That Is, some of his as sociates. Most of them liked him It ^as only tke-4ougfi-hewn men who f "eh, ndel!fate enough to twit him ? v acy- There was no oc casion for taunting him, for he did his ?

He hated refinement, and edu cation was detestful to him. The lit tle doctor was to him like a red rag to a mad bull. The two men were of the same corps, nnd were consequent ly thrown together. Bombarler never lost an opportunity to cast a slur on the doctor's small hand or foot, or his ?soft voice, which latter was as unlike the captain's as the coo of a dove to ?a lion's roar.'"" Bombarler's taunts finally reached Insults. Gaston's friends suggested to Him to ask for a transfer to a corps where he would not be subject to the ?captain's remarks, but the doctor said that would not avail. The reputation v ">r having failed to resent an Insult would follow him. Besides, he would find others disposed to pounce upon him. No, he preferred death rather than live an object of contempt. He ?would challenge Captain Bombarler jlf he were killed his sufferings would ibe ended. However, the matter might end. It might in future render him Jess liable to Insult. The next time Bombarler cast a slur |0O the doctor, Gaston challenged Mm 'to fight. The captain laughed at the Idea of fighting such a delicate little l/ellow, and Ignored the challenge. Thin (would have been well enough had he ccased his slurs. For a time he was not quite so contemptuous, but soon ?wis as Irritating as ever. Then the 'other officers took the matter up and 'Insisted that he fight the doctor. Bombarler reluctantly consented, [stating that he was placed In a false (position as the opponent of such a (stripling, and a meeting was ar i ranged. The seconds, in order that nothing serious might come of It, or to ! save the little doctor's life, separating the combatants 500 yards, naming 'rifles for weapons. The duelists were [placed as far from the trenches as the 'circumstances would admit, but the distance was not great When all was ready, the word "Aim" was given, and each raised his rifle to his shoul der. Gaston aimed at nothing, shut ting his eyes. At the word "Fire" two shots rang out simultaneously. The doctor was nnhartned, but the captain fell dead. Doctor Larrabee was sure that he had not killed his enemy, unless It was by accident, for he had not wished to have the blood of anyone upon his con science. Be he could not convince the seconds that he ha(l not done so. They burled the captain and proclaimed the doctor a man who Was not to be trifled with. One of the men who burled the body of Captain Bombarler noted that he had been shot In the back. He ln . ferred that he had been killed by a stray bullet that had come from the enemy's trenches. But being a friend of the doctor's he made no mention of the discovery, not wishing to mar the effect of his achievement., / From that time forward Surgeon Larrabee suffered nothing from his delicate make-up. Indeed, being a contrast to. his supposed courage, it .rendered hfm an object of Interest He was pointed out as the man who had killed the overbearing Boinbarler. News of his feat reached his friends at home, and when he was wounded during service on the battlefield, and went home on leave, he found him self a double hero. Louise Bappeller relented and accepted him, not be caues he was hit doing his duty, but because he had killed a man who had taunted him. Doctor Larrabee had become used ?to flre?men will become used to any thing?and Is a marked man In the. army, hrt he Is chiefly admired as that ? refined little gentleman who, Ilka Da jtld, killed his Goliath. the franklin times - A, F.
