Such Was his fame as a duellist, that it was thought to be little less than suicide for a man not perfectly-expert with the pistol lo meet bim in iho "field of honor,'1 as this sort of mur derer! call tho place where they shoot one another. In dress nnd manners he was a fop and a swaggerer. His red, bushy whiskers almost met on his chin ; his shirt ruffles were long and projecting ; his cravat was stuffed with pnddinrr until it almost buried his chin ; and his boll crowned hat was tilted over bts lett eyebrow when he walked or rather strutted along thestreet, swinging and plumping down his cane nt every step : and wheresocror he j unit, he overlooked everybody, and cxpect , td the way to be clcaied for him by high ami tow, lie consiucrta ntmseii jusdiicu in lording it over all who were about bim, be cause he was the most formidable man yi town. If any peaceful, worthy man did not cower at his presence, he was sura to resent tho sup posed indignity by sneers and insults. Many were the pompous gibes and bombastic win eisms that he discharged from day to day at tho schoolmaster, Jedediah Bnteman, who did not humble himself like a dog befoie the high and mighty Maj. Dnshwell Bickcrton, as the duellist styled himself. He professed lo have borne a Major's commission in the army, and boasted of bis exploit in Gen. Wayne's expe dition against tho Indians. Bo mo people doubted whether he bad been in that expedi tion at all, tr cause ho cave some erroneous ! accounts of marches and battles ; but they doubted only in their hcaiU, for who Ua re insinuate iho suspicioo of falsehood to the Major's terrible sell; the Major's longuc ruihl err, but bis pistol was nevertheless true. V bo would have thought that our dry-faced school master would, fjiKtof all, have the hardihood lo re tort thespecrs and insults of this hero of the pistol 1 He bore several of these attacks j with the ulmost composure. Not a muscle ofjiis face changed its habitual fixedness, not j a (I i op more or less blood colored his cheek , neither word nor look indicated the slightest feeling of the bully's satire. lie ctau ged the artillery of his wit with still heavier loads of turbid phrase?, to express his contempt for : tho schoolmaster. Still the Yankee winked not; be only began, with the 5obcrc.it and moil unfeeling gravity to utter sotoe repar tee, as dry and grating as the sand of Ara- bia, yet so perfectly free from open insult, as to increase- the duellist' i pride without furnish Wtij Una a pretext lo tike r tliufe. But the natural malignity of bU temper was so embit tered by the schoolmaster's mortify lug indiT fertnee and icy wit that he began to insult bin) outrageously on all occasions, with the obvious inU'tihon ol provoking a deadly quar rel with turn. Still the Vankuo persevered la his niieiiurbable coolness, and replied only by jokes and sarcasm of mor stony and in- ; JigeMiLh- buidneajj. The bully's toge became uobx)und.-d, and the Yankee' friends saw that ,r .. the affair would SOOO , COIllC to personal violence. But their kind endeti vnrs were in . . vam to persuade Jedtdiflb to soothe the bul- r , . r U rage. " If yoo rnorttfy his pride any Jar ther,' Mid they, "he will assault you, and you will nave to let him 0at you wun nut cane, or shoot you with Ins pistol." '' I shall let him do neither, I guess," said the Yankee. " How will you prevent hitn ?"' " You will see when the lime comes,'' was the final reply. . In the evening, at supper, the duellist, as usual, began to utler something designed to provoke the Yankee. At first Jedediah give i t II".
