Throwing people into the water to let it determine their innocence or guilt. iras widely in use in the seven- i_eentli centuries. A synod of West Prussia forbade its use in 1745. Sporn~ dic cases; however, occurred during the whole of the nineteenth century. Prof. E. P.

They were both » young men of the world and were chat- l ting about social matters. Charles Thi- badeaux was speaking. “The northern city I most fancy in Ainerfcll," he said, “is New York. At V least it is to me less objectionable, puri- lnnlcnlly considered, than other north- ern cities. But my delight ls our own beloved New Orleans. in the Crescent City the men are brave to recklessucss und the women are beautiful. l spent lust winter there." “Who was the most beautiful woman _ in New Orleans society last winter?" asked the speakcr’s companion, Ed- ward Remington. “The most beautiful woman, to my thinking, was Q widow-a Mrs. Le~ l molne. Though nearly forty, she retain- ed her youthful appearance. She was a queenly beauty, lull, splendldly formed land 'with a face devoid of a single wrinkle. But I um sorry to say there 1 were unpleasant things said about her. E Some past indlscreiiou had cast u _ blemish upon her good name." Margaret Lemoiue paid no attention l to what the young men were saying till she heard her mothers name spoken; then naturally she pricked up her ears. When she heard tho :ls- persloncast upon her mother’s good name the blood rushed to her cheeks land her eyes lit with li sudden fire. 5 She leaned forward to hurl back the i accusation, but words failed her. The :young men, unconscious of what was i above them, smoked on. Miss Lemolne l withdrew from the window and began l to pace the floor. “lt is time" she said, “that this woman‘s slandercrs received u check. name so g y eu s wel s. y | Hastily folding the paper on which , this communication was inconsider- ,atc-ly written, Margaret went to the ‘ window and tossed it ut the feet of the young men. Both reached for it. but Thibadeunx secured lt. Then nfter 1 a glance upward and with no sight of any one who might have thrown it he l rend its contents nlond to his friend. ,The two looked at each other with l a serious expression. “Ned,” said Thlblldeilnx presently. I dou't like the situation.” “Nor I. In listening to your re- , marks I ern ns culpable as you who 3 ha\'e made them." “You have nothing to do with the mailer. The responsibility rests on me." After e conference it was decided that Thlbudeuux should write li note to this Mark Renard, whoever he might hc, und it should be left at the 1 door of the house from which the note had been thrown. It sold that the V writer acknowledged himself io be lblnmublo in repeating rl scruidlil fori which he had no proof and apologized therefor. lf after this apology Mr. Renard still insisted on ll meeting his demand could not be denied. A reply would be looked for the next lifter- lnoon, selit in the same way us the first message. . Naturally Thibadeaux was desirous! of knowing something of the inyste-l lions challenger. Early in the after- lloon appointed for the reply he took position behind the blinds of A win- dow commanding a view of the house, from whence it should come. ln time , he saw a shutter open just far enough for a hand to pliss through and toss a note on to the bench on which he had sat the day before. The distance was too great for him to discover that the hand was delicately formed, but he saw something that astonished him. The sunlight striking it was sent buck ln li bright flash. Evidently Mr. Ilo- nnrd wore rl jeweled ring. lilen seldom wear rings unless they ure seals, which are not likely to spur- kle. Therefore Charles Thlbsdenux was not long in divinlnl; that his correspondent was a woman. All thoughts of a bloody encounter van- ished. and ln their place came s de- , sire to know more of his fair chal- l lenlzen Ile slinntered into the garden, mm, rad it Onlyonodovoidotslonliofhonorwfll ‘ Qual: llfhtly of 1 wvmanls (abd name. I om determined to show then alleged in Qraading this enlumny that it cannot be dons with impunity. I therefore hull! on satisfaction. Thlbadeaux after much thought threw the note down, laying to him- self: “The satisfaction I will _give you, dear ludy, fl’ I find you as attractive as my imagination paints you, is nn- ofher ring to be worn on the third finger of your left hand.” The young man mused on, consider- ing every possible method ot pro- cedure. At first he was inclined to meet his challenger on the held and there make it known that he knew her sex. But he feared that sho might be further irritated. Before the day was done ho had decided on his course. Ile wrote her as follows: It is not by receiving your fire, my dolf slr, that I can atono for my fault. hut by hunting down the perpetrator of this lean-» dlil. I received it from a woman and am confident lt originated In a, woman. If within three months I do not bring you I retraction from its originator I will not deny you the satisfaction you demand. I shall look for your reply at the same hour l0Il'lOI`l‘0W. The next afternoon 'rhibsdelinx watched Miss Lemoino’s window through a pnlr of glasses and saw the -hand much more clearly than before. This time the note was thrown by the left hand. _ "Not married and not engaged," the watciler remarked to himself with satisfaction. “1'm pleased to notice that the third finger is unoccupied." The note had evidently been written in un exuberance of delight and Wal consequently u dead give away. Your proposition is accepted. You hlvc shown yourself to be a noble msn. If I were n woman 1'm sure I should fall in love with you. _“Thank you," remarked Thlhsdeanx. "That's exactly what I »,W1sb you to do." After writing one more note, stating that he was leaving for New Orleans und hoped within the specified time to bring the vindication, he made ready for his departure. But tivo of the three months had elapsed when Miss Lemolne received the following note from the man who was to quushthe slander or iight: I hand you herewith an acknowledg- ment trom Miss Lemolne’s traducer that there was no truth ln the story she cir- culated. I am sorry, however, lo admit, my dear slr, that your good opinion of me expressed in s letter written before my departure was misplaced. 1 acquired this retraction by dlshonorablo means. I .mode love to the woman who wrote ft. accused her cf mlsrepresenting the fact! in this cuss and agreed to forgive her only upon her written confession. I am yours unworthlly, _ CHARLES F. THIBADEAUX. Having dispatched this self accusing epistle, the writer waited impatiently for a reply. It was this: I assure you, slr, that by your conduct you have not only relieved me and tho subject of filo confession of a burden, but you have shown yourself, notwithstanding’ your own opinion of your acl, too honor- able, too lovely, for anything. Your de- ception was perfectly excusabla I shall :ilrvnys respect and admire you for it. It is needless for me to add that mY shal- lenge is withdrawn. Thlbadeuux chuckled over this letter with its nnlnlike beginning and its feminine ending. Ile was anxious to get rl glimpse of this lady who had sent lliln li chnllenge to mortal combat and thus declared that she respected and n
