nny of bis predecessors.
These iiersons have disappeared, and
dueling ts now only practiced in
France hv those wko consider that
they have a caose, and even these ex
pect only a little bloodletting.
A palming of Trudeaa's irarbung in
the salon Una day wben tfae crttot
.was prvaeut chatting with frteods who
were admiring his work Cbartler atop
ped before It and began to ridicule
It. Trudeau flushed and made-a re
mark Ironical to tbe critic's -knowledge
of art. Chartier tlgbtJy slapped the
artist ou tbe cheek.
It seems strange that a system
which Jubtided murder should aver
have prevailed. The Insult, which waa
given publicly, forced Trndeto to chal
lenge tire man wbo bad slapped him
or be forever tabooed by bis associates.
He hud no skill whatever with any
weapon, and tbe alTalr most result Id
his being vanquished and probably kill
ed Be knew that be most suffer
death and wished to bid a last fare
well to his fiancee. Bat this was not
permitted She might take measures
to prevent his lighting and thus dis
grace him.
The morning after the insnlt Tru
deau and Chartier met In tbe Bola de
Boulogne, and the latter added one
more name to the list of men he hsd
killed Triwlean's death wsa a great
shock to Virion ft'entwortfa. Her par
ents took her away from Paris at
once to Switzerland, for tbe hot sea
son was oa. and the mountain all- was
considered best for tbe strlckeD girt
In September Ken wort by reached
Paris oo his way to America. Thar#
be happened to hear tbat a young
artist named Tradesu had been killed
in a due! end, on inqoiry, that Bertha
Townsend bad lost bar betrothed. He
gathered sll the Information possible
concerning the affair, and tt was plain
to dim that hli rival, or, rather, the
man whe bud preveuted him from
winning Vivien Wentwarth's love, had
been murdered Furthermore, he was
told that Chnrtier w«a Invulnerable
Be waa an expert with every weapon,
from the dirk t* the claymore, from
the derrtn^er tn tbe rifle.
"No one," aak) E.«ti worthy's inform
ant, "ean hope to conquer Chartier ex
cept through tils nerve. Naturally he
is a coward, rt la the certainty toat
his skill will protect Mm iflA enable
him to kill bis eppoMflt that keeps
him cutting Botches od Out cane which
iu>ar« th® mirnher «t bie victims. Nev
ertheless tie has eptepdUl nerve, and.
| this being the only 'possible avenue
| through which to attack him, he Is lla
j ble to die a natural death in his bed."
I Kenwortby dwelt on this statement
! a long while—a tnaa with splendid
: nerve, whom an eoosny could hope
I to at tuck only tbrdogh that nerve
| How might the nerve be attacked?
He learned that Chartier, like most
Frenchmen, had been born a Roman
Catholic, though he had sever been to
mass or confession elaee bis boyhood
Kenwortby went to.-a priest and sub
mitted a plan for fringing Chartier
back into tbe fold, "but, if this were
uot practicable, to -prevent bis com
mitting any mane murders. ^

The priest sought the dueltot and
I tried to convince biro of thebeinotianess
of his crimes. Cbartier was unmoved.
After expending upon him all the per
suasive eloquence he possessed with
out avail the priest said to him:
"Be It so. I leave you to your fate,
for no man who practices deliberate
murder as you do can come to any
good end. Beware and repent before
It Is too late. If you do not, God's
wrntb will surely smite you."
For the first time during the inter
: view Cbartier winced. The father left
him without another word, and the
duelist sat for some time lost In
thought Then he took up the cane
on whlcb ho kept the record of his
victims. There were twenty notches.
He cnt one more, saying to himself:
"I will make good this "last notch;
then I will retire on my laurels."
That evening Cbartier dined at a
cafe where be was used to taking his
meals. He bad few friends and dined
alone. A young man entered the cafe
and took a seat at a table where be
faced tbe duelist, fixing a calm, res
olute look upon him. Cbartier endured
tt for a time, then said In the usual
Icy tone he used In beginning an af
fair:
"Monsieur, I appear to Interest you."
"You certainly do, since I represent
your victims," said tbe man In broken
French.
Cbartier started.
"I am commissioned by your last vic
tim, Armand Trudeau, to avenge him,"
continued the stranger.
Recovering himself sufficiently to re
tain his outward coolness, Cbartier
said: "I do not wish to be disturbed at
my dinner. Please let me have your
card and a friend of mine will call on
you."
"What for, monsieur?"
"To arrange n meeting between us."
"There Is no necessity to nrrange a
meeting. I will meet you on the ground
wbero you killed Armand Trudeau at
6 tomorrow morning. You shall have
your friends with you and choose the
weapons you prefer. As for me, I
need no human assistance."
Chartier looked at the man in won
der. He would have no seconds, would
leave the choice of weapons to his ene- I
my. What did it mean? He nodded
an assent and went on with his dinner.
The stranger continued to stare at him.
Finally when Chattier raised a glass
of wine to bis lips bis hand trembled.
As soon as be had finished his dinner,
making an effort to appear unconcern
ed, he arose from the table.
"Adieu till tomorrow, monsieur."
In the morning Chartier arrived with
his seconds bearing rapiers. While he
was waiting for his antagonist a car
riage drove up, and his enemy alight
ed. There was on bis face a look of
cool resolution, indicating that he had
no fear whatever for the result Being
given a rapier and his enemy another,
the two faced each other, and the en
counter began.
The stranger showed himself only a
fair fencer. He kept his eye on that
[ of his antagonist, as Is customary with
fencers, and Jt produced an effect
Chartier astonished his seconds by his
weak thrusts, his almost unsuccessful
I defense. Dnder the Influence of bis
antagonist's eye he grew weaker, more
defenseless, till at last the stranger,
I taking advantage of his mental condi
tion, ran him through the heart
"Gentlemen," said the man who had
killed him. "It no longer serves my
purpose to remain Incognito, nere Is
my card."
The name on it was Egbert Ken
worthy.
A year passed before Vivien Went
worth met the man who had avenged
her. Shortly before tbelr meeting she
heard who killed Chartier and sent for
him.
ft was a singular meeting between
the bereaved girl and the man who
avenged her Kenworthy stood wait
ing for her to speak. Several times she
essayed to do so. bnt either she could
not frame In words what she felt In
her heart or her tongue refused to ut
ter them. At last she held out her
hand to bim, and at the same time all
she felt was expressed In her features
with far more intensity than words
could have given it. Kenworthy sprang
forward, seized it and covered It with
kisses.
Ready, as a Rule.

ic boarder, "is a puzzle without an an

"Huh!" snorted old Orumpley. "I
