it is claimed. of NJ. Isaac, fred among the
working people, killing and wounding women
and children, as well as men. NJ. Isaac has
been the object of frequent and bitter attack
on the part of the socialists.
The marquis has lately trained with the So
cialists. and he saw no better way of gaining
popularity with them than by drawing a chaE
lenge from the man who was charged with hav-
ing their comrades shot down at Fourmies.
1t was by skillful feint that De Mores sue
ceeded in disabling his man. He made thrust
as if at the left breast. and rs Isaac made a mo-
ton to parry the blow De Mores with almost
uncomfortable swiftness, struck fiercely and
forcibly to the right, plunging his weapon into
the breast Of Isaac.
The latter staggered, the blood pouring from
the wound. He held on to his sword and made
a motion as if to attack DE Mores again. The
latter stood calm, and turning to his second
asked for cigar. This was handed to him, and
lighting 1t he quietly smoked while the condi-
ton Of Isaac was being examined.
Inc attending surgeons pronounced the
wound dangerous and possibly fatal if not
speedily attended to. They stanched the

Isaac staggered to his feet and insisted on
continuing the fight.
1T was to be a duel to the DEATH" he said,
'and it must go on"
The seconds in the meantime held consulta-
tion and then stepped up to the combatants.
1t would be murder, they said. for them to
permit the duel to be continued further. NJ.
Isaac was dangerously wounded and not in q
condition to offer such resistance as would
justify his antagonist in proceeding.
de Mores was disappointed He would have
liked, it was evidnnt, to have had the privi-
lege Of killing Isaac, but he knew there
was limit beyond which French law

consented to stay his hand. As for NJ. Isaacs
he was physically unable to resist the decisions
Of the seconds. and he was removed from the
field. The socialists are making n hero Of De
