AN UNFOUGHT DUEL
Artist Drove All Desire for Con-
test Our of Challenger.
Display of Workmanship Sufficient,
According to Story of Student Days
of Late William Merritt Chase.

A good story about the student days
of the late William M. Chase, the noted
artist, is told in the Century in Illus
tration of the fact that although a
peaceable person Chase had in his ma
ture great capacity for righteous in
dignation. .sThe demand for justice
was one of his beautiful qualities,
writes Katherine Metcalf Roof yet
his psychological processes were such
that the results Of his acts were not
infrequently in ludicrous contrast with
his entirely praiseworthy intentions.
A typical adventure of this sort befell
him in Madrid.
He had heard a great deal of the
cruelty of the Spaniard to animals,
stories to which the painful sights of
maItreated horses and donkeys usual
in Latin countries had given corrobo-
ration. One of the tales that had par
ticularly infamed him was statement
that the Spaniards were in the habit of
giving small quantity OF poison to
dogs, but not sufficient to kill, in order
to amuse themselves with the sight of
the animals suffering. Whether true
or not, the story made great impress
sion upon the artists mind. One day
as he was passing house in Madrid
dog, frothing at the mouth and comfort
ed in apparent agony, tumbIed out of a
doorway, accompanied by a pursuing
crowd of men. The painters humane
indignation being aroused at this hor-
rid proof of the truth of the tale. he
acted swiftly. Mercy demanded that
the animal be put out of its. misery at
once. He raised his cane, and with
strong and unerring aim brought its
head down upon the animals skull,
promptly ending it's supposed suffer
ings forever But the result was q
mob, much tumult. an angry and
threatening babel Of voices in an I'M
known tongue.
upon the sea of this picturesque,
but not reassuring. mob Chase was
borne along the narrow street until
they Glanced upon a circus tent. At
its door stood a ticket man who was
able to act as interpreter. and when it
was revealed that the dog had been
suffering merely from a common fits
and however ne may or may not have
been treated in life, he was now, it
seemed, passionateiy mourned by his
outraged master, whose grief demand

BAD ACCIDENT FOR BOYS

People out on Fort King avenue
last evening about 500 were sur
prised to see big, handsome, auto
hearse come in from the east. It was
closed but light shining thru the
glass panels showed that living peo-
pie were inside. tt stopped at the
Harrington corner and the driver
asked the way to the hospital. a
physician passing in his car at once
volunteered to pilot the unusual
equipage to the required goal.
The hearse was being used as an
ambulance and it made a very good
one, too. It was the property of I'M
dertaker Caldwell of Leesburg and
contained two badly wounded boys.
The boys were Josiah Lee, aged Ia,
son of MIR. j. A. Lee of near Lees
burg, and Ernest Tanner, little col
ored boy. Both had been out hunting
yesterday, and late in the afternoon,
the white boy, teasing the colored
boy, with what he supposed was an
empty shell in his gun, caught the
little darkey's hand and held it over
the muzzle, while he pulled the trig-
ger.
But the shell wasn't empty. The
load tore thru both hands, the white
boys left and the negro's right, in
fiicting ugly wounds.
Mr.. Lee desired to bring his son
and the little darkey to the OcaIa
hospital. There was no ambulance or
other suitable equipage, so Mr.. Cald-
well offered his hearse, in which was
put cot for young Lee.
The little negro was not so badly
wounded and could sit up. The hearse
was driven by Mr.. Eisenstein, accom-
panied by Mr.. Caldwe1I's son, while
Mr.. Lee. in the vehicle, took care of
the boys. The trip was made in good
time and with little discomfort.
It wasn't long after reaching the
hospital before the wounds were
dressed and the boys comfortably put
to bed. They are both resting easily
today.

the spot. A sort or truce was parcned
up, and the painter was allowed to go
home, but that afternoon he received
an invitation TO visit a certain cafe in
the evening in order to discuss the
matter further. It became evident that
the idea of vengeance still possessed
the mind of the bereaved dog owner.
Nov, Chase was crack shot. He
accepted the invitation to the cafe, and
while they sat there in clouds Of
smoke. to sthe accompaniment of gui-
tars. he amiably amused his audience
with the exhibition of his skill, such
as cutting a thread with shot, shoot
ing a tiny tack suspended from NOV
ing string, and splitting a card placed
edgewise in a crack in the wall. And
as the enthusiasm of the audience
waxed greater, from the tail of his eye
he saw his enemy shriveI against the
wall. 1t was clear that he had lost
all desire for contest of arms with
the painter Chase heard no more of
the duel of the dog"
