UN DUELO ORIGINAL
ENTIRE DOS SEN)RITAS RIYsLE

Prueba 10 mucho que avanza ell fe-
minismo, 10 acontecido en- Touber
entire dos seflorjtas que sc disputa-
ban ia blanca mano' de I'm captain.
Las dos eran, segl1n ha contado
toda la prensa, jovenes, bon itas va
lientes. Estaban empleadas con mag
nllcos sueldos en- una importante
casa de comercio, y Sc llama ban Rel
ter la una y Ia otra Marina. La pri.
mera. de veinte afIos con tez more
ma; la segunda, de dicinueve amos v
rubia como Ell orc.
Ciegamente Sc disputaban Ell amor
de ''su capt. an. Reiter, con ARE
batos de histerica y vehemencias de
muJer ardorosa y apasionada. Mari
ma, con tranquilo refexivo teson,
sin paclencias, hacienda gala de
imperturbable fidelidad sajona.
Como ninguna de elias quisiera
dejar Ell puesto su contraria, deci-
dleron que Ell duelo ventilase tai
question. resolviendo la muerte 10
que era impossible solucionar vivien-
do las dos rivales.
Concurria la circunstancia agra
vanSe de que Ell favorecido captain
habia dado a las dos palabra de ma
trlmonio. No magin6 nunca ell mi
litar tenorio las terribles consecuen-
cias de su ligereza.

pr6ximo la ciudad. Fue a pistola
y en- condolences duris imas. pocos
hombres aceptarian tan peligrosas
clausulas en- un lance; dez pasos,
d1sparos simultan eos, sin testigos
sustituy yendo 10 voz de mando por la
cafda de una hoja.
iQue detalle mas poetico de este
duelo otofal! La cafda de la hoia
hacienda de sefial, como 81 fuese Ia
voz de ifuego!
es que Ell espiritu femenino i'm
pregna de romanticismo 4 las mas
crueles tragedias. La rubia Marina.
con su aplomo y serenidad apunt6
acknowledgements, hizo blanco in
crusto una bala en- la linda cabeza de
su adversaria. Esta cay6 desploma-
da y fallecio los pocos momentos.
Las autoridades interviewer en- el
asunto, y la opinion del mundo en-
tero comenta el tragico fin de este
,desafio sin ejemplo. Una hoja que
cae, una existencia que sucumbe y
una illusion que llora marchita.

the first negro race conference
ever held in South Carolina. He
spoke In the afternoon at Allen

tonight addressed large audience
at the Columbia Theatre. The first
floor was reserved for white people.
Seated on the stage were several
prominent white citizens, together
with a number of negro leaders
from this and other states.
Washington, after pratsing the
work of Rev. Richard CARROLL, the
moving spirit of the conference said
that the holding of this conference
. in South Carolina was in his opln-
ion, evidence that the friendly feel
ing between the races was steadi
growing. Washington said In part:
We of both races are to live
here in the South side by side for
all time, no matter what theories
may be advanced and emphasized.

to me, Is the fact which we must
