answered with dignity and style
The answer appeared few weeks
ago in critica, leading Buenos Aires
afternoon newspaper.
"At the point of his sword" it
shouted from the first page, under an
eight column headline, Baron En-
rique Lancia di Brolo will make
Aniceto Rodriguez kneel before him
in the ring"
If this was a touche, ii evoked an
immediate riposte Next afternoon
the headlines of the same paper in
formed a gawking public that Baron
di Brolo's threats make me laugh. /,
who in 1893 made him kneel before
me-"
The Baron did not fail to reply 10
this taunt, but his words were too
hot for print
Their gist was that, though il was
true that he and Rodriguez. former
champion fencer of South America,
had fought in Luna Park IL years
ago, though the latter had at the
time gashed him thrice 10 his once,
nevertheless the whole affair had
been too irregular, too lacking in

time the bargainsale bravo, Rodri-

FOIL in hand, Baron Enrique Ian
= cia iii BrolO, former fencing
\ champion of the world, stood
rigidly at attention, facing the wall.
Staring him in the eye was an iden-
tical figure, also at attention.
Slowly the two raised their swords
and went through the rituallslc mo-
tons Of coming on guard. Crouched
at last. foilS agltter, point TO point,
they fell to thrusting and parrying.

the thud of feet orchestratCd their
Cucl. but not once was there the clash
Of steel upon steel
In fact. there was no possibility of
such a clash, for the second figure
was only the Barons reflection in a
huge wall mirror.
Red in the face, both ducllists at
length lowered their blades and stood
regarding each other with glanccs OF
mutual admiration.
"Scnor." said the man of flesh and
blood, II salute you, the only gentle
man in the entire Argentine whom l
consider a worthy opponent"
When he had left his native Italy 10
settle in this land, it had been one Of
the few tough countries in a -nambN--
pamby world Today the shoe was
on the other foot. 1t was the rest of
the world now that was tough, Argcn
tina soft.
Everywhere but here men were
gloriously DISCRIMINATING one another.
Here they sat and talked. Even
changes of government occurred with
scarcely any boodshed any more;
even the gauchos were getting fat.
What irony thought Baron di
Brolo THAT a man of my kidney
should find himself in such country"
And, so thinking, he sat dswn and
wrote letter TO the newspaper
Cabildo, stating that there does not
exist an Argentine with the courage,
valor or skill TO face me in duel.
Looking at the men, indeed, / would
not be surprised if affairs of honor
were soon settled by women, as has

Two days later the letter was pub
lished. Less than an hour after the
paper was on the streets the Baron
was called to the telephone.
Without preamble hoarse voice
demanded: Remember me?"
No"
you dog! You vile cur! !, Aniceto
Rodriguez, accept your villainous
challenged.
The voice showed no sign of stop
ping but the Baron had stopped listen
ing. He had banged down the receiver
and flung himself at his desk.

fishwife with such as Aniceto Rodri-

And everywhere ducling became the
great topic of the hour.

Once, twice, half q dozen times they
