A Good Bluffer
By C, B. 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
