What I ought to do was veiy plain The lessons life which my fond mother had taught me did not mc In doubt I ought to have gone to Adams and made such offer of conciliation gentleman may honorably make to another and it he had rejected that I could bare simply turned from and refused to do a further wrong to right the wrong already done But I not the courage to do that I was coward I feared that my friends would at me and that the especial friends of Adams would point at the fing er of scorn So tn the cowardice of my heart I thought I would be brave before the world and I accepted the challenge The sooner it il over the better remarked And with this sentiment agreed Certainly I responded Let it be on very day at a upon the rivers directly beneath the WhiteHeart I will send a friend to you to make further arrange ments And the weapons Pistols And so it was fiied hour after voids I found John Irict a young physician who agreed to act as my second He did not urge me to abandon the idea nor did he enter upon the work as though be loved it but he did it because he fancied that I was determined and in case of accident his professional services be of value I knew tint Adams was a good shot and he knew that I was the same for we had practiced much to gether so there was no advantage to either party in the weapons After dinner Price came to me and told me that all was arranged bad- been fixed as I had planned and Adams and his second would be on the appointed ground at the appointed time Alter Price had gone I sat down and wrote two letters What a cow ard I was to write them One was to my mother and the other to the gentle being who had promised to be my wife As I sit now and think of that hour I shudder with- horror the hour when I wrote to my mother and to my betrothed What was I about to do To rob them of all earthly joy forever And for what Aye for what Because I had not the courage to be a bold frank nun to obey God and the laws of my country It was to bow a wicked spirit o offer my blood to folly and my hand to murder I WhiteHeart Ledge was a high per pendicular wall of granite rising above the river the top crowned with dark spruce trees It received its name from a peculiar mark where a mass of white appeared half way up the ledge in the foim of a heart I the afternoon I was upon the sandy shore the ledge and almost at the same time Adams appeared We were both anxious to be thought brave men He did not speak to me nor did I speak to him Our seconds conferred a while together and then Price came to my side Must this thing go on he asked I told htm I did not know how it I was a cowards So spoke our old lawtutor Moses Drake And thus he continued had graduated from Harvard laban Adams and myself and he had commenced the practice law Wc were neither of us though could be stopped I lied for I did Only a held back the last fatal word but that word was we raised our pistols a sharp err as from a broken heart burst upon the air and an- other moment two slight shadow flitted upon the scene I was a pris oner Adams was a prisoner Our lay undischarged upon the sand Two gentle maidens who us belter- we loved ourselves and whose love hid led them to deep anxiety In our behalf had guessed the secret Love sharp eyes Clara knew hot when under strong excitement and she hid feared something of this kind from the first She had only to whis per her suspicions to Miry and two sleepier sentinels were upon Those two warm spirits with their cries and tears melted the icy crust and our hearts found the surface in name be enemies no more implored Clara By the love you bear by the of all you hold dear on earth and all you hope to meet in heaven- cast forth the demon from your heart prayed Mary In an instant I resolved to be a man With the arms of my beloved still circling me I stretched forth my hind but was not in advance of As though one spirit had moved us our hands met midway I have been a fool said And I have been a fool and a coward said I was a coward because I dared not do right Aye ciied we have both been cowards And I added had it not been for these blessed angels we have been something worse We returned from the dark ground just as the day was softening into twilight and from that hour Adams and myself fist and they who had saved us from the great crime entered upon the life path with us and have blessed us ever since STOUFFVILLli The of Smith was entered on Thursday night last and a quantity of grain removed There seems to be a had gang in this vicinity Mr Daniel who died last week went for a pail of water and on returning to the taking the cellar stairs for the stepped and fell to the bottom breaking three death resulted from inflammation we both were anticipating that event had a esse in court a case of trespass Adams was for the plain tiff and I for the defendant It was a weak foolish complaint and Adams should not have taken it up It was clearly a case of extortion The plaintiff held a tod over the back of the defendant in the shape of a bit of knowledge concerning the private misstep of a former time and the present complaint was only a seeming legal way in which the olher power was lo be used for the purpose of opening the poor mans purse At the trial I exposed the Kick and ob tained a ruling out by the court of a tot of scandal Adams had planned to Introduce as testimony I was severe and as my opponent had entered upon a very bad case my strictures cut home I gained the verdict for my client and people laughed at the foiled plaintiff and spoke lightly of his lawyer Thus it commenced Adams could not forgive me for the chagrin I had caused him He laid It up against me and talked openly about being reyenged This was on the first of August A month afterwards we met at a party where the gentle- men wine Late In the even ing Adams and I met and a third person made some remark upon the old trial whereupon a fourth person laughed and said lhat I bad done a great thing At this Adams flushed and made an impudent rep The reply was addressed to me and I an it The two outsiders laughed at the hit I made and Adams said something more severe than before I replied to him He deliberately told me I was a liar had been drinking wine and my blood was heated As that harsh hard cowardly word fell upon my ear my passion overcame me I struck Laban Adams In the face and knock ed him back against the wall It was a cowardly thing for me to strike him there In that company but I was too much excited to reflect I expected that Adams would strike back but he did not I was stronger than he though this consideration may not have influenced Mm His friends drew him away and I went out Into the open air As soon the cool fanned my brow eased the heated blood away from my brain I was sorry for what I hid done but it was too late to help the matter I might have gone to Adams and ask ed him to overlook the wrong I had done but had not the courage for that On the following morning a friend named called upon me and resented a note from Adams it tad it to bo ft know He informed me that If I would make the least overture of peace he felt sure that Adams would accept it I think he said that Adams is sorry for what has happened You struck him and he cannot retract And he called me a liar I know he did and know that he did wrong In fact there was wrong upon both sides Offer him your hand and I think he will take it without a word of No I would not do it And why not I wanted to do It My heart urged me to do it The spirit of my deir mother speaking In those old love and blessing urged me to do it And another spirit clothed in younger starry love urged me to it The law of Ihe land urged me to doit And I would not was afraid that men would say was coward I O what a precious coward I was You are both good shots added and if you fire together you may both fall But I dared not offer the hand of conciliation I told Mm I was ready He went to and pretty soon they measured off the ground twelve paces We were to stand back those twelve paces apart We were to turn at the word One we were to raise our pistols at the word Two and at the word Three we were to fire I caught the eye of Adams as I took my position and I was sure that no angry passion dwelt therein For an Instant Impulse was with me to throw down the pistol and offer him hand I was sure he would not refuse me But I hid not the courage to do It would rather do the deep damning than do simple Chrtitlan act of love Our seconds rnaltated as though they saw what was passing In our thoughts but wc offeted no word and they proceeded The word One was given I cannot tell all the feelings that came crowding upon me at that I stood face to face with my brother in a moment we were to offer our hands to the Infernal stain I thought of my mother In her distant home I thought of the scenes of ray childhood bright and promising thought of my college days when I jban Adams had been my friend and chum I thought of the holy love which had beamed upon me since hid grown to mans estate and thought that In one short moment more the buck pall might cover it all I was a long time in pro nouncing the word Two He evi
