SNOW Suimir to KNOW Ul'SOM lhiHt 62 -K I ourth Street A FAM0USFENCER Master at Arms Jean Louis Was a Wizard With the Sword. iREATEST DUEL ON RECORD. n Front of an Army This NapoUonio Wonder Faced Thirteen Italian Sword Experta and Spittod Tham In 8ue eaaaion Without a Rest. To give an Idea of what a brave man ran da If be knows fencing thoroughlj and but keeps cool and collected In danger we will relate a historical duel So extraordinary la this combat that It would be held a romance bad It not been witnessed by a whole army. The hero la Jean Louis, one of the great masters of the sword of the beginning of last century, and the duel happened In Madrid in 1S13. He was the master at arms of the Thirty-second regiment of French Infantry. The First regi ment, composed entirely of Italians, formed part of the same brigade. Regimental esprit de corps and rival ries of nationality caused constant quarrels, when swords were often whipped out or bullets exchanged. After a small battle between the two factions of the brigade bad occurred In the streets of Madrid, in which over 200 French and Italian soldiers had taken part the officers of the two regl nieuts. in a council of war assembled. decided to give such breaches of order great blow and to re-establish disci pline. They declared that the masters at arms of the two regiments involved should take up the quarrel and fight It out Imagine a whole army in battle array on one of the large plains that sur round Madrid. In the center a large ring Is left open for the contestants. This spot la raised above the plain so that not one of the spectators of this tragic scene gayly dressed officers, soldiers in line, Spaniards, excited as never a bullfight excited them will miss one phase of the contest. It is before 10.000 men that the honor of an army is about to be avengea in me blood of thirty brave men. The drum is heard. Two men, naked to the waist step In the ring. The tlrst Is tall and strong. Bis black eyes roll disdainfully upon the gaping crowd. He is Glacomo Ferrari, the celebrated Italian. The second, tall, also hand some and wltn muscles line Bieeu stands modestly awaiting the word of command. Ells name Is Jean Louis. The seconds take their places on either side of their principals. A deathlike silence ensues. "On guard!" The two masters cross swords. Gla como Ferrari lunges repeatedly at Jean Louis, but In vain. Ills every thrust is met by a parry. De makes up bis mind to bide bis chance and caresses and teases his opponent's blade. Jean Louis, calm and watchful, lends him self to the play, when, quicker than lightning, the Italian Jumps aside with a loud yell and makes a terrible lunge at Jean Louis, a Florentine trick often successful. But with extraordinary ra pidity Jean Louis bns parried and ris posts quickly in the shoulder. "It is nothing." cries Glacomo, "a me: scratch." And they again fall on guard. Almost directly he Is hit In the breast This time the sword of Jenn Louis, who is now attacking, pen etrates deeply. Glacomo's face be comes livid, bis sword drops from his band, and be falls heavily on the turf. He Is dead. Jean Louis Is already In position. He wipes bis reeking blade; then, with the point of bis sword on the ground, be calmly awaits the next man. The best fencer of the First regiment bas Just been carried away a corpse, but the day is not yet over. Fourteen adversaries are there, impatient to measure swords with the conqueror, burning to avenge the master they bad deemed Invincible. Jean Louis hardly bas two minutes' rest lie is ready. A new adversary stands before him. A sinister click of swords Is beard, a lunge, a parry, a ris- post and then a cry, a slgb, and all Is over. A second body la before Jean Louis. A third adversary advances. They want Jean Louis to rest "I am not tired," be answers, with a smile. The signal Is given The Italian la as tall as the one who lies there a corpse covered by a military cloak. He has closely watched Jean Louis' play and thinks he has guessed the secret of his victories. He multiplies bis feints and tricks; then, all at once, bounding like a tiger on his prey, be gives bis opponent a terrible thrust In the lower line. But Jean Louis' sword bas parried and is now deep within bis opponent's breast What need we to relate any more? Ten new adversaries followed LIm, and the ten fell before Jean Louis amid the excited yells aod roars of an army. At the request of the Thirty-second regiment's colonel, who thought the lesson sufficient Jean Louis after much pressing consented to stop the combat, and be shook hands with tbe two survivors, applauded by 10,000 men. From that day fights ceased between French and Italian soldiers. This wonderful and gigantic combat Slight be held a fable were not all the facts above stated still found in the archives of the ministry of war. Llp-plncott'a.
