worse her husband growled.
Finally she began poking under the

One of the most notorious Hungarian
duelists fought his thirty duel in
1886 and celebrated the event by ban
quet, to which only those who could
prove that they had participated in at
least six duels were invited. There
was room full of such warriors, some
with faces scanned with scars, others
minus an ear, an eye or with two or
three fingers missing. The most mark
ed OF all was Frenchman who had
lost bis nose in an encounter with
Count Andrassy, the statesman. There
was only one relaxation of the rule,
and that was made In favor of lady
who had killed her man.
