She was certainly not a woman versed in the ways of man and in the ways or handling man.

Sheldon went on wearily. “but Why you should try them on me is what I can’t comprehend. You surely don’t want to quarrel with me.” “I certainly do.” “But what in heaven’s name for?" Tudor surveyed him with withering disgust. “You haven’t the soul of a louse. I suppose any man could make love to your wife”- “As if that would settle it.” was the retort. “Now. let me tell you that the Solomon islands are not big enough for the pair of us. This thing’s got to be settled between us. and it may as well be settled right here and now." "I hope you won’t attempt anything like it again. that's all-except that I shall be only too happy any time to extend to you the courtesy of my Whaleboat. It will land you in ’l‘ulagt in a few hours." “But 1 have no wife," Sheldon inter- mpted. He turned toward the door as it to put his words into execution. but the other caught him by the shoulder and twirled him around. “You”â€"â€" he began violently. then abruptly caught control of himself and went on soothingly. “I’ll call the boat’s crew and launch a boat. You’ll be in Tulagi by 8 this evening." “Look here. Sheldon. I told you the Solomons were too small for the pair of us. and I meant it.” Sheldon sat and mused He was I trifle angry. and the more he dwelt upon' the happening the angrier he grew. Joan was the last woman In the world to attempt to kiss forcibly. The thing smacked or the backstalra anyway-31 sordid little comedy per- haps. but to have tried it on Joan was nothingr less than sucnlege. The man should have had better sense. It was while in this mood that the screen door banged loudly behind the heels or 'I‘udor. who strode into the room and paused before him. “Well?" ’l‘udor demanded defiantly. And on the instant speech rushed to Sheldun’s lips. “Then you ought to have. Tfle situa- tion ts outrageous. You might at least marry her. as 1 am honorably willing to do.” For the first time Sheldon’s rising anger boiled over. “Beâ€"he"â€" she attempted to m dlcate ner deeper indignation. then whirled abruptly away and passed out the rear door and down the steps. “Is that an offer to buy Berande. lock. stock and barrel?"

Then it was that Sheldon struck out. ebony and deliberately, with all the strength of his arm. and Tudor. caught on the jaw. fell sideways. crumpling as he did so and crushing a chair to kindling wood beneath the weight of his falling body. He pulled himself slowly to his feet, but did not offer to rush. “Now. will you fight?"

I’ll give it to you. But it is ab- surd. What kind of a duel shall it be? There are no seconds. What weapons shall we use?" “I've often thought that the ideal duel should be somewhat different from the modern conventional one. No seconds. of course. and no onlook- ers.
