and Count Michael Karolyi. The duel
was fought in ono of tho principal
! fencing schools of tie city. There
were no less than thirty-two rounds.
during the course of which TisZn took
the offensive throughout, repeatedly
wounding karolyi. cutting open his
head. slashing him about the arm
and body, until he was placed com
! plctely hors dc combat.
| Twenty -four hours later TisHa fought
another duel, this time with Count
! Aladar Szechenyi who also is nearly
Il score OF years his junior. and put
him as completely hors de combat aa
Karolyi.
Michael Karolyi is absolutely fear
less, and his foolhardy fcats are
numerous and as picturesque as those
of the so celebrated Count Sander,
father Of Princess Pauline Mettcrnich.

dismay. that he had left a most inn
portant document, which he would
need ut Vienna. on his writing table
| III his palace al Budapest.
| Without waiting a moment, and before
| Count Andrassy had any idea or his
purpose. Michael Karolyi opened the
| door of the COMPARTMENT and, saying,
II will bring it on 10 you by the next
! traini" jumped out Of the express
! Convinced that karolyI had either
killed himself or had at least sustain cd
some grave injury. Andrassy pulled the
danger signal, which brought tho train
| 10 a sudden stop-but some distance
OF course, further on.
| Andrassy and the train crew went
| back. and the track was carefully
searched, but no trace could be found
of karolyi. or any sign OF a personal
injury to him. The train thcreupon
proceeded to its destinations On
reaching Vienna, Count Andrassy found
q telegram awaiting him there, from
Narolyi informing him that he had
got the document, and would arrive
IN Vienna only n few hours later.
