down proportionate with the lesser mans skfIN
both must fire impetuously and their fate Is
more on an equal basis.
This explains why so many French duels end
with the conventional phrase, 1.-TWO balls were
exchanged without results" Many seconds
do not regard even this precaution In the rules
as adequate to meet certain situations. The
seconds have the duty of loading the pistols
and in many cases they may regard the reason
for the duel as trivial, whatever the principals
may think. Usually all parties engaged are
more or less personal friends and so it often
happens that blank cartridges are placed in the
pistols, unknown to the combatants. deli%
cate situation is solved and honor is satisfied.
THE duel au wise" is simpler, but moro
deadly. The men face each other with
their pistol arms down parallel with their legs.
The director of combat calls Are you ready?"
AT his discretion, when both have replied, he
calls Fire"
Each combatant then has the choice of LETT
ting fly at once, or of biding his time and TAX
ing the risk of running his adversary's fire in
order to take careful aim. If one waits, the
other, having fired, must drop his pistol and
stand immobile and await his enemy'S bullet.
This form of dueling Is now infrequent chiefly
because it is difficult to find reputable seconds
to act in such cases. for the duel is likely to
degenerate into something little short of cold
blooded murder.
The swords generally used in French duelS ara
the slender, flexible, dull-edged weapons with
points sharpened to the utmost keenness, and
known as "epees de combat" They are shorter
and lighter than the rapier and heavier and
superior in quality to the fieuret. foil. Duels
with sabers are now practically out of practice
in France.
In pistol dueling special pistols are used, fir
Ing spherical bullet nearly half inch in
diameter.
The return Of the duel fulflls a prophecy Of

workmanship was Adolphe Possein, a fiery
French journalist He knew nothing of the
art of workmanship, but had several serious
fights and always won without taking scratch
himself.
His method was simple. In the French duel
the fighting begins when the director Of combat
orders, "Allez, Messieurs," (Go, gentlemen).
PoSSein never waited for the word "Messieurs"
but upon hearing the word "Allez." went after
his adversary like a fash His opponent, not
used to such mad tactics, usually got his before
the fight for him had started. None of PosSeins
duels lasted more than few seconds and he
won them all.
N France pistol duels are much less frequent
than fights with swords. Pistol 6uels, gov
erned by strict rules, are of two kinds: The
duel au commandment" and the duel au
wise" The latter is the more deadly and the
most bloodthirsty form of regulated combat
In the duel au commandment" the adver-
saries fire at the word of command. 1t offers
a striking Illustration of the method by which
risks are now equalized in cases where COM
batants are of widely differing degrees of skill
fulness.
The men face each other 25 yards apart, each
holding his pistol at arms length by his side
Firing takes place when the director, standing
midway between and at one side of the men,
gives the order Fire" followed by the words
"One, Two Three" Neither man must lift his
arm or fire before 1.-TWO" has been spoken but
both must fire before three" has been called
ANY breach of this etiquette means dishonor-
able conduct on the dueling field.
The scope this system gives to the man direct
ing the combat to equalize the chances Of the
two men is obvious. He is, OF course, acquaint-
ed with their relative degree of skill and 1t is
his duty in honor, to see that their chances
shall be as nearly equal as possible. The call
ing of the fatal numbers a little quicker or q
little slower may make all the difference between
life and death of one Of them.
If the more skillful combatant is given time
he should easily score, but II the time Is cut
