Ned wrote the notes as advised and the same evening moooset} to Miss Swift. To the luttex he declared be was in earnest. but coutessed that he was in trouble with other girls. The young lady not only aetepted him but promised to stand by him no matter what the other girls might do. The next day Tom \lsop received an earnest request from Ned to come to see him. On Tom’s arrival Ned de- clared that he had received two formal challenges to mortal combat. What should he do? Would Tom take’the matter up in his behalf? Tom said that he would. and went immediately to his own friend. Dick Thurston. laid the matter before him and it was agreed that Tom should act for Ned in the case of Miss Stevens, while Dick acted for him in the case of Miss Jones. The next thing Ned heard from Tom was that a meeting had been arranged with both Miss Stevens and Miss Jones for the next morning at a seâ€" cluded spot in the country. the two girls to draw lots as to which should have the first crack at her recreant lover. Ned was thrown into a state of consternation at this and endeavor- ed to induce his second to find some way out of the matter without blood- shed. Tom claimed that it was not in his power to have the affair called off and advised him to consult with the lady he had last proposed to and who had promised to stand by him. .Ned went at once to Miss Swift. who. after consideration. agreed to go with him on the field and make an effort to pacify the girls. I On the appointed morning Ned drove to the home of thislast and only true ladylove. and the two arrived on the ground in due time. finding the two principals and Ned’s two seconds there ready for the fray. She stepped for- ward and addressed them as follows: “Ladies. it seems ridiculous to spill blood on account of one man when there are three here. or one for each girl. I am sure these gentlemen. Mr. Alsop and Mr. Thurston. cannot be in- sensible to the charms of Miss Stevens and Miss Jones." Instinctively each girl named looked at the man she preferred. What could the men do? Nothing but surrender to the girl who had looked at him. and the qfl’air. so far 233 Ned and his last and best girl was concerned. was end- ed then and there.
