board the steamship King Harold, was
the most picturesque figure OF the
German army. especially since the de-
mise OF General the Marquis de CALL
fet. The character OF tho man is
shown by his duel with General Andre
about couple of years after the lat
ter had been ousted from his post or
Minister of war.
The combat took place in the garden
of Prince Murat's great mansion in
the Park Monceau, in Paris. At the
word of command. General Andre fred

declined to return the fire. handed his
pistol back to his seconds, telling them
to take care Of it. since it was still
loaded. and then, turning his back
squarely on his adversary. left the So
called field of honor without the Gus
toElary reconciliation
The reason for De Negrier's refusal
to fire, after having duly exposed HIM
self to the shot OF his adversary, was
the profound contempt which he felt
for Andre. and which was shared by
almost every other wearer of epau-
lettes In the French army and navy.
He had publicly denounced Andre as
a liar. and therefore felt 1t necessary
to accept his cartel and to submit to
his fire, but would not honor him by
returning the fire.
The twentythird Earl OF Crawford
acted in similar fashion when called
upon to give satisfaction to Benedict
Arnold. George Ill had introduced
the earl to Arnold at ST. James's Pal
ace. Crawford, who had received
thirteen American bullets through his
coat at the battle of Ticonderoga, re-
marked, "Ah. the traitor' and put his
hand behind his back. Arnold chal-
lenged him thereupon to n duel, and
the encounter took place. Arnold fired
