establishments charfed him upon his success with the Fare, ewen among
the werry hiest of the Nobillerty, and CHARLES bore it all with a
good-natured larf that showed off his ivory teeth to perfecshun. Of
course it was all in fun, as they said, and probberly thort, till
on this fatal ewening, the noose spread like thunder, through the
estonished world of Fashun, that CHARLES had heloped with the welthy,
the middle-aged, but still bewtifool, Marchioness of ST. BENDIGO.

CHAPTER III.--_THE DEWELL_.

The pursoot was rapid and sucksessful, and the MARKISS's challenge
reyther disterbed the gilty pair at their ellegant breakfast. But
CHARLES was as brave as he was fare, and, having hired his fust Second
for twenty-five francs, and made a few other erangements, he met his
hantigginest on the dedly field on the follering day at the hunerthly
hour of six hay hem. CHARLES, with dedly haim, fired in the hair! but
the MARKISS being bald, he missed him. The MARKISS's haim was even
more dedly, for he, aperiently, shot his rival in his hart, for he
fell down quite flat on the new-mown hay, and dishcullered it with his
blud!

The MARKISS rushed up, and gave him one look of orror, and, throwing
down a £1000 pound note, sed, "that for any one who brings him two,"
and, hurrying away to his Carridge, took the next train for Lundon.
CHARLES recovered hisself emediately, and, pocketing the note, winked
his eye at the second second, and, giving him a hundred-franc note for
hisself, wiped away the stains of the rouge and water, and returned to
breakfast with his gilty parrer-mour.
