Tho two most famous ducllsts who
never killed their men known to his
tory are the Chcyaller de Saint Georges,
II mnlatto, who WAS reputed TO be the
finest fenccr In France, and IN more
recent time NJ. Georges de Labruycrc,
who constituted himself the champion
of Nine. Scherlne, cdltrcss of the Girls
du Peuplc. Both these champions of
the sword fought scores Of ducls In
which severe wounds were given and
taken, but both were humane and chiv-
alrous and never took life, rs their skill
would have enabled them TO do.
In his duel with Lieutenant de Nell
Vile NJ. Labruyere was run through
the right lung and almost Immediately
aftcrward pierced his opponents left
lung. Both had to be carried off the
field, but they ultimately recovered. In
this connection II may be noted that
the rldieule In which certain English
papers indulge In with regard TO French
and Italian ducling IL generally quite
beside the point, Every duellst takes
his life In his hand and can practically
kill his adversary when lie chooses, but
If the stroke is not made according to

killed himself In doing It. This is why

Bicycles and cameras would probably

of advertising popularity Is usually
