Mr.. Angelica reached the crossing
he asked a man standing nearby if
any train was in sight, receiving a

Mr.. Angelica states that it was

A Duel In Balloons.

1t was In 1908 that Mile. Tirevit
graced the footlights of the Imperial
Opera at Paris. She attracted many
men, especially one NJ. de Grandpre
and another, NJ. lie Pique. They be-
came jealous of each other aud decid-
ell that d duel was the only way out
OF their predicament 1t was to be a
duel without hatred, and so they post
poned the great event for one month
Meanwhile they came 10 the concur
sion that an ordinary duel wouldn't do
at all and hit upon the idea of fighting
IN the air. SO they ordered two bal
looms constructed exactly alike and on
the night of June % settled their af-
fairs in anticipation OF the great event
upon the morrow. At the appointed
hour each man entered his balloon
armed with a blunderbuss, and at a
signal the ropes were cut, and up they
went. They were to fire at the bal
looms, not at each other. At a height
or half mile In the air NJ de Grand
pre- sent bali through NJ. lie Pique's
balloon, and the latter was dashed to
pieces. The other landed safely sew
