A Curiosity In Oueis.

In the history Of dueling it has sel,
dom happened that neither adversary
would fire upon the other. Such a case
occurred at Moscow. where. after an
alteration in a tramway car. a young
STAFF lieutenant challenged a retired
general Of over sixty to a duel.
The challenge was accepted, and an
encounter with pistols was arranged In
a wood. When the signal to fire was
given. to the great surprise Of the Sec
onds. neither duelist fred.
The former explained afterward that
he could not risk destroying a young
life over u triviality. while the lieuten.
ant said that it was impossible to fire
upon an opponent who had not raised
his arm.
