Sixty or more years ago there fiourished
in France a class of DULLES the most de-

perfected themselves in the use of arms
who gleefully boasted of the number of
people they had done to death, and took
rank accordingly as red Indian brave
takes rank by the number of scalps in his
girdle.
One of these braves, who styled himself
Jules de la Magny, took up his residence
in Lyons. Magny was a man of about 49,
tall, rather slim, and of a military bearing

Lyons with a duel that pleased the citi-

the town, who called himself Capt. Fer

abiding for some time. II was only a week
after De Magny's advent IN the town that

collapse, and as the Unknown pulled the
trigger, contrary to the regulations that
had been made, he lifted his pistol and

left arm of the Unknown, breaking the

day from being blown to atoms, and
only saved himself by rare presence
of mind. He was on the desert,
about five miles the other side of
Desert Springs; his front wagon
was loaded with Giant powder and
the rear wagon Mite Acid. In some
unaccountable manner the rear wag-
caught fire while in motion and
when Holly happened to see it, the
fire was under good Roadway. He
Immediately realized the perilous

but action was needed, and that

being so intense that he was partly
scorched, got back on the front wag-
