Of Jacob Sellgman, the London banker.
He Is reputed 10 have more blood rela-

Although Bernstein is only thirtyfiv
years old. he has already fought eight
successful duels. These go to show that
his desertion from the army was not due
TO cowardice.
His fiercest duel was with Leon Daudet
OF the noted literary family. Hatred was
lent to the combat because Daudet dis
