FL DERECHO De BATIRSE En- DUE[O

Ell duSlo, como institution social,

seg1n ell c6digo del honor no Sc
bate, sc lie llama un cobarde. Jamas Sc
envfa la carcel a un duelista.
Sin embargo, en- dfas pasados un
juez conden6 a prisi6n un duelista
que mato su adversario. Z Reaccio-

Yea usted como fue ell case de este
duelo que difere un poco-s6lo un
POGO de los duelos ordinarios.
La DANA Sc llama Loulu la FL
narde. Esta no es una gran condesa,

bre. Els una mujer de los bajos fon-
dos sociales. Lo que no quita que
fuera joven, bella Y apetecible. Los
duelistas era Maurice ell Terror
Charles ell Asesino. Estos tampo eran
condes nj duques. Fran dos hombres
cuyos retratos estan en- las galerias
policiales.
Estos dos Ihombres eran rivales.
Ambos sclicitaban a la misna mu-
jer, Loulu. Ella, muy justa equi-
tativa, dividi6 sus favores por pa
rejo entire los dos enamorados. Min
guno saba que ell. otro era tambien
favorecido.
Un dfa Carlos ell Asesino descubrio
Loulu en- los brazos de Mauricio
ell Terror.
Ell c6digo del honor exigia que
Carlos el Asesino arrojara el guante
Mauricio ell Terror, pero como Car
los nj tenfa, nj jamas habfa tenido
guantes, us6 sus punos. Mauricio ell
Terror desafi6 en- ell acto a su rival,
.desaffo que, naturalmente, fue acep-
tado.
Sc concerto el duelo para esa mis-
ma noche. No tuvo lugar ell lance,
como los que tienen los mobiles, en- ell
Pare des Princes, sino en- los arraba-
les de Paris. Y padrinos no hubo dos
por cada duelista, sine seis. Ademas,
Sc lie dio a Loulu un lugar de honor
al frente de los combatientes.
En- este difere este duelo de los
duelos tradicionales. Pero usted no ha
de esperar que los apaches parisien-
ses sigan al pie de la letra ell codigo
de los caballeros.
Tampoco era ell duelo forete nj

Ell hecho es que ambos duelistas te-

El duelo era a muerte, como sen
muchos duelos entire caballeros. Ere
un duelo sin cuartel, que solo concluia
con uno de los combatientes.
Por supuesto, este duelo era mas Sc.
