or being slain,, two : men, neither., of
whom could speak nor hear, faced one
another on the duelling ground
this emlngi Like tha milium
pais, tha aeoonda' features were eon-

From the time tha party met upon the
scans of tha duel to their departure no
word was uttered, even when one of the
duellists received a mortal wound and
passed away.
Great secrecy surrounded the entire
affair and It was by chance that It be
came public. Tha preaa secured news
of the impending duel.
When all waa in readiness fo'r the
affray tha principals, whose -faces were
completely concealed behind 1 their
masks, took their plaoea. Facing each
other silently, they awaited-the signal
to fire. A handkerchief waa dropped,
but no word uttered, and tha .pistols
were fired. Neither waa Injured by the
first bullets and the duellists banded
their weapons to their seconds to be re
loaded. Again this performance waa
gone through with. Tha third time,
however, proved to be the one which
was to end the duel, one of the princi
pals falling to the ground mortally
wounded and expiring almost Instantly.'
