BURGESS Copyright, 1910, by American Press Association. : ' The best, bluffer I ' ever knew . was Ned Thornton of Chicago. One win ter Ned and t mot In Berlin and went together to a students' ball While Ned was dancing wl;h a very pretty frautein a young fellow "who evidently had a claim upon ber came up to him and said: ' , ': "I will pigstick you." That's the way they have over there ot telling a man that he's got to fight. Ned turned upon him with well as sumed fury and replied: ..,:. '"And, I will let the sawdust out of you." V- .'.; ':.y Later, a dapper officer with a wasp waist stepped up to Ned and handed him a card on which was en graved "Lieutenant Ernst von Batter- stein." Ned, understanding that the officer addressed him as bearer of a c hal - lenge, whipped out his own card, on which he bad scrawled, "Instructor ot Fencing, No. k Dearborn Street. Chi cago, TJ. S. A" v You see, Ned bad known very well what was coming and .with bis usual quick foresight bad prepared bis first move. With a magnificent sweep of his arm be referred the lieutenant to me, and I agreed to meet the gentle man at a cafe In the TJnter den Linden In bait an hour "Ned," I protested as soon as we were alone, "you can't bluff one of these young Germans with so palpable a device as that. My opinion is that we'd better Jump the town. , You know well enough , you've never han dled a foil In your lite, and at shoot ing you couldn't bit a ten story build ing at ten paces. We don't duel, any in America, and If s no disgrace to flee from these fellows .who do. , AH we have to do is to lose ourselves for the rest of the nlgbt and take an early train" in the merning." ..: .1 "Oh, there's some better way but of it than that Do you know what Gen eral Grant said when going to attack his first enemy? He said that the oth er fellow was probably as much scared as he was, and so be went on. Well, I've put at least the probability into this young man's head that I'm an ex pert, and if he doesn't believe me be won't be sure that I'm not Yon go and talk with his second and bear wfcat he has to say." ; I met Von Battersteln and to help Ned on 'in his. game assumed a confi dent air. I said as little as possible, for when a man is playing a desperate game it's best to let him do it all him self. The slightest interference with Ned in this instance might cost him his life. When' tbe lieutenant asked y JJ bxprovosCio flavor -'rflM flZ what weapons my friend as the chal lenged party .would choose t simply replied. "Foils, of courser and as to other details 1 left ttieui entirely to him, except that the affair should be settled at once, as my man had an en gagement in Farls with a pupil who needed his services in an affair or toe same sort - I flattered myself that this was keep ing up the "Instructor in fencing" il lusion pretty well. If the principal on the other side had been an officer In the army the pretense couldn't be re lied on. for a soldier can't very well back out from sure death. But the would be pigsticker was a civilian. and that wasn't so bad. The officer didn't appear In the least frightened, but he was not the .roan who would have to meet a fencing master. It was arranged. In order that Ned should meet his engagement in Paris. that . we should be at a rendezvous where such affairs are settled at 6 o'clock the same morning. 1 went back and reported the outcome to Ned. "What are you going to dor I asked. "You're certainly not going to let this fellow run a sword through your vi tals." - : ' Vf- ' . "Oh. I'll keep up the bluff till the last minute, and If . the thing goes against me I'll find a pretext to slide out with benor.' At 6:30 we took a carriage njd drove to the rendezvous. ; I had left the pro curement of the weapons to the enemy saying that my principal could fence as well wltb a cutlass as a foil and 1 would rely on them for weapons, When we got on the ground the pig sticker was looking over a stock of I foils and testing them, evidently think Ing that If be was to meet a icuciun master who didn't care whether be ; used a foil or a cutlass be must be carefully armed. It looked to me that the bluff game was up and Ned would have to wiggle out' " :.' V . , Just before taking position Ned sent me to the enemy to say that since he didn't wish to kill bis antagonist he would give him the choice between losing an eye or having his nose cut off. I was to bring back word which of these the pigsticker preferred to lose. . ,( '.v : -, . . :"y I saw by the appearance of the prin cipal on the other side- when this cool proposition was announced to him that we hud made a break. Von Battersteln took it to bim. and tbey stood apart talking earnestly. 1 was In suspense as to the Issue. Presently the lieuten ant came to me and said that his prin cipal bad decided that tbe contest was too unequal to be undertaken and that since his enemy was about to leave , f parl8 tne cause of the dissension would be removed. Well, there was more palaver, but that was the end ot It Tbe principals hook hands, and Ned invited the pig- sticker If be ever came to Chicago to visit bis academy on Dearborn street ' Aeeounted For.
