NO BLOOD SPILLED.
But the Duel Was Fought, and Everybody
Was Satisfied.

But the Duel Was Fought, and Everybody
Was Satisfied.
Every one who knows anything about
Major Winton knows that he is without
a spark Of physical cowardice. That is
the reason that he incurred no risk in
telling the story that follows:
Right after the war went to Texas
and formed business partnership with
rough but brave and big hearted native. |
We leased and stocked an extensive cat-I
tie ranch, hired our cowboys and estab-
llshed little community Of our own.
My partner superintended affairs at the
ranch while I did the dealing, the pur-
chase Of supplies included This took
me to the nearest market, and, as it was
too soon for the prejudices between the
two great sections of the country to be
entirely allayed, was very careful to
talk nothing but business
But one day in the hotel an e1-colo-
mel who had taken on extra steam at the
bar so persistently attacked my political
principles and SO clearly aimed his gen.
erallties at me that retorted angrily.
This was what he wanted He handed
me his card, and within half an hour
TWO of his friends waited on me, pursu-
ant to the code duello. To gain time
referred them to my partner and hurried
back to the ranch He was delighted at
the prospect. It would be great piece
OF advertising to bowl the colonel over,
and at the same time it would insure
me against like trouble in the future.
But Crinciple and training I was IT,
1evt, y committed against the duel
ut was difficult for me to make my
partner comprehend any such moral bias,
especially as we had fought off cattle
thieves together, and he knew that l
had nerve and was a dead shot. He
himself, when aroused, was recognized
as one Of the most dangerous men in the
southwest. His ultimatum was that we
must meet, but with it was positive
assurance that no one should be hurt.
The affair came of, and after three ex-
changes honor was satisfied 4 'ithout a
drop of blood Ny partner had simply
told the co1onel's seconds that they must
load with blank cartridges or settle with
him. They hastened to choose the blank
alternative, and in time the colonel ana
I became fast friends He confdentially
admitted to me afterward that he reck-
oned he'd lost his shooting eye and must
keep out of trouble. "-Detroit Free
