Sending A Head Phone Cue Via My Mackie 1620i Firewire Mixer

Greetings macPro Users,
Here is my question: I am using Ableton live 8 in conjunction with my Mackie 1620i Onyx mixer and would like to send my drummer a "click" track to play live with Ableton. My mixer has 2 channels of Fire monitoring routable to either the control room or channels 15 and 16. The problem that I can not figure out is how to send a stereo signal out of my mixer without having the audience hear it. I configured the "click" to be on the left channel and the audio signal coming from Ableton on the right. The problem is that I am only sending out an mono signal to the house and I am having to connect my speakers to each other for stereo. Reading through the instruction manuel it states on page 196 "In order to set Live up for cueing, you must be using an audio interface with at least four dedicated outputs (or two dedicated stereo outputs). The respective settings are accessible in the Session View mixer. Make sure you have the Mixer and In/Out options checked in the View menu."
Being that I only have two channels for firewire monitoring, is it not possible to configure my mixer with Ableton for the cue with a stereo signal out?
Cheers and I hope I have nor perplexed anyone my my question!
